The Modeling Study of the Cavitation Effect in Brain Tissue during the Brain Deceleration Impact / 中国医学物理学杂志

Purpose: Set up a new technique to reproduce the cavitation effect in the process of brain deceleration impact Methods: A transparent physical brain model with tiny air bubbles was built and loaded on an upright brain deceleration impacting moveable platform. Then, in the high strength lighting circumstance, the moveable platform was made to free fall from a height of 40cm and impacted on a fixed platform, and the whole deceleration impacting process was recorded by a high-speed video camera. Using the serial pictures analysing software, the volume and mean pressure change of the air bubbles were calculated and the cavitation effect of the brain tissue during the impact was studied. Results: The volume of the air bubble in the contrecoup site increased obviously in the impacting process, the volume of the air bubble in the coup site decreased in the impacting process and the volume change of the air bubble in the middle site was not evident enough in the impacting process. Conclusion: The results proved the negative pressure and the cavitation phenomenon in the contrecoup site. The experiments explicitly and directly showed the cavitation effect in the contrecoup site during the decelerating impact It was helpful to better understand the distribution characters of the dynamic stress of the brain tissue in the brain decelerating impact in a certain extent, and it could also provide some methods and experimental foundation to clarify the mechanical mechanism of the brain contrecoup injury which was often taken place in traffic accidental injury. Besides, the methods were of significance to research the biomechanism, diagnosis and prevention of the brain deceleration impacting injury.

Research on brain tissue mechanical Style in brain model deceleration Impact / 医用生物力学

Objective to research the mechanical style(compressive or tensile force)of the key site of brain tissue in brain deceleration impact.Method a transparent physical brain model with air bubbles was built and loaded on an upright brain decaler ation impacting expedmentel platform.Then,the moveable platform was made a free fall from a height of 400mm and impacted on the fixed platform,and the whole deceleration impacting process was recorded by a high-speed video camera.Using the serial pictures analyzing Software,the length change of the long ads(vertical to the impacting direction)and the short axis(in the impacting di-rection)of the air bubbles were analyzed and calculated.Result the length change of the long axis of air bub-ble with in site coup was smallerthan the absolute value of that of the short axis;while with the air bubble in the contrecoup site,the length change of the long axis was bigger than the absolute value of the short axis.Conclusions the results showed that the air bubble in the coup site mainly suffered from the tensile force vertical to the impacting direction and the air bubble in the contrecoup site mainly suffered from the compres-sive force in the impacting direction.Since the propeny of tensile resistance of the brain tissue is inferior to the property of compressive resistance of the brain tissue, the injury is often easier to occur in the contrecoup site than in coup site. The results were of significance to the research of biomechanical mechanism, diagnosis and prevention of the brain deceleration impacting injury.

Microsurgery Through Modified Pterional-Approach for Fronto-temporal Severe Contrecoup Injury / 医学研究杂志

Objective To investigate the efficacy of operation for fronto - temporal severe contrecoup injury. Methods 39 patients of severe contrecoup injury got microsurgery through modified pterional approach. The range of bone decompression was judged in light of the pathology on operation. Results According to GOS, of 39 cases, there were better in 16 cases (41%) , moderate main in 8 eases (20.5%) , severe main in 6 cases (15.4%) , vegetarian in 2 cases (5.1%) and death in 7 cases (17.9%) . Conclusion Microsur-gory through modified pterional - approach is effective for fronto - temporal severe contreeoup injury with extensive exposure, big bone window, clear view of operation, sufficient decompression and perfect hemostasia. And this method can reduce mortality rate, decreasehandicapped rate and enhance survival rate.
