title: [Observation on biochemical indicator of multiple organ functional dysfunction after femoral shaft fracture combined with brain injury in rats].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the features of rats organs functional changes after femur shaft fracture combined with brain injury through testing biochemical indicators in rats.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty 4-month-old male SD rats, weight (280 +/- 10) g, were divided into 5 groups according to random number table involving normal control group, at the 1st day of injured group, the 2nd day injured group, the 3rd day injured group, the 5th day injured group, the 7th day injured group, 5 rats in each group. The animal injury model of right femur shaft fracture combined with brain injury were made by instruments in 5 injured groups. At the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th day after made model, the biochemical indicators of blood serum from abdominal aorta including AST, ALT ,Cr, BUN, LDH and CK were detected and compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The biochemical indicator of blood serum (AST, ALT, Cr, BUN, LDH, CK) changed significantly among different groups. AST, ALT, BUN and CK reached peaks at the 1st day after injured (P<0.05). Cr reached peaks at the 3rd day after injured (P<0.05). LDH reached peak at the 2nd day after injured (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  After brain injury combined with right femoral fractures in rats, a variety of serum biochemical indicators increase significantly, especially in early 3 days after injured. These indicators shows indirectly heart, liver and kidney organ dysfunction by trauma.
