The spirit of the Party′s "20th Congress" illuminates the development direction of orthopedics in China / 中华创伤杂志

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in 2022 draws a blueprint for China′s future development, which is of epoch-making historical and political significance. The spirit of the congress has provided a clear direction and guidance for the high-quality development of orthopedics in China. The orthopedics in China gains significant progress, but there still remain many problems, for which the solution needs a guiding light. The "six persistences" proposed in the report of the congress for the development of orthopedics in China lights the voyage forward. Guided by the spirit of the congress, let us orthopedic surgeons set sail, cut the waves, and strive to write a new chapter in the development of orthopedics in China!

Criteria for selection and classification of studies in medical events

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of study methodology and evaluation type on the selection of studies during the presentation of scientific events. METHODS: A prospective, observational, transversal approach was applied to a cohort of studies that were submitted for presentation at the 2021 Brazilian Breast Cancer Symposium. Three forms of criteria (CR) were presented. CR1 was based on six criteria (method, ethics, design, originality, promotion, and social contribution); CR2 graded the studies from 0 to 10 for each study, and CR3 was based on five criteria (presentation, method, originality, scientific knowledge, and social contribution). To evaluate the item correlation, Cronbach's alpha and factorial analysis were performed. For the evaluation of differences between the tests, we used the Kruskal-Wallis and post-hoc Dunn tests. To determine the differences in the study classifications, we used the Friedman test and Namenyi's all-pairs comparisons. RESULTS: A total of 122 studies were evaluated. There was also a good correlation with the items concerning criterion 1 (α=0.730) and 3 (α=0.937). Evaluating CR1 methodology, study design and social contribution (p=0.741) represents the main factor and CR3 methodology, and the scientific contribution (p=0.994) represents the main factor. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed differences in the results (p<0.001) for all the criteria that were used [CR1-CR2 (p<0.001), CR1-CR3 (p<0.001), and CR2-CR3 (p=0.004)]. The Friedman test showed differences in the ranking of the studies (p<0.001) for all studies (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: Methodologies that use multiple criteria show good correlation and should be taken into account when ranking the best studies.

Presencia de las distintas áreas quirúrgicas en el Congreso Nacional de Cirugía. Análisis de los últimos 12 años

Introducción: Los trabajos científicos permiten divulgar, compartir y contrastar resultados a terceros. Una de las formas de ver la actividad investigativa de cada especialidad es a través de las presentaciones que realizan en reuniones científicas. Objetivo: Describir el número de presentaciones de las distintas especialidades o áreas quirúrgicas en Chile en el principal congreso realizado a nivel nacional y evaluar si el comportamiento fue distinto durante los años de pandemia por coronavirus. Material y Método: Estudio bibliométrico del Congreso Chileno de Cirugía entre los años 2010 y 2021 evaluando el número total de presentaciones por área quirúrgica, año de presentación y período categorizado en 2010 a 2019 y 2020 a 2021. Se realiza estadística descriptiva y análisis de asociación de medias de publicaciones por área y período. Resultados: Se identificaron 4.462 presentaciones, incluyendo resúmenes orales, póster, videos y jornada de residentes. La media total fue 371,8 trabajos anuales. Coloproctología y Cirugía Gastroesofágica aportaron un total de 616 (13,8%) y 598 (13,4%) respectivamente. La media de presentaciones anuales previo a la pandemia por coronavirus fue de 414, en contraste a los 160 trabajos anuales durante ella, existiendo una disminución significativa de medias de presentaciones por área de 27,6 (± 18,8) a 10,7 (± 8,69) (p < 0,001), sin diferencias sus porcentajes de participación respecto del total (p = 0,776). Conclusión: Coloproctología y Cirugía Gastroesofágica son las áreas quirúrgicas más representadas. Si bien en el período contemporáneo a la pandemia por coronavirus significó una disminución en las presentaciones, no se observó una modificación en el porcentaje de participación de algún área en particular.

Introduction: Scientific studies allow the disclosure, sharing and comparison of results with third parties. One of the ways to see the investigative activity of each medical specialty is through the presentations they make at scientific meetings. Aim: To describe the number of presentations of the different surgical specialties or areas in Chile in the main congress held at a national level and to assess whether the behavior was different during the years of the coronavirus pandemic. Material and Method: Bibliometric study of the Chilean Congress of Surgery between 2010 and 2021, evaluating the total number of presentations by surgical area, year of presentation and two categorized periods (2010 to 2019 and 2020 to 2021). Descriptive statistics and association analysis of publication means by area and period are performed. Results: 4,462 presentations were identified, including oral summaries, posters, videos, and residents' sessions, with a mean of 371.8 per year. Coloproctology and Gastroesophageal Surgery contributed a total of 616 (13.8%) and 598 (13.4%) respectively. The mean number of annual presentations prior to the coronavirus pandemic was 414, in contrast to the 160 annual works during it, with a significant decrease in the mean number of presentations per area from 27.6 (± 18.8) to 10.7 (± 8.69) (p < 0.001), without differences in their percentages of participation with respect to the total (p = 0.776). Conclusion: Coloproctology and Gastroesophageal Surgery are the most represented surgical areas. Although the contemporary period of the coronavirus pandemic meant a decrease in presentations, no change was observed in the percentage of participation in any particular area.

Materialidades e cultura científica transnacional dos objetos: o 12º Congresso Internacional de Zoologia, Lisboa, 1935 / Materialities and transnational scientific culture of objects: the 12th International Congress of Zoology, Lisbon, 1935

Resumo O 12º Congresso Internacional de Zoologia realizou-se em Lisboa, em 1935. Da sua memória concreta constam insígnias - estrela-do-mar - e caricaturas de zoólogos. A partir de investigação no Arquivo do Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência/Universidade de Lisboa, pretendemos interrogar a cenografia material, pensada pelo zoólogo Artur Ricardo Jorge pela aproximação epistémica às potencialidades da biografia de objetos científicos. Esta nota de pesquisa pretende deixar a marca de um discurso científico traduzido em materialidades de circulação em espaço público, na Europa globalizante dos anos 1930, com referências de poder científico, no contexto do Estado Novo português, inaugurado, constitucionalmente, em 1933.

Abstract The material memory of the 12th International Congress of Zoology, held in Lisbon in 1935 includes insignias - the starfish - and caricatures of zoologists. Through an investigation of the archives at the University of Lisbon's National Museum of Natural History and Science, we intend to investigate the material landscape as conceived by the zoologist Artur Ricardo Jorge by drawing epistemologically on the potentialities of the biography of scientific objects. This research note reveals a scientific discourse translated into materialities circulated in public spaces in the globalized Europe of the 1930s, with references from scientific power, in the context of Portugal's Estado Novo regime, enshrined in its 1933 constitution.

Publication of works presented in the 2016 and 2018 editions of the National Student Scientific Event on Internal Medicine -MEDINTÁVILA / Publicación de los trabajos presentados en las ediciones 2016 y 2018 del Evento Científico Estudiantil Nacional de Medicina Interna - Medintávila

Abstract Introduction: Much of the research works developed by students and presented in scientific events are not published in scientific journals. Objective: To characterize the research works presented in the 2016 and 2018 editions of the Evento Científico Estudiantil Nacional de Medicina Interna (National Student Scientific Event on Internal Medicine - (MEDINTÁVILA) and those published in scientific journals, as well as to identify factors associated with their publication. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional analytical study. A search strategy was carried out in April 2020 in Google Scholar in order to verify if the works presented in the 2016 y 2018 editions of the event had been published, in English or Spanish, in scientific journals. Bivariate analyses were performed to determine whether there were characteristics of the works associated with their publication, calculating prevalence ratios, along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals and p-values and using generalized linear models (family=Poisson; link=log) in which each university submitting the research work was used as a cluster. A significance level of p<0.05 was considered. Results: Out of the 335 research works analyzed, 180 (53.73%) were presented at the 2016 edition. Regarding typology and the topics they addressed, 190 (56.72%) were classified under the free topics category, and 170 addressed chronic illnesses (50.75%). A total of 24 works were published (7.16%), of which only 9 were cited, and there were authoring changes in 19 (79.17%). No factors associated with the publication of the works were identified in the bivariate analysis. Conclusion: The publication in scientific journals of the research works presented in both editions of the event is very low, thus it is necessary for Cuban universities to provide medical science students with more research-related support, since this could increase the probability of publishing their works.

Resumen Introducción. Muchas de las investigaciones desarrolladas por estudiantes y presentadas en eventos científicos no se publican en revistas científicas. Objetivos.

Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal analítico. Mediante una estrategia de búsqueda realizada en abril de 2020 en Google Académico, se constató si los trabajos presentados en 2016 y 2018 en el evento habían sido publicados, en inglés o español, en revistas científicas. Se realizaron análisis bivariados para determinar si hubo características de los trabajos asociadas con su publicación, calculándose razones de prevalencia, junto con sus respectivos intervalos de confianza al 95% y valores p mediante modelos lineales generalizados (familia Poisson, función de enlace log) en los que se usó como clúster a cada universidad que presentó la investigación. Se consideró un nivel de significancia de p<0.05. Resultados. De los 335 trabajos analizados, 180 (53.73%) correspondieron a la edición de 2016. Respecto a la tipología y temática, 190 (56.72%) fueron clasificados bajo la categoría Temas libres y 170 (50.75%) abordaron Enfermedades crónicas. Se publicaron 24 (7.16%) trabajos, de los cuales solo 9 fueron citados, y en 19 (79.17%) hubo cambios de autores. No se identificaron factores asociados a la publicación de los trabajos en el análisis bivariado. Conclusión. La publicación en revistas científicas de los trabajos presentados en ambas ediciones del Medintávila es muy baja, por lo que es necesario que las universidades cubanas brinden más apoyo en investigación a los estudiantes de ciencias médicas, ya que esto podría aumentar las probabilidades de publicación de sus trabajos.

Congresos de Anatomía del Cono Sur: 21 años de Historia / Congresses of Anatomy of the Southern Cone: 21 Years of History

Realizamos una reseña histórica de los Congresos de Anatomía del Cono Sur. A inicios del año 1999, se estableció un acuerdo entre la "Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía" y la "Asociación Rioplatense de Anatomía" para realizar -de manera conjunta- los congresos científicos de ambas sociedades. Unos meses después, también a propuesta de los Dres. Mariano del Sol y Ricardo Losardo, se solicitó que se realizara una nueva entidad a la cual denominaron inicialmente "Congreso de Anatomistas del Cono Sur", cuya finalidad sería reunir no solamente a los anatomistas argentinos, uruguayos y chilenos, sino también incorporar a los morfólogos de otros países de América del Sur, entre los cuales estaban los brasileños y los paraguayos. De esta manera, se inició la realización conjunta de los tres congresos (Chileno, Rioplatense y del Cono Sur) con una masiva participación de los morfólogos de numerosos países de nuestro continente. Los "Congresos de Anatomía del Cono Sur" (llamados así desde el II Congreso realizado en Chile) se han realizado normalmente cada año, muchas veces de manera conjunta con los Congresos Argentinos, Chilenos, Brasileños y Panamericanos de Anatomía, entre otros eventos. Al cumplirse 21 años del inicio de esta fructífera y beneficiosa unión científica quisimos plasmar en este artículo los orígenes de estos Congresos de Anatomía del Cono Sur, como también los motivos que llevaron a su creación. Asimismo, se enumeraron los encuentros realizados en los primeros 21 años (1999-2019), señalando sus fechas, sedes y presidentes.

We make a historical review of the Congresses of Anatomy of the Southern Cone. At the beginning of the year 1999, an agreement was established between the «Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía¼ and the «Asociación Rioplatense se Anatomía¼ to jointly conduct the scientific congresses of both societies. A few months later, also at the proposal of Drs. Mariano del Sol and Ricardo Losardo, a new entity was requested to be called initially "Congress of Anatomists of the Southern Cone", whose purpose would be to gather not only Argentine, Uruguayan and Chilean anatomists, but also incorporate morphologists from other countries in South America, including Brazilians and Paraguayans. In this way, the joint realization of the three congresses (Chilean, Rioplatense and the Southern Cone) began with a massive participation of the morphologists of numerous countries of our continent. The "Congresses of Anatomy of the Southern Cone" (so called since the II Congress held in Chile) have normally been held every year, often jointly with the Argentine, Chilean, Brazilian and Pan American Congresses of Anatomy, among other events. Upon the 21st anniversary of the beginning of this fruitful and beneficial scientific union we wanted to capture in this article the origins of these Congresses of Anatomy of the Southern Cone, as well as the reasons that led to its creation. Likewise, the meetings held in the first 21 years (1999-2019) were listed, indicating their dates, headquarters and presidents.

Report and Proposals on Participation in International Congress on Complementary Medicine Research (ICCMR) 2019 as the Members of International Committee of Japanese Society for Oriental Medicine / 日本東洋医学雑誌

The Japan Society for Oriental Medicine has established various committees, which are working every day to disseminate Japanese traditional herbal medicine (Kampo) and support the activities of academic members. As the members of the International Committee and the medical doctors who conduct research and clinical practice of Kampo at the university hospital, the authors participated in the 14th International Congress on Complementary Medicine Research held in Australia in May 2019. To improve the international recognition and international dissemination of Japanese Kampo, we held the Japanese Kampo Symposium on gastrointestinal diseases successfully. While it was realized that there was an international big interest in Japanese Kampo, it seemed that Kampo researchers in Japan lack the ability to dispatch of information at international conferences compared to neighboring countries such as Korea and China.
