look forward to

I look forward to hear from you. .

This a very frequent mistake at the end of formal letters such as those sent to editors. The mistake is based upon a grammatical error. To may be either a part of the infinitive（不定式） or a preposition（介词）. In this case to is not a part of the infinitive of the verb hear but a part of the prepositional verb look forward to; it is indeed a preposition.

look forward to中to为介词

So instead of look forward to hear from you, you should write:

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards

Although it is used in both academic and informal correspondence bestregards is a mixture of two strong English collocations: kind regards and best wishes.

In our opinion instead of best regards, which is collo-quially acceptable, you should write:

Kind regards or simply Regards.

Are you suffering from paresthesias?

Many doctors forget that patients are not colleagues and use medical terminology which cannot be understood by them.

对患者，少用医学术语

This technical question would be easily understood in the form:

Do you have pins and needles?

单复数1-metastasis

A unique metastases was seen in the liver.

Unique and metastases are incompatible terms since the former refers to singular and the latter to plural.

Therefore, the appropriate sentence should have been:

A unique metastasis was seen in the liver.

单复数2-metastases

Multiple metastasis were seen in the brain.

Multiple and metastases are incompatible terms since the former refersto plural and the latter to singular. Whenever you use a Latin term check its singular and plural. Metastasis is singular whereas metastasesis plural so that there are multiple metastasis is not correct.

metastasis为单数形式；metastases为复数形式

In thiscase, you should write:

Multiple metastases were seen in the brain.

A/An

An European expert on cardiac MR chaired the session.

Although European starts with a vowel and you may think the article which must precede it is an as in an airport.

European[ˌjʊərəˈpi:ən]:辅音开头；需用a

the correct sentence,in this case, would be:

A European expert on cardiac MR chaired the session.

The meeting began a hour ago.

Although hour starts with a consonant and you may think the article which must precede it is “a” as in a “cradle”, the correct sentence, in this case, would be:

The meeting began an hour ago.

Words starting with a silent “h” are preceded by “an” as if they started with a vowel.h不发音

The cardiac surgeon who asked for the CMR was operating the stenotic aortic valve reported as such by the radiologist.

I This sentence is not correct since the verb “to operate” when is used from a surgical point of view (with regard to both patients and parts ofthe anatomy) is always followed by the preposition on.

The correctsentence would have been:

The cardiac surgeon who asked for the CMR was operating on thestenotic aortic valve reported as such by the radiologist.

in the coronal plane.

Medial and collateral ligaments are well defined on the coronal plane.

We use in when talking about planes (coronal, axial, sagittal ...) sincethe radiological finding is within the image.

So, although acceptable, it would have been better to say:

Medial and collateral ligaments are well defined in the coronal plane.

The hospital personnel

The hospital personal（医院员工） are very kind.

When we talk about a group of people working at an institution, the correct word is personnel, not personal:

The hospital personnel are very kind.

Page the cardiologist.

Page to the cardiologist.

The verb “to page” which could be related to the substantive “page” (a boy who is employed to run errands) is not a prepositional verb and does not need the preposition “to” after it.

When you want the cardiologist paged you must say:

Page the cardiologist.
