Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

22.2K
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...

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:

Fractures: Bone Repair

3.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Female Genital Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Surgical Deformity Classification

Background:

  • The popularity of the "Barbie" labia minora shape has led to increased edge labiaplasty procedures.
  • Excessive resection during labiaplasty can result in the
  • Barbie deformity,
  • characterized by morphologic deformities and functional issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To classify the
  • Barbie deformity
  • and establish a repair algorithm for surgical management.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical interventions for
  • Barbie deformity
  • Meta_Description: Explore surgical repair of "Barbie deformity" in labiaplasty, improving appearance and function. Discover classification and treatment options.

Main Methods:

  • Classified 216 patients with "Barbie deformity" into three grades based on severity.
  • Performed repair operations on 189 sides using diverse techniques including edge trimming, wedge excision, and flap reconstructions.
  • Assessed surgical outcomes via questionnaires and compared psychological distress and self-esteem pre- and post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • Identified 338 affected sides, with 158 grade I, 106 grade II, and 74 grade III deformities.
  • Achieved significant improvements: 96.6% in genital appearance, 74.2% in resolving discomfort, and 86.2% overall satisfaction.
  • Demonstrated significant improvements in psychological distress and self-esteem scores post-repair.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical repair of the "Barbie deformity" effectively restores genital appearance and mucosal function.
  • Prioritizing prevention of the "Barbie deformity" is crucial in edge labiaplasty procedures.
  • The study provides a classification and repair algorithm to guide surgical decision-making.
