Objective To explore the changes of bulbocavemosus sphincter reflex (BCR) in male rabbit models of spinal cord ischemia injury of different levels at acute stage and their values in predicting spinal cord functions,and provide theoretical basis for protecting the spinal cord function by neurophysiology examination in clinical microsurgical operation.Methods Thirty-six adult New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 6 groups:a control group (n=6) was used to eliminate the effects of anesthesia and surgery on BCR;rabbits in the experimental group (n=30) were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6) according to different levels of lumbar arteries being ligatured between the left renal artery and arterial bifurcate (subgroups of one,two,three,4 and 5 lumbar arteries being ligatured).BCR was recorded continuously within two h of ligation;rabbits in each group were subjected to double-blind Tarlov lower limb motor function scale before and 2 d after surgery;and ischemic spinal cord specimens were performed hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining to observe pathological changes in sacral spinal cord ischemic areas after 2 days.Results There was no significant difference in BCR amplitude and latency between different time points after anesthesia (P>0.05);there was no significant difference in BCR amplitude and latency between different time points before and after operation (P>0.05).There was no significant change in the amplitude of BCR before and after one lumbar artery ligation;however,the BCR amplitude immediately changed after ligaturing two,three,4 or 5 lumbar arteries:the latency of BCR immediately began to extend and amplitude immediately began to reduce;amplitude was stable respectively after (0.7±0.4),(0.7±0.3),(0.7±0.3) and (0.6±0.3) min of ligation.The amplitude variation of BCR was positively correlated with Tarlov lower limb motor function scale scores 2 days after ligation (r=0.791,P=0.0001).HE staining showed that the normal sacral spinal cord structure was observed in the control group,subgroups of one and two lumbar arteries being ligatured;the basically normal sacral spinal cord structure was observed in the subgroup of three lumbar arteries being ligatured;the normal sacral spinal cord structure basically disappeared in the subgroup of 5 lumbar arteries being ligatured;the spinal cord injury of subgroup of 4 lumbar arteries being ligatured was between that of subgroup of three lumbar arteries being ligatured and subgroup of 5 lumbar arteries being ligatured.Conclusion The amplitude and latency of BCR in male rabbits are sensitive to sacral cord ischemic injury,which can help find ischemic injury in the reversible phase of the sacral cord ischemia and provide theoretical basis for the prevention of occurrence of male irreversible sacral spinal cord injury during microsurgery.

Objective To explore the application effect of family integrated care (FIC) based on family ward (FW) on premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.Methods A total of 171 premature in-fants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and their parents in the neonatology department of a hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected as the research subjects.According to the wishes of parents,they were divided into three groups:NICU-FIC group,FW-FIC group and no accompanying group.In the NICU-FIC group,the parents entered the centrally managed neonatal intensive care unit to take care of premature in-fants at the bedside.The parents in the FW-FIC group shared a single ward with the premature infants,and participated in the care throughout the day.The parents in the unaccompanied group did not participate in the care of premature infants during hospitalization.The conditions of the three groups of premature infants at discharge and on 30 d after discharge were compared among 3 groups.Results A total of 167 premature in-fants completed the trial.At discharge,the breastfeeding rate,total oxygen days,and total hospitalization days of the NICU-FIC group and FW-FIC group were significantly different from those of the unaccompanied group (P<0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference between the NICU-FIC group and FW-FIC group(P>0.05).After 30 d of discharge,the breastfeeding rate,weight gain,proportion of home oxygen therapy,and readmission rate of the NICU-FIC group and FW-FIC group were significantly different from those of the unaccompanied group (P<0.05).The breastfeeding rate,weight gain and readmission rate in the FW-FIC group were significantly different from those in the NICU-FIC group (P<0.05).Conclusion The FIC method based on the family ward is consistent with the FIC method based on the open neonatal intensive care unit in promoting the clinical prognosis of premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia,moreover the FIC method based on the family ward has better strengthening effect and out-of-hospital continuity.
