Radical treatment of severe open fractures of extremities by orthoplastic surgery: a 10-year retrospective study.

Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively analyze clinical data of a series of patients with severe open fractures of extremities (Gustilo IIIb or IIIc), who achieved a satisfactory outcome through radical orthoplastic surgery, so as to provide a reference for determining the treatment of severe open fractures of extremities.

Methods: The clinical data of 41 consecutive patients with severe open fracture (Gustilo IIIb or IIIc) of the limb, who underwent successful surgical debridement, fixation, and soft tissue reconstruction in one stage between January 2008 and January 2019, were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative indicators, including infection rate and union time, were acquired by a regular follow-up and analyzed.

Distinct inter-hemispheric dysconnectivity in schizophrenia patients with and without auditory verbal hallucinations.

Evidence from behavioral, electrophysiological and diffusion-weighted imaging studies suggest that schizophrenia patients suffer from deficiencies in bilateral brain communication, and this disruption may be related to the occurrence of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH). To increase our understanding of aberrant inter-hemispheric communication in relation to AVH, we recruited two groups of first-episode schizophrenia patients: one group with AVH (N = 18 AVH patients) and one without hallucinations (N = 18 Non-AVH patients), and 20 healthy controls. All participants received T1 structural imaging and resting-state fMRI scanning.

Estimated mental health and analysis of relative factors for new Chinese recruits.

Objective: The primary aim of the present study was to quantitatively assess and analyze influential psychosocial factors in the mental health of new military recruits.

Methods: A total of 2,734 army recruits were evaluated by using the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and Trait Meta-Mood Scale.

Results: In general, the army recruits were found to be in a good state of mental health.

[Models of confirmatory factor analysis of the emotional stability criteria of flying students].

Objective: To established models of confirmatory factor analysis of the emotional stability criteria of flying students, and to provide an available criteria tool for evaluating the emotional stability.

Method: "Criterion Assessment Scale of Emotional Stability of Flying Cadets" (ACSEFC) including 9 items were compiled first by interviewing with skillful pilots or flying instructors, and then the emotional stability of 153 flying students was evaluated by these pilots or instructors.

Result: There were high level (P<0.

Comparison of heart rate variability and heart rate between individuals with different emotional stability in two situations.

Objective: To compare heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) between individuals with different emotional stabilities in two situations and to discuss the relationship between situation, emotional stability and HRV.

Method: Ninety-six healthy male flying students were assessed after 60 h flying exercises by senior pilots using Criterion Assessment Scale of Emotional Stability of Flying Cadets (CASESFC) compiled by our department. They were divided into groups of high emotional stability and low stability.
