Objective To set up and to evaluate an acute closed brain injury model in rats. Methods The acute closed brain injury was produced in rats by using an impactor consisting of a stand, a guide tube, a weight and a footplate. Ninetysix SD rats were divided into a control group(n＝32, no impact), a mild injury group(n＝32, impact once at force level of 400 g·cm) and a severe injury group(n＝32, impact once at force level of 800 g·cm) to elucidate the physiological responses, the pathophysiological changes and brain edema after brain injury at different injury levels. Results In the mild injury group and the severe injury group, a sudden rise or reduction of blood pressure, deep and fast breath apnea, and pain reflects inhibition were observed. The responses were more obvious in the severe injury group than in the mild injury group. The water content of the brain increased after 6 hours of injury. The pathological contusion and edema of brain were noted or above the impact force level of 800 g·cm. When the impact force rose to or over 1200g·cm, the animals died of persistent apnea mostly. Conclusion Although the established closed brain injury model with different biomechanical mechanisms as the clinical brain injury, it is in conformity with pathological changes and pathophysiological characteristics of acute clinical brain injury, it can be utilized extensively because of its convenient and practice.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of large trauma craniotomy on severe traumatic brain injury. MethodsA total of 132 cases of severe traumatic brain injury adopted large trauma craniotomy between July 2008 and August 2013, and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsAccording to the results of GOS assessment at discharge, 67 patients (50.75%) were satisfied, 26 (19.70%) were mildly disable, 10 (7.58%) were severely disable, 12 (9.09%) were in vegetative state, and 17 (12.88%) were dead. ConclusionCorrect use of large trauma craniotomy on severe brain injury cases will help to improve the treatment outcome, reduce complications and improve quality of survival.
ObjectiveTo explore a method of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology for preparation of personalized rat brain tissue cavity scaffolds so as to lay the foundation for the repair of traumatic brain injury (TBI) with tissue engineered customized cavity scaffolds. MethodsFive male Sprague Dawley rats[weighing (300±10) g] were induced to TBI models by electric controlled cortical impactor. Mimics software was used to reconstruct the surface profile of the damaged cavity based on the MRI data, computer aided design to construct the internal structure. Then collagen-chitosan composite was prepared for 3D bioprinter of bionic brain cavity scaffold. ResultsMRI scans showed the changes of brain tissue injury in the injured side, and the position of the cavity was limited to the right side of the rat brain cortex. The 3D model of personalized cavity containing the internal structure was successfully constructed, and cavity scaffolds were prepared by 3D printing technology. The external contour of cavity scaffolds was similar to that of the injured zone in the rat TBI; the inner positive crossing structure arranged in order, and the pore connectivity was good. ConclusionCombined with 3D reconstruction based on MRI data, the appearance of cavity scaffolds by 3D printing technology is similar to that of injured cavity of rat brain tissue, and internal positive cross structure can simulate the topological structure of the extracellular matrix, and printing materials are collagen-chitosan complexes having good biocompatibility, so it will provide a new method for customized cavity scaffolds to repair brain tissue cavity after TBI.
Objective To explore the current status and changing trends of the disease burden of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in China from 1990 to 2023, and to quantitatively assess the impact of different influencing factors on this disease burden, thereby providing references for the prevention of TBI. Methods Based on the 2023 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, indicators including incidence and years lived with disability (YLDs) were used to analyze the status and changing trends of TBI disease burden in China from 1990 to 2023. Additionally, the decomposition method established by Gupta was adopted to quantify the effects of population growth, population aging, age-specific incidence rate, and disease severity on YLDs. ResultsFrom 1990 to 2023, the age-standardized incidence rate and YLD rate of TBI in China showed an overall upward trend, with a significant downward trend between 2015 and 2020, followed by a resumption of upward trend after 2020. The disease burden of TBI in males was higher than that in females, with a larger increase amplitude. The elderly population had higher TBI incidence rate and YLD rate, also with a larger upward amplitude. Falls were the main cause of TBI in China, and the changing trend of the disease burden caused by falls was consistent with the overall trend of TBI disease burden; meanwhile, the elderly population bore a relatively high disease burden from falls. Taking 1990 as the baseline, the growth rates of YLDs in males and females in 2023 were 101.54% and 101.40%, respectively. For males, the proportions of YLDs growth attributed to population growth, population aging, age-specific incidence rate, and disease severity were 26.91%, 49.62%, 37.74%, and –12.73%, respectively; for females, the corresponding proportions were 28.85%, 57.69%, 27.65%, and –12.79%. ConclusionFrom 1990 to 2023, population aging had a significant impact on the disease burden of TBI in China. Strengthening the prevention and control of falls and paying close attention to males and the elderly population should be the key focuses of TBI prevention and control work in China in the future.
