RESUMO
"Flipped Classroom" is a new kind of "student-centered" teaching model, which can give full play to the advantages of both sides of teaching and learning. According to this teaching model, we redesigned the teaching process, in which the students studied by themselves and built their own knowledge system. Moreover, each of them took part in three stages of experimental design including digital signal collection, analysis and processing in groups. Results have shown that this model can fully stimulate students' learning interest, not only helps students to deepen understanding of digital signal processing theory knowledge, but also strengthen the ability of autonomous learning and team collaboration. The teaching model maybe have certain reference function in comprehensive experiment teaching of Digital Signal Processing course for biomedical engineering specialty.
RESUMO
Based on the summary and reflection of the existing course construction content, this paper redesigns the course teaching to Brain Functional Imaging and forms a new curriculum construction scheme, including improving the professional teachers' ability of the teaching team by means of "internal training" + "external introduction", building an online and offline integrated teaching mode by combining online teaching resources such as course website with offline teaching (such as literature guidance, classroom discussion, comprehensive experimental design, etc.), and designing comprehensive experiments related to Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), which is driven by scientific research projects, based on the scientific research experimental platform of the teaching and research department. This construction scheme is of great significance for improving the teaching quality of the course, stimulating the learning interest of graduate students, and cultivating the comprehensive application and practical innovation ability of graduate students' brain imaging technology. And it also provides the reference for the further construction of the course and teaching reform in the future.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the normal anatomy of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of fresh frozen cadaveric knee specimen in oblique coronal thin-slice section with oblique coronal magnetic resonance imaging. Methods One fresh cadaveric knee specimen was scanned with MR T1-weighted spinecho sequence.then the specimen was frozen and sliced with a band saw along the oblique coronal plane into 1.0-mm-thick sections that corresponded to the MR images,MR images including oblique coronal T1-weighted and T2-weighted images of 50 normal the knee joints were retrospectively reviewed to observe the MR imaging features of the cruciate ligament. Results Anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of ACL were clearly depicted on both anatomic slices and MR images.The anteromedial bundles originated from the posteromedial aspect of the lateral femoral condyle,coursing through the lateral intercondylar notch in an anterior,inferior,and medial direction,and inserted on the anteromedial aspect of the intercondylar eminence. The posterolateral bundles originated from the anteromedial aspect of the lateral femoral condyle,passing laterally and inferiorly through the lateral intercondylar notch,and inserted on the posterolateral side of the intercondylar eminence.The full length of ACL of all 50 individuals was showed on MR images.MRI clearly differenitated the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of ACL and depicted the full length of the bundles.similar to the findings on sectional anatomy.Conclusion Oblique coronal MR imaging is the best way to demonstrate ACL and should be used for clinically suspected injury of ACL.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous laser disk decompression(PLDD) is a new interventional therapy of lumbar disk herniation recently. Posterior lateral route is often employed. Puncture route was investigated by the application of anatomic methods previously. However, there are relative fewer reports regarding the observation of the route of lumbar nerve root in intervertebral plane and triangle working area from thin section anatomy and CT section anatomy.OBJECTIVE: To clarify the intervertebral route and its adjacent relationship of lumbar nerve root on thin section and CT section to provide a anatomic gist for puncture route in PLDD.DESIGN: An observational study based on corpus and normal individual.SETTING: Department of radiology of a military medical university of Chinese PLA affiliated hospital and the department of anatomy of a military medical university of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: The collection of the first Chinese visible human was completed in the Department of Anatomy(laboratory of computer medicine) the Faculty of Medicine, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA in October 2002. Totally 53 subjects without confirmed vertebral and intervertebral disc diseases and other diseases of the adjacent organs received CT examination and measurement in the Department of Radiology of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA Affiliated Southwest Hospital between january and March 2000.INTERVENTIONS: The intervertebral route of lumbar nerve root in the first Chinese visible human was observed descriptively. The route, morphology, size, adjacent structure, and the distance between puncture line and lumbar nerve in 53 normal individuals were observed and measured by CT.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: To describe the intervertebral route of lumbar nerve root in the first CVH and normal individual, to measure the intervertebral length and width of lumbar nerve, and the distance between puncture line and lumbar nerve.RESULTS: The first Chinese visible human lumbar has 48 layers of intervertebral space with a thickness of each layer of 1.0 mm. The route and adjacent structure of lumbar nerve displayed in each section were clear. CT image clearly showed the intervertebral route, size and adjacent structure of lumbar nerve root.CONCLUSION: The first Chinese visible human lumbar nerve root intervertebral route is a continuous and intact thin section specimen. The intervertebral route and morphology of lumbar root nerve have great alterations. The relationship between puncture route and its adjacent lumbar nerve root, anterior articular process, ilium wing and vessels is very close.

RESUMO
Objective To establish more detailed dataset of Chinese visible human male. Methods After undergoing macroscopical, CT and MRI examinations to exclude organic lesion, a young aged, middle sized male cadaver was selected as the subject. First, morphological measurement and vascular perfusion were performed. Second, after embedding with 5% gelatin, the cadaver was put in ice house and frozen to -30 ℃ for 1 week. Third, TK 6350 numerical control milling machine (milling accuracy of 0.001 mm) was used to shave off slices of the body layer by layer from head to foot at -25 ℃ in low temperature laboratory. Fourth, the successive cross sections were photographed with high resolution digital camera and scanned into an animation computer. Thus, data acquisition from cadaver model was completed to obtain structural dataset of the human body. Results The selected sample was a 21 year old, 1 820 mm in height, 66 kg in weight male died due to non organic disease. CT with 1.0 mm slice thickness for the head and neck and 2.0 mm for the rest of the body was performed. MRI with 1.5 mm slice thickness for the head and neck and 3.0 mm for the rest of the body was also performed. A total of 18 398 serial cross sections with the thickness of 0.1 mm of each section were obtained. The digital photographs were sampled at a resolution of 10 989 056 (4 064?2 704) pixels. The data file of each section occupies 62.9 MB. The complete data files occupy 1 157.23 GB. The research results are issued simultaneously on the Internet (http://www.chinese visiblehuman.Conclusion ① Review of the related literatures reveals that the thinnest thickness of the reported cross section of the visible human dataset is 0.2 mm(the thickness of the sections of the skull base of the first case of Chinese visible human reported by our research group is 0.1 mm.), and the slices consist of several thousands of serial cross sections with several millions of pixels. The data files occupy several tens of GB or more than 100 GB. However, the thickness of the cross sections of the whole body of the dataset achieved in our research is 0.1 mm. The total slices consist of 18 398 serial cross sections with the photographic resolution of 11 million pixels and the total data file reaches 1 157.23 GB. The three indexes mentioned above are elevated by 1 log unit. ② We have solved the key technical problems in data acquisition of visible human such as super thin serial cross sectioning, enormous quantity of data storing and display of tiny blood vessels.
RESUMO
Objective To study the thin sectional anatomy and CT and MR imaging of ligamentous structures of foramen magnum (FM).Methods Six formalin fixed (10%) specimens including head and neck were selected, and each specimen was imaged with CT and MR. Three specimens were sectioned with frozen section technique, the others were sectioned with plastination. Ligamentous structures of FM on continuous thin sections were observed and compared with the images of CT and MRI.Results Continuous sections of 3.0 mm slice thickness for the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes of FM sectioned with frozen section technique were obtained.Continuous thin sections of 1mm slice thickness for the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes of FM sectioned with plastination were obtained. The resulting sections demonstrated excellent distinction of ligamentous structures of FM (including ligamentum alare, ligamentum transversum, membrana tectoria, anterior obturator membrane of atlas, posterior obturator membrane of atlas, and anterior atlanto-axial ligament). A good overall correlation between sections and images of CT and MR was found.Conclusions In combination with CT and MRI, continuous thin sections of FM offers a better understanding of ligamentous structures of FM.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyse the anatomical change of the human temporomandibular joint(TMJ) in the position of mandibular lateral displacement and to provide the anatomical data for temporomandibular disorder.Methods:3 of the 8 samples of selected fresh cadavers were adjusted to mandibular lateral displacement position, and 5 to edge-to-edge occlusion position,then samples were fixed and sectioned according to coronal and sagittal planes by using plastination technique. The feature of the thin plastination sections of the TMJ in the mandibular lateral displacement position and were compared with that in edge-to-edge occlusion position.Results:On the working side in mandibular lateral displacement position, condylar moved backwords,upwards and outside in the articular fossa. Articular discs of TMJ did not move following condylar movement,but posterior band of the articular disc was suppressed by the condylar and articular fossa. On the non-working side in mandibular lateral displacement position, condylar moved ahead,downwards and inwards along posterior incline of articular tuberculum,then articular discs did not move,and middle band of articular discs was suppressed by the condyle and articular tuberculum.Conclusions:The TMJ disc does not shift as TMJ condylar process turns in articular fossa.When the condylar turns and slides at the same time,the articular discs shift.
RESUMO
Objective To build the dataset of Chinese visible human female. Methods After undergoing macroscopical, CT and MRI examinations to exclude organic lesions, a young female cadaver of medium height was selected as the subject. After morphological measurement and vascular perfusion, the cadaver was embedded with 5% gelatin and cryopreserved in a -30 ℃ icehouse for 1 week. A digital milling machine TK 6350 (milling accuracy of 0.001 mm) was used to shave off slices of the body layer by layer from head to foot in a laboratory at -25 ℃. The successive cross sections were photographed with a high definition digital camera, and the pictures were put into a computer to establish a dataset of human body. By utilizing the image dataset derived from the successive cross sections, 3D reconstruction and stereodisplay of human structure were finished with a SGI Workstation which was equipped with an independently self developed software package for 3D reconstruction. Results The selected specimen, a 22 year old female native of Chongqing, was 1 620 mm in height, 54 kg in weight and died of non organic disease. CT scans were made in every 1.0 mm for head and neck and every 2.0 mm for rest parts, and the thickness for MRI scans was 1.5 mm for head and 3.0 mm for rest parts. For serial cross sections, the thickness was 0.25 mm for head and 0.5 mm for rest parts. Thus, a total of 3640 slices were obtained, and the photo for every slice was saved as a 36 MB file in a resolution of 6 291 456 pixels (3 072?2 048). Finally, the complete data files reached to 131.04 GB. Conclusion ① This is the first formally reported case of Chinese visible human female, suggesting that China becomes the second country owning visible human female dataset of her population. We set up a website for the purpose of exchanging ideas and information on this subject. So, the results are issued simultaneously on the Internet (http://www.chinesevisiblehuman.com).② According to US Visible Human Project(VHP), the data of the 3 junctional parts of their female cadaver were absent because the body was cut into 4 segments. Taking the age of 59 year old into account, the visible human female's body was not exactly perfect. The sections of 0.33 mm in thickness were saved to pictures at a resolution of 2 490 368 pixels (2 048?1 216). While, the first Chinese visible human female reported here is a young female without organic disease or lesion. No sectional datum is lost for being acquired from successive sections of the whole body. The resolution of cross sectional image reaches to 6 291 456 pixels (3 072?2 048).
