MESH主题词表中的词汇

The MeSH Translation Table contains:

• MeSH terms  MESH主题词
• The See-Reference mappings (also known as entry terms) for MeSH terms  MESH主题词的参照词（款目词）
• MeSH Subheadings  MESH副主题词
• Publication Types   出版类型词汇
• Pharmacologic action terms  药理作用词汇
• Terms derived from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) that have equivalent synonyms or lexical variants in English  统一医学语言系统（UMLS)中的词汇
• Supplementary concept (substance) names and their synonyms.  补充概念（化学物质词汇）及其同义词

If a match is found in this translation table, the term will be searched as MeSH (that includes the MeSH term and any specific terms indented under that term in the MeSH hierarchy), and in all fields.

For example, if you enter child rearing in the search box, PubMed will translate this search to: "child rearing"[MeSH Terms] OR ("child"[All Fields] AND "rearing"[All Fields]) OR "child rearing"[All Fields]

If you enter a MeSH Term that is also a Pharmacologic Action PubMed will search the term as [MeSH Terms], [Pharmacologic Action], and [All Fields].

If you enter an entry term for a MeSH term the translation will also include an all fields search for the MeSH term associated with the entry term. For example, a search for odontalgia will translate to: "toothache"[MeSH Terms] OR "toothache"[All Fields] OR "odontalgia"[All Fields] because Odontalgia is an entry term for the MeSH term toothache.

Substance name mappings do not include a mapping for individual terms in a phrase, e.g., IL-22 will not include IL[All Fields AND 22[All Fields].

MeSH term mappings that include a standalone number or single character do not include a mapping for individual terms in a phrase, e.g., Protein C will not include Protein[All Fields] or C[All Fields].

期刊相关信息

The Journals translation table contains the:

• full journal title
• title abbreviation
• ISSN number.

These will automatically map to the journal abbreviation that is used to search journals in PubMed and in all fields. For example, a search for endocrine pathology will translate to: "Endocr Pathol"[Journal] OR ("endocrine"[All Fields] AND "pathology"[All Fields]) OR "endocrine pathology"[All Fields]

作者全称

The full author translation table includes full author names for articles published from 2002 forward, if available. Enter a full author name in natural or inverted order, e.g., julia s wong or wong julia s.

More information about full author searching:

• A comma following the last name for searching is optional. For some names, however, it is necessary to distinguish which name is the last name by using the comma following the last name, e.g., james, ryan.
• Omit periods after initials and put all suffixes at the end, e.g., vollmer charles jr
• Initials and suffixes are not required, if you include a middle initial or suffix, you will only retrieve citations for articles that were published using the middle initial or suffix.
• To distinguish author initials that may match a full author name use the [fau] search tag, e.g., peterson do[fau].

If the term is not found in the above tables, except for Full Author, and is not a single term, the full investigator table is consulted for a match. The full investigator (collaborator) translation table includes full names, if available. Enter a full investigator name in natural or inverted order, e.g., harry janes or janes harry.

作者索引

If the term is not found in the above tables, except for Full Author or Full Investigator, and is not a single term, PubMed checks the author index for a match. PubMed automatically truncates a search for an author's name to account for varying initials, e.g., o'brien j retrieves o'brien ja, o'brien jb, o'brien jc jr, as well as o'brien j.

When combining multiple authors, to avoid a match with full author names, include initials or use the [au] search tag, e.g., ryan[au] james[au]. Author names comprised of only stopwords, e.g., as a, are not searched as authors if they are part of phrase, chemical burn as a danger, unless the search only includes the author name, e.g., as a.

If the term is not found in the above tables, except for Full Author, Author, or Full Investigator, and is not a single term, PubMed checks the investigator index for a match.

没有匹配的信息怎么办？

PubMed breaks apart the phrase and repeats the above automatic term mapping process until a match is found. PubMed ignores stopwords in searches.

If there is no match, the individual terms will be combined (ANDed) together and searched in all fields.
