Endoscopy-assisted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with internal fixation vs conventional surgery in the treatment of cervical disc herniation

Introduction: Cervical disc herniation (CDH) is a common condition, usually caused by excessive strain or trauma to the spine. Initially, it is treated conservatively; however, complex and resistant cases may require a surgical intervention. Aim: We aimed to compare the clinical effect of endoscopy-assisted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with internal fixation and conventional surgery in the treatment of CDH. Materials and methods: Patients with CDH who underwent ACDF with fixation at the Zhoushan Dinghai Guanghua Hospital were enrolled. Of them, 10 individuals were treated with conventional ACDF (conventional surgery group), and the other 10 with endoscopy-assisted ACDF (endoscopy-assisted surgery group). The general characteristics, postoperative Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA), visual analogue scale (VAS), 12-Item Short Form Survey Physical Component Summary (SF-12 PCS), and SF-12 Mental Component Summary (SF-12 MCS) scores, physiological stress response, rate of the improved JOA score (RIS), hemoglobin level, and bone graft fusion were compared between the groups. Results: Outcomes of the patients treated with endoscopy-assisted surgery were clearly superior to those observed in the conventional surgery group. The postoperative JOA, VAS, SF-12 PCS, and SF-12 MCS scores and RIS in the endoscopy-assisted surgery group were higher than in the conventional surgery group (P <⁠0.05). Following operation, there were significant differences between the 2 groups with respect to RIS at 1 week and 6 months postsurgery and hemoglobin levels on postoperative day 2. Changes in heart rate and diastolic blood pressure in the endoscopy-assisted surgery group were less pronounced than in the conventional surgery group (P <⁠0.05), and the fusion rate was significantly higher in the former group (90% vs 80%, respectively). Conclusions: Endoscopy-assisted ACDF with internal fixation has a greater clinical therapeutic effect than the conventional approach in the treatment of CDH. It is associated with a higher bone graft fusion rate and reduced intraoperative blood loss

Construction of Curriculum System for Software Engineering Major under Background of New Engineering—A Case Study of Anhui Sanlian University

Abstract The innovation of the curriculum system of software engineering major has become an important part under background of new engineering currently that cannot be ignored. As a case study of Anhui Sanlian University, from the three aspects of talent training, knowledge of vocation, curriculum setting to explore the construction of curriculum system for software engineering major under background of new engineering. Finally, further work is expected in the future. Firstly, sustainable agile teaching system for competitiveness should be developed. Secondly, a local platform for innovative practice on “Five Classes” based on Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) should be established.</jats:p

A Teaching Mode of PBL for Software Engineering Course Based on Integration of Industry and Education

Abstract Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching mode which is suitable for key courses of software engineering major in universities. Based on the concept of PBL, this study takes engineering of Anhui Sanlian University as an example, and is committed to building a feasible PBL teaching mode of software engineering course. Furthermore, further work is put forward to promote the development of the PBL teaching mode for local teaching environment.</jats:p

A Functionality Testing Method Based on Exploratory Testing for Android Mobile Apps

Abstract The research is based on the characteristics of mobile Applications (Apps), taking an Android mobile App of a small examination system as an application case, this study is devoted to exploring a feasible functionality testing method based on exploratory testing for Android mobile Apps, which includes fundamental functionality logic verification, Graphical User Interface (GUI) automated testing, and special testing. Furthermore, further work is put forward to apply this functionality testing method to IOS mobile Apps, adding new test items for mobile Apps and improving the method of depth-first search for control traversal in GUI automated testing.</jats:p

A Reusable Test Case Management System Based on Exploratory Testing

Abstract The research is mainly based on the concept of technologies of software exploratory testing, Questing Patterns (Q-Patterns) and reusable test case, taking a reusable test case as an example, this study is devoted to the development of a feasible reusable test case management system based on exploratory testing in rapid prototype development method, which the process of design, storage, reuse and management of test cases could be implemented positively in the first system version. Furthermore, further work for technical improvement in the next version of this system is put forward.</jats:p

A Course Construction Mode of “One Body-Two Wings” for Software Engineering Major under Background of New Engineering

Abstract The research is based on the background of new engineering, taking the software engineering major of Anhui Sanlian University as an example, this study is devoted to exploring and implementing on a feasible mode of “one body-two wings” for course construction of software engineering major. Talents cultivation based on integration of industry and education is “one body”, curriculum design and case resource construction are “two wings” of the mode. Furthermore, further work is put forward to optimize for this mode from three aspects.</jats:p

A Test Method for Instructional Software of Evaluation and Exercise Based on Mobile Platform

Abstract The research is based on the characteristics of instructional software of evaluation and exercise, taking a small examination system for driving license as an example, this study is devoted to exploring a feasible test method for instructional software of evaluation and exercise based on mobile platform. The test method consists of four testing phases of unit and integration testing, functionality testing, comprehensive testing and teaching evaluation which existed research of functionality testing for modern Android mobile Apps is fully used for reference. Furthermore, further work is put forward. Firstly, a special defect management database for bug definition and analysis needs to be established. Secondly, major test points in comprehensive testing phase should be converted to user stories in modern agile testing environment for software exploratory test methods positively.</jats:p
