Myringoplasty perforation and a small part should also extend over the posterior canal wall. The tympanomeatal flap is then replaced. The temporal fascia is harvested. An incision is made to raise medial meatal skin with tympanic membrane epithelium. The graft is placed on the outer surface of the tympanic membrane and a slit is made to tuck it under the handle of malleus. The ear is packed with gelfoam and antibiotics, and the incision is closed. Finally mastoid dressing is performed. Myringoplasty Myringoplasty is the closure of the perforation of pars tensa of the tympanic membrane. When myringoplasty is combined with
Plasma membrane H+-ATPase Plasma membrane H+-ATPase This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides to catalyse transmembrane movement of substances. To be specific, the protein is a part of the P-type ATPase family. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP phosphohydrolase (-exporting). -exporting ATPase is also known as proton ATPase or more simply proton pump. Other names in common use include proton-translocating ATPase, yeast plasma membrane -ATPase, plant plasma membrane -ATPase, yeast plasma membrane ATPase, plant plasma membrane ATPase, and ATP phosphohydrolase. The yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) enzyme is encoded by the gene Pma1 and hence
