ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To examine and investigate the contrast visual acuity and eyes care habits in Air Force pilot cadets, and analyze the change of contrast visual acuity and the related influencing factors.<p>METHODS: The contrast visual acuity of the students in Grade One and Grade Two at an aviation university was recorded and analyzed, and the visual habits were recorded and analyzed by questionnaire.<p>RESULTS: A total of 117 students in Grade One and 210 students in Grade Two were enrolled. The contrast visual acuity of both eyes over 1.0 were 83 students(70.9%)in Grade One and 174 students(82.9%)in Grade Two respectively(<i>P</i><0.05). Questionnaire survey on the eye care habits by students, showing the second grade students of daily reading time, outdoor sports, sports category, use at night time, with a focus on electronic product knowledge and the degree of attention and when flying cadets were significantly different(<i>P</i><0.05). There were 87.2% students of Grade One and 93.3% students of Grade Two taking less than or equal to 6h to get daily reading and learning time, 34.2% students of Grade One and 13.8% students of Grade Two taking outdoor sports less than or equal to 2h, 57.3% students of Grade One and 90.0% students of Grade Two taking more than One category of exercise,38.5% students of Grade One and 43.3% students of Grade Two using electronic production less than or equal to 2h, 85.5% students of Grade One and 75.7% students of Grade Two using electronic production at night, and 61.5% students of Grade One and 81.0% students of Grade Two paying high attention to the use of scientific knowledge(<i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION: The contrast visual acuity of Air Force pilot cadets keeps improving at theoretical study stage, mainly including the following reasons such as the decreasing of reading time, the increasing of outdoor sports, the improving of exercise methods, the reduce using of electronic production and the enhancing of eyes-using knowledge.
ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the nasal examination procedures for preliminary medical selection of pilot cadets,to reduce the use of medicine for nasal congestion,to simplify the workflow and to improve the efficiency.Methods In the course of recruiting pilots,all the 306 candidates in seven districts of a province were selected and randomly divided into the exercise-first group (n =166) and the spraying-first group (n =140).In the exercise-first group,the nasal cavity of the students was observed under the anterior rhinoscope at three time points:before exercise/spraying,after simple exercise,and after exercise/spraying(exercise first).In the second group,the nasal cavity was observed under the anterior rhinoscope at three time points:before exercise/spraying,after simple spraying,and after exercise/spraying(spraying first).Conclusions were drawn after nasal examination,and the percentage of clear conclusions in each group was statistically analyzed.Results In the case of simple exercise or simple nasal spraying,clear conclusions could be drawn about most of the candidates.There was no significant difference between the simple nasal spraying group and simple exercise group in the rate of clear conclusions.Conclusion During the preliminary recruitment of pilot students,the exercise method can be used to shrink the nasal cavity.For a few candidates whose conclusions cannot be drawn after exercise,nasal spray can be added to reduce congestion improve efficiency,and reduce the use of nasal congestion,thus reducing the indireet damage to candidates.During the re-check and final check,the nasal spray agent can be used to reduce the congestion and at the same time fast squatting 50 times in two minutes can be used as a the nasal cavity contraction method.
