PubMed数据库中有关股前外侧皮瓣的文献计量学分析

目的了解股前外侧皮瓣的发展现状、研究水平,推断研究热点及预测学科发展趋势。方法应用文献库管理软件Endnote for Windows,以美国PubMed的资料为统计源,对有关股前外侧皮瓣的研究文献进行计量学分析。结果1996年1月~2006年8月间,PubMed共收集股前外侧皮瓣研究文献236篇,中国和美国文献各有77篇,占全部文献的65.2%。游离皮瓣、穿支皮瓣、岛状皮瓣、超薄皮瓣及旋股外侧动脉降支的词频累计达到97.5%。该类皮瓣的文献量自2002年后成倍数增长,占所检文献总量的80%。结论股前外侧皮瓣文献的主要产文国是中国和美国。《Plast Reconstr Surg》等9种英文期刊为其主要载体;游离皮瓣、穿支皮瓣、超薄皮瓣、岛状皮瓣为股前外侧皮瓣研究中的热点与重点。研究方法正逐渐向放射造影及三维可视化发展。

A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE RESEARCHON ANTEROLATERAL THIGH FLAP

Objective To understand the status and developmental trends of the research on anterolateral thigh flap. Methods The PubMed search was downloaded and the results were imported into the EndNote database,then the distribution was analysed by age,nation,language,periodical and frequency.Results There were 236 articles on anterolateral thigh flap in PubMed from 1996 to August 2006.The amount of articles multiply increased from 2002 to August 2006,at eighty percent of all.They were published in 8 languages,in 47 journals and from 9 countries.China and the USA are the major countries of the publication,with 77 articles each,which altogether took up 65.2% of the total.Words of a high frequency are as follows: free skip flap,island skin flap,ultrathin skin flap,perforating artery,and descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery,the frequency ratio of which is up to 97.46%.Conclusion The papers on anterolateral thigh flap are written mainly by China and USA;English is the main publishing language;The articles are chiefly published by Plast Reconstr Surg and other 8 journals.The research emphases of the anterolateral thigh flap are on free skip flap,perforating flap,ultrathin skin flap,and island flap.Angiography and 3D-reconstruction are the recent techniques for the research.
