Achieve Research Excellence through Improvement of Science Assessment System

With the support of the Consultation and Evaluation Committee of the Academic Divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS),a task force headed by CAS Member FANG Rongxiang recently conducted a project entitled Science Value Assessment in an Increasingly Globalized World.Based on the study,the researchers presented a report on the improvement of China’s science assessment system.The following paragraphs present the major ideas of this report.

Basic research and technical improvement on minimally invasive ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Objective To explore a new approach for improving therapeutic effects and minimizing complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunt(VPS) . Methods The lengthof and lower edge of the greater omentum were measured and analyzed in 28 autopsies (16 adults and 12 children) and laparoscopic surgeries. 95 cases of hydrocephalus treated by MIVPS(minimally invasive ventriculoperitoneal shunt) were retrospectively reviewed. The depth and positions

人乳头瘤病毒疫苗相关研究进展

使用人乳头瘤病毒(human papilloma virus,HPV)疫苗是提供针对HPV感染、尖锐湿疣和宫颈癌防护的一项有效策略。世界卫生组织在《加速消除宫颈癌全球战略》中指出,到2030年实现90%的女性在15岁前完成HPV疫苗接种的目标,因此,HPV疫苗相关研究是目前较为热点的问题。文章从HPV疫苗种类、免疫程序、疫苗效果、对免疫低下和已感染女性的保护作用、不良反应、认知和接种意愿以及卫生经济学分析等方面进行综述,介绍目前HPV疫苗的相关研究进展,以期为今后进一步研究提供参考和思路。
