Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.2K
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...

Fractures: Bone Repair

5.2K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

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:

  • Biomaterials science
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Mechanical engineering

Background:

  • Surgical tendon-to-bone repair, particularly for rotator cuff tears, has high failure rates.
  • These failures are often linked to stress concentrations from the mechanical mismatch between tendon and bone.
  • Previous research focused on delaying failure onset, not resistance to failure progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To refine adhesive material properties for improved tendon-to-bone surgical attachment.
  • To investigate the fracture process and failure mechanisms in adhesively bonded repairs.
  • To identify optimal material candidates for enhanced surgical repair strength and durability.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized cohesive zone modeling to simulate adhesive fracture.
  • Incorporated physiologically relevant mode I and mode II adhesive fracture toughness values.
  • Predicted maximum displacement and failure strength of idealized tendon-to-bone repairs.

Main Results:

  • Repair failure occurred via excessive displacement for strong, compliant adhesives.
  • Stiffer adhesives exhibited failure through complete rupture below a critical shear strength.
  • An Ashby chart identified a narrow optimal material property range, including elastomers and porous solids.

Conclusions:

  • Material selection is critical for successful tendon-to-bone adhesive repair.
  • Optimal adhesives balance strength and compliance to prevent failure by displacement or rupture.
  • Elastomers and porous solids show promise for improving surgical outcomes in tendon repair.
