Infant nutritional status evaluation is a basic experimental skill in the experimental teaching of nutrition and food hygiene. The construction of this virtual simulation experiment can solve the problems of activeness and poor coordination of infants and young children in the actual operation of the experiment. And based on the application of this virtual simulation project, the experimental teaching method of preventive medicine was explored. This experiment adopted online and offline mixed teaching method, which enriches teaching measures and strengthens the standardized process of infant nutritional status evaluation. After 3 semesters of practice from spring 2018 to spring 2020, the proportion of students who achieved excellent grades was 30.09% (34/113), 56.02% (279/498) and 66.79% (1 080/1 617), respectively, which increased significantly year by year ( Ptrend < 0.001). Among all the 2 228 students, 1 983 students (89%) believed that this experimental teaching could better cultivate the ability of autonomous learning. Through the study of virtual simulation experiments, students have improved their subjective initiative, and laid a foundation for the improvement of students' overall quality and the requirements of school elite education.

Objective:To explore the basic rules of hemodynamics of the multi-territory flap in the early stage.Methods:In this paper, based on the prototype of the free flaps and vascularized pedicled transpositional flaps. The angiosome theory was applied as a basis to systematically analyze the blood flow pathway, the resistance network, and the series or parallel connection mode between each resistance network within the flap, according to the knowledge of fluid mechanics and current pathway, and finally the mathematical model was used for deduction.Results:Based on the model, it can be concluded that a dynamic flow balance can be achieved in the arteries and veins of the multi-territory flap in the early stage and the flap could be divided into four areas: the effective microcirculation zone, the venous stasis zone, the relative ischemic zone and the absolute ischemic zone. And the following inferences can be drawn: (1) The blood supply to the vascular pedicle is constant by pressure rather than by flow. (2) The resistance of the flap varies by the position or the relative position of the arterial vascular pedicle and venous vascular pedicle. (3) The flow velocity decrease gradually from the pedicle to the distal end. (4) The main factors that lead to distal flap necrosis vary depending on the region in which they are located: the venous stasis zone is mainly due to obstructed venous return, and the relative and absolute ischemic zones are mainly due to insufficient arterial blood supply.Conclusions:The basic rules and characteristics of hemodynamics of the multi-territory flap in the early stage can be well explained by this theoretical model, the pedicled artery and vein of the flap can achieve a dynamic balance of flow, and the blood flow gradually decreases from the pedicle to the distal end. The survival range of the flap depends on the pressure difference between the artery and vein as well as the resistance of the blood flow path in the flaps. The distal necrotic area of the flap can be divided into venous stasis area and arterial insufficiency area.

Objective:To investigate the application value of three-dimensional (3D) laparoscope in the transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 20 patients with middle and low rectal cancer who underwent TaTME in the Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from June 2018 to October 2019 were collected. There were 15 males and 5 females, aged from 28 to 81 years, with a median age of 64 years. Of the 20 patients, 10 patients using 3D laparoscopic system for transanal approach of TaTME were divided into 3D group, and 10 patients using two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic system for transanal approach of TaTME were divided into 2D group. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery; (2) postoperative pathological examination; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect survival of patients and recurrence and metastasis of tumors in patients up to April 2020. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Fisher exact propability. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:(1) Intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery: patients in the two groups completed surgeries successfully, without tranversion to laparostomy from laparoscopic surgery, transversion to transabdominal surgery from transanal surgery, or intraoperative death. The cases with terminal ileostomy, cases with manual anstomosis or mechanical anastomosis (anastomotic methods), operation time, volume of intra-operative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay, cases with anastomotic leakage or anastomotic hemorrahge (postoperative short-term complications), cases with anastomotic stenosis of the 3D group were 7, 4, 6, 150 minutes (range, 100-220 minutes), 50 mL (range, 30-100 mL), 8.5 days (range, 7.0-16.0 days), 2, 0, 1, respectively, versus 8, 5, 5, 180 minutes (range, 120-250 minutes), 100 mL (range, 30-200 mL), 9.5 days (range, 6.0-17.0 days), 1, 1, 1 of the 2D group. There was no significant difference in the terminal ileostomy, anastomotic methods, postoperative short-term complications, or anastomotic stenosis between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, or duration of postoperative hospital stay between the two groups ( Z=1.909, 1.827, 0.687, P>0.05). Patients with short-term complications in the two groups were improved after conservative treatments. There was 1 patient with anastomotic stenosis in either group, and they were improved after endoscopic balloon dilatation. (2) Postoperative pathological examination: the maximum tumor diameter, distal margin of the tumor, the number of lymph nodes harvested, cases with cancer nodes in the mesentery, cases with complete mesentery or median complete mesentery (the integrity of mesentery), cases in stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ (postoperative pathological stage) of the 3D group were 3.8 cm (range, 1.8-5.0 cm), 1.0 cm (range, 0.5-2.5 cm), 14.5 (range, 6.0-19.0), 1, 9, 1, 4, 2, 4, respectively, versus 4.8 cm (range, 1.0-8.5 cm), 0.8 cm (range, 0.3-1.5 cm), 15.5 (range, 8.0-18.0), 1, 8, 2, 2, 4, 4 of the 2D group. There was no significant difference in the maximum tumor diameter, distal margin of the tumor, the number of lymph nodes harvested, the integrity of mesentery, or postoperative pathological stage between the two groups ( Z=1.673, 1.772, 0.038, 0.610, 0.482, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the cases with cancer nodes in the mesentery between the two groups ( P>0.05). Patients in the two groups had negative distal margin and circumferential margin. (3) Follow-up: patients in the 3D group and 2D group were followed up for 11 months (range, 6-16 months) and 13 months (range, 6-21 months), respectively. During the follow-up, there was no local recurrence, distal metastasis, or tumor-related death. Conclusions:3D laparoscope applied in the TaTME can achieve similar clinical efficacy with 2D laparoscope, which may have a positive impact on the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss.
