Objective:To evaluate the rationality of diving procedures and medical support through monitoring the stress, nutrition, and sleep quality of divers.Methods:The vital signs of divers were recorded by the monitor designed for high pressure condition. The bubble escape during decompression was evaluated by Doppler bubble monitor. The stress levels of divers were evaluated by the Stanford acute stress reaction questionnaire (SASRQ), and the sleep qualities of divers were evaluated by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). The post-diving effects were evaluated by the tests of blood routine and blood biochemistry, and MRI examination of large joints (bilateral shoulders, hips, and knees).Results:The vital signs of the four divers were stable throughout the training, and there was no significant difference in the mean values of vital signs in each stage ( P>0.05). During the decompression, all Doppler bubble monitoring results were below level 2. The total scores of SASRQ before and after diving were both lower than 57 points, indicating a moderate and low stress level; the stress levels of divers decreased slightly after surfacing, but the differences were not statistically significant ( t=1.464, P=0.239). Before and after diving, the divers’ sleep quality was good, but it decreased after surfacing, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-4.899, P=0.016). The results of blood routine test, biochemical test, and MRI of bilateral shoulders and hips of the four divers after diving were normal; the results of knee MRI showed that only one diver had a small amount of joint effusion. Conclusion:The physical and mental health of the divers in this training maintained good, indicating the procedures of and the medical support for the diving were safe and effective.

Objective:To investigate the sleep and stress state of support personnel during deep saturation diving training so as to provide reference for psychological support for such personnel on diving mission.Methods:The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Stanford acute stress response questionnaire (SASRQ) were used to evaluate 61 sailors from a warship in their annual task of supporting deep saturation diving training.Results:The total score of PSQI was 12.82±3.55, with 57 people higher than 7 points, accounting for 93.44%. There were significant differences in PSQI scores among different age groups, and that of the group aged 20-29 was the highest ( F=3.573, P=0.035). The scores of daytime functional and PSQI of support personnel at different posts were significantly different, and the scores in the posts directly supporting divers are significantly lower than those in the other two kinds of posts ( F=4.945, P=0.010; F=3.806, P=0.029). The average stress level of the crew was 36.87±14.84, among them, 5 sailors were under severe stress, and 16 sailors had more than 3 positive items. Among all the investigated crew members, there was a positive correlation between the stress test score and sleep quality except for the item of "using sleeping aids" . Conclusion:Attention should be paid to the psychological state of support personnel during the whole process of saturation deep diving in order to keep the training safe and smooth.

Objective To establish a simple scoring system for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and to observe its sensitivity and specificity. Methods Two hundred and thirty-three patients diagnosed as CHB by liver biopsy were divided into model group (N = 154) and validation group (N = 79). The general information, biochemical parameters and imaging data of all patients were observed. With hepatic fibrosis being obvious or not as the end point of primary study in the model group, we established a simple scoring system for the diagnosis. The cut-off, sensitivity and specificity of the system were tested in the model group by ROC curve, and its diagnostic efficacy was tested in the validation group. Results(1) A simple scoring system for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis called MDFS was established in the model group, and the dimensions of the system included sex, HBV-DNA, Fibroscan (FS) value and splenomegaly. In MDFS, male, HBV-DNA≥ 107 U/mL,FS value≥7.3 kPa, and splenomegaly were assigned 1 point, -2 points, 3 points, and 2 points respectively. (2) The best cut-off value in MDFS was 2 points.(3) ROC curve of the model group indicated that the specificity and sensitivity were 92.86% and 54.76% respectively, the area under curve(AUC) was 0.790, and the Youden index was 0.4762. In the validation group, the diagnostic cut-off value was over 2 points, and the sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio were 52.17%, 82.35%, 2.96, and 0.58 respectively. (4) The scoring results of MDFS for different traditional Chinese medical syndromes of CHB showed that the scores of blood stasis blocking collaterals > damp-heat accumulation > deficiency of spleen and kidney yang> liver depression and spleen deficiency = stagnation of liver Qi. Conclusion The MDFS diagnostic scoring system has medium efficiency. The specificity of MDFS is relatively high and MDFs has a relatively low misdiagnosis rate for the diagnosis of obvious hepatic fibrosis in CHB. The MDFS is expected to be a noninvasive and simple diagnosing way for hepatic fibrosis in CHB.
