结果 Follow the guidelines below for writing a good Results section: ? Present the results in the past tense. ? Present them in a logical sequence. ? State them clearly and simply. ? Use table and graphs to summarize large amounts of data. ? Do not repeat in the text the numerical evidence presented in figures and tables. ? Do not present the same data in figures and tables. ? Mention negative results if they are likely to be of interest to other research workers in the field. ? Give statistical significance. ? Estimate accuracy and precision of the results. ? Avoid redundancy and vague statements. 结果---Example Results A total of 15 patients (Males-11, Females-4) were studied. The mean age at the start of therapy was 12 years (range- 7-15 years). At the beginning and at the end of therapy, all patients thyroid function, creatinine, hemoglobin, electrolytes, blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin, calcium, and liver function tests were in normal range [Table - 1]. The maximum mean stimulated Growth Hormone level was 0.71ng/ml. Two patients had multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies and had substitution therapy with thyroxine in a dose of 100microgram/m 2 for over a year while two patients were on anti-epileptic therapy. Two patients reported urticaria during the first month of therapy, which subsided without anti-allergy treatment, while headache was reported by two patients. No other local or systemic reactions possibly occurring due to growth hormone administration were noted. Two boys showed enlargement in the testicular volume from 3 to 5 ml during the course of the study. 结果---Example The pretreatment and post treatment auxological data is presented in [Table - 2] (mean [SD]) and [Figure - 1] while the height, weight, height velocity, BMI standard deviation scores (Z scores) as well as the predicted heights have been presented in [Table - 3]. The mean pretreatment height velocity was 3.1 cm/year, which improved to 12.1 cm/year on therapy with rhGH.
