Background Internal jugular vein catheterization is widely used in clinical practice, and there are many related studies on internal jugular vein catheterization. However, the omohyoid muscle, which is adjacent to the internal jugular vein, is a rarely mentioned muscle of the infrahyoid muscles group. The purpose of this study is to explore the anatomical relationship between the omohyoid muscle and the internal jugular vein on ultrasound guidance and provide a theoretical reference for jugular puncture and catheterization. Methods The study included 30 volunteers. The volunteer’s head lay in the neutral position and was then turned to the left at an angle of 30°, 45° and 60° with the bed surface, as verified using an adjustable protractor. A high-frequency ultrasound probe (6–14 Hz) was used to examine the plane of the apex of sternocleidomastoid triangle (PAST), the triangle consists of anatomical landmarks: a base was clavicle, its sides – heads of sternocleidomastoid muscle. And the plane of the middle of sternocleidomastoid triangle(PMST) which was a horizontal line, connecting midpoints of both sides. The right omohyoid muscle (OM) and the right internal jugular vein (IJV) were observed and recorded for statistical analysis. Results There were statistically significant differences in the number of overlapping cases of OM and IJV at each head rotation angle between the PAST and PMST groups. There were statistically significant differences between the angles which OM and IJV centre point line and the left horizontal position of the PAST and PMST at different body angles. Conclusion The traditional middle route puncture point is the apex of the sternocleidomastoid triangle, which can effectively avoid injury to the omohyoid muscle, to an extent.

Herein, we encapsulated modified silicon carbide nanoparticles utilizing a metal–organic backbone. E-SiC-FeZnZIF composites were successfully prepared via Fe doping. The catalysis activity of this bifunctional composite material was evaluated by the degradation of tetracycline (THC) and carbamazepine (CBZ) and the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2). Nano SiC has received widespread attention in advanced oxidation applications, especially in the catalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). However, the inferior activity of SiC has severely restricted its practical use. In this study of dual functional composite materials, nano SiC was firstly etched under aqueous alkali. Then, zeolite imidazolate frame-8 (ZIF-8) was used for immobilization. The filling of the etched nano SiC with FeZnZiF was confirmed by SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, and XPS analyses. In addition, E-SiC-FeZnZIF exhibited excellent catalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to oxidize water pollutants, which can degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (THC), achieving a removal rate of 72% within 60 min. Moreover, E-SiC-FeZnZIF exhibited a relatively high CO2 reduction rate with H2O. The yields of CO and CH4 were 0.085 and 0.509 μmol g−1, respectively, after 2 h, which are higher than that of 50 nm of commercial SiC (CO: 0.084 μmol g−1; CH4: 0.209 μmol g−1). This work provides a relatively convenient synthesis path for constructing metal skeleton composites for advanced oxidation and photocatalytic applications. This will have practical significance in protecting water bodies and reducing CO2, which are vital not only for maintaining the natural ecological balance and negative feedback regulation, but also for creating a new application carrier based on nano silicon carbide.

Background: Internal jugular vein catheterization is widely used in clinical practice, and there are many related studies on internal jugular vein catheterization. However, the omohyoid muscle, which is adjacent to the internal jugular vein, is a rarely mentioned muscle of the superficial subhyoid muscle group. The purpose of this study is to explore the anatomical relationship between the omohyoid muscle and the internal jugular vein on ultrasound guidance and provide a theoretical reference for jugular puncture and catheterization.Methods: The study included 30 volunteers who were placed in the supine position at head tilt angles of 30°, 45° and 60° angles measured from the top of the head to the left side of the bed. A high-frequency ultrasound probe (6-14 Hz) was used to examine the plane of the sternocleidomastoid triangle (PST), which is formed by the sternocleidomastoid bone and the clavicular head. The upper edge of the clavicle and plane of the lateral sternocleidomastoid margin (PSL) to the right omohyoid muscle (OM) and the right internal jugular vein (IJV) were observed and recorded for statistical analysis.Results: There were statistically significant differences in the number of overlapping cases of OM and IJV at each body angle between the PST and PSL groups. There were statistically significant differences between the OM and IJV centre point angles and the left horizontal position of the PST and PSL at different body angles.Conclusion: The traditional middle route puncture point is the apex of the sternocleidomastoid triangle, which can effectively avoid injury to the omohyoid muscle, to an extent.Trial registration: ChiCTR2000034233.
