1. Manuscripts must have a clear focus, present key points prominently, be supported by verified materials and reliable data, demonstrate rigorous logic, and be written in fluent and coherent language.
2. Manuscript content should prioritize conciseness and precision. The text must be accurate, succinct, and fluent. Original research articles must include both Chinese and English abstracts. Each article should contain 2 to 5 keywords, separated by a single space without punctuation. Keywords should preferably be selected from the *Chinese Thesaurus*, terms approved by the Medical Terminology Validation Committee, or other authoritative reference books. Abstracts, limited to 200 Chinese characters, should include the sections: Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion. The English abstract must be a structured abstract comprising the same four sections. Original articles (including figures, tables, and references) should generally not exceed 4,500 words and must include no more than 20 key references. Case reports and brief communications should generally not exceed 1,500 words. Redundancy between the main text and its figures or tables should be avoided.
3. The manuscript title should be concise and accurate, preferably within 20 words. Hierarchical numbering within the text must use Arabic numerals, with different levels separated by a period (e.g., 1, 1.1, 1.1.1). No punctuation should follow the final numeral.
4. If the research is supported by national, ministerial, provincial, or higher-level funds or is part of a key project, this must be indicated at the bottom left of the title page.
5. References:To enhance scientific rigor, all articles should include an appropriate number of references. Citations must follow the sequential numbering system per the national standard GB/T 3179-92, Appendix A. References are numbered consecutively in the order they appear in the text, indicated by Arabic numerals in square brackets. Unpublished observations and personal communications are generally not acceptable as references. Secondary sources should also be avoided when possible. Journal title abbreviations in references must follow the format of the *Index Medicus* edited by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. All references must be verified against the original source and listed in numerical order at the end of the manuscript.
6. Authorship and Submission:All listed authors must be legitimate copyright holders and bear full responsibility for the content. Author names should be listed in order beneath the title. The order, once submitted, is considered final. The corresponding author's institution, postal code, city, and email address must be noted at the bottom left of the first page. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript, as submitted copies will not be returned. The journal's editorial committee makes the final decision on publication. If no notice of acceptance or revision request is received within 6 months of acknowledgment, authors may submit their manuscript elsewhere. Duplicate submission is strictly prohibited.
7. The editorial office reserves the right to edit manuscripts. Authors who do not wish their manuscript to be edited should state this clearly on the first page of the submission.
8. A letter of introduction from the author's institution must accompany the submission. Any mentors or reviewers must personally review and approve the manuscript.
9. Upon acceptance for publication, the exclusive publication rights transfer to the journal. The journal reserves the right to publish the accepted article in electronic journal, CD-ROM, or other formats (the copyright royalty and the journal's article fee will be paid in a single payment). Authors who do not agree to these terms must state so at the time of submission.
