As the understanding of science creativity becomes more profound,people find out that organizational barriers are greatly deterring and discouraging the advent and development of science creativity.Drawing upon the Situation Theory of Creativity and earlier researches,we identified crucial organizational factors that imposed influence on science creativity and considered those factors as gauge to reflect on the current practice of science research management in China.The findings show that science research funding mode,collaboration and communication opportunities and accesses,science researchers' career development and evaluation system,research group leadership,size and diversity of research teams are all key components of the organizational barriers that failed to nurture and spur Chinese researchers to solve long existed and challenging problems with original approaches and creative thinking.Therefore,innovations of science research management are necessary and urgent.

Objective To summarize the clinical,radiographic and genetic features of a family with metatropic dysplasia,in order to improve the level of understanding and diagnosis of this disease.Methods The proband,a one-year old boy,was diagnosed as metatropic dysplasia.His mother was 26 years old with mildly phenotype.Their clinical features and bone X-ray findings were analyzed.The DNA samples of the proband and his parents were collected.The coding exons and flanking introns regions of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and analyzed by DNA automatic detector.The pathology,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis were expounded.Results The symptoms of the boy were characterized by short extremities,a short trunk with progressive kyphoscoliosis,and craniofacial abnormalities that include a prominent forehead,midface hypoplasia,and a squared-off jaw.His motor development was slightly delayed.Mental development was normal.Bone X ray of the boy showed platyspondyly and severe metaphyseal enlargement with shortening of long bones and irregularities and delayed ossification of epiphysis.The patient and his mother were heterozygous for the nucleotide substitutions c.2396 > T (p.P799L) in TRPV4 gene.Conclusions The patient and his mother with metatropic dysplasia were diagnosed with TRPV4 gene analysis.The patient showed typical clinical features.His mother was mild.Metatropic dysplasia had significantly clinical heterogeneity.Gene analysis is helpful for the diagnosis.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Tiao Shen Ding Zhi (mind-regulating) needling method in treating anxious neurosis. Method Fifty-eight patients with anxious neurosis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 29 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by Tiao Shen Ding Zhi needling method, while the control group was by conventional needling. The total effective rates of the two groups were observed. Result The total effective rate was 96.5% (28/29) in the treatment group versus 82.8% (24/29) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Tiao Shen Ding Zhi needling method can produce a higher total effective rate than conventional acupuncture in treating anxious neurosis.

Objective To investigate the role of S100B protein in the pathogenesis of patients with Japanese encephalitis (JE).Methods A total of 45 patients were enrolled in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from August 2013 to October 2013,who were diagnosed as JE on the basis of clinical features and positive IgM antibodies against JE virus measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from the Center of Disease Control of Shijiazhuang.The JE patients were divided into initial phase group,acute phase group and convalescence group based on the course,mild JE group,moderate JE group and severe JE group based on the severity,MRI-no-lesion group and MRI lesions group based on the imaging findings of JE.Twelve cases with no evidence of infection in central nervous system in the meantime were chosen as control.The S100B protein was measured by ELISA.Results The content of S100B protein in cerebrospinal fluid was as follows:522.76 (393.35,620.37) pg/ml in mild JE group (acute phase group:609.77 (549.27,779.71) pg/ml,convalescence group:420.48 (344.36,453.19) pg/ml),792.09 (705.47,1 108.96) pg/ml in moderate JE group (acute phase group:770.19 (646.31,1 069.54) pg/ml,convalescence group:803.45 (602.90,1 396.84) pg/ml),and 1 021.94 (680.84,1 302.15) pg/ml in severe JE group (acute phase group:981.82 (680.84,1 826.28) pg/ml,convalescence group:989.00 (553.62,1 207.67) pg/ml).The S100B protein content was 561.52 (454.36,814.56) pg/ml,803.45 (602.90,1 104.01) pg/ml,762.22 (594.95,1 044.97) pg/ml,581.76 (442.51,1 069.10) pg/ml in MRI-no-lesion group,MRI lesions group,total acute phase group and total convalescence group,respectively.While in control group,the S100B protein content was 266.71 (205.72,390.05) pg/ml.The contents of S100B protein in moderate JE group,severe JE group,total acute phase group,total convalescence group,MRI-no-lesion group,MRI lesions group were higher than that in control group (H =4.864,5.497,5.075,3.918,2.971,4.981,P =0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.009,0.000).The contents of S100B protein in mild JE group was lower than that in moderate JE group and severe JE group (H =-2.786,-3.514,P =0.032,0.003).Conclusions The level of S100B protein in cerebrospinal fluid is related with the severity,duration and imaging presentation of JE patients.The dynamic monitoring of S100B protein levels is of great significance for assessment of the patients' condition and curative effect.

Objective To summarize clinical and histopathological features of trauma-triggered autoimmune bullous skin diseases,and to explore its possible pathogenesis.Methods Clinical manifestations,histopathological features and treatment of 3 cases of trauma-triggered pemphigus or pemphigoid were analyzed,and summarized according to related domestic and overseas literature.Results Of the 3 cases,1 was a female aged 62 years,and 2 were males aged 60 and 71 years respectively.They all had a history of skin trauma or surgery before the onset of the diseases,and time intervals from trauma to diseases were 5,5 weeks and 3 days respectively.The 3 cases were diagnosed as bullous pemphigoid (anti -BP180 antibody 109 U/ml,anti-BP230 antibody negative),pemphigus vulgaris (anti-Dsg1 antibody 68.8 U/ml,anti-Dsg3 antibody 219 U/ml) and pemphigus foliaceus (anti-Dsg1 antibody 143 U/ml,anti-Dsg3 antibody negative) respectively.Their lesions were relieved dramatically after oral and (or) topical glucocorticoid treatment.Conclusions Trauma may be a triggering factor for autoimmune bullous skin diseases.For patients with post-traumatic poor wound healing or skin erythema,blisters and erosion,which can hardly be attributed to trauma or surgery itself,autoimmune bullous skin diseases should be considered,and histopathological or immunopathological examinations should be performed timely.
