To investigate the relevance of the term superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) and demonstrate that this term is important enough to be added to the MeSH database and listed in International Anatomical Nomenclature.
Terms related to SMAS were selected from original articles retrieved from the ISI Web of Science and MEDLINE (PubMed) databases. Groups of terms were created to define a search strategy with high-sensitivity and restricted to scientific periodicals devoted to plastic surgery. This study included articles between January 1996 and May 2009, whose titles, abstracts, and keywords were searched for SMAS-related terms and all occurrences were recorded.
A total of 126 original articles were retrieved from the main periodicals related to plastic surgery in the referred databases. Of these articles, 51.6% had SMAS-related terms in the abstract only, and 25.4% had SMAS-related terms in both the title and abstract. The term 'superficial musculoaponeurotic system' was present as a keyword in 19.8% of the articles. The most frequent terms were 'SMAS' (71.4%) and superficial musculoaponeurotic system (62.7%).
The term SMAS refers to a structure relevant enough to start a discussion about indexing it as a keyword and as an official term in Terminologia Anatomica: International Anatomical Terminology.
探讨浅筋膜肌肉腱膜系统（SMAS）这一术语的相关性，并证明该术语重要到足以被添加到医学主题词表（MeSH）数据库中，并列入国际解剖学命名法。
从科学引文索引（ISI）网络数据库和医学文献数据库（MEDLINE，即PubMed）检索到的原始文章中选择与SMAS相关的术语。创建术语组以定义具有高灵敏度的搜索策略，并限于专门从事整形外科学术期刊。本研究纳入了1996年1月至2009年5月期间的文章，对其标题、摘要和关键词进行SMAS相关术语搜索，并记录所有出现的情况。
从上述数据库中与整形手术相关的主要期刊共检索到126篇原始文章。其中，51.6%的文章仅在摘要中有与SMAS相关的术语，25.4%的文章在标题和摘要中均有与SMAS相关的术语。“浅筋膜肌肉腱膜系统”一词作为关键词出现在19.8%的文章中。最常见的术语是“SMAS”（71.4%）和浅筋膜肌肉腱膜系统（62.7%）。
SMAS这一术语所指的结构具有足够的相关性，足以引发关于将其作为关键词编入索引以及作为《解剖学名词术语：国际解剖学术语》中的官方术语进行讨论。
