Initiation of Translation02:33

Initiation of Translation

38.5K
Initiating translation is complex because it involves multiple molecules. Initiator tRNA, ribosomal subunits, and eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are all required to assemble on the initiation codon of mRNA. This process consists of several steps that are mediated by different eIFs.
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...

Transcription Initiation

20.6K
Initiation is the first step of transcription in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic RNA Polymerase (RNAP) can bind to the template DNA and start transcribing. On the other hand, transcription in eukaryotes requires additional proteins, called transcription factors, to first bind to the promoter region in the DNA template. This binding helps recruit the specific RNAP that can assemble on the DNA and start transcription.
The promoters and enhancers and their accessory proteins allow tight regulation of...

S-Cdk Initiates DNA Replication

5.5K
The cell cycle is a series of events leading to DNA duplication followed by the division of cell content to form two daughter cells. The cell cycle progresses in four stages—the cell increases in size (gap 1 or G1-phase), duplicates its DNA (synthesis or S-phase), prepares to divide (gap 2 or G2-phase), and divides (mitosis or M-phase).
Two states at the origin of replication
In eukaryotes, the initiation of replication occurs at many sites on the chromosomes, called the origins of...

What is an Experiment?

17.5K
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

Thomson's e/m Experiment

6.7K
In a beam of charged particles created by a heated cathode, the particles move at different speeds. However, many applications need a beam with uniform particle speeds. An arrangement known as a velocity selector uses electric and magnetic fields to pick particles with a particular speed from the beam.
A particle with charge q, speed v, and mass m enters an area from the top, where the magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular both to the particle's motion and to one another. The magnetic...

Summary

Maxillary distraction osteogenesis using the internal maxillary distraction (IMD) device effectively corrects severe midface hypoplasia in young patients. This technique improves function, aesthetics, and self-perception with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Pediatric Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Maxillary hypoplasia affects 25% of cleft lip and palate patients, causing airway obstruction, malocclusion, and facial disfigurement.
  • Syndromic conditions like Crouzon syndrome can also present with severe maxillary hypoplasia.
  • Maxillary distraction osteogenesis is the preferred method for stable correction of severe hypoplasia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new internal maxillary distraction (IMD) device for treating severe midface hypoplasia in pediatric patients.
  • To assess functional and aesthetic outcomes, as well as complications, associated with early maxillary distraction.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-two pediatric patients (ages 6-16) with severe midface hypoplasia underwent midface distraction using the IMD device.
  • Distraction distances ranged from 15 to 30 mm.
  • Outcomes were assessed for functional and aesthetic improvements, and complications were recorded.

Main Results:

  • No major complications were reported; all patients showed improvement in functional and aesthetic parameters.
  • Two minor complications occurred, and two patients achieved less than the intended distraction due to converging vectors.
  • The IMD device facilitated significant correction of midface hypoplasia.

Conclusions:

  • Early maxillary distraction with the IMD device is a valuable technique for interval correction of severe midface hypoplasia in pediatric patients.
  • This approach improves occlusion, aesthetics, and self-perception prior to definitive orthognathic surgery.
  • The IMD device offers a safe and effective option for managing severe maxillary hypoplasia in younger individuals.
