| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the serum values of D-dimer were investigated as blood biomarkers for detection of structural disorder in mild traumatic brain injury without CT scans. The value of D-dimer on admission was significantly higher (19.5 μg/ml vs 1.1μg/ml) in the lesion(+) group. The sensitivity and specificity were 0.91 and 0.90 at a D-dimer cutoff of 1.7 μg/ml. Abnormal findings of higher brain function were not obtained in this study. The examinations between biomarker and function could not be performed. A significant correlation between NSE and D-dimer was seen on admittance. Furthermore, a significant correlation between soluble tissue factor and D-dimer was seen on admittance. The blood level of D-dimer accurately reflected the degree of brain tissue damage indicated by NSE levels. Our data suggest that the release of tissue factor induced by brain tissue damage may activate the coagulation cascade leading to elevation in D-dimer levels.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
頭部外傷における脳損傷の程度を血清D-dimer値の測定にて数値化することが可能となった。また、組織因子による上昇機序を示すことにより信用性も増した。D-dimerの測定は、日本では日常的に可能な検査である。中枢神経領域の診察や画像診断は、非専門医にとっては、苦手意識もあり敬遠されがちである。D-dimerの測定は、非専門医にとっても頭部外傷の診断が容易に可能となるtoolと成り得る。
