Objective To observe the clinical effect of ultrasound-guided nerve block combined with arc edge needle-scalpel in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.Methods 160 cases were randomly divided into 4 groups from A to D,40 cases in each group.Group A was given nerve block,group B was given ultrasound-guided nerve block,group C was given arc edge needle-scalpel,and group D was given ultrasound-guided nerve block combined with arc edge needle-scalpel for 4 weeks.The McGill pain scale,cervical dysfunction index,cervical motion(angle of cervical left and right rotation,anterior flexion,posterior extension and lateral flexion),myoelectric-evoked potentiall(median nerve and ulnar nerve conduction velocity,latency),arterial blood flow velocity(average vertebral artery and basal artery flow velocity,end-diastolic blood flow velocity)were observed.The serum levels of neuron-specific enolase(NSE),β-endorphin(β-EP),lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(LpPLA2),6-ketoprostaglandin E1α(6-keto-PGE1α)were measured.The clinical efficacy and safety of each group were observed.Results The response rate in group D was taller than that in group A and group B significantly(χ2=6.605,P=0.013;χ2=4.073,P=0.044).Compared with the other three groups,the McGill pain,NDI,NSE,LpPLA2 and 6-keto-PGE1α in group D decreased significantly(P<0.05),the β-EP increased significantly(P<0.05),and the angles of left and right cervical rotation,anterior flexion,posterior extension and lateral flexion increased significantly(P<0.05),and median nerve and ulnar nerve conduction velocity,vertebral artery and basilar artery average blood flow velocity,end diastolic blood flow velocity increased significantly(P<0.05),and median nerve and ulnar nerve latency decreased significantly(P<0.05).The safety index of group D was higher than that in group A significantly(χ2=5.641,P=0.018).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided nerve block combined with arc edge needle-scalpel can relieve neck and shoulder pain,improve cervical spine function and reduce complications in patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.

Objective This study aims to explore the impact of changes in psychological status on non-suicidal self-inju-ry(NSSI)among junior high school students,in order to provide a theoretical basis for promoting their mental health development and to formulate more effective prevention and intervention measures.Methods A longitudinal study design was employed.Baseline data were collected in 2021(T1)from 652 first-year junior high school students selected through stratified cluster ran-dom sampling from two middle schools in a city.In 2023(T2),585 valid follow-up cases were obtained(effective response rate:89.72％).Chi-square tests,binary logistic regression,and ROC curve analysis were used to examine the effects of dynamic changes in psychological stress,internet addiction,depression,anxiety,and insomnia on NSSI(significance level α=0.05).Results ① Univariate analysis showed that the detection rate of NSSI significantly decreased from 22.05％(129/585)at T1 to 8.55％(50/585)at T2(x2=41.164,P＜0.001),with an average annual decline of 6.75％.Gender differences:the detec-tion rate decreased from 14.68％(43/293)to 5.80％(17/293)in boys(x2=18.577,P＜0.001),and from 29.45％(86/292)to 11.30％(33/292)in girls(x2=5.658,P=0.017),with a narrowing gender gap(T1:14.77％→ T2:5.70％).The NSSI detection rates between boys and girls were statistically significant at both time points(x2=18.577,5.658).② Com-parison between the persistent group and the NSSI-remission group showed that both decreased insomnia severity(OR=3.525,95％CI:1.230-10.105)and increased insomnia severity(OR=5.431,95％CI:1.895-15.570)were associated with an in-creased risk of NSSI persistence or onset(P＜0.01).③ Predictive efficacy:When scores of GAD-7+PHQ-9+ISI all in-creased by≥2 points,AUC=0.709,with a sensitivity of 44.0％-67.7％for predicting NSSI.When PHQ-9+ISI scores both increased by≥2 points,AUC=0.705,with a sensitivity of 50.2％-67.8％.Conclusion This study reveals a high natural re-mission rate of NSSI(82.17％,106/129 in the remission group)during junior high school,but also identifies gender heteroge-neity and persistent risks.Accumulated psychological stress,aggravated internet addiction,and worsened emotional disorders(anxiety/depression)are factors associated with NSSI persistence or onset.Clinical interventions should focus on monitoring dy-namic psychological indicators and early threshold identification.Although these results provide valuable insights,future research is needed to further explore the interaction mechanisms among these factors and how to effectively translate these findings into practical prevention and intervention measures.

Objective:To explore the application of isokinetic muscle strength test in the evaluation of flying cadets′ G-tolerance by investigating the leg strength characteristics of different G-tolerance flying cadets.Methods:G-tolerance test: the AMSACC-4E human centrifuge closed-loop mode was used to test the +8 G z tolerance of 89 male fighter flying cadets. The G-tolerance end point of the flying cadets were determined according to physiological signal monitoring, facial expression characteristics and objective comments. According to the test results, the flying cadets were divided into 3 groups: excellent group, good group and failing group.The grouping criteria: excellent group: could complete the +8 G z 10 s test at one time, with no change in the main complaint light and good consciousness. Good group: could complete the +8 G z 10 s test at one time, the main complaint peripheral light dimmed or disappeared, the central light did not change. Failing group: failure to complete the +8 G z 10 s test at one time, occur G-induced loss of consciousness or almost loss of consciousness. Isokinetic muscle strength test: Biodex System 4 Pro isometric test system was used to test the maximum strength, strength endurance and muscle force balance of the leg flexor and extensor muscles of flying cadets. The test indicators include: peak torque, relative peak torque, average power and peak torque flexion ratio. The test site was knee joint of legs. The test angular speeds were 60°/s and 180°/s. The flying cadets were tested once at each angular speed. They were required to do their best to complete 5 times of consecutive flexion and extension at 60°/s, and 20 times of consecutive flexion and extension at 180°/s. Resting 1 min between different speed, and 3 min between different legs test. The leg strength characteristics were compared among 3 groups. Results:There were 52 flying cadets in excellent group, 29 in good group and 8 in failing group. In terms of leg strength: ①maximum strength: under the test of angular speed 60°/s, there was no significant difference in the peak moment and relative peak moment of leg flexor and extensor muscles among 3 groups (all P>0.05). The peak moment and relative peak moment of flexor muscle of left leg in excellent group were lower than those of right leg, with significant differences ( t=2.14, 2.20, P=0.037, 0.032). ②Strength endurance: under the test of angular speed 180°/s, there was a significant difference in the average power of right leg extensor muscle among 3 groups ( F=3.39, P=0.038). The average power of right leg extensor muscle in excellent group was higher than that in good group, with significant difference ( P=0.015). The average power of the left leg flexor muscle in the excellent group was lower than that of the right leg ( t=2.78, P=0.008). ③Muscle force balance: there were no significant differences between the leg peak torque flexion ratio of flying cadets at 60°/s and 180°/s angular speeds (all P>0.05). The peak torque flexion ratio of the left leg of the excellent group was lower than that of the right leg at both angular speeds ( t=3.96, 3.30, P<0.001,=0.002). Conclusions:The strength endurance of the right leg extensor muscles of the flying cadets with excellent G-tolerance is better, suggesting that under the test of angular speed 180°/s, there may be a certain correlation between the average power of leg extensor muscles and the G-tolerance. Maximum strength and muscle balance of the leg are not significant to the G-tolerance of the flying cadets.

The saphenous vein has been one of the most commonly used vascular materials for coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG), but the low long-term patency of the vein grafts limits the surgical benefits of CABG. The traditional method of saphenous vein harvesting is more damaging to the venous structures, which has led to the development of no-touch saphenous vein harvesting techniques. In this paper, we review the clinical progress of no-touch saphenous vein in CABG and the potential mechanisms of this technique, to improve the patency of vein grafts by analyzing the latest literature and research progress at the domestic and international level.

Ma-huang Lian-yao Chi-xiao-dou Tang is one of the three formulas for typhoid jaundice.But it has not received much attention,and the source of Lian-yao in the formula is unknown and the status and role are difficult to identify.In this paper,we first analyzed the functions of Ephedra and the symptoms of the whole formula.The formula was mainly used to"clear damp-heat"in order to remove jaundice.On this basis,it is proved that Lian-yao is the root of Forsythia,not"Qiao-gen".Today,the use of Forsythia instead of Lian-yao has the same effect.Then,the indispensable and important position of Forsythia in the formula was analyzed.It also pointed out some valuable directions for the medicinal use and research and development of Forsythia based on its wide range of effects but the lack of main symptoms.This paper provides insights for in-depth theoretical and practical research on Forsythiae Fructus.
