Association of vaping with decreased vascular endothelial growth factor expression and decreased microvessel density in cutaneous wound healing tissue in rats

Abstract: Vaping is suggested to be a risk factor for poor wound healing akin to smoking. However, the molecular and histologic mechanisms underlying this postulation remain unknown. Our study sought to compare molecular and histologic changes in cutaneous flap and non-flap tissue between vaping, smoking and control cohorts. Animal

“…Waterman et al (2016) identified smoking as a significant risk factor for increased failure rates in meniscus transplant surgeries, suggesting that tobacco use may negatively affect healing and long-term success [16]. The current literature has well established that smoking overall significantly impairs tissue healing, a crucial factor in orthopedic conditions such as meniscus tears [15,17,27,109]. Smoking has been shown to decrease vascular endothelial growth factor expression and microvessel density in healing tissues, which are vital for effective wound healing [109].…”

Smoking has been shown to decrease vascular endothelial growth factor expression and microvessel density in healing tissues, which are vital for effective wound healing [109]. In the broader scheme of orthopedic-related injuries, smoking significantly impacts the outcomes of knee ligament surgeries, such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and meniscus reconstruction.…”

“…This is relevant for assessing both disease and surgical risk; an association with e‐cig exposure and poor wound healing and flap failure has been reported in both animal models and surgical patients. 97 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 Unfortunately, due to the variable nicotine content of e‐cig products, it can be difficult to obtain a quantitative estimate of usage (ie, pack year equivalent).…”

“…It is important, then, to ask about specific forms of tobacco consumption, both inhaled and smokeless, when assessing a patient's tobacco history. This is relevant for assessing both disease and surgical risk; an association with e‐cig exposure and poor wound healing and flap failure has been reported in both animal models and surgical patients 97,104‐111 . Unfortunately, due to the variable nicotine content of e‐cig products, it can be difficult to obtain a quantitative estimate of usage (ie, pack year equivalent).…”

“…In addition to dysfunction, vascular oxidative stress [42,43], decreased of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, and a reduction of the density of capillaries have been reported [44]. There is significantly increased carotid plaque burden that young adult smokers and vapers exhibit compared with matched nonsmokers [45 ▪ ].…”
