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.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores the use of drones (UAVs) combined with artificial intelligence (AI) to improve rapid triage processes after mass-casualty incidents (MCIs), aiming to enhance emergency response efficiency.
  • - Researchers developed an intelligent triage system utilizing AI algorithms, OpenPose and YOLO, tested in a simulated MCI scene with volunteer actors, incorporating real-time data transmission via 5G.
  • - Results indicated that the new system effectively recognized seven key postures for triage, suggesting it could serve as an innovative alternative method in emergency rescue scenarios.

Hyaluronic acid and chitosan-based injectable and self-healing hydrogel with inherent antibacterial and antioxidant bioactivities.

Int J Biol Macromol

February 2023

College of Bioresources Chemical and Materials Engineering, National Demonstration Center for Experimental Light Chemistry Engineering Education, Shaanxi University of Science & Technology, Xi'an, Shaanxi 710021, PR China. Electronic address:

Injectable dressings offering intrinsic antibacterial activity and antioxidation are required, because persistent bacterial infection and oxidative damage are common issues associated with chronic non-healing wounds. Herein, a versatile QCS-l-TA-l-OHA hydrogel is fabricated using ubiquitous nature derived biological macromolecules, quaternized chitosan (QCS), tannic acid (TA) and oxidant hyaluronic acid (OHA), driving by multiple dynamic interactions under physiological conditions. The hydrogel can serve as multiple functional wound dress with injectable and self-healing capabilities coupling with attractive antibacterial activity and antioxidation.
