Key technologies and evolution of 5G non-terrestrial network by Deshan MIAO, Li CHAI, Jiancheng SUN, Ting KE, Yuzhen LIU, Xiaodong XU, Nan HU, Shanzhi CHEN

“…Non-terrestrial network (NTN) in 5G system is expected to provide communication services via near-earth space access and satellite access, which means 5G network has expanded its service area from land to space.Standardization status and key technolgies of 5G 3GPP Release 17 NTN were presented, including key differences compared 5G TN, especially in network architecture, time and frequency synchronization, HARQ, and mobility management etc.Moreover, the main candidate techniques in 3GPP Release 18 NTN and beyond were explored, aiming to outline a vision for NTN evolution.Based on the analysis of 5G NTN and its evolution, it was observed that the integration of TN and NTN would be an obvious technique trend, which paved a way to a unified system applied for space, land and sea.…”

Jinkui Shenqi Pill Combined with Pelvic Floor Biofeedback in Treatment of Postpartum Stress Urinary Incontinence with Kidney-yang Deficiency by Xueqin MIAO, Hongri WANG, Meiyun GAO, Caifeng GUO, Jifen HU, Kunmu ZHANG

“…The pelvic floor muscle myoelectric potential was measured before and after treatment, the urine leakage volume in 1h urine pad test, the Short Form of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire(ICI-Q-SF)scores, calculate the total effective rate and follow up the severity of stress urinary incontinence and ICI-Q-SF questionnaire scores were measured six months after treatment.Results:1) After treatment, the typeⅡmyoelectric potential, typeⅠmyoelectric potential, and typeⅠmuscle endurance potential of the two groups were higher than those before treatment, the difference was statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), and the treatment group was higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).2)The volume of urine leakage in 1 h pad test of the two groups after treatment was less than that before treatment, the difference was statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), and the treatment group was significantly less than the control group, the difference was statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).3)The ICI-Q-SF questionnaire scores of the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), and the treatment group was significantly lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).4) The total effective rate of the treatment group(88.60%)was higher than that of the control group(65.80%), the difference was statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).5)Follow-up six months later, the degree of stress urinary incontinence and ICI-Q-SF questionnaire scores of the treatment group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).Conclusion:1) Jinkui Shenqi pill combined with pelvic floor biofeedback could enhance the muscle strength of pelvic floor typeⅠand typeⅡmuscles in patients with postpartum stress urinary incontinence with kidney-yang deficiency, improve pelvic floor function recovery, reduce urine leakage, and improve patients'short-term and long-term quality of life, the treatment effect was significant and lasting, and was more effective than pure pelvic floor biofeedback therapy alone;2)The mechanism of Jinkui Shenqi pill in treating postpartum stress urinary incontinence with kidney-yang deficiency may be related to the increase of pelvic floor muscle potential.…”
