Mismatch Repair

6.5K
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.

Overview of DNA Repair

33.6K
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 Repair01:54

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.

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

10.3K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Summary

Continuous suture repair for cleft palate is faster and uses fewer materials than traditional interrupted sutures. This technique is effective and cost-efficient for palate repair surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Cleft Palate Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Cleft palate is a common congenital condition requiring surgical repair.
  • Traditional repair uses interrupted sutures between 6-18 months for nasal and oral layer closure.
  • Continuous sutures are standard in other surgical fields but not reported for cleft palate repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of continuous versus interrupted suture techniques in cleft palate repair.
  • To evaluate operative time and material usage.
  • To assess postoperative outcomes like wound dehiscence and fistula formation.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 152 patients over 3 years at Clapp Hospital Lahore.
  • Patients were divided into two groups: continuous suture technique (84 patients) and interrupted suture technique (68 patients).
  • Operative parameters (duration, suture material) and postoperative outcomes were compared.

Main Results:

  • Continuous closure (Group A) had a mean nasal layer closure time of 7.08 minutes versus 11.50 minutes for interrupted (Group B).
  • The continuous technique required significantly fewer sutures (2.12) compared to the interrupted technique (4.59) (P < 0.05).
  • No significant differences were observed in postoperative wound dehiscence or fistula formation between the groups.

Conclusions:

  • Continuous suture technique is a viable and effective method for cleft palate repair.
  • This technique offers advantages in terms of time efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
  • The findings support the adoption of continuous sutures in palate repair surgery.
