Three Journal Similarity Metrics and Their Application to Biomedical Journals

In the present paper, we have created several novel journal similarity metrics. The MeSH odds ratio measures the topical similarity of any pair of journals, based on the major MeSH headings assigned to articles in MEDLINE. The second metric employed the 2009 Author-ity author name disambiguation dataset as a gold standard for estimating the author odds ratio. This gives a straightforward, intuitive answer to the question: Given two articles in PubMed that share the same author name (lastname, first initial), how does knowing only the identity of the journals (in which the articles were published) predict the relative likelihood that they are written by the same person vs. different persons? The article pair odds ratio detects the tendency of authors to publish repeatedly in the same journal, as well as in specific pairs of journals. The metrics can be applied not only to estimate the similarity of a pair of journals, but to provide novel profiles of individual journals as well. For example, for each journal, one can define the MeSH cloud as the number of other journals that are topically more similar to it than expected by chance, and the author cloud as the number of other journals that share more authors than expected by chance. These metrics for journal pairs and individual journals have been provided in the form of public datasets that can be readily studied and utilized by others.     

亚历山大钩端螺旋体L60株的历史与现状

我们于1964年从曼耗周边山林中感染的病人分离得一株称为L60株的钩端螺旋体,现已被国际上列为新基因种亚历山大钩端螺旋体(L.alexanderi)的型株(Type strain)。但它的血清变种名称国内外不一致(国内称曼耗、国外称曼耗3),国外还认为其来源不明。因此,撰写本文以解决这些问题。本文详细描述了L60株的发现、筛选过程。从其分类学研究历史,阐明其命名不一致的原因。鉴于史籍已载有曼耗血清变种(Serovar manhao,reference stran Manhao),L60不应再名为曼耗,而且曼耗3这一名称不符合国际规定,故有必要再予重新命名。我们建议将L60株重新命名为廷祚血清变种(Serovar Ting-zuo),用以纪念陈廷祚氏对我国钩端螺旋体和钩端螺旋体病研究的贡献。

20th century at a glance: the streptomycin story

The discovery of streptomycin is attributed to a microbiologist, Selman Waksman, Nobel Prize 1952, a paternity that was disputed by his collaborator Albert Schatz, who was the first author of the princeps article. Two pioneering clinical studies involved streptomycin, both of which have been widely used as reference works. The first one was English, under the name of Austin Bradford Hill. It inaugurated a randomization in medicine. The second trial was American, and carried out by the Veteran Administration. It made use for the first time of the "control group". The present article analyses the genesis of clinical trials and illustrates the recurrent difficulties encountered in their implementation.
