Objective To analyze the application of flipped classroom in the practical teaching of rehabilitation assessment courses for rehabilitation therapy majors,and to explore a new teaching method for rehabilitation therapy.Methods Eighty students majoring in rehabilitation therapy from the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Guangzhou Xinhua University in grade 2020 were selected as the research objects.They were assigned into observation group or control group according to the random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The observation group adopted the flip classroom teaching mode,and the rehabilitation assessment course teaching based on flipped classroom was carried out,while the control group adopted the traditional teaching mode.The students'theoretical and operational assessment results,teaching effect,and teaching model satisfaction were analyzed.Results No statistically significant differences were found in theoretical test scores between the two student groups(by gender/course).The students in the observation group had higher theoretical scores[(80.25±11.65 vs 72.50±14.28)score].The observation group showed significantly higher satisfaction scores than the control group across all three dimensions:classroom learning enthusiasm,teacher-student interaction,and overall teaching satisfaction.(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of flipped classroom in the rehabilitation therapy teaching is helpful to improve the professional theoretical level of students,and to a certain extent,it is beneficial to improve the professional level of teachers.

Autism spectrum disorder(ASD)is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder with onset in child-hood,characterized by persistent social communication deficits and restricted,repetitive patterns of behavior.In recent years,its global prevalence has shown a continuous upward trend.However,there remains a lack of effective treatments capable of improving brain function in ASD.This article systematically reviews the mechanisms,clinical efficacy,and safety of HBOT in ASD,while exploring its potential therapeutic value.Research indicates that HBOT exerts its effects through the following mechanisms:enhancing plasma oxygen saturation,thereby improving oxygen supply to ischemic brain regions;inhibiting microglial activation,reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine levels;modulating gut microbiota homeostasis,restoring brain-gut axis dysfunction.Clinical studies demonstrate that when HBOT is combined with Applied Behavior Analysis(ABA),it significantly reduces behavioral scale scores in children with ASD while improving their social interaction,self-care abilities,and verbal communication.Additionally,HBOT positively regulates oxidative stress markers and enhances perfusion in specific brain regions.Regarding safety,strict adherence to operational protocols minimizes the risk of adverse effects(e.g.,baro-trauma).This review provides evidence-based support for the standardized application of HBOT in ASD.Future re-search should focus on optimizing treatment protocols(e.g.,pressure and oxygen concentration parameters)and evaluating long-term efficacy.

Objective To analyze the influence of drainage volume on prognosis of acute hydrocephalus(AHC)after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage(aSAH)by continuous lumbar drainage.Methods A retrospective trial was conducted on 82 AHC patients after aSAH admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2017 and January 2022.In 6 months after discharge,modified Rankin Scale(mRS)score was used to evaluate the prognostic outcomes.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed on demographic factors,severity of subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)at admission,medical history,cerebral vasospasm,and lumbar drainage data.Then a nomogram prediction model was constructed.Results Univariate analysis found that World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies(WFNS)score,Hunt-Hess grade,modified Fisher grade,time for continuous lumbar drainage,shunt dependence,cerebral vasospasm,and drainage volume were factors affecting the prognosis of the patients.Then logistic regression analysis revealed that high WFNS score(OR:3.25,95％CI:1.11～9.48),high modified Fisher grade(OR:3.66,95％CI:1.08～12.35),shunt dependence(OR:15.56,95％CI:1.22～198.57),and cerebral vasospasm(OR:22.24,95％CI:3.08～160.68)were independent predictors for mRS score,while volume of continuous lumbar drainage(OR:0.57,95％CI:0.40～0.82)was an independent protective factor.ROC curve analysis indicated a good predictive performance of the model(AUC=0.898,95％CI:0.935～0.861).Internal validation through Bootstrap method demonstrated excellent discriminatory ability of the model(C-index=0.950,95％CI:0.904～0.996;adjusted C-index:0.934).Conclusion Increased volume of lumbar drainage is an independent protective factor for poor prognosis following aSAH and can improve the prognosis of SAH patients.

Objective:Anterior cruciate ligament injury is the most common type of knee joint ligament injury.Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has a high failure rate,with bone tunnel abnormalities as the most significant factor in these failures.Digital orthopedic technology can effectively develop implementation plans for the revision,thus increasing the success rate.This study aims to develop a surgical plan for anterior cruciate ligament revision by employing multiplanar reconstruction(MPR)for measuring bone tunnel position and diameter,and simulating bone tunnel creation via 3D printing preoperatively. Methods:A total of 12 patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament revision at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between 2014 and 2021 were retrospectively studied.The data included patient demographics,preoperative formulated knee joint 3D printing models,and preoperative knee CT scans.The study measured the bone tunnel's diameter and position to guide the establishment of revision bone tunnels during surgery,reassessed the postoperative bone tunnels,and evaluated knee joint functional scores[including International Knee Documentation Committee Knee Evaluation Form(IKDC)score,Lysholm score,and Tegner exercise level score]. Results:Preoperative measurements revealed suboptimal femoral tunnels positions in 4 patients and tibial tunnels positions in 2 patients.MPR and 3D printing technology were used to guide the establishment of a new bone canal during surgery,and postoperative measurements were satisfactory for all patients.Preoperative measurements demonstrated the interclass correlation coefficient for femoral tunnels and tibial tunnels diameters were 0.843(P<0.05)and 0.889(P<0.001),respectively.Meanwhile,the intraclass correlation coefficient were 0.811(P<0.05)and 0.784(P<0.05),respectively.The intraoperative diameter of femoral and tibial tunnels showed excellent correlation with postoperative CT measurements,with intraclass correlation coefficient values of 0.995(P<0.001)and 0.987(P<0.001),respectively.All bone tunnel positions were within the normal range.At the final follow-up,knee joint function scores in all 12 patients improved significantly compared to pre-surgery(P<0.001),and the reoperation rate was zero. Conclusion:MPR and 3D printing technology can accurately measure the parameters of reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament bone tunnels.Personalized revision plans for patients with reconstruction failure enhances the success rate of revision surgery and improves patient prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of 1 064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at different energy settings on cell viability, protease activity and structures of Malassezia furfur. Methods:Cultured standard strains of Malassezia furfur were divided into several groups to be irradiated with 1 064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at different energies of 0 (control group) , 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900 mJ, respectively. Then, fungal suspensions in the above groups were inoculated onto the Leeming & Notman medium separately. After 7-day culture, the diameter and number of colonies were measured to evaluate the fungal cell viability, the protease activity was measured by using the whole-milk plate medium, and the ultrastructure of Malassezia furfur in each group was observed by transmission electron microscopy. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparisons among multiple groups, least significant difference- t test for multiple comparisons, and Pearson correlation analysis for analyzing correlations of laser energy with colony diameter, number and protease activity. Results:The colony diameter and number both significantly differed among the control group, 500-, 600-, 700-, 800- and 900-mJ groups (colony diameter: 4.05 ± 0.69, 3.76 ± 0.51, 3.28 ± 0.41, 3.09 ± 0.72, 2.54 ± 0.64 and 2.43 ± 0.41 mm, respectively; colony number: 4 787 ± 597, 4 287 ± 761, 1 879 ± 275, 1 082 ± 248 and 209 ± 42, 72 ± 31 colony-forming units, respectively; F = 14.83, 231.85, respectively, both P < 0.05) , and were significantly decreased in the 600-, 700-, 800- and 900-mJ groups compared with the control group (all P < 0.05) . The laser energy was negatively correlated with the colony diameter and number ( r = -0.67, -0.91, respectively, both P < 0.05) . The protease activity significantly differed among the control group, 500-, 700- and 900-mJ groups ( F = 346.60, P < 0.05) , and was significantly lower in the 700- and 900-mJ groups than in the control group (both P < 0.05) . There was a negative correlation between the laser energy and protease activity ( r = -0.94, P < 0.05) . Transmission electron microscopy showed intact fungal structures in the control group, relatively intact fungal structures in the 500-mJ group, and obviously damaged fungal structures in the 600- to 900-mJ groups, and the greater the laser energy, the more severely the fungal structures were damaged. Conclusion:The 1 064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser could affect the cell viability of and protease activity in Malassezia furfur, and damage its structures.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of three antibody kits for novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and to investigate the feasibility and advantages of them in clinical application.Methods:A total of 104 patients who were admitted to Guangzhou Eighth People′s Hospital with COVID-19 from January to February 2020 were selected as research group. Fifty-one healthy subjects were selected during the same period as negative control group. Serum antibodies (IgM/IgG) against SARS-CoV-2 were detected using two kinds of colloidal gold kits (A and B kits) and one chemiluminescence kit (C kit). The positive rates of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in different samples from patients with COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The clinical sensitivity of A kit to detect SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM and IgG was 77.88% (81/104) and 65.38% (68/104), respectively, and the clinical specificity was 70.59% (36/51) and 100.00% (51/51). However, the false positive rate in IgM detection was as high as 29.41% (15/51). The sensitivity of B kit to test total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 was 63.46% (66/104), and the clinical specificity was 94.12% (48/51). The clinical sensitivity of C kit to detect SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM and IgG were respectively 31.73% (33/104) and 64.42% (67/104), and the clinical specificity were both 98.04% (50/51). There was a moderate correlation between the detection results of two colloidal gold kits and the chemiluminescence kit with the Kappa values of 0.462 and 0.587 ( Z=6.157, P<0.01; Z=7.345, P<0.01). C kit had the highest positive detection rate for IgG, and would be more reliable to be used for IgG detection in COVID-19 patients 14 d after onset. The total positive detection rate of nucleic acid in all types of samples was 63.46% (66/104). The highest positive detection rate was in throat swabs or sputum samples, followed by those in blood samples and anal swabs. No viral nucleic acid was detected in urine samples for the time being. Conclusions:SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies could be detected in the early or late stage of COVID-19. The method of antibody detection has the advantages of shorter detection time, simple operation and high biological safety, indicating that it could be used as a supplementary or auxiliary detection for the diagnosis of suspected COVID-19 cases with negative nucleic acid test results. The chemiluminescence kit has good sensitivity and specificity, and is well recommended for clinical laboratories.
