Objective:To explore the distribution and determinants of abnormal blood lipid metabolism among flying personnel with lumbar disc herniation and with different flying hours and to provide data for targeted intervention strategies.Methods:The hospitalization data of 214 male flying personnel was retrospectively analyzed who were admitted to the Air Force Medical Center between September 2020 and September 2023, diagnosed with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion, and underwent blood lipid testing within 24 h of admission. According to the hours of flying, they were divided into <1 000 h group (45 cases), 1 000-<3 000 h group (107 cases), and ≥3 000 h group (62 cases). The blood lipid biochemical indicators [total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C)], basic information and personal history of the flying personnel were collected. The detection rates of blood lipid metabolism disorders among flying personnel with different durations of flight were compared. The chi-square test for linear trend was used to find out whether there was a trend of linear changes in the detection rates of various blood lipid disorders. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the determinants of abnormal blood lipid metabolism.Results:There were significant differences in age, levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and non-HDL-C between flying personnel in different flying hours groups ( F=80.76, 4.67, 4.00, 6.35, P<0.001,=0.010, 0.020, 0.002). The levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and non-HDL-C in the 1 000-<3 000 h group were higher than those in the <1 000 h group ( P=0.023, 0.029, 0.003). The total detection rate of elevated triglyceride was the highest (28.04%). There was a significant difference in the detection rate of elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol between the 3 groups ( χ2=6.50, P=0.039), which was lower in the 1 000-<3 000 h group than in the <1 000 h group ( P=0.010). The results of the chi-square analysis of linear association showed that with the increase of flight duration, there was a linear decrease in the detection rates of elevated total cholesterol and elevated non-HDL-C ( χ2=4.17, 4.16, P=0.041, 0.041). The univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the <1 000 h, the 1 000-<3 000 h was an influencing factor for elevated triglyceride ( OR=4.406, 95% CI: 1.604-12.103) and elevated non-HDL-C ( OR=6.217, 95% CI: 1.403-27.551) while body mass index was an influencing factor for elevated total cholesterol ( OR=1.237, 95% CI: 1.055-1.450) and elevated non-HDL-C ( OR=1.298, 95% CI: 1.087-1.548). Current smoking was an influencing factor for elevated triglyceride ( OR=3.214, 95% CI:1.700-6.078) and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR=3.200, 95% CI: 1.724-5.941). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index was a risk factor for elevated total cholesterol ( OR=1.245, 95% CI: 1.054-1.471) and elevated non-HDL-C ( OR=1.301, 95% CI: 1.082-1.564). Current smoking was a risk factor for elevated triglyceride ( OR=3.439, 95% CI: 1.550-7.631) and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR=4.047, 95% CI: 1.901-8.729). Conclusions:Flying personnel with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion and with different flying hours exhibit distinct features of phased blood lipid metabolism disorders. The triglyceride levels of those with 1 000-<3 000 h deserve more attention while the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol should be brought under control for those with <1 000 h. It is recommended that hierarchical interventions be exercised according to flight stages, and that priority be given to controlling daily adjustable behavioral factors such as body mass index and smoking.

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.

Background Occupational hazards in the workplace are often determined through on-site investigations and recognized hazards to determine monitoring items, and occupational health risk assessments are rarely carried out on the monitoring results. Objective Based on the qualitative results of volatile organic compounds, to monitor 8 types of volatile organic compounds in workplace air, and conduct occupational health risk assessments for workstations with disqualified results. Methods This study selected 29 enterprises from 12 key industries listed in the Work Plan for Monitoring Occupational Disease Hazards in Workplaces in Chongqing (2023) in 5 districts and counties of Chongqing. A total of 49 key workstations, including spray painting, glue brushing, glue adjustment, adhesion, printing, bonding, packing, oil film, feeding, material preparation,dispersion, and immersion, were selected for air sampling and chemical headspace treatment. The volatile organic compounds in the headspace were separated with a gas chromatography capillary column and sequentially entered into a mass spectrometer for detection. Qualitative analysis of each component was conducted using the National Institute of Technical Standards and Technology standard spectrum library and retention time. Based on the qualitative results, chemical hazards and related workstations were determined, then quantitative evaluation was conducted for key hazards in workplace air, and followed by occupational health risk assessment for the disqualified workstations using semi-quantitative exposure ratio. Results One or more of the 8 key chemical hazards were positive in the 29 enterprises, among which xylene (89.7%) and toluene (86.2%) had the highest positive rates, followed by benzene (34.5%), 1,2-dichloroethane (31.0%), ethylbenzene (20.7%), n-hexane (10.3%), and trichloromethane (6.9%), and trichloroethylene was negative. In the quantitative evaluation for occupational hazards in workplace air, the highest positive rates of chemical hazards were xylene (70.6%) and ethylbenzene (83.3%), and the highest disqualification rate of chemical hazards was 1,2-dichloroethane (50.0%). Out of the 29 enterprises, 8 reported disqualified air key chemical hazards, mainly in the workstations of spray painting and immersion. One spray painting workstation reported 3 disqualified chemical hazards, and one spary painting workstation reported 2 disqualified chemical hazards. The risk level of 1,2-dichloroethane in the spary painting workstations of 3 enterprises was high. The joint risk of 2 enterprises with multiple disqualified chemical hazards was high. Conclusion The positive rates of benzene derivatives and 1,2-dichloroethane in workplace chemicals are high in this study. The risk level of 1,2-dichloroethane in the spary painting workstations of 3 companies is high, and this substance needs special attention in future monitoring.

Objective To explore the value of MR diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)in evaluating the effect of march training on the thigh muscles of recruits.Methods DTI scans of the right thigh were performed three times in forty recruits:before and after the march training and one month after the rest.Fractional anisotropy(FA)was measured on the cross-sectional images of the thigh muscles,including rectus femoris(RF),vastus medialis(VM),vastus lateralis(VL),vastus intermedius(VI),gracilis muscle(GM),sartorius muscle(SM),semitendinosus muscle(STM),semimembranosus muscle(SMM),long head of biceps femoris(LHBF)and short head of biceps femoris(SHBF).The percentage changes in FA values of each muscle after the training and rest were calculated.Paired samplet-tests were used to analyze the differences in FA among the thigh muscles at different time points,and one-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences in the percentage changes of FA among the thigh muscles after the training and rest.Results Compared to pre-training,the FA values of all thigh muscles significantly decreased after the training,with statistical differences(P＜0.05).After the rest,the FA values of all thigh muscles recovered,but statistical differences remained in RF(P＜0.001),VM(P＜0.001),VL(P=0.001),STM(P=0.046),and LHBF(P=0.013).After the training and rest,the FA values of the recruits'thigh muscles showed a"decreasing first and then increasing"trend.There were statistical differences in the percentage changes of FA after the training and the recovery percentages of FA after the rest among the thigh muscles(P＜0.001,P＜0.001).Conclusion DTI may reflect the ultra-structure changes in the thigh muscles of recruits after the march training and provide a quantitative and noninvasive assessment of muscle micro-injuries.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of arc-edge needle therapy based on Zaodian theory in the treatment of refractory tennis elbow.Methods 64 patients with refractory tennis elbow were collected and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method.Among them,32 cases in the control group were treated with local pain point injection.32 patients in the observation group were treated with arc-edge needle therapy once a week,with two treatments per group.The Number rating scale(NRS)Mayo,elbow joint performance score(MEPS)and Disabilities of the arm,shoulder and hand(DASH)score were recorded and compared between the two groups before treatment and at 1,2,4 and 24 weeks of follow-up after treatment,disease efficacy score(WDES)at 24 weeks of follow-up.Results During the treat-ment process,neither group of patients experienced serious adverse reactions.At each stage after treatment,two groups of NRS MEPS,DASH,and WDES at 24 weeks of follow-up all improved compared to before treatment.After one week of treatment,there was no statistically significant difference in NRS scores between the two groups(P>0.05).At follow-up visits at weeks 2,4,and 24,the NRS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group.After 1,2,4,and 24 weeks of follow-up after treatment,the DASH score was lower in the observation group than in the control group,and the MEPS score was higher in the observation group than in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After 24 weeks of treatment,the WDES of the observation group was better than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Local pain point injection and arc-edge Zaodian release can alleviate pain and improve elbow joint function in the early stage of refractory tennis elbow.However,the long-term effect of local pain point injection treatment is not good,and the treatment effect of the observation group gradually improves.

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.

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.
