Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to validate various chest trauma scoring systems for classifying and treating polytrauma patients by analyzing data from 1,038 individuals.
  • It found that complications were more common in older patients, particularly those with head trauma, as indicated by poorer Glasgow Coma Scale scores and more severe rib fractures.
  • The Thoracic Trauma Severity Score (TTSS) was the most predictive scoring system, but overall, existing chest trauma scoring systems, including TTSS, are not suitable for clinical use in polytrauma cases, necessitating further revisions.

Reprogramming errors, which appear frequently in cloned animals, are reflected by aberrant gene expression. We previously reported the aberrant expression of TIMP-2 and PBEF in cloned placenta and differential expression of PBEF genes during pregnancy. To examine the epigenetic modifications that regulate dynamic gene expression in developing placentae, we herein analyzed the mRNA and protein expression levels of PBEF and TIMP-2 in the placentae of normal mice during pregnancy and then examined potential correlations with epigenetic modifications.
