Objective To evaluate the value of plasma soluble urokinase?type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR)and D?dimer for assessing disease severity and prognosis in patients with traumatic brain injury(TBI). Methods A serial of 112 patients with traumatic brain injury admired to our hospital were divided into mild TBI (GCS score 13~15),moderate TBI(GCS score 9~12)and severe TBI(GCS score 3~8). The levels of plasma suPAR and D?dimer were monitored within 24 h after patient admission. Results The levels of suPAR and D?di?mer in TBI group were obviously higher than those in the control group(15.86±7.33 vs 2.79 ± 0.69,P<0.01;3.50 ± 2.78 vs 24 ± 0.15,P<0.01). The levels of suPAR and D?dimer in the severe TBI group were also obviously high?er than those in the moderate TBI group(P<0.05). Plasma suPAR levels and GCS score had significant negative correlation(r =- 0.854,P < 0.01). D?dimer levels and GCS score showed a negative correlation(r =- 0.738, P < 0.01). Plasma suPAR and D ? dimer was positively correlated(r = 0.753,P < 0.01). The area under the curve of D?dimer(AUC)was larger,0.854,95%CI 0.763~0.945;the AUC of suPAR was 0.801,95%CI 0.698~0.903. Conclusion Higher levels of suPAR and D?dimer in TBI patients is not only relevant to the injury sever?ity ,but also closely to the prognosis.

BACKGROUND:Ti6Al4V is a titanium aloy that is widely used in human joint replacement, but its modulus of elasticity is greater than human bone, resulting in the bad stability of the prosthesis. Ti35Nb3Zr2Ta, a new βtitanium aloy, has a lower modulus of elasticity, and maybe becomes a new-generation human joint prosthesis material that has a better biocompatibility. OBJECTIVE:To study the biocompatibility of Ti35Nb3Zr2Ta in prosthesis. METHODS:Wanfang, CNKI and PubMed databases were retrieved using a computer with “new β titanium;prosthesis; biocompatible” as keywords, and the retrieval time ranged from 2010 to 2015. Articles focusing on current application status for medical prosthesis materials and the biocompatibility of Ti35Nb3Zr2Ta in prosthesis were selected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with Ti6Al4V, Ti35Nb3Zr2Ta has higher surface roughness and smaler surface contact angle; the alkaline phosphatase activity and amount of calcium deposits in osteoblasts cultured at Ti35Nb3Zr2Ta is significantly higher than that at Ti6Al4V. Ti35Nb3Zr2Ta has good biocompatibility, and can be considered to be widely used as joint prosthesis material further.
