Abstract:
Craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion is a special kind of compound injury, with low temperature, high permeability, high alkali, high salt content, and bacterial infection being the main causes. The injury is also characterized with complex damage mechanisms, difficulty to treat, and poor prognosis. At present, the damage mechanisms of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion are mainly studied by establishing the experimental animal models at the levels of tissue, cell, organelle, molecule, etc. However, the craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion is more complex than the simple onshore craniocerebral injury, therefore, a stable disease model is not easy to construct. Most researches on the specific injury mechanisms are relatively single and one-sided, with many different views in existence, and the damage mechanisms of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion have hitherto not been clear. The authors reviewed the research progress in the damage mechanisms of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion, in order to promote the in-depth study of the mechanism of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion and provide reference for its clinical treatment.
