Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of platelets (PLT) and white blood cells (WBC) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and discuss its clinical significance. Methods The number of PLT and WBC were examined in 63 patients with TBI by using cytoanalyze and also analyzed together with Glasgow Outcome Scale and concurrent infection, in the meantime, enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent was used to investigate concentration changes of C reactive protein (CRP) and thrombospondin 1 (TSPI) and analyze the correlation between CRP and TSP1. Results The number of WBC in all pa-tients, whether concurred with infection or not, was significantly increased within 24 hours after TBI (P < 0.01), with no statistical difference between patients without infection at day 4 and normal patients (P >0.05). However, the number of WBC was decreased to below 10 × 109/L in patients without infec-tion, which was significantly higher than that in normal patients (P < 0.05). In patients with infection and unfavorable prognosis, the number of WBC was increased again ay days 7-14, whereas that of PLT rose significantly at days 14-21 (P <0. 01). The concentration of TSPI was positively correlated with that of CRP (r = 0.720, P < 0.01). Conclusions Monitoring the dynamic changes of PLT and WBC is promising. The change of WBC at day 4 post injury is a key indicator to provide evidences of prophylactic antibiotic usage. Much attention should be paid to the dynamic change of PLT at days 14-21 post injury so as to evaluate the condition of hypercoagulability that can be potentially caused by inflammation response. Secondary increase of WBC and later increase, of PLT may affect prognosis of the patients. TSP1 and CRP may participate in thrombosis formation induced by inflammation.

Objective To study the bone turnover and its related molecular mechanism in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Methods Of 30 male SD rats studied, 15 were induced diabetics by intravenous injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg)and fed for 8 weeks. After the sacrifice of both the diabetic and control groups, serum Ca, P, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin were determined, and 24 h urinary Ca and urinary cross-linked N-telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen (NTx)and creatinine (Cr)ratio were also determined. The left tibia was dissected for bone histomorphometry analysis. Right femur and lumbar vertebrae (L1-L4) were reserved for bone mineral density (BMD) determination. The right tibia was separated for the study of bone tissue RANKL/osteoprotegerin, Core binding factor 1 (Cbfa1) ,osterix and osteocalcin mRNA level which was performed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay. Results No significant difference was found in serum Ca, P, and ALP levels between 2 groups of rats. ST-Z-induced diabetic rats were characterized by extreme hyperglycemia, marked weight loss, polyuria, and hypercalciuria. A low-turnover osteopenia was evidenced in diabetic rats by decreased BMD in both femur [(0. 099±0.013) vs (0. 139 ± 0.013 g/cm~3) , P < 0.01] and lumbar vertebrae [(0. 107±0.011)vs (0. 149±0.009) g/cm~3, P<0.01] , reduced serum osteoealcin level [a marker of formation, (3.03±0.52) vs (6. 18±0.71) ng/ml ,P<0. 01]) ,decreased urine NTx/Cr ratio [(5. 67±0.86) vs (5.23±0.98) nmol/g Cr, P<0. 05], decreased trabeeular volume and thickness, and reduced bone label surface and bone formation rate [(0. 44±0. 11) vs (0. 78±0. 14) μm/d,P<0. 01] by bone dynamic study. The RANKL/ osteoprotegerin [(0.57±0.11)vs (0.89±0.13) ,P<0.01] ,osterix [(1.93×10~(-4)±0.65×10(~-4))vs (4.19×10~(-4)± 0.71×10~(-4)) ,P<0.01] ,Cbfa1 [(26.68×10~(-4)±6.53×10~(-4))vs (37.21×10~(-4)±7.14×10~(-4)) ,P<0.01] ,and osteocalcin [(2.25×10~(-4)±1.19×10~(-4))vs (3.43×10~(-4)±1.63×10~(-4)) ,P<0.01] mRNA expressions were declined in the bone tissue of the tibia in the ST-Z-induced diabetic rats, as compared with the control. Conclusion A low-turnover osteopenia is evidenced in STZ-induced diabetic rats by significant decrease of both osteoclastic marker(RANKL/ osteoprotegerin)and osteoblastic marker (osterix ,Cbfa1 ,osteocalcin)mRNA levels in tibia.
