2023
The electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) is a biochemical procedure used to elucidate binding between proteins and nucleic acids. In this assay a radiolabeled nucleic acid and test protein are mixed. Binding is determined via gel electrophoresis which separates components based on mass, charge, and conformation. This video shows the concepts of EMSA and a general procedure, including gel and protein preparation, binding, electrophoresis, and detection. Applications covered in this video...

FAQs
The useful plane is the relatively avascular tissue plane behind the colon. After the lateral peritoneal reflection is incised, dissection in this plane can separate the bowel from its attachments while limiting unnecessary disruption of surrounding structures. This anatomical route is important because it creates mobility without making the colon, mesentery, or adjacent organs the target of dissection.
Safe mobilization depends on maintaining awareness of the mesentery, blood vessels, ureters, and adjacent organs throughout dissection. Protecting these structures helps preserve the tissues surrounding the released colon while the surgeon gains movement and exposure. Their preservation guides how the lateral reflections are opened and how the plane behind the colon is followed during abdominal surgery.
Colonic mobilization can provide additional length and reach, allowing bowel to be repositioned more safely during reconstruction. That increased mobility may reduce tension on reconstructed bowel after colorectal resection or anastomosis and can support stoma creation. Its value is therefore mechanical as well as visual, because improved reach helps the surgeon perform the intended reconstruction with better exposure.
The lateral peritoneal reflections form the attachments that must be incised to begin freeing the selected colonic segment. Opening them provides access to the relatively avascular plane behind the colon, where further dissection can proceed. This sequence connects the initial release of the bowel to the later gains in mobility, reach, and operative exposure.
The maneuver may support several abdominal procedures, including colorectal resection, anastomosis, and stoma creation. In each setting, freeing the relevant bowel segment can improve access and provide the length needed to position it for the planned operation. The same principles of controlled dissection and protection of nearby structures remain important regardless of the reconstruction being performed.
Colonic mobilization may also be relevant when surgeons manage some traumatic or obstructive conditions. In these situations, releasing the colon can improve exposure and allow the bowel to be repositioned while the operative team protects the mesentery, blood vessels, ureters, and adjacent organs. Its role depends on whether additional reach and access are needed to address the abdominal problem.
