To analyze the effects of hemocoagulase agkistrodon (HCA) on the coagulation status of healthy people and traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients . A total of 10 TBI patients were enrolled from December 2018 to June 2019,and 24 age and sex matched healthy controls were also enrolled. Clinical and pathological data, blood samples of all subjects were collected. Different gradient concentrations of HCA were added to the blood samples which were detected by thromboelastography, and the R value, K value, α angle and MA value of thromboelastography parameters between the two groups were analyzed to explore the effect of HCA on the coagulation status of patients with TBI. With the increase of HCA concentration in blood samples, the R and K values gradually increased, and the α angles and MA values gradually decreased in both TBI patients group which included 7 males and 3 females, with an median age of 33 (28-39) years old and healthy control group which included 11 males and 13 females, with an median age of 33 (23-49) years old. The differences in the R values, K values, α angles, and MA values of different concentration gradients were statistically significant in both healthy control group and TBI patients group (χ were 109.80, 131.28, 185.47, 165.97 and 54.92, 75.60, 80.12, 59.25, respectively, all <0.001). The differences between R values after adding HCA of 0-0.105 U/ml in the healthy group were statistically significant (=0.025), but K values, α angles and MA values were not statistically significant ( values were 0.275, 0.206 and 0.330, respectively); the R values of the TBI patients group were not statistically significant after adding HCA of 0 to 0.105 U/ml (=0.976), and the K values, α angles, and MA values were statistically significant ( values were 0.047, 0.041, and 0.034, respectively).The R values of the healthy control group, the TBI patients group, and the overall data were significantly positively correlated with the HCA dose ( values were 0.552、0.700、0.420, respectively, <0.001), the K values were significantly positively correlated with the HCA dose ( values were 0.726、0.861、0.750, respectively, <0.001), the α angles were significantly negatively correlated with the HCA dose ( values were -0.815、-0.876、-0.807, respectively, <0.001) and the MA values were significantly negatively correlated with the HCA dose ( values were -0.757、-0.710、-0.729, respectively, <0.001). HCA does not aggravate the procoagulant state of blood in healthy people and TBI patients, and with the increase of HCA concentration in blood, the blood samples of both groups show a tendency to decrease the coagulation ability.

Background: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the most common nonheritable causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is lack of effective treatment for both AD and TBI. We posit that network-based integration of multi-omics and endophenotype disease module coupled with large real-world patient data analysis of electronic health records (EHR) can help identify repurposable drug candidates for the treatment of TBI and AD.

Background: Seizures are a common co-morbidity of dementia and are associated with accelerated cognitive decline. However, the impact of recurrent versus remote seizures on mortality outcomes in people with dementia (PWD) has not been studied. The purpose of our study is to fill this knowledge gap.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts normal brain tissue and functions, leading to high mortality and disability. Severe TBI (sTBI) causes prolonged cognitive, functional, and multi-organ dysfunction. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) after sTBI can induce abnormalities in multiple organ systems, contributing to cardiovascular dysregulation and increased mortality.

Background: Propofol is one of the most used intravenous anesthetic agents in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients undergoing emergency neurosurgical procedures. Despite being efficacious, its administration is associated with dose-related adverse effects. The use of adjuvants along with propofol aids in limiting its consumption, thereby mitigating the side effects related to propofol usage.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains the predominant cause of mortality and disability among the pediatric population. At present, there are no radiation-free, simple, and cost-effective tools available to assess the severity and prognosis of pediatric TBI. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophilto-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) serve as inflammatory biomarkers that may assist in predicting the outcome of pediatric TBI.
