The role of the RAD57 gene in double-strand gap (DSG) repair has been examined. The repair of a linearized plasmid, bearing a DSG, has been analyzed in a rad57-1 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. For effective rejoining of the ends of plasmid DNA in the rad57 mutant the sequence of chromosomal DNA homologous to the DSG region is required. However, DSG repair (restoration of plasmid circularity) in rad57 cells is not accompanied by the recovery of DSGs. The DSG repair, which depends on an homologous chromosomal DNA sequence, requires the cohesive ends of DSGs. The non-cohesive-ended DSGs are repaired in rad57 cells by a pathway independent of the homologous recombination between chromosomal and plasmid DNA. We presume that the rad57-1 mutation is connected with the inhibition of DNA repair synthesis, required for filling the DSG. This situation produces a condition of "homology-dependent ligation", the alternative minor mechanism of recombinational DSG repair, that takes place in mutant cells. A molecular model for "homology-dependent ligation" in rad57 cells is proposed.

This study investigated the effects of 8,12-dimethoxysanguinarine (DSG) from Eomecon chionantha Hance on the malignant biological activity of breast cancer cells. RNA-sequencing measure analysis revealed that metastasis-related genes were significantly downregulated in DSG-treated MCF-7 cells. DSG significantly inhibits the migration ability in MCF-7 cells.

Background: The biological activities of sulfated polysaccharides (SP) are well-documented, especially regarding wound healing. Sulfated galactan (SG), a type of SP extracted from the red seaweed , has been identified as having multiple therapeutic properties related to its wound healing capacity. Recent research indicates that degraded SG (DSG) from , when combined with octanoyl ester (DSGO), can improve wound healing in fibroblasts.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global medical concern and has a lasting impact on brain activity with high risks of mortality. Current treatments are inadequate for repairing damaged brain cells or correcting cognitive and behavioral disabilities in TBI patients. Mounting evidence links TBI to the activation of the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) signaling in the brain.

Objective: To determine the relationship between volume of cases and failure-to-rescue (FTR) rate after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) across the United States.
Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons adult cardiac surgery database was used to review outcomes of surgery after ATAAD between June 2017 and December 2021. Mixed-effect models and restricted cubic splines were used to determine the risk-adjusted relationships between ATAAD average volume and FTR rate.

Background: In the Study of Tranexamic Acid During Air and Ground Prehospital Transport (STAAMP) Trial, prehospital tranexamic acid (TXA) was associated with lower mortality in specific patient subgroups. The underlying mechanisms responsible for a TXA benefit remain incompletely characterized. We hypothesized that TXA may mitigate endothelial injury and sought to assess whether TXA was associated with decreased endothelial or tissue damage markers among all patients enrolled in the STAAMP Trial.
