Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a teaching aid, in particular to a model teaching aid for simulating intracranial aneurysms. Background Art
[0002] An aneurysm is a manifestation of local or diffuse dilation or bulging of the arterial wall due to lesions or injuries of the arterial wall. It is mainly manifested as a pulsating mass and can occur in any part of the arterial system, with the main arteries of the limbs, aorta, and carotid arteries being more common. Intracranial aneurysms have attracted great attention from medical workers because they are not easily observable in the brain. Due to the high mortality rate of intracranial aneurysms, it has always been a difficulty that medical workers urgently need to overcome. However, the traditional explanation of intracranial aneurysms is very abstract. Especially after the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm, the blood flows into the subarachnoid cavity, causing subarachnoid hemorrhage, which has always been a difficult point in the explanation. Due to the complex brain structure in the skull, traditional medical teaching aids have been unable to clearly and vividly explain it intuitively, and there is no corresponding teaching aid that can clarify it. Based on this, the applicant has developed a teaching aid for the detailed simulation process of the formation, rupture, and subarachnoid hemorrhage of intracranial aneurysms. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The utility model aims to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and provides a model teaching aid for simulating intracranial aneurysms, which is a teaching aid for the detailed simulation process of the formation, rupture, and subarachnoid hemorrhage of intracranial aneurysms, meeting the needs of medical workers to understand in detail the formation, rupture, and subarachnoid hemorrhage of intracranial aneurysms.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve its technical problems: This model teaching aid for simulating intracranial aneurysms includes the Willis circle, which is formed by anastomosing the anterior communicating artery body, the initial segments of the bilateral anterior cerebral arteries, the terminal segments of the bilateral internal carotid arteries, the bilateral posterior communicating artery bodies, and the initial segments of the bilateral posterior cerebral arteries. A group of first demonstration lamp beads are installed on each of the communicating artery body, the initial segments of the bilateral anterior cerebral arteries, the terminal segments of the bilateral internal carotid arteries, the bilateral posterior communicating artery bodies, and the initial segments of the bilateral posterior cerebral arteries. The Willis circle is filled with a cerebral tissue body, and an arachnoid subarachnoid cavity is provided on the outer side of the cerebral tissue body. A group of second demonstration lamp beads are installed at the arachnoid subarachnoid cavity. A group of arc brackets that gradually diverge outward are provided at the Willis circle, and a group of third demonstration lamp beads evenly distributed along the arc direction are installed on each arc bracket. A pair of outlet brackets arranged with the outer side larger and the inner side smaller are provided on the outermost arc bracket. A group of connecting brackets leading to the arachnoid subarachnoid cavity are connected between the outer ends of the two outlet brackets and between the two outlet brackets. A group of fourth demonstration lamp beads are installed on each of the two outlet brackets and each connecting bracket. Here, the Willis circle, also known as the cerebral arterial circle, is a ring-shaped structure located below the base of the brain and above the sella turcica, which is formed by anastomosing the anterior communicating artery, the initial segments of the bilateral anterior cerebral arteries, the terminal segments of the bilateral internal carotid arteries, the bilateral posterior communicating arteries, and the initial segments of the bilateral posterior cerebral arteries. Under normal circumstances, the blood on both sides does not mix in this ring-shaped structure. However, when a certain blood supply artery is stenosed or occluded, the blood can be redistributed and compensated through the cerebral arterial circle to maintain the blood supply to the brain. The Willis circle not only serves as a potential device for compensation under normal circumstances but also provides an alternative perfusion pathway under pathological conditions to maintain the nutrition and functional activities of the brain. In addition, the Willis circle anastomoses the internal carotid artery and the vertebrobasilar artery, is an important structure for establishing collateral circulation in the brain, and also connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The function of each of the first demonstration lamp beads here is to simulate and demonstrate the blood flow direction within the Willis circle. The function of a group of arc brackets that gradually diverge outward here is to simulate an aneurysm. The function of the third demonstration lamp beads here is to simulate the demonstration process of the gradual formation of an aneurysm. The functions of the outlet brackets, the connecting brackets, and the fourth demonstration lamp beads here are to simulate the demonstration process of the rupture after the aneurysm develops to a certain extent and to demonstrate the process of blood flowing into the arachnoid subarachnoid cavity after the rupture. The function of the second demonstration lamp beads here is to demonstrate the process when the arachnoid subarachnoid cavity bleeds.
[0005] For further improvement, a pier is provided below the brain shell, and a support column is installed between the brain shell and the pier. The functions of the pier and the support column here are to enable the demonstration area to be placed flat on the table without the need to place the model teaching aid on a specific support tool.
[0006] For further improvement, rubber pads are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the pier. The function of the rubber pads here is to make the pier more stable.
[0007] For further improvement, different color LED light-emitting bodies are respectively used between each first demonstration lamp bead, each second demonstration lamp bead, each third demonstration lamp bead, and each fourth demonstration lamp bead. The function of setting different color LED light-emitting bodies between each first demonstration lamp bead, each second demonstration lamp bead, each third demonstration lamp bead, and each fourth demonstration lamp bead here is to be able to more intuitively demonstrate the relationship between each step, and observe more directly and understand more easily.
[0008] For further improvement, a start switch, an end switch, and a screen for explaining each step are installed at the top of the pier, and a single-chip microcomputer controller is installed inside the pier. The single-chip microcomputer controller is connected by wires to the start switch, the end switch, the screen, each first demonstration lamp bead, each second demonstration lamp bead, each third demonstration lamp bead, and each fourth demonstration lamp bead. Here, the single-chip microcomputer controller can control the screen to display corresponding content according to the steps, start the model teaching aid through the start switch, and close the model teaching aid through the end switch; here, the single-chip microcomputer controller is a commercially available product, and products of companies such as Freescale, Renesas Electronics, Infineon, and Toshiba can be selected.

[0010] 1). Each first demonstration lamp bead can be used to simulate and demonstrate the blood flow direction in the Willis circle;
[0011] 2). A set of gradually outwardly diverging arc brackets can be used to simulate an aneurysm;

[0014] 5). The second demonstration lamp bead can be used to demonstrate the process when there is bleeding in the subarachnoid cavity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
