    objective To analyze the data on medical examinations ofaircrews long-stationed at high altitudes to explore the disease spectrum and to study the specific effects of high-altitude environments on human physiological function in order to provide data for related health care support. Methods A respective analysis was conducted of the health checkup data of aircrews who had worked for at least two consecutive years at altitudes above 3 000 meters. According to the time they underwent the physical examinations, they were divided into three groups: the period on the plains, a stay of one year on the plateau and a stay of two years on the plateau. Results A total of 113 flight crew members were included. The top five diseases in the period on the plains were hyperlipidemia(22%, 25/113), thyroid diseases(19%, 21/113), liver diseases(16%, 18/113), hyperuricemia(15%, 17/113), and lumbar spine diseases(15%, 17/113). During their first year on the plateau, the top five were hyperuricemia(31%, 35/113), thyroid diseases(28%, 32/113), hyperlipidemia(22%, 25/113), liver diseases(20%, 23/113), and lumbar spine diseases(19%, 22/113). By the second year on the plateau, the top five were hyperuricemia(38%, 43/113), thyroid diseases(36%, 41/113),cardiac diseases(32%, 36 /113), liver diseases(27%, 30/113), and hyperlipidemia(26%, 29/113). The top three fastest- increasing diseases were the cardiac diseases, hyperuricemia, and thyroid diseases. Conclusion This study has shed light on the characteristics of common diseases among aircrews long-stationed on the plateau during different periods, elaborated on the impacts of long-term exposure to the plateau environment on their physiological status, and has great implications for the physical health of plateau aircrews and for the safety of aviation.

    Objective To analyze the ultrasound detection rates and characteristics of thyroid nodules during the medical selection of pilots in order to provide data for revising the thyroid ultrasound standards for recruitment. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of results of thyroid ultrasound examination obtained from 8,893 male applicants ages 16 to 20 during the final medical selection for pilot recruitment, and from 3,313 male patients ages 11-80 examined at the Air Force Medical Center between December 2023 and May 2024. The analysis involved the number and location of thyroid nodules, the maximum nodule diameter, the sum of maximum diameters, and nodule classification. Thyroid ultrasound findings from applicants were compared with those from outpatients in the same age group. Additionally, thyroid ultrasound results were compared between outpatients of different ages, and the correlation between the average maximum nodule diameter and age was analyzed. Results Among the applicants, thyroid nodules were detected in 180 cases. The cumulative detection rate for subjects with ≤2 thyroid nodules(inciuding no nodules)was 99.88%, 99.82% for nodules with a maximum diameter ≤1.50 cm(inciuding no nodules), and 99.82% for the sum of maximum diameters ≤2.00 cm(inciuding no nodules). No statistically significant difference was observed between the latter two rates(χ2=5.512, P=0.357). A negative correlation was observed between the maximum nodule diameter and the independent detection rate(rs=-0.996, P<0.001). The detection rate of TR3 category nodules was higher than that of TR2 and TR4 category nodules. No statistically significant differences were observed in detection rates of thyroid nodules or in the composition ratio of nodule numbers between applicants and outpatients of the same age group(all P>0.05). Among outpatients with thyroid nodules, the proportion of multiple nodules was observed to gradually increase with age(linear trend χ2=149.091, P<0.001), and a positive correlation was identified between the average maximum nodule diameter and age(rs=0.158, P<0.001). Statistically significant differences were found in the distribution of Chinese Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System(C-TIRADS)categories among thyroid nodule patients across age groups(P<0.001), with the proportion of TR3 category nodules being higher than that of TR4 and ≥TR5 category nodules in each age group. Conclusion It is recommended that the qualification standard for thyroid examination during medical selection of pilots require bilateral thyroid nodules ≤2 in number, maximum nodule diameter ≤1.5 cm, or the sum of maximum nodule diameters ≤2.0 cm, concurrently with a C-TIRADS classification of TR3 or lower.

    Objective To analyze the reasons for surgical disqualification of candidates from five southern provinces during the secondary medical selection of Air Force flying cadets, and to explore the corresponding healthcare countermeasures. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the surgical examination results of candidates from five southern provinces who participated in the secondary medical selection of Air Force flying cadets between 2020 and 2024. The causes of surgical disqualification were statistically analyzed. Results Over the past 5 years, the percentage of surgically disqualified candidates during the secondary medical selection was 7.53%. The top 10 reasons included insufficient upper limb length(18.49%), surgical history(13.75%), insufficient height(9.17%), bone and joint injuries(8.67%), abnormal limb morphology(6.06%), skin scars(6.06%), spinal deformities(4.26%), pigmented nevi(3.44%), pelvic tilt(2.95%), and overweight(1.97%). Among them, there were statistically significant differences in the rates of disqualification due to insufficient upper limb length, surgical history, insufficient height, bone and joint injuries, and skin scars in the past 5 years(χ2=73.949, 18.803, 9.544, 9.655, 14.789, P<0.001, <0.001, =0.049, 0.047, 0.005), excluding abnormal limb morphology, spinal deformities, pigmented nevi, pelvic tilt, and overweight(all P>0.05). Conclusion Insufficient upper limb length, surgical history, insufficient height, bone and joint injuries, and skin scars are the major reasons for surgical disqualification during the secondary medical selection of Air Force flying cadets. Early prevention and health care can increase the number of surgically qualified candidates and improve the quality and efficiency of medical selection.

    Objective To investigate the effectiveness of a physical training program s for pilots in high - altitude, low-oxygen environments. Methods A randomized controlled trial design was adopted that divided 20 pilots into a physical training group(n=10)and a non-physical training group(n=10). The training regimen for the physical training group focused on strength training for lower limbs, abdomens, chests, and back muscle groups, supplemented by aerobic endurance training. The non-training group received related health education only without physical training. After a 4-week intervention for each group, the training effects were compared and analyzed. Results Pre-training measurements showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the limb circumference, body composition, upper/lower limb strength, abdominal/back muscle endurance, lower limb explosive power, or aerobic capacity(all P>0.05). Post-intervention, the body fat percentage was lower in the physical training group than in the non-physical training group(t=2.148, P=0.046)while the values of bench press 1-RM(t=2.153, P=0.045), squat 1-RM(t=2.482, P=0.023), abdominal endurance(t=2.917, P=0.011), and maximal oxygen uptake(VO2max)(t=2.158, P=0.045)were significantly higher. Following training, the left upper limb circumference increased(t=2.880, P=0.018)while the lower limb circumference decreased(t=3.550, P=0.007), along with a decrease in the body fat percentage(t=3.398, P=0.008)in the physical fitness training group. Muscle mass(t=2.803, P=0.021), abdominal endurance(t=2.956, P=0.012), back muscle endurance(t=2.921, P=0.013), and VO2max(t=5.350, P<0.001)were all increased after training. In the non-physical training group, the left upper limb circumference(t=2.480, P=0.035) and lower limb circumference(t=4.151, P=0.002)decreased while the body fat percentage increased compared with pre-training levels(t=5.201, P<0.001). Additionally, their bench press 1-RM(t=5.198, P<0.001), squat 1-RM(t=5.302, P<0.001), abdominal endurance(t=5.250, P<0.001), and back muscle endurance(t=5.280, P<0.001)were all lower. Conclusion Physical training in high-altitude environments can effectively improve pilots' body composition and athletic performance. However, more optimization of training protocols is needed to enhance explosive power.

    Objective To review the clinical characteristics and results of aeromedical assessment of aircrews with essential tremor(ET)in order to provide references for related assessments. Methods Cases of ET among aircrews and clinical reports were retrieved from the electronic case system in our center and from related databases. The conditions, clinical manifestations, treatment regimens, prognosis and aeromedical assessment of these aircrews were summarized. Results Seven male cases were enrolled in this study, who ranged from 27 to 43 in age. Among these patients, there were 3 helicopter pilots, 2 instructor pilots, 1 weapons controller, and 1 fighter pilot. In terms of clinical tremor grading, 2 patients were rated as level 2, 3 as level 1, 1 as level 3, and 1 case had an unknown grading(not recorded in the literature). The three pilots graded as level 1(two helicopter pilots and one instructor pilot)were not treated and given special flight permit after aeromedical assessment. One military weapon controller and one helicopter pilot, both graded as level 2, were treated(with gabapentin and arotinolol respectively)before being given special flight permit. One pilot graded as level 3 was considered disqualified for flying, while the one case who could not be graded in literature was approved to be qualified for flying double-seat aircraft. The follow-up for the six hospitalized aircrews ranged from 5 to 31 months. There were no changes in clinical grading, no drug intolerance, and they were healthy enough for flying. Conclusion Limb tremor associated with ET in aircrews can impact flight safety and requires accurate assessment based on clinical grading. Aircrews with tremor grades 1 and 2 may be granted special flight permit. It is recommended that aircrews given special flight permit return to the hospital for annual re-assessment.

    Objective To investigate the prevalence of chronic prostatitis-like symptoms(CPLS)and associated psychosocial risk factors among unmarried males in plateau regions in order to provide evidence for the prevention and management of type III prostatitis(chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, CP/CPPS). Methods In this cross-sectional study, 1 024 unmarried males were enrolled from the Ngari Prefecture, Tibet(average altitude: 4 200 m). Data was collected using the National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI)to determine the incidence of CPLS and analyze the risk factors. Results Among the 1 024 men surveyed, the incidence of chronic prostatitis-like symptoms(CPLS)was 11.43%(117/1 024). The total scores of NIH-CPSI, pain symptom scores, urinary domain scores, and quality of life scores in the CPLS group were significantly higher than in the non-CPLS group,(Z=-17.842, -27.892, -18.268, -13.521, all P<0.001). Significant differences were observed between the CPLS and non-CPLS groups in terms of frequent urine holding, daily sedentary durations, sleep durations, and frequency of masturbation(χ2=12.828, 6.566, 12.969, 59.892, P<0.001, =0.010, <0.001, <0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the following as independent risk factors for CPLS: social factors including frequent urine holding(OR=3.055, 95%CI: 1.405-6.640), sleep durations ≤6 hours/day(OR=2.017, 95%CI: 1.305-3.116), and frequency of masturbation ≥4 times/week(OR=10.117, 95%CI: 4.508-22.709)and psychological factors including anxiety(OR=2.083, 95%CI: 1.311-3.309), emotional instability(OR=2.795, 95%CI: 1.809-4.319), and poor interpersonal relationships(OR=5.118, 95%CI: 3.143-8.335). Conclusion The incidence of CPLS is high among unmarried males in plateau regions. The risk factors include frequent holding of urine, long sleep durations, high frequency of masturbation, anxiety, unstable emotions, and poor interpersonal relationships. It is recommended that CPLS related health knowledge be made more accessible in plateau regions and desirable habits be encouraged. At the same time, patients' conditions should be assessed during the treatment of CPLS to keep patients away from adverse influences.

    Objective To improve the ability of high-altitude medical support by investigating the distribution of diseases among troops undergoing one-year training in border areas above 3 000 meters, and analyzing the epidemiology. Methods The medical records of military inpatients and outpatients admitted to the People' Hospital of Caya County, Nyingchi City, Tibet Autonomous Region were collected. Those who had undertaken one-year training tasks were screened out by task before being classified into the acclimatized group and the newly-arrived group according to the time they entered the plateau. The diseases detected were categorized using the International Classification of Diseases method(ICD-11), and the distribution of the diseases was analyzed. Results The medical records of these training troops fell into 15 types of diseases involving 5 264 visits. The top five categories were diseases linked to the respiratory system(2 107 visits, 40.03%), digestive system(1 065 visits, 20.23%), skin and subcutaneous tissue(937 visits, 17.80%), nervous system(259 visits, 4.92%), and musculoskeletal and connective tissue(218 visits, 4.14%). There was statistically significant difference in the ratio of disease composition between the acclimatized group and the newly arrived group(χ2=926.483, P=0.001). The proportion of visits for diseases related to the respiratory system, skin/subcutaneous tissue and circulatory system was higher in the newly arrived group than in the acclimatized group(χ2=97.758, 23.427, 5.426, P<0.001, <0.001, =0.020), while that of visits for diseases associated with the digestive system, musculoskeletal system/connective tissue, injuries/ poisoning/external trauma, endocrine/nutrition/metabolism, blood and hematopoietic systems was lower(χ2=4.736-374.007, all P<0.05). The number of visits to doctors was the largest in winter(1 878 visits, 35.68%), followed by autumn(1 589 visits, 30.19%)and spring(1 026 visits, 19.49%), and the lowest in summer(771 visits, 14.65%). There were seasonal differences in the frequency of visits between the acclimatized group and the newly arrived group(χ2=418.196, P<0.001). The number of visits in the newly arrived group was larger than in the acclimatized group in summer and autumn(χ2=161.138, 86.071, both P<0.001), but lower in spring and winter(χ2=253.167, 26.035, both P<0.001). Conclusion High altitude diseases have seasonal and regional characteristics. Individualized and precise plans for prevention and treatment should be mapped out based on the tasks of training troops, which is of great significance for improving the ability of high-altitude medical support.

    Objective To analyze the low-dose chest CT examination results of fighter pilots and provide data for related aeromedical assessments. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the results of low-dose chest CT scan and of the data on aeromedical assessments of fighter pilots who underwent health checkups between April 2023 and December 2024 at the 983rd Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force. These pilots were divided into a group ages 20 to 29, a group ages 30 to 39 and a third group ages 40-49. The differences in examination results between different age groups were analyzed before critical considerations were identified for aeromedical assessments. Results The results of low dose chest CT screening of 385 fighter pilots revealed no obvious abnormalities in 294 cases(76.36%), pulmonary nodules in 50 cases(12.99%), pulmonary bullae in 34 cases(8.83%), tracheal diverticula in 9 cases(2.34%), mediastinal nodule in 5 cases(1.30%), and esophageal dilatation with food retention in 2 cases(0.52%). There were statistically significant differences in the detection rates of no obvious abnormalities, pulmonary nodules, and pulmonary bullae between these age groups(χ2=14.674, 9.193, 7.868, P<0.001, =0.010, =0.020). Fewer significant abnormalities were observed in the 30-39-year-old group than in the 40-49-year-old group(P<0.05). More pulmonary nodules and pulmonary bullae were detected in the group ages 40 to 49 than in the other two age groups(all P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the detection rates of tracheal diverticulum, esophageal dilation or mediastinal nodules between these groups(all P>0.05). Three cases were temporarily grounded due to pulmonary nodules, and another 4 cases due to pulmonary bullae, accounting for 7.69%(7/91)of the abnormal results. Conclusion The application of low dose chest CT examination in health checkups of fighter pilots can help detect chest diseases early, treat them quickly, and draw more convincing conclusions about aeromedical assessments.

    Objective To investigate the incidence of asthenopia among operators of medium and large-sized unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)in the Air Force and analyze its influencing factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out. The Asthenopia Survey Scale(ASS)were used to survey 78 operators of medium and large-sized UAVs from the Air Force Units stationed in plateau areas in 2024. Based on the ASS scores, the subjects were divided into 2 groups: the asthenopia group(total score ≥15 points)and the non-asthenopia group(total score <15 points). The occurrence of asthenopia was analyzed, and univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to identify the influencing factors of asthenopia. Results A total of 76 valid questionnaires were collected. Among the subjects, 22 operators had asthenopia(total score ≥15 points), resulting in an asthenopia incidence rate of 28.95%. Among all items in the scale, 8 items had a detection rate of ≥80%, which were as follows: Item A: "Do you have symptoms of asthenopia"(90.90%); Item B: "Does asthenopia affect your study, work, or life"(81.82%); Item 1: "Do you feel discomfort around the eyes"(95.45%); Item 2: "Do you have dry eyes"(95.45%); Item 3: "Do you have eye pain such as stabbing pain or distending pain"(86.36%); Item 5: "Do you have sore eyes"(86.36%); Item 6: "Do you feel tightness in the eyes"(81.82%); Item 8: "When using electronic devices such as mobile phones or computers, does the screen brightness cause eye discomfort"(81.82%). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that two factors were identified as risk factors for asthenopia: "Dry eyes"(OR=6.101, 95%CI: 1.549-24.031); "Reduced reading speed due to eye symptoms"(OR=12.741, 95%CI: 1.990-81.569). Conclusion Asthenopia symptoms are relatively prevalent among medium and large-sized UAV operators in the Air Force, primarily manifested as dry eyes and reduced reading speed due to eye symptoms. Dry eyes are the lead contributing factor to asthenopia.

    Objective To explore the effects of sleep deprivation on functional brain connectivity in simulated extended-duration flights using a graph-theoretic approach in order to provide data for formulating precautions and ensuring flight safety. Methods Forty-four young and middle-aged subjects were enrolled in this study. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance(rs-fMRI)examinations were performed before and after 24 hours of sleep deprivation. Time series and functional connectivity matrices were extracted from rs-fMRI and visualized via graph theory metrics and computation of brain network metrics. The degrees, local efficiencies, clustering coefficients, and bridging connections in each brain region were computed while the global network characteristics of each subject were compared before and after sleep deprivation to assess its effects on functional brain connectivity. Results After sleep deprivation, the local efficiency in the right middle frontal gyrus and left inferior occipital gyrus increased(Z/t=2.026, 3.532, PFDR=0.049, <0.001), so did clustering coefficients(t=2.377, 3.146, PFDR=0.022, 0.003). The degree of the right middle occipital gyrus was also elevated(t=2.096, PFDR=0.042). In contrast, the degrees of the left superior temporal gyrus, right Heschl's gyrus, and left insula as well as the local efficiency of the right Heschl's gyrus decreased(Z/t=-2.026, 2.177, 2.959, 2.177, PFDR=0.049, 0.035, 0.005, 0.033). In addition, both average local efficiency and bridging connections increased(t=2.090, 2.310, PFDR=0.042, 0.025). Conclusion Sleep deprivation impacts the cognitive function of subjects in a simulated extended-duration flight, particularly in terms of attention and delayed memory. The brain may make adaptive responses to sleep deprivation at the local network level, but the global network efficiency may decline.

    Objective To investigate the impact of varying ambient light intensity and display brightness on pilots' visual behavior using eye-tracking technology. Methods Nineteen military pilots were selected as the subjects between July 2024 and December 2024. Under three levels of ambient light intensity(dim light, medium-intensity light, and strong light), the subjects adjusted the display brightness to the three levels(minimum, moderate, and maximum). Data on their pupil diameter, saccade duration, blink duration, and gaze trajectory was collected by eye-tracking system. Results In the dim light environment, the pupil diameter was larger when the display brightness was at the minimum level compared to the moderate and maximum levels(P=0.010, <0.001), and it was also larger at the moderate level than at the maximum level(P<0.001). Under any of the display brightness levels, the pupil diameter in the dim light environment was significantly larger than in either the medium-intensity or strong light environment(all P<0.001). Under the maximum display brightness, the pupil diameter in the medium-intensity light environment was larger than in the strong light environment(P=0.012). The effects of ambient light intensity and display brightness on the saccade duration were insignificant(all P>0.05). In the medium-intensity light environment, the blink duration was significantly shorter than in the strong light environment(P=0.019). The gaze trajectories varied with ambient light intensity. Paths were more tortuous with more fixation points in the dim and the strong light environments, whereas they were more direct in the medium-intensity light environment. Conclusion The results suggest that both ambient light intensity and display brightness impact the pupil diameter rather than on the saccade duration. Ambient light intensity influences the blink duration, while display brightness has little effect. Gaze trajectories also vary widely under varying ambient light intensities. These findings can provide a reference for the optimized design of light environments and display brightness.

    Objective To study the role of a stepwise electric rotary chair training protocol in enhancing the vestibular function stability of airsickness-prone individuals in order to provide evidence for screening and managing these individuals. Methods Forty-four volunteers underwent airsickness susceptibility screening using an electric rotary chair that rotated at 180°/s for 120 s. Failures of the screening received 1 to 4 days of training, with daily sessions lasting for a minimum of 25 minutes, plus psychological guidance and relaxation. Pre and post-training tolerance time and pass rates of screening in different genders were compared to analyze the contributing factors. Results Of these participants, 15 were identified as susceptible to airsickness. After training, their mean tolerance time significantly improved(t=24.100,P<0.001). The detection rate of susceptibility was 66.67%(6/9)among females, compared with 25.71%(9/35)among males(P=0.044). There was no statistically significant difference in susceptibility between different age groups(all P>0.05). Moreover, 93.33%(14/15)of the susceptible individuals met the training standard within three days. Conclusion The stepwise rotary chair training protocol can rapidly and effectively improve vestibular stability and reduce adaptation time. A 120-second screening duration seems feasible.

    Objective To explore the effects of quadriceps relaxation training combined with Zhoulin spectrum therapeutic apparatus on knee joint pain and functions as well as inflammatory factors in military personnel with post-exercise knee pain. Methods A total of 80 military personnel with knee pain caused by high-intensity training between February 2024 and January 2025 were selected as subjects and randomly divided into a control group(Zhoulin spectrum therapeutic apparatus alone, n=40)and an observation group(quadriceps relaxation training combined with Zhoulin spectrum therapeutic apparatus, n=40). The course lasted 4 weeks, with both groups receiving guided therapy and relaxation training under medical supervision. Clinical efficacy, scores of the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale(LKSS), scores of the Visual Analog Scale(VAS), and rates of recurrence were compared between the two groups before and after 4 weeks of treatment. Levels of interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-10 were compared at 1 day before treatment, 1 day after treatment, and 3 days after treatment. Results The clinical efficacy in the observation group was much better than that of the control group(Z=-1.993, P=0.046). Both groups had their VAS scores reduced and Lysholm knee scores increased after 4 weeks of treatment(t=12.079, 9.038, 20.574, 13.148, all P<0.001). The recurrence rate in the observation group was lower than that of the control group at 4 weeks post-treatment(χ2=6.667, P=0.010). Simple effect analysis by group found that IL-6 levels were higher(P=0.005, <0.001)while IL-10 levels were lower(P=0.011, <0.001)in the control group than in the observation group at 1 and 3 days post-intervention. Time-based simple effect analysis showed that IL-6 levels peaked at 1 day post-treatment and declined after 3 days of treatment in both groups(both P<0.001). IL-10 levels kept increasing in the observation group(all P<0.05), and were elevated in the control group at 1 and 3 days post-treatment compared with baseline(both P<0.001). Conclusion Combining quadriceps relaxation training with Zhoulin spectrum therapeutic apparatus can yield better outcomes in military personnel with post-exercise knee pain, improve their clinical symptoms, enhance knee function, mitigate pain intensity, lower recurrence rates, and regulate inflammatory cytokine levels.

    Objective To find out more about the differences in gut microbiota between aircrews with hyperlipidemia(HL), hyperuricemia(HA)or both(HA+HL)and healthy aircrews(NC). Methods A total of 40 aircrews who underwent physical examinations at our hospital between September 2022 and September 2023 were enrolled and divided into four groups: a normal control group(NC group, 10 participants), a hyperlipidemia group(HL group, 10 participants), a hyperuricemia group(HA group, 10 participants), and a hyperlipidemia combined with hyperuricemia group(HA+HL group, 10 participants). The basic demographic information, important data and metabolic indicators(including blood lipid parameters and serum uric acid levels)were collected. Fecal samples were obtained and subjected to 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing to analyze gut microbiota composition. Differential bacterial communities were identified before their functional characteristics were investigated. Results Based on the Bray-Curtis distance matrix, weighted differences between samples were calculated and analyzed using principal coordinate analysis(PCoA). The results showed that the microbial structures of the HA group, HA+HL group, and HL group were significantly different from those of the NC group(F=1.625, 1.654, 1.400, all P<0.05). At the phylum level, the top five bacterial phyla across all four groups were Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Desulfobacterota. The relative abundance of Firmicutes in the HA+HL group was significantly higher than in the NC group(P<0.001), and that of Bacteroidetes and the Bacteroidetes-to-Firmicutes ratio in the HA, HL, and HA+HL groups were all significantly higher than in the NC group(all P<0.001). At the genus level, the top eight gut bacterial genera across the four groups were Megamonas, Bacteroides, Faecalibacterium, Bifidobacteriaceae, Prevotella-9, Streptococcus, Agathobacter, and Escherichia-Shigella. Significant differences were observed in the abundance of Escherichia-Shigella between the four groups(H=9.000, P=0.029), with the relative abundance of the HA+HL group significantly lower than in the NC group(P<0.05). Conclusion Aircrews with HA, HL or both(HA+HL)are vulnerable to gut microbiota dysbiosis. Alterations in the abundance of fermentative carbohydrate-related bacterial genera may serve as significant biomarkers for metabolic abnormalities.

    Objective To analyze pilots' behavior related to visual information acquisition and cognitive processing during turning and landing of simulated flights. Methods Forty-two male pilots performed the designated flight mission in the same simulator. Data on their eye movement was recorded using an SMI eye tracker, and the fixation durations in each area of interest(AOI)across different stages were statistically analyzed. Results During turning, there was a statistically significant difference in the median fixation duration of the subjects on graphic and digital AOIs(Z=-2.737, P=0.006). Participants' fixation durations on lower AOIs were longer than on upper AOIs(P=0.043)and on right AOIs(P<0.001), and fixation durations on central AOIs were longer than on right ones(P=0.015). However, there was no significant difference in durations between the subjects' fixation on the external runway and on the first fixation point when shifting back to the instrument panel(both P>0.05). Besides, there was statistically significant difference in the median fixation duration between the first fixation point when the subjects shifted back to the instrument panel and other AOIs of the instrument(Z=-3.036, P=0.002). During landing, participants exhibited longer fixation durations on the runway centerline than on the instrument panel(P=0.008). Conclusion Pilots pay more attention to graphic AOIs, lower AOIs, central AOIs, and the first fixation point when shifting back to the instrument panel during turning, but they focus their attention on aligning with the runway during landing, suggesting that the design of human-machine interaction interfaces can be optimized by taking actual flights into consideration.

    Objective To explore the applicability of virtual endoscopic reconstruction technology in the treatment of pilot kidney stones using ureteral flexible ureteroscopy. Methods A total of 32 pilots who underwent ureteral flexible ureteroscopy for kidney stones at the Urology Department between January 2021 and February 2024 were selected for this study, who were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method: the control group(16 cases)and the experimental group(16 cases). The control group underwent traditional CT imaging for stone localization and subsequent ureteral flexible ureteroscopy while the experimental group used virtual endoscopy reconstruction technology for preoperative stone localization and intraluminal surgical path planning. During surgery, the planned path was followed for ureteral flexible ureteroscopy. The age, stone length, stone location, intraoperative stone localization time, surgical durations, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, stone location, stone length or the incidence of surgical complications(all P>0.05). The experimental group had a shorter stone localization time and a shorter surgical duration than the control group, with statistically significant differences(Z/t=-2.488, 2.643, P=0.013, 0.014). Conclusion The application of virtual endoscopy reconstruction technology in preoperative stone localization, surgical path planning, and intraoperative navigation can shorten stone localization time and surgical durations in ureteral flexible ureteroscopy, thereby improving surgical efficiency.

    Objective To explore the characteristics of balance and gait of patients after lateral ankle ligament reconstruction and compare them with healthy individuals in order to help develop precise and personalized postoperative rehabilitation programs. Methods Thirty male patients undergoing ankle ligament reconstruction surgery at the Fourth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between October 1, 2023 and August 1, 2024 were selected as the study group, while another thirty healthy male peers served as the control group. The balance platform was used to collect data on the two groups of subjects regarding the area and perimeter of their motion trajectories, anterior-posterior and lateral standard deviations, average movement distance of the center of foot pressure on the X and Y axes, and their stability limit values under both eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions. A three-dimensional gait analysis system was employed to collect gait parameters and assess gait characteristics, including the double support phase, foot angle, step uniformity, support phase, swing phase, gait cycle, ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion, inversion-eversion, step frequency, step speed, and step width. Results In the eyes-open state, the motion trajectory area, motion trajectory perimeter, lateral standard deviation of the trajectory, and anterior-posterior standard deviation of the trajectory of patients in the ankle ligament reconstruction group were all greater than those of the control group(Z=-3.504 to -2.454, all P<0.05). In the eyes-closed state, the motion trajectory area, motion trajectory perimeter, lateral standard deviation of the trajectory, anterior-posterior standard deviation of the trajectory, and the average movement distance of the center of pressure on the Y-axis in the ankle ligament reconstruction group exceeded those of the control group(Z=-3.755 to -2.247, all P<0.05). The stability limit value of the ankle ligament reconstruction group was lower than that of the control group(Z=2.292, P=0.022). During walking, compared with the control group, there was a decrease in step frequency and step speed in the reconstruction group(Z=-2.434, -3.756, P=0.015, <0.001), but a significant increase in the double support phase(Z=-4.132, P<0.001)and swing phase(Z=-2.432, P=0.015)in the affected side of the reconstruction group, the support phase(Z=-2.225, P=0.024), step length(Z=-2.561, P=0.010), while the ankle dorsiflexion/plantar flexion range of motion(Z=-3.297, P=0.001) was significantly reduced. The healthy side also showed a significant increase in the double support phase(Z=-2.366, P=0.018). Compared with the healthy side, patients in the reconstruction group had a significant increase in the double support phase(Z=-2.513, P=0.012)and swing phase(Z=-3.962, P<0.001)in the affected side, while the support phase(Z=-4.007, P<0.001)and ankle dorsiflexion/plantar flexion range of motion(Z=-2.188, P=0.029)were significantly reduced. Conclusion Eight weeks after lateral ankle ligament reconstruction, patients' balance stability remains impaired under both eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions, with more pronounced anterior-posterior instability when eyes are closed. Abnormal gait patterns persist during walking.

    Objective To analyze the results of training and respiratory rates of aircrews of different ages during anti-G breathing maneuvers under load conditions in order to provide data for anti-G breathing maneuvers training. Methods Three hundred and thirty-nine aircrews were collected from the Air Force Medical Center who participated in manned centrifuge training in 2019-2022. The differences in the respiratory rate, pass rate, visual field or changes in states of consciousness during high load training between the group ages 20 to 25(n=69), group ages 26 to 30(n=110), group ages 31 to 34(n=83), and the group ages 35 and older(n=77)were analyzed. Results A total of 339 aircrews participated in the high load training in this study(212 passed the test, and 127 did not pass). The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the pass rate between the four age groups(χ2=13.294, P=0.004). Pairwise comparisons indicated that the pass rate in the group ages 20 to 25(55.07%, 38/69) was lower than in the group ages 31 to 34(74.70%, 62/83), and lower in the group ages 26 to 30(52.73%, 58/110) than in the group ages 31 to 34(74.70%, 62/83)and the group ages 35 and older(70.13%, 54/77)(all P<0.05).The respiratory frequency results showed that there were statistically significant differences during the 8 G and 9 G plateaus across age groups(F=3.476, P=0.016), and the respiratory frequency in the group ages 20-25 was significantly lower than in the other three groups(P=0.002, 0.028, 0.011). The results of the visual field or states of consciousness showed statistically significant differences in the percentage of aircrews rated as "GOOD" and "A-LOC" or "G-LOC"(χ2=8.619, 8.491, P=0.035, 0.037)between the four groups. Pairwise comparisons showed that the incidence of A-LOC or G-LOC in the group ages 26 to 30 was significantly higher than that in the group ages 31 to 34(P<0.05). Conclusion The pass rates for high-load training vary among aircrews in different age groups, which may be related to increased accumulated experience in countering high-G forces, pointing to the need to strengthen the load resistance of young aircrews. In addition, the anti-G breathing rate of aircrews under high load conditions is relatively fast, so the training on action of breathing should be improved to ensure flight safety.

    Objective To study the incidence of neck and waist diseases among military aircrews flying different types of aircraft and of different ages so as to provide a reference for the precise prevention and treatment of neck and waist diseases among aircrews. Methods By retrospectively analyzing the clinical data of 9 126 aircrews in Lintong Rehabilitation and Convalescent Center, according to different aircraft types, the aircraft(bombers and ptransport aircraft)group consisted of 2 593 aircrews, the aircraft(fighters)group consisted of 1 851 aircrews, and the aircraft(helicopters)group consisted of 4 682 aircrews, the prevalence of neck and waist diseases among these aircrews and the relationships with aircraft types and age of aircrews were studied. Results The incidence rates of neck, waist and concurrent neck and waist diseases in 9 126 aircrews were 6.99%(638/9 126), 12.92%(1 179/9 126)and 2.55%(233/9 126)respectively. The top three neck diseases were neck muscle strain(276/9 126), accounting for 3.02%, cervical spondylosis(203/9 126), accounting for 2.22%, and cervical disc herniation(154/9 126), accounting for 1.69%. The top three waist diseases were lumbar disc herniation(647/9 126), accounting for 7.09%, lumbar muscle strain(441/9 126), accounting for 4.83%, and lumbar spondylolysis(42/9 126), accounting for 0.46%. In the aircraft(bombers and ptransport aircraft)groups, the prevalence of neck disease in the group of aircrews ages 30 and younger was lower than in the group ages 41 to 50(P<0.05), and waist disease was not so prevalent in the group ages 30 and younge as in the other three age groups(all P<0.05). In the aircraft(fighters)groups, the incidence of neck disease in the group aged 30 and younger was lower than in the other three age groups(all P<0.05), and that of waist disease in the group ages 30 and younger was lower than in the group between the ages of 41 and 50(P<0.05). The incidence of neck and waist disease in the group ages 30 and younger was lower than in the groups ages 31 to 40 and 41 to 50(both P<0.05). In the aircraft(helicopters)group, the prevalence of neck, waist, and concurrent neck and waist diseases in aircrews aged 30 and younger was lower than in the other age groups(all P<0.05). Neck disease was more common in the aircraft(fighters)group than in the aircraft(bombers and ptransport aircraft)groupand aircraft(helicopters)group(both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of waist disease between aircrews of different aircraft types(all P>0.05). The incidence of neck and waist disease in the aircraft(fighters)group was higher than that in the aircraft(bombers and ptransport aircraft)group and the aircraft(helicopters)group(both P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of neck, waist and concurrent neck and waist diseases in aircrews of the same type of aircraft in the group ages 30 and younger is lower than in the other age groups. After the age of 30, these diseases become more common with the increase of flight time. Aviation security personnel should take precautions according to age and types of aircraft and get treated as early as possible to keep their necks and waists healthy.

    Objective To investigate the distribution of and contributors to training-induced knee joint injuries among paratroopers. Methods A stratified random sampling method was used to select 2 583 paratroopers as the subjects. A large-sample cross-sectional analysis was conducted using an epidemiological questionnaire designed to assess knee joint injuries due to parachuting training. Results Among the 2,407 military personnel, 358 sustained knee joint injuries. Among these cases, 293(81.84%)occurred exclusively during ground training, 15(4.19%)during high-altitude parachuting alone, and 50(13.97%)during both phases of training. The most common injuries from ground training were meniscal injury(30.61%, 105/343), followed by synovitis(22.74%, 78/343), musculotendinous injury(19.24%, 66/343), ligament injury(16.91%, 58/343), and osteoarticular injury(10.50%, 36/343). The items of training most likely to cause injury included running(30.61%, 105/343), platform training(16.33%, 56/343), tactical training(16.03%, 55/343), and ring training(12.24%, 42/343). Multivariate analysis showed lengths of service ≤4 years(OR=1.091, 95%CI: 1.043-1.133), daily durations of training >4 hours(OR=1.052, 95%CI: 1.020-1.091), and previous synovitis of the knee joint(OR=3.691, 95%CI: 2.023-6.734)and meniscal injury(OR=3.543, 95%CI: 1.911-6.442)were independent risk factors for knee joint injuries, while previous ankle joint injury(OR=0.482, 95%CI: 0.384-0.613)and wearing knee pads(OR=0.751, 95%CI: 0.623-0.924)were independent protective factors. The most prevalent injuries during high-altitude parachuting were musculotendinous injury(27.69%, 18/65), followed by meniscus injury(23.08%, 15/65), ligament injury(20.00%, 13/65), osteoarticular injury(16.92%, 11/65), and synovitis(12.31%, 8/65). These injuries usually occurred at the moment of landing(96.92%, 63/65), caused by excessive surface wind speed(28.57%, 18/63), crosswind landing(19.05%, 12/63), uneven grounds(17.46%, 11/63), wrong landing postures(12.70%, 8/63), and ground obstacles(11.11%, 7/63). Multivariate analysis showed that lengths of service ≤4 years(OR=1.111, 95%CI: 1.062-1.151), daily training durations >4 hours(OR=1.063, 95%CI: 1.011-1.114), and previous knee musculotendinous injury(OR=2.561, 95%CI: 1.323-4.972)were independent risk factors. Conclusion Parachuting training is likely to cause injuries, so a well-conceived training program involving good planning and effective protection can reduce the incidence of knee joint injuries during parachuting training.

    Objective To study the changes in physiological indicators of the human body in hypoxic environments and explore the physiological indicators that can be quantified to assess the degree of hypoxia. Methods In October 2023, 16 male staff members from the Air Force Medical Center were selected as the subjects and were randomly divided into a sedentary group and a mental workload group. Hypoxia tests were conducted at simulated altitudes of 1 500, 2 500, 3 000, 4 000, 5 000, 6 000, 7 000, and 7 500 m in the hypobaric chamber. Results The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that levels of blood oxygen saturation impacted the duration of hypoxia(B=3.283, 95%CI: 1.896-4.670). The curves for changes in levels of blood oxygen saturation with the duration of hypoxia at different altitudes were fitted, and the duration of hypoxia at which levels of blood oxygen saturation decreased to the target critical value at each altitude was determined. Conclusion During acute high-altitude hypoxia, the levels of blood oxygen saturation can make a difference in the duration of hypoxia. This study is expected to contribute to related identification, early warning and interventions.
