This scoping review was conducted based on the Joanna Briggs Institute's theoretical framework and registered with the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/b27wc). The study analyzed 29 manuscripts published between 2013 and 2023, focusing on imaging exams to synthesize evidence on the anatomy and clinical correlations of the upper urinary tract. The results revealed significant findings, highlighting the intrarenal pelvis as a possible predictive indicator of urinary loss after partial nephrectomy. This emphasizes the importance of anatomical assessment of the renal pelvis. Brödel's avascular plane has been categorized into three types relevant to pre-surgical patient planning. Multiple renal arteries and venous variations have also been reported, including retro-aortic and circum-aortic renal veins. A movable section related to the ureter was described in the perirenal space, delimited by the point of intersection with the gonadal vessels. The ureteropelvic and ureterovesical junctions were found to be anatomical points susceptible to ureteral constriction. On the other hand, the point at which the ureter crosses the iliac vessels is no longer considered a site prone to ureteral obstruction. The authors emphasize the need to adopt a standardized terminology to describe the anatomical variations of the blood vessels related to the kidney. Using diverse and unclear terms can hinder teaching and research in this area and lead to inaccuracies. From the authors' perspective, imaging exams have enhanced anatomical accuracy, benefiting the teaching of human anatomy and significantly contributing to continuous medical breakthroughs.
本范围综述基于乔安娜-布里格斯研究所(Joanna Briggs Institute)的理论框架进行,并在开放科学框架(https://osf.io/b27wc)上进行了注册。研究分析了2013年至2023年间发表的29篇手稿,重点关注成像检查,以综合上尿路解剖和临床相关性方面的证据。结果显示,肾盂内是肾部分切除术后遗尿的可能预测指标。这强调了对肾盂进行解剖评估的重要性。Brödel 的血管平面被分为三种类型,与手术前的患者规划相关。也有报道称存在多种肾动脉和静脉变异,包括主动脉后肾静脉和环主动脉肾静脉。肾周间隙有一个与输尿管有关的可移动部分,以与性腺血管的交汇点为界。发现输尿管骨盆和输尿管静脉交界处是输尿管容易收缩的解剖点。另一方面,输尿管与髂血管的交叉点不再被认为是输尿管阻塞的易发部位。作者强调有必要采用标准化术语来描述与肾脏有关的血管的解剖变化。使用不同且不明确的术语会妨碍该领域的教学和研究,并导致不准确的结果。在作者看来,成像检查提高了解剖学的准确性,有利于人体解剖学的教学,并极大地促进了医学的不断突破。

Background

Inguinal hernia is one of the most common visceral surgical conditions in industrialised countries. The aim of the present observational clinical study was to investigate the dermatome patterns after nerve injury following inguinal hernia surgery and to demonstrate the marked individual anatomical and topographical variability of peripheral nerves in the inguinal region.

Methods

220 patients were followed up for one year after inguinal herniotomy. Surgical treatment was performed either with tension-free mesh techniques or open according (Lichtenstein).

Results

One year after inguinal herniotomy, 25 patients (11.4 %) reported postoperative symptoms. Of these, 15 patients showed evidence of a distinct nerve lesion. The results of the clinical neurological examination sometimes differed considerably from the subjective perceptions of the patients. In addition, a marked individual variability in the dermatomes of surgically lesioned nerves was found, with discrepancies to the classical and conventional dermatome data in textbooks.

Conclusions

This study has shown that it is hardly possible to assign a specific lesional inguinal dermatome to a specific nerve, as nerves show a large individual variability in their anatomical, topographical location and thus in their dermatome boundaries. Therefore, we propose a descriptive approach to the terminology of peripheral inguinal nerve lesions using common regional landmarks. This will avoid a potentially erroneous dermatome assignment to a certain nerve and facilitate the reproducibility of lesion descriptions between different observers, thus facilitating communication in clinical practice.
背景:腹股沟疝是工业化国家最常见的内脏外科疾病之一。本临床观察研究的目的是调查腹股沟疝手术后神经损伤后的皮膜形态,并证明腹股沟区周围神经在解剖学和地形学上存在明显的个体差异。方法:对 220 名腹股沟疝气切除术后一年的患者进行随访,手术治疗采用无张力网技术或开放式(Lichtenstein):结果:腹股沟疝气切除术一年后,25 名患者(11.4%)出现术后症状。其中,15 名患者有明显的神经损伤迹象。临床神经检查的结果有时与患者的主观感觉相差很大。此外,还发现手术病变神经的皮节存在明显的个体差异,与教科书中经典和传统的皮节数据存在差异:本研究表明,很难将特定的腹股沟病变皮节归属于特定的神经,因为神经在解剖学和地形学位置上存在很大的个体差异,因此其皮节边界也存在很大的个体差异。因此,我们建议采用一种描述性的方法,利用常见的区域地标来命名腹股沟周围神经病变。这将避免对某一神经进行可能错误的皮测分配,并提高不同观察者之间病变描述的可重复性,从而促进临床实践中的交流。

Background and objective

There is currently a lack of anatomical research on the C7 pedicle and lateral mass in children aged 0–14 years, and experience with pediatric lower cervical spine surgeries remains limited. This study aims to investigate the anatomical structure of the C7 pedicle and lateral mass in a large pediatric sample to understand their growth patterns, providing imaging and anatomical references for pediatric lower cervical spine surgeries and the design of pediatric C7 screws.

Methods

We measured 12 parameters, including the width, length, height, and angles of the C7 pedicle and lateral mass in children aged 0–14 years. The t-test was used to analyze bilateral and gender differences, and least squares regression was applied for curve fitting analysis.

Results

The size parameters of the C7 pedicle and lateral mass generally increased with age, while angular parameters fluctuated within specific ranges. The average values for each parameter between ages 0–14 were as follows: D1: 2.78–5.28 mm, D2: 18.15–30.54 mm, D3: 2.44–6.01 mm, angle A: 38.05–44.48°; D4: 6.81–10.94 mm, D5: 5.37–11.23 mm, D6: 8.07–13.28 mm, D7: 1.94–4.88 mm, D8: 5.67–9.39 mm, angle C: 18.50–28.80°, angle D: 43.23–52.01°, angle E: 33.74–44.96°. Bilateral analysis showed no significant differences for most parameters across most age groups, with differences mainly observed in angle A, angle C, D6, and D8. Gender differences were primarily noted in length parameters across different age groups, especially in the 3–4, 6–7, 9–11, and 13–14 age groups. Regression analysis indicated that most parameters followed cubic function curves, while a few followed power or quadratic function curves.

Conclusion

This study provides detailed CT imaging anatomy of the C7 pedicle and lateral mass in children aged 0–14 years. Preoperative thin-slice CT scans and careful measurements of key parameters are essential for pediatric lower cervical spine surgeries. The findings offer valuable imaging and anatomical references for pediatric posterior cervical fixation surgery and screw design.
背景和目的:目前缺乏对0至14岁儿童C7椎弓根和侧块解剖结构的研究,小儿下颈椎手术经验仍然有限。本研究旨在调查大量儿科样本中C7椎弓根和侧块的解剖结构,了解其生长模式,为儿科下颈椎手术和儿科C7螺钉的设计提供影像学和解剖学参考:我们测量了0至14岁儿童C7椎弓根和侧块的宽度、长度、高度和角度等12个参数。采用t检验分析双侧和性别差异,并应用最小二乘法回归进行曲线拟合分析:结果:C7椎弓根和侧块的尺寸参数一般随年龄增长而增加,而角度参数则在特定范围内波动。0-14 岁期间各参数的平均值如下:D1:2.78-5.28mm,D2:18.15-30.54mm,D3:2.44-6.01mm,角度 A:38.05-44.48°:38.05-44.48°;D4:6.81-10.94mm,D5:5.37-11.23mm,D6:8.07-13.28mm,D7:1.94-4.88mm,D8:5.67-9.39mm,C 角:18.50-28.80°,D 角:43.23-52.01°,E 角:33.74-44.96°。双侧分析表明,大多数年龄组的大多数参数无明显差异,差异主要体现在 A 角、C 角、D6 和 D8。不同年龄组的性别差异主要体现在长度参数上,尤其是 3-4、6-7、9-11 和 13-14 年龄组。回归分析表明,大多数参数遵循三次函数曲线,少数遵循幂函数或二次函数曲线:本研究提供了0至14岁儿童C7椎弓根和侧肿块的详细CT成像解剖结构。术前薄层 CT 扫描和关键参数的仔细测量对小儿下颈椎手术至关重要。研究结果为小儿颈椎后路固定手术和螺钉设计提供了有价值的成像和解剖学参考。

Background

Evolutionary changes in human rib cage morphology rendered it prone to pathologies like Scheuermann's kyphosis (SK). However, the impact of SK on rib cage morphology is unclear.

Purpose

This study aimed to examine differences in rib cage morphology (e.g., ribs and sternum) between SK patients and a control group.

Methods

Measurements of the vertebral body, transverse process angle, sternum, and rib size were taken from the skeletons of SK patients (76) and a control group (96). Statistical tests were carried out to examine differences between the study and control groups and between the right and left sides. Correlations were obtained to examine the associations between the extent of the kyphosis (kyphosis angle) and rib cage variables.

Results

The SK group yielded significantly longer and flatter ribs than the control group in both sexes. However, males had the largest differences in the 9th rib and females in the upper ribs (5−7). Inconsistency in symmetry results was found between the sexes. In summary, SK patients had a larger anteroposterior diameter in relation to the transverse diameter than the control group.

Discussion and Conclusions

SK affects the morphology of the entire thorax and changes rib proportions similarly in males and females. These changes might have a role in bipedal stability and locomotion efficiency. Moreover, understanding the unique anatomy of SK patients is essential when performing an anterior release and anterior fusion operative approach. Finally, it provides insights into respiratory complications and poor prognosis related to individuals suffering from severe hyperkyphosis.
背景:人类肋骨笼形态的进化变化使其容易发生病变,如舍尔曼氏脊柱侧弯症(SK)。目的:本研究旨在探讨SK患者与对照组之间在肋骨笼形态(如肋骨和胸骨)方面的差异:从 SK 患者(76 例)和对照组(96 例)的骨骼中测量椎体、横突角、胸骨和肋骨的尺寸。对研究组和对照组之间以及左右两侧之间的差异进行了统计检验。对脊柱后凸的程度(后凸角度)和肋骨笼变量之间的相关性进行了检验:结果:SK 组的肋骨明显比对照组的肋骨更长、更平,男女均是如此。然而,男性第 9 肋骨和女性上肋骨的差异最大(5-7)。性别间的对称性结果不一致。总之,与对照组相比,SK 患者的前胸直径相对于横径较大:讨论和结论:SK 会影响整个胸廓的形态,并同样改变男性和女性的肋骨比例。这些变化可能会影响两足的稳定性和运动效率。此外,在采用前路松解和前路融合手术方法时,了解 SK 患者的独特解剖结构至关重要。最后,它还为患有严重脊柱后凸的患者的呼吸系统并发症和不良预后提供了见解。

Caspase-12 is a molecule whose functions are still not well understood. Although its expression has been found in various tissues, specific roles have been described in only a few cases. These include the effect of caspase-12 on murine bone cell differentiation during craniofacial development. This work focused on the development of the limbs taking place through endochondral ossification, which precedes the formation of the cartilaginous growth plate. Caspase-12 was described here for the first time in growth plate chondrocytes during physiological development. Using pharmacological inhibition, caspase-12 was found to affect chondrogenesis. Limb-derived micromass cultures showed a significantly increased area of chondrogenic nodules after caspase-12 inhibition and there were changes in gene expression, the most significant of which was the reduction of Mmp9. These data point to potential new functions of caspase-12 in chondrogenesis.
Caspase-12 是一种功能尚不十分明确的分子。虽然在各种组织中都发现了它的表达,但只有少数情况下描述了它的具体作用。其中包括 Caspase-12 在颅面发育过程中对小鼠骨细胞分化的影响。这项工作的重点是在软骨生长板形成之前通过软骨内骨化进行的四肢发育。这里首次描述了生长板软骨细胞在生理发育过程中的 Caspase-12。通过药理抑制,发现Caspase-12会影响软骨形成。在抑制caspase-12后,肢源微量培养物显示软骨形成结节的面积明显增加,基因表达也发生了变化,其中最显著的变化是Mmp9的减少。这些数据表明了caspase-12在软骨形成过程中的潜在新功能。

Objective

The purpose of this study was to establish an anatomical foundation for minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery in adolescents by assessing the 3D anatomical parameters of the lumbar vertebrae in the age group of 12–21 years.

Methods

We collected CT data from 90 adolescents and performed 3D reconstructions using Mimics 16.0 software. The dimensions assessed included the height and sagittal diameter of the intervertebral foramen, as well as the length and widths of the transverse and spinous processes.

Results

The intervertebral foramen height exhibited variation corresponding to the vertebral level, being smallest at L5/S1 and largest at L3/4. The sagittal diameter of the intervertebral foramen increased with age, reaching a minimum at L1/2 and a maximum at L4/5. Significant gender differences were observed in the 12–14 age group, with females exhibiting larger measurements than males. The length and width of the transverse processes were maximal at L3 and L5, respectively. The spinous process length was greatest at L3 and smallest at L5, with notable gender differences present in the 12–14 and 19–21 age groups.

Conclusion

The study reveals that gender and age are significant factors influencing the anatomy of the adolescent lumbar spine, which is essential for the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques. Our findings contribute valuable insights for the design and surgical planning of spinal devices tailored to adolescents.
研究目的本研究旨在通过评估 12-21 岁年龄组腰椎的三维解剖参数,为青少年微创腰椎手术奠定解剖学基础:我们收集了 90 名青少年的 CT 数据,并使用 Mimics 16.0 软件进行了三维重建。评估的尺寸包括椎间孔的高度和矢状直径,以及横突和棘突的长度和宽度:椎间孔高度随椎体水平而变化,L5/S1最小,L3/4最大。椎间孔的矢状直径随着年龄的增长而增加,在 L1/2 达到最小值,在 L4/5 达到最大值。在 12-14 岁年龄组中观察到明显的性别差异,女性的测量值大于男性。横突的长度和宽度分别在 L3 和 L5 达到最大值。棘突长度在 L3 最大,在 L5 最小,12-14 岁和 19-21 岁年龄组存在明显的性别差异:研究显示,性别和年龄是影响青少年腰椎解剖的重要因素,这对微创手术技术的发展至关重要。我们的研究结果为设计和手术规划适合青少年的脊柱装置提供了宝贵的见解。

Background

The current evidence-based systematic review with meta-analysis presents a detailed overview of the cystic artery (CA) surgical anatomy, including its origin, number, topography, and morphometry. Moreover, the surgical implications of these variants are further discussed.

Methods

According to the Evidence-Based Anatomy Workgroup and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, the systematic review was performed using four online databases. The Anatomical Quality Assurance Tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias. Meta-analysis was performed with the R programming software. The pooled prevalence and pooled mean of different CA parameters were calculated.

Results

The CA most commonly originated from the right hepatic artery (a pooled prevalence of 85.75 %). Other described origins (in order of frequency) were the aberrant right hepatic artery, the common hepatic, the left hepatic, the gastroduodenal, the superior mesenteric, and the middle hepatic arteries. The CA was single in 88.59 %, while it can be identified as double, triple, or absent. Most commonly, it was located inside the cystohepatic triangle in 83.83 %. Most commonly, it was superomedially to the cystic duct (77.80 %) and posteriorly to the common hepatic duct (35.08 %). The CA pooled mean length was 21.34 mm, and its diameter was more commonly over 1 mm.

Conclusion

The CA surgical anatomy is paramount when operating on the gallbladder. The CA's altered anatomy and adjacent area could lead to confusion, iatrogenic injury, and prolonged surgical time. The CA depicts high morphological variability; therefore, surgeons should consider the typical anatomy and possible (usual and unusual) variants.
背景:当前的循证系统综述和荟萃分析详细概述了囊状动脉(CA)的手术解剖,包括其起源、数量、地形和形态。此外,还进一步讨论了这些变异的手术意义:根据循证解剖学工作组和 PRISMA 2020 指南,利用四个在线数据库进行了系统性综述。解剖学质量保证工具用于评估偏倚风险。使用 R 编程软件进行元分析。计算了不同CA参数的集合患病率和集合平均值:结果:CA最常见的来源是肝右动脉(合计发生率为85.75%)。其他描述的起源(按频率排序)为异常右肝动脉、肝总动脉、左肝动脉、胃十二指肠动脉、肠系膜上动脉和肝中动脉。88.59% 的患者为单侧 CA,也有可能是双侧、三侧或无 CA。最常见的是,83.83%的 CA 位于膀胱肝三角内。最常见的是位于膀胱导管的上方(77.80%)和肝总管的后方(35.08%)。CA集合平均长度为21.34毫米,直径通常超过1毫米:结论:在对胆囊进行手术时,CA的手术解剖结构至关重要。结论:在对胆囊进行手术时,CA 的解剖结构是最重要的。CA 的解剖结构和邻近区域的改变可能会导致混乱、先天性损伤和手术时间延长。CA 的形态变化很大,因此,外科医生应考虑典型的解剖结构和可能的(常见的和不常见的)变异。

Background

The anatomy of the pectoral nerves and the two nerve loops on the course of the axillary artery was revisited to complement current general descriptions as well as to argue whether the nerves contributing to the formation of the pectoral loop are the cranial pectoral nerves. Besides, the positional relationship between the scalene muscles and the nerve roots of the brachial plexus, which contribute to the nerves aimed in this study, was also examined at the same time as the dissection.

Methods

Twenty brachial plexuses of 10 domestic adult goats (8 females and 2 males) were examined using gross dissection in this study.

Results

In many dissections (95 %), the last bundle of scalenus ventralis muscle was found to pass between the roots of C7 and C8, dividing the brachial plexus into the cranial (ventral) and caudal (dorsal) parts. Two pectoral nerves were noted to contribute to the formation of the first nerve loop around the axillary artery. The first pectoral nerve arose predominantly from the ventral branches of C6 and C7 in company with the n. musculocutaneus, while the second pectoral nerve arose directly from C8 in 70 % of the dissections or as the first branch of the n. thoracicus lateralis (C8, T1) in the remaining 30 %. After the nerve loop, the second pectoral nerve branched off to innervate the superficial surface of the m. pectoralis profundus toward its insertion. The m. subclavius was found to receive its innervation from several sources, including the ventral branches of the brachial plexus. Interestingly, in 4 of the 14 dissections a communication between the n. subclavius and the n. phrenicus heretofore not found in the animal anatomy literature was found. In 16 of the 20 dissections (60 %), the ramus muscularis proximalis of the n. musculocutaneus received the communicating branch(s) from the n. medianus at the site of the second nerve loop, ansa axillaris.

Conclusion

The second pectoral nerve contributing to the pectoral loop would be better described as the caudal pectoral nerve rather than the cranial pectoral nerve. Besides the evolutionary perspectives, understanding the findings of this study would be helpful for teaching veterinary anatomy.
背景:我们重新研究了胸神经和腋动脉上两个神经环路的解剖结构,以补充目前的一般描述,并论证有助于形成胸神经环路的神经是否为头颅胸神经。此外,在解剖的同时,还研究了头皮肌与臂丛神经根之间的位置关系,这也是本研究的目标神经:方法:本研究使用大体解剖法对 10 只家养成年山羊(8 只雌性和 2 只雄性)的 20 条臂丛神经进行了检查:结果:在许多解剖中(95%),发现鳞状腹肌的最后一束穿过 C7 和 C8 的根部之间,将臂丛分为头侧(腹侧)和尾侧(背侧)两部分。在腋动脉周围形成的第一个神经环中有两条胸神经。在70%的解剖中,第一条胸神经主要来自C6和C7的腹侧分支,与胸大肌(n. musculocutaneus)伴生;而在其余30%的解剖中,第二条胸神经直接来自C8,或作为胸侧神经(n. thoracicus lateralis,C8,T1)的第一分支。在神经环路之后,第二胸神经分支支配胸大肌浅表,向其插入处延伸。研究发现,锁骨下神经的神经支配来自多个来源,包括臂丛神经的腹侧分支。有趣的是,在 14 例解剖中的 4 例中,发现了迄今为止在动物解剖学文献中尚未发现的锁骨下肌和膈肌之间的沟通。在 20 例解剖中的 16 例(60%)中,正中肌近侧的横纹肌在第二神经环路腋窝的位置接受了来自正中肌的沟通分支:结论:有助于形成胸肌环的第二胸神经最好称为尾胸神经,而不是颅胸神经。除了从进化角度看问题外,了解这项研究的结果对兽医解剖学教学也有帮助。

Purpose

The elongated styloid process (SP) is associated with internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection, due to its close relationship with the vessel. However, the relationship with the variable ossified stylohyoid chain (SHC) has been scarcely studied. The current study investigated the relationship between the temporal bone's SP and the external and internal carotid arteries (ECA and ICA). The hypothesis was that the morphological variants of the SP influence this relationship.

Methods

Sixty multidetector computed tomography angiographies (120 heminecks) were randomly selected and retrospectively analyzed. SP elongation and the degree of SHC ossification were assessed. The distances (mm) between the SP and the carotid arteries (CAs) were measured.

Results

Elongated SPs were present in 21 patients (35 %), while 18 patients (30 %) exhibited variable degrees of SHC ossification. The mean distance from the SP tip and ECA was 5.45 ± 3.01 mm from the ECA and 6.16 ± 3.11 mm to the ICA. The minimum distance between SP and ECA was 3.96 ± 2.74 mm, and between SP and ICA was 4.72 ± 2.73 mm. A statistically significant reduction in SP-ICA distance was observed in cases with elongated SP and SHC ossification, while the SP-ECA distance was statistically significantly shorter in cases of SP elongation. Additionally, three novel topographical patterns between the SP and surrounding vascular structures were identified.

Conclusions

SP elongation and variable SHC ossification may impact the spatial relationship between the SP and the ICA/ECA. The proximity of the SP to the carotid arteries, particularly the ICA, holds clinical significance, as a reduced distance may predispose patients to carotid artery dissection, increasing the risk of stroke.
目的由于伸长的花柱(SP)与颈内动脉(ICA)关系密切,因此与颈内动脉夹层有关。然而,有关其与可变骨化的蝶骨链(SHC)之间关系的研究却很少。本研究调查了颞骨 SP 与颈内外动脉(ECA 和 ICA)之间的关系。方法随机选择并回顾性分析了六十例多载体计算机断层扫描血管造影(120 例半月板)。评估了 SP 的伸长和 SHC 的骨化程度。结果21名患者(35%)的SP延长,18名患者(30%)的SHC骨化程度不一。SP顶端与ECA的平均距离为5.45 ± 3.01 mm,与ICA的平均距离为6.16 ± 3.11 mm。SP 与 ECA 之间的最小距离为 3.96 ± 2.74 mm,SP 与 ICA 之间的最小距离为 4.72 ± 2.73 mm。据统计,在SP和SHC骨化伸长的病例中,SP-ICA间距明显缩短,而在SP伸长的病例中,SP-ECA间距明显缩短。此外,还发现了 SP 与周围血管结构之间的三种新的地形模式。SP与颈动脉(尤其是ICA)的距离具有临床意义,因为距离缩短可能使患者容易发生颈动脉夹层,从而增加中风的风险。

Introduction

In recent years, modern technologies have become established in most educational fields. Thus, e-learning tends to be an integral part of the learner-centered learning process, with the teacher acting as a facilitator. However, the methodologies used to study the impact of e-learning have been varied and imprecise, making comparison and meta-analysis difficult. This study attempts to overcome these obstacles with a large and homogeneous sample to compare (1) the academic outcomes obtained with face-to-face and e-learning in a blended module of human anatomy and (2) the response attempts (response index) of each student in answering questions specific to each learning modality.

Material and methods

The results of the multiple-choice exams under study were collected. All students (n=1160) were from four consecutive academic years following the same teaching program with a b-learning method: 13 topics were presented face to face by the same lecturers, and six via e-learning with the same online resources. Two variables were compared: (1) the academic grade, based on the score for correct answers and the penalty for incorrect ones, and (2) the response index, based on the number of correct and incorrect answers.

Results

(1) 73.45 % of the examinees passed the test. In the sample as a whole, results were better in face-to-face than in e-learning. In the quartiles ordered by overall academic performance, this superiority was limited to the top half of the higher-performing students. In contrast, lower-scoring students performed better in e-learning. However, these differences were modest (≤ 0.54 points). (2) In proportion, the questions on topics learned face-to-face were the most frequently answered. A strong correlation was observed between the variables in the whole sample and the students with the highest academic scores (first quartile) on the global exam and the questions on topics learned in each modality. In the remaining quartiles, the correlation was also strong in the e-learning content.

Conclusions

(1) Both modalities included in b-learning are academically effective. (2) Proportionally, students take more risks when answering content questions learned in face-to-face classes, and there is a strong correlation between response attempts and academic grades, especially, on the brightest exams and e-learning content.
引言近年来,现代技术已在大多数教育领域得到应用。因此,电子学习往往成为以学习者为中心的学习过程中不可或缺的一部分,而教师则扮演着促进者的角色。然而,用于研究电子学习影响的方法多种多样,而且不精确,因此很难进行比较和元分析。本研究试图克服这些障碍,采用大量同质样本,比较(1)在人体解剖学混合模块中通过面授和电子学习获得的学术成果,以及(2)每个学生在回答每种学习方式的特定问题时的反应尝试(反应指数):收集所研究的选择题考试成绩。所有学生(n=1160)均来自连续四个学年的同一教学计划,并采用 b-learning 方法:13个题目由相同的讲师面授,6个题目通过相同的在线资源进行在线学习。比较了两个变量:(1) 基于正确答案得分和错误答案惩罚的学业成绩;(2) 基于正确和错误答案数量的反应指数。在整个样本中,面授学习的成绩好于网络学习。在按总学业成绩排序的四分位数中,这种优势仅限于成绩较好学生的前半部分。相比之下,分数较低的学生在网络学习中的表现更好。不过,这些差异不大(≤ 0.54 分)。(2) 在比例上,面对面学习的题目是最常回答的。在整个样本中观察到的变量,以及在全球考试中学习成绩最高(第一四分位数)的学生与每种模式下所学题目之间存在很强的相关性。在其余四分位数中,电子学习内容的相关性也很强。结论:(1) b-learning 中的两种模式在学术上都很有效。(2) 从比例上看,学生在回答面授课程所学内容的问题时会冒更大的风险,而且回答尝试次数与学习成绩之间有很强的相关性,尤其是在最亮眼的考试和电子学习内容上。

(2) Proportionally, students take more risks when answering content questions learned in face-to-face classes, and there is a strong correlation between response attempts and academic grades, especially, on the brightest exams and e-learning content.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50974,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Anatomy-Anatomischer Anzeiger","volume":"257 ","pages":"Article 152339"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142334177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
