OBJECTIVE:
To explore the early changes in various liver function indicators in critically injured trauma patients assessed by intelligent calculation method, aiming to develop more advantageous diagnostic and treatment strategies for traumatic liver injury.
METHODS:
A retrospective study was conducted. Critically injured trauma patients [injury severity score (ISS) ≥ 16, age > 18 years old] admitted to the Emergency Medical Center of Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital from January 1, 2022, to December 1, 2023 were enrolled. ISS score and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) assessed by intelligent calculation method were collected upon patient admission to the emergency medical center. Trends in liver function indicators in fasting venous serum were analyzed at 6, 24 and 72 hours after admission, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin (ALB), total bilirubin (TBil), prothrombin time (PT). Patients were grouped based on APACHE II scores into those with APACHE II < 15 and APACHE II ≤ 15, and liver function indicators within 6 hours of admission were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS:
A total of 112 critically injured trauma patients were included, with 83 males and 29 females, an average age of (47.78±14.84) years old. The median ISS score was 21.0 (18.0, 26.0). The most common cause of injury for critically injured trauma patients was road traffic accidents (68 cases, accounting for 60.71%), followed by falls from heights, compression injuries, heavy object injuries, knife stabs, and explosion injuries. The most common injured areas was the limbs and pelvis (97 cases, accounting for 86.61%), followed by chest injuries, surface skin and soft tissue injuries, abdominal and pelvic organ injuries, head injuries, and facial injuries. The proportion of elevated LDH, AST, and ALT within 6 hours of admission was 77.68%, 79.46%, and 52.68%, respectively, while the proportion of decreased ALB was 75.89%, the abnormal rates of ALP, GGT, TBil, and PT were all below 50%. The ALT and AST levels of patients at 24 hours and 72 hours after admission were significantly lower than those at 6 hours after admission [ALT (U/L): 37.0 (22.0, 66.0), 31.0 (21.2, 52.0) vs. 41.0 (25.0, 71.0), AST (U/L): 55.5 (30.0, 93.5), 40.0 (27.0, 63.2) vs. 69.5 (39.0, 130.8), all P < 0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in ISS score between APACHE II > 15 group (45 cases) and APACHE II ≤ 15 group [67 cases; 21.0 (18.5, 26.5) vs. 20.0 (17.0, 22.0), P > 0.05]. Nevertheless, compared with patients with APACHE II ≤ 15, patients with APACHE II > 15 have a higher abnormality rate of ALT and AST within 6 hours of admission [ALT abnormal rate: 66.44% (29/45) vs. 44.78% (30/67), AST abnormal rate: 93.33% (42/45) vs. 70.15% (47/67), both P < 0.05], and the levels of ALT and AST were higher [ALT (U/L): 56.0 (30.0, 121.0) vs. 35.0 (21.0, 69.0), AST (U/L): 87.0 (48.0, 233.0) vs. 52.0 (31.0, 117.0), both P < 0.05].
CONCLUSIONS
Severe trauma patients frequently exhibit a high incidence of reversible early liver function impairment. Based on intelligent calculation method, the utilization of both the ISS and APACHE II scores demonstrates a distinct advantage in the assessment of their early liver injury.

Objective:To initially investigate the function of neuronal pentraxin 1(NPTX1)gene on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(hBMSCs).Methods:hBMSCs were induced to undergo osteogenic differentiation,and then RNA was collected at different time points,namely 0,3,7,10 and 14 d.The mRNA expression levels of key genes related with osteogenic differen-tiation,including runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),osteocalcin(OCN),and NPTX1,were detected on the basis of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qPCR)technology.In order to establish a stable NPTX1-knockdown hBMSCs cell line,NPTX1 shRNA lentivirus was constructed and used to infect hBMSCs.ALP staining,alizarin red(AR)staining,and qPCR were employed to assess the impact of NPTX1-knockdown on the osteogenic differentiation ability of hBMSCs.Results:The results showed that during the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs in vitro,the mRNA expression levels of osteogenic genes RUNX2,ALP and OCN significantly increased compared with 0 d,while NPTX1 expression decreased markedly(P<0.01)as the osteogenic induction period exten-ded.At 72 h post-infection with lentivirus,the result of qPCR indicated that the knockdown efficiency of NPTX1 was over 60%.After knocking down NPTX1 in hBMSCs,RNA was extracted from both the NPTX1-knockdown group(shNPTX1 group)and the control group(shNC group)cultured in regular proliferation medium.The results of qPCR showed that the expression levels of osteogenic-related genes RUNX2 and osterix(OSX)were significantly higher in the shNPTX1 group compared with the shNC group(P<0.01).ALP staining revealed a significantly deeper coloration in the shNPTX1 group than in the shNC group at the end of 7 d of osteogenic induction.AR staining demonstrated a marked increase in mineralized nodules in the shNPTX1 group compared with the shNC group at the end of 14 d of osteogenic induction.Conclusion:NPTX1 exerts a modulatory role in the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs,and its knockdown has been found to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs.This finding implies that NPTX1 could potentially serve as a therapeutic target for the treatment of osteogenic abnormalities,including osteoporosis.
