Objective:To find out whether the performance of a China-made high performance human centrifuge can satisfy the need of high G training by conducting physiological experiments.Methods:The dynamic physical performance of the anti-G equipment with the human centrifuge was tested before 5 subjects underwent the gradual-onset rate (GOR) run and rapid onset rate (ROR) run experiments. The G onset rate of GOR was 0.1 G/s. The relaxed G-tolerance under GOR (GOR tolerance 1) and the anti-G straining maneuver aided G-tolerance under GOR (GOR tolerance 2) were tested respectively. The G onset rate of ROR was 3 G/s, and the closed-loop mode and pre-programed mode were employed respectively. The closed-loop mode involved 5 G 10 s and 8 G 10 s, where the subjects were required to manipulate the joystick to ensure that the real-time curve of the load matched the target curve. In the pre-programmed mode, the subjects were exposed to 8 G 10 s passively, without any operation requirements. A subjective evaluation form was filled out by subjects after the experiments, in which the 14 indexes for evaluation were about the gondola facilities and environment, running processes, medical monitoring and overall assessment.Results:Both the oxygen mask and anti-G suit achieved full pressurization within 2.0 s. The GOR tolerance 1 was [4.0(3.8, 4.6)] G while the GOR tolerance 2 was (6.2±0.5) G, suggesting a statistically significant difference ( Z=-2.63, P=0.008). The HP anti-G straining maneuver effect was (2.0±0.6) G. All the 5 subjects finished the 5 G 10 s experiment in a closed-loop mode. Three of them attempted 8 G 10 s in the closed-loop mode (1 subject achieved only 7.6 G peak acceleration, and the other 2 achieved full 8 G 10 s exposure), while the remaining 2 completed the 8 G 10 s in the pre-programmed mode. In the closed-loop mode, it was found that the stick force was too strong, the guiding G and real time G curve were not easy to distinguish for some of the subjects because the curve colors were similar, and that the subjects could not see the G curves clearly in case of a grayout. Both seat comfort and the voice quality of communication got the highest subjective assessment score [5.0(4.0, 5.0)] while the sensation of tumble got the lowest score (2.8±0.8). The median or mean scores of other subjective evaluation indexes ranged from 3.0 to 4.6 points. The overall score of subjective assessment was [4.0(3.5, 4.0)] points. Conclusions:The China-made high performance human centrifuge can meet the requirements of 8.0 G high G training, which can be made more effective and comfortable if the strong stick force and feeling of tumble during stop running are overcome.

Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2024;33(1):69-74
Objective:To explore the relationship between subjective social status (SSS) and mental health (depression, anxiety, and flourishing) among medical students, and to examine the moderating role of self-compassion in this process.Methods:The Chinese version of the subjective socioeconomic status scale (CSSS), self-compassion scale (SCS), patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7) and flourishing scale (FS) were used to investigate 2 440 medical students in December 2021. SPSS 26.0 software was used for descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Multilevel regression analysis was used to investigate the moderating role of self-compassion on the relationship between SSS and mental health.Results:(1) Correlation analysis showed that SSS(5.32±1.46)was negatively correlated with depression(5.00(3.00, 8.00))and anxiety(3.00(1.00, 6.00)) ( r=-0.166, -0.128, both P<0.01), and was positively correlated with flourishing(40.69±8.45)( r=0.242, P<0.01). Self-compassion(86.63±13.16)was negatively correlated with depression and anxiety ( r=-0.538, -0.511, both P<0.01), and was positively correlated with flourishing ( r=0.543, P<0.01). (2) Multilevel regression analysis showed that SSS could significantly and negatively predict depression( β=-0.065, P<0.001), and positively predict flourishing( β=0.157, P<0.001). Self-compassion played a significantly positive moderating role in the relationship between SSS and depression( β=0.055, P<0.01), and the negative relationship between SSS and depression decreased with increasing self-compassion.Self-compassion played a significantly negative moderating role in the relationship between SSS and flourishing( β=-0.037, P<0.05), the positive relationship between SSS and flourishing decreased with increasing self-compassion. Conclusion:SSS can predict mental health of medical students.Self-compassion plays a moderating role in the relationship between SSS and mental health and can mitigate the damage of low SSS on the mental health of medical students.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Dayuanyin decoction (DYY) on lung injury and gut microbiota in mice with RSV-Hanshi yufei syndrome. METHODS Thirty-six BALB/c mice were divided into the normal group (NC group), model group (MC group), positive control group (LBM group, 57.59 mg/kg ribavirin), DYY low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (LDYY,MDYY,HDYY groups,1.67,3.34,6.68 g/kg,calculated by crude drug), with 6 mice in each group. Except for NC group, RSV-Hanshi yufei syndrome model was induced by “Hanshi modeling+RSV infection”; after the second cold and wet stimulation, RSV solution was dripped into the nasal cavity at 50% tissue culture infectious dose, once a day, for 3 consecutive days; each administration group was given corresponding solution intragastrically 4 hours after each nasal drip, once a day, for 5 consecutive days. The levels of motilin (MTL) and gastrin (GAS) in serum, the levels of IL-6 and IL-1β in supernatant of lung tissue, and the percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes were all determined. The pathological changes of lungs were observed, and the changes of gut microbiota were analyzed. RESULTS Compared with MC group, the levels of MTL in serum (except for HDYY group), and the levels of IL-6 and IL-1β in supernatant of lung tissue were all decreased significantly in DYY groups, while the level of GAS (except for HDYY group) in serum was increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The pathology of lung tissue was improved, the percentage of T lymphocytes in LDYY group and the percentages of T lymphocyte and B lymphocyte in MDYY group were all increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the NC group, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroides, Alistipes, Bacteroidota, Bacteroides acidfaciens and Alloprevotella were expressed in high abundance, while Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group, Kineothrix and Clostridiales unclassified were expressed in low abundance. After the intervention of medium-dose DYY, the relative abundance of each microbiota tended to be adjusted back, with different species including Lachnospiraceae_UCG-Ruminococcus, etc. CONCLUSIONS Dayuanyin decoctioncan reduce the lung injury caused by RSV, the mechanism of which may be associated with relieving inflammation, regulating gastrointestinal hormone levels, the percentage of lymphocytes and the abundance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract.

Patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy have a very limited improvement in 5-year survival rate. Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) have made a breakthrough in the treatment of EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC, which shed light for the exploration of perioperative targeted therapy in NSCLC patients. Significant progress has been made in the research of targeted therapy of the first and third generation EGFR-TKI in perioperative patients. The availability of novel potent and less toxic targeted therapy has brought new treatments for the operable NSCLC. This article reviews the progress and existing problems of adjuvant and neoadjuvant targeted therapy in NSCLC harboring EGFR mutation.
