小儿先天性心脏病数据库系统的建立及应用

目的为初步建立国内小儿先天性心脏病(先心病)的诊断及治疗标准,提高数据统计效率,探索构建先天性心脏病数据库系统(congenital heart disease database project,CHDDP)。方法采用Egrid.NeT建立CHDDP,将2006年度2051例次先心病手术(含188例普胸手术)进行统计分析,对比国际知名先天性心脏病数据库系统,结合我国实际情况,对小儿先天性心脏病及常见胸部疾病进行归纳整理。结果CHDDP大大提高了小儿先天性心脏病临床工作效率,同时也可高效地对数据进行统计分析。目前CHDDP已在国内数家先心病治疗单位开始推广,获得一定好评。结论建立CHDDP有助于对国内小儿先心病诊断治疗标准进行统一,加强多中心协作,对于推动我国小儿先心病治疗水平的提高具有重要意义。     

New reference allelic ladders to improve allelic designation in a multiplex STR system

This paper reports the composition of a new reference allelic ladder mixture for use with a multiplex DNA profiling system consisting of six short tandem repeat loci. The loci included in this mixture are HUMTH01, D21S11, D18S51, D8S1179, HUMVWAF31/A, HUMFIBRA/FGA and an amelogenin sex test. Sequence analysis of individual ladder alleles was carried out and allelic designations made in accordance with the recommendations of the International Society of Forensic Haemogenetics (1992; 1994). A series of rare alleles which increase the range of alleles previously reported were identified. By including some of the rare alleles into the ladder marker system, we have significantly improved the ability to identify new alleles in unknown samples.

Usefulness of a state-legislated,comparative database to evaluate quality in colorectal surgery

PURPOSE: Colorectal surgery, a high-volume procedure, has been targeted for performance improvement to reduce length of stay. Specific postoperative quality indicators and readmission rates should be analyzed concomitantly to assure that adverse events are not associated with earlier discharge. METHODS: From July 1, 1990, to June 30, 1997, 1,218 consecutive patients who underwent transabdominal colorectal surgery were analyzed for length of stay, mortality, morbidity, and discharge disposition. Each patient was assigned an Admission Severity Group rating 0 to 4 using a hospital-based state-legislated software system (Atlas) to validate comparative performance internally and externally. Readmission data within 120 days of discharge were available for the last 678 consecutive patients from July 1, 1993, to June 30, 1997, using Lastword (computerized medical records). RESULTS: The annual frequencies of the 1,218 procedures were 173, 183, 175, 146, 167, 189, and 185, respectively, from July 1990 through June 1997. Severity distribution was 32 for Admission Severity Group 0, 517 for Admission Severity Group 1, 540 for Admission Severity Group 2, 128 for Admission Severity Group 3, and 1 for Admission Severity Group 4, with no annual difference (P=0.012). There was a significant reduction in total length of stay of 3.1 (12.9–9.8) days during the seven years (P=0.001). The overall operative mortality rate was 1.4 percent, and the morbidity was 2.6 percent, with no annual differences (P=0.655 andP=0.033, respectively). The disposition to home did not change (P=0.21). Of the 678 patients followed up for readmission, 100 (14.7 percent) were readmitted within 120 days, with no annual difference (P=0.302). CONCLUSION: Mortality, morbidity, disposition, and readmission rates were not affected by a decreased length of stay after colorectal surgery.Presented at the Research Forum at the meeting of The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, San Antonio, Texas, May 2 to 7, 1998.     

先天性胫骨假关节的文献计量学分析CSCD

Objective To quantify the 100 most frequently cited papers in CPT for predicting research hotspots for benefitting future clinical outcomes. Methods Web of Science database was searched for publications related to CPT original research from January 1, 1900 to December 31, 2022. And Cited Reference Search tool was employed for retrieving articles to determine the most cited item. Then a knowledge map was generated for number ofcitations, publication year, publication periodical, author unit, publication country and key words. Results Top 100 selected articles were cited from 11 to 196 times and publication period started from 1928 to 2016. Clinical research was the major type (n =93) and only 7 studies belonged to basic research. The largest contribution came from the United States (n =37), followed by Republic of Korea (n =9), Germany (n =6) and Italy (n=6). The frequently appearing keywords were divided into 2 groups of “Neurofibroma” and “Clinical characteristic of pseudarthrosis”. And term “NF1” was the latest hot spot in the most cited article. Conclusion Current researches on CPT focuse upon clinical treatment. Basic research on the pathogenesis of CPT is still relatively lacking. In the future, investment in basic research on CPT should be strengthened to provide a more comprehensive treatment for CPT. © 2022, Journal of Clinical Pediatric Surgery. All rights reserved.     

Bibliometric indexes,databases and impact factors in cardiology

Bibliometry is a quantitative statistical technique to measure levels of production and dissemination of knowledge, as well as a useful tool to track the development of an scientific area. The valuation of production required for recognition of researchers and magazines is accomplished through tools called bibliometricindexes, divided into quality indicators and scientific impact. Initially developed for monographs of statistical measures especially in libraries, today bibliometrics is mainly used to evaluate productivity of authors and citation repercussion. However, these tools have limitations and sometimes provoke controversies about indiscriminate application, leading to the development of newer indexes. It is important to know the most common search indexes and use it properly even acknowledging its limitations as it has a direct impact in their daily practice, reputation and funds achievement.

他山之石,可以攻玉——浅析国外针灸与经络研究40年

针灸疗法在国际上日益受到人们关注。对“Web of Science”和“Medline”数据库的检索结果显示：40年来,国际针灸研究出现了两次高潮,一次在1972－1974年,一次在1998年。国外的针灸研究主要集中在临床研究,即针灸疗法在其施治的各种病症的有效性确认。近年来,国外的针灸研究开始注重方法学,如双盲和随机对照试验等。针灸技术的标准化是另一个急待解决的问题。由于文化的差别,经络研究在国外进行得不多。针灸与经络研究的手段急需现代化。
