Abstract
Injuries associated with high-performance fighter aircrafts and spacecrafts are bringing serious challenges to pilots. Exposure to positive acceleration (+Gz) can increase the incidence and recurrence of peptic ulcer. Recurrence of ulcer is closely related to quality of ulcer healing (QOUH), and improving QOUH is considered to be the third leap of understanding of peptic ulcer and has become a hotspot of aerospace medicine research. In this paper, we review the recent advances in understanding the effects of +Gz exposure on QOUH in rats with experimental gastric ulcer in terms of animal model development, QOUH assessment, and influencing factors for QOUH, with an aim to improve the protection against injuries caused by +Gz exposure, strengthen the pilot's overall ability to resist +Gz, and enhance the safety of flight.
