The quantity and quality of the papers cited by SCI are key standards that measure the level of basic research,academic status and teaching quality of a university.In this paper,we studied on the papers cited by SCI by statistical analysis and comparative methods in 30 well-known Chinese and foreign medical universities from 2001 to 2005.The research result showed that there is some disparity in the scale and condition of the scientific research and the technical level among Chinese medical universities and foreign medical universities.Meanwhile,it Was suggested that how to improve the quantity and quality of the papers cited by SCI in Chinese medical universities.

Objective To evaluate ipsilateral hepatic blood flow exclusion in combination with liver hanging manoeuvre for hepatectomy. Methods From Jul 2007 to Feb 2008, 14 cases underwent hemihepatectomy under ipsilateral hepatic blood inflow and draining hepatic vein exclusion in combination with liver hanging manoeuvre for liver malignancier or ligating ligating vessels, portal vein branch and major hepatic vein to set up a tunnel at the interior vena cava. Results Small laceration on fight hepatic vein was encountered in 2 cases during the operation and managed by suturing. There was no intraoperative injury on inferior vena cava or short hepatic veins. Blood loss ranged from 100 ml to 600 ml with a mean of 280 ml. Postoperative pleural effusion was cured conservatively in 3 cases and paracentes was needed in one case. There was no severe postoperative hepatorenal dysfunction, biliary fistula, infection or other major complications. The operative mortality was nil. Conclusion For regular major hepatectomy, ipsilateral hepatic blood flow exclusion plus liver hanging manoeuvre has the advantage of less blood loss and protecting contralateral hemiliver from reporfusion injuries.

Objective: Our aim was to observe the protective effect of propofol in clinical relevant concentration on the peroxidative injured erythrocyte. Methods: Intravenous blood samples taken from 20 healthy adults were prepared for red blood cell (RBC) suspensions and divided equally into 5 groups: groupⅠfor control, group Ⅱ with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, 100 mmol/L) -induced injury, and group Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ with the same injury as the group Ⅱ but being pretreated with 3 different concentrations of propofol (25, 50, 75 μmol/L), respectively. The concentrations of potassium and malondialdehyde (MDA) in RBC suspensions and hemolytic degree after incubation were measured. Results: After 60-minute incubation, the extracellular potassium concentrations (0.16, 0.14, 0.14 mmol/L), MDA concentrations (5.66, 5.57, 6.20 nmol/L), and hemolytic degree (76.89%, 59.84%, 64.22%) decreased significantly in the groups that were pretreated with propofol as compared with the group Ⅱ (0.26 mmol/L, 9.19 nmol/L, and 100%), but no difference has been seen within the groups pretreated with 3 different concentrations of propofol and between the propofol-treated groups and the group Ⅰ(0.10 mmol/L, 4.13 nmol/L, 52.73%). Conclusion: Propofol in clinical relevant concentrations may decrease MDA production, hemolytic degree, and potassium exflux from erythrocyte in response to in vitro oxidative challenge with hydrogen peroxide and enhance erythrocyte antioxidant capacity. The protective effect is not related with concentrations.

OBJECTIVE To select the superior one from two skin-cleaning disinfection methods so as to reduce the possibility of hospital infection.METHODS The water plus soaps(control group) and Daniel disinfectants(test group) were used separately to clean and disinfect the skin of patients in intensive care unit(ICU).The degree of skin-cleaning of patients and hand pollution of nurses were observed and analyzed.RESULTS The number of bacteria on the skin of patients of the test group was remarkably lower than that of the control group with a statistically significant difference(t=7.94,P

Objective To investigate the relationship between QRS wave terminal distortion with coronary arterial lesion and serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) in early stage of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods One hundred and twenty patients with STEMI were classified into the QRS wave distortion positive group(QRS+,n=81) and non-QRS wave distortion group(QRS-group,n=39) according to EKG on admission.The two groups all conducted the coronary angiography and hs-cTnI detection.The coronary arterial lesion occurrence situation and hs-cTnI level were compared between the two groups.Results (1) In the QRS+ group:68 cases (83.59％) were male and 13 cases (16.05％) were females;in the QRS-group:27 cases(69.23％) were male and 12 cases (30.77％) were female.The sex difference had statistical significance (P＜0.05).(2) The occurrence rate of left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesion in the QRS+ group was higher than that in the QRS-group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).But the occurrence rate of left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) lesion in the QRS-group was higher than that in the QRS+ group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).(3) The hs-cTnI level in the QRS+ group was higher than that in the QRS-group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.01).Conclusion The patients with QRS wave distortion positive have a higher occurrence rate of LAD lesion,while the patients with out QRS wave distortion negative have higher occurrence rate of LCX lesion;the QRS wave terminal distortion has relationship with serum hs-cTnI level.

Objective To evaluate the value of transvaginal color Doppler sonography(TVCD)in the conservative treatment of early tubal pregnancy(TP).Methods Fifty cases of early TP were examined by TVCD before medical treatment,including the size of TP mass,blood flows graded according to Alder,hemodynamics parameters.All data were ananlized and compared with therapeutic results.Results Fortyfive cases were treated successfully(45/50),and 5 failed.According to TVCD,TP masses flow were graded from O to Ⅲ.In the successful group,4 cases were graded 0,21 Ⅰ,16 Ⅱ and 4Ⅲ,blood flow signals were measured in 41 cases,the mean velocity was(5.452±4.327)cm/s,PI(1.597±0.696),RI 0.680±0.107.In the failure group,all TP masses flow were graded Ⅲ,the mean velocity was(16.774±9.855)cm/s,PI 0.95 1±0.193,RI 0.567±0.034.Conclusions In the medical treatment of early TP,TVCD findings associated with the treatment outcome closely,it plays an important role in assessing conservative treatment of early TP.

Objective To compare the short-term quality of life after total gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer with three recontructive methods of stamoch storage function. Methods Totally 62 cases underwent jejunal interposition afar total gastrectomy from March 2000 to December 2007. Patients were divided into three groups according to the procedures: functional jejunal interposition (FJI-type) group ( n = 23 ), modified jejunal interposition ( Ⅲ -type) group ( n = 20), and P-type jejunal interposition (P-type) group (n = 19). In each group,the patients' general conditions, the nutritional status at month 3 and 12, and gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated. Results The durations of procedures were significantly different among three groups (P ＜0. 01 ). The intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative complications, and food intake of each meal at month 3 were not significantly different ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Compared with the data at month 3, the levels of hemoglobin and serum calcium at month 12 were significantly higher in all three groups (P ＜ 0. 01 ). Compared to the level at month 3, the level of serum albumin at month 12 significantly increased in FJI-type group (P ＜ 0. 05 ) but showed not significant difference in Ⅲ-type group and P-type group ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The incidence of reflux esophagitis in three groups and the comparative parameters among the three groups at month 12 were not significantly different ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions The jejunal interpositions after total gastrectomy will not increase the complexity and risk of the surgical procedure. In fact, they can reduce the reflux esophagitis and improve quality of life by keeping the storage function and restoring food passage through the duodenum. FJI-type is simpler than the other two types, and P-type is preferred for operations that need to open the pectoral cavity.
