The study was based on the teaching effect of blended teaching of the course of Veterinary Immunology on the U-Massive Open Online Course (UMOOC) platform of Inner Mongolia Minzu University. The students of two classes majoring in veterinary medicine in Inner Mongolia Minzu University were selected to form the traditional teaching group (control group) and the blended teaching group (experimental group), respectively, and the teaching effects were further compared and analyzed. The blended teaching module improved students' active learning attitude along with their ability to grasp knowledge in class, and most students supported to use blended teaching in the future. In conclusion, the UMOOC-based blended teaching methodology stimulated students' active learning attitude toward veterinary immunology and helped to foster innovative consciousness and self-management ability.

Segmental dorsolumbar epidural anesthesia has been considered difficult to perform. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not it is difficult for beginners to learn how to do modified dorsolumbar epidural anesthesia of cattle. Thirty cattle were divided into two groups, young (n = 8) and adult (n = 22), according to their age and body weight, and 0.12% new methylene blue (NMB) was injected into the first interlumbar (L1.L2) epidural space by four fifth-year veterinary school students who had never performed this method. After a 1 hour lecture on the modified dorsolumbar epidural anesthesia procedure which included basic anatomy and skills, each student successfully performed the procedure. In the young group, the NMB solution was distributed between the periosteum and the epidural fat (BPF) in one half and between the epidural fat and the dura mater (BFD) in the other half of the cattle. In about 60% (13/22) of the adult group, the NMB solution distributed as BFD type. This study showed that the modified dorsolumbar epidural anesthesia procedure is easy for beginners to perform if they overcome their fear about the deeper insertion of the epidural needle with basic anatomical knowledge and a little experience.
