Objective:To explore a better virtual reality (VR) aviation rescue training mode and equipment platform by comparing the application of VR gloves and handle.Methods:A control study was used. Forty undergraduate students were enrolled by using cluster sampling method in this study. They were averagely divided into VR glove group and the VR handle group. Both groups were respectively trained with VR glove and VR handle based on an aviation rescue script of the craniocerebral trauma in traffic accident and the training effect was analyzed by comparing the assessments between VR training and reality simulation. The assessment were conducted both by VR and actual operation trainings and the content included operation, evaluation judgment, and total training time consumed. After the training was completed, the students of 2 groups were investigated by questionnaire.Results:In the VR assessment, the training time for the VR handle group [(26.94±2.00) min] was lower than that of the VR glove group [(31.23±2.23) min], and the difference was significant ( t=6.42, P<0.001). In the reality simulation assessment, the operation score of the VR glove group [(37.80±7.08) points] was higher than that of the VR handle group [(30.40±6.07) points], with a significant difference ( t=3.55, P<0.001). There was no significant difference between the scores of VR assessment and reality simulation assessment in the VR glove group. The reality simulation operation score of the VR handle group [(30.40±6.07) points] was lower than the VR operation score [(36.20±8.15) points], and the difference was significant ( t=2.55, P=0.015). The reality simulation operation time [(30.25±1.66) min] was higher than the VR operation time [(26.94±2.00) min], and the difference was significant ( t=5.59, P<0.001).The scores of assessing operation diversity and the integration with reality in VR glove group were higher than that in VR handle group ( Z=-4.00, -2.00, P<0.001,=0.045), but the scores of positioning accuracy and button functions were lower ( Z=-2.30, t=5.70, P=0.022,<0.001). Conclusions:VR technology has some advantages in helicopter aviation rescue training, has a broad prospect. As the VR human-machine data exchange equipment, both gloves and handles could bring good training effect even they have their own disadvantages. It is still necessary to improve VR software and equipment, and promote the quality of air rescue training in multiple aspects.

COVID-19 is caused by a novel coronavirus-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has being spreading around the world, posing a serious threat to human health and lives. Neutralizing antibodies and small molecule inhibitors for virus replication cycle are the main antiviral treatment for novel coronavirus recommended in China. To further promote the rational use of antiviral therapy in clinical practice, the National Center for Infectious Diseases (Beijing Ditan Hospital Capital Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine) invited experts in fields of infectious diseases, respiratory and intensive care to develop an Expert Consensus on Antiviral Therapy of COVID-19 based on the Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline for COVID-19 ( trial version 10) and experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 in China. The consensus is concise, practical and highly operable, hopefully it would improve the understanding of antiviral therapy for clinicians and provide suggestions for standardized medication in treatment of COVID-19.

Objective:
To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of coronary artery calcium score ( CACS) on virtual non-contrast scan ( VNC) images obtained from coronary artery CT angiography ( CCTA) scan with dual -layer spectral detector CT (SDCT) .
Methods :
The data of 197 patients who underwent CCTA scan in hospital were analyzed retrospectively,and 88 patients with CACS >0 were further analyzed. Linear regression analysis of CACS and coronary artery calcium volume ( CACV) of true non-contrast (TNC) images and VNC images ( CACS-TNC, CACS-VNC,CACV-TNC,CACV-VNC) was performed to obtain linear regression equation and correction coefficients λ 1AVG and λ2AVG .CACS-VNC and CACV-VNC were corrected by the corresponding regression equation and recorded as CCACS-VNC and CCACV-VNC,respectively.Spearman correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis and Bland-Altman plot was used for consistency test.Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the difference between the two groups.
Results :
For the total coronary artery,there was a strong correlation between CACS- TNC and CACS-VNC (rs = 0. 952,P <0. 001 ,λ 1AVG = 2. 19 ) ,CACV-TNC and CACV-VNC ( rs = 0. 954,P < 0. 001,λ2AVG = 1. 93) .The results of Mann-Whitney U test showed that there was no significant difference between CACS-TNC and CCACS-VNC or between CACV-TNC and CCACV-VNC,and the Bland-Altman plot showed good consistency between CACS-TNC and CCACS-VNC ,CACV-TNC and CCACV-VNC.
Conclusion
VNC images based on SDCT can accurately measure CACS and be used for cardiovascular risk classification,which is expected to replace TNC scan and reduce the radiation dose of patients.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and risk factors of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) concomitant with interstitial lung disease(ILD) in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed.A total of 111 hospitalized children diagnosed with SLE in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from February 2016 to November 2018 were selected as the research subjects and divided into the SLE-ILD group(18 cases) and the SLE-non-ILD group(93 cases)according to the lung high-resolution CT manifestations. T-test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to compare and analyze the general situation, clinical manifestations and laboratory results.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of SLE-ILD. Results:The prevalence of SLE-ILD was 16.2%(18/111 cases). There were significant differences between the SLE-ILD group and the SLE-non-ILD group in the course of disease [14.00 (12.00-24.25) months vs.1.00(1.00-2.00) months], the incidence of serositis [55.6%(10/18 cases) vs.8.6%(8/93 cases)], post-activity shortness of breath [83.3%(15/18 cases) vs.25.8%(24/93 cases)], nervous system damage [27.8%(5/18 cases) vs.6.5%(6/93 cases)], cardiovascular system damage [38.9%(7/18 cases) vs.9.7%(9/93 cases)], the occu-rrence of increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate [66.7%(12/18 cases) vs.31.2%(29/93 cases)], the decreased C 3[88.9%(16/18 cases) vs.62.4%(58/93 cases)], positive anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) [88.9%(16/18 cases) vs.18.3%(17/93 cases)], positive anti-Sm antibody [61.1%(11/18 cases) vs.15.1%(14/93 cases)] and anti ribonucleoprotein antibody (anti RNP antibody)[66.7%(12/18 cases) vs.16.1%(15/93 cases)](all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that serositis( OR=30.535, 95% CI: 2.167-430.336, P=0.011), shortness of breath after exercise( OR=55.115, 95% CI: 1.117-2 579.852, P=0.041), positive ANCA( OR=65.090, 95% CI: 4.488-944.071, P=0.002) and positive anti-RNP antibody( OR=10.007, 95% CI: 1.362-73.500, P=0.024) were risk factors for SLE-ILD. Conclusions:The longer the course of SLE, the higher the incidence of ILD; serositis, shortness of breath after exercise, positive ANCA and positive anti RNP antibody may be risk factors for SLE-ILD.

Blast injury of the chest injury is the most common wound in modern war trauma and terrorist attacks, and is also the most fatal type of whole body explosion injury. Most patients with severe blast injury of the chest die in the early stage before hospitalization or during transportation, so first aid is critically important. At present, there exist widespread problems such as non-standard treatment and large difference in curative effect, while there lacks clinical treatment standards for blast injury of the chest. According to the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement, the Trauma Society of Chinese Medical Association has formulated the guidance of classification, pre-hospital first aid, in-hospital treatment and major injury management strategies for blast injury of the chest, aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To study the safety and efficacy of combining portal vein resection and reconstruction (PVR) with resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC).Methods:A total of 104 patients with PHC who underwent hepatectomies for either biliary resection alone or biliary resection combined with PVR from October 2006 to December 2019 at the Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary, Ningbo Medical Center of Lihuili Hospital entered into this study. There were 63 males and 41 females, with the age of (64.4±10.4) years. The control group consisted of 75 patients who underwent biliary resection alone, while the PVR group consisted 29 patients with biliary resection combined with PVR. The patient characteristics and the follow-up outcomes of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan Meier method with the log-rank test.Results:Wedge resection of portal vein, side to side anastomosis in 2 cases, segmental resection and end to end anastomosis in 27 cases. The time taken for PVR and portal vein resection were (12.7±2.9)(range 8 to 18)min and (20.7±7.3)(range 8 to 38) mm, respectively. The estimated blood loss for the PVR group was significantly more than the control group [ M( Q1, Q3)] 800.0 (600.0, 1 500.0) ml vs. 600.0(500.0, 1 000.0) ml ( P<0.05). Based on postoperative pathological studies, the proportion of lymph node metastasis was significantly higher in the PVR group than the control group (58.6% vs. 32.0%, P<0.05). Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ and above complications were 30.7%(23/75) and 34.5%(10/29) in the control and PVR groups, respectively ( P>0.05). The re-operation and postoperative 90 days mortality rates were 9.3%(7/75) and 2.7%(2/75) in the control group, compared with 3.4%(1/29) and 0 in the PVR group, respectively (both P>0.05). The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 81.1%, 44.8% and 36.4% respectively for the control group and 78.1%, 35.9% and 31.4% for the PVR group (χ 2=0.33, P=0.570). Conclusion:When compared to biliary resection alone, biliary resection combined with PVR did not significantly increase postoperative complication and mortality rates, but with comparable long-term survival outcomes. Combined biliary resection with PVR was safe and improved the resection rate in selected patients with locally advanced PHC.
