1.Evaluation of scientific level of medical paper
Chinese Journal of Medical Science Research Management 2008;21(2):82-85
In the management of scientific research achievements,the phenomenon of taking the quality of its journal as the quality of the paper has been criticized,but the evaluation method to a single paper is not so matured,and the evaluation to scientific level of paper is even rarer.The evaluation methods can he divided into direct and indirect ways.This paper mainly discussed the former.The scientific level of medical paper is mainly reflected in the probabilistic of the investigation.and it can be divided into several levels from the perspective of evidence-based medicine.For clinical research.the scientific level is mainly reflected in the generalized statistical aspects.Construction of medical papers evaluation system must first define the purpose and the subject.Evaluation methods should be considered from research design.statistical analysis,inference of conclusions,and reporting of statistics.Further,a comprehensive scale or a certain aspect of the evaluation methods can be developed.Among the methods,the simplest must be the form evaluation.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value and safety of prelocalization with ultrasound during internal jugular vein cannulation. Methods One hundred patients scheduled for internal jugular vein cannulation from February 2009 to April 2010 were divided into two groups by random digits table with 50 cases in each group. Group U patients were performed by ultrasound-prelocalization method and group T patients were performed by traditional technique. The first successful punctures and the first successful catheterization,puncture times,operation time and complications were recorded. Results Compared with group T, puncture times,operation time and complications were lower in group U [(1.0±0.5) times vs.(2.1±1.4) times;(4.5±1.2) min vs.(6.8±1.6) min;0 vs. 12.0%(6/50)](P< 0.01 ). The first successful punctures and the first successful catheterization [96.0% (48/50) and 95.8% (46/48)] in group U were obviously higher than those in group T [ 72.0%(36/50) and 77.8% (28/36)] (P < 0.01 ). Two cases were failed in group T. Conclusion Ultrasound-prelocalization technique is simply and practically method for internal jugular vein cannulation under the stable body position.

Objective To explore the protective effects of quercetin on damage induced by oxidative stress and to clari?fy its molecular mechanism. Methods Chang liver cell cultures were randomly divided into control groups, H2O2 group and 3 doses of quercetin groups. Cell survival rate was detected with MTT. Cell apoptotic rate was measured by FACS(Fluores?cence-activated cell sorting). Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in Chang liver cells were tested by flow cy?tometer. The DCF fluorescence intensity of DCFH-DA-stained intracellular ROS was observed by fluorescence microscope. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were determined in liver cells using commercial available kits. The expression of Nrf2 were detected by Western blot. Re?sults Compared with control, cell survival rate and levels of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px decreased significantly in H2O2 group (P < 0.05 ),while cell appotosis rate, content of MDA and mean fluorescence intensity(MFI) increased in H2O2 group (P <0.05). In comparison with H2O2, expression of Nrf2 protein was higher in all three quercetin treatment groups (P<0.05). Con?clusion Quercetin protected Chang liver cells from H2O2-induced oxidative stress, which may be caused by the increased ex?pressions of down stream antioxidant genes via activating the Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway.

Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) of a major intracranial artery, including middle cerebral artery (MCA), basilar artery, is the most common causes of stroke and is associated with a high risk of recurrent stroke in China. The difficulty to treatment these high-risk disease is to identify high-risk stroke subgroups and to develop more effective treatments (aggressive medical therapy/endovascular therapy). With the benefits, including non-invasive, in vivo, and no-ionizing radiation, 3.0 Tesla high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR MRI) could be used to stratify high-risk patients, monitor progression of disease, and evaluate clinical efficacy, based on MCA wall structure and plaque characteristic. HR MRI has the latency of predicting high-risk patients benefit from endovascular therapy, having a broad application prospect during psot-SAMMPRIS era. The current research on MCA stenosis using HR MRI focuses on methodology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, etiology, and lacks of clinical efficiency evaluation and prognostic analysis of ICAD treatment, especially lacks the research on in-stent restenosis, which needs further investigation.
