Abstract
This paper is intended to serve as an introduction to
wound healing in connective tissues and its inhibition by
glucocorticoid hypersecretion. To attempt a comprehensive
review on the subject would have been futile; therefore cutaneous
wound healing was chosen as a model. The simpler
structural and functional relationships between the connective
tissue and the epithelium of the skin, the dermis and epidermis
respectively, in comparison to most other tissues, reduces
many of the complexities involved in healing. Infection from
either living microorganisms or inert particulate matter, although
not uncommon after injury, further complicates the basic
healing process and will not be included. The type of wound
to be studied will be a narrow, cutaneous incision with the
understanding that each wound is unique in itself, and depending
on the damage inflicted need be repaired accordingly.
