Chinese Journal of Medical Library and Information Science 2014;(8):27-32
Five hundred and ninety-one papers retrieved from CAJD on performance assessment of electronic re-sources in domestic libraries from 2004 to 2013 were retrospectively analyzed by biliometrics, which showed that these papers focused on the description of projects,methods of assessment,and establishment of assessment indexes. The following problems were pointed out, such as weakness in research strength, tendency to stress theories, inopera-tive methods used in studies, and single-valued achievements, with suggestions put forward for their solution such as intensifying cooperation and focusing on practice in future studies.

Objective To establish an evaluation index system for access to ophthalmic surgery so as to standardize the access. Method Collect 14 ophthalmologists' recommendations on access criteria for ophthalmic surgery in two rounds of questionnaire survey by Delphi method. Results The return rate of rounds of consultation questionnaire was 93.33%, and the average expert authority coefficient was 0.78.Nine ophthalmic surgery access indicators were established. The coordination of expert coefficient was 0.521 after two consultation. It had significant difference ( P<0.01 ). Conclusion The ophthalmic surgery access indicator system is highly credible and allows quantitative assessment of ophthalmic surgery from various aspects. It is more demanding for ophthalmologist, and gets more involvement of patients in the evaluation of ophthalmic surgery access. It could contribute to scientific and rational decision-making on access for ophthalmic surgery.

T-2 toxin is a secondary fungal metabolite that belongs to the trichothecene mycotoxin family,it is the most toxic in class A trichothecene mycotoxin.T-2 toxin can induce apoptosis in cells bearing high proliferating activity.The mycotoxin readily passes the placenta and is distributed to embryo tissues,which results in fetal brain damage,bone malformation,thymic atrophy and even death.This article reviewed the effects of T-2 toxin on immune system,blood system and cell toxicities in pregnant mice and generation mice.

Objective To investigate the relationship of androgen receptor (AR) CAG repeat polymorphism and coronary artery disease (CAD) in elderly men and its potential mechanism.Methods Totally 296 elderly men undergoing coronary angiography were enrolled in this study.Serum total testosterone (TT) and free testosterone (FT) levels were measured.Androgen receptors (ARs) in peripheral lymphocytes were determined by flow cytometry.Genome DNA was extracted from peripheral leucocytes using standard techniques.Gene fragments containing AR CAG repeats were amplified by PCR with specific fluorescent labeled primers.PCR products were separated with agarose gels.CAG repeat number of each sample was obtained by genotyping.Results AR CAG repeats varied from 11 to 28 (P25-P75:18-22; median:20) in elderly male patients.They were divided into the long AR group (CAG repeats≥22,n=82) and the short AR group (CAG repeats<22,n=214).Compared with the long AR group,serum FT level was much lower in the short AR group [(24.1±23.1) ×10-6mmol/L vs.(31.2±27.8)×10-6mmol/L,P<0.05].The prevalence of coronary artery disease was higher in the short AR group than in the long AR group [84.1% (180 cases) vs.69.5%(57 cases),P<0.05].The FT level was lower in the short AR group combined with CAD than in the control group [(22.4±20.5) ×10-6mmol/L vs.(33.6±32.4)×10 6mmol/L,P<0.01].There were no significant differences in serum TT and AR levels between the long and short AR groups.No significant correlations were found in the AR CAG repeats polymorphism with FT,TT or AR levels.Age was the main risk factor for FT and AR levels.Logistic regression analysis showed that FT level was negatively correlated with CAD (OR=0.98,95 % CI:0.973-0.998,P=0.01),and short AR increased the risk of CAD in elderly male patients (OR=3.44,95%CI:1.887-6.264,P<0.01).Conclusions Serum FT level is correlated with age and is significantly decreased in elderly male patients with short AR repeats,which may increase the risk of CAD in elderly men.

ObjectiveTo study the associations of Val66Met functional polymorphism in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)with creativity and personality traits in a healthy college student population.MethodThe creativity performance and personality traits of the 830 healthy college students (272 males and 558females) were assessed with Williams Creativity Scale (CAP) and adult Eysenek Personality Questionnaire (EPQ),then study was performed on the association Val66Met in BDNF with creativity and personality traits.ResultsThe results indicated that Val66Met was significantly associated with the curiosity of CAP (F=0.519,P=0.036).The numbers of Val allele showed a positive correlation to the performance of curiosity.Val66Val genotype individuals had the best performance (31.924 ± 4.010 ) while the Met66Met ones showed the worst performante(30.889 ± 3.478).However,the association of Val66Met with the personality traits of EPQ was uot significant in the study (P> 0.05).Furthermore,there was no a significant effect of the interaction between the genetic variant and Extraversion/Introversion on the curiosity of CAP (P =0.747 ).ConclusionThe present study suggests that Val66Met in BDNF contributes to creativity,but not to personality traits in the population.
