ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of the scientific research performance and analyze the differences between subjective and objective ones among the different characteristics of staffs in work and then propose tailored management strategies based on the research findings.Methods:A total number of 963 young researchers under the age of 45 (including doctors, medical technicians, scientific researchers) were surveyed and the impact on the scientific research performance of four subjective and objective factors including demographic characteristics and research motivation, self-efficacy, team support and the external environment were analyzed through self-developed questionnaire.Results:The academic degree, age, time spent overseas, administrative position, postgraduate mentor, professional title and levels, category of departments on the scores of scientific research performance had reached statistical significance ( P <0.05) by using Single factor analysis. The results showed that the impact on the scientific research performance followed a descending order of the category of postgraduate mentors, academic degree, professional title levels, the category of departments, self-efficacy, time spent overseas, and professional title series. Conclusions:According to the survey, this research focuses on the predictive factors which affecting scientific research performance as the important methods of scientific research promotion and talent training, and puts forward to the ideas of talent training, scheme of optimizing talent selection, carrying out accurate policy implementation and scientific assessment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To make good use of the incentive function of the reward policy of scientific research achievements in hospitals ,shorten the reward cycle of scientific and technological achievements ,reduce the management cost ,achieve the ul-timate goal of details management of scientific and technological achievements .Methods Through retrospective analysis of the incentive process to identify possible barriers ,reconstruct the rewarding procedures of scientific and technological achievements by bringing in informatization and publicity strategy ,compare the bonus distribution cycle with the traditional model .Results The results show that the reward model based on the scientific research management system reduces the bonus arrival waiting period by about 62％ ,saves management costs and improves staff compliance .Conclusions According to the 4-year practice experiences ,the new management model has further released the positive impact of the hospital award policy ,solved the key problem of restricting the rewarding effect by technological means in the process of rewarding scientific research achievements .
ABSTRACT
Objective To provide authors with more quality services,so as to improve management efficiency,reduce management time and manpower cost,ultimately achieve the expected delicacy management of scientific papers.Methods Indicators of traditional management pattern and "double track parallel" management mode of the scientific papers management process were compared through retrospective study.Such indicators include authors' operation,data error rate,average working cycle,management cost,user experience,data barriers,self-management consciousness and others.Resuits Significant improvements were shown in the data accuracy,management cost savings,user satisfaction,and data sharing in the "double track parallel" management model.Conclusions 5 years of practice demonstrated that the "double track parallel" management model not only effectively connects hospital policy and technical method,but also solves the key problems of data barriers,disjointed management and low efficiency.Scientific paper management is expected to be more refined and effective.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>There is no large population-based study of the distribution and changing trend of strabismus surgeries in China. This study aimed to investigate the distribution and the changing trend of strabismus surgery in a tertiary hospital of China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A retrospective study of all the strabismus surgeries performed in Beijing Tongren Eye Center from 2003 to 2012 was carried out. Characteristics analyzed included the type of strabismus, age, and gender.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Totally 26 524 strabismus surgeries were performed in Tongren Eye Center during the 10-year period. The number of surgeries increased steadily from 1 507 in 2003 to 3 482 in 2008 and slightly decreased to 3 124 in 2009, but there was a sharp drop to 2 569 in 2010 and then kept relatively steady at 2 760 in 2011 and 2 463 in 2012. Intermittent exotropia (30.3%) was the most common among all kinds of strabismus. The number of strabismus surgeries performed on children under 12 years of age (43.60%) was significantly higher than those of the other age groups (P < 0.05). Unilateral superior oblique paralysis was the most common subtype of paralytic strabismus (8.64%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The type distribution of strabismus surgery has changed during the recent decade. The age and type distribution of different strabismus remained basically constant, among which intermittent exotropia was the most common.</p>

Objective To establish a new approach based on mathematical morphology that can effectively reduce the drifts in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals. Methods Based on investigation of the characteristic of drifted fMRI signals, a mathematical morphology method for baseline drift correction was presented. Results With both simulated data and real fMRI data, the results of the experiment showed that the mathematical morphology method can effectively correct the baseline drifts. Conclusion Both linear and nonlinear drifts can be removed with the proposed method without any statistical model assumption.
ABSTRACT
Objective Although the ocular motility examination has been traditionally used in the diagnosis of complex strabismus resulting from cranial nerve (CN) and extraocular muscles (EOM) abnormalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) now permits the direct imaging of lesions in CNs and EOMs. Methods Twenty-six patients with complex strabismus underwent MRI examination on 1.5 T MR unit (Twinspeed, GE). Nerves to EOMs were imaged with T1 weighted in orbits in all patients using phase array surface colls. Results Patients with Duane syndrome ( 15 cases, 19 eyes) all exhibited absence or hypoplasia of abducens nerve (CN6), always with mild hypoplasia and apparent misdirection of oculomotor nerve ( CN3 ) to the lateral rectus muscle in the orbit, and there were no hypoplasia of EOMs. Patients with congenital fibrosis of EOMs (9 cases, 16 eyes) exhibited severe hypoplasia of CN3 and CN6, and EOMs appeared hypoplasia to a different degree, particularly severe for the superior rectus and levated palpted muscles. Multiple nerves displayed aplasia in patients with Mobius syndrome (1 case, 2 eyes) and there was abnormal branch from CN3 to lateral rectus. The tendons of bilateral superior oblique muscles were thin in the patients with Brown syndrome ( 1 case, 2 eyes). Conclusion MRI can directly demonstrate absence or hypoplasia of CNs and corresponding EOM abnormalities in congenital complex strabismus, which suggests that the mechanism of congenital complex strabismus is perhaps abnormal innervation or displasia of the ocular motor nerves.
