The Research for New Clinical Diagnostic Strategy of Specific Biomarkers for Traumatic Brain Injury

August 7, 2023 updated by: Baiyun Liu
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common type of nerve injury and it severely endangers the public health. It is necessary to accurately measure the early neurological function of brain injury for monitoring its prognosis and therapeutic interventions. Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) and Computed Tomography (CT) are often used to diagnose the severity of TBI. However, GCS has its drawbacks in the observation of prognosis, because it is interfered by analgesics, sedatives and relaxants in the evaluation of neurological function. CT may miss the diagnosis of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and the monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP). Secondary injuries after TBI, such as oxidative stress, inflammatory damage, and abnormal metabolism, can destroy cerebral blood vessels and structures, which also affect the diagnosis of injury. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new methods to quickly identify which patients are likely to suffer brain injury or even cause persistent disability. Detection of brain injury biomarkers based on blood and brain tissue has long been used to assess the severity of TBI, but no biomarkers have been found for early diagnosis of mTBI and prognosis of different degrees of brain injury. Protein and metabolic product differences were detected from blood or the lesion samples of normal population, patients with traumatic brain injury and/or non-brain injury using mass spectrometry proteomics and metabolomics analysis platform, and diagnostic markers of potential traumatic brain injury were found, and their differential and diagnostic values were discussed.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

normal population, patients with brain injury within 24h combined with or without systemtic injuries.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male and Female, aged from 18 to 65.
  2. Patients with brain injury within 24 hours after injury
  3. Non-brain injury group refers to patients with limb injury or systemic injury except brain injury.

Normal group
normal population
Brain injury group
patients with traumatic brain injury within 24 hours
Diagnostic test: diagnostic of specific biomarkers
Protein and metabolic product differences will be detected from blood or lesion samples of normal population, patients with traumatic brain injury and/or non-brain injury using mass spectrometry proteomics and metabolomics analysis platform. Diagnostic markers of potential traumatic brain injury will be found, and their differential diagnostic values were discussed.
Non-brain injury group
Non-brain injury group refers to patients with limb injury or systemic injury except brain injury.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
