结构式英文摘要有固定的结构要素,像格律诗,初学者容易掌握,多数是 4 要素结构,也有5 要素,6 要素,甚至有 8 要素的(如《中国组织工程研究与临床康复杂志》)。这些要素有:
①[背景(background)]
②目的(aim,objective)
③[材料],[对象]和方法([materials],[subjects]and methods)
{[设计(design)]
[地点和对象(setting and participants)]
[干预(interventions)]
[主要观察指标(main outcome measures)]}
④结果(results)
⑤讨论(discussions)
⑥结论(conclusions)
上述要素中,方括号“[]”内的内容表示可选项。如“材料,对象和方法”要素中,仅方法一项要素是必需的,其余两项是可选的。花括号“{}”内的内容,是对第三项要素“材料和方法”的扩充。要求花括号“{}”内内容的刊物,就没有第三项要素“材料和方法”。
不同的期刊对摘要的结构要求不同,作者一定要仔细阅读“征文通知”“征稿简则”“稿约”“投稿须知”“call for paper”或“instruction for authors”等文件对摘要书写的规定。可参见例2.1.1。
非结构式英文摘要应该用 300 字(或 300 英文实词)左右高度概括地描述工作的主要内容,包括方法、核心结果和结论,不应该只用一句话说本文干什么,可参见例 2.1.1 和例 2.1.3。
对于英文期刊,英文摘要置于作者(或作者单位)之后,文体(paper body或称为正文:main text)之前,多数由关键字“abstract”打头;对于中文期刊,有几种情况:一些置于中文摘要之后,一些置于中文摘要之前,一些置于参考文献之后。

ABSTRACT: DNA was extracted from the peripheral vena blood of 338 subjects using BLOOD DNA MINI KIT. 5 site SNP in 3 subtypes of Beta-AR were genotyped by PCR-RFLP(polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism)and allele-specific primer PCR techniques. The genotypes combination distribution of SNP at 5 site in the 3 subtypes of Beta-AR were determined by clustering analysis technique. The natural combination distribution characteristics for SNP at 5 site in the 3 subtypes of Beta-AR in 338 subjects were gotten. Sixty-seven combination types were found.The preceding 5 combinations in the natural combination distributions of the SNP were: (1)The genotype combination of forty subjects was B1-AR S/S49+B1-AR R/R389+B2-AR R/G16+B2-AR Q/E27+B3-AR W/W64, its probability was 11.83%.(2)The genotype combination of thirty-three subjects was B1-AR S/S49+B1-AR R/R389+B2-AR R/G16+B2-AR Q/Q27+B3-AR W/W64, its probability was 9.76%.(3)The genotype combination of nineteen subjects was B1-AR S/S49+B1AR R/G389+B2-AR R/G16+B2-AR Q/Q27+B3-AR W/W64, its probability was 5.62%.(4)The genotype combination of sixteen subjects was B1-AR S/S49+B1-AR R/G389+B2-AR R/G16+B2AR Q/E27+B3-AR W/W64, its probability was 4.74%.(5)The genotype combination of thirteen subjects was B1-AR S/G49+B1-AR R/R389+B2-AR R/G16+B2-AR Q/E27+B3-AR W/W64, its probability was 3.85%. The obvious correlations exist among full sample and female or male subgroup, and between female subgroup and male subgroup.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To study the role of β1-adrenoceptor gene Ser49Gly polymorphism in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension(EH). Methods: 80 EH and 85 normotensive subjects were selected to genotyped at Ser49Gly of the β1-adrenoceptor gene by the technique of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). Results: The frequencies ofβ1-adrenoceptor genotypes Ser/Ser, Ser/Gly and Gly/Gly were 0.79, 0.21 and 0 in EH respectively and 0.80, 0.19 and 0.01 in control group respectively( p >0.5). The allelic frequencies of Ser and Gly were 0.89 and 0.11 respectively in both the control and EP group. There were no differences between these two groups( p >0.5). The Ser/Gly distributions of both groups were in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Conclusion: No association was found between β1-adrenoceptor gene Ser49Gly polymorphism and the pathogenesis of EH in Chinese in this research.

[ Abstract ]Nitric oxide synthases(NOSs)catalyze the conversion of the cationic amino acid L-arginine to L-citrulline and nitric oxide(NO). NO plays its complex biological roles by a dependent cycle guanine monophosphate(cGMP)pathway and an independent cGMP pathway. In this article, we focused on the gene structure, regulation of gene expression and their influence factors in three isoforms of NOS. We also reviewed the study progresses in the regulation of cardiac contractile function and other physiological and pathophysiological roles of NOS.
