They should state the purpose of the study or investigation, basic procedures, main findings (give specific data and their statistical significance), and the conclusions. Do not cite references in the abstract. Provide 3-8 key words that capture the main topics of the article below the abstract. Use terms from the medical subject headings (MeSH) list of MEDLINE/PubMed, and the traditional Chinese medical subject headings.
Text
Text should be Word text document in Times New Roman font, single spaced, with page numbers. The text is usually divided into sections with typical main headings such as Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. For the format details, authors can refer to latest articles published in 2012.
Tables
Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Limit tables to those that adequately and concisely present findings without redundancy. Do not use vertical lines between columns. Use horizontal lines above and below the column headings and at the bottom of the table only.
Number tables consecutively in accordance with their first citation in the text using Arabic numerals and supply a brief descriptive title for each table. Identify statistical measures of variations, such as standard deviation and standard error of the mean. Identify statistical significance by superscripts in front of the probabilities (P), as in: a P>0.05, b P<0.05, c P<0.01 vs A. Define all abbreviations used in the table in footnotes to the table.
Figures and Legends
Submit publication quality figures (graphs, charts, photographs, and illustrations) in TIF file format with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Do not embed figures in word, create a separate figure file together with a reference set of annotated versions, and send it as an attachment.

The graphs and charts imported into the word-processing program from spreadsheet programs (e.g., Microsoft Excel) should be left in its original format and not converted to graphic elements, so that we can modify or redraw it to meet our specifications for publication when pertinent.
Number all figures consecutively in the text. Figures should be professionally drawn or photographed. Titles and detailed explanations should be given in the figure legend. Abbreviations must be explained. Figures with multiple parts should be labeled and referred to as A, B, C, etc. For photomicrographs, include the type of specimen, original magnification or a scale bar, and stain should be identified. For gross pathology specimens, label any rulers with unit of measure.
Statistical Methods and Units of Measurement
Statistical methods should be described in sufficient detail to assess the appropriateness of the statistical analysis used. Statistical terms, abbreviations, and symbols must be defined, and computer software must be specified. Exact P values should be provided, unless P<0•0001.
Units of measurement should be reported in terms of International System of Units (SI). Measurement of length, height, weight and volume should be written in metric units (meter, kilogram, or liter) or their decimal multiples.
References
Cite references in the text sequentially in the Vancouver numbering style, as a superscripted number after any punctuation mark. For example: DZP has an anti-tumor effect in clinical observation14 and experimental research.15 Note: For the continuous references, if three or more, just mark the first and last ones with hyphen, while only two, separated by a comma. References should be numbered sequentially in the order in which they are first cited in the text, under half width punctuation input mode.
