Objective To study the safety and efficacy of transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBt)under block anesthesia of bilateral obturator nerves.Methods Seventy-seven patients were chronologically divided into two groups.Forty-six of patients with lateral,bilateral or multiple tumors in the bladder,which underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor under epidural anesthesia from April 2003 to October 2004,were chosen as the Control Group.Thirty-one patients whom were administrated with epidural anesthesia plus bilateral block of the obturator nerve from October 2004 to July 2005 served as the Study Group.Incidences of bladder perforation and obturator nerve reflex were compared between the two groups.Results In the Control Group,obturator nerve reflex occurred in 25 patients(including intense reflex in 11 patients),giving an incidence of 54.3%(25/46),and bladder perforation resulted from the reflex was observed in 8 patients,with an incidence of 17.3%(8/46).In the Study Group,slight obturator nerve reflex happened in 3 patients(9.9%,3/31)and bladder perforation was found in 1 patient(3.2%,1/31).A significant higher rate of obturator nerve reflex was noted in the Control Group than in the Study Group(?2=15.970,P=0.000),but no statistical difference was seen in bladder perforation rate between the two groups(?2=2.359,P=0.125).Conclusions Bilateral block of the obturator nerve can improve the safety remarkably during transurethral resection of bladder tumor,especially when the tumor was located in the lateral bladder wall.

To evaluate the advantages of using PBL case library in teaching circulatory system diseases to clinical medicine undergraduate students, a PBL case library was established and applied in teaching practice in the reform of circulatory system teaching. The PBL case library achieved the characteristics of combining theories with cases, morphology with functions, and basic knowledge with clinical knowledge. The PBL case library also realized the informatization, query, and update of cases. Preliminary application showed that the median practical score of students in the case library group was 94.00 points, which was significantly higher than the 92.00 points in the control group ( P=0.005). The average lesson preparation time for teachers in the case library group was (5.00±1.00) hours, which was significantly shorter than the (6.89±0.42) hours in the control group ( P<0.001). The difficulty score for lesson preparation among teachers in the case library group was significantly lower than that of the control group [(1.89±1.05) vs. (3.22±0.44), P<0.001]. However, there were no significant difference in theoretical scores and student satisfaction with teachers and courses. These results suggest that the construction of case library can improve practical teaching effectiveness and enhance the efficiency of lesson preparation for teachers.

Objective:To develop a Cognitive Assessment Scale for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation and conduct reliability and validity tests in community-dwelling patients with SCI.Methods:Based on expectation value theory, social cognition theory, and goal setting theory, a Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation was developed through literature review, group discussions, patient trials, and expert verification. From February to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 231 community-dwelling patients with SCI as research subjects, including 67 community-dwelling patients with SCI who participated in rehabilitation training at Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center and 164 patients with SCI in the "Hope Home" WeChat group of Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center. Research subjects were surveyed using the Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version), 9-item depression scale of Patient Health Questionnaire, 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, EuroQol 5 Dimension-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), General Self-Efficacy Scale, and general information questionnaire. SPSS 16.0 software and Amos 21.0 software were used for correlation analysis and reliability and validity testing.Results:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version) included two primary dimensions, eight secondary dimensions, and 24 items. The trial showed good results among patients with SCI and their caregivers, and experts generally agreed. Exploratory factor analysis found that the scale were divided into recognition dimension and understanding dimension. Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.98, the correlation coefficient between each item and its corresponding dimension was 0.75 to 0.88, and our results indicated good test-retest reliability. Correlation analysis showed that patient anxiety and depression scores were negatively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05), and self-efficacy, quality of life were positively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation is scientific and feasible, with good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the rehabilitation cognition of community-dwelling patients with SCI.
