正Published bimonthly,Zoological Research is an interdisciplinary,peer-reviewed journal publishing original articles,review articles,research reports,and notes dealing with all aspects of zoology,with special interest in papers focusing on Genome Evolution and Genetic Diversity,DNA Barcoding,Developmental Biology,Physiology,Biochemistry,Immunology,Neuroscience,Animal Ecology and Ethology,and especially Animal Models of Human Diseases.Starting with Volume 35,Zoological Research will be publishing scientific articles and reviews exclusively in English.To assist you in formatting your articles correctly for submission to ZR,please use this attached guide.     

Instructions for the EndNote Reference Style File of Zoological Research

正EndNote is a reference management software package produced by Thomson Reuters used to manage bibliographies and references in research essays and articles.EndNote works by grouping citations intolibrarieswith the file extension*.enl and a corresponding*.data folder.Aside from the library function,the program is most widely used to manage references in research articles.There are over 2,000 journal styles in EndNote that help researchers format their in-text citations and bibliographic references.We are happy to announce that starting with Volume 35,there is now an EndNote style for Zoological Research.

痛风的相关研究

痛风是一种由高尿酸血症引起的关节炎类型。研究其流行病学,使临床对高尿酸血症及痛风性关节炎的病理生理学有了新的见解。研究表明,遗传倾向的作用越来越明显。痛风的临床表现分为无症状高尿酸血症,急性痛风性关节炎,发作间期和慢性痛风性关节炎。痛风的诊断基于实验室和放射学特征,其中偏振光显微镜发现滑液中针状或杆状的单钠尿酸盐晶体是诊断的金标准。其成像方法主要有常规放射成像、超声检查、双能CT。其中超声和双能CT应用的进步使该领域的诊断、分期、随访和临床研究有了显著的提高。深入了解痛风的发病机制,不断优化诊断方式,有助于提高痛风的临床诊疗水平。痛风的管理一直是医学史上对医学技能的挑战,当前需要不断深入了解痛风的发病机制,不断优化诊断方式,以寻求不同寻常的治疗方案。在秋水仙碱、泼尼松、别嘌醇、非布司他、雷西纳德等药物的临床应用取得不错效果的同时,存在的一些不良反应值得重视。随着精准医疗时代的到来,相信痛风的个体化诊疗有着更加乐观的未来。
