Prioritization at the place of the incident and calculation of mortality are leading factors for the final management, but all of them are obtained from living patients. When the autopsies are made there is no actual score system to guide the forensic scientists in their conclusions. Should all of the cadavers with traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been dead? Therefore, we aim to present a score system-brain trauma mortality score scale (BTMSS), aiming to evaluate postmortem the actual risk of mortality. We established a score scale, which could be used on cadavers for the evaluation of the events. Afterwards, we applied this score scale on the reports of the cadavers who suffered blunt force TBI for a 10-year period of time between 2007 and 2016. Thereafter, the results were processed with SPSS version 25. The outcome showed that there is a significant difference between the scores of the cadavers who died at the place of the incident and those who died in hospital thus approving that the BTMSS works well, as well as the importance of level I trauma center. Every score system could show something useful for the management of the TBIs. The solution and improvement in the outcome of the current study would be a level I trauma center with a qualified neurosurgical department.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of doctor helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and to understand the effect and improvement of doctor HEMS. We included TBI patients transferred by doctor HEMS of our hospital between February 2016 and December 2017. Basic characteristics, HEMS data, treatment and results data were analyzed retrospectively. We divided the patients into 3 groups as regarding severity of patient, relevance of treatment and transfer. We investigated the preventable trauma death rate (PTDR) of these groups to increase the reliability of the treatment outcome. TBI patients using doctor HEMS were indicated in 98 patients (18.7%) among 522 overall HEMS patients. The overall mortality was consisted in 21.4% and 43.2% was resulted in Glasgow outcome scale 4 or 5. The group of proper transport and treatment for severe TBI was consisted in 62.2% including 13 mortality cases and no preventable death. The group of delayed transport or treatment for severe TBI was 18.3% including 8 mortality cases and 1 preventable death. The PTDR of TBI after doctor HEMS was significantly lower than that of overall TBI (4.8% vs. 11.6%, =0.045). In patients with severe TBI, doctor HEMS can improve treatment outcomes by reducing treatment delay and unnecessary examinations and this result was evidenced that the PTDR were decreased significantly after doctor HEMS transport. The appropriate treatment is mandatory for real-time communication with the emergency doctor and treatment preparation of the trauma team during the HEMS transport.

Commonly, brain temperature is estimated from measurements of body temperature. However, temperature difference between brain and body is still controversy. The objective of this study is to know temperature gradient between the brain and axilla according to body temperature in the patient with brain injury. A total of 135 patients who had undergone cranial operation and had the thermal diffusion flow meter (TDF) insert were included in this analysis. The brain and axilla temperatures were measured simultaneously every 2 hours with TDF (2 kinds of devices SABER 2000 and Hemedex) and a mercury thermometer. Saved data were divided into 3 groups according to axillary temperature. Three groups are hypothermia group (less than 36.4°C), normothermia group (between 36.5°C and 37.5°C), and hyperthermia group (more than 37.6°C). The temperature difference between brain temperature and axillary temperature was 0.93±0.50°C in all data pairs, whereas it was 1.28±0.56°C in hypothermia, 0.87±0.43°C in normothermia, and 0.71±0.41°C in hyperthermia. The temperature difference was statistically significant between the hypothermia and normothermia groups ( =0.000), but not between the normothermia and hyperthermia group ( =0.201). This study show that brain temperature is significantly higher than the axillary temperature and hypothermia therapy is associated with large brain-axilla temperature gradients. If you do not have a special brain temperature measuring device, the results of this study will help predict brain temperature by measuring axillary temperature.

We aimed to determine whether bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BDMSCs) effectively attenuate the degeneration of human nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). Four NPC lines were obtained from 3 subjects who underwent spinal surgery for cervical disc herniation (n=1) or lumbar disc herniation (n=2). For co-culture wells without contact, BDMSCs and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) were seeded on tissue culture plates and maintained for 3 days. Senescence-associated β-gal (SA-β-gal) staining was represented as a percentage of the total number of stained cells (%). The cells with intracellular lipid droplets (LDs) were represented as the percentage of the number of cells with LDs. Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) secretion was measured at 450 nm, using a commercial kit, to analyze optical density. The ratio of cells stained with SA-β-gal to the total number of cells reduced significantly when co-cultured with BDMSCs and ADMSCs ( <0.001 vs. <0.001). The proportion of NPCs containing LDs was lower when co-cultured with BDMSCs than with ADMSCs ( <0.
