Abstract
This study examined the biological functions of the butanol extracts of green pine cones (GPCs) that had not ripened completely. The butanol extracts of GPC showed 78.22% DPPH-scavenging activity, 53.55% TEAC and 71.50% hyaluronidase (HAase) inhibition activity. They also exhibited inhibition activity against food poisoning microorganisms. The contents of total phenolic compounds and total flavonoids were 296.75 and 26.07 mg/g, respectively. Biologically active compounds were analyzed and separated using HPLC related to the DPPH-scavenging and HAase inhibition activities. Gallotannin was the primary biologically active compound with DPPH-scavenging and HAase inhibition activities in the GPC butanol extracts.

Abstract
The composition of the extracellular matrix changes during dermal repair. Initially, hyaluronan (HA) concentration is high, however, by day 3, HA is eliminated. HA optimizes collagen organization within granulation tissue. One possible mechanism of HA modulation of collagen packing is through the promotion of gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC). Gap junctions are gated channels that allow rapid intercellular communication and synchronization of coupled cell activities. The gap junction channel is composed of connexin (Cx) proteins that form a gated channel between coupled cells. HA is reported to enhance Cx43 expression in transformed fibroblasts. GJIC was quantified by the scrape loading technique and reported as a coupling index. The coupling index for human dermal fibroblasts was 4.6 +/- 0.2, while the coupling index for fibroblasts treated with HA more than doubled to 10.6 +/- 0.7. By Western blot analysis no differences were appreciated in the protein levels of Cx43 or beta-catenin, a protein involved in the translocation of Cx to the cell surface. By immuno-histology Cx43 and beta-catenin were evenly distributed throughout the cell in controls, but in cells treated with HA these proteins were co-localized to the cell surface. Coupled fibroblasts are reported to enhance the organization of collagen fibrils. It is proposed that HA increases the accumulation of Cx43 and beta-catenin on the cell surface, leading to greater GJIC and enhanced collagen organization.

Abstract
Fetal wound healing proceeds without fibrosis or scar formation in contrast to adult wound healing. The mechanisms responsible for this remarkable process are mediated in part through a fetal wound extracellular matrix rich in hyaluronic acid (HA). Polyvinylalcohol sponge (PVA) wound implants were placed pervertebrally at 24 days' gestation in fetal (N = 118) rabbits and in adult (N = 44) rabbits, and then harvested at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 days postwounding. To analyze the fetal and adult wound matrix, the HA concentration of wound fluid within the PVA sponge was quantitated using a newly developed assay. A significantly increased (P < .05) HA deposition on days 1 through 7 in the fetal wounds was found compared with the adult wound. These observations may suggest an important physiologic role in fetal wound healing by providing a more fluid and malleable matrix. These results, coupled with earlier findings of the lack of an acute inflammatory response in the fetus, further support the hypothesis that fetal response to injury is significantly different from adult response in this prescience of an implanted PVA sponge.

Abstract
The lack of scarring and fibrosis in healing fetal skin wounds may relate to a prolonged presence of hyaluronan (HA). It has been suggested that fetal wounds may lack hyaluronidase, but the hyaluronidase levels in fetal wounds remain unknown. The size of HA influences its biological action, especially in relation to angiogenesis, which is also reduced in fetal wound healing. The present study determined the levels and size of HA, as well as hyaluronidase levels, in fetal and adult lamb wounds. Wire mesh cylinders, or polyvinyl acetate sponges, were placed subcutaneously in fetal lambs at 75, 100 or 120 days gestation. Wound fluid and wound tissue were harvested 3, 7 or 14 days later. Samples were digested with papain and both HA and hyaluronidase activity were determined in a competitive ELISA assay. Size distribution of HA was estimated using a Sephacryl S1000 column and fractions were collected for HA determination. Adult wound fluid HA remained low (4-5 micrograms/ml) over the 14 days. Fetal fluids were similar on day 3, but increased to 15-25 micrograms/ml by day 7. In 75/100-day wounds, HA remained elevated at 14 days, but in 120-day fluids decreased to levels similar to adult fluid. The HA in all fluids was polydisperse with a main peak at 200 kDa. Hyaluronidase levels were detected in all samples, reaching a peak 7 days post-wounding. In adult wound fluids hyaluronidase was much higher than the fetal wound fluids. These data suggest that lower hyaluronidase levels in fetal wounds may underlie the different pattern of HA deposition seen in fetal wounds.

Abstract
Granulation-tissue fibroblasts are phenotypically unique cells that play an important role in wound repair and the development of chronic inflammatory lesions in connective tissue. In the present study, we compared proteoglycan, type I, and type III procollagen gene expression by granulation-tissue fibroblasts from wound and chronically inflamed tissues with normal gingival fibroblasts. We also analyzed the effect of TGF-beta 1 on proteoglycan mRNA levels and macromolecule production by these cells. One granulation-tissue fibroblast strain that was composed exclusively of alpha-smooth-muscle actin-positive cells (myofibroblasts) expressed strongly elevated basal levels of biglycan, fibromodulin, and versican (the large chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan), as well as type I and III procollagen mRNA. TGF-beta 1 enhanced more potently the expression of types I and III procollagen, biglycan, and versican mRNA by these cells as compared with normal fibroblasts. Other granulation-tissue fibroblast strains, in which about half of the cells expressed alpha-smooth-muscle actin, also showed enhanced proteoglycan and types I and III procollagen expression as compared with normal fibroblasts. These results suggest that alterations in matrix composition during inflammation and wound healing are regulated partly by altered phenotypes of the cells that produce the matrix, and partly by altered responses of these cells to TGF-beta 1.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), which is known to play an important role in wound healing, was incorporated in an artificial skin material and studied for its potential to create a wound bed which would support a skin graft. Collagen sponge based artificial skin was soaked in 0.3% HA in phosphate buffered saline and grafted onto skin defects in rats. Control grafts were soaked in normal saline solution. HA incorporated implants and control implants were simultaneously grafted onto wounds made on either side of the spine. To examine the effect of HA incorporation, the percentage area of cellular tuft infiltration and the number of capillaries present in the graft matrix were evaluated at 7 and 14 days after the operation. At postoperative day 7, there was a statistically significant difference in the number of capillaries in the matrix of the experimental versus the control implants. There was no difference in the percentage area of cellular tuft infiltration. At postoperative day 14, all implants exhibited better ingrowth of granulation tissue than at day 7. The differences between the experimental and control implants were statistically significant with respect to both the percentage area of cellular tuft infiltration and the number of capillaries. It is therefore concluded that in artificial skin HA incorporation accelerates the ingrowth of granulation tissue, making a more suitable graft bed.

Abstract
The principal objective of this communication has been to determine the manner in which two tissue culture substrata (plastic dishes and type I collagen gels) modulate the response of adult skin fibroblasts to TGF-beta 1 with respect to hyaluronan (HA) synthesis. Our results indicate that (a) fibroblasts cultured on collagen gels synthesised more HA compared to cells plated at the same density on plastic dishes, (b) this up-regulation in total HA synthesis by collagen-cultured cells was accompanied by an increase in the relative proportion of high molecular mass species of newly synthesised HA, and (c) the specific effect of TGF-beta 1 on HA synthesis was dependent upon the substratum: i.e. TGF-beta 1 inhibited HA synthesis by subconfluent fibroblasts cultured on both substrata, had no apparent effect on confluent cells cultured on collagen gels, and stimulated HA synthesis by confluent cells cultured on plastic dishes. The TGF beta-stimulated of HA synthesis by confluent fibroblasts cultured on plastic dishes persisted when these cells were transferred to collagen gels in the absence of further TGF-beta 1: interestingly, a second exposure of these plastic pre-incubated cells to TGF-beta 1 whilst growing on collagen resulted in a down-regulation in HA synthesis. Confluent fibroblasts pre-incubated with TGF-beta 1 for 24 h on plastic dishes (i.e. under conditions which stimulate HA synthesis) also displayed an HA-dependent stimulation in cell migration when subsequently plated onto collagen gels in the absence of further cytokine.

Abstract
Healing of soft and hard tissues results from a progression of events initiated by injury and directed toward reestablishing normal structure and function. The ubiquity of proteoglycans in mammalian tissues virtually guarantees their involvement in tissue restitution. The dramatic advances in cellular and molecular biology in recent years have added significantly to understanding the specific roles played by proteoglycans in wound repair processes.

Abstract
This article reviews the research and clinical findings relevant to the treatment of acute tendinitis in the horse. The goals of treatment are to reduce inflammation, minimize scar tissue formation, and promote restoration of normal tendon function. A wide variety of treatments have and still are being used to treat tendinitis, which indicates that there is no uniformly successful way to return a horse to full athletic function after injury. Therapy depends on the severity of tendinitis and duration of injury and can be divided into treatment during the inflammatory, repair, and maturation phases of healing.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in the process of wound repair. Deposition of this glycosaminoglycan polymer is in turn controlled by levels of the enzyme hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase activity was examined in a rat incisional skin wound model comparing laser and scalpel wounds. A polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) hyaluronic acid substrate assay was used to detect differences in the rates of appearance, and level, of hyaluronidase activity in wound homogenates. The hyaluronidase activity in laser wounds appeared earlier, had a bimodal distribution, and increased to a higher level than that in scalpel wounds. The origin of hyaluronidase is not clear, but control of its appearance and modulation of its activity may be a more complex process than previously assumed.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a prominent molecule in the extracellular matrix and is enriched whenever there is rapid tissue proliferation, regeneration and repair. HA is degraded in part by hyaluronidases (HA'ases) that are not well characterized. We have developed a novel ELISA-like rapid assay for HA'ases and their inhibitors. The assay is based on a high affinity biotinylated HA-binding peptide derived from tryptic digests of proteoglycan core protein of bovine nasal cartilage and the avidin-biotin reaction. HA-coated plates were incubated with serial dilutions of Streptomyces HA'ase, and the undegraded HA was measured. This established a standard curve for HA'ase activity against which all unknown enzyme samples were compared. The assay is easily modified to also serve a measure of HA'ase inhibitors. For detection of inhibitors, aliquots of sample were preincubated with a known activity of HA'ase and inhibition of HA degradation by the mixture was measured. We have used this assay to document the presence of potent HA'ase inhibitors in fetal calf sera. These techniques will aid in the purification and characterization of Ha'ases and their inhibitors.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key structural element of the extracellular matrix. Turnover rates of HA are determined in part by hyaluronidases, that are themselves modulated by hyaluronidase inhibitors. A substrate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis procedure is described here that separates enzyme from inhibitors. The HA is embedded in the gel, and following electrophoretic separation, enzymatic digestion of the HA is allowed to occur. The gel is stained with Alcian blue and can be secondarily stained with Coomassie blue. Enzymatic activities appear as cleared bands on a light blue background, while major proteins appear as dark blue bands. The procedure can be performed in the presence or absence of sodium dodecylsulfate, though levels of hyaluronidase activity decrease when the detergent is used. Hyaluronidases active in the neutral or acid pH range can be detected. This technique will facilitate characterization of hyaluronidases and inhibitors from a wide variety of sources.

Abstract
We characterized the mechanisms by which recombinant (r) tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IFN-gamma, and IL-1, alone and in combination, regulate human lung fibroblast hyaluronic acid (HA) production. Each cytokine stimulated fibroblast HA production. The combination of rTNF and rIFN-gamma resulted in a synergistic increase in the production of high molecular weight HA. This was due to a synergistic increase in hyaluronate synthetase activity and a simultaneous decrease in HA degradation. In contrast, when rTNF and rIL-1 were combined, an additive increase in low molecular weight HA was noted. This was due to a synergistic increase in hyaluronate synthetase activity and a simultaneous increase in HA degradation. Human lung fibroblasts contained a hyaluronidase that, at pH 3.7, depolymerized high molecular weight HA to 10-40 kD end products of digestion. However, hyaluronidase activity did not correlate with fibroblast HA degradation. Instead, HA degradation correlated with fibroblast-HA binding, which was increased by rIL-1 plus rTNF and decreased by rIFN-gamma plus rTNF. Recombinant IL-1 and rTNF weakly stimulated and rIL-1 and rTNF in combination further augmented the levels of CD44 mRNA in lung fibroblasts. In contrast, rIFN-gamma did not significantly alter the levels of CD44 mRNA in unstimulated or rTNF stimulated cells. These studies demonstrate that rIL-1, rTNF, and rIFN-gamma have complex effects on biosynthesis and degradation which alter the quantity and molecular weight of the HA produced by lung fibroblasts. They also show that fibroblast HA degradation is mediated by a previously unrecognized lysosomal-type hyaluronidase whose function may be regulated by altering fibroblast-HA binding. Lastly, they suggest that the CD44 HA receptor may be involved in this process.

Abstract
This study examines the histologic and biochemical features of wound healing in a cleft lip model in the mid-third-trimester fetal rabbit. At days 1, 2, and 4 after the procedure, control, unrepaired, and repaired fetal heads were obtained, sectioned, and stained for histologic examination. The localization of hyaluronic acid in the wound was documented using a cartilage-derived hyaluronic acid-binding protein. In both repaired and unrepaired wounds, the fetal cleft healed without inflammatory cell infiltration or scar formation. Six months after birth, the repaired cleft showed complete regeneration of muscle across the wound and the collagen fibers were of normal density and orientation. Decreased hyaluronic acid deposition was observed in unrepaired clefts as compared with adjacent tissue; no such difference was detected in repaired clefts. Our findings support the hypothesis that a cleft lip repaired in utero heals without the scarring that accompanies postnatal repair. This may explain the lack of maxillary growth restriction after in utero cleft lip repair.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is an essential component of wound healing. Vessel growth is controlled by the local actions of chemical mediators, the extracellular matrix, metabolic gradients, and physical forces. Manipulation of some of these factors can improve healing in experimental wounds. The clinical potential and specific application of 'angiomodulatory' strategies are discussed.

Abstract
Alterations in glycosaminoglycans and their receptors have been associated with changes in cell proliferation during development, wound healing, regeneration, and remodeling. We have previously found a differential effect of hyaluronic acid on the attachment of vascular cells in vitro; endothelial cell (EC) attachment was improved on hyaluronic acid-coated substrates, whereas that of smooth muscle cells (SMC) was reduced (Orlidge and D'Amore, 1986). To determine if hyaluronic acid binding sites are involved in these different substrate preferences, we have studied specific hyaluronic acid binding to cultured bovine aortic EC and SMC. Since very large numbers of cells are required for these binding assays (3 x 10(6)/data point), and since the level of hyaluronate binding to fixed and native SMC and EC was similar, fixed cells were used throughout this study. The effect of cell density on hyaluronic acid binding was investigated. No significant difference was observed between hyaluronic acid binding to sparse and high density SMC. On the other hand, a more than threefold elevation in specific hyaluronic acid binding was observed on low density EC when compared to binding on high density EC. Hyaluronic acid binding was found to be specific; excesses of heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate had no effect on the levels of specific binding. Finally, the effect of cell passage on SMC binding of hyaluronic acid was measured. Specific binding was measured from 1st to 12th passage cells and was found to increase with passage number so that by passage 12, hyaluronic acid binding was fourfold that of 1st passage cells. These data support the concept that SMC may become less differentiated upon continuous culture. Our results indicate quantitative changes in the level of hyaluronic acid binding to vascular cells as a function of their growth state. Further, these data correlate well with in vivo observations which suggest a role for hyaluronic acid in vascular development.

Abstract
Subcutaneous implantation in rats of partially purified transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) derived from bovine bone induced extensive development of connective tissue with associated edema. Subcutaneous injection of pure TGF-beta 1 or TGF-beta 2 also induced connective tissue deposition in mice and guinea pigs. Sustained release of TGF-beta 1 from mini-osmotic pumps implanted subcutaneously in mature guinea pigs promoted connective tissue deposition that encapsulated the pumps. Biochemical analyses of the connective tissue capsule demonstrated that TGF-beta 1 induced a dose-dependent accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The GAG/DNA ratio also increased as a function of the rate of TGF-beta 1 released, suggesting that the factor increased production of GAGs per cell. Cellulose acetate gel electrophoresis of the GAGs and hydrolysis with specific glycosidases revealed that the majority of GAGs consisted of hyaluronate and chondroitin sulfate. These results demonstrate that TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 stimulate the production of not only collagenous extracellular matrix components, but also dramatically increase the in vivo synthesis of hyaluronate and chondroitin sulfate.

Abstract
The effect of hyaluronidase treatment on the incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into hyaluronate in human skin fibroblast cultures was investigated. Fourth passage cells in confluent cultures were treated with hyaluronidase from bovine tests, Streptomyces and leech in Dulbecco's minimum essential medium in the presence of 3% fetal calf serum. The medium was removed from the control (non-treated) and the treated cultures and the washed cell layers were incubated with [3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate. [3H]Hyaluronate was separated by DEAE Trisacyl chromatography and identified by specific enzymic assays. Hyaluronidase treatment induced an increase in the amount of labelled hyaluronate secreted into the medium and into the pericellular compartment. This amount reached a plateau with increasing enzyme concentration and with the time of treatment. Oligosaccharides derived from hyaluronate did not produce this effect. The maximal increase was about 3-fold, and was not inhibited by exogenous hyaluronate (25-100 micrograms/ml) or by oligosaccharides from hyaluronate. Cycloheximide (0.03 mM) inhibited hyaluronate synthesis by 18% or less in the control cells and by 50% in the hyaluronidase-pretreated fibroblasts. No significant difference was found in the hyaluronate synthase activity between control and treated cells, at 60 min following treatment, indicating the reversibility of the effect. The persistence of the stimulation required the presence of hyaluronidase. The treatment of cells with specific hyaluronidases (from Streptomyces and leech) or with testicular hyaluronidase did not modify the labelling of the sulfated glycosaminoglycans. The incorporation kinetics of the [3H]glucosamine into labeled hyaluronate and the increased amount of non-labelled hyaluronate determined by radiometric assay indicated a specific stimulation of hyaluronate synthesis in the hyaluronidase-pretreated fibroblast cultures.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that confluent fetal fibroblasts migrate into three-dimensional collagen gels to a significantly greater extent than their normal adult counterparts. Recent studies have revealed that this behavioral difference results from the secretion by fetal fibroblasts of a soluble migration-stimulating factor (MSF) which acts on these cells in an autocrine fashion. Adult fibroblasts do not produce MSF but remain responsive to it. Skin fibroblasts from cancer patients resemble fetal fibroblasts (rather than normal adult cells) with respect to their migratory behavior on collagen gels and continued production of MSF. This communication is concerned with elucidating the biochemical basis of MSF activity. Data are presented indicating that a) hyaluronic acid is required for the elevated migratory activity displayed by confluent fetal and breast cancer patient skin fibroblast; b) adult fibroblasts exhibit a bell-shaped dose-response to MSF, with maximal stimulation of migration observed at a concentration of 10 ng/ml; c) the migratory activity of adult fibroblasts pre-incubated with MSF remains high in the absence of additional factor: and d) MSF affects both the quantity and size class distribution of hyaluronic acid synthesized by adult fibroblasts. We have previously speculated that the persistent fetal-like fibroblasts of breast cancer patients play a direct role in disease pathogenesis by perturbing normal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. The observations reported here suggest that MSF-induced alterations in hyaluronic acid synthesis may contribute to the molecular basis of such perturbations.

Abstract
Fetal response to injury has been characterized by the deposition of a matrix that is not primarily collagen. This study was designed to identify this matrix, in order to better understand the fetal mechanism of tissue repair. Silastic/polyvinyl alcohol sponge (PVA) wound implants were placed paravertebrally in 24-day gestation (31 days = term) fetal (n = 65) and adult (n = 43) rabbits and then harvested from one hour to 6 days post-wounding. Histologic analysis of the fetal wound matrix deposited in the PVA implants suggested the presence of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) rather than the collagen found in adult wound implants. To further analyze the fetal wound matrix, the GAG content was quantitated using an Alcian Blue dye-binding assay. Results showed significantly increased (p less than 0.05) GAG deposition on days 2-6 in the fetal wound compared to the adult wound. Fetal GAG levels were approximately three times those of the adult during this period. Separation of individual GAG species by cellulose acetate electrophoresis demonstrated that the GAG matrix of the fetal wound was composed predominantly of hyaluronic acid. This finding was confirmed by selective enzymatic digestion of separated GAG species using highly specific polysaccharidases. These observations of hyaluronic acid deposition in the fetal wound may be ascribed an important physiologic role by providing a more fluid and malleable matrix rather than a restrictive matrix composed of collagen. This new evidence coupled with earlier findings of the lack of an acute inflammatory response in the fetus further supports the hypothesis that the fetal response to injury is significantly different from the adult response.

Abstract
Hyaluronate degradation was examined in cultures of vascular wall cells (bovine aortic endothelial cells, rat aortic smooth muscle cells) and in nonvascular cells (chick embryo fibroblasts). The three cell types examined all produced hyaluronidase activity in culture which had a strict acidic pH requirement for activity. This suggested that the enzyme was active only within an acidic intracellular compartment and therefore that hyaluronate degradation occurred at an intracellular site. This was supported by the observation that the presence of hyaluronidase activity alone was not sufficient to ensure degradation of extracellular hyaluronate. Rather, the key limiting factor in this process appeared to be hyaluronate internalization, and this was found to be hyaluronate size-dependent and to a degree, cell-specific. The relationship of these results to morphogenesis and tissue remodeling is discussed.

Abstract
The glycosaminoglycans secreted into the matrices associated with fractures of the rabbit tibia healing under stable and unstable mechanical conditions have been characterized histochemically using the dye Alcian Blue at pH 5.7 in the presence of increasing concentrations of magnesium chloride, and after enzymatic extractions. These results are compared with those of immunohistochemical experiments using monoclonal antibodies which recognize epitopes specific to various glycosaminoglycans. The results indicate that the fibrous tissues, including those of the cavities of the cancellous bone and periosteum, possess hyaluronate and chondroitin sulphate, but the amounts present are small. The glycosaminoglycans detected in the cortical bone are located mainly around the osteocyte lacunae where chondroitin and keratan sulphates are found. The developing trabeculae of cancellous bone in the callus contain chondroitin and keratan sulphates, but as the trabeculae mature, these glycosaminoglycans are no longer present throughout the matrix; they are found particularly around the osteocyte lacunae. The cartilage in the callus of mechanically unstable fractures contains chondroitin, chondroitin-4- and 6-sulphates and keratan sulphate, through their distribution is variable. The small, transient areas of cartilage in the callus of mechanically stable fractures also contain those glycosaminoglycans, but they appear to be less highly sulphated. The mechanical stability of the fractures appears to affect the amount and degree of sulphation of the glycosaminoglycans, rather than the types of glycosaminoglycan produced. The glycosaminoglycans produced during fracture healing are compared with those produced during embryonic development and other healing processes.

Abstract
Newborn mouse epidermal cells proliferate when cultured in 0.05 mM Ca++ medium and terminally differentiate when the Ca++ is increased to about 1.2 mM, the level found in most cell culture media. We found that hyaluronic acid and proteoglycans were synthesized by isolated cultured newborn mouse epidermal cells and that quantitative and qualitative changes in these macromolecules appeared when proliferating epidermal cultures were induced to differentiate by calcium. A major change that occurred with differentiation was a reduction in synthesis of hyaluronic acid while synthesis of proteoglycans and glycoproteins increased. The proteoglycans synthesized in these cultures were heparan sulfate-proteoglycan (90%) and chondroitin sulfate-proteoglycan (10%), regardless of the calcium level.

Abstract
A model is presented outlining the molecular and cellular events that occur during the early stages of the wound healing process. The underlying theme is that there is a specific binding interaction between fibrin, the major clot protein, and hyaluronic acid (HA), a constituent of the wound extracellular matrix. This binding interaction, which could also be stabilized by other cross-linking components, provides the driving force to organize a three-dimensional HA matrix attached to and interdigitated with the initial fibrin matrix. The HA-fibrin matrix plays a major role in the subsequent tissue reconstruction processes. We suggest that HA and fibrin have both structural and regulatory functions at different times during the wound healing process. The concentration of HA in blood and in the initial clot is very low. This is consistent with the proposed interaction between HA and fibrin(ogen), which could interfere with either fibrinogen activation or fibrin assembly and cross-linking. We propose that an activator (e.g. derived from a plasma precursor, platelets or surrounding cells) is produced during the clotting reaction and then stimulates one or more blood cell types to synthesize and secrete HA into the fibrin matrix of the clot. We predict that HA controls the stability of the matrix by regulating the degradation of fibrin. The new HA-fibrin matrix increases or stabilizes the volume and porosity of the clot and then serves as a physical support, a scaffold through which cells trapped in the clot or cells infiltrating from the peripheral edge of the wound can migrate. The HA-fibrin matrix also actively stimulates or induces cell motility and activates and regulates many functions of blood cells, which are involved in the inflammatory response, including phagocytosis and chemotaxis. The secondary HA-fibrin matrix itself is then modified as cells continue to migrate into the wound, secreting hyaluronidase and plasminogen activator to degrade the HA and fibrin. At the same time these cells secrete collagen and glycosaminoglycans to make a more differentiated matrix. The degradation products derived from both fibrin and HA are, in turn, important regulatory molecules which control cellular functions involved in the inflammatory response and new blood vessel formation in the healing wound. The proposed model generates a number of testable experimental predictions.

Abstract
We measured lung hyaluronidase activity in rats during postnatal life and during the repair of oxygen-induced lung injury. Hyaluronidase activity increased rapidly after birth and peaked at 16-fold the initial value at 8 days. The peak preceded decreased cell proliferation and the onset of differentiation; this is consistent with current concepts of the role of hyaluronidase. During the repair of lung injury, hyaluronidase activity increased to 2.5-fold the control value at 1 day post-injury, but had decreased by 3 days. This early peak is probably related to simultaneous cell proliferation and differentiation. We postulate that changes in hyaluronidase can influence lung growth and repair and that the system may be amenable to manipulation.

Abstract
We report the levels of hypoxanthine in rabbit skin granulation tissue, harvested at different postwound intervals and from various locations within the wounds. The effect of full-thickness autogenous skin grafts on hypoxanthine levels has also been examined. The levels of inosine, xanthine, adenosine 5'-monophosphate, and inosine 5'-monophosphate are reported as well. The correlation between the level of these compounds and the healing process suggests they may be useful indicators of the extent of tissue damage.

Abstract
A recently described mammalian wound hyaluronidase is successfully characterized and partially purified in the current study. Peak enzyme activity occurred on postwound day 7, pH optimum 4.5. Both crude and purified wound enzyme exhibited endoglycosidic activity against hyaluronate and chondroitin-4-sulfate but not against chondroitin-6-sulfate or dermatan sulfate. A 5.3-fold increase in activity was obtained by the DEAE-Sephadex purification technique described. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis yielded a single major band near the gel's midrange and one minor band of lesser electrophoretic mobility. These enzyme characteristics support a biochemical analogy between tissue repair in skin and numerous developmental systems and may also provide a simple means for enzymatic differentiation among chondroitin sulfate isomers.

Abstract
Intraoral wounds and biochemical films were examined to determine the best method of fixation for glycosaminoglycans. Tissues fixed in 1% cetyl pyridinium chloride-10% formalin stained intensely with preparations of Alcian blue. When these tissues were treated with Streptomyces hyaluronidase and bacterial chondroitinases, staining was comparable to untreated tissues fixed in only 10% formalin. The addition of cetyl pyridinium chloride to formalin fixatives was a requirement for glycosaminoglycan histochemistry in open wounds, and presumably in other tissues that contain these complex sugars.
