Introduction: In multiple trauma patients, the occurrence of trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is closely associated with tissue damage and coagulation function abnormalities in the pathophysiological process.
Methods: This study established a multiple trauma and shock model in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and comprehensively utilized histological staining and radiographic imaging techniques to observe injuries in the intestine, liver, skeletal muscles, and bones. Monitoring activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), platelet (PLT) count, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and other physiological indicators revealed time-dependent alterations in coagulation function and physiological indicators. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) measurements of inflammatory factors Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial injury marker (Syndecan-1) were also conducted.
Results: Experimental results demonstrated significant changes in tissue structure after multiple traumas, although widespread necrosis or hemorrhagic lesions were not observed. There were time-dependent alterations in coagulation function and physiological indicators. ELISA measurements showed a strong positive correlation between the significant decrease in PLT count and the increase in TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations.
Discussion: The study provides crucial information for the early diagnosis and treatment of TIC. The findings suggest that structured monitoring of coagulation and inflammatory indicators can help in understanding the pathophysiological changes and aid in the management of TIC in multiple trauma patients.

The association between childhood trauma (CT), stressful life events (SLE) and the onset and severity of major depressive disorder (MDD) has not been extensively studied. This study aimed to investigate the separate and combined association of CT and SLE with the onset and severity of MDD. A total of 503 patients with MDD and 503 controls were included.

Background: The objective of this report is to present a case of two cervical spine artificial discs (Bryan Cervical Disk) that completely disappeared within 6 months as a result of a high-energy trauma more than 10 years after the initial surgery. Implant dislocation is a known complication in artificial cervical disc replacement. However, this report presents the case of an exceptional migration path with esophageal ingrowth and rectal excretion, not only for one artificial disc but for two at different times It highlights the need for long-term follow-up examinations after artificial cervical disc arthroplasty (ACDA).

Introduction: Numerous orthopaedic procedures including dynamic hip screw plating and various osteotomies require placement of a reference guide pin or K wire to direct bone cuts or for drilling screw holes. Appropriate positioning of these wires is a critical component of surgery. Irrespective of whether one is a seasoned surgeon or an apprentice, these wires often need repositioning and readjustment.

: Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are critical components in regulating the immune statuses of the tumor microenvironments. Although TAM has been intensively studied, it is unclear how mitochondrial proteins such as AGK regulate the TAMs' function. : We investigated the AGK function in TAMs using macrophage-specific deficient mice with B16 and LLC syngeneic tumor models.

Introduction: The well-being of trauma-affected children and youth in residential care settings is contingent upon the well-being of the workers who care for them, who are increasingly expected to provide care in a trauma-informed manner. The well-being of residential care workers (RCWs) may be impacted by their own histories of adversity, their capacity individually and collectively to navigate to resources that sustain their well-being (resilience), and current perceptions of their professional quality of life.
Objective: This study aimed to fill a research gap by canvassing the perspectives of RCWs to determine what and how they need to be supported in their work.
