stress repair mechanism
DESCRIPTION
Based on Capillary Gate Theory and Tissue Repair Theory, this presentation will explain the recently identified “Stress Repair Mechanism” (SRM) that enables the long-anticipated Universal Theory of Medicine postulated by Hans Selye in 1954. The SRM maintains and repairs vertebrate tissues and accounts for most of the mysterious manifestations of allostasis that remain unexplained by Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Axis (HPA) hormones. SRM activity explains hemodynamic physiology, capillary hemostasis, infarction, Korotkoff sounds, blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes, allostasis, allostatic load, anesthesia, analgesia, atherosclerosis, apoptosis, malignancy, eclampsia, sepsis, Multi-System Organ Failure (MSOF), the surgical stress syndrome, the fight or flight response, and numerous other manifestations of physiology, pathology, and allostasis. SRM function comprises the autonomic nervous system, the vascular endothelium, and the dynamic enzymatic interaction of blood-borne hepatic Factors VII, VIIIC, IX and X that produces thrombin, soluble fibrin and insoluble fibrin, whose combined effects account for all SRM manifestations. The vascular endothelium is a diaphanous neuroendocrine organ that lines all blood vessels and is the sole constituent of capillary walls. It secretes tissue factor into extravascular tissues, and insulates those tissues from the hepatic enzymes, so that tissue disruption exposes tissue factor to the enzymatic interaction and activates tissue repair. The vascular endothelium also releases nitric oxide and von Willebrand Factor into blood in accord with autonomic balance to regulate the enzymatic interaction to govern tissue perfusion and organ function. Therefore, continuously fluctuating combinations of nervous stimuli that affect autonomic balance and forces that disrupt tissues determine SRM activity.TRANSCRIPT

Capillary Gate Mechanism/Component
1. Operates in flowing blood2. Molecular level capillary gate that controls capillary flow3. Closed by SNS release of VWF that generates Insoluble Fibrin that binds to
red cells in capillary lumen4. Opened by PNS release of NO that disintegrates Insoluble Fibrin into fibrin
split products5. Turbulence Mechanism regulates viscosity & coagulability in larger vessels6. Controls blood pressure, heart rate, Cardiac Output, atherosclerosis7. Controls organ function8. Determines tissue perfusion and oxygenation
The Capillary Gate
Tissue Repair Mechanism/Component
1. Clot formation (seals flowing blood from damaged tissues)2. Inflammation (loosens cell connections)3. Chemotaxis (attracts repair cells to damaged tissues)4. Fibrin infiltration (forms structure for cell activity)5. Cell proliferation & differentiation (replaces damaged tissues)6. Production of collagen & bone7. Angiogenesis (perfuses developing tissues)8. Immune cell activity (removes debris & combats infection)9. Apoptosis of repair cells (shrinks wound & enables closure)

1. The Vascular Endothelium is a nervous gland that releases numerous hormones
2. The Vascular Endothelium releases VWF in accord with Sympathetic activity
3. Factor VIII consists of hepatic VIIIC plus VWF produced by the Vascular Endothelium
4. Thrombin energizes cell and enzyme activity 5. Thrombin requires both Ca+ and ATP6. Agents that bind to Ca+ inhibit thrombin activity7. The vascular endothelium releases Nitric Oxide in accord with
Parasympathetic activity to induce “nitrergic neurogenic vasodilation”8. All cells possess thrombin receptors in combinations that are characteristic
of the cell type9. Fibrinogen, soluble fibrin and insoluble fibrin can now be distinguished
