Abstract
Introduction: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI), with high mortality and morbidity both in children and adults, is one of the most severe pathological consequences of traumatic brain injury. Currently, clinical diagnosis, disease assessment, disability identification, and postmortem diagnosis of DAI is mainly limited by the absent of specific molecular biomarkers.
Areas covered: In this review, we first introduce the pathophysiology of DAI, summarized the reported biomarkers in previous animal and human studies, and then the molecular biomarkers such as β-Amyloid precursor protein, neurofilaments, S-100β, myelin basic protein, tau protein, neuron-specific enolase, Peripherin and Hemopexin for DAI diagnosis is summarized. Finally, we put forward valuable views on the future research direction of diagnostic biomarkers of DAI.
Expert opinion: In recent years, the advanced technology has ultimately changed the research of DAI, and the numbers of potential molecular biomarkers was introduced in related studies. We summarized the latest updated information in such studies to provide references for future research and explore the potential pathophysiological mechanism on diffuse axonal injury.
导言:弥漫性轴索损伤(DAI)是创伤性脑损伤最严重的病理后果之一,在儿童和成人中的死亡率和发病率都很高。目前,DAI 的临床诊断、疾病评估、残疾鉴定和尸检诊断主要受限于缺乏特异性分子生物标志物:在这篇综述中,我们首先介绍了 DAI 的病理生理学,总结了以往动物和人体研究中报道的生物标志物,然后总结了用于 DAI 诊断的分子生物标志物,如β-淀粉样前体蛋白、神经丝、S-100β、髓鞘碱性蛋白、tau 蛋白、神经元特异性烯醇化酶、Peripherin 和 Hemopexin。最后,我们对未来 DAI 诊断生物标志物的研究方向提出了宝贵的意见:近年来,先进的技术最终改变了对 DAI 的研究,相关研究中引入了大量潜在的分子生物标志物。我们总结了这些研究的最新进展,为今后的研究提供参考,并探讨弥漫性轴索损伤的潜在病理生理机制。
