background and aims. wound dehiscence after lower third molar surgery extends the postoperative treatment period and may cause long-standing pain. the aim of this study was to compare wound dehiscence after removal of wisdom teeth in the most prevalent mandibular impaction (mesioangular class ib) by two different soft tissue flap designs. materials and methods. partially-erupted mandibular thir...

background: the late postoperative course for children with transposition of the great arteries (tga) with an intact ventricular septum (ivs) is very important because the coronary arteries may be at risk of damage during  arterial switch operation (aso). we sought to investigate left ventricular function in patients with tga/ivs by echocardiography. methods: from march 2011 to december 2012, t...

IS50R, the inverted repeat sequence of Tn5 which is responsible for supplying functions that promote and control Tn5 transposition, encodes two polypeptides that differ at their N terminus. Frameshift, in-frame deletion, nonsense, and missense mutations within the N terminus of protein 1 (which is not present in protein 2) were isolated and characterized. The properties of these mutations demon...

The published literature on tooth transposition includes only a few studies that have involved more than 50 subjects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of true maxillary tooth transposition and possible associated dental anomalies in a larger sample of children. The dental records and radiographs of children who had been diagnosed as having true maxillary tooth tran...

The bacterial transposon Tn5 encodes two proteins, the transposase and a related protein, the transposition inhibitor, whose relative abundance determines, in part, the frequency of Tn5 transposition. The synthesis of these proteins is programmed by a complex set of genetic regulatory elements. The host DNA methylation function, dam, inhibits transposase promoter recognition and indirectly enha...

The bacterial transposon Tn7 is distinguished by its ability to insert at a high frequency into a specific site in the Escherichia coli chromosome called attTn7. Tn7 insertion into attTn7 requires four Tn7-encoded transposition proteins: TnsA, TnsB, TnsC and TnsD. The selection of attTn7 is determined by TnsD, a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein. TnsD binds attTn7 and interacts with TnsABC,...

Four experienced hearing aid users were evaluated using a frequency transposition (TranSonic) hearing system. Following a trial period, the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Performance (APHAB) and a variety of speech audiometric measures were used to compare the frequency transposition fitting with each subject's conventional hearing aids. A single-subject study design with a series of repeat...

This paper addresses the problem of parallel transposition of large out-of-core arrays. Although algorithms for out-of-core matrix transposition have been widely studied, previously proposed algorithms have sought to minimize the number of I/O operations and the inmemory permutation time. We propose an algorithm that directly targets the improvement of overall transposition time. The I/O charac...

In classical "cut-and-paste" transposition, transposons are excised from donor sites and inserted at new locations. We have identified an alternative pathway in which transposition involves the 5' end of an intact Ac element and the 3' end of a nearby terminally deleted fAc (fractured Ac). The Ac and fAc elements are inserted at the maize p1 locus on chromosome 1s in the same orientation; the a...

same reading frame which regulate the transposition reaction: the transposase (Tnp), which is required for transposition, and an inhibitor of transposition (Inh). The inhibitor is a naturally occurring deletion variant of Tnp which lacks the N-terminal 55 amino acids. In this report, we present the purification of both the Tnp and Inh proteins and an analysis of their DNA binding properties. Pu...
