Effect of cyclophosphamide on the course of cutaneous wound healing

|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
The healing process of cutaneous wounds has been followed with the aid of mechanical tests, autoradiographic investigation of fibroblastic reaction in the wound and method of electron microscopy. Cyclophosphamide has been found not to have any substantial effect on the favorable course of healing of the surgical wound, hence, surgical intervention combined with postoperative administration of Cyclophosphamide does not jeopardize the healing process.

Phases of Wound Repair
Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...

Healing II: Complications
Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
