Guidelines for Ulcer Pathophysiology Manuscripts
Experimental Design Requirements
Manuscripts reporting experimental studies must adhere to established guidelines for reproducibility and rigor:
- Animal studies: Follow ARRIVE guidelines (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) with detailed description of ulcer induction models, animal strains, housing conditions, and humane endpoints
- Cell culture studies: Specify cell line sources, authentication methods, passage numbers, and culture conditions relevant to gastric or intestinal epithelial cells
- Molecular studies: Provide complete methodology for Western blotting, qPCR, immunohistochemistry, or pathway analysis with antibody validation and controls
- Statistical analysis: Describe sample size calculations, statistical tests used, and measures of variability (SD, SEM, or confidence intervals)
Data Presentation Standards
High-quality data presentation is essential for mechanistic studies:
- Microscopy images: Include scale bars, magnification, and staining details for histological or immunofluorescence images of ulcerated tissue
- Western blots: Show full, uncropped blots with molecular weight markers and loading controls
- Graphs and charts: Use clear axis labels, error bars, and statistical significance indicators for quantitative data
- Pathway diagrams: Create clear, professional illustrations of proposed molecular mechanisms with appropriate citations
Mechanistic Interpretation
Strong mechanistic manuscripts in ulcer pathophysiology should:
- Clearly distinguish between correlation and causation in molecular pathway analysis
- Discuss findings in context of existing ulcer pathogenesis models and theories
- Address limitations of experimental models and their relevance to human ulcer disease
- Propose testable hypotheses for future mechanistic investigations
- Consider translational implications for therapeutic target development
