Background: The thesis is an research work wish must submit to rigorous scientific criteria. However, this research effort remains inaccessible to international scientific communities. The aims of this study were to determinate the publication rates in indexed journals and factors affecting publication.

Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of pathology theses listed in the theses catalog of the library medical university of Tunis whose theses were supported between 2000-2010. Publication had been searched in databases "Pub Med". The number of citations received by each published thesis was recorded in www. Scopus.com.

Results: Our study concerned 189 theses. Thirty five original articles were derived from 33 theses (17.5%). Eleven medical indexed journals have made the support of articles, dominated by generalist journal (La Tunisie Médicale: 68.6%), specialist journals (Annales de Pathologies, Pathology, Ultrastructural Pathology: 11.4%). The number of article citations had an average of 1. Theses with informative title had been more publication (p=0.005). Theses with structured introduction had been more publication (p=0.002).

Conclusion: Publication rate of pathology theses in indexed journals are relatively low. This publication rate could be improved by the organization of seminars and workshops on writing articles from theses or by the improvement of these articles in national competitions.

Targeting IL-17 and its receptors: A feasible way for natural herbal medicines to modulate fibroblast-like synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis.

Biochem Pharmacol

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Southwestern Chinese Medicine Resources, School of Pharmacy, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, PR China. Electronic address:

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by processive synovial hyperplasia and abnormal proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), and can eventually lead to progressive joint destruction. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that cytokines play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of RA. In particular, the production of interleukin (IL)-17 by T helper 17 (Th17) cells is closely associated with the development of RA, and inhibition of IL-17/IL-17R could regulate the production of inflammatory factors by FLSs, which may be a feasible way to reduce inflammation and bone destruction in RA.
