The subjects were 34 male college students in the full-time military academy, with average age of (22.43±1.32) years old. The experiment was done based on 2×3×4 intra-test design. The combination of 2 reference frames and 3 ADI styles produced six displays and each of them corresponded to 8 rotation altitudes. Totally 48 pictures were displayed. During learning phase, the usual or unusual flight altitude pictures were presented to the subjects and the recovery operation was instructed to press the \" F\" key for the recovery to the left and the \" J\" key to the right. During training phase, 4 unusual flight altitude pictures were presented to the subjects. When the subjects were able to correctly judge these 4 pictures they were thought to be ready for the formal experiment. In formal experiment, 48 pictures were randomly presented to the subjects and the reaction time and the number of correct recovery were recorded. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The intra-group variance analysis with reaction time as the dependent variable indicated that the effect of the interaction between ADI style and reference frame on subjects′ reaction time was statistically significant, [F(2, 66)=6.267, P=0.003, η2=0.160]. The combination of conventional ADI format and PAS format with MA reference frame showed better matched effect. The intra-group analysis of the variance with correct rate as the dependent variable indicated that the effect of interaction between the ADI style and the reference frame on subjects′ correct rate was statistically significant [F(2, 66)=12.018, P<0.001, η2=0.267]. The MH reference frame matched with 3 ADI formats showed better results than the CMD-MA display and the CON-MA display.

The thalassemia gene tests were performed for the subjects with small cell and low pigmented anemia to diagnose if they were with thalassemia. Twenty-five mild thalassemia cases and 19 healthy cases were chosen for the comparison according to the principles of proximity and phone call reachable. The hypoxia test was conducted at 7.5 km simulated altitude by Model 2007 anti-G/anti-hypoxia Detector. SaO2, heart rate and blood pressure were respectively recorded at 20 s, 60s and 120 s of the test. In case of the test did not reach to 120 s but the SaO2 had been lower than 60% the test was terminated and the SaO2, heart rate and blood pressure were marked at the moment. The subjects were tested by writing digits with down sequence before and after hypoxia test. In 7.5 km simulated altitude test if the SaO2 level had decreased to 60% within 120 s the test would be terminated and the actual test duration was recorded. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000①Ninety-seven cases of thalassemia were found in 1 711 students (5.67%) and all cases were mild thalassemia. The highest detection rate was found in the students of Hainan Province, accounting for 20%. ②The difference of test duration was statistically significant between mild thalassemia group and health group under simulated 7.5 km altitude hypoxia environment (Z=3.630, P 0.05), but the difference at the end of test was statistically significant (t=5.248, P 0.05). The difference of systolic pressure at 60 s and the difference of diastolic pressure at the end of test were statistically significant between two groups [(t=2.215, P=0.029) and (t=2.518, P=0.018)]. The difference on the number of correctly writing digits with down sequence was insignificant between two groups before the hypoxia test (P>0.05), but was significant after the test (t=3.489, P<0.01). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions \u0000The hypoxia tolerance of the patients with mild thalassemia is lower than that of the healthy population. It is suggested that more attention should be paid to the candidates with mild thalassemia in the physical examination for recruiting student pilots. The pilots with mild thalassemia should minimize the flying on plateau. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Thalassemia; Hypoxia; Oximetry; Consciousness; Student pilots","PeriodicalId":9904,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Aerospace Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80857469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The comparisons on age, flying aircraft type, flying duties, body mass index (BMI), flying hours, night flying hours, blood lipid level, serum glucose level, histories of hypertension and smoking were conducted between two groups. The Logistic multivariate regression analysis was used for determining risk factors. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The CTA results indicated 25 cases (56.82%) of coronary artery stenosis and 19 normal cases.

In order to improve the success rate of the treatment of military traumatic brain injury patients, it is very important to ensure the rapid and safe evacuation. Aeromedical evacuation is a medical evacuation method that transported the sick or the wounded by aircrafts. By aeromedical evacuation, the military traumatic brain injury patients can arrive to the rear hospital in the shortest time, get effective medical treatment and guarantee the rehabilitation. However, such special circumstances of aviation medical evacuation as the changes on acceleration, air pressure, temperature, and oxygen concentration that would be experienced in flight, can lead to a series of physiological and pathological changes on the sick and the wounded.
