3 Introductions & Discussions Writing the Introduction Interest Beginning should demonstrate relevance/interest Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality for men and women. Despite smoking prevention and cessation programs and advances in early detection, the 5-year survival rate for lung cancer is only 16% with current therapies. Although lung cancer incidence rates have recently declined in the United States, more lung cancer is now diagnosed when considered together in former- and never-smokers than in current smokers. Thus, even if all of the national anti-smoking campaign goals are met, lung cancer will remain a major public health problem for decades. New ways to treat or prevent lung cancer are therefore needed. Identified problem is directly related to the aims and scope Busch et al. BMC Cancer. 2012; 13: 211.
4 Introductions & Discussions Aims and scope BMC Cancer BMC Cancer is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of cancer research, including the pathophysiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancers. The journal welcomes submissions concerning molecular and cellular biology, genetics, epidemiology, and clinical trials.
5 Introductions & Discussions Writing the Introduction Problem Identify an important problem State aims that directly address this problem Therefore, it is of great interest to investigate whether reduction in obesity is associated with improvement in insulin secretion and sensitivity. However, the relationship between the changes in obesity and insulin resistance has not been well characterized. Aims Here, we investigated the associations between changes in obesity and insulin secretion and sensitivity in obese Japanese participants over a 1-year period. Modified from: Goto et al. PLoS ONE. 2013; 8: e57964.

9 Introductions & Discussions Writing the beginning of your Discussion State the major conclusion of the study Re-introduction GPER is an E 2 binding, G-protein coupled membrane receptor that was reported to be overexpressed in breast, endometrial, ovarian and thyroid cancers. However, it is currently unclear if different types of lung cancers including adenocarcinomas, squamous Problem cell carcinoma and large cell carcinomas express higher GPER than normal lung tissue. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that GPER is overexpressed in lung tumors and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines relative to normal lung and immortalized normal lung cell lines, although the expression of GPER transcript in HPL1D cells is higher than that of HBECs.

10 Introductions & Discussions Writing the middle of your Discussion Describe any unexpected/negative results In this study, we found that leaf N, P and N:P of the desert flora were unrelated to mean annual precipitation and only weakly related to mean annual temperature (Fig. 3). Possibly, the range in temperature ( C) and precipitation Likely ( mm) at our study site was too small to detect strong patterns with leaf N and P. Leaf N and P stoichiometry of different desert plants can temporally fluctuate because of seasonal climate variation that can obscure the spatial relationships between this stoichiometry and mean annual climate parameters. Future studies should evaluate these patterns in other areas throughout the year to address this issue. Negative results Possible reasons Suggest future directions Modified from: He et al. Sci Rep. 2014; 4: 6932.
11 Introductions & Discussions Writing the middle of your Discussion Describe any negative results Why? Reporting transparency Allows complete evaluation of your study Prevents others from repeating those experiments Allows others to modify those experiments Prevents funding agencies from wasting money
12 Introductions & Discussions Writing your limitations Identify limitations Important limitations of our study include an inadequate sample size and duration to detect differences in the incidence of diabetes complications, Address limitations such as myocardial infarction, stroke, or death. The protocol specifies further follow-up at 5 years for all patients, which should allow additional Sentence assessment structure of even longer-term efficacy and safety. Despite these limitations, we conclude that bariatric surgery represents a potentially useful strategy for the management of type 2 diabetes, allowing many patients to reach and maintain therapeutic targets of glycemic control that otherwise would not be achievable with intensive medical therapy alone.

14 Introductions & Discussions Writing your limitations Limitation Use sentence structure to emphasize the application of your study Although the estimated quantum efficiency of the Pt-modified C 3 N 4 catalyst is rather low, this study opens new directions for the search of energy production schemes, using thermally and oxidation-stable polymeric organic semiconductor structures as the functional material that are cheap and commonly available. Limitation Modified from: Wang et al. Nat Mater. 2008; 8: Although this study used T. gondii as a model organism for evaluating terrestrial pathogen transport in coastal ecosystems, the polymer-mediated mechanisms identified here are likely relevant to disease transmission of numerous terrigenous pathogens that pose health risks to marine hosts or humans.

16 Introductions & Discussions Writing the Discussion End should state the major conclusion of the study Re-state your major conclusion Describe the key implications Recommend future research
17 Introductions & Discussions Writing a strong conclusion paragraph Why your study is important In conclusion, we found an independent, graded association between lower levels of the estimated GFR and the risks of death, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization. These risks were evident at an estimated GFR of less than 60 ml per minute per 1.73 m 2 and substantially increased with an estimated GFR of less than 45 ml per minute per 1.73 m 2. Our findings support the validity of the National Kidney Foundation staging system for chronic kidney disease but suggest that the system could be further refined, since all persons with stage 3 chronic kidney disease (GFR, 30 to 59 ml per minute per 1.73 m 2 ) may not be at equal risk for each outcome. Our findings highlight the clinical and public health importance of chronic kidney disease that does not necessitate dialysis. Conclusion Key finding Implications Future directions Clinical importance Go et al. N Engl J Med. 2004; 351:
18 Introductions & Discussions Writing a strong conclusion paragraph Why your work is important to your readers The Spanish version of AIDA showed good psychometric properties in Mexico and can be used to assess the construct pathology-related identity integration vs. diffusion with reliability, validity, and content equivalence in comparison with the original AIDA questionnaire. This finding supports the cross-cultural generalizability of the underlying concept and confirms the importance of culture-specific test adaption in addition to literal translation of the questionnaire. Nevertheless, some items should be improved. Therefore, the test version of AIDA Spanish Mexico should be further adapted and should be tested in a more heterogeneous population. Conclusion Implications Future directions Kassin et al. Child Adolesc Psychiatry Ment Health. 2013; 7: 25.
19 Academic publishing Writing the Discussion Why your work is important to your readers In summary, we identified a P. infestans RXLR-WY type effector, PexRD2, which interacts with MAPKKKε and perturbs plant immunity associated signaling pathways dependent on this kinase. Either overexpression of PexRD2 or knockdown of MAPKKKε supports enhanced pathogen growth and suppression of MAPKKKε-triggered or -dependent cell death readouts in N. benthamiana. This study represents a step toward understanding how oomycete RXLR-type effectors directly interact with MAPK cascades, which are well established as key regulators of plant immunity. The next challenge is to better understand the role of PexRD2 and PexRD2-like effectors, and their targets, in the progression of disease in important host crop plants, such as tomato and potato. The ultimate aim of this would be to manipulate these interactions to tip the balance in the coevolutionary arms race between pathogen and host in favor of the plant.

20 Introductions & Discussions Common mistakes in the Discussion Do not restate your results After policy implementation, cadmium levels at sites adjacent to the factory significantly decreased from 113.9±12.6 g m 2 to 53.4±6.3 g m 2 (p=0.034). This demonstrates that this policy is effective in reducing cadmium contamination and should be considered in other similar regions as well. Our results demonstrate that the implementation of the new policy was effective in reducing cadmium contamination at factoryadjacent sites by 53.1%. This suggests that this policy may also be effective in reducing cadmium levels in other similar regions as well.
21 Introductions & Discussions Common mistakes Do not overgeneralize your findings Policy implementation in Japan reduces cadmium contamination Our results demonstrate that the implementation of the new policy was effective in reducing cadmium contamination at factoryadjacent sites by 53.1%. This proves that this policy will be effective in reducing industrial contamination worldwide. Our results demonstrate that the implementation of the new policy was effective in reducing cadmium contamination at factoryadjacent sites by 53.1%. This suggests that this policy may also be effective in reducing cadmium levels in other similar regions as well.

40 Titles and Abstracts Unstructured abstract ErbB-2 has been implicated as a target for cancer-initiating cells in breast and other cancers. ErbB-2-directed peptide vaccines have been shown to be effective in prevention of spontaneous tumorigenesis of breast in neu transgenic mouse model, and cellular immunity is proposed as a mechanism for the anti-tumor efficacy. However, there has been no explanation as to how immunity suppresses tumorigenesis from the early stage carcinogenesis, when ErbB-2 expression in breast is low. Here, we investigated a peptidebased vaccine, which consists of two MHC class II epitopes derived from murine ErbB-2, to prevent the occurrence of spontaneous tumors in breast and assess immune impact on breast cancer stem cells. Female MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice were immunized with either ErbB-2 peptide vaccine, or a peptide from tetanus toxoid, or PBS in immune adjuvant. We found that ErbB-2 peptides vaccine completely suppressed spontaneous breast tumors, and the efficacy was correlated with antigen-specific T-cell and antibody responses. In addition, immune serum from the mice of ErbB-2 vaccine group had an inhibitory effect on mammosphereforming capacity and signaling through ErbB-2 and downstream Akt pathway in ErbB-2 overexpressing mouse mammary cancer cells. In conclusion, we provide evidence that multiepitope class II peptides vaccine suppresses tumorigenesis of breast potentially by inhibiting the growth of cancer stem cells. We also suggest that a strategy of inducing strong immune responses using multi-epitope ErbB-2-directed helper vaccine might be useful in preventing breast cancer recurrence.

49 Titles and Abstracts Do not include a lot of numbers and statistics The effect of high vacuum on the mechanical properties and bioactivity of collagen fibril matrices Results The cell area histogram and mean cell areas for the HV-treated fibril matrices (2030 μm 2 ± 137 μm 2 ) are comparable to the cell areas of untreated fibril matrices measured here (2165 μm 2 ± 206 μm 2 ) and elsewhere... Cells on LVtreated fibril matrices have larger average surface areas (3450 μm 2 ± 175 μm 2 ) than the control untreated matrices, and their spread areas are more similar to that of cells plated on dehydrated fibrils (average cell area of 4348 μm 2 ± 287 μm 2 ). The modulus results for the first analysis reveal that HV treatment of the fibrils leads to a small, but statically significant (p < ), increase in mechanical your rigidity of results the fibril matrices. Untreated matrices had a modulus of 8.1 kpa ± 2.2 kpa and HV-treated matrices had a modulus of 13.1 kpa ± 3.8 kpa. However, the HV-treated matrices are approximately a factor of three more compliant than the dehydrated fibril matrices (35.4 kpa ± 4.9 kpa). The modulus results for the second analysis (Table 2) indicate that LV-treated fibril matrices (34.7 kpa ± 3.7 kpa) are nearly as mechanically stiff (p= 0.20) as the dehydrated matrices (36.4 kpa ± 4.2 kpa), and are considerably less compliant than the untreated matrices (11.2 kpa ± 3.7 kpa) in this experiment. Abstract Summarize and simplify We find that HV exposure has an unappreciable affect on the cell spreading response and mechanical properties of these collagen fibril matrices. Conversely, low vacuum environments cause fibrils to become mechanically rigid as indicated by force microscopy, resulting in greater cell spreading. Anderton et al. Biointerfaces. 2013; 8: 2.

51 Activity 4: Abstract How is this related to mice? A devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan on March 11, In the present study, the effects of this earthquake on laboratory mice behavior were investigated. Earthquakeexperienced mice displayed a marked increase in food consumption without gaining body weight. The food was purchased from a company based in New Zealand. The mice also displayed enhanced anxiety. Maze performance of earthquake-experienced mice showed quicker acquisition of the task compared with that of earthquake-naive mice. Stress hormone levels, which were measured three times, were elevated compared with the naive mice. This indicated that the earthquake and aftershocks were stressful for the mice.

65 Coverage and Cover Staffing letters Plan A good cover letter Marc Lippman, MD Editor-in-Chief Breast Cancer Research and Treatment 3 September 2013 Dear Dr Lippman, Manuscript information Please find enclosed our manuscript entitled Evaluation of the Glasgow prognostic score in patients undergoing curative resection for breast cancer liver metastases, which we would like to submit for publication as an Original Article in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.. The Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) is of value for a variety of tumours. Several studies have investigated the prognostic value of the GPS in patients with metastatic breast cancer, but few studies have performed such an investigation for patients undergoing liver resection for liver metastases. Furthermore, there are currently no studies that have examined the prognostic value of the modified GPS (mgps) in these patients. The present study evaluated the mgps in terms of its prognostic value for postoperative death in patients undergoing liver resection for breast cancer liver metastases. A total of 318 patients with breast cancer liver metastases who underwent hepatectomy over a 15-year period were included in this study. The mgps was calculated based on the levels of C-reactive protein and albumin, and the disease-free survival and cancer-specific survival rates were evaluated in relation to the mgps. Prognostic significance was retrospectively analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. Overall, the results showed a significant association between cancer-specific survival and the Key mgps and findings carcinoembryonic antigen level. Furthermore, we demonstrated that a higher mgps was associated with increased aggressiveness of liver recurrence and poorer survival in these patients. This study is the first to demonstrate that the preoperative mgps, a simple clinical tool, is a useful prognostic factor for postoperative survival in breast cancer patients undergoing curative resection for liver metastases. This information is immediately clinically applicable for surgeons and medical oncologists treating such patients. As a premier journal covering breast cancer treatment, we believe that Breast Cancer Research and Treatment is the perfect platform from which to share our results with all those concerned with breast cancer. We confirm that this manuscript has not been published elsewhere and is not under consideration by another journal. All authors have approved the manuscript and agree with submission to Breast Cancer Research and Treatment. This study was funded by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare. We would like to recommend the following reviewers to evaluate our manuscript: Reviewer 1 and contact information Reviewer 2 and contact information Reviewer 3 and contact information Reviewer 4 and contact information Please address all correspondence to: We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

90 Activity 5: Peer review The journal editor has returned your manuscript along with a question from the Reviewer. Choose the most appropriate response and explain why. Reviewer 2: The concept of using conformity to explain effective policy implementation is not new. The authors should discuss what has been published previously regarding this issue, such as Stow et al. Int Policy Rev. 2008; 12: and Yajima et al. J Res Policy. 2005; 62:
91 Activity 5: Peer review Response A: We thank the reviewer for their opinion. However, we have decided to not include these references as they are not relevant to our study. If you decide not to include Reviewer recommended studies, you need to explain why.
92 Activity 5: Peer review Response B: We thank the reviewer for their comment. We have reviewed the suggested papers; however, we do not feel that these papers should be cited in our manuscript. Although these papers address conformity, they do so in a socialist context that is not appropriate for our paper. The studies by Jackson et al. (J Policy Studies. 2007; 43: ) and Pack et al. (Int Econ Rev 2011; 6: 67-71) are more relevant as they discuss the concept of conformity in a similar context as our paper. Therefore, we have included these references and added text to the Discussion of our revised manuscript. Explains why not appropriate Suggests other relevant studies Addresses problem with literature review
93 Activity 5: Peer review Response C: We thank the reviewer for their valuable suggestions. We have conducted a thorough literature search and have added the two suggested references to our revised manuscript. Where? If you decide to include Reviewer recommended studies, you should explain why you feel they are relevant. You should also state where they are discussed.
94 Activity 5: Peer review Response D: We thank the reviewer for their valuable suggestions. We have conducted a thorough literature search and have added the two suggested references to our revised manuscript. We have also expanded our Discussion section to clarify how our findings differ from those reported previously. Briefly, although the studies from Stow et al. and Yajima et al. discuss the role of conformity to effectively implement new policies, they do so only in a socialist context. Therefore, we have discussed the novelty of our findings with regard to different government systems. Discusses where added Briefly explains discussion of new ideas Addresses issue related to novelty
