Submission

手稿应由手稿的一位作者通过在线手稿跟踪系统提交。只能通过MTS提交电子pdf（.pdf）或word（.doc，.docx，.rtf）文件，并且没有页面限制。除作者之一以外的任何人的提交都不会被接受。提交的作者在提交和同行评审过程中对手稿负责。寻求技术帮助联系help@hindawi.com。

提交条款

Manuscripts must be submitted on the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere and are only being considered by this journal. The submitting author is responsible for ensuring that the article’s publication has been approved by all the other coauthors. It is also the submitting author’s responsibility to ensure that the article has all necessary institutional approvals. Only an acknowledgment from the editorial office officially establishes the date of receipt. Further correspondence and proofs will be sent to the author(s) before publication, unless otherwise indicated. It is a condition of submission that the authors permit editing of the manuscript for readability. All inquiries concerning the publication of accepted manuscripts should be addressed tohelp@hindawi.com。所有提交的内容均受Hindawi的服务条款的约束。

Peer review

所有提交的文章都需要进行评估和同行评审，以确保编辑适当性和技术正确性。为了接受一篇文章的出版，分配的编辑将首先考虑手稿是否符合期刊范围内的最低编辑标准和适合。如果一篇文章在范围内，则编辑将在确认接受决定之前，理想地将至少有两个外部同伴审阅者（其身份仍然是作者匿名）来评估文章。拒绝的决定是由编辑决定的。

Our Research Integrity team will occasionally seek advice outside standard peer review, for example, on submissions with serious ethical, security, biosecurity, or societal implications. We may consult experts and the academic editor before deciding on appropriate actions, including but not limited to: recruiting reviewers with specific expertise, assessment by additional editors, and declining to further consider a submission.

并发提交

为了确保期刊作者的足够多样性，作者将仅限于在任何时间点进行三个手稿。如果作者已经在期刊上有三个手稿正在审查中，则他们需要等到这些手稿中的至少一个手稿完成，然后再提交另一个手稿进行考虑。此策略不适用于社论或其他未加入的手稿类型。

Article Processing Charges

The journal is Open Access. Article Processing Charges (APCs) allow the publisher to make articles immediately available online to anyone to read and reuse upon publication.

Preprints

Hindawi支持手稿在预印式服务器中的沉积，并不认为这是为了损害结果的新颖性。基于先前仅在预印式服务器，机构存储库或论文中公开的内容的文章将被考虑。应该引用预印本。

Scope and Reporting

The journal considers clinical case reports that are an observational description of up to three patients’ diagnosis, management and/or treatment. Authors are encouraged to use the护理清单为了改善其案件报告的报告（也可以提供护理in other languages）。杂志还考虑了临床病例系列。病例系列是仅采样以某种疾病的患者进行样品，以相同的方式接受治疗或与疾病相关的结果。包括四个或更多患者的报告应作为病例系列提交。鼓励作者使用Joanna Briggs Institute的checklist改善其案例系列的报告。

Formatting

我们建议所有手稿都包含行号，并遵循以下结构：

标题和作者资格信息

• Manuscript title
• Full author names
• Full institutional mailing addresses
• 电子邮件地址

Affiliations.Hindawi Limited在机构隶属关系中的管辖权主张方面仍然保持中立。作者最终最终取决于作者，尽管印第安纳州可能会要求更改与分支机构中列出的国家，以确保已发表的输出（出于索引和发现原因）的一致性。

Abstract

手稿应包含摘要。摘要应独立，无引用，不应超过300个单词。

Introduction

This section should be succinct, with no subheadings.

Case Presentation

This section should present all of the relevant information about the patient in the case being reported, as well as a full description of the patient’s symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome.

Discussion

This section may be divided into subsections or may be combined.

数据可用性

该声明应描述读者如何访问支持研究结论的数据，并清楚概述无法发布不可用数据的原因。

Conflicts of Interest

作者必须声明所有可能被认为是冲突的相关利益。作者应该解释为什么每个兴趣可能代表冲突。如果不存在冲突，作者应该说明这一点。提交作者负责宣布其利益的合着者。

Funding Statement

Authors must state how the research and publication of their article was funded, by naming financially supporting body(s) (written out in full) followed by associated grant number(s) in square brackets (if applicable), for example: “This work was supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the National Science Foundation [grant number zzzz]; and a Leverhulme Trust Research Project Grant”.

如果研究没有获得特定的资金，而是作为作者就业的一部分进行的，请命名该雇主。如果资助者参与了手稿撰写，编辑，批准或出版的决定，请宣布这一点。

致谢

All acknowledgments (if any) should be included at the very end of the manuscript before the references. Anyone who made a contribution to the research or manuscript, but who is not a listed author, should be acknowledged (with their permission).

参考

作者可以以任何样式提交其参考文献。如果被接受，这些将由印第安纳州的芝加哥风格重新格式化。作者有责任确保每个参考中的信息都是完整而准确的。所有参考文献均应按照其第一次引用的顺序连续编号。文本中的参考文献的引用应使用方括号中的数字（例如，如Smith [9]所讨论的）识别；“正如其他地方讨论的[9，10]”。所有参考文献都应在文本中引用，并将删除未列出的参考文献。

Date formatting

Hindawi recommends writing dates out fully to avoid confusion with different all-numeral date styles. For example, 11/10/2018 could be 10 November 2018 or 11 October 2018 depending on the reader, therefore, the date should be written out in full. For example, the date September 1, 2018 can be used rather than 01/09/2018 or 09/01/2018.

测量单位

应使用国际单位系统（SI）简单明了地介绍测量单位。

Preparation of figures

Upon submission of an article, authors should include all figures and tables in the PDF file of the manuscript. Figures and tables should not be submitted in separate files. If the article is accepted, authors will be asked to provide the source files of the figures. Each figure should be supplied in a separate electronic file. All figures should be cited in the manuscript in a consecutive order. Figures should be supplied in either vector art formats (Illustrator, EPS, WMF, FreeHand, CorelDraw, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) or bitmap formats (Photoshop, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, etc.). Bitmap images should be of 300 dpi resolution at least unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If a bitmap image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layers.

Maps.Hindawi Limited remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps. For reasons of consistency, authors are requested to use accepted standard maps as the basis for map figure drawing, for example using the latest standard base-map of Map Press. Responsibility for maps rests with the author and it is their responsibility to also provide any copyright or licence information when using maps that are not owned or created by the author (e.g. Google Maps, etc.)

准备桌子

Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Vertical rules should not be used.

Supplementary materials

Supplementary materials are the additional parts to a manuscript, such as audio files, video clips, or datasets that might be of interest to readers. Authors can submit one file of supplementary material along with their manuscript through the Manuscript Tracking System. If there is more than one file, they can be uploaded as a .ZIP file.

A section titled “Supplementary Material” should be included before the references list with a concise description for each supplementary material file. Supplementary materials are not modified by our production team. Authors are responsible for providing the final supplementary materials files that will be published along with the article.

证明

纠正的证明必须在收到后的两到三天内退还给出版商。出版商将尽一切可能确保及时发布。

报告指南

强烈建议作者在准备和提交手稿时使用适当的报告准则，以最大程度地提高透明度和可重复性。还鼓励我们的编辑和审阅者在审核过程中使用它们。提交时应在补充文件中提供完整的清单。我们特别鼓励使用：

• CONSORT对于随机对照试验
• TRENDfor non-randomized trials
• PRISMA用于系统评价和荟萃分析

利益冲突

当可以合理地认为研究外部问题以影响工作或评估的中立性或客观性时，就会发生利益冲突（COIS，也称为“竞争利益”）。有关更多信息，请参阅我们的出版道德政策。作者必须在“利益冲突”部分中宣布所有潜在利益（无论他们是否实际影响），这应该解释为什么利益可能是冲突。如果没有，作者应指出“作者宣布在本文的出版方面没有利益冲突”。提交作者负责宣布其利益的合着者。编辑和审阅者将考虑宣布的利益冲突，并将其包括在已发表的文章中。

作者必须宣布当前或最近的资金（包括用于文章处理费用）以及可能影响工作的其他付款，商品或服务。所有资金，无论是否冲突，都必须在“资金声明”中宣布。除作者以外的任何人的参与1）对作品的结果有兴趣；2）隶属于具有如此利益的组织；或3）必须宣布由资助者雇用或支付。

由于您的声明，您可能会要求您对手稿进行某些更改。这些请求不是指责不当的。编辑或审稿人正在帮助您保护工作免受潜在批评。

If you are in any doubt about declaring a potential conflict, remember that if it is revealed later – especially after publication – it could cause more problems than simply declaring it at the time of submission. Undeclared conflicts of interest could lead to a corrigendum or, in the most serious cases, a retraction.

Ethical guidelines

In any studies on human or animal subjects, the following ethical guidelines must be observed. For any experiments on humans, all work must be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (1964). Manuscripts describing experimental work which carries a risk of harm to human subjects must include a statement that the experiment was conducted with the human subjects’ understanding and consent, as well as a statement that the responsible Ethical Committee has approved the experiments. In the case of any animal experiments, the authors must provide a full description of any anesthetic or surgical procedure used, as well as evidence that all possible steps were taken to avoid animal suffering at each stage of the experiment.

同意

案例报告应遵循International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)recommendations. All patients have a right to privacy and personally identifying information should not be revealed without consent. Consenting to publication is not the same as consenting to treatment or consenting to participation in research.

Any patient who might be identified by their case description or whose external photograph appears in an article should read the article and must give written informed consent to publication of the case report.

If a potentially identifiable patient is a minor, unable to provide consent, or not competent to consent, the written informed consent of a parent or guardian must be given. If a potentially identifiable patient is deceased, authors must gain written informed consent from a relative or their estate.

When written informed consent has been obtained, it must be mentioned in the manuscript. Authors should use theHindawi consent to publication form; if they use another form, they must provide a blank copy of the consent form on submission. Authors must securely archive the signed consent form, to be made available to the journal or ethics committee on request.

未经书面知情同意出版，只有根据ICMJE准则对患者进行足够匿名的情况或在作者伦理委员会或隐私官批准出版时，才会考虑案例报告。

Advice on potentially identifying information is given inHrynaszkiewicz et al.Authors should avoid using names, initials, and exact dates, including within figures, and only include as much potentially identifying information as is needed for the scientific/educational understanding of the case. The Editor has the final decision on what information is potentially identifying and when consent to publication is required.

Appeals

Authors may appeal if they feel that the decision to reject was based on: i) a major misunderstanding over a technical aspect of the manuscript, or ii) a failure understand the scientific advance shown by the manuscript. Appeals requesting a second opinion without sufficient justification will not be considered. To lodge an appeal, please contact the journal by email, quoting your manuscript number. Appeals will only be considered from the original submitting author.
