There were 13 cases of ureteral calculus and 13 cases of renal calculus. The CT scan showed that the long diameter of the stones ranged from 0.2 to 0.8 cm. All ureteral calculus patients were hospitalized because of renal colic. Renal calculus patients' stones were found in routine health examination and there were no flank pain, urinary irritation symptoms and hematuria. Ureteral calculus patients were cured by ureteroscopic lithotripsy and recovered. Ten renal calculus patients were cured simply by flexible ureteroscopy.

With the principle of compromising the composition of the specialists and their familiarity with medical selection of military flying cadets, 22 specialists, including 19 senior professionals and 3 official staffs, were selected to complete questionnaire and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Three rounds of questionnaire investigation were carried out in accordance with the rule of Delphi consultation and each round lasted for 25 to 35 d. The framework of index system of medical selection system of Air Force flying cadets was revised upon specialists' feedback and scores and the evaluation and assessment system and weight of index at each level of the system were determined. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000①One hundred and thirty-nine questionnaires were issued. The recovery rate was 90.65% and the available rate was 89.68%. Since middle and late 1980s, China's medical selection system of military flying cadets has developed rapidly, but such inefficiencies as low management efficiency, imperfect system, unreasonable specialist team composition and outdated equipment were still there. ②The recovery rate of 3 rounds questionnaire was 90.9%, 95.0% and 94.7% respectively and the harmonious coefficient was 0.543, 0.706 and 0.799. The specialists' feedbacks showed unisonous reliability (χ2=39.08, 50.82, 57.53, P<0.01). ③The determined construction of medical selection system of Air Force flying cadets included 5 primary indexes, 13 secondary indexes and 35 third class indexes.

Experimental animals were placed in the pressure cabin. Safety relief group model referred to the Chinese Navy diving decompression tables when decompression applied. In DCS group, the pressure equably was increased to 0.8 MPa (absolute pressure) within 5 min by compressed air, maintained for 60 min and then equably decompressed to normal pressure within 5 min. The change of pathology morphology in the spinal cord of thoracolumbar vertebra was observed by light microscope. The expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) mRNA were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) and the expression of TNF-α, GFAP, ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1 (IBA1) protein was measured by immunohistochemistry method. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000There were some cavity formations on white matter of spinal cord in DCS group. The relative expression of TNF-α mRNA was higher in DCS (6.28±1.73) than that in control group (1.00±0.14) and in safety relief group (1.34±0.42) (P<0.01). The relative expression of GFAP mRNA was higher in DCS (7.39±2.04) than in that control group (1.02±0.26) and in safety relief group (1.63±0.90) (P<0.01). The expression of TNF-α protein was significantly higher in DCS group (24.14±2.61) than that in control group (6.71±1.25) and in safety relief group (8.28±1.11) (P<0.01). The expression of GFAP protein was also significantly higher in DCS (18.20±4.38) than that in control group (4.30±2.70) and in safety relief group (6.20±2.92) (P<0.01). The expression of IBA1 protein was also significantly higher in DCS (21.53±1.37) than that in control group (5.94±0.36) and in safety relief group (6.69±0.81) (P<0.01). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions \u0000The astrocyte and microglia may play a key role in pathophysiology of spinal cord injury. They are activated in the early stage of DCS and accompanied with massive release of TNF-α, which causes excessive inflammation reaction and induces the spinal cord injury finally. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Decompression sickness; Spinal cord injuries; Astrocytes; Microglia; Tumor necrosis factor-alpha","PeriodicalId":9904,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Aerospace Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78595359","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}
