文摘BACKGROUND Orthopaedic surgical education has traditionally depended on the apprenticeship model of“see one,do one,teach one”.However,reduced operative exposure,stricter work-hour regulations,medicolegal constraints,and patient safety concerns have constrained its practicality.Simulation-based training has become a reliable,safe,and cost-efficient alternative.Dry lab techniques,especially virtual and augmented reality,make up 78%of current dry lab research,whereas wet labs still set the standard for anatomical realism.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness,limitations,and future directions of wet and dry lab simulation in orthopaedic training.METHODS A scoping review was carried out across four databases-PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,and EBSCOhost-up to 2025.Medical Subject Headings included:"Orthopaedic Education","Wet Lab","Dry Lab","Simulation Training","Virtual Reality",and"Surgical Procedure".Eligible studies focused on orthopaedic or spinal surgical education,employed wet or dry lab techniques,and assessed training effectiveness.Exclusion criteria consisted of non-English publications,abstracts only,non-orthopaedic research,and studies unrelated to simulation.Two reviewers independently screened titles,abstracts,and full texts,resolving discrepancies with a third reviewer.RESULTS From 1851 records,101 studies met inclusion:78 on dry labs,7 on wet labs,4 on both.Virtual reality(VR)simulations were most common,with AI increasingly used for feedback and assessment.Cadaveric training remains the gold standard for accuracy and tactile feedback,while dry labs-especially VR-offer scalability,lower cost(40%-60%savings in five studies),and accessibility for novices.Senior residents prefer wet labs for complex tasks;juniors favour dry labs for basics.Challenges include limited transferability data,lack of standard outcome metrics,and ethical concerns about cadaver use and AI assessment.CONCLUSION Wet and dry labs each have unique strengths in orthopaedic training.A hybrid approach combining both,supported by standardised assessments and outcome studies,is most effective.Future efforts should aim for uniform reporting,integrating new technologies,and policy support for hybrid curricula to enhance skills and patient care.

文摘Surgical navigation has evolved significantly through advances in augmented reality,virtual reality,and mixed reality,improving precision and safety across many clinical applications,including neurosurgery,maxillofacial,spinal,and arthroplasty procedures.By integrating preoperative imaging with real-time intraoperative data,these systems provide dynamic guidance,reduce radiation exposure,and minimize tissue damage.Key challenges persist,including intraoperative registration accuracy,flexible tissue deformation,respiratory compensation,and real-time imaging quality.Emerging solutions include artificial intelligence-driven segmentation,deformation-field modeling,and hybrid registration techniques.Future developments will include lightweight,portable systems,improved non-rigid registration algorithms,and greater clinical adoption.Despite advances in rigid-tissue applications,soft-tissue navigation requires additional innovation to address motion variability and registration reliability,ultimately advancing minimally invasive surgery and precision medicine.

文摘Objective:To analyze the effectiveness of an integrated teaching platform combining virtual reality(VR)technology and high-end simulators in practical obstetrics and gynecology teaching.Methods:A total of 39 interns who underwent obstetrics and gynecology internships from March 2023 to March 2024 were included in the reference group and received conventional practical teaching methods.Another 39 interns who underwent internships from April 2024 to April 2025 were included in the observation group and received the integrated teaching platform combining VR and high-end simulators.The teaching effects of the two groups were compared.Results:The observation group achieved higher assessment scores than the reference group,with higher scores in self-directed learning ability and clinical thinking ability after teaching,as well as higher teaching satisfaction(p<0.05).Conclusion:The integrated teaching platform combining VR and high-end simulators can improve the assessment scores of obstetrics and gynecology interns,cultivate their self-directed learning ability and clinical thinking ability,and achieve high teaching satisfaction.
文摘This paper is discussing several features of the impact of AI(artificial intelligence)on society and human behavior.It includes(1)the question if the AI can outperform the intelligent and creative capacity of humans,(2)if AI capabilities could show criticality and causal emergence,(3)the predictive capacity of AI,(4)the costs related to the learning process and operating AI,and(5)the loss of consensual reality and the rise of deepfakes in the AI era.AI involves considerable systemic risks impacting the social,economic,cultural,and environmental systems.Our will is kept in accordance with how the things around us are presented to us and that is precisely what AI is also doing.For us circumstances define a situation or a moment.For AI the circumstances are just statistical relationships.AI does not have its own values but incorporates the values on which it is trained.The imaginative gap between humans and AI is not just big;it’s of an essential nature.We want not just technology in the online world;we want a moral attitude.

文摘The comprehensive evaluation of six properties for equipment product is an important basis for their quality control,and their correlative relationship among six properties will affect their quality level.To understand their correlative relationship among six properties,this paper firstly combines group evaluation with decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory(DEMATEL)model,and develops the optimization model based on group consensus to form six influent relationship matrices.Secondly,group consensus matrix is used to design super network hierarchy matrix,and the weights of six properties with relevant environment is also proposed.Thirdly,the elimination and choice translating reality(ELECTRE)model is used to make comprehensive evaluation,and an example is used to compare the results under two kinds of conditions,and illustrate the effect of the weights of six properties on the priority of equipment products.
文摘This paper proposes bridging virtual reality(VR)and the humanities,creating a valuable outcome through the implementation of virtual realities in teaching environments and through the reflection on the narratives and content in the process of modelling in the humanities.Current state of the art technologies offer many people the opportunity to experience VR without having to purchase expensive devices.This results in a rapidly growing number of different content to explore,and a diversification of overall concepts.Looking at VR as a form of representation and as a means of reproducing narratives,many potential research questions also for the(digital)humanities arise.This includes observing,exploring and comprehending the modelling of virtual worlds.It is of key importance to consider the process of creation,which is a process of modelling done by different individuals with different disciplinary backgrounds.Several courses at the University of Cologne were offered in which virtual worlds for the narration of theatre plays as well as other narratives were modelled by the students.The experiences from these courses will be used to analyse critically the use of VR in the humanities.
文摘Xi Jinping,general secretary of the Communist Party of China(CPC)Central Committee,stressed that we should adhere to the“two integrations”(namely,integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and fine traditional culture),root ourselves in Chinese soil,carry forward the Chinese cultural heritage,and strengthen the academic foundation.We should accelerate the building of an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences,and formulate original concepts and develop systems of academic discipline,research and discourse,drawing on China’s rich experience of advancing human rights.In the face of changes of a magnitude not seen in a century,in the historic process of advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts through Chinese modernization,we should and must strengthen our theoretical self-consciousness and confidence in the path of Chinese modernization.We need to enhance human rights research,develop the human rights theoretical system and paradigm that are based on Chinese realities and express Chinese voice,and an independent Chinese knowledge system for human rights.
