A narrative review on the research history of renal fibrosis from 1836 to 2000 / 中华肾脏病杂志

Renal fibrosis (RF) is the key pathological feature for the progression of chronic kidney disease to end-stage renal failure. It has been an important scientific issue to understand its mechanism of RF in the field of kidney diseases in the past near two centuries. The progress of science and technology has not only provided a strong tool for RF research, but also given us many new ideas for RF prevention and treatment. The paper briefly reviews the key histories of RF research, with focuses on early studies of renal fibrosis, application of renal biopsy technology, establishment of RF animal models, advancements in cell and molecular biotechnology, and exploration into mechanisms underlying RF, to clarify future directions for chronic kidney disease prevention and treatment research.

Historical review: the German Neurological Society and its honorary members (1952-1982).

BACKGROUND: As part of a larger project commissioned by the German Neurological Society (DGN), this paper focuses on the DGN's German and Austrian honorary members. In particular, the question of whether former membership in the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) or other Nazi organizations was an obstacle to becoming an honorary member in the years 1952-1982, and whether victims of the Nazi regime were also considered for honorary membership. RESULTS: From the early 1950s to the early 1980s, the DGN awarded honorary membership to 55 individuals. Of these, 27 were German or Austrian citizens who were physicians during the Nazi era, and 17 of the 27 (63%) were members of the NSDAP, Storm Troopers (SA), or Schutzstaffel (SS). In the early postwar period, honorary membership was much less frequently awarded to former Nazi Party members than in the years around 1980. Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the only neurologist forced to emigrate, received his honorary membership in 1971. Brief biographies of Hans Jacob, Gustav Bodechtel, Karl Kleist, and Ludwig Guttmann outline exemplary careers and life histories, in addition to highlighting key issues such as concurrent research on "euthanasia" victims, denazification procedures, forced emigration, and the contemporary mindset in the Federal Republic of Germany. CONCLUSIONS: Apparently, a "Nazi past" did not play a decisive role in the selection process for honorary members within the DGN until at least the 1980s. Aside from Guttmann, no other neuroscientist expelled from Germany was honored. With these practices, the Society marginalized its Jewish colleagues for a second time.

Historic review: select chapters of a history of stroke.

BACKGROUND: There is no shortage of books, chapters and papers on the history of stroke focusing predominantly on the last 150 years and enumerating endless "milestones". Instead of adding another article to this body of knowledge, this essay aims at ensuring awareness for the "big picture", the "grandes routes", and the "striking breakes" without overloading the reader with too much detail. RESULTS: From a medical point of view, the history of stroke consists of two periods: the early era from the beginnings to 1812, and the following period from 1812 up to the present. It is argued that both periods require different methodical approaches, including disparate historiographical perspectives and varying forms of interpretation. In order to fully understand medical writings of the Greco-Roman era (Hippocratic writings, Galenic corpus) on "apoplexy", a solid knowledge of ancient doctrines concerning health and disease is indispensable. During the Middle Ages, the spiritual perspective can be highlighted by focusing on miracle healing and patron saints. While stroke basically remained a conundrum for many doctors and patients in early modern times (ca. 1500-1800; Platter, Wepfer), the revolutionary perception and definition of the disease as a result of a lesion in the 1810s (Rochoux, Rostan) opened the door to a productive relationship of the upcoming discipline "neurology" with the natural sciences during the nineteenth century and beyond (Virchow et al.). The mostly unwritten history of stroke in the twentieth century should not only include the medical, but also the patient's and the societal perspective. CONCLUSION: A deeper insight into the recent and distant past will produce better educated strokologists - physicians who are able to put their own work into perspective.

Development of Caring as a Human Science: 50 Years of History of the Korean Society of Nursing Science.

PURPOSE: This year 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Korean Society of Nursing Science (KSNS). This study was aimed to explore development of caring and describe the 50 years of history of KSNS within the sociocultural context of Korea regarding academic footsteps, meanings, and implications for the future. METHODS: This study used a historical research methodology using a literature review and bibliometric analysis. Relevant literature was reviewed and the published abstracts in the Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing (JKAN) were analyzed using VOSviewer. RESULTS: Birth control and family planning in the 1970s was the main research topic. In the 1980s, the development of nursing concepts, theories, and philosophies was the mission of KSNS to extend the disciplinary boundary. In the 1990s, the progress of KSNS to become one of the woman-dominant healthcare professionals was the mission in the given period. Expanding the frontiers of KSNS to the extent of global standards was the undertaking of the nursing scholars in the 2000s. Lastly, in the 2010s, the quality and quantity improvement of KSNS and JKAN is expected to make our future even prosperous. The map visualization of the 50 years of research accumulation showed the comparable opposition of quantitative vs. qualitative research methodologies, equation modeling, and instrument development. CONCLUSION: These clusters of research demonstrates the efforts to make nursing evidence by Korean nursing scholars for the last five decades. The growth in the slope of KSNS and outcomes of JKAN are to carry on to an unimaginable extent in the future.

100 Years of the Journal of Dental Research: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Since its inception in 1919, the Journal of Dental Research has continually published high-quality articles that span the breadth of research topics relevant to dentistry, oral surgery, and medicine. As part of the journal's centennial celebration, we conducted an electronic search on Scopus to identify and analyze the top 100 most cited articles from 1919 to 2018. Since Scopus does not capture older citations, we conducted an additional analysis by Google Scholar to identify key articles published in the first 50 y of the journal. Based on Scopus, the articles were ranked in descending order per their citation counts. The citation counts of the 100 most cited articles varied from 262 to 1,503. The year in which the largest number of top 100 articles were published was 2004 (n = 6). Within the top 100, the majority of articles originated from the United States (n = 52). Research Reports-Biomaterials & Bioengineering was the most frequent category of cited articles (n = 35). There was no significant association between total citation count and time since publication (correlation coefficient = -0.051, P = 0.656). However, there was a significant negative association of citation density (correlation coefficient = -0.610, P < 0.01) with time since publication. Our analyses demonstrate the broad reach of the journal and the dynamics in citation patterns and research agenda over its 100-y history. There is considerable evidence of the high variance in research output, when measured via citations, across the globe. Moreover, it remains unclear how patients' priorities and dental health care needs are aligned with the perceived influence of single research pieces identified by our search. Our findings may help to inspire future research in tackling these inequalities and highlight the need for conceptualizing research priorities.

Síntesis histórica de estudios biosociales de la coca y la alimentación en Perú, 1948-1994 / Historical synthesis of the coca’s biosocial studies and nutrition in Peru, 1948-1994

El objetivo del presente artículo es ofrecer una perspectiva histórica de investigaciones sobre cocaísmo y alimentación en el hombre andino durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. El hábito del cocaísmo fue considerado un importante problema de salud del Perú en los 40s, cuando el debate académico planteaba asociación entre deficiente alimentación y cocaísmo, atribuidos a la cocaína. Años después, estudios epidemiológicos apoyaron este paradigma. Desde los 70s, publicaciones antropológicas cuestionaron esta asociación y defendieron el uso social de la coca. En los años 80 se demostraron efectos farmacológicos de la coca y cocaína en la reducción del consumo de alimentos en animales de experimentación, que apoyaron la antigua hipótesis de Gutiérrez-Noriega.

The objective of this paper is to offer a historical perspective about the scientific investigations respect to the chewing of coca leaves and food ingestion of the Andean population during the second half of the twentieth century. The habit of cocaism, attributed to cocaine, was discussed one of the most important problems of Public Health in Peru during the 40s, period when the academic debate of the association of deficient food and cocaism was discussed. Years later, epidemiological studies supported this paradigm; however, since the 70s, anthropological reports questioned that claim and defended the social use of coca chewing. During the 80s the pharmacological effects of coca and cocaine were demonstrated in reduction of food consumption in experimental animals, which supported the old Gutierrez-Noriega´s hypothesis.

Musculoskeletal training injury prevention in the U.S. Army: Evolution of the science and the public health approach.

Injuries cause more morbidity among soldiers in the U.S. Army than any other health condition. Over two-thirds of U.S. soldiers' injuries occur gradually from cumulative micro-traumatic damage to the musculoskeletal system as a result of physical training activities. Paradoxically, the very physical training activities required to improve soldier performance also result in injury. Determining the amounts and types of physical training that maximize performance while minimizing injuries requires scientific evidence. This evidence must be incorporated into a framework that ensures scientific gaps are addressed and prevention efforts are evaluated. The five-step public health approach has proven to be an effective construct for Army public health to organize and build an injury prevention program. Steps include: 1) surveillance to define the magnitude of the problem, 2) research and field investigations to identify causes and risk factors, 3) intervention trials and systematic reviews to determine what works to address leading risk factors, 4) program and policy implementation to execute prevention, and 5) program evaluation to assess effectiveness. Dissemination is also needed to ensure availability of scientific lessons learned. Although the steps may not be conducted in order, the capability to perform each step is necessary to sustain a successful program and make progress toward injury control and prevention. As with many U.S. public health successes (e.g., seatbelts, smoking cessation), the full process can take decades. As described in this paper, the U.S. Army uses the public health approach to assure that, as the science evolves, it is translated into effective prevention.

Searching for neurological diseases in the Julio-Claudian dynasty of the Roman Empire / À procura de doenças neurológicas na dinastia Júlio-Claudiana do Império Romano

ABSTRACT The gens Julia was one of the oldest families in ancient Rome, whose members reached the highest positions of power. They made history because Julius Caesar, perpetual dictator, great-uncle of the first emperor, Augustus, passed his name on to the Julio-Claudian dynasty with the emperors Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero. Descriptions of the diseases of these emperors and some of his family members may indicate diagnoses such as epilepsy, dystonia, dementia, encephalitis, neurosyphilis, peripheral neuropathies, dyslexia, migraine and sleep disorders. In the historical context of ancient Rome, the possibility of infectious diseases related to the libertine way of life is quite large. However, there is a possibility that some of these diseases occurred from genetic transmission.

RESUMO A gens Iulia era uma das mais antigas famílias da Roma Antiga, com membros que chegaram aos mais altos cargos. Ficaram na história por causa de Julius Caesar, ditador perpétuo, pai adotivo do primeiro imperador Augustus, por meio de quem seu nome passou para a dinastia Julio-Claudian com os imperadores Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius e Nero. Descrições de doenças desses imperadores e de alguns de seus familiares podem nos remeter a diagnósticos como epilepsia, distonia, demência, encefalites, neurossífilis, neuropatias periféricas, dislexia, migrânea e distúrbios do sono. No contexto histórico da Roma antiga, a possibilidade de doenças infecciosas e relacionadas ao modo de vida libertino é bastante grande. Entretanto, existe a possibilidade de que algumas dessas doenças tenham ocorrido por transmissão genética.

Cluster Analysis in Nursing Research: An Introduction, Historical Perspective, and Future Directions.

The use of cluster analysis in the nursing literature is limited to the creation of classifications of homogeneous groups and the discovery of new relationships. As such, it is important to provide clarity regarding its use and potential. The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to distance-based, partitioning-based, and model-based cluster analysis methods commonly utilized in the nursing literature, provide a brief historical overview on the use of cluster analysis in nursing literature, and provide suggestions for future research. An electronic search included three bibliographic databases, PubMed, CINAHL and Web of Science. Key terms were cluster analysis and nursing. The use of cluster analysis in the nursing literature is increasing and expanding. The increased use of cluster analysis in the nursing literature is positioning this statistical method to result in insights that have the potential to change clinical practice.

[Fifty years of services of biomedical information in health documentation centers in Puebla, Mexico]. / Cincuenta años de los servicios de información biomédica en centros de documentación en salud de Puebla.

Social inequality in health: revisiting moments and trends in 50 years of publication of RSP / Desigualdade social em saúde: revisitando momentos e tendências nos 50 anos de publicação da RSP

ABSTRACT This study describes the frequency and types of articles on social inequalities in health published in 50 years of the Revista de Saúde Pública, taking as reference some milestones that were used as guidelines to develop the research on this theme. Checking titles, keywords and abstracts or full texts, we identified 288 articles whose central or secondary focus was social inequalities in health. Corresponding to just 1.8% in the initial years, articles on social inequalities in health have represent 10.1% of the articles published in the last decade. The designs used were mainly cross-sectional (58.0%) and ecological (18.1%). The most analyzed themes were: food/nutrition (20.8%), mortality (13.5%), infectious diseases (10.1%), oral health (9.0%), and health services (8.7%). Articles focused on the analysis of racial inequalities in health amounted to 6.9%. Few articles monitored the trends of social inequalities in health, essential enterprise to assess and support interventions, and an even smaller number evaluated the impact of policies and programs on the reduction of social inequalities in health.

RESUMO Este estudo descreve a frequência e os tipos de artigos sobre desigualdades sociais em saúde publicados nos 50 anos da Revista de Saúde Pública, tomando por referência alguns marcos que balizaram o desenvolvimento das investigações nessa temática. Checando títulos, palavras-chave e resumos ou textos completos, foram identificados 288 artigos cujo foco central ou secundário era desigualdades sociais em saúde. Correspondendo a apenas 1,8% nos anos iniciais, artigos sobre desigualdades sociais em saúde chegaram a representar 10,1% dos publicados na última década. Os desenhos utilizados foram principalmente transversais (58,0%) e ecológicos espaciais (18,1%). Os temas mais analisados foram: alimentação/nutrição (20,8%), mortalidade (13,5%), doenças infecciosas (10,1%), saúde bucal (9,0%) e serviços de saúde (8,7%). Artigos voltados à análise de desigualdades raciais em saúde somaram 6,9%. Poucos artigos monitoraram as tendências das desigualdades sociais em saúde, empreendimento essencial para avaliar e subsidiar intervenções, e um número ainda menor avaliou o impacto de políticas e programas na redução das desigualdades sociais em saúde.

Revista de Saúde Pública in scientific publications on violence and health (1967-2015) / A Revista de Saúde Pública na produção bibliográfica sobre violência e saúde (1967-2015)

ABSTRACT This article retrieved the publications from the Revista de Saúde Pública journal (from 1967 to 2015) on violence and health, on the SciELO and PubMed bases, by searching for the terms "violence", "suicide", "aggression", "bullying", and "external causes", registered in any part of the text. We found 130 articles (the first one published in 1974). We observed: increase of publications over time, with decrease in the last five years; similar production volume in lethal and non-lethal violence; later publication of the latter; few studies in qualitative research; mostly descriptive production; and visualization of the problem more by the acts than by contexts or motivations and aggressors. Social markers were little approached, appearing, from largest to smallest frequency, social class, gender, race/ethnicity, and generation. Human rights were little used and only recently used as analytical framework, connected more to gender than to social class. Although Revista de Saúde Pública has registered the theme in its publications, consolidating it as scientific production line, there is still great explanatory theoretical rarefaction and little intersectionality between violence, social inequalities, and human rights.

RESUMO A produção da Revista de Saúde Pública (de 1967 até 2015) sobre violência e saúde foi recuperada nas bases SciELO e PubMed utilizando-se os termos "violência", "suicídio", "agressões", "bullying" e "causas externas", registrados em qualquer parte do texto. Foram encontrados 130 artigos (o primeiro deles publicado em 1974). Constatou-se: aumento das publicações no tempo, com decréscimo nos últimos cinco anos; volume similar de produção em violência letal e não letal; publicação mais tardia desta última; poucos estudos em pesquisa qualitativa; produção majoritariamente descritiva; e visibilização do problema, mais pelos atos que pelos contextos ou motivações e agressores. Os marcadores sociais foram pouco tematizados, aparecendo da maior para a menor frequência, classe social, gênero, raça/etnia e geração. Direitos humanos foi pouco, e apenas recentemente, usado como referencial analítico, conectado mais ao gênero do que à classe social. Embora a Revista de Saúde Pública tenha inscrito o tema em suas publicações, consolidando-o como linha de produção científica, há, ainda, grande rarefação teórica explicativa e pouca interseccionalidade entre violência, desigualdades sociais e direitos humanos.

(2) composition of research corpus, in which we included 351 bibliographic records of articles, books, book chapters, editorials, book reviews, informative notes and annual reports of the RSP and excluded 516 duplicates and acknowledgement notes, obituary notes, and nonretrievable citations. (3) data organization and analysis, in which we built databases for descriptive analysis and development of the MeSH coauthors and terms networks in VOSviewer software. For analysis of editorials, three reviewers read the full text of each editorial and categorized them according to subject, historical context and perspectives, relating them with historical milestones. RESULTS Forattini's scientific production occurred from 1946 to 2009, most consisting of articles (n = 218; 62.1%), editorials (n = 43; 12.3%), and books (n = 13; 3.7%). The main subjects were Culicidae (36.8%), Triatominae (12.5%), and Epidemiology (10.0%). The coauthors of articles were his professors, colleagues of his generation, and graduate students. His editorials addressed critical reflections on the production of knowledge, research priorities, and factors that contributed to or hindered progress. The scope of subjects is broad, referring to socioeconomic and scientific development, public health issues in developed countries, or global health. CONCLUSIONS The analysis shows Forattini's commitment with public health, research with vectors, training of researchers, and scientific communication.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Analisar as principais características da produção científica de Oswaldo Paulo Forattini, pesquisador e, por 40 anos, editor da Revista de Saúde Pública. MÉTODOS Estudo descritivo com abordagem bibliométrica realizado em três etapas. (1) Identificação dos registros bibliográficos, utilizando a seguinte estratégia de busca: "Oswaldo Paulo Forattini" OR "Forattini OP" OR "Forattini O" nas fontes de informação Google Scholar, Web of Science e PubMed, em julho de 2016, o que recuperou 867 registros. (2) Composição do corpus da pesquisa, na qual foram incluídos 351 registros bibliográficos de artigos, livros, capítulos de livros, editoriais, resenhas de livros, notas informativas e relatórios anuais da RSP e excluídos 516 duplicatas e notas de agradecimento, notas de obituários e citações não recuperáveis. (3) Organização e análise dos dados, na qual foram construídos bancos de dados para análise descritiva e elaboração das redes de coautores e de termos do MeSH no software VOSviewer. Para análise dos editoriais, três revisores leram o texto completo de cada editorial e os categorizaram segundo assunto, contexto histórico e perspectivas, relacionando-o com marcos históricos. RESULTADOS A produção científica de Forattini ocorreu de 1946 a 2009, a maioria composta por artigos (n = 218; 62,1%), editoriais (n = 43; 12,3%) e livros (n = 13; 3,7%). Os principais assuntos foram Culicidae (36,8%), Triatominae (12,5%) e Epidemiologia (10,0%). Os coautores dos artigos foram seus mestres, colegas de sua geração e alunos de pós-graduação. Seus editoriais abordaram reflexões críticas sobre a produção de conhecimento, prioridades em pesquisa e fatores que contribuíam ou desfavoreciam o progresso. O escopo dos assuntos é amplo, remetendo ao desenvolvimento científico e socioeconômico, questões de saúde pública em países desenvolvidos ou saúde global. CONCLUSÕES A análise mostra o comprometimento de Forattini com a saúde pública, na pesquisa com vetores, na formação de pesquisadores e na comunicação científica.
