Medline 的特色
嚴謹定義的醫學標題( Medical Subject Heading 簡稱為 MeSH)

MeSH 的15 大類

層次分明的樹狀架構( Tree Structure)
Broader Terms vs. Narrow Terms
每一標題下可其依類,再下分為不同的副標題(Subheading),計有86個副標題
 

換語詞索引( Permuted Index)

在不確定有那些標題可以使用時,可以利用替換語詞索引檔引介出可用的語詞

各種查詢的介面:

PubMed (Medline on WWW):該網站為NCBI所提供免費使用

NLM gateway (Internet Grateful Med):NLM介面

由各商業出版界添加各種查詢介面功能的 Medline,如Ovid Medline、Proquest Medline

查詢的步驟:
  題目:想查有關壓力造成頭痛的文章,特別希望針對兒童學齡及青少年。最好是1990年後的文獻。

基本的畫面如下:

1.Chang database:可以同時檢索Econlit及PsycInfo或同一個檢索詞在Medline檢索後直接切換到Econlit或PsycInfo進行檢索

2.目前檢索的資料庫名稱及資料庫蒐錄年代

3.Basic Search:自然語言的檢索方式,檢索結果會以相關度高低列出

4. Find citation:當不確定書目資料的正確性或手中書目資料量不足時要確定書目時使用,例如只知道title為Developing unbiased diagnostic and treatment guidelines in psychiatry,不知道出於那一本期刊的那一卷期,可利用此種功能查詢

5.Search Tools:提供標題比對、內容註、樹狀架構、複分標題等檢索功能

6.Search Fields:提供卷、期、頁數等更多的檢索欄位

7.Advanced Ovid Search:提供map term to subject heading的檢索

8.Multi-Field Search:條列及下拉選項式提供不同欄位檢索

9.以點選方式選擇要進行keyword、author 、title、journal檢索

10鍵入檢索詞

11.檢索詞要比對subject heading

12.對於所鍵入的檢索詞要進一步限制檢索的結果

  先依觀念解析出想查的字彙,不要忘了圈選「對應標題表」的功能 ( mapping subject) 系統推測出一堆可能相關的標題供你挑選,你可勾選建議標題,也可選擇逐字查詢。

檢索詞彙:壓力(stress)、頭痛(headache)

縮小範圍詞彙:年齡層:學齡前、青少年

 年代:屬於1990年代之後發表的文章

  選定標題後,系統會引導你進入副標題(Sub-heading)的選擇。

除非你的主題只有單一觀念或是非常肯定某一些副標題與查詢相關,亦即你要縮小查詢的目標,你可以複選相關的 sub-headings。
  例如:你只對某病症的治療有興趣,可以選擇下列副標題是與廣義的治療(therapy) 有關 diet therapy(et)、 drug therapy(dt)、 nursing(nu)、prevention & control (pc)、
rehabilitation (rh)、radiotherapy (rt) surgery (su)、 transplantation (tr)


 
  針對每一策略逐條完成,查詢的結果展現在主要畫面。因為選擇詞彙不同,結果會不同
 

下一步可決定是否需要修飾查詢結果

限制功能能快速縮小搜尋的結果,除了常用的限制檢索欄 (Year、 Review article、 English)外,還有特定的出版品(publication type)以符合所需,如dissertation、tutorial 或 clinical trial等。Medline 還可以提供不同的限制條件。
 
 
 
  最後瀏覽文獻
 

條列式的呈現


 

 完整的單筆書目



 


檢索功能

and : A and B,檢索出來的資料要同時有A與B兩個主題

or : A or B,檢索出來的資料要有A或B主題

not : A not B,檢索出來的資料有A但不可談論到B主題

$:用在字尾,後面不加數字表示不限定字尾有幾個字母。如rat會收ration、rats、ratify,字尾單複數。

#:用在單複數變化,如wom#n,可檢索出有women.woman的字
 


呈現.列印.E-Mail存檔方式

呈現.列印及存檔都要先到citation manager做設定

列印 : 選定好要列印主題後,利用browser做列印

 

E-Mail:勾選好要E-Mail回去的資料,到citation manager選擇email

儲存: 勾選所要儲存的資料後,到citation manager點選save

檢索策略的儲存

需先在系統建立一個帳號,之後才能進行儲存

同時檢索Medline、Econlit、Healthstar

1、任選這三個資料庫中的一個進入

2、點選Chang Database

3、勾選要查詢的資料庫

4、將上一檢索詞再到其它資料庫進行檢索或清空或回到原先檢索的資料庫

5、顯示各個資料庫筆數

keep up with the world most progressive biomedical fields  

因為Medline 的更新很快,除了要對各學科的概念清楚外,對於日益增加的標題或是new terms與現有辭庫中的關連性,更會需要仰賴完整的索引建。故對於初學者有下列建議:
 

盡量利用標題比對,選擇適用的標題

一開始查詢不要先作太多限制( go straight)

仔細瀏覽所查結果中的標題它提供該文獻的重點(*)處,由此判斷查詢的方向是否穩合所需

做好修改(modification)的心理準備


1. Leptin是由脂肪細胞所分泌的一種荷爾蒙。1996年Considine RV等人發現在人類肥胖者Leptin濃度較一般人高,且Leptin的量會與體內脂肪量成正相關。

A.   請查出近二年內在medline中發表關於leptin 與肥胖的研究,特別侷限於對青少年齡層方面的討論。

B.2002年有幾篇Salbe AD.等人所寫與青少年有關的文章,請提供文章出處(含期刊刊名,卷號、期號等)

2. 醫學上有愈來愈多的醫療嘗試用傳統中醫治療

本資料庫中可否查詢到使用針灸治療在一般生理或是心理產生的壓力上?【提示:針灸 Acupuncture ;壓力 Stress

3.自1992年美國小兒科學會(AAP)建議應該讓小寶貝們仰睡,盡量避免俯睡以避免產生嬰兒瘁死症(SID)。從許多數據顯示,的確有減少案例的趨勢。

A.請問再1999年後有多少討論預防SID的review 文獻?

B.又從查詢的過程中,你可知道SID的全名是什麼?【提示:建議選用合適的副標題】

4.狂熱的電腦族要注意了!長期過度敲打鍵盤的動作,可能為你帶來了電腦族的病變叫「重複使力傷害:Repetitive Strain Injury,RSI」。若一旦受到嚴重的傷害,雙手將無法靈活運用。

近年間有文獻探討過電腦造成這種病變?【你可知道Cumulative Trauma Disorders Repetitive Strain Injury的關聯?

5.近年來許多大型醫院增設正子放射斷層攝影儀器(Positron Emission Tomography 簡稱 PET Scan) 作為癌症的偵測或是診斷腦部病變等。其實PET Scan 是利用體內對於葡萄糖代謝的生化現象來推斷,對於腫瘤診斷上的確是一種新途徑。

請問在資料庫中探討關於利用PET Scan的技術對於卵巢瘤(ovarian cancer)的診斷文獻?比較一下利用副標題diagnosis的差異?【提示:注意 PET Scan 對應的醫學標題】

6.請找出文獻證明餵母乳有助於預防嬰兒過敏

7.Irritable bowel disorder is a digestive problem that causes abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation--or some combination of these symptoms. One of the causes may be the patient may lack of a special kind of enzyme, which cause the similar bowel irritable symptoms, usually your doctor will perform a test for your breath.Please provide any relevant articles and cite the most current one.

C.   痛風的發生,便是因為普林的代謝出現異常,使得尿酸無法正常排出。痛風者酌量減少含普林食物的攝取,例如少吃內臟類、豆類、胚芽、魚肉。請從痛風食療法的觀點查看有多少文章提及普林?

17.甲狀腺疾病是常見的內分泌腺疾病,它位於於頸部喉結下方如蝴蝶狀的腺體。當甲狀腺分泌過多時會造成甲狀腺機能亢進 hyperthyroidism。典型的症狀為心跳快、焦慮、易緊張、體重下降。一般治療方式為服用抗甲狀腺藥物antithyroid drugs、服用放射性碘(radioactive iodine) 或是採用手術切除thyroid gland.

A.   請查閱病人服用抗甲狀腺藥物的回顧文獻

B.     請特別提供一篇發表在 New England Journal of Medicine 2001的一篇review article
