Mismatch Repair

6.6K
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The Mutator Protein Family Plays a Key Role in DNA Mismatch Repair

Overview of DNA Repair

33.7K
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.

Base Excision Repair

26.3K
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...

Lateralization

1.0K
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.

Summary

Meniscal tears in the outer knee meniscus can be repaired using the inside-out technique with vertical mattress sutures. This surgical repair allows for healing and a return to normal activity within four to six months.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Knee Anatomy

Background:

  • Meniscal tears can lead to osteoarthritis, pain, swelling, and limited knee function if untreated.
  • Tears in the vascularized outer meniscus have a better prognosis for repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the inside-out surgical technique for meniscal repair using vertical mattress sutures.
  • To outline the arthroscopic assessment and procedural steps for meniscal repair.
  • To detail the postoperative rehabilitation protocol for patients undergoing meniscal repair.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopic assessment of tear location and pattern.
  • Medial or lateral meniscal repair incision.
  • Suture passage in a vertical mattress pattern.
  • Arthroscopic verification of tear reduction.

Main Results:

  • The inside-out technique with vertical mattress sutures effectively stabilizes meniscal tears for healing.
  • Postoperative protocol includes non-weight-bearing for six weeks, followed by gradual increase in motion and weight-bearing.
  • Patients can typically return to normal physical activity within four to six months.

Conclusions:

  • The inside-out technique is a viable surgical option for repairing vascularized meniscal tears.
  • Adherence to the structured postoperative rehabilitation is crucial for successful recovery and return to activity.
  • Early and appropriate surgical intervention for meniscal tears can prevent long-term complications like osteoarthritis.
