健康網(wǎng)訊: 4) 討論部分 總的要求：The author should tell the reader what the results mean by placing them in the context of previous published studies of the problem, 即：與先有研究相比，本研究有何意義。 具體要求： A． 簡要說明研究背景（background） B． 簡要介紹總的發(fā)現(xiàn)（general findings）； C． 介紹具體要點（introduction of points） D． 與現(xiàn)有發(fā)現(xiàn)（若有）進行比較（comparison in the context of other studies） E． 意義（suggested meaning） F． 結論（conclusion） G． 前瞻研究（future studies） 結論往往是論文中最長也是最難寫的部分，主要原因是作者要對研究結果和發(fā)現(xiàn)進行分析、推斷、演繹和推理，要求作者具有很強邏輯思維能力和英語文字組織能力。此外，這部分時態(tài)比較復雜，要分清實驗過程和結果（過去時）與分析意見（確定：現(xiàn)在時；不確定或假設：過去時）的區(qū)別；他人研究結果（過去時或現(xiàn)在完成時）與本研究結果（過去時）的區(qū)別；普遍適用的結論（現(xiàn)在時）與只適用本研究的結論（過去時）的其別等。因此，對于however, may, might, could, would, possibly, probably, be likely to 等詞（組）的使用以及we believe (think / consider) that, to our knowledge, in our experience (practice) 等插入語的使用就顯得格外重要。 示例： Parenteral nutrition is being used with increasing frequency as a primary source of caloric support in adult and pediatric patients with gastrointestinal problems. Numerous complications have been associated with the administration of TPN, including a significantly increased incidence of gallbladder disease [3-5,7]. The data here suggest that cholecystectomy is often required for the management of symptomatic gallbladder disease in this group of patients, and is associated with significant risks.[說明研究背景，包括意義] Of the 35 patients who required cholecystectomy for TPN-induced gallbladder disease, operative morbidity and mortality were 54 percent and 11 percent, respectively. Maingot [8] has stated that cholecystectomy “is one of the simplest and safest of the abdominal operations, and is associated with a low operative mortality rate (about 0.5 percent). A review of the pediatric literature suggests that when cholecystectomy is performed in children, the operative morbidity is less than 10 percent, and the mortality is less than 1 percent. [8,9] Glenn [11] has reported a mortality rate of less than 0.1 percent in over 5,000 patients under the age of 50 years who underwent cholecystectomy. The morbidity and mortality observed in our group of receiving long-term TPN, therefore, were far in excess of what would be expected for a population of patients whose mean age was 29 years. [提出本研究主要發(fā)現(xiàn)并將其與其他研究發(fā)現(xiàn)相比較] Our data suggest that are specific factors unique to patients who require long-term TPN that contribute to the increased mortality and morbidity associated with cholecystectomy in this select group.[以下，作者用較大篇幅分析了這類病人死亡率和并發(fā)癥增高的臨床、實驗室和手術等方面的原因，原文從略] Based on the results of our studies, we believe that early cholecystectomy is indicated in patients with TPN-induced gallbladder disease. Obviously, all patients with symptomatic disease should undergo cholecystectomy unless there specific medical contraindications. These operations should be performed in a timely, elective fashion because delay may result in the need for urgent surgery and thereby, increase an already high risk. Although recent studies have suggested that cholecystectomy may not be warranted in otherwise healthy patients with asymptomatic gallbladder disease [20], we believe that this axiom does not apply to patients with TPN-induced gallbladder disease. Out data suggest that the natural history of gallbladder disease in patients receiving TPN is considerably different from that of their counterparts not receiving TPN. Based on our findings, we recommend elective cholecystectomy in patients receiving TPN when gallstones first appear. Furthermore, cholecystectomy should be considered, especially in children without stones who are undergoing laparotomy for other reasons. [從對結果的分析及與其他研究的比較得出結論性意見，這是討論部分最重要的內容 ] Whether TPN-induced gallstones can be prevented through daily stimulated gallbladder emptying awaits the results of further studies.
