这里再次把主编写的邀请信重新贴这里,看来当时该杂志发行时的判断是正确的,这确实一个非常值得关注和重视的研究领域。祝愿《医学气体杂志》越来越成功,为医学气体研究的交流提供最理想的平台。
医疗气体是一个大家族,包括氧气,氢气,一氧化碳,二氧化碳,氮气,氙气,硫化氢,一氧化二氮,二硫化碳,氩气,氦气等气体。这些医疗气体中用于临床和基础医学科学的研究,包括麻醉、高压氧医学、潜水医学、内科、急诊、外科,涉及生理学、药理学、生物化学、微生物学、神经科学等理科各学科。不幸的是,过去没有一个独立的期刊,致力于医用气体的研究、转化和临床科学研究,尤其是在神经生物学和神经科学领域,更遑论其他各种医疗领域。因此,我很高兴名为“医用气体研究”在此启动给你介绍这份新杂志。
“医用气体研究”的目的是发表在生物学的基础、转化和临床研究,尤其是神经生物学,和他们在各种疾病的应用方法。由于医用气体本身的独特性,医用气体研究将成为一个信息交流平台,帮助医疗气体领域的教育和技术进步。我们希望强调新方法来帮助将基本医疗气体研究的科学发现到预防,评估,治疗等层次,提高医疗气体临床应用的发展。医用气体的研究将是一个开放存取期刊,所有文章将是在线发表,并全部免费获取。这种开放式的发表方式,使作者的作品提供给读者,而不受到图书预算的限制,读者不需任何费用。这确保了比任何基于订阅的杂志印刷版更容易让作者的工作传播给尽可能多的读者。开放式访问可能会导致更高的下载和引用率。此外,作者拥有版权,对自己的工作,作者可以授予任何人有权复制和传播。此外,所有医用气体研究发表的文章都将被归档在PubMed Central和其他可自由访问的全文数据库。
医用气体研究的另一个主要优势是,我们拥有专注于医用气体的研究与8个有经验的研究人员,担任副主编。马克·科伯恩博士和Carsten Hobohm是经验丰富的临床医生。太田成男和孙学军教授在氢气和高压氧的研究领域是世界领先的研究人员,对这本杂志的基础研究方面,将发挥基础性作用。哈佛医学院Aneesh阿密特博士,在神经科学的基础、转化和临床试验方面有丰富经验。笃纪中尾博士的研究兴趣超越了传统的医疗领域,射击医疗气体各个方向。德雷克塞尔大学医学院麻醉科主任Mychaskiw博士是目前的水下高气压学会杂志的首席主编,将有助于和其他医疗气体相关杂志,特别是在麻醉领域之间的联系。惠兰医生是美国的海军军官和神经病学教授。
此外,医用气体研究的另一大特色是五十人组成的强大的编辑委员会,来自世界各地的13个国家代表的医用气体研究的医师/研究人员。这些编委会成员不仅将提供专业知识,在所有不同医疗领域从事临床,转化和基础科学研究,也有很多人执业麻醉医师在麻醉剂的临床技能。
在医疗气体研究有两个主要的挑战。一是需要更多基础科学开展基本机制的研究,二是需要执行临床试验良好计划,以测试各种医疗气体的应用价值。为了实现这个目标,医用气体研究的范围,将发表以下这些类型的文章,包括社论,评论,临床和实验室研究,短通讯,案例研究,研究方案,会议报告医疗假说,给编辑的信。我们欢迎评论和会议报告,医用气体的研究,我们欢迎评论文章,总结过去的研究,同时还批判的长处和短处的研究,并提出未来的研究方向,我们将发布临床病例研究和作为实验完整的文章或短的通信病例报告。为了使医疗气体领域向前迈进,我们欢迎新方法,协议研究和在医用气体应用技术。最后,作为一个交流思想的论坛,医用气体研究欢迎医疗假说的文章和给编辑的信。
在未来,我们将面临众多挑战,通过这个杂志带领讨论如何将气体改变成粉末或纳米大小的气泡,溶解在液体中的形式的医用气体,或使用注射剂或丸剂,代替面罩和管路。我们也希望带领医用气体设备的研究,如自携或缓释植入式“气罐”,用于慢性疾病和组织再生等的讨论。此外,通过本杂志,我们想了解医用气体如何促进组织的保护和再生长,并发现医用气体特定的受体,信号传导通路,可以处理局部和全身的影响。我们希望通过这些讨论,扩大医疗气体在农业,航空和航天工业,化妆品等领域的应用,并最终使部分医用气体成为我们日常生活中的正常组成。
要发送这些消息,我们需要一个平台,医用气体研究正是这样一个平台,这将吸引来自世界各地的优秀人才,以促进医疗气体可用于人类的健康。
Welcome to Medical Gas Research
John H Zhang1
Editorial.
Medical gas is a large family including oxygen, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, xenon, hydrogen sulfide, nitrous oxide, carbon disulfide, argon, helium and other noble gases. These medical gases are used in various disciplines of both clinical medicine and basic science research including anesthesiology, hyperbaric oxygen medicine, diving medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, surgery, and many basic science subjects such as physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, microbiology and neuroscience. Unfortunately, there is not even one journal dedicated to medical gas research at the basic, translational, or clinical sciences level; especially in the neurobiology or neuroscience fields let alone the other various medical fields. Therefore, I am thrilled to introduce this new journal named Medical Gas Research to you in this launching editorial.
The aim of Medical Gas Research is to publish basic, translational, and clinical studies in biology, especially neurobiology, and their applications with various disorders. Due to the unique nature of medical gas practice, Medical Gas Research will also serve as an information platform for education and technology advances for medical gas fields. We hope it will also emphasize novel approaches to help translate the scientific discoveries from basic medical gas research into the development of new strategies for the prevention, assessment, treatment, and enhancement of medical gas clinical applications. Medical Gas Research will be an open access journal, in that all articles will be freely and universally accessible online. This open access approach makes an author's work available to readers at no cost and not limited by their library's budget. This ensures that the author's work is disseminated to the widest possible audience than any subscription-based journal either in print or online [1]. Open access may lead to higher downloads and higher citation rates of one's work. In addition, authors hold copyright for their own work and the authors can grant anyone the right to reproduce and disseminate the article. Furthermore, all articles published by Medical Gas Research will be archived in PubMed Central and other freely accessible full-text repositories.
Another major strength of Medical Gas Research is that to be the first and the leading international journal focusing on medical gas research with eight experienced researchers serving as Associate Editors [2]. This includes Drs. Mark Coburn and Carsten Hobohm who are physician-scientists whose clinical experience with medical gases will enhance the translational aspect of this journal. Professors Shigeo Ohta and Xuejun Sun are world leading researchers in hydrogen and hyperbaric oxygen studies who will play fundamental roles with regards to the basic science aspect of this journal. Dr. Aneesh Singhal, a neurologist at Harvard Medical School, whose basic science, translational, and clinical trial expertise will weigh in tremendously to the quality of studies published. Dr. Atsunori Nakao whose research interests lie beyond the traditional medical field and will bring medical gas research into various directions. Dr. George Mychaskiw, who is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Association journal and Chairman of Anesthesiology at Drexel University School of Medicine, will serve as the major link between Medical Gas Research and other medical gas related journals especially in the field of anesthesiology. And last but not least, Dr. Harry Whelan, a US Navy Officer and Neurology Professor who will bring his own experience with the field to the journal.
Furthermore, another major feature of Medical Gas Research is the fifty-member strong editorial board which represents medical gas physicians/researchers from 13 countries around the world [2]. These Editorial Board members will not only provide expertise in clinical, translational, and basic science research in all different medical fields, but many are also practicing anesthesiologists whose clinical knowledge in anesthetics is an important aspect of this journal.
There are two major challenges researchers in the medical gas fields are facing - first is the need for more basic science studies on the fundamental mechanisms of medical gases; and the second is the need for well-planned and executed clinical trials to test the various indications and applications of medical gases [3]. In order to fulfill this aim and the scope of Medical Gas Research as mentioned above, the following format will be used for all journal submissions including editorials, commentaries, reviews, clinical and laboratory studies, short communications, case studies, study protocols, meeting reports, medical hypothesis, and letters to the editor. We welcome commentaries and meeting reports that summarize and challenge medical gas research; we welcome review articles that summarize past studies whilst still critiquing the strengths and weaknesses of the study and suggest future research directions; we will publish both clinical case studies and bench experiments either as full articles or as short communications or case reports. In order to keep the medical gas field moving forward, we welcome new methodology, protocol studies and technologies in medical gas applications. And finally as a forum to exchange ideas, Medical Gas Research welcomes articles on medical hypothesis and letter to the editors.
We face many exciting challenges down the road, and through this journal we would like to lead the discussion on how to change the form and shape of medical gas into powders or nano-sized bubbles which dissolve well in liquids so that in the future, masks and tubes may not be needed and can be replaced by injections or pills. We also want to lead the discussion on medical gas application devices such as self-propelled or slow releasing implanted "gas tanks" which can be used for chronic conditions and for tissue regeneration. Additionally, through this journal we would like to understand how medical gas promotes tissue protection and re-growth, and to discover specific receptors, signaling pathways, and/or antagonists that can manipulate the local and systemic effects of medical gases. Through all these discussions, we hope to expand medical gas research into agriculture, the airline and space industry, cosmetics, and eventually, make medical gas a normal part of our daily lives.
To send out these messages, we need a stage - Medical Gas Research is such a stage that will bring talents from all over the world together to make medical gases useful for the health of human beings.
