Predictive model integrating dynamic parameters for massive blood transfusion in major trauma patients: The Dynamic MBT score.

Background: Currently existing predictive models for massive blood transfusion in major trauma patients had limitations for sequential evaluation of patients and lack of dynamic parameters.

Objective: To establish a predictive model for predicting the need of massive blood transfusion major trauma patients, integrating dynamic parameters.

Design: Multi-center retrospective cohort study.

Outcome of severely injured trauma patients at a designated trauma centre in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Background: The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) of the People's Republic of China (PRC) has seen significant changes in its trauma service over the last ten years including the implementation of a regional trauma system. The author's institution is one of the five trauma centres designated in 2003. This article reports our initial clinical experience.

Self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold promotes the reconstruction of acutely injured brain.

Unlabelled: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) or brain surgery may cause extensive loss of cerebral parenchyma. However, no strategy for reconstruction has been clinically effective. Our previous study had shown that self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold (SAPNS) can bridge the injured spinal cord, elicit axon regeneration, and eventually promote locomotor functional recovery.
