Base Excision Repair

Base Excision Repair

One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

DNA Distortion and Damage
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

Signal processing techniques are essential for accurately converting continuous signals to digital formats and vice versa. When a continuous signal is sampled with a period T, the resulting sampled signal exhibits replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain, spaced at intervals equal to the sampling frequency. To handle this sampled signal, a zero-order hold method can be applied, which creates a piecewise constant signal by retaining each sample's value until the next...

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Surgical Oncology
Plastic Surgery

Background:

Cutaneous melanoma, particularly involving the umbilicus, presents unique surgical challenges.
Reconstruction of the umbilicus after wide excision requires specialized techniques to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the successful application of an island pedicle flap for umbilical reconstruction following melanoma excision.
To evaluate the efficacy of this flap technique in managing abdominal wall defects involving the umbilicus.

Main Methods:

A case report of an 81-year-old female patient with nodular cutaneous melanoma of the abdominal wall involving the umbilicus.
Wide excision of the melanoma with a 2 cm margin.
Reconstruction of the umbilicus and closure of the resulting defect using an island pedicle flap.

Main Results:

The island pedicle flap facilitated successful closure of the abdominal wall defect.
The flap allowed for effective reconstruction of the umbilicus, achieving a satisfactory outcome.
The surgical procedure was well-tolerated by the elderly patient.

Conclusions:

Island pedicle flaps are a viable and effective option for umbilical reconstruction after melanoma excision.
This technique offers a reliable solution for complex abdominal wall defects involving the umbilicus.
Further studies may explore the long-term outcomes and versatility of this reconstructive approach.
