A New Understanding of the Mechanism of Injury to the Pelvis and Lower Limbs in Blast
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Dismounted complex blast injury (DCBI) has been one of the most severe forms of trauma sustained in recent conflicts. This injury has been partially attributed to limb flail; however, the full causative mechanism has not yet been fully determined.

Establishment and evaluation of an in vitro blast lung injury model using alveolar epithelial cells
Frontiers in Public Health, 2022 BackgroundGas explosion is a fatal disaster commonly occurred in coal mining and often causes systematic physical injuries, of which blast lung injury is the primary one and has not yet been fully investigated due to the absence of disease models.
