1.Progresses of MRI in evaluation of female pelvic organ prolapse
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2018;34(6):949-952
MRI has the advantages of high soft tissue contrast and resolution,which can provide noninvasive and objective evaluation for the motion of pelvic organs.The commonly used assessment systems include two dimensional systems (pubococcygeal line,sacrococcygeal inferior pubic point line,pelvic inclination correction system,midpubic line,perineal line and HMO system) and three-dimensional systems (three-dimensional pelvic inclination correction system).However,how to choose referent lines and evaluation standards based on MRI is a controversial question.The research progresses of MRI evaluation system for female pelvic organ prolapse were reviewed in the article.

Objective To construct the digitalized 3 dimensional(3D)model by using the CTA and MRA original images and to assess the differences in the pelvic and abdominal vessel display between CTA and MRA.Methods The original data set in 25 healthy youth female cases of CTA and MRA were collected.The datasets,reconstructed the 3D models of arteries and venous on 3D reconstruction software Mimics10.0 was used to construct the 3D model of pevic and abdominal vessels.The reconstruction situation of abdominal aorta,inferior vena cava,common iliac artery and common iliac venous,internal and external iliac artery and iliac venous,uterine artery,obturator artery and obturator venous,hip artery and its branches,internal pudendal artery,middle sacral artery and venous,ovarian artery and venous and sacral venous plexus were observed.Moreover the chi-square test was used to analyze whether the above vessel display rate having differences between the two kinds of model.Results The abdominal aorta,inferior vena cava,common iliac artery and common iliac venous,internal and external iliac artery and iliac venous and uterine artery almost reached 100 % display.The display rates of CTA model for right and left obturator artery and venous were 92 %,80 %,44 % and 32 % respectively,while which of MRA model were 84 %,72 %,36 % and 4% respectively,the difference was not statistically significant(P =0.382,P=0.508,P =0.564,P =0.382).The sacral venous plexus,including S1,2,3,4 transverse vein,the display rates in 25 cases of CTA 3D models were 4%,8%,0%and 4%respective,while which of MRA models were 76%,92%,96%and 44%respectively,the differences between them were statistically significant(P<0.01,P<0.01,P<0.01,P=0.01).Conclusion Based on the observation of 3D models,the displaying rate of grade 4 pelvic and abdominal vessels has no statistical difference between MRA imaging technology and currently widely used CTA technology,moreover the MRA technology is superior to the CTA technology in presacral vessel net display.

Objective:To explore the effects of the scaffolding-based flipped classroom approach in the teaching of Infectious Disease Nursing. Methods:We assigned 152 students of nursing and midwifery majors of grade 2018 (experimental group) to be taught using the scaffolding-based flipped classroom approach and 182 students of grade 2017 (control group) to be taught using the traditional lecture method. Teaching effects were evaluated through students' exam performance and a questionnaire survey. Numerical data were analyzed using the χ2 test and t test with the use of SPSS 18.0, and text data were processed using NVivo 11 for thematic analysis. Results:The experimental group and control group showed significant differences in the interim exam score (83.19±7.96 vs. 79.62±3.14, P<0.001) and final exam score (78.47±6.92 vs. 73.16±8.24, P<0.001). The students of grade 2018 had a high level of participation in online learning. The questionnaire results showed that the scaffolding-based flipped classroom was well recognized in terms of students' overall perception, perceived course quality, perceived value of learning, and satisfaction and the open-ended question, with low scores for learner complaints and loyalty. Conclusions:The scaffolding-based flipped classroom is feasible in the teaching of Infectious Disease Nursing, which can improve students' academic performance and overall competence.
