Instructions for Authors (part 3)




Requirements for manuscript structure (continued)


Results


Results present your results in a logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables or illustrations; emphasize or summarize only important observations. Extra- or supplementary materials and technical details can be placed in an appendix where it will be accessible but will not interrupt the flow of the text; alternatively, it can be published only in the electronic version of the journal. When data are summarized in the Results section, give numeric results not only as derivatives (for example, percentages) but also as the absolute numbers from which the derivatives were calculated, and specify the statistical methods used to analyze them. Restrict tables and figures to those needed to explain the argument of the paper and to assess its support. Use graphs as an alternative to tables with many entries; do not duplicate data in graphs and tables. Where scientifically appropriate, analyses of data by variables such as age and sex should be included.


Discussion


The main purpose of the Discussion is to comment on the significance of the results and set them in the context of previous work. Emphasize any new and important findings and relate your results to other studies. Discuss the limitations of the study (study question, study design, data collection, analysis and interpretation). Please avoid simply repeating information that has appeared in the Results section. In particular, contributors should avoid making statements on economic benefits and costs unless the manuscript includes economic data and analyses. Avoid claiming priority and alluding to work that has not been completed. New hypotheses may be stated if needed, however they should be clearly labeled as such.


Acknowledgments


Acknowledgments may briefly include 1) financial support; 2) contributors that need acknowledging but do not justify authorship; 3) technical help; 4) material support.

If the researches are supported by funds, the funding should be labelled by 'Fund program' with fund number in brackets, for example 'Fund program: Natural Science Foundation of China (30271269); The National High Technology Research and Development Program of China (2003AA205005)' , and electronic copies of fund project documents are required.


Abbreviations


Any abbreviations should be defined on first usage in the text. However, some common names, such as GTP, RNA and PCR, may not be defined. All nomenclature, including gene names and symbols, should be used in a scientifically accurate manner following the nomenclature conventions adopted by the scientific community.



Tables and Figures


Each figure or table should be labeled sequentially and cited in the text, present with a title and legends and follow the corresponding content in the text. The legends should be a brief statement of figures (tables), indicating the full names of abbreviations that are not widely known. Three-line tables are recommended, and the number of significant digit should be consistent for the same parameter in one table. Recommended ratio of height to width of line graphs is 5∶7. Figures should be in high resolution (at least 5 megapixels) and contrast. Figure parts should be noted as A, B, C, etc. When symbols including arrows and abbreviations are used, explain

each one in the legend when submitting the revised manuscript, original figures should be submitted as an attachment (such as JPEG, TIFF files, not as PDF files) when submitting the original manuscript. Staining methods and magnification should be identified in histopathologic figures.


References


Authors should be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of references and for their correct citation in the text. The Vancouver formats are recommended. References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text with superscript Arabic numerals in square brackets. List authors and/or editors up to 3; if more than 3, list the first 3 authors followed by et al. The author name should be listed as the last name followed by acronyms of the first name without point of abbreviation. References in English should be checked in the PubMed database by the link http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, which provides the doi of each reference, and those in Chinese should be checked by the links http://www.wanfangdata.com.cn (WanFang Database) or http://sjk11.e-library.com.cn/kns55/ (CNKI Database).
