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.

Objective To evaluate the effect of cardiopulmonary ultrasound in guiding volume ther-apy in the patients with sepsis-induced myocardial injury. Methods Thirty-eight patients of both sexes with septic myocardial injury, aged 28-64 yr, weighing 60-90 kg, received anti-infection, respiratory and circulatory comprehensive treatment. The patients were divided into group Ⅰ ( n=19) and group Ⅱ(n=19) by using a random number table method. Central venous pressure (CVP) was used to guide vol-ume therapy, and fluid replacement was carried out using the CVP 2-5 principle in groupⅠ. Cardiopulmo-nary ultrasound was used to guide volume therapy in group Ⅱ. Blood samples were taken before volume therapy and on 1, 3 and 5 days after volume therapy to determine the concentrations of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponin I and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB in serum. The CVP, positive fluid balance, lactic acid, central venous oxygen saturation and urine volume were recorded at 6, 24, 48 and 72 h after volume therapy. Left ventricular ejection fraction was recorded at 1, 3 and 5 days after vol-ume therapy. The length of intensive care unit stay and 28-day fatality were recorded. Results Compared with groupⅠ, the CVP and fluid positive balance were significantly decreased at each time point after vol-ume therapy, the concentration of serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide was decreased at 5 days after volume therapy ( P<0. 05) , and no significant difference was found in concentrations of cardiac tropo-nin I and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB in serum, lactic acid, central venous oxygen saturation and urine volume, left ventricular ejection fraction, length of intensive care unit stay or 28-day fatality rate at each time point in groupⅡ( P>0. 05) . Conclusion Cardiopulmonary ultrasound can reduce the volume of liq-uid infused, avoid fluid overload and avoid accentuating myocardial injury when used to guide volume thera-py in the patients with sepsis-induced myocardial injury.

Objective To evaluate the value of bedside lung ultrasound for diagnosis of acute re-spiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS) and for assessment of the severity. Methods Fifty patients of both se-xes suspected of having ARDS ( oxygenation index<300 mmHg) and required lung CT tests and Pulse Indi-cator Continuous Cardiac Output because of their condition, aged 18-80 yr, were selected. At 24 h after entering ICU, chest CT, lung ultrasound and arterial blood gas analysis were performed to record Extravas-cular Lung Water Index ( EVLWI) and the number of B lines, and lung injury ultrasound score and oxygen-ation index were calculated. The patients diagnosed with ARDS by chest CT and lung ultrasound were divid-ed into 3 groups: mild group ( 200 mmHg<oxygenation index≤300 mmHg) , moderate group ( 100 mmHg<oxygenation index≤200 mmHg) and severe group ( oxygenation index≤100 mmHg) . Kappa consistency a-nalysis was used to assess the consistency between lung ultrasound and chest CT in diagnosis of ARDS. The receiver operating characteristic curves of th number of B lines, EVLWI and lung injury ultrasound score in assessing the severity of ARDS were drawn, and the area under the curve and 95% confidence interval ( CI) , critical value, sensitivity and specificity were calculated. Results Forty-six patients were diag-nosed as having ARDS by both chest CT and lung ultrasound. There was good consistency ( Kappa value 0. 648, P<0. 01) between chest CT and lung ultrasound in diagnosis of ARDS. There was good consistency ( Kappa value 0. 788, P<0. 01) between lung ultrasound and chest CT in diagnosis of pulmonary consolida-tion. Lung ultrasound and chest CT were in good agreement ( Kappa value 0. 825, P<0. 01) with each oth-er in diagnosis of pulmonary consolidation in the posterior region. Compared with mild group, the lung inju-ry ultrasound score was significantly increased, and the number of B lines was increased in moderate group, and the lung injury ultrasound score and EVLWI were significantly increased, and the number of B lines was increased in severe group ( P<0. 05) . Compared with moderate group, the lung injury ultrasound score and EVLWI were significantly increased, and the number of B lines was increased in severe group ( P<0. 05) . The area under the curve ( 95% CI ) of the number of B lines in diagnosing severe ARDS was 0. 915 ( 0. 905-0. 935 ) , and the critical value, sensitivity and specificity were 15. 5, 78. 9% and 85. 2%, respectively. The area under the curve ( 95% CI) of lung injury ultrasound score in diagnosing severe ARDS was 0. 856 (0. 833-0. 878), and the critical value, sensitivity and specificity were 25. 5, 73. 7% and 82. 5%, respectively. The area under the curve (95% CI) of EVLWI in diagnosing severe ARDS was 0. 907 ( 0. 888-0. 933) , and the critical value, sensitivity and specificity were 15. 5, 73. 7%and 92. 6%, respectively. Conclusion Lung ultrasound can be used for diagnosis of ARDS and for evalu-ation of the severity of ARDS.
