DNA Damage Can Stall the Cell Cycle02:36

DNA Damage Can Stall the Cell Cycle

3.2K
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...

Overview of DNA Repair02:25

Overview of DNA Repair

33.9K
In order to be passed through generations, genomic DNA must be undamaged and error-free. However, every day, DNA in a cell undergoes several thousand to a million damaging events by natural causes and external factors. Ionizing radiation such as UV rays, free radicals produced during cellular respiration, and hydrolytic damage from metabolic reactions can alter the structure of DNA. Damages caused include single-base alteration, base dimerization, chain breaks, and cross-linkage.

Translesion DNA Polymerases02:10

Translesion DNA Polymerases

11.2K
Translesion (TLS) polymerases rescue stalled DNA polymerases at sites of damaged bases by replacing the replicative polymerase and installing a nucleotide across the damaged site. Doing so, TLS allows additional time for the cell to repair the damage before resuming regular DNA replication.
TLS polymerases are found in all three domains of life - archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Of the different classes of TLS polymerases, members of the Y family are fitted with specialized structures that...

Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

18.1K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

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:

    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Tracheal damage from blunt/penetrating trauma and inhalation injuries can cause acute, life-threatening airway compromise.
    • Subtle signs and symptoms, often masked by other injuries, make diagnosis challenging and can lead to delayed treatment.
    • Delayed diagnosis and treatment can result in the need for surgical repair months or years after the initial injury.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the incidence, mechanisms, clinical presentations, and diagnostic methods for tracheal injuries.
    • To outline the key aspects of emergency airway management and anesthetic considerations.
    • To discuss definitive treatment options, including surgical repair and conservative approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on tracheal damage from blunt/penetrating trauma and inhalation injuries.
    • Discussion of diagnostic procedures including laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, and computed tomography (CT) of the chest.
    • Analysis of emergency airway management and definitive treatment strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Early assessment, identification, and prompt management are critical for reducing morbidity and mortality.
    • Diagnostic procedures like laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, and CT scans are essential for definitive diagnosis.
    • Surgical repair (direct suture or resection and anastomosis) is the primary treatment for most tracheal injuries.

    Conclusions:

    • Tracheal injuries necessitate a high index of suspicion for timely diagnosis and effective management.
    • Airway control and ventilation are paramount in emergency settings.
    • Surgical intervention is the preferred treatment, with conservative management reserved for specific cases like pediatric patients or iatrogenic damage.
