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 explore the operating procedure for designing the randomized scheme of multi-center clinical trial. Methods: SAS randomized program was written in accordance with the randomized parameters and stipulated randomized rules of centers, cases and blocks. The design of the SAS randomized program adopts the same seed in multi-hierarchical factors, and the principles of succession and repeatability of the randomized code. Results: This program can produce randomized numbers and complete the design and permutation of randomized codes in a standard and convenient way.

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 discuss the utility of lean management in the informationalization of health check-up.Methods A total of 2125 matched adults who received health check-up from April to July 2008 (n =1001) or 2012 (n =1124) were enrolled by using random sampling.Time of health check-up registration and laboratory sheet filling,preparation of final report,consumption of labor force,and integrity of data collection were compared before and after the conduction of lean management.Results Since lean management startup,time of registration was decreased from (250.0 ± 7.7) to (7.8 ± 0.9) min/100persons,time of sheet filling was reduced from (137.0 ± 10.6) to (26.0 ± 2.9) min/100 persons,preparation of final report was less time-consuming ((702.0 ± 11.7) vs.(300.0 ± 12.6) min/100persons).The integrity and accuracy of health check-up reports were significantly improved (67.0% vs.99.2%).Newer health check-up receivers were increased from 17.8% to 29.4% (x2 =461.944,P <0.05).Conclusion Lean management may be feasible and effective in the informationalization of health check-up.

BACKGROUND:Shape memory polyurethane has good physical and chemical properties and compatibility, but there are relatively few reports on the compatibility of osteoblasts before and after the deformation-complex of the shape memory polyurethane. OBJECTIVE:To observe the compatibility of osteoblasts with shape memory polyurethane before and after the deformation-complex. METHODS: Shape memory polyurethane membranes were prepared, and its stretching-solid-complex was conducted under the experimental environment, to obtain the membrane materials after the deformation-complex. The Sprague-Dawley neonatal rat osteoblasts were inoculated on the shape memory polyurethane membranes before and after the deformation-complex. After 2 hours of culture, the number of adherent cels was counted, and cel spreading was observed; cel proliferation was determined after 1-11 days of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The adhesion amount and proliferation activity of osteoblasts on shape memory polyurethane membranes after the deformation-complex were significantly higher than those before the deformation-complex (P < 0.05). The osteoblasts presented fusiform appearance on the shape memory polyurethane membranes after deformation-complex, and cel arrangement showed a clear orientation, but a smal spreading area; while the osteoblasts presented polygonal shape on the shape memory polyurethane membranes before deformation-complex, arranged in no particular direction, and spread largely. These findings show the shape memory polyurethane has better osteoblast compatibility after the deformation-complex.

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.
