3.7 Text

(1) The introduction should include the purpose of the study and the relationship between the study and other related studies.

(2) The experimental method should be as short as possible, but other experienced researchers should be able to repeat the experiment. A brand-new method should be described in detail, just citing previously published references. The improvement of the method only needs to be discussed in detail on the premise that the experiment must be repeated.

(3) The results should be represented by charts as much as possible, and a lot of discussion should be avoided in the results.

(4) The discussion should be concise, and the results should be explained rather than repeated.

3.8 Illustrations should appear in the text, and the requirement for pictures is to use TIFF format as much as possible.

When you need to quote, please attach a note to the text. Documents published in electronic and printed versions shall be recorded in the printed version.

Authors who use EndNote software should edit and write references in the style of Acta Pharmacol Sin in EndNote software, which can basically meet the requirements of the reference format of this journal.

Names appear as surnames before names, and there is no "and" or "and" between authors. The format of the cited journals is: document serial number, author's name, paper title, journal name (English standard abbreviation refers to Medline or CA), year, volume number (issue number) and starting and ending page numbers. For example:

In addition, combined with the previous author's submission, please pay special attention to the following points:

(1) Please don't quote the literature that is difficult for readers to consult, such as the doctoral thesis of a university and the proceedings of a conference.

(2) The words and contents in titles (table titles), notes (table notes) and charts (tables) are all expressed in English;

(3) Summarize the article fluently and reduce the traces of translation; If the cited documents are new, there should be documents in the last 1~2 years; Give as many examples as possible to increase readability. When quoting other people's charts, you should indicate the source of the document, and you should not copy the original text (except with the consent of the original author and the publishing house), but you should make appropriate changes and add the author's own things to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of others. It is best expressed as "make appropriate changes according to the document [1]".

(4) Nouns: All translated Chinese names are expressed in Chinese.

(5) Many protein are named after their genes. Therefore, when writing, we should be very careful and careless, and turn the positive body into italics, so protein becomes a gene, and vice versa.
