Motion sickness refers to a multi-system physiological syndrome caused by abnormal acceleration and motion vision scene immersion.It occurs commonly in transportation,military operations,space exploration and other fields.This article reviews recent advances in mechanism,prediction and assessment as well as control measures for motion sickness,and discusses possible research direction of motion sickness in the future.The biological basis for motion sickness sensory conflict theory has been expanded;genomic sequencing and artificial intelligence techniques have been used as novel tools for motion sickness prediction and evaluation.Acclimatization training,anti-motion sickness medication and non-drug symptom control measures used in combination is the key for motion sickness prevention and treatment.

Objective To observe the changes of plasma gastrointestinal hormones in motion sickness sensitive and insensitive individuals before and after vertical oscillation stimulation,and to construct a susceptibility prediction model for motion sickness.Methods A total of 60 healthy male volunteers were enrolled to receive sinusoidal vertical oscillation stimulation for 45 min.The motion sickness susceptibility questionnaire(MSSQ)was filled out before the experiment.Immediately after motion,the severity of motion sickness was evaluated by Graybiel scale.The motion sickness sensitive(Graybiel score≥8 and MSSQ susceptibility index＞21,n=15)and insensitive(Graybiel score≤2 and MSSQ susceptibility index＜5,n=15)participants were screened.Plasma levels of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1),cholecystokinin(CCK),leptin,ghrelin,neuropeptide Y(NPY)and orexin A(OXA)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before and after vertical oscillation stimulation.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the predictive effect of plasma gastrointestinal hormone levels on susceptibility to motion sickness,and a combined predictive model was established.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze predictive value of the model.Results Ghrelin and CCK levels were significantly increased in the sensitive group after stimulation compared with those before stimulation(both P＜0.01),while NPY and leptin levels were significantly decreased(both P＜0.01).Similar results were also observed when compared with the insensitive group after stimulation.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that plasma ghrelin,CCK and NPY were independent predictors of susceptibility to motion sickness.The established susceptibility prediction model for motion sickness was logit(P)=-0.051 ×ghrelin+0.060× NPY-0.169 ×CCK+33.397.ROC curve analysis showed that area under curve(AUC)value of the prediction model was 0.988,the sensitivity and specificity were 100.0％and 93.3％,respectively,and the prediction effect was better than ghrelin,CCK and NPY alone(AUC=0.792,0.880,0.838).Conclusion The changes of peripheral gastrointestinal appetite regulating hormone levels may be related to the susceptibility to motion sickness.The combined use of these indicators can predict the susceptibility to motion sickness.

Objective To explore the improving effects of motion sickness acclimatization training methods,namely sinusoidal vertical oscillation stimulation and sinusoidal vertical oscillation stimulation combined with visual virtual reality(VR)swell stimulation,on cognitive performance of individuals with extremely severe motion sickness.Methods A total of 90 individuals with extremely severe motion sickness screened by the Graybiel score during 6 h navigation were randomly divided into vertical group,vertical+VR group,and control group(n=30).The abilities of vigilance,memory,rapid calculation,information processing and visual manipulation were evaluated before and after the acclimatization training using a self-developed cognitive performance evaluation software.Results On the 1st day of training,the numbers of missed targets of the vertical group and vertical+VR group were increased in the vigilance test;the reaction time was prolonged in the short-term memory,rapid calculation,information processing and visual manipulation tasks;and the efficiency of rapid calculation was reduced.After acclimatization training,the numbers of missed targets were reduced to the baseline level in the vertical and vertical+VR groups,and the reaction time in the short-term memory,rapid calculation,information processing and visual manipulation tasks and the efficiency of rapid calculation were improved.Conclusion Motion sickness caused by vertical oscillation stimulation or vertical oscillation combined with visual VR swell stimulation can decrease vigilance,short-term memory,rapid calculation,information processing and visual manipulation abilities.Motion sickness acclimatization training can significantly improve the above cognitive abilities.

Objective To study the acclimatization time and effects for preventing motion sickness under sinusoidal vertical oscillation stimulation,visual virtual reality(VR)swell stimulation,and their combined stimulation.Methods Totally 120 individuals with extremely severe motion sickness during 6 h navigation were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=30):vertical group,VR group,vertical+VR group,and control group.The severity of symptoms during the training period was assessed daily by Graybiel scale,and the number of drops from flexible treadmill in the VR group was recorded.The Graybiel score of 0 for 3 d and/or the number of drops for 0 were considered as complete acclimatization.The training effect was validated by navigation under more severe sea conditions.Results The Graybiel scores of the vertical group and vertical+VR group,as well as the number of drops of the VR group were decreased with the increase of training days,and reached the acclimatization level on the 3rd,5th,and 2nd training day,respectively.The longest acclimatization time in the vertical,vertical+VR,and VR groups was 8,8,and 5 d,with an average acclimatization time of 3.6,3.9,and 2.7 d,respectively;the acclimatization rates within 5 d were 93.33％(28/30),76.67％(23/30),and 100.00％(30/30),respectively;the proportions of individuals with effective acclimatization training in the verification voyage were 86.67％(26/30),96.67％(29/30),and 66.67％(20/30),respectively;and the training efficiency was 85.19％,96.30％,and 62.97％,respectively.Conclusion Three training methods all have effects on motion sickness acclimatization,and the acclimatization period is 5-8 d.The acclimatization effects of the vertical oscillation and vertical oscillation+VR training are better than the VR training.

Objective To observe the effect of the supine-posture ripple wood training in preventing motion sickness caused by linear acceleration.Methods Totally 61 motion sickness sensitive males were screened by a vertical oscillation simulator and divided into mildly sensitive group(Graybiel score 1-15,n=28)and severely sensitive group(Graybiel score 16,n=33).The participants in the 2 groups received 5-d ripple wood training,30 min/d.The movement frequency of the ripper wood was maintained at 0.25-0.35 Hz,with an acceleration of 0.15-0.25 g.Graybiel score during the training period was recorded.The static balance function test was conducted before and after training on the 1st and 5th day.Results During the training period,the Graybiel scores and motion sickness incidence in the severely sensitive group were decreased with the increase of training days,and all participants achieved complete acclimatization on the 4th day.The Graybiel scores of the mildly sensitive group were low during the whole period,and the complete acclimatization period was 2 d.There was no significant difference in the sway area of the severely sensitive group in static balance function test before and after training(P＞0.05).The mean velocity of the severely sensitive group in static balance function test was significantly increased after training versus before training on the 1st day(P＜0.01),and there was no significant difference before and after training on the 5th day(P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the sway area or mean velocity of the mildly sensitive group during the whole training period(all P＞0.05).The validation experiment showed that the motion sickness incidence and the symptom severity were significantly decreased in both groups;the motion sickness incidence of the mildly sensitive group decreased from 100.00％(28/28)to 35.71％(10/28);the incidence of severe symptoms in the severely sensitive group decreased from 100.00％(33/33)to 6.06％(2/33)and the vomiting incidence decreased from 96.97％(32/33)to 6.06％(2/33).Conclusion The supine-posture ripple wood training has great effect in preventing motion sickness,with widespread use and simple operation.

Objective To observe the distribution characteristics of motion sickness susceptibility and compare the efficacy of modified motion sickness susceptibility questionnaire(MSSQ),motion sickness history questionnaire and Graybiel scale in evaluating motion sickness.Methods The susceptibility to motion sickness and historical symptoms were investigated using MSSQ and motion sickness history questionnaire among 1 661 males in navy units A,B,and C.A total of 389 people from the unit C were selected for simulating vertical oscillation stimulation,and the severity of motion sickness was evaluated by Graybiel scale during the stimulation process.The evaluation efficacy of MSSQ,motion sickness history questionnaire and Graybiel scale for motion sickness was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results The overall distribution of motion sickness susceptibility assessed by MSSQ and motion sickness history questionnaire in this population was right skewed.The distribution characteristics in the units A,B,and C were consistent with the overall distribution,and there was no significant difference among the 3 units.A positive correlation was observed between the MSSQ and the motion sickness history questionnaire in the units A,B,and C(rs=0.565,0.565,0.554),and both of them were comparable in assessing the incidence of motion sickness and severe motion sickness.However,the incidence of motion sickness assessed by Graybiel scale was significantly lower than that assessed by MSSQ and motion sickness history questionnaire(both P＜0.05),and the incidence of severe motion sickness was significantly higher than that assessed by MSSQ and motion sickness history questionnaire(both P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that MSSQ had good predictive value for motion sickness susceptibility and severe motion sickness(area under curve[AUC]=0.736,0.750),while the Graybiel scale had poor predictive ability(AUC=0.559,0.557).Conclusion The right skewed distribution of susceptibility to motion sickness is preliminarily determined.During the acclimatization training for motion sickness,the susceptible individuals can be screened by MSSQ and then subjected to vertical oscillation stimulation to improve the training efficiency.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Hip fracture is considered as the most severe osteoporotic fracture characterized by high disability and mortality in the elderly. Improved surgical techniques and multidisciplinary team play an active role in alleviating prognosis, which places higher demands on perioperative nursing. Dysfunction, complications, and secondary impact of anaesthesia and surgery add more difficulties to clinical nursing. Besides, there still lack clinical practices in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture in China. In this context, led by the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association, the Expert consensus on clinical practice in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2023) is developed based on the evidence-based medicine. This consensus provides 11 recommendations on elderly patients with hip fracture from aspects of perioperative health education, condition monitoring and inspection, complication risk assessment and prevention, and rehabilitation, in order to provide guiding advices for clinical practice, improve the quality of nursing and ameliorate the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture.

Hip fractures are among the most common fractures in the elderly, presenting to be a leading cause of disability and mortality. Surgical treatment is currently the main treatment method for hip fractures. The incidence of perioperative malnutrition is increased after hip fractures in the elderly due to the comorbidities, decreased basal metabolic rate, accelerated protein breakdown, weakened anabolism and surgical stress. However, malnutrition not only increases the incidence of postoperative complications, but also leads to increased mortality, indicating an important role of perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. At present, there still lacks scientific guidance and application standards on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. Therefore, the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Expert consensus on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for elderly patients with hip fractures ( version 2023) according to evidence-based medical evidences and their clinical experiences. Fourteen recommendations were made from aspects of nutrition screening, nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention and nutrition monitoring to provide guidance for perioperative nursing management of nutrition in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Objective : To explore the differences in the effects of psoriatic serum and a mixture of five proinflam⁃ matory cytokines on keratinocyte inflammation and proliferation . Methods : he human immortalized keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT cells) was used to cultivate with serum of healthy human serum , psoriasis patients and M5 factors , and the cell proliferation was monitored by CCK⁃8 . RT⁃qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors interleukin 1β/8/21 /23 (IL⁃1β/8/21 /23) , proliferation markers keratin 6/16 (K6/K16) and nucleus related antigen 67 (Ki67) in HaCaT cells in each group . Results : Healthy human serum , psoriasis serum and M5 factors could effectively promote the growth of HaCaT cells , and psoriasis serum and M5 factors could promote cell growth more than healthy human serum . Similar to M5 factors , serum from patients with psoriasis significantly promoted the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors IL⁃1β , IL⁃8 , IL⁃23 and proliferation markers K6 and Ki67 in cells . Different from M5 factors , the serum of psoriasis patients had enhanced the mRNA level of inflammatory factor IL⁃21 , but weakened the promotion of proliferation marker K16 . Conclusion The serum micro environment of patients with psoriasis can promote the proliferation and inflammatory response of keratinocytes higher than that of healthy people , and is similar to M5 factors , which can be used to build a keratinocyte model of psoriasis .
