Bruised Tissue III. Some Factors Affecting Experimental Bruises¹

The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio^,3

Abstract

Regardless of the animal specie tested or the site of the bruise, the sequence of the visible and the measurable chemical changes associated with bruise healing were consistent. This is in agreement with earlier observations.

The results of studying comparative healing rates between rabbits of different ages bore out similar findings of other investigators inasmuch as the younger animals healed significantly more rapidly.

Enhanced healing was observed in animals which had been bruised previously. Each of three successive bruises healed more rapidly than did the preceding one.

The factor or factors responsible for this accelerated healing could at least in part be passively transferred in the whole blood from a previously bruised animal.
