Objective To analyze the articles published in Chinese Journal of Pediatric Surgery so as to understand its characteristics in different development stages from its founding to present. Methods Bibliometric methods were used to analyze the published articles. And the relevant indices were column, article volume, cooperation, regional distribution, prolific institutions, corresponding author and fund papers, etc. Results A total of 9, 214 academic articles were published in 93 columns in this journal. The average article volume in each stage was over 240 and average pages of each article increased stage by stage. After screening, 5, 708 articles were selected for further analyses. There were 25, 269-person-time authors in total with a cooperation rate of 93.45% and a collaboration degree of 4.43. Author publishing over 4 articles was called a core author. There were 342 core authors publishing 2, 383 articles accounting for 41.77% of the total. And 843 articles were marked with 353 corresponding authors. Authors' regions covered 31 province-level administrations of China. And eastern China was the densest region where 3, 705 articles were published and accounted for 64.91% of the total. There were 18 institutions publishing over 80 articles each and 3114 articles in total, accounting for 54.56% of the total. The affiliated hospitals of medical colleges were the major institutions to the authors belonged, which have published 4, 443 articles, accounting for 77.88% of the total. Articles supported by scientific fund were 884, accounting for 15.49% of the total. Of all funds, state and province-level funds accounted for 93.1%. The portion of fund papers increased stage by stage, with a recent portion of 30.38%. Conclusions Chinese Journal of Pediatric Surgery has a high academic level. With great domestic influences, it plays a very important role in researches and clinical guidance in the field of pediatric surgery. Key words: Bibliometrics; Periodicals; Pediatrics

Pulmonary function testing (PFT) has become an integral part of the clinical assessment of pulmonary diseases and has been practiced more and more in pediatrics. The results of tests cannot be interpreted appropriately without reference values. It is recommended that laboratories should use the predicted equations that are most close to their population. However, there are no such references available for southern Chinese children until now. Objective This study was undertaken to characterize the forced expiratory maneuver of growth and establish the normal lung function prediction equations for southern Chinese children. Methods A survey in 385 healthy school children (200 boys, 185 girls) aged 6 to 14 years old was carried out in Guangzhou in 1998. Thirteen flow-volume tests parameters [e.g. forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1), maximal mid-expiratory flow rate (FEF25%-75%)] were measured by using Gould 2800 spirometry. Stepwise multiple regressions and non-linear regressions were carried out with the statistical software SPSS 9.0 for Windows to identify the best predictors of lung function parameters using standing height, weight, age and gender as potential determinants. Standing height, weight and age were used to compare the predicted values from our equations and other commonly used equations such as Ploger′s, Knudson′s and Hong′s. Results All lung volumes and flow rates increased with the age, height as well as weight growth in both gender groups. FVC were significantly different among age groups in both genders (Fboy=4.562, Fgirl=5.137, P all <0.001). It was found that lung volumes were higher in boys than those in girls under the age of 10 years, and cross-over occurred at the age of 11 to 12 years, then inversed again after 13 years of age. The correlation among most lung function parameters was higher in height than weight and age. The regression equation for FEV1 and height is as follows: (Boys)FEV1=0.141453×height0.019138, r=0.93178, P<0.001, (Girls)FEV1=0.127 097×height0.019 676, r=0.90382, P<0.001. The average expiratory time was 3.11 seconds in this group. The regression equations of lung function were established. By comparison with the equations derived from our study and studies by other authors, it was found that the difference between measured data and predicted values from other authors were higher than those from ours. Conclusion Reference values and predicted equations for forced expiratory lung function for southern Chinese children presented in this paper may be recommended for use in the southern regions of China.

Objective To understand the research status, research hotspots and development trend of compassion fatigue with the bibliometric analysis on compassion fatigue related literatures in China so as to provide a reference for future research and development. Methods We retrieved compassion fatigue related literatures of our country published in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , WanFang data, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) , VIP, Web of Science and PubMed from January 2008 to July 2018. The included literatures were multidimensionally analyzed with the bibliometric analysis and social network analysis. SPSS 22.0 was used to data statistical treatment. Results Finally a total of 143 literatures were included with 138 Chinese literatures. The volume of literatures showed a tendency to increase year by year. There were 120 journal articles and 9 (6.3%) of them were published in Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing with the most publications. Ranked by the areas of the first author, a total of 96 (67.1%) literatures were published in the top 10 areas and 16 (11.2%) literatures were published in Hubei Province with the most publications. The rate of coauthor was 85.3% with 3 for the cooperation degree and core authors were 20. There were 31 literatures funded by research fund with 21.7% for the ratio of fund-sponsored articles. The number of quotations were 2106 with 17.6% for the rate of quotation each article. Research type focused on investigations and interviews with 106 articles accounting for 74.1%. A total of 4 key words were with word frequency equal to or greater than 14 including compassion fatigue, nurses, empathy fatigue and influencing factors. Conclusions Researches on compassion fatigue of our country are in a development stage. We should expand the breadth and depth of the researches, increase the investment of research fund, strengthen cooperation among institutions and promote the establishment of professional core team so as to promote the development of researches on compassion fatigue of our country.

The problems of the author and version of Altar Scriptures are the cruxes to the history of the Chinese Zen in the early days. Taking the ”Author and Version of Altar Scriptures-A Comparative Study of Related Research Viewpoints among Yin Shun, Hu Shih and Japanese Scholars” as the theme, this paper aims at studying and comparing the research results of Yin Shun and so on over these aspects. Hu Shih thinks that the author of Altar Scriptures should be Shen Huei and Dunhuang version is the most ancient version of Altar Scriptures. Suzuki Daisetsu argues that Altar Scriptures is a work passed on to the later generations from the Southern Master, and thus its version goes through changes along with time. Ui Hakuju indicates that Altar Scriptures may be gradually revised and enlarged, and has gone through at least two revisions. Employing a different path, Sekiguchi Mahiro refers to the suspected ideas of Huei Neng in Interpretation of Jin-gang Scriptures according to the legend, and believes that Altar Scriptures represents the thinking of Shen Huei. He gives evidence and reasons that Altar Scriptures cannot represent the ideas of Huei Neng. He mentions that the two volumes of Interpretation of Jin-gang Scriptures, or the suspected ideas of Huei Neng, are consistent with Pithy Formulas of Jin-gang Scriptures. He suggests that Jin-gang Ban-ruo-mi Scriptures is the blueprint of Huei Neng's thinking. However, Yanagida Seizan has a different point of view. He thinks that Altar Scriptures is a mixed product of Niu-tou Master and Southern Master, and that Lelin Fahai of Niu-tou Master is very probably the author of this book. Yin Shun thinks that the main body of Altar Scriptures is just ”Teaching of Da-fan Temple.” He trusts that the Dunhuang version of Altar Scriptures has gone through at least two revisions: one refers to the revision of Altar Scriptures as mentioned by Huei Jhong of Nanyang, and the so-called ”Southern Objectives,” and the other refers to the Altar Scriptures passed on by the disciples of Shen Huei. Above all, over the issues of the author and version of Altar Scriptures, Yin Shun, Hu Shih and each of those Japanese scholars have their own evidences and points of view.

Objective To explore the normal range of cingulate cortex volumes of Chinese adults of the Han nationality and its relationship with age, which provide morphological data for the construction of database for Chinese Standard Brain.Methods This is a clinical multi-center study.One thousand Chinese healthy volunteers ( age range = 18 to 70) recruited from 15 hospitals were divided into 5 groups, i.e.,Group A (age range = 18 to 30), B (age range=31 to 40), C (age range =41 to 50), D (age range =51 to 60), and E (age range =61 to 70).Each group contained 100 males and 100 females.All of the volunteers were scanned by MR using T1 weighted three-dimensional magnetization prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo sequence.Cingulate cortex volume (including bulk volume and the left/right volume) was measured semi-manually using 3D volume analysis software.Cingulate cortex volumes among age groups were compared by one-way ANOVA.Right and left cingnlate cortex volumes between sexualities were analyzed by paired samples t test.The relationship between cingulate cortex volume and age was analyzed by Pearson correlations and regression analysis.Results Cingulate cortex volumes of male and female were (20 347 ± 2504) and ( 19 432 ± 2184) mm3 respectively, and the male's was significantly larger than that of female's (two sample t'-test for independent samples, t'= 6.156, P < 0.05 ).Right and left cingnlate cortex volumes of male were ( 10 717 ± 1629) and (9630 ± 1498) mm3 respectively, and those of female's were ( 10 064 ± 1407 ) and ( 9368 ± 1441 )mm3 respectively.The volumes of cingulate cortex were significantly different between right and left in male or female ( t = - 12.960, - 8.511, P < 0.05 ),and right was larger than left.Bilateral cingulate cortex volume in male among group A, B, C, D and E[left: ( 10 132 ± 1291 ), ( 10 113 ± 1638), (9599 ± 1576), (9594 ± 1288), (8710 ± 1212) mm3 ; right:(11 212±1442), (11 096±1602), (11 040±1403), (10 633±1638), (9604±1522) mm3] had statistical differences (F = 16.738, 18.707, P < 0.01 ) ; and those in female among five age groups[left:(9689 ± 1426), (9652 ± 1676), (9347 ± 1500), (9098 ± 1225), (9053 ± 1233) mm3 ; fight: ( 10 558 ±1325), ( 10 266 ± 1463), ( 10 100 ± 1497), (9779 ± 1304), (9617 ± 1254) mm3] also had significant differences (F = 16.859,7.528,P <0.01 ).Bilateral cingnlate cortex volume in both male and female were negatively correlated with age ( r = - 0.330, - 0.324, - 0.169, - 0.243, P < 0.05 ), though the correlation coefficient is not high.Conclusions Cingnlate cortex volume could be accurately measured on the high-resolution MRI with 3D volume analysis software, which can provide morphological data for the construction of database for Chinese Standard Brain.The results may provide normal range for the diagnosis of the volumetric deficits of cingulate cortex.

Japan and China have a very close relationship. Besides borrowing Chinese characters, it also owes a deep and far influence to China. Some earliest Japanese literature works, such as The Ancient Chronicles(KOZIKI) in year 712, Japanese Chronicles (NIHONSHOKI) in 720, and the poetry anthology KAIHUSO in 751 were all written in Chinese characters. Up until the middle of Edo, the so-called ”renovating literature” was born. The Stories of Rain and the Moon (UGETSUMONOGATARI), was one of the representing work among all the fantastic and ghost fictions. Especially for the second volume, the Appointment of Chrysanthemum, was apparently adapted from the novel, Fan Ju-Ching's Life-and Death Friendship, produced in Ming's Dynasty.Although the wording and the plots were very similar to the Chinese version, the meaning and its functions that Japanese one presented were rather different and unique. This study tried explore the development of Fan Ju-ching's story in China and how it was rearranged and renovated into a fit-for-Japanese story by the Japanese author with his own literature accomplishment under the Japanese social and folk customary influence.

Objective To investigate the authors, the institution and endemic distribution of these authors of Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics, and understand the current situation and problems in the field of Orthopaedics. Methods The authors, the co-authors and the core authors of papers published in Chinese Journal of Orthopedics from 2005 to 2009 were quantitatively analyzed using literature search through CMCI.The distribution of institution, region and highly quantitative organization were also analyzed. Results The 1182 papers were published by the Journal within 5 years. There were 1108 papers with one or more co-authors; the cooperative rate and degree were 93.74% and 5.02, respectively. 74 papers were written by single author, which accounted for 6.26% of all papers. 615 authors (75.18% of all first authors) published only one paper. There were 295 (24.96%) papers from 67 (8.19%) core authors. 601 (50.85%) papers were from 20 high-productivity institutes. The top three high-productivity institutes were Tianjin hospital, Beijing Jishuitan hospital and Nanjing Drum Tower hospital of Nanjing University Medical School. The number of papers were 89 (7.53%), 75 (6.35%) and 43 (3.64%), respectively. The number of papers from the teaching hospital,provincial or municipal hospitals, military hospitals were 722 (61.08%), 226 (19.12%) and 157 (13.28%),respectively. According to the distribution of Province, Beijing was the first of place with 264 (22.34%) papers, followed by Shanghai by 160 (13.54%) papers and Tianjin by 136 (11.51%) papers. The distribution range of the authors has been expanded to five countries. Conclusion The influence of the Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics has greatly increased. Authors of the Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics have a highly cooperative rate. There is a group of active and talented core authors who has a great influence on the journal. But the number of core authors and the papers published by core authors need to be expanded. Key words: Periodicals; Bibliometrics; Statistics

Objective To investigate the current status and problems of continuing nursing of tuberculosis in China based on bibliometric analysis. Methods Literatures related to continuing care of tuberculosis published before 2017 were searched according to CNKI and Wanfang database. The NoteExpress software was used to decrease ridding unbalance. A database was established in Excel to analyse the annual number of published papers, authors' regions and institutions, the source of journals, citation, funding, and research contents. Results A total of 81 periodical literatures were included in this study. Articles regarding tuberculosis continuing care were firstly published in 2008 and increasingly published after 2011. The first authors came from 19 provinces, 2 municipality cities and 3 autonomous regions. Approximately 80.2% of the published papers were contributed from comprehensive hospitals. The top four periodicals with good published article volume included: Journal of Qilu Nursing, International Journal of Nursing, China Healthcare & Nutrition, Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing. Approximately 92.6% of the published papers had been cited less than 10 times. Only 8.6% studies were fund programs. Most of the studies were experimental and quasi-experimental studies. The evaluation parameters of clinical experiments were mainly compliance and functional indexes. The continuing nursing intervention included telephone follow-up, online information platforms, outpatient follow-up, and home visits. Conclusions Published literatures on continuing care of tuberculosis is widely increased in recent years. However, the problems such as unbalanced source distribution, limited citation, inadequate funding, and low quality of study design and methods need further development. Furthermore, the connection between hospital and community service should be enhanced to promote the hospital-community-family service mode.

The author writes this essay at the invitation of Taiwan Narrative Studies Association for an academic seminar, and it is also an issue that the author attempts to understand in addition to his researches and studies on ”The Initial Relation between China and Germany”. Especially in the special topics of ”Chinese and the Western culture exchanges”, most of the scholars emphasize on the study of ”How the Western understand China?” or ”What was the impression of China to the Western people?”. On the contrary, the author pays more attention to the issues such as: ”How the ancient Chinese understood the Western? Especially how they understood ”Germany” or ”German”? What was the Impression of ”German” or ”Germany” to ancient Chinese people? Regarding to these issues, the author further published an essay: ”The Missionary Work of Catholicism in China During Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Initial Relation between China and Germany”, and conducted a seminar ”Review and Outlook of the Researches and Studies on the History of Communications between China and Europe since the Past 70 Years” held by the Department of History, Fu Jen Catholic University in August 2000. Furthermore, the author has made an application to the National Science Council, Executive Yuan in 2002 for the subsidy of his studies on the special plan ”Views of ancient Chinese to Germany”. For this reason, the author further attempts to discuss the issues on whether the ancient Chinese books and sketches recorded in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties had any narration to the distant ”Germany” or ”German” from what was learned by the author from the abovementioned essay and the special study plan? If yes, how were they recorded or narrated? Moreover, the author attempts now to undertake further researches and study on the topics, such as: ”Whether such records and narrations had promoted the ancient Chinese literati officialdom to ”know” or ”understand” the ”Germany” or ”German?” and ”Whether such narration had affected and changed the narrow global view of the ancient Chinese who believed that the Imperial China was the ruler of the whole world?”

This paper aims to explore the first-ever historical critiques Shih-t'ung (Generality of Historiography, Liu Zhiji, 661-721, AD) in Chinese history, on how it elaborates, with 49 volumes in total, both internal and external, on the earliest chronicle historiography Shih-chi (The Records of the Grand Historian, Sima Qian, c.145~c.87 BC). Embarking on three respective aspects: historiography (outer level), the ”Three Qualifications for Historian” (core level), and historical thoughts (higher level), the study tries to investigate how Shih-t'ung had lashed on Shih-chi by calling into questions the structural style, structural and explanatory examples, and the science of history materials. In addition, an in-dept examination will be made on Sima Qian's academic talent, learning and knowledge. Finally, from the perspectives of Chinese historical philosophy of ”nature and human” and the historical thought of ”continuity and change”, the study further reveals that although the different approaches adopted by both authors originated from the distinct nature of the works itself, while in fact, the guiding thought behinds such discrepancy is coherent. It is through such analysis which has a great representative significance, that we may thus gain a clear grasp of the arguments proposed by Shih-t'ung and understand one of the aspects exhibited by ”the Studies of Shih-chi” prevailed in the Tang Dynasty.

”Xi Xiang Ji ”is the composition based on the legendary novel”Huei Chen Ji” by Chen Yuan in Tang Dynasty.After being modified by number of compositors, Shi-Fu Wang in Yuan Dynasty re-contractured, fertilized and finally turned the story out to be ”Xi Xiang Ji ”, a love story musical.Hundreds years after, ”Xi Xiang Ji ” was being played constantly on the stage, and printed copies were also published continually. The purpose of the thesis is to discuss the relationship between the image of Chinese Opera in Woodcut Prints, Chinese Opera performing and the literature based on ”Xi Xiang Ji ”Chinese Opera in Woodcut Prints in Ming Dynasty. The thesis will focus on the below points through the comparison of illustrations from different copies of ”Xi Xiang Ji ”: The causes of making artwork of ”Xi Xiang Ji ”and background. The phenomena appeared due to the existing numbers of Chinese Opera in Woodcut Prints during Ming Dynasty. What the author cares are: 1. The popularity of Chinese Opera in Ming Dynasty affected the publishing direction of publishing firm. 2. The hard competition of publishing business would push publishers to design different woodcut prints to attract readers.What was the relationship between the society, Chinese Opera and publishers? Did they affect each other? To classify the existing woodcut prints of ”Xi Xiang Ji ”systematically. There are many types and styles of woodcut prints of ”Xi Xiang Ji ”during the hundreds of years, which almost covered all the branches of ancient woodcut prints. The author sorts out the available woodcut prints of ”Xi Xiang Ji ” regarding to different dynasties and analyze them in order to find out the difference between, which may indicate the uniqueness of each version. To disclose the meanings of images through different ways. Among all the illustrations of ”Xi Xiang Ji ”, Chi-gi Ming’s 21 color paintings were chosen to decode the meaning of image. The paintings with outstanding printing, carving, composing and coloring work were on the peak of Chinese woodcut prints history. The thesis would explain the relationship between each painting and script by iconology from Erwin Panosky and try to find out the deeper meaning and value of them. To deeply discuss the relationship between woodcut Prints and Chinese Opera performing. Woodcut Prints is never independent from Chinese Opera. Although we can not directly prove the composing of woodcut prints is the re-appearing of stage performing, but the influence between each other can still be tracked through some clues from the images. The thesis would try to point out the footprints of stage performing and discuss the relationship between images and Chinese Opera performing, which may hopefully offer a new angle for Chinese Opera studying. In the past, the research of woodcut Prints stayed in collecting and sorting stage, or people only took them as an art which was analyzed from art appreciating.The research tries to put the woodcut prints of ”Xi Xiang Ji ” in Ming Dynasty under the frame of document publishing to go through the third level of image studying- the explanation of iconology and check the illustrations of ”Xi Xiang Ji ” from different points of view. Finally, the author would like to analyze the influence of Chinese Opera development in Ming Dynasty to woodcut prints making of ”Xi Xiang Ji ” and discuss the communication between printing copies, woodcut prints and performing. Hope the culture meaning and value of illustrations from ”Xi Xiang Ji ” can be deeply understood in order to indicate the key position of illustrations in Chinese woodcut prints and publishing history though the above study.
