Published: March 2022

The repair products of double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) are crucial for investigating the mechanism underlying DNA damage repair as well as evaluating the safety and efficiency of gene-editing; however, a comprehensively quantitative assay remains to be established. Here, we describe the step-by-step instructions of the primer extension-mediated sequencing (PEM-seq), followed by the framework of data processing and statistical analysis. PEM-seq presents a full spectrum of repair outcomes for both genome-editing-induced and endogenous DSBs in mouse and human cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this profile, please refer to Gan et al. (2021), Yin et al. (2019), Liu et al. (2021a), and Zhang et al. (2021).

PRMT1-Mediated Arginine Methylation Promotes Corneal Epithelial Wound Healing via Epigenetic Regulation of ANXA3.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Optometry and Visual Science, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China.

Purpose: Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is an integral constituent of numerous cellular processes. However, its role in corneal epithelial wound healing (CEWH) remains unclear. This study investigates the impact of PRMT1 on cellular mechanisms underlying corneal epithelial repair and its potential to improve wound healing outcomes.

Purpose: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in the tumorigenesis and progression of various cancers. However, the functional roles of lncRNAs in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the functional role of the lncRNA FAM111A-DT in PTC progression and the underlying mechanisms.

Background: Anterior component separation (ACS), or Ramirez component separation technique, is an established technique still used by surgeons to repair a ventral hernia. Compared with other ventral hernia repair techniques, recent studies about ACS show more postoperative complications like wound breakdown, wound infection, hematoma, skin necrosis, seroma, and recurrence. Our study aims to compare the ACS technique with the preservation perforator technique and verify if the perforator preservation technique can decrease postoperative complications.

Background And Purpose:  In contemporary medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA), non-lateral patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is not considered a contraindication. However, we still lack knowledge on the association of PFOA severity on patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) after mUKA. We aimed to examine the association between PFOA severity and PROM-score changes after mUKA.

Cervical Defect Reconstruction Using Preexpanded Neck Flaps Transferred in a Scarf-wrapping Manner.

J Craniofac Surg

January 2025

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Shijingshan, Beijing, P.R. China.

Objective: Cervical burn scar contractures can be repaired using many modalities, including skin grafts, pedicled and free flaps. Although preexpanded cervical flaps can provide a like-with-like reconstruction, a simple advancement transfer of the flaps often fails to achieve ideal outcomes. The authors aimed to introduce a method using the preexpanded cervical flaps transferred in a scarf-wrapping manner to repair neck defects.
