They contain indicative information on purpose, scope, or methodology in the original documents, but mention little or nothing about details of results, conclusions or recommendations. The advantages of a descriptive abstract are that it is easy to write and is usually short; a serious disadvantage is that it contains little information. 一般只用两三句话概括论文或报道的主题,而不涉及具体的数据和结论,通常用于综述、会议报告等。Samples of descriptive abstracts:例一: 心得宁引起的胸膜纤维化 我们报道两例患者服用心得宁后继发胸膜纤维化Pleural Fibrosis After Practolol TherapyWe describe two patients who developed pleural fibrosis after treatment with practolol.例二:论原发性胃肠道淋巴瘤本文综述了治疗原发性胃肠道淋巴瘤的主要经验,并就该病的临床、病理及治疗等问题进行了讨论。Primary Lymphomas of the Gastrointestinal TractAn institutional experience with primary gastrointestinal lymphoma (PGL) is reviewed. The clinical, pathologic, and therapeutic aspects of PGL are discussed.2.资料性(报道性)摘要 Informative AbstractsThe informative abstracts give the gist, or essence, of a piece of writing: they include the most significant material in the original writing. It is the original document in miniature. Important information on purpose, scope and method of the research are included in this type of abstracts. They also contain key results, conclusions, or recommendations. The advantage of an informative abstracts is that it provides much more information than does a descriptive abstract. But it is usually longer than the descriptive type.概括论文的主要信息,一般阐明研究的问题和关键的研究成果, 其特点是全面、简要地概括论文的目的、方法、主要数据和结论。通常,阅读这种摘要可以部分取代阅读全文。Malignant Hypertension and Cigarette Smoking The smoking habit of 48 patients with malignant hypertension was compared with that of 92 consecutive patients with non- malignant hypertension. Thirty-three of the patients with malignant and 34 of the patients with non-malignant hypertension were smokers when first diagnosed, the difference were considered separately. Results suggest that malignant hypertension is yet another disease related to cigarette smoking.Informative-Indicative Abstracts以报道性文摘的形式表述一次文献中信息价值较高的部分,而以指示性文摘的形式表述其余部分的文摘。字数 200词左右为宜Traditional Abstract 传统式摘要 IMRADIntroduction 引言 Materials and Methods 材料与方法 Results 结果Discussion 讨论全结构式摘要(Full-structured Abstract) 1974年4月,加拿大McMaster 大学医学中心的Dr R Brian Haynes首先提出建立临床研究论文的结构式摘要。在 Dr Edward J Huth创导下,美国内科学记事(Annuals of Internal Medicine)在国际上率先采用了全结构式(full-structured)摘要。 1目的(Objective):说明论文要解决的问题2设计(Design):说明研究的基本设计,包括的研究性质3地点(Setting):说明进行研究的地点和研究机构的等级4对象(Patients, participants or subjects):说明参加并完成研究的病人或受试者的性质、数量及挑选方法5处理(Interventions):说明确切的治疗或处理方法6主要测定项目(Main outcome measures):说明为评定研究结果而进行的主要测定项目7结果(Results):说明主要客观结果8 结论(Conclusion):说明主要结论,包括直接临床应用意义与非结构式摘要相比,。全结构式摘要观点更明确(more explicitness),信息量更大(more information),差错更少(fewer errors).但其缺点也是显而易见的,即繁琐、重复、篇幅过长, 而且不是所有研究都能按以上8个要素分类的。于是更多的杂志扬长避短,采用半结构式摘要(semi-structured)半结构式摘要(Semi-structured Abstract)半结构式摘要也称为四要素摘要,包括:目的(objective/purpose/aim)、方法(methods)、结果(results)结论(conclusion)目前国内许多杂志正从非结构式摘要向半结构式摘要过度。Does smoking predispose to peptic ulcer relapse after eradication of Helicobacter pylori?Chan F.k.l. Department of Medicine, Prince of Wales Hospital,.Objective: To investigate whether smoking would increase ulcer recurrence afterMethods: A total of 287 patients with gastric ulcers Results: Of the 83 smokers,3 had ulcer recurrence,Conclusions: Cigarette smoking did not increase the recurrence of peptic ulcers after eradication of H. Pylori.About the tense 1)目的部分:背景介绍:一般现在时或现在完成时目的说明:一般现在时/现在完成时,或一般过去时2)材料、方法和结果部分:除指示性说明外,一律用一般过去时。过去完成时只用于说明研究前的情况或研究中某一点时间之前发生的情况.3)结论部分:凡陈述研究的材料、方法和结果时,一律用过去时;分析结果或发现的原因时,或者提出结论性意见时,如果作者认为具有普遍意义,可用现在时;如果作者认为自己的分析或结论只限于本研究范围或者仅是一种可能性,则用一般过去时为好。Length of Abstracts Keep abstracts of most papers and portions of monographs to fewer than 250 words, abstracts of shorter papers to fewer than 100 words, and those of reports and longer theses to fewer than 500 words. Rarely does an abstract exceed one page. Write most abstracts in a single paragraph, except those for long documents.五、摘要写作的注意事项1、要概括研究的要点2、要尽可能简洁3、要符合逻辑、重点突出4、要结构合理,用完整句表述5、要行文流畅第二章 标题(title)一、标题二、副标题三、英、汉标题特点的比较四、冠词的省略五、标题中常用名词的搭配 六、标题中常用介词的搭配 七、几种常用的标题句式一、标题 Title (一)名词性标题(二)完整句标题(三)疑问句(一)名词性标题标题一般由一个名词或若干并列的名词,加上必要的修饰语构成,一般没有谓语成分Laboratory diagnosis of SARSSARS的实验室诊断Haemorrhagic cholecystitis出血性胆囊炎Alcohol use, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, and hypertension饮酒、心肌梗塞、心源性猝死及高血压病Surgery for Infective Endocarditis感染性心内膜炎的外科治疗Left Ventricular Function Before and Following Surgical Treatment of Mitral Valve Disease二尖瓣病变手术前后左心室的功能变化感染性心内膜炎的外科治疗(1)只在标题开头的第一个单词的首字母大学,收尾句不用句号(2)标题中每个词的首字母都大写,只有某些虚词才小写,句尾不用句号。某些需要小写的虚词,指的是冠词、3个字母以内的连词和介词,4个字母以上的,如with, from, during , after, against, during ,between 仍需要大写。词组型标题词组型标题是由一个或数个单词或词组单独地、并列地或按偏正关系排列组成. 按其组成关系又可分为以下三类 单一概念标题多概念并列标题 多概念偏正标题单一概念标题,是由一个不可再细分的、具有完整概念的单词或词组构成. 由于这些单词或词组是文章所讨论的唯一对象,即文章标题的中心词.因此,英译标题时可以直接对译. 创伤性血胆症 Traumatic hemobilia中华肝胆外科杂志, 2004, 10(7);颅底软骨肉瘤 Chondrosarcoma of the skull base中华神经外科杂志, 2003, 19(6).多概念并列标题,由两个或两个以上具有独立完整概念的词组并列组成. 由于词或词组之间没有说明或被说明、修饰或被修饰的关系,而是无主次的并列关系. 因此,英译标题时可按表达各个概念的词或词组的先后顺序译出. 例如:催乳素和免疫系统Prolactin and immune system中华内分泌代谢杂志, 2004, 20(6);嗜铬细胞瘤病人的临床特点及围术期麻醉管理Clinical features of pheochromocytoma and anesthetic management during perioperative period中华医学杂志, 2002, 82(8).多概念偏正标题,由多个具有独立、完整概念的词或词组构成. 而其中有一个受其它词或词组所修饰、限制或说明. 这个被修饰、限制或说明的词或词组就是文章标题的中心词,它位于标题末,与修饰、限制或说明它的词构成偏正关系. 多概念偏正标题是科技论文标题中最常见的一种,它又可分为并列偏正结构标题和递进偏正结构标题.并列偏正结构标题是以联合词组充当标题中心词的定语. 英译标题时,可按顺序译出各并列成分,并置于中心词之后. 例如:泮托拉唑三联与奥美拉唑三联疗法根除幽门螺杆菌的对比研究Comparison of pantoprazole and omeprazole- based triple therapy regimens in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection中华医学杂志, 2002, 82(18) 递进偏正结构标题以偏正词组充当标题的中心词. 定语中的各组成部分总是前一个修饰后一个,层层相叠,最后作为一个整体来限定代表标题重心概念的中心词. 英译标题时,代表标题重心的中心词置于题首,定语中的各组成部分,在多数情况下,按由小到大,由近到远的次序排列. 例如:抑郁症患者红细胞儿茶酚氧位甲基转移酶活性的研究The erythrocytes catechol O methyl transferase activity in patients with depression中华精神科杂志, 2005, 38(3);(二)完整句标题医学论文标题一般都是名词性标题。有的医学杂志,如美国的 Journal of the National Cancer Institute 甚至规定标题不得写成完整的句子。但是,在其他英美医学杂志中,仍可以看到标题为完整句,只是句尾没有句号。如: Dietary cholesterol is co-carcinogenic for human colon cancer胆固醇饮食- 人类结肠癌的协同致癌因素Cytochrome b is present in neutrophils from patients with chronic granulomatous disease存在于慢性肉芽杂红患者嗜中性白细胞里的细胞色素把b(三)疑问句标题也可以是疑问句。疑问句标题尾一般有疑问号,如有疑问副词或疑问代词,也可不用疑问句。 如:Home or hospital births?在家分娩还是住院分娩?Genetic damage form diagnostic radiation ?诊断性放射检查能否导致遗传性损害?What to look for rib fractures and how肋骨骨折时应检查什么及如何检查?Is treatment of borderline hypertension good or bad?治疗临界型高血压是利是弊?Are potassium supplements for the elderly necessary?中年以上的患者是否比须补钾?What does exercise mean for the menstrual cycle?锻炼对月经周期有什么影响?二、副标题副标题往往用于突出论文某一方面的内容,如病例数、研究方法等。正、副标题可用不同字体字号加以区别,也可用冒号隔开(一)突出病例数Abdominal pain in the emergency room: A study of 176 consecutive cases腹痛急诊176 连续收治的病例研究Surgical treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts: Analysis of 119 cases 假性胰腺囊肿手术治疗 119例分析(二)突出研究方法Diffuse pulmonary infiltrates in immunosuppressed patients: Prospective study of 80 casesHeparin therapy: A randomized prospective studyDiabetes after infectious hepatitis: A follow-up study免疫抑制患者弥漫性肺浸润前瞻性研究80例肝素疗法前瞻性随机研究传染性肝炎继发糖尿病患者随访调查(三)突出重点内容Diabetes mellitus: New diagnostic criteria Digitalis therapy in practice : Correlation between clinical evaluation and plasma digoxin concentration Aorto-arteritis: Chest X-ray appearance and its clinical significance糖尿病诊断的新标准洋地黄疗法的实际应用地高辛血浆浓度与临床疗效的关系大动脉炎胸部X线表现及其临床意义(四)表示同位关系哌唑嗪一种新的治疗高血压的血管扩张剂乳腺癌组织中的癌胚抗原一种有用的预后指标Prazodine: A new vasodilator used for treatment of hypertension Carcinoembryonic antigen in breast-cancer tissue: A useful prognostic indicator(五)提出疑问句Drug regulation: Evolution or revolution?Chronic abdominal pain: A surgical or psychiatric symptom?药物调节:进化还是革命?慢性腹痛是手术症状还是精神症状?(六)表示长篇连载论文各分篇的主题Physical and chemical studies of human blood serum:A study of normal subjects Physical and chemical studies of human blood serum:II .

1.描述性摘要
Descriptive Abstract/ Indicative Abstract
The descriptive abstracts tell what topics are taken up in the paper. They contain indicative information on purpose, scope, or methodology in the original documents, but mention little or nothing about details of results, conclusions or recommendations. The advantages of a descriptive abstract are that it is easy to write and is usually short; a serious disadvantage is that it contains little information.
一般只用两三句话概括论文或报道的主题,而不涉及具体的数据和结论,通常用于综述、会议报告等。
Samples of descriptive abstracts:
例一:
心得宁引起的胸膜纤维化
我们报道两例患者服用心得宁后继发胸膜纤维化
Pleural Fibrosis After Practolol Therapy
We describe two patients who developed pleural fibrosis after treatment with practolol.
例二:
论原发性胃肠道淋巴瘤
本文综述了治疗原发性胃肠道淋巴瘤的主要经验,并就该病的临床、病理及治疗等问题进行了讨论。
Primary Lymphomas of the Gastrointestinal Tract
An institutional experience with primary gastrointestinal lymphoma (PGL) is reviewed. The clinical, pathologic, and therapeutic aspects of PGL are discussed.
2.资料性(报道性)摘要
Informative Abstracts
The informative abstracts give the gist, or essence, of a piece of writing: they include the most significant material in the original writing. It is the original document in miniature. Important information on purpose, scope and method of the research are included in this type of abstracts. They also contain key results, conclusions, or recommendations. The advantage of an informative abstracts is that it provides much more information than does a descriptive abstract. But it is usually longer than the descriptive type.
概括论文的主要信息,一般阐明研究的问题和关键的研究成果, 其特点是全面、简要地概括论文的目的、方法、主要数据和结论。通常,阅读这种摘要可以部分取代阅读全文。

全结构式摘要(Full-structured Abstract)
1974年4月,加拿大McMaster 大学医学中心的Dr R Brian Haynes首先提出建立临床研究论文的结构式摘要。
在 Dr Edward J Huth创导下,美国《内科学记事》(Annuals of Internal Medicine)在国际上率先采用了全结构式(full-structured)摘要。
1.目的(Objective):说明论文要解决的问题
2.设计(Design):说明研究的基本设计,包括的研究性质
3.地点(Setting):说明进行研究的地点和研究机构的等级
4.对象(Patients, participants or subjects):说明参加并完成研究的病人或受试者的性质、数量及挑选方法
5.处理(Interventions):说明确切的治疗或处理方法
6.主要测定项目(Main outcome measures):说明为评定研究结果而进行的主要测定项目
7.结果(Results):说明主要客观结果
8 .结论(Conclusion):说明主要结论,包括直接临床应用意义与非结构式摘要相比,。
全结构式摘要观点更明确(more explicitness),信息量更大(more information),差错更少(fewer errors).
但其缺点也是显而易见的,即繁琐、重复、篇幅过长, 而且不是所有研究都能按以上8个要素分类的。于是更多的杂志扬长避短,采用半结构式摘要(semi-structured)
半结构式摘要(Semi-structured Abstract)
半结构式摘要也称为四要素摘要,包括:
目的(objective/purpose/aim)、
方法(methods)、
结果(results)
结论(conclusion)
目前国内许多杂志正从非结构式摘要向半结构式摘要过度。
Does smoking predispose to peptic ulcer relapse after eradication of Helicobacter pylori?
Chan F.k.l. –Department of Medicine, Prince of Wales Hospital,..
Objective: To investigate whether smoking would increase ulcer recurrence after…
Methods: A total of 287 patients with gastric ulcers …
Results: Of the 83 smokers,3 had ulcer recurrence,
Conclusions: Cigarette smoking did not increase the recurrence of peptic ulcers after eradication of H. Pylori.
About the tense
1)目的部分:背景介绍:一般现在时或现在完成时目的说明:一般现在时/现在完成时,或一般过去时
2)材料、方法和结果部分:除指示性说明外,一律用一般过去时。过去完成时只用于说明研究前的情况或研究中某一点时间之前发生的情况.
3)结论部分:凡陈述研究的材料、方法和结果时,一律用过去时;分析结果或发现的原因时,或者提出结论性意见时,如果作者认为具有普遍意义,可用现在时;如果作者认为自己的分析或结论只限于本研究范围或者仅是一种可能性,则用一般过去时为好。
Length of Abstracts
Keep abstracts of most papers and portions of monographs to fewer than 250 words, abstracts of shorter papers to fewer than 100 words, and those of reports and longer theses to fewer than 500 words. Rarely does an abstract exceed one page. Write most abstracts in a single paragraph, except those for long documents.
五、摘要写作的注意事项
1、要概括研究的要点
2、要尽可能简洁
3、要符合逻辑、重点突出
4、要结构合理,用完整句表述
5、要行文流畅
第二章 标题(title)
一、标题二、副标题三、英、汉标题特点的比较
四、冠词的省略五、标题中常用名词的搭配
六、标题中常用介词的搭配 七、几种常用的标题句式
一、标题 Title
(一)名词性标题(二)完整句标题(三)疑问句
(一)名词性标题
标题一般由一个名词或若干并列的名词,加上必要的修饰语构成,一般没有谓语成分
Laboratory diagnosis of SARS
SARS的实验室诊断
Haemorrhagic cholecystitis
出血性胆囊炎
Alcohol use, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, and hypertension
饮酒、心肌梗塞、心源性猝死及高血压病
Surgery for Infective Endocarditis
感染性心内膜炎的外科治疗
Left Ventricular Function Before and Following Surgical Treatment of Mitral Valve Disease
二尖瓣病变手术前后左心室的功能变化
感染性心内膜炎的外科治疗
(1)只在标题开头的第一个单词的首字母大学,收尾句不用句号
(2)标题中每个词的首字母都大写,只有某些虚词才小写,句尾不用句号。某些需要小写的虚词,指的是冠词、3个字母以内的连词和介词,4个字母以上的,如with, from, during , after, against, during ,between 仍需要大写。
词组型标题词组型标题是由一个或数个单词或词组单独地、并列地或按偏正关系排列组成. 按其组成关系又可分为以下三类
①单一概念标题②多概念并列标题 ③多概念偏正标题
①单一概念标题,是由一个不可再细分的、具有完整概念的单词或词组构成. 由于这些单词或词组是文章所讨论的唯一对象,即文章标题的中心词.因此,英译标题时可以直接对译.
创伤性血胆症 Traumatic hemobilia[中华肝胆外科杂志, 2004, 10(7)];颅底软骨肉瘤
Chondrosarcoma of the skull base[中华神经外科杂志, 2003, 19(6)].
②多概念并列标题,由两个或两个以上具有独立完整概念的词组并列组成. 由于词或词组之间没有说明或被说明、修饰或被修饰的关系,而是无主次的并列关系. 因此,英译标题时可按表达各个概念的词或词组的先后顺序译出.
例如:催乳素和免疫系统Prolactin and immune system[中华内分泌代谢杂志, 2004, 20(6)];
嗜铬细胞瘤病人的临床特点及围术期麻醉管理Clinical features of pheochromocytoma and anesthetic management during perioperative period[中华医学杂志, 2002, 82(8)].
③多概念偏正标题,由多个具有独立、完整概念的词或词组构成. 而其中有一个受其它词或词组所修饰、限制或说明. 这个被修饰、限制或说明的词或词组就是文章标题的中心词,它位于标题末,与修饰、限制或说明它的词构成偏正关系.
多概念偏正标题是科技论文标题中最常见的一种,它又可分为并列偏正结构标题和递进偏正结构标题.
并列偏正结构标题是以联合词组充当标题中心词的定语. 英译标题时,可按顺序译出各并列成分,并置于中心词之后.
例如:泮托拉唑三联与奥美拉唑三联疗法根除幽门螺杆菌的对比研究
Comparison of pantoprazole and omeprazole- based triple therapy regimens in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection[中华医学杂志, 2002, 82(18)]
递进偏正结构标题以偏正词组充当标题的中心词. 定语中的各组成部分总是前一个修饰后一个,层层相叠,最后作为一个整体来限定代表标题重心概念的中心词. 英译标题时,代表标题重心的中心词置于题首,定语中的各组成部分,在多数情况下,按由小到大,由近到远的次序排列.
例如:抑郁症患者红细胞儿茶酚氧位甲基转移酶活性的研究
The erythrocytes catechol O methyl transferase activity in patients with depression[中华精神科杂志, 2005, 38(3)];
(二)完整句标题
医学论文标题一般都是名词性标题。有的医学杂志,如美国的 Journal of the National Cancer Institute 甚至规定标题不得写成完整的句子。但是,在其他英美医学杂志中,仍可以看到标题为完整句,只是句尾没有句号。如:
Dietary cholesterol is co-carcinogenic for human colon cancer
胆固醇饮食--- 人类结肠癌的协同致癌因素
Cytochrome b is present in neutrophils from patients with chronic granulomatous disease
存在于慢性肉芽杂红患者嗜中性白细胞里的细胞色素把b
(三)疑问句
标题也可以是疑问句。疑问句标题尾一般有疑问号,如有疑问副词或疑问代词,也可不用疑问句。 如:Home or hospital births?
在家分娩还是住院分娩?
Genetic damage form diagnostic radiation ?
诊断性放射检查能否导致遗传性损害?
What to look for rib fractures and how
肋骨骨折时应检查什么及如何检查?
Is treatment of borderline hypertension good or bad?
治疗临界型高血压是利是弊?
Are potassium supplements for the elderly necessary?
中年以上的患者是否比须补钾?
What does exercise mean for the menstrual cycle?
锻炼对月经周期有什么影响?
二、副标题
副标题往往用于突出论文某一方面的内容,如病例数、研究方法等。
正、副标题可用不同字体字号加以区别,也可用冒号隔开
(一)突出病例数
