Objective:To analyze the characteristics and changes in incidence and mortality of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke among Chinese residents from 2015 to 2019.Methods:The incidence and mortality data of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke from 2015 to 2019 were collected from the China Registry of Cardiovascular Events (China RACE), which was established in 2014 and covered 100 counties (cities and districts) in 31 provinces in China. The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) was calculated using the Seventh National Census data as the standard population. The ratio of the incidence rate of ischemic stroke to hemorrhagic stroke was calculated. The subtype-specific mortality-to-incidence ratio (M/I) was calculated by the ratio of the number of deaths to the reported incidence cases. The relative ratio (RR) of M/I for ischemic to hemorrhagic stroke was calculated. The Joinpoint model was used to analyze the annual percentage change (APC) and trend of the incidence rate of stroke.Results:From 2015 to 2019, a total of 1 354 614 new stroke cases were reported, including 1 077 244 (79.52%) ischemic stroke and 277 370 (20.48%) hemorrhagic stroke cases, respectively. A total of 248 620 stroke deaths were reported, including 119 819 (48.19%) ischemic stroke deaths and 128 801 (51.81%) hemorrhagic stroke deaths. The incidence ratio of ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke from 2015 to 2019 was 3.50∶1, 3.76∶1, 3.63∶1, 4.23∶1, and 4.35∶1, respectively. From 2015 to 2019, there was no statistically significant annual trend of ASIR of ischemic stroke in overall, urban and rural areas and males ( Ptrend>0.05), while there was a downward trend in females (APC=-1.02%, Ptrend=0.042). The incidence of hemorrhagic stroke in the whole population, rural areas, males and females showed a downward trend ( Ptrend<0.05). Patients aged 45-49 years had an upward trend in the incidence rate of ischemic stroke (APC=3.82%, Ptrend=0.011), while those aged 70-74 years (APC=-7.37%, Ptrend=0.034), 80-84 years (APC=-9.75%, Ptrend=0.001) and 85 years and over (APC=-11.22%, Ptrend=0.017) presented a downward trend in the incidence of hemorrhagic stroke. During the period, the overall relative ratio of M/I (RR) for ischemic to hemorrhagic stroke was 4.2∶1, which was lower in urban than in rural areas (3.8 vs. 4.3). The largest gap between urban and rural areas was in the 55-59 age group (6.8 vs. 9.3). Conclusion:The incidence and mortality of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke among Chinese residents are severe from 2015 to 2019, and there are regional and population differences.

Objective:To present the epidemiological characteristics of ≤28 days case fatality in both hemorrhagic stroke (HS) and ischemic stroke (IS) patients in national cardiovascular disease surveillance areas from 2015 to 2019.Methods:Data on all new patients with stroke and ≤28 days outcomes from 2015 to 2019 were from the China Registry of Cardiovascular Events, which was established in 2014, covering 100 counties (cities, districts) in 31 provinces in China. Poisson regression was used to analyze the annual trend of ≤28 days case fatality. The age-standardized case fatality was directly calculated based on all new stroke onset.Results:In total, 112 069 deaths in HS patients ≤28 days after the onset, as well as 94 373 in IS patients, were identified during the study period. In 2019, the ≤28 days case fatality rate in HS patients was 4.75 times that of IS patients (37.08% vs. 7.80%), as well as that 4.06 times in urban areas (30.13% vs. 7.43%) and 5.30 times in rural areas (42.63% vs. 8.05%), respectively. Thus, in rural areas, HS patients showed 41.49% higher ≤28 days case fatality rate than that in urban areas, as well as 8.34% higher in IS patients. Those ≤28 days case fatality in both stroke subtypes onset increased with age and reached the highest level in those aged 85 years and over. During the study period, HS and IS patients in each age group displayed significant decrease trend in ≤28 days case fatality rate (trend P<0.001). Compared with that in 2015, the age-standardized ≤28 days case-fatality in HS patients in 2019 decreased by 28.52%, which was more in urban areas (-34.27%) than that in rural areas (-23.19%). Meanwhile, IS patients experienced a 39.90% reduction in ≤28 days case fatality, which was much lower in urban areas (-31.62%) than in rural areas (-45.10%, all trend P<0.001). Conclusions:From 2015 to 2019, ≤28 days case fatality in both HS and IS patients decreased in China. Wide variations of ≤28 days case-fatality were evident in the level and trend in stroke subtype, age of patients, as well as urban and rural areas. More precise and comprehensive strategies for stroke prevention, treatment, and post-stroke management are urgently required in China.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of implantable neuromuscular electrical stimulation system on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) model in female rats. Methods: A total of 21 female infertile SD rats were randomly divided into the control,sham stimulation,and stimulation groups,with 7 rats in each group.All rats received vaginal dilation (VD) to simulate postpartum SUI.One week after VD,the control group was given normal feeding,stimulators were implanted in the pelvic floor muscles of the sham stimulation and stimulation groups.The sham stimulation group received normal feeding for 2 weeks,and the stimulation group received pelvic floor electrical stimulation (PFES) for 2 consecutive weeks.The leak point pressure (LPP) of each rat was measured with cystometry before VD (baseline value),1 week after VD,and 2 weeks after PFES. Results: In the control group and sham stimulation group,LPP increased after 2 weeks of treatment compared with that after 1 week of VD,but it still did not return to the baseline level (P<0.001).In the stimulation group,after 2 consecutive weeks of PFES,LPP increased significantly compared with that 1 week after VD,and returned to the baseline value (P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the LPP baseline values and levels after 1 week of VD among the 3 groups (P>0.05).The LPP in the stimulation group after 2 weeks of PFES was significantly higher than that in the sham stimulation group and stimulation group (P<0.001). Conclusion: The implantable neuromuscular electrical stimulation system is effective in short-term intervention of SUI in female rats,the further studies are needed to confirm the long-term efficacy and safety of the system,the optimal stimulation sites,optimal stimulation parameters,and potential mechanisms of action.

Taking the micro-course The Connection Between Vertebrae as an example, this paper discusses the teaching design, production process and practical application of the anatomy micro-course, analyzes the existing problems and puts forward corresponding suggestions. The micro-course design integrates knowledge points with ideological and political elements, and applies a variety of teaching methods to make the teaching content interesting, enlightening and applicable. In the production process, using anatomical specimens, models and 3D software demonstration structure can make abstract knowledge intuitive and perceptual. Moreover, the artistry of micro-course is increased appropriately, and the misunderstanding of emphasizing appearance and neglecting design is avoided. The application of micro-course integrates the micro-course and online education platform to realize the intelligent education of information teaching. In addition, college teachers should improve the awareness of micro-course production and carry out systematic construction and application of micro-course resources.

Objective:To analyze the factors influencing the difference in location of cricothyroid membrane between traditional surface palpation and ultrasonic biplane.Methods:One hundred and seven subjects of both sexes, aged 18 yr, underwent neck ultrasound examination in our hospital from August 2021 to December 2021, were selected.The structure of cervical airway was observed by ultrasound.The subjects in whom the structure of cricothyroid membrane was clearly shown were selected.The middle point of cricothyroid membrane was located by otorhinolaryngologist using surface palpation method and by ultrasonic doctor using ultrasonic biplane method.The distance between two positioning points was measured by a ruler.The subjects were divided into accurate group (distance between two points≤3 mm) and difference group (distance between two points>3 mm). The distance between cricoid cartilage and thyroid cartilage (spacing of cricoid cartilage and thyroid cartilage) and distance between the midpoint of cricothyroid membrane and skin (spacing of cricothyroid membrane and skin) were measured by ultrasound.The neck length and the maximum submaxillary distance in head up were measured by a ruler.The factors influencing the difference in location between the two methods were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:One hundred and four subjects with clear cricoid cartilage and cricothyroid membrane under ultrasound were selected.There were significant differences in the ratio of gender, body mass index (BMI), cricothyroid membrane-skin distance, neck length, and maximum submandibular distance between the two groups ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that female ( OR=9.091, P<0.001), BMI ( OR=11.214, P=0.001) and increased cricothyroid membrane-skin distance ( OR=5.649, P=0.015) were the factors influencing the difference in location between the two cricothyroid membrane localization methods. Conclusions:Female, obesity (BMI>28.0 kg/m 2) and increased distance between cricothyroid membrane and skin are the factors affecting the difference in location of cricothyroid membrane between ultrasonic biplane method and surface palpation method, and bedside ultrasound is recommended for location in those with the factors mentioned above.

During the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), combining clinical "5+3" integrated students' characteristics and the contents of the courses, teachers applied the Zhihuishu platform and Tencent classroom in anatomy theory teaching to construct an efficient, accurate and interactive online flipped intelligent classroom covering before class -in class -after class. The ARCS (attention, relevance, confidence, satisfaction) motivation model was introduced into the teaching design to help ensure the effective implementation of flipped classroom. Before class, teachers used the Zhihuishu platform to publish learning resources which students can learn independently. In class, teachers used Tencent classroom for live teaching, to explain key and difficult points, and answer and discuss questions. After class, teachers used the Zhihuishu platform to publish exercise tests and assignments. The practice shows that the online teaching mode has been widely recognized by the students. It's helpful to cultivate the learning interest, improve the ability of autonomous learning and the ability of analyzing and solving problems. It also contributes to the implementation of the diversified formative assessment, and it lays a foundation for developing the mixed teaching after the epidemic.
