    Objective To analyze the disease spectrum of grounded fighter pilots in terms of types of disease, patterns of change over time, and influencing factors so as to provide data for disease prevention, treatment, and health maintenance of fighter pilots in China. Methods The literature on disease spectrums of grounded fighter pilots was retrieved from the Chinese and English databases as of June 2022. After screening, the included literature was selected. The combination rate and publication bias of different components of disease were calculated using STATA 17 software before an appropriate effect model was chosen based on the heterogeneity test results. Subgroup analysis was made according to the time investigation was conducted to study the change of the disease spectrum, and Chi-squared test was performed using SPSS 26 software to find out whether the difference was statistically significant. Results Thirteen articles were included, involving 2 519 grounded pilots. Meta analysis results showed that the top ten diseases were occupational aviation diseases(18%), nervous system diseases(14%), motor system diseases(12%), cardiovascular diseases(12%), digestive system diseases(11%), psychosocial diseases(8%), respiratory system diseases(6%), ophthalmic diseases(5%), urinary system diseases(3%)and metabolic diseases(3%). After 2010, the prevalence of occupational aviation diseases(χ2=88.40, P<0.001), nervous system diseases(χ2=5.98, P=0.014)and digestive system diseases(χ2=23.87, P<0.001)among grounded fighter pilots decreased while the incidence of motor system diseases(χ2=12.32, P<0.001), cardiovascular diseases(χ2=18.46, P<0.001) and respiratory diseases(χ2=34.77, P<0.001)increased. The difference was of statistical significance. Conclusion In the spectrum of diseases among grounded fighter pilots, the top two are occupational aviation diseases and nervous system diseases. The prevalence of motor system diseases, cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases has been on the rise in recent years. Related institutions need to take precautions to keep fighter pilots healthy in China and reduce the medical grounding rate.

    Objective To conduct cluster analysis of 12 anthropometric indicators and to explore the relationships between fasting insulin(FINS), annual flight time and obesity among civil aviation pilots. Methods A total of 1,250 male pilots in East China who underwent physical examinations and auxiliary examinations in Shanghai Hospital between September 2021 and February 2022 were selected to have their height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference and body fat percentage(PBF)determined using an Inbody body composition analyzer. The data on their aircraft types and duration of flight in 2021 was obtained via a questionnaire survey. Twelve anthropometric indicators were used for cluster analysis using principal component analysis, and the relationships between fasting insulin(FINS), annual flight time of civil aviation and anthropometric indicators were analyzed using multiple linear regression models to validate the cluster analysis of anthropometric indicators. Results After suitability testing of the 12 anthropometric variables, factor analysis was conducted, and three common factors were extracted using the principal component method, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 95.29%. Linear regression was used to calculate standardized score coefficients. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that fasting insulin was related to annual flight time and the three common factors(partial regression coefficients of three common factors were 12.37, 8.90 and 6.78, all P<0.001), with central obesity making the greatest difference to elevated fasting insulin levels. Conclusion All the three common factors are found to be related to elevated fasting insulin levels, especially the central obesity factor, suggesting the clinical predictive value of anthropocentric indicators.

    Objective To accomplish simulated design of experiments for detection of impulse noise from explosive cutting during aircraft escape in order to protect against hearing damage. Methods The relationship between the proportional distance of the overpressure estimation of the impulse noise from explosion cutting during aircraft escape and the point of measurement of bombing in the cockpit of the aircraft was analyzed according to the overpressure evaluation standard stipulated in the safety threshold of auditory damage by impulse noise. Then, simulated design was initiated based on the spatial and temporal characteristics of the instantaneous ejection of the pilot and on the ejection design of the aircraft cockpit and seat. The instantaneous scenario of explosion cutting during aircraft escape was analyzed and simulated. An experimental platform was built with adjustable points of explosion and measurement that were accurately simulated in each posture of the seat. Finally, ground experiments for detection of explosion cutting were carried out and data was collected and analyzed. Results The simulated design was completed based on the cockpit scenario of explosive cutting during aircraft escape. The values of impulse noise overpressure calculated by the two experiments were 165.9 dB and 165.2 dB, respectively. The results of simulated experiments were consistent with the peak value of impulse noise of the measurement curve. In the experiment, the sound insulation value of the helmet was 21.8 dB and the actual value of sound insulation of the helmet was 22 dB. Conclusion The simulated design of experiments for detection of impulse noise from explosion cutting during aircraft escape can provide data for pilots' protection against hearing damage and other research.

    Objective To find out whether the equipment training and high-intensity interval training(HIIT) methods can resist heat stress effectively by monitoring the physiological indicators of the human body during training. Methods Twenty-four male volunteers were assigned randomly to the equipment group(EQUIP), high-intensity interval training group(HIIT); and the non-acclimated control group(CON), respectively. The equipment group completed nine(training for 10 minutes on each equipment)equipment training sessions(90 minutes, 35 ℃ and 70% RH)while the HIIT group accomplished eight(8 exercises, triplicate training for each exercise)HIIT training sessions(40 minutes, 35 ℃ and 70% RH)for ten consecutive days. Both groups rested on the sixth day and all participants completed heat stress tests(HST)at 35 ℃ and 70% RH before(HST1)and after(HST2)training sessions. Throughout training sessions and HST, the rectal temperature(Tre), skin temperature(Tsk)and heart rate(HR)were recorded. Results It was found that the Tre, average Tsk and average HR of the equipment group and the HIIT group at HST2 were significantly lower than those at CON and HST1(P<0.05). During the training sessions, the Tre of the equipment group began to decrease significantly on the 3rd day and remained unchanged from the 5th to the 10th day(38.1 ℃~38.2 ℃). However, the Tre of the HIIT group decreased significantly on the 8th day, and remained between 38.4℃~38.5 ℃ from the 8th to 10th day. The HIIT group had a higher rate of perspiration than the equipment group(t=2.289~4.795, P≤0.001~0.038), but there was no difference in this rate within the group(P>0.05). Analysis led to the mathematical equation:T2 = 0.301 + 0.984 T1 + 0.01 HRmax(R2=0.578, P<0.001). Conclusion Equipment training can effectively improve the tolerance of the human body to heat stress, and provide feasible measures for improving heat tolerance of pilots.

    Objective To investigate the current competence and expectations of 2 047 flight cadets who were born after 2 000 and 86 instructors in aviation schools in China. Methods A total of 2 047 flight cadets and 86 instructors were investigated. The revised competence questionnaire was used to evaluate their competence. Paired analysis was used to reveal the differences between their current competence and expected levels. Results The current competence of the cadets exceeded the theoretical average. The cadets' evaluation of current factors of competence was lower than that of expected competence(Z=-37.918, -37.383, -36.925, -37.721, -37.008, all P<0.001). The same was true of instructors(Z=-7.428, -7.062, -7.406, -7.278, -7.235, all P<0.001), but the cadets' evaluation of current factors of competency was higher than that of instructors(Z=2.47, 3.34, 3.35, 3.39, 2.98, P=0.014, 0.001, 0.001, 0.001, 0.003), so was their evaluation of the expected factors of competence(Z=8.71, 10.05, 8.92, 11.04, 9.30, all P<0.001). In addition, ideological competence was considered the most important by cadets and instructors alike. Conclusion The cadets' competence remains to be improved. Ideological competence is considered the most important competence among cadets and instructors. There is a need to synchronize the expectations of competence as well as the importance of different competence factors among cadets and instructors.

    Objective To study the effect of flight height of medical rescue aircraft on the efficacy of sputum suction on board. Methods The internal environment of medical rescue aircraft at flying heights of 0 m, 1 000 m, 2 350 m, 3 350 m, and 4 300 m above sea level was simulated using low-pressure chambers. Artificial sputum of the same viscosity was used as the sample for experimentation. The same sputum suction equipment and procedures were adopted during the sputum suction test for the injured. The time taken by sputum suction was recorded separately. Results Under simulated conditions of a medical rescue helicopter flying at five different altitudes from the ground, the time required to suction 5 ml of simulated sputum gradually increased as the simulated flight altitude increased. The suction time at a height of 0, 1 000, 2 350, 3 350 m and 4 300 m respectively was(4.26±1.13), (5.09±0.30), (9.37±1.00), (11.75±0.78)s and(15.54±0.92)s. The results of the analysis of variance showed that there was no statistically significant difference(P=0.27)between the sputum suction time at a flight altitude of 1 000 m and 0 m, while the differences in sputum suction time at flight altitudes of 2 350, 3 350, 4 300 m and 0 m were all statistically significant(all P<0.001). The pairwise comparison results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the suction time at heights of 2 350 m and 1 000 m(P<0.001), 3 350 m and 2 350 m(P<0.001), and 4 300 m and 3 350 m(P<0.001). Conclusion The increase in flight altitude of medical rescue aircraft will increase the time required for each sputum suction, reducing the efficiency of sputum suction and increasing the risk of suffocation for patients. As flight altitude increases, effective measures such as increasing negative pressure and humidifying the airway should be taken to ensure the effectiveness of sputum suction on board.

    Objective To find out about the mental health status and related changes among military personnel in scattered and remote troops in the past ten years, and to provide data for mental health assessment and interventions. Methods The literature that met the criteria for assessment was retrieved from CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases using SCL-90 before meta-analysis was conducted using meta-package in R software. Results Sixteen studies were included after data screening, involving 5 375 subjects, whose scores of depression, interpersonal sensitivity, somatization, and anxiety factors were significantly higher than the military norm(2016 version)(WMD = 0.29, 0.26, 0.26, and 0.24, respectively while P values were<0.001). The subgroup test showed that scores of interpersonal sensitivity and obsessive-compulsive factors were different between geographical groups(Q=12.8, 5.83, P<0.01, =0.05). Meta-regression analysis showed that score of interpersonal sensitivity was influenced by the year the study was conducted and by the sample size of the experimental group, the score of depression factors was affected by the sample size of the experimental group while the score of hostility factors varied according to the age of the subjects. Conclusion The psychological health status of military personnel in scattered and remote troops is significantly lower than the military norm(the 2016 version). The problems involve depression, interpersonal sensitivity, somatization and anxiety.

    Objective To explore the effects of simultaneous physical activities on subjective load perception, work performance and heart rate variability(HRV)in the process of accomplishing cognitive tasks. Methods Thirty-three eligible male subjects completed 2-back cognitive tasks under three isotonic physical load conditions(0, 3, 5 Kg)of the left upper limb(with one week interval between conditions), and their ECG signals were collected during the whole process. After the task, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration-Task load index(NASA-TLX)scale was used to evaluate the subjective task load of the subjects, and their cognitive performance(mean reaction time, correct rate, etc.)was recorded. Results Compared with none physical activity, moderate physical and high physical activities significantly increased subjects' subjective load during cognitive tasks(t=2.235~14.841, all P<0.05), average reaction time(t=-2.263, -3.284, P=0.031, 0.002)and the wrong responsing rate of cognitive tasks(Z=-2.978, P=0.003). At the same time, the physical load also significantly increased the operator's heart rate(Z=-4.899, P<0.001)and the low-frequency power value of heart rate variability(Z=-2.253, P=0.024), while high frequency components were significantly decreased(Z=-2.010, P=0.044). However, there was no statistical difference in functional status between medium and high physical load(P>0.05). Conclusion During cognitive tasks, the physical load of the operator will further intensify the perception of task load, reduce execution ability, and cause the increase of sympathetic nerve tension. The results of this research provide a theoretical basis for the real-time evaluation of pilots' mental load in flight.

    Objective To analyze the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and related influencing factors in military aircrews, and to provide reference for aviation and health support for pilots. Methods A retrospective survey was used to collect health care data on hospitalized military aircrews in the Air Force Characteristic Medical Center between 2020 and 2021. The prevalence of hyperlipidemia was compared between these patients grouped according to aircraft types, length of flight, jobs, BMI, history of alcohol consumption, history of smoking, blood pressure, age and uric acid levels, respectively. Results The prevalence of hyperlipidemia among the 926 military aircrews was as high as 17.7%. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of hyperlipidemia between aircrews for different aircraft types and jobs, But there was significant difference between aircrews with different lengths of flight(χ2=32.61, P=0.001). The prevalence of hyperlipidemia was significantly higher among aircrews with hypertension, high uric acid levels and high body mass index than in the normal group(χ2=10.13, 18.82, 33.59, all P=0.001). Hyperlipidemia was more common among aircrews who smoked cigarettes, and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=20.58, P=0.001). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that smoking status, body mass index, blood pressure, and uric acid levels were influencing factors of hyperlipidemia(OR=3.080, 1.489, 3.760, 1.629, P<0.001、=0.025、<0.001、=0.026). Conclusion The prevalence of hyperlipidemia is high among aircrews. Smoking, body mass index, blood pressure and uric acid levels are the influencing factors of hyperlipidemia. Aviation health support should focus on the development of healthy lifestyles among aircrews.

    Objective To evaluate the effects of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)infection on cardiopulmonary function of military aircrews, and to explore methods for aeromedical assessment of post-infection military aircrews. Methods The twenty military aircrews infected with COVID-19 who were hospitalized and underwent physical examination in the 900th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Team were selected as the experimental group while another twenty military aircrews without COVID-19 infection that matched in gender, age, BMI and hours of flight were selected as the matched group. Resting pulmonary function test and cardiopulmonary exercise test were performed to evaluate cardiopulmonary function. According to the results of health checkups, the post-infection aeromedical assessment of the military aircrews was carried out in combination with the types of aircraft and jobs. Results The comparison of resting pulmonary function between the two groups showed that there was no significant difference in forced vital capacity(FVC), peak expiratory flow(PEF), forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1), forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC), maximal expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity(MEF50), maximal expiratory flow at 75% of forced vital capacity(MEF75), maximal voluntary ventilation(MVV)or the corresponding measured value/predicted value percentage(all P>0.05). Results of cardiopulmonary exercise tests in both groups showed that the pea exercise power(LOAD), peak oxygen uptake(VO2peak), peak oxygen uptake/kilogram(VO2peak/kg), anaerobic threshold(AT), anaerobic threshold/kilogram(AT/kg), peak metabolic equivalents(METS), peak oxygen pulse(O2pulse max), peak ventilation volume(VE)and the corresponding percentage of measured value/predicted value in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the matched group(t=2.611~6.114, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in heart rate recovery(HRR), maximum heart rate(HRmax), or respiratory exchange ratio(RER)between the two groups(all P>0.05). The aeromedical assessment of twenty military aircrews infected with COVID-19 showed that eighteen of them were qualified for flying(two of them were confined to flying observation)and two military aircrews were temporarily grounded. Conclusion COVID-19 infection can significantly reduce the cardiopulmonary function of military aircrews, which poses a threat to flight safety. For the purpose of more effective aeromedical assessment, it is recommended that military aircrews within 2 months of COVID-19 infection be required to undergo cardiopulmonary exercise tests(CPET)prior to resumption of flight.

    Objective To investigate the risk factors of cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)in pilots. Methods The clinical data of pilots who were hospitalized at the Air Force Characteristic Medical Center between January 2019 and December 2022 was retrospectively analyzed. The case group consisted of 72 pilots who were diagnosed with CSVD by MRI(n=72), while the control group was composed of 72 pilots who were selected randomly at the ratio of 1:1 and showed no abnormality as confirmed by MRI(n=72). The differences in risk factors of CSVD and in flight factors between the two groups were studied. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of small cerebral vascular disease in pilots. Results White matter hypertensity(WMH)and enlarged perivascular space(EPVS)were more common in the CSVD group of pilots. There was a combination of multiple imaging subtypes, and there were far more risk factors in the CSVD group than in the control group. Single factor analysis showed that the total flight time and annual flight time in the CSVD group were longer than in the control group [1 875.00(517.50, 2 975.00)h vs 1 000.00(368.50, 2 200.00)h, P=0.027], [126.83(104.55, 153.35)h vs 115.77(90.50, 136.46)h, P=0.021]. The proportion of smoking pilots and those of high-performance fighters in the CSVD group was higher than in the control group [22% vs 5.6%(χ2=8.36, P=0.004)], [29.2% vs 13.9%(χ2=7.05, P=0.029)]. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that smoking(OR=3.304, 95%CI: 1.172~9.317, P=0.024), types of aircraft(OR=4.607, 95%CI: 1.596~13.298, P=0.005)and annual flight time(OR=2.699, 95%CI: 1.085~6.716, P=0.033)were risk factors for CSVD. Conclusion Smoking, types of high performance fighters and average annual flight time can impact the occurrence of CSVD in pilots.

    Objective To investigate the common psychosomatic diseases and causes among hospitalized military aircrews and those under physical examination, and to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of these diseases. Methods One thousand military aircrews who were hospitalized and underwent physical examination in the 900th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force between 2009 and 2023 were randomly selected and divided into the psychosomatic diseases group and non-psychosomatic diseases group. The medical data of these patients was collected to analyze the incidence of common psychosomatic diseases and risk factors. Results Among these military aircrews, there were 311 cases of psychosomatic diseases, including chronic back pain, chronic gastritis, essential hypertension, tension headache, arrhythmia, sleep disorders, oral ulcer, allergic rhinitis, diabetes mellitus and peptic ulcer. The total score of the Symptom Check List-90, somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, terror, paranoia, and psychogenic factor scores of military aircrews were lower than the norm of Chinese soldiers(t=2.961~11.220, all P<0.01). The total score of the Symptom Check List-90 of military aircrews with psychosomatic diseases and the scores of anxiety, somatization, paranoia, interpersonal sensitivity, depression and hostility were significantly higher than those of aircrews without(t=1.964~4.042, all P<0.05). Regular Exercise was a protective factor for the common psychosomatic diseases in military aircrews(OR=0.52, P<0.001). Overweight/obesity, smoking, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia were independent risk factors(OR=3.81, 5.11, 1.65, 1.59, P<0.001, <0.001, =0.001, =0.027). Conclusion The prevalence of psychosomatic diseases in military aircrews is high. While taking psychological interventions seriously, we should work harder to correct unhealthy lifestyles and reduce the incidence of psychosomatic diseases in military aircrews.

    Objective To investigate the efficacy of Vitapex paste and calcium hydroxide paste against apical periodontitis with sinus tract in flight personnel. Methods Sixty pilots with periapical periodontitis admitted to our hospital between 2019 and 2022 were selected as the subjects and randomly divided into two groups with 30 cases in each. The 30 patients treated with calcium hydroxide paste served as the control group while those treated with Vitapex paste combined with minocycline and ornidazole were assigned to the observation group. The therapeutic effect, levels of factors of inflammation and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed. Results The total effective rate was 100.00% in the observation group, compared with 76.67% in the control group, so the difference was statistically significant(χ2=5.822, P=0.016). There was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups before treatment(t=0.079, 0.112, 0.261, P=0.938, 0.911, 0.795), but the VAS score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group 14 days after treatment(t=2.925, 2.516, 9.068, P=0.005, 0.015, <0.001). Adverse reactions included stomach discomfort, infections and headache. The incidence of adverse reactions was 10.00% in the observation group and 3.33% in the control group, so there was no significant difference between the two groups(χ2=0.268, P=0.605). Conclusion Vitapex paste combined with minocycline and ornidazole is effective in treating periapical periodontitis, which can help control bacterial infections of teeth of the flight personnel and quicken dental diagnosis and treatment during recuperation so that they can return to work sooner.

    Objective To establish a rat fracture model to study the regulatory effects of dexmedetomidine on anxiety and hippocampal neuroinflammation caused by fractures in rats. Methods Forty adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups in a free drinking water mode: the control group(blank control group), DEX group(dexmedetomidine group), surgery group (right femur osteotomy), and surgery +DEX group(intraperitoneally injected with 12μg/ kg DEX after fracture). At 6 h, 24 h and 7 d after the establishment of the model, the anxiety of the rats was measured via fright response, the expressions of inflammatory factors(TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6)in the serum and hippocampal tissue of the rats were detected by ELISA, and the apoptotic cells in the hippocampus were quantified by TUNEL staining. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, nNOS, NOX2, 4-HNE, Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in the hippocampus. Results Compared with the control group, the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 and the mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the hippocampus of the operation group were increased(P<0.001), and the number of apoptotic cells was increased. The expression levels of Bcl-2(P<0.001)and nNOS(P=0.001)in hippocampus were decreased, while the expression levels of Bax(P<0.001)and 4-HNE(P=0.001), NOX2(P=0.003)and ROS(P=0.009)in hippocampus were increased. The serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 and the mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in hippocampal tissue were decreased in the operation +DEX group(P<0.001), the number of apoptotic cells and the level of Bax protein were significantly decreased(P=0.008). The levels of 4-HNE(P<0.001),NOX2(P<0.001)and ROS(P=0.008)in hippocampus were decreased, while the expression levels of Bcl-2(P=0.005)in neurons and nNOS(P<0.001)in hippocampus were increased. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can significantly improve the anxiety state, reduce neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis in rats with fractures.

    Objective To study intestinal flora changes in patients with ischemic stroke, and to explore their correlations with prognosis and T helper cell type 1/T helper cell type 2(Th1/Th2)immune cell balance. Methods One hundred and six patients with ischemic stroke admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and March 2022 were enrolled and received intravenous thrombolytic therapy. After discharge, the prognosis of patients was evaluated using the Modified Rankin Scale(mRS)after 90-day follow-up. These patients were divided into the good group(mRS score ≤2, n=71)and poor group(3 <mRS score <6, n=35)according to the mRS score. The intestinal flora composition and levels of Th1/Th2 and related cytokines were compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to reveal the correlations between the relative abundance of intestinal flora and the levels of Th1/Th2 and related cytokines in these patients. Results Chaol index and Shannon index were lower in the poor group than in the good group(t=7.025, 5.033, all P<0.001). The abundance of Firmicutes and Prevotella was decreased in the poor group(t=11.475, 6.514, all P<0.001), while the abundance of Bacteroides and Escherichia was increased compared with the good group(t=19.289, 7.826, all P<0.001). The poor group had elevated serum levels of interleukin-2(IL-2)and interferon-γ(IFN-γ)(t=12.685, 25.814, all P<0.001)but decreased levels of Th1/Th2, IL-4 and IL-5 compared with the good group(t=5.066, 12.793, 11.476, all P<0.001). The results of Pearson correlation analysis suggested that Bacteroidetes and Escherichia were negatively correlated with Th1/Th2, IL-4, and IL-5(r=-0.604~-0.376, P<0.05), but positively with IL-2 and IFN-γ(r=0.439~0.623, all P<0.05). Firmicutes, Prevotella, Chao1 index, and Shannon index were positively correlated with Th1/Th2, IL-4, and IL-5(r=0.428~0.623, P<0.05), but negatively with IL-2 and IFN-γ(r=-0.584~-0.397, P<0.05). Conclusion Changes in intestinal flora in patients with ischemic stroke are associated with poor prognosis and levels of Th1/Th2 and related cytokines.

    Objective To explore the mechanism of action of naringin in the treatment of atherosclerosis based on network pharmacology and vitro cellular assays. Methods The PubChem platform and Pharmmapper online analysis platform were used to obtain targets of naringin, and Genecards, PharmGkb, TTD, Disgenet and Drugbank databases were searched for targets related to atherosclerosis diseases. The protein-protein interaction network was constructed to screen for the core targets while the main pathways and target proteins were screened via GO and KEGG enrichment analyses. Molecular docking was performed to determine the molecular basis of the interactions between naringin and the core targets. In vitro experiments were conducted with human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)to verify the predicted results. Results A total of 220 potential targets of naringin were screened, 5 253 targets were related to atherosclerosis, and 94 co-acting targets were identified. GO functional annotation resulted in a total of 281 entries, including 215 biological processes, 25 cellular components, and 41 molecular functions. KEGG enrichment revealed a total of 36 pathways related to therapies for atherosclerosis. The molecular docking results demonstrated that naringin bound well to the five core targets. The results of cellular experiments showed that naringin could significantly reduce the migration and adhesion ability of HUVEC. Conclusion Naringin may inhabit atherosclerosis by regulating lipids, proteoglycan in cancer and MAPK signaling pathways through such key targets as the kinase insert domain receptor, recombinant plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 which exert anti-atherosclerosis effects by regulating endothelial cell function, angiogenesis, cell proliferation and apoptosis.

    Objective Investigate the situation of neck and back pain in flight pilots and cadets, analyze the relevant risk factors, and provide reference for the early and targeted prevention and treatment of neck and back pain in flight pilots and cadets. Methods A questionnaire was used to investigate the incidence of neck and low back pain among pilots, the questionnaire included basic information, military training, physical training, and neck and back pain. 272 flight personnel divided into the instructor group and cadet group. Both groups were re-divided into a group with neck and low back pain and one without. Univariate analysis was conducted to identify risk factors for neck and low back pain. Results Among the 272 pilots, 75(27.6%)suffered from neck and low back pain, including 15 cadets(9.3%)and 60 instructors(54.5%), so the difference was statistically significant(χ2=67.279, P<0.001). Forty-one pilots were afflicted with chronic neck and low back pain(15.1%), including 4 cadets(2.5%)and 37 instructors(33.6%), and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=49.714, P<0.001). The difference in the incidence of neck and back pain between pilots of different age groups, BMI, and flight time was statistically significant(χ2=64.022, 23.585, 73.262, all P<0.001). The incidence among pilots ages 31 and older, with a BMI of above 24 kg/m2and a flight time over 1 000 h was higher than among those ages 30 and younger, whose BMI was below 24 kg/m2 and flight time was 1 000 h or less(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in military training, physical training, and neck and back pain among flight trainees and instructors with or without neck and back pain in each group(all P<0.05). The risk factors for neck and low back pain among pilots included a cumulative flight time of over 1 000~2 000 h(OR=14.191, 95%CI: 4.213~47.802, P<0.001)and 2 000 h(OR=18.412, 95%CI: 6.850~49.492, P<0.001), invasive treatment(OR=13.835, 95%CI: 2.264~84.549, P=0.004), poor posture(OR=3.937, 95%CI: 1.649~9.398, P=0.002)and improper methods of exercise(OR=2.735, 95%CI: 1.096~6.824, P=0.002). The risk factors in the instructor group included a flight time of over 1 000~2 000 h(OR=115.580, 95%CI: 3.164~4 221.890, P=0.010)and 2 000 h(OR=197.790, 95%CI: 5.226~7 486.187, P=0.004), lack of guidance for prevention and treatment of neck and low back pain(OR=20.010, 95%CI: 3.932~101.836, P<0.001), poor posture at ordinary times(OR=4.586, 95%CI: 1.232~17.075, P=0.023)and too long a single flight(OR=5.346, 95%CI: 1.347~21.212, P=0.017). Conclusion The prevention and treatment of neck and low back pain require attention to both flight related factors and non-flight factors so as to effectively reduce the prevalence of neck and low back pain among flight personnel.

    Objective To find out whether electrodermal activity(EDA)can be used for accurate assessment of motion sickness in order to provide reference for precise medical selection of teenager flying cadets. Methods A total of 350 students were selected randomly from teenager aviation schools who attended the final stage of medical selection. A 90-second Coriolis acceleration endurance test was performed among these students. A wearable monitoring system was used to collect EDA at the same time. The Graybiel method was adopted to evaluate autonomic nerve symptoms. According to the Graybiel score, it is divided into Group A: Graybiel=0 points, Group B: Graybiel score 1~2 points, and Group C: Graybiel ≥ 3 points. The correlation between changes in EDA and Graybiel scores was analyzed. Results With the subjects with incomplete indicators excluded, 301 students were included in this study. It was found that EDA was significantly increased in students with motion sickness, who were divided into three groups according to the total Graybiel scores: 0 point(n=173), 1~2 points(n=102), and ≥3 points(n=26)groups. The post-test skin conductance reaction(SCR)and skin conductance level(SCL)were significantly higher in the last two groups than in the first group(H=-5.408, -6.781, -3.002, -2.772, P<0.001, <0.001, =0.008, =0.017). The pre-test SCL was significantly higher in the second group than in the first group(H=-3.019, P=0.008). Conclusion Our results indicate that EDA can be a useful index for objective evaluation of motion sickness. Real-time EDA data combined with Graybiel scores can help identify motion sickness during medical selection of Air Force cadets.

    Objective To find out about the current incidence of xerophthalmia in military pilots and analyze the causes. Methods A total of 660 military pilots who sought treatment at the 988th Hospital of the Logistic Support Force between March 2021 and January 2023 were selected as the subjects. A survey involving questionnaires about basic information, Ocular Surface Disease Index(OSDI)surveys, and ophthalmological examinations were conducted. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the factors contributing to xerophthalmia in military pilots, and factors with statistically significant differences were analyzed using binary logistic regression analysis. Results The results of OSDI showed that 45.45%(300/660)of the pilots had signs of dry eyes, including mild dry eye signs(81.67%, 245/300), moderate dry eye signs(10.00%, 30/300)and severe dry eye signs(8.33%, 25/300). Based on diagnostic criteria for xerophthalmia, pilots diagnosed with xerophthalmia accounted for 8.94%(59/660). Logistic regression showed that the age ranged from 41 to 50 years(OR=3.089, P=0.010). Total flight time: >1 500~2 500 h(OR=6.352, P=0.003), >2 500~3 500 h(OR=4.626, P=0.010), >3 500~5 000 h(OR=9.210, P<0.001), >5 000 h or more(OR=26.577, P=0.001). Frequent dry mouth during flight(OR=5.924, P=0.032), daily use of video display terminal >4 h(OR=4.631, P=0.005)were the risk factors for dry eyes. And watching video display terminal >1 h without resting eyes(OR=0.143, P<0.001)was the protective factor for dry eyes. Conclusion The prevalence of xerophthalmia among military pilots is relatively high, suggesting the need to exercise more effective control over xerophthalmia as required by pilots in order to prevent the occurrence and progression of xerophthalmia.

    Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of pregnancy-associated fulminant type-1 diabetes. Methods The clinical data of 43 patients with pregnancy-associated fulminant type-1 diabetes collected from domestic and foreign databases, and of 5 patients from our hospital was included for analysis. Results The majority(62.5%)of patients had onset of symptoms in the third trimester of pregnancy. Gastrointestinal symptoms and hyperglycemic symptoms were common. Eight cases(16.7%)of live birth were reported, There is no statistically significant difference in live birth rates between domestic and international patients. The average interval between onset and treatment was 0.50 for foreign patients, compared with 2.19 for domestic ones with a significant difference(t=2.060, P=0.045). Meanwhile, no significant difference was observed in results of laboratory tests, such as glucose levels, blood sodium or potassium concentrations(P>0.05). However, there was significant difference in the onset of gestational age between patients with live birth and those with fetal loss(35.17 weeks vs.32.54 weeks, t=2.076, P=0.047). There is no statistically significant difference between other clinical features. Conclusion Patients with pregnancy-associated fulminant type-1 diabetes are likely to present with various clinical manifestations, which rapidly progress to critical illness with a high percentage of fetal loss. Obstetricians should be alert to this risk in order to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes through early intervention.
