Generation of Straight or Branched Actin Filaments
0 Views •
2023
The straight or branched structure formation of actin filaments is controlled by nucleating proteins such as the formins and Arp2/3 complex. Formin-mediated assembly results in straight filaments, whereas Arp2/3 protein complex-mediated assembly results in branched actin filaments. Arp2/3 Complex Arp2/3 complex is a seven-subunit complex consisting of two proteins similar to actin- Arp2 and Arp3, and five other subunits that help keep Arp2 and Arp3 inactive. When required, the complex is...

Q Suture Technique: A Suturing Technique to Reduce Gap Formation and Increase Tensile Strength in Tendon Repair

2025
In this video, we demonstrate suturing techniques — core suture and Q suture — to repair the foot flexor tendon in an ex vivo porcine model. Q sutures enhance the strength of the core suture in tendon repair and decrease gapping at the tendon repair site.

To circumvent the difficulty in completing the anastomosis of the pancreatic duct and jejunal mucosa under laparoscopy for patients with a small pancreatic duct and soft and fragile pancreatic tissue, we introduce a reverse needle continuous suture technique for laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy of the pancreatic duct and jejunal mucosa.

Source: Julianna Jung, MD, FACEP, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Maryland, USA For unstable patients requiring urgent administration of medications, fluids, or blood products, establishing vascular access quickly is essential. However, there are many factors that can complicate placement of a peripheral intravenous cannula (PIV), and it is extremely common for PIV attempts to fail. PIV placement may be technically challenging in small...

FAQs
Its rigid, uncurved form supports a predictable needle path when the operator can approach the tissue directly. Hand guidance allows the needle to pass through opposing margins without the rotational movement required for a curved needle held with an instrument. This direct control can simplify placement and support rapid closure at superficial or otherwise accessible sites.
Accurate alignment brings the tissue margins together rather than leaving them offset, while even tension helps maintain contact along the closure. Excessive or uneven pull can contribute to gaping or an unstable line of approximation. Consequently, the operator must balance margin positioning and tension before securing the knots to promote stable healing.
The main distinction is the direction of needle travel and how the operator controls it. A straight needle follows a direct trajectory and is typically guided by hand, whereas a curved needle is rotated through tissue with a needle holder. Straight-needle suturing therefore favors sites where the complete passage is directly accessible rather than obstructed.
The operator first positions the tissue margins so they can be brought into accurate alignment. The rigid needle then passes through one margin and the opposing margin along a straight path. After the tissue edges are approximated, the suture is secured with a knot, using enough tension to maintain closure without disturbing alignment.
This approach is most relevant when the needle path can be reached directly and the tissue is sufficiently accessible for hand-guided placement. Superficial skin wounds and other accessible surgical sites fit these conditions because the operator can see and control the passage. Its usefulness decreases when the closure site does not permit a straightforward trajectory.
An effective closure leaves the tissue edges aligned, approximated, and supported by even tension. Secure knots help maintain that position after placement, while a stable closure reduces the likelihood of visible gaping during healing. These features provide practical indicators that the suturing method has achieved its intended mechanical purpose at the wound or surgical site.
