ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To investigate the research status and hotspots of inhalation therapy for respiratory diseases in the world，and to provide reference for further development of the filed in China. METHODS ：All literatures about inhalation therapy for respiratory disease were retrieved from Web of Science database from the inception to Jan. 1st，2020. The retrieval result analysis function of Web of Science combined with visual analysis function of CiteSpace 5.1.R6SE software were used to analyze included literatures from respective of annual number of articles published ，countries，institutions，categories and co-cited authors ， so as to analyze the research situation in this field. The knowledge map of key words was drawn ，then cluster analysis and burst detection were carried out ，and the research hotspot and development process were analyzed. RESULTS ：A total of 1 385 literatures were included. From 1947 to 2020，the overall trend of annual number of articles published was on the rise. There were 66 countries involved in relevant research ，the United States was in the leading position （the number of articles published accounting for 33.79％ of total articles published ），followed by Germany and UK （the number of articles published accounting for 10.32％， 8.88％ of total articles published ），while Chinese number of articles published accounting for only 3.75％ of total articles published. Institutions involved in this research field included the respiratory diseases research institution ，comprehensive universities and national institute for occupational safety health ；top ranked institutions were Sydney University ，North Carolina University， Harvard University ， etc. The subject category involved molecular biology ， internal medicine ， pharmacology， engineering and other fields. A total of 749 authors were co-cited ，and the co-cited frequency of top two authors were 109，84 times respectively. Through the cluster analysis ，6 major researches hotspots were obtained in this field ，including the dosage form and technology design of inhaled drugs ，the mechanism of inhaled drugs ，the application of inhalation therapy for the obstructive diseases of respiratory system ，the application of inhalation therapy for the infectious diseases of respiratory system ，the application of inhalation therapy for the special population of respiratory diseases，and the risk factors in the application of inhalation （No.2017YFC0909900） therapy for respiratory diseases. Through the sudden detection ， it was found that in the early 1990s，the research in this field was very active ，and there were many research hotspots ；in the early 21st century ， there were several new research hotspots for a short time ，such as metered-dose inhaler ，aerosol，etc.；till the 2020s，there were many research hotspots ，such as nanoparticles，human trials ，etc. CONCLUSIONS ：Researches about inhalation therapy for the respiratory diseases are steadily increasing internationally ，while the researches in this field in China is still very limited. In the future ，our country can pay attention to the international research hotspot and direction in this field ，and further strengthen the exchanges and cooperation with other countries.
ABSTRACT
TED-Med Viewing, Listening&Speaking is compiled to serve academic audio-visual-oral English teaching in medical colleges. This paper elaborates some compilation ideas concerning this text-book. First, both the urgent needs of academic English teaching and the unique advantages of TED speech are the major stimulus to compiling this textbook. Second, its compiling philosophy adheres to learning centered, meaningful input. Third, compiling process is divided into three stages-preparation, writing and evaluation. Third, compiling principles includes four aspects: language and medical knowledge integrate organically, the text and the task are authentic; proficiency training approaches are scientific; and the text-book is suitable for autonomous learning. Forth, the main content covers four medicine-related themes-humanity, health, disease, science and technology; each theme consists of three sub topics with 12 units (topics) in total; the content is interesting, informative and reflective. These compilation ideas prove to be scientific and feasible demonstrated by English teachers and medical experts. TED-Med Viewing, Listening&Speaking is expected to be completed and published earlier in order to promote academic English teach-ing and research in medical colleges.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the serum γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GGT) levels in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in different immune status and investigate their relationship with HBV DNA loads and ALT levels. Methods Blood samples were collected from 191 patients with chronic HBV infection in different immune status, including inactive HBV carrier state (group B,n = 55), immune tolerance phase (group C, n=47), HBeAg-negative CHB (group D, n =17), immune-reactive phase (group E, n=72) and 61 healthy individuals ( group A) for the detection of the serum γ-GGT, ALT level and HBV DNA loads. Results γ-GGT level were obviously higher in groups D and E than those in groups of A, B and C (P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed that the γ-GGT levels were positively correlated with serum ALT , AST levels in HBeAg-negative CHB and immune-reactive phase , but not correlated with HBV DNA loads. Conclusions The levels of γ-GGT are different during different immune status in patients with chronic HBV infection. The increased serum γ-GGT level may be an indicator for patients with chronic HBV infection entering immune active phase. The liver inflammation is the major impact factor to the γ-GGT levels.
