Outline of Final Research Achievements

Mild blast-induced TBI (mbTBI) is increasing due to terrorism. Thus, the mechanism of blast injury must be understood. This study aimed to assess chronic disability including immunohistological changes in the brain. We built and used a blast wave generator. The blast wave exited through a 20-mm I.D. nozzle aimed at the target. Rat brains showed no detectable injury at a nozzle-to-brain distance of 2.5cm . Peak shock wave pressure was 646.2±70.3kPa. The mbTBI was evaluated by Iba1 immunoreactivity at 3 days and 1, 2, and 6 weeks after injury. A forced swim test and Y-maze test were performed 2 weeks after injury. Early post-injury food intake decreased significantly in the blast group rats and they lost weight compared to control. The blast group showed increased immobility time in the forced swim test at 2 weeks. Iba1 immunostaining show microglial accumulation in the hypothalamus at 2 weeks after injury. This model will allow more precise identification of the mechanism of mbTBI.
