Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of the central government-funded echinococcosis control programme in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Gansu Province from 2007 to 2022, so as to provide insights into echinococcosis control. METHODS Administrative villages were sampled using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method from Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Gansu Province from 2007 to 2022, and all residents at ages of 12 years and older in the sampled villages were screened for echinococcosis, and schools were sampled using a cluster sampling method, and all children at ages of 12 years and older in the sampled schools were screened for echinococcosis. Domestic dogs were sampled using a systematic random sampling method, and one domestic dog stool sample was collected from each household. Stray dog stool samples were collected outside the villages, and Echinococcus coproantigens were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in domestic and stray dogs. In addition, echinococcosis was screened in sheep and cattle in designated slaughterhouses in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County. The trends in the prevalence of echinococcosis in humans and livestock and the positive rate of Echinococcus coproantigens in dogs were examined with the Cochran-Armitage trend test. In addition, individuals screened for echinococcosis were randomly sampled from 2007 to 2022 for survey on the awareness of echinococcosis control knowledge. RESULTS A total of 290 356 person-times were screened for echinococcosis among residents at ages of 12 years and older in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Gansu Province from 2007 to 2022, with 1 094 residents detected with cystic echinococcosis, and the detection of echinococcosis appeared a tendency towards a gradual decline over years (χ2 = 358.602, P < 0.001). A total of 32 931 person-times were screened for echinococcosis among children at ages of 12 years and older in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Gansu Province from 2007 to 2022, with 296 children detected with echinococcosis, and the detection of echinococcosis appeared a tendency towards a gradual decline over years (χ2 = 267.673, P < 0.001). A total of 33 230 domestic dog stool samples were tested for Echinococcus coproantigens in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Gansu Province from 2007 to 2022, with 1 777 Echinococcus coproantigens-positive samples tested, and the positive rate of Echinococcus coproantigens appeared a tendency towards a decline in domestic dogs over years (χ2 = 2 210.428, P < 0.001), while the positive rate of Echinococcus coproantigens showed a tendency towards a rise in domestic animals from 2016 to 2022 (χ2 = 37.745, P < 0.001). The positive rate of Echinococcus coproantigens remained relatively stable in stray dogs in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Gansu Province from 2019 to 2022 (χ2 = 0.315, P = 0.575). A total of 10 973 sheep were screened for echinococcosis in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County from 2007 to 2022, with 334 sheep detected with echinococcosis, and the detection of echinococcosis appeared a tendency towards a decline in sheep over years (χ2 = 53.579, P < 0.001); however, there was no significant change in the detection of echinococcosis during the period from 2015 through 2022 (χ2 = 1.520, P = 0.218). A total of 2 400 cattle were screened for echinococcosis in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County from 2017 to 2022, with 231 cattle detected with echinococcosis, and the detection of echinococcosis showed a tendency towards a decline over years (χ2 = 5.579, P < 0.05). The awareness of echinococcosis control knowledge increased from 44.37% in 2007 to 94.00% in 2022 among residents at ages of 12 years and older and from 52.50% in 2007 to 92.50% in 2022 among children at ages of 12 years and older in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, respectively. CONCLUSIONS There has been a reduction in the detection of echinococcosis in humans and domestic animals and the positive rate of Echinococcus coproantigens in dogs and a rise in the awareness of the echinococcosis control knowledge following the implementation of the central government-funded echinococcosis control programme in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Gansu Province; however, integrated echinococcosis control measures are still required for further control of the prevalence of echinococcosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the blood pressure outcomes of infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with idiopathic (nonsecondary) hypertension (HTN) who were discharged on antihypertensive therapy. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, multicenter study of 14 centers within the Pediatric Nephrology Research Consortium. We included all infants with a diagnosis of idiopathic HTN discharged from the NICU on antihypertensive treatment. The primary outcome was time to discontinuation of antihypertensive therapy, grouped into (≤6 months, >6 months to 1 year, and >1 year). Comparisons between groups were made with χ2 tests, Fisher's exact tests, and ANOVA. RESULTS Data from 118 infants (66% male) were included. Calcium channel blockers were the most prescribed class of antihypertensives (56%) in the cohort. The percentages remaining on antihypertensives after NICU discharge were 60% at 6 months, 26% at 1 year, and 7% at 2 years. Antenatal steroid treatment was associated with decreased likelihood of antihypertensive therapy >1 year after discharge. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter study reports that most infants admitted to the NICU diagnosed with idiopathic HTN will discontinue antihypertensive treatment by 2 years after NICU discharge. These data provide important insights into the outcome of neonatal HTN, but should be confirmed prospectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate the risk factors of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) undergoing radical radiotherapy (with or without concurrent chemotherapy) and to assess the prognostic value of tumor volume regression (TVR) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in different risk groups. MATERIALS/METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 176 individuals diagnosed with stage IIA-IVA cervical cancer (CC) who underwent radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy in our center between January 2012 and December 2020. The tumor volume before radiotherapy (TVp) and before brachytherapy (TVmid) were evaluated based on three-dimensional MRI images, TVR = (TVp -TVmid)/TVp × 100%. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess patient's overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Prognostic factors were identified using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS For the entire cohort, patients with TVR ≥ 94% had better 5-year OS (82.7% vs 49.8%, p<0.001) and 5-year PFS (82.5% vs 51.1%, p<0.001) compared to TVR < 94%. Patients with TVR ≥ 94% were more likely to receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) than those with TVR < 94% (70.1% vs 40.5%, p<0.05). Among patients undergoing CCRT, those with a TVR ≥ 94% had a better prognosis than those with a TVR < 94%. However, among patients who received RT alone, those with TVR ≥ 94% had better PFS but no statistically significant difference in OS. Likewise, among patients with CYFRA21-1 < 7.7 ng/ml, patients with TVR ≥ 94% had a better prognosis. However, TVR was not a prognostic factor in patients with CYFRA21-1 ≥ 7.7 ng/ml. Both CYFRA21-1 (OS, PFS interaction, p<0.001) and FIGO stage (PFS interaction, p = 0.035) were found to significantly impact predictive effects of TVR. CONCLUSION In LACC patients with CRYFA21-1 < 7.7 ng/ml who received CCRT, TVR was an important prognostic factor. However, in patients with CRYFA21-1 ≥ 7.7 ng/ml who received RT alone, the prognostic value of TVR needs to be further explored.

Abstract
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) does not allow the quantification of reduced blood flow due to coronary artery disease (CAD). In response, numerical methods based on the CCTA image have been developed to compute coronary blood flow and assess the impact of disease. However to compute blood flow in the coronary arteries, numerical methods require specification of boundary conditions that are difficult to estimate accurately in a patient-specific manner. We describe herein a new noninvasive flow estimation method, called Advection Diffusion Flow Estimation (ADFE), to compute coronary artery flow from CCTA to use as boundary conditions for numerical models of coronary blood flow. ADFE uses image contrast variation along the tree-like structure to estimate flow in each vessel. For validating this method we used patient specific software phantoms on which the transport of contrast was simulated. This controlled validation setting enables a direct comparison between estimated flow and actual flow and a detailed investigation of factors affecting accuracy. A total of 10 CCTA image data sets were processed to extract all necessary information for simulating contrast transport. A spectral element method solver was used for computing the ground truth simulations with high accuracy. On this data set, the ADFE method showed a high correlation coefficient of 0.998 between estimated flow and the ground truth flow together with an average relative error of only 1 % . Comparing the ADFE method with the best method currently available (TAFE) for image-based blood flow estimation, which showed a correlation coefficient of 0.752 and average error of 20 % , it can be concluded that the ADFE method has the potential to significantly improve the quantification of coronary artery blood flow derived from contrast gradients in CCTA images.

Abstract
Objective: To explore a method for digitally designing and fabricating a sequential tooth-sectioning guide that can assist in the extraction of mandibular horizontal impacted third molars, preliminarily evaluate its feasibility and provide a reference for clinical application. Methods: Twenty patients with mandibular low level impacted third molars who visited the Department of General Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from March 2021 to January 2022 were selected. Cone-beam CT showed direct contact between the roots and mandibular canal, and full range impressions of the patients' intraoral teeth were taken and optical scans of the dental model were performed. The patients' cone-beam CT data and optical scan data were reconstructed in three dimensions, anatomical structure extraction, registration fusion, and the design of the structure of the guide (including crown-sectioning guide and root-sectioning guide) by Mimics 24.0, Geomagic Wrap 2021, and Magics 21.0 software, and then the titanium guide was three dimension printed, and the guide was tried on the dental model. After confirmation, the guide was used to assist the dentist in the operation. We observed whether the guide was in place, the number of tooth splitting, the matching of tooth splitting with the preoperative design, the operation time, and whether there were any complications. Results: In this study, 20 sectioning guides were successfully printed, all of them were well fitted in the patients' mouth, the average number of section was 3.4 times, the tooth parts was better matched with the preoperative design, and the average operative time of the guides was (29.2±9.8) minutes without complications such as perforation of the bone cortex. Conclusions: The use of sequential sectioning guides to assist in the extraction of mandibular impacted third molars was initially validated to accurately replicate the preoperative sectioning design, and is expected to provide a digital solution to improve surgical precision and ensure safety. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to evaluate its accuracy and safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively evaluate the trueness of five chairside three-dimensional facial scanning techniques, and to provide reference for the application of oral clinical diagnosis and treatment. METHODS The three-dimensional facial data of the subjects were collected by the traditional professional three-dimensional facial scanner Face Scan, which was used as the reference data of this study. Four kinds of portable three-dimensional facial scanners (including Space Spider, LEO, EVA and DS-FScan) and iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone (Bellus3D facial scanning APP) were used to collect three-dimensional facial data from the subjects. In Geomagic Studio 2013 software, through data registration, deviation analysis and other functions, the overall three-dimensional deviation and facial partition three-dimensional deviation of the above five chairside three-dimensional facial scanning technologies were calculated, and their trueness performance evaluated. Scanning time was recorded during the scanning process, and the subject's comfort was scored by visual analogue scale(VAS). The scanning efficiency and patient acceptance of the five three-dimensional facial scanning techniques were evaluated. RESULTS DS-FScan had the smallest mean overall and mean partition three-dimensional deviation between the test data and the reference data, which were 0.334 mm and 0.329 mm, respectively. The iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone had the largest mean overall and mean partition three-dimensional deviation between the test data and the reference data, which were 0.483 mm and 0.497 mm, respectively. The detailed features of the three-dimensional facial data obtained by Space Spider were the best. The iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone had the highest scanning efficiency and the highest acceptance by the subject. The average scanning time of the iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone was 14 s, and the VAS score of the subjects' scanning comfort was 9 points. CONCLUSION Among the five chairside three-dimensional face scanning technologies, the trueness of the scan data of the four portable devices had no significant difference, and they were all better than the iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone scan. The subject with the iPhone Ⅹ scanning technology had the best expe-rience.

Abstract
Diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) is a common complication in the lower urinary tract of diabetes. In recent years, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) have broad application prospects in the treatment of DBD. MSC can migrate to damaged bladder tissue and differentiate into various cell types, such as urothelial cells, myofibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and nerve cells, promote bladder tissue repair and regeneration through paracrine effects. In addition, MSC also intervene in the pathological process of DBD, reverse disease progression, and restore partial bladder function through immune regulation, improvement of oxidative stress, and regulation of blood glucose. At present, the treatment of DBD with MSC is limited to preclinical animal experiments, clinical research and application should be pursued further.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the establishment of an efficient and automatic method to determine anatomical landmarks in three-dimensional (3D) facial data, and to evaluate the effectiveness of this method in determining landmarks. Methods: A total of 30 male patients with tooth defect or dentition defect (with good facial symmetry) who visited the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from June to August 2021 were selected, and these participants' age was between 18-45 years. 3D facial data of patients was collected and the size normalization and overlap alignment were performed based on the Procrustes analysis algorithm. A 3D face average model was built in Geomagic Studio 2013 software, and a 3D face template was built through parametric processing. MeshLab 2020 software was used to determine the serial number information of 32 facial anatomical landmarks (10 midline landmarks and 22 bilateral landmarks). Five male patients with no mandibular deviation and 5 with mild mandibular deviation were selected from the Department of Orthodontics or Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from June to August 2021. 3D facial data of patients was collected as test data. Based on the 3D face template and the serial number information of the facial anatomical landmarks, the coordinates of 32 facial anatomical landmarks on the test data were automatically determined with the help of the MeshMonk non-rigid registration algorithm program, as the data for the template method to determine the landmarks. The positions of 32 facial anatomical landmarks on the test data were manually determined by the same attending physician, and the coordinates of the landmarks were recorded as the data for determining landmarks by the expert method. Calculated the distance value of the coordinates of facial anatomical landmarks between the template method and the expert method, as the landmark localization error, and evaluated the effect of the template method in determining the landmarks. Results: For 5 patients with no mandibular deviation, the landmark localization error of all facial anatomical landmarks by template method was (1.65±1.19) mm, the landmark localization error of the midline facial anatomical landmarks was (1.19±0.45) mm, the landmark localization error of bilateral facial anatomical landmarks was (1.85±1.33) mm. For 5 patients with mild mandibular deviation, the landmark localization error of all facial anatomical landmarks by template method was (2.55±2.22) mm, the landmark localization error of the midline facial anatomical landmarks was (1.85±1.13) mm, the landmark localization error of bilateral facial anatomical landmarks was (2.87±2.45) mm. Conclusions: The automatic determination method of facial anatomical landmarks proposed in this study has certain feasibility, and the determination effect of midline facial anatomical landmarks is better than that of bilateral facial anatomical landmarks. The effect of determining facial anatomical landmarks in patients without mandibular deviation is better than that in patients with mild mandibular deviation.

Abstract
Substance use, a significant public health issue, is well described in the adult chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. Knowledge about substance use in the adolescent and young adult (AYA) CKD population such as prevalence, impact on kidney function, medication adherence, and psychosocial well-being remain largely unknown. Awareness of and inquiring about substance use is paramount to providing evidence-based care and preparation to transition to adult-focused health services. The authors in this review identify commonly used substances (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, etc.) and how they impact kidney function and care of the AYA with CKD or kidney failure. Recommendations for screening and intervention strategies are provided.

Abstract
China is one of the countries with the highest disease burden of echinococcosis in the world. China's progress in echinococcosis control started with limited scientific research projects, followed by nationwide epidemiological surveys, and then launched a national echinococcosis control programme on the basis of a pilot intervention project. During this process, science-based control and technological innovations have been integrated into echinococcosis control in China. The concept and mechanism innovations-based echinococcosis control models and successful experiences in highly endemic foci promote the sustainable echinococcosis control achievements in China. In addition, the joint echinococcosis prevention and control and sharing of successful experiences with other echinococcosis-endemic countries will provide China's wisdom, China's strategy and China's contributions to global echinococcosis control and the health of human beings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the population dynamics and Echinococcus infections in small rodents around human settlement in Yushu City, Qinghai Province. METHODS Rodents were captured using the mouse trap method in pastures from Batang Township and Longbao Township of Yushu City, Qinghai Province on May, August and October, 2018. The body weight and snout-vent length of all captured rodents were measured, and the species was identified according to the rodent morphology. Genomic DNA was extracted from rodent liver specimens and lesion specimens, and the mitochondrial cox1 gene of Echinococcus was amplified using PCR assay for identification of parasite species. In addition, the tissue specimens positive for PCR assay were sampled for pathological examinations. The prevalence of Echinococcus infections was estimated in rodents, and a phylogenetic tree was created based on Echinococcus cox1 gene sequences. RESULTS A total of 285 small rodents were captured, including 143 Ochotona curzoniae (50.2%), 141 Lasiopodomys fuscus (49.5%), and 1 Neodon irene (0.3%), and there was a remarkable variation in habitat selection among these three rodent species. The number of L. fuscus correlated positively with vegetation coverage (r = 0.350, P = 0.264), with the greatest number seen in August, and the number of O. curzoniae negatively with vegetation coverage (r = -0.371, P = 0.235), with the highest number seen in August and the lowest number in May. The female/male ratios of O. curzoniae and voles were 1:0.96 and 0.82:1, respectively. The body weight (r = 0.519, P < 0.01) and snout-vent length (r = 0.578, P < 0.01) of O. curzoniae showed a tendency towards a rise with month, while the body weight (r = -0.401, P < 0.01) and snout-vent length (r = -0.570, P < 0.01) of voles presented a tendency towards a reduction with month. No Echinococcus infection was detected in voles, while 2.1% prevalence of E. shiquicus infection was seen in O. curzoniae. Phylogenetic analysis revealed consistent sequences of cox1 gene from E. shiquicus in Yushu City of Qinghai Province and Shiqu County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province. CONCLUSIONS The small rodents around the human settlement in Yushu City of Qinghai Province mainly include O. curzoniae and L. fuscus, with the greatest numbers seen in May and August, respectively. Following the concerted efforts for echinococcosis control, the prevalence of Echinococcus infections is low in small rodents around the human settlement in Yushu City; however, there is still a risk of echinococcosis transmission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eculizumab is approved for the treatment of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Its use off-label is frequently reported. The aim of this study was to describe the broader use and outcomes of a cohort of pediatric patients exposed to eculizumab. METHODS A retrospective, cohort analysis was performed on the clinical and biomarker characteristics of eculizumab-exposed patients < 25 years of age seen across 21 centers of the Pediatric Nephrology Research Consortium. Patients were included if they received at least one dose of eculizumab between 2008 and 2015. Traditional summary statistics were applied to demographic and clinical data. RESULTS A total of 152 patients were identified, mean age 9.1 (+/-6.8) years. Eculizumab was used "off-label" in 44% of cases. The most common diagnoses were aHUS (47.4%), Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli HUS (12%), unspecified thrombotic microangiopathies (9%), and glomerulonephritis (9%). Genetic testing was available for 60% of patients; 20% had gene variants. Dosing regimens were variable. Kidney outcomes tended to vary according to diagnosis. Infectious adverse events were the most common adverse event (33.5%). No cases of meningitis were reported. Nine patients died of noninfectious causes while on therapy. CONCLUSIONS This multi-center retrospective cohort analysis indicates that a significant number of children and young adults are being exposed to C5 blockade for off-label indications. Dosing schedules were highly variable, limiting outcome conclusions. Attributable adverse events appeared to be low. Cohort mortality (6.6%) was not insignificant. Prospective studies in homogenous disease cohorts are needed to support the role of C5 blockade in kidney outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Through 16S rDNA technology, we aimed at separating adults aging 20-50 years old into a few groups and processing the high-throughput sequencing analysis, in order to explore the features and differences of intestinal flora in each age group in a microcosmic perspective. PATIENTS AND METHODS 120 stool specimens were collected strictly in accordance with acceptance criteria and exclusion criteria. 49 subjects aging 20-29 years old (Group AGE1), 51 subjects aging 30-39 years old (Group AGE2), and 20 subjects aging 40-49 years old (Group AGE3) were divided into 3 groups. Bacteria DNA from fresh stool specimens of 3 groups were abstracted. Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing platform was applied to process 16S rDNA sequencing in Area 338F_806R for intestinal flora detection. I-Sanger Bio-cloud platform was applied for the analysis of intestinal flora structure changes in phylum level and genus level. RESULTS Among the age of 20-50, with older age, the abundance of intestinal flora decreased among healthy adults more than 40 years old. In addition, the diversity and sample dispersion of intestinal flora is significantly different from people among 20-40 years old. The decrease ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes indicated that as the age grows, glucose tolerance might decrease. Comparing with people among 20-40 years old, the amount of Bifidobacterium and Eubacterium in people over 40 years old have significantly decreased. The decrease of Bifidobacterium and Eubacterium may increase the risks of cognitive impairment and lower the anti-inflammation and anti-cancer efficacy in human body, respectively. Subdoligranulum relates to poor metabolism and chronic inflammation and it happens more in people aged over 40 than young people who are among 20-40 years old. CONCLUSIONS There are differences in the intestinal flora of healthy adults aged 20-50. Effective intervention of the intestinal flora may play a role in delaying aging and preventing diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the hospitalization cost and its influencing factors of imported malaria patients in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Yunnan Province, so as to provide insights into the evaluation of the economic burden due to imported malaria, and the guiding of malaria control and the rational allocation of medical resources. METHODS The data pertaining to the hospitalization costs of imported malaria patients admitted to Shanglin County People's Hospital in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region during the period from January 1 through December 31, 2019, and Tengchong Municipal People's Hospital in Yunnan Province from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019, were collected, and the epidemiological data of these imported malaria patients were extracted from the Information Management System for Parasitic Diseases Control and Prevention, China. The composition of the hospitalization expenses was analyzed using a descriptive method. In addition, the factors affecting the hospitalization expenses of imported malaria patients were identified using a univariate analysis and a recursive system model. RESULTS A total of 206 imported malaria patients were included in this study, including 194 men (94.17%) and 12 women (5.83%). The mean length of hospital stay was 5.00 days per patient and the median hospitalization expenses were 2 813.07 Yuan per time, in which the expenses for laboratory examinations were the highest (45.31%, 1 274.62/2 813.07). Univariate analysis showed that hospital (z = 5.43, P < 0.01), type of malaria (χ2 = 34.86, P < 0.01) and type of payment (χ2 = 7.72, P < 0.05) were factors affecting the hospitalization expenses of imported malaria patients. Recursion system modeling revealed that the total effects on hospitalization expenses of imported malaria patients included length of hospital stay (0.78), selection of hospital (0.34), basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents (0.19), new rural cooperative medical care (0.17), Plasmodium falciparum malaria (0.15), gender (0.11) and P. vivax malaria (0.09). CONCLUSIONS The hospitalization expenses of imported malaria patients are affected by multiple factors in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Yunnan Province, in which the length of hospital stay is the most predominant influencing factor. A reduction in the length of hospital stay is effective to decrease the hospitalization expenses of imported malaria patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a rapid nucleic acid detection technique for identification of Echinococcus multilocularis based on the recombinase aided isothermal amplification assay (RAA) and assess its diagnostic efficiency. METHODS The mitochondrial gene sequence of E. multilocularis (GenBank accession number: AB018440) was used as a target sequence. The primers were designed according to the RAA reaction principle and synthesized, and RAA was performed using the generated primers. E. multilocularis genomic DNA at various concentrations and the pMD19-T (Simple) vector containing various copies of the target gene fragment were amplified using RAA to evaluate its sensitivity for detection of E. multilocularis, and RAA was em- ployed to detect the genomic DNA of E. granulosus G1 genotype, Taenia saginata, T. asiatica, T. multiceps, Dipylidium caninum, Toxocara canis, Trichuris trichiura, Giardia lamblia, Fasciola hepatica, Paragonimus westermani, Fasciola gigantica and Clonorchis sinensis to evaluate its specificity. In addition, the optimized RAA was employed to detect nine tissue specimens of E. granulosus-infected animals, 3 fecal samples from E. granulosus-infected dogs and 2 fecal samples from field infected dogs to examine its reliability and feasibility. RESULTS The established RAA was able to detect the specific target gene fragment of E. multilocularis within 40 min. The lowest detect limit of RAA was 10 pg if E. multilocularis genomic DNA served as a template. If the re- combinant plasmid was used as a template, the minimally detectable copy number of RAA was 104. In addition, RAA was nega- tive for the genomic DNA of E. granulosus G1 genotype, T. saginata, T. asiatica, T. multiceps, D. caninum, T. canis, T. trichiura, G. lamblia, F. hepatica, P. westermani, F. gigantica and C. sinensis. The established RAA was positive for detection of the tissue specimens of infected animals, and simulated and field dog stool samples. CONCLUSIONS A rapid, sensitive and specific RAA is established, which shows promising values in identification of E. multilocularis and gene diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The previous study found that long non-coding RNA LINC00261 (LINC00261) was significantly down-regulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the function of LINC00261 in the progression of NSCLC has not been reported. The present work aimed to explore the prognostic value of LINC00261 in patients with NSCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of LINC00261 was determined in NSCLC tissues and matched normal lung tissues by quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Furthermore, we evaluated the relationship of LINC00261 and clinicopathological features with survival of patients with NSCLC. Finally, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to explore whether LINC00261 was an independent predictor of survival. RESULTS We found that the LINC00261 expression level in NSCLC tissues was suppressed compared with that in adjacent normal lung tissues (p < 0.01). Low expression of LINC00261 was found to significantly correlate with TNM stage (p = 0.005), lymph node status (p = 0.020), and distant metastasis (p = 0.004). Then, Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that low LINC00261 expression level was associated with poorer overall survival (p = 0.0013). Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that low expression of LINC00261 was an independent adverse prognostic factor of NSCLC (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS We firstly provided evidence that LINC00261 expression was associated with poor prognosis of NSCLC patients and may serve as an independent prognostic indicator.

Abstract
Abstract Objective To study the effect of overwork stress response on the expression of connexin 43(Cx43) and connexin 45(Cx45) in cardiomyocytes and on cardiac function. Methods The experimental animals were divided into control group, overworked 1-month group and overworked 2-month group. A overworked rat model was established by forcing swimming of overworked group. The expressions of Cx43 and Cx45 in myocardial tissues of experimental animals were detected by Western blotting, while the corresponding myocardial tissues were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson's staining, then histologically observed. Results Western blotting results showed that, compared with the control group, Cx43 expression in myocardial tissues of overworked rats decreased while Cx45 expression increased. HE staining and Masson's staining results showed that hypertrophy, rupture and interstitial fiber tissue hyperplasia were observed in myocardial fibers of overworked rats. Conclusion Overwork stress response may affect cardiac function as an independent factor and may even cause heart failure or arrhythmias and lead to death.

Abstract
Abstract "Karoshi" originates from Japan's economic take-off period in the 1960s and 1970s. It is generally believed that overwork lead to the accumulation of fatigue, which triggers the outbreak of potential diseases, and results in sudden death. Karoshi causes great harm to both the community and families because it occurs primarily in 30 to 60 year old young adults. Japan put Karoshi into the category of industrial injury for the first time in 2001 and started to undertake a series of studies in the sociological and pathological fields. However, there is a tremendous gap in the forensic pathological diagnosis domain. In China, research on Karoshi started from the 1990s and is closely related to the reform and opening up policy as well as economic development. According to the incomplete statistics, 600 thousand people die from overwork each year in China, the highest in the world. Karoshi has become one of the most serious social problems in China at the present stage, thus a systematic study in the sociology and forensic pathology fields is urgently required. This paper summarizes the past and present status of Karoshi, and puts forward the problems that need attention during the judicial expertise of Karoshi from forensic pathology perspective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study tested whether galcanezumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody with efficacy against migraine, was superior to placebo for the treatment of mild or moderate osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain. METHOD In a multicenter, double-blind, placebo- and celecoxib-controlled trial, patients with moderate to severe OA pain were randomized to placebo; celecoxib 200 mg daily for 16 weeks; or galcanezumab 5, 50, 120, and 300 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks, twice. The primary outcome was change from baseline at Week 8 in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscore measured by 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS). The trial was considered positive if ≥1 dose of galcanezumab demonstrated ≥95% Bayesian posterior probability of superiority to placebo and ≥50% posterior probability of superiority to placebo by ≥9 mm. A planned interim analysis allowed termination of the study if posterior probability of superiority to placebo by ≥9 mm was ≤5%. Secondary endpoints included WOMAC function subscore and Patient Global Assessment (PGA) of OA. Safety and tolerability were also assessed. RESULTS The study was terminated after interim analysis suggested inadequate efficacy. Celecoxib significantly reduced WOMAC pain subscore compared with placebo [-12.0 mm; 95% confidence interval (CI) -23 to -2 mm]. None of the galcanezumab arms demonstrated clinically meaningful improvement (range: 1.5 to -5.0 mm) or met the prespecified success criteria. No improvement in any secondary objective was observed. Galcanezumab was well tolerated by OA patients. CONCLUSIONS This study failed to demonstrate sufficient statistical evidence that galcanezumab was efficacious for treating OA knee pain. STUDY IDENTIFICATION NCT02192190.

Abstract
After reconstruction of a segmental mandibular defect with a fibular free flap, a vascular crisis can be detected clinically and a "no-flow" phenomenon found during re-exploration. Traditional methods used to solve this include removal of the failed flap and delayed mandibular reconstruction, or restoration of the defect with a functional reconstruction plate or contralateral fibular free flap. Our aim therefore was to investigate under what circumstances it is feasible to use a non-vascularised fibular bone graft (NVFB) as a free bone graft after the failure of a vascularised fibular free flap. From 1 January 2010-31 December 2014, 10 patients who had NVFB after failure of a fibular free flap were included in the study. All patients were treated at the Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. NVFB were preserved successfully without infection in all 10 cases, and follow-up imaging showed that it had incorporated well with the residual mandible, the basic function and facial aesthetics of which were maintained. In conclusion we have identified that by precise selection of patients, detailed preoperative planning, and meticulous postoperative care, NVFB can be used as a "rescue" technique after failure of a fibular free flap, and can successfully restore the segmental mandibular defect and facial contour.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential effect of 3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) pretreatment on the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats and the relevant mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 90 rats was divided into three groups: Sham operation group (Sham group), ischemia-reperfusion group (I-R group), and NBP pretreatment group (NBP group 75 mg·kg-1·d-1 gavage). Pre-treatment was given once a day within 1 week before establishing the rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MACO) rat models were established with the improved Longa-Zea method on the 7th day after ischemia for 2 h and reperfusion for 24 h in all the rats. We detected the cerebral infarction, the pathologic change of brain, the apoptosis of nerve cell, the production levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the content of malonaldehyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), the water content and the permeability of blood-brain barriers (BBB). In addition, we also observed the expressions of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK, p-38, JNK, ERK1/2) and cleaved caspase-3 in the hippocampus tissues. RESULTS Compared with Sham group, we discovered that NBP significantly reduced infarction area, cell apoptosis, BBB damage and water content. Further, we found that NBP could also decrease ROS and MDA, and increase SOD activity in brain tissues of rats with a cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Moreover, results showed that NBP also inhibited the levels p38 and JNK. CONCLUSIONS NBP protected the cerebral from I/R injury, providing ideas for the expansion of clinical adaptability of NBP and possible approaches for its application.

Abstract
Facial symmetry is a crucial component of human facial esthetics. Along with the increasing pursuit of aesthetic, in recent years, more and more researchers have focused on facial asymmetry assessment, of which determining the facial median sagittal plane is the first and most important step, and it will directly affect the accuracy of asymmetry evaluation and clinical treatment outcome. Limited by technical means, the earlier studies of facial soft tissue asymmetry assessment were mainly based on midline from two-dimensional (2D) images. Along with the development of three-dimensional (3D) measurement and data analysis techniques, new methods such as 3D landmark-based method and mirror-original alignment method have become main trend nowadays. This article systematically reviews the methods of determination of median sagittal plane of facial soft tissue, elaborates the developments and the latest research progress in this field, and discusses the advantages and limitations of each method in order to provide reference for clinical application.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Deconvolution of multi-nodal perturbations in cancer network architecture demands highly multiplexed profiling assays. We demonstrate the value of polyligand profiling of tumor systems states using libraries of single stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ssODN) to distinguish between tumor tissue from breast cancer patients who did or did not derive benefit from treatment regimens containing trastuzumab.
Methods: This study included cases from women with invasive breast cancer who received chemotherapy+ trastuzumab (C+T) or trastuzumab monotherapy with available retrospective data on the time to next treatment (TTNT). A library of 2x1012 unique ssODN was exposed to FFPE tissues from patients who benefited (B) or not (NB) from trastuzumab-based regimens in several rounds of positive and negative selection. Two enriched libraries were screened on independent set of 42 B and 19 NB cases using a modified IHC protocol for detection of bound ssODNs. Poly-Ligand Profiles (PLP) were scored by a blinded pathologist. Two libraries, EL-NB and EL-B, showed significant p-values between groups of responders and non-responders. A Cox-PH model was fitted using either tumors' HER2 status or PLP test results as the independent variable. Median survival time was calculated from the Kaplan-Meier estimate. A separate group of 63 cases with TTNT data from chemotherapy without trastuzumab was used as a control to distinguish prognostic from predictive performance.
Results: The PLP scores of EL-NB and EL-B were assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and resulted in a combined AUC value of 0.81. EL-NB and EL-B were able to effectively classify B and NB patients with either HER2-negative/equivocal (AUC = 0.73) or HER2-positive cancers (AUC = 0.84). In contrast, HER2 status alone yielded an AUC value of 0.47. The combined PLP scores for the independent set of 63 patients treated with C excluding trastuzumab resulted in an AUC value of 0.53, indicating that the assay was predictive and not simply prognostic. Kaplan-Meier curves analysis shows that PLP+ cases have 429 days median TTNT, while PLP- cases have 129 days (HR = 0.38, log-rank p = 0.001). Analysis based on HER2 status showed no significant difference in TTNT between patients that were HER2+ (280 days) or HER2-negative/equivocal (336 days, HR = 1.27, log-rank p =0.45).
Summary: Performance of the PLP assay in differentiating patients who did or did not benefit from trastuzumab therapy outperforms the standard IHC assay for HER2 status. These results represent a promising step towards the development of a CDx to identify the 50-70% of HER2+ patients who will not benefit from trastuzumab. In addition, PLP also has the potential to identify the HER2-negative/equivocal patients who may benefit from trastuzumab-containing regimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urinary tract dilation (UTD) is a commonly diagnosed prenatal condition; however, it is currently unknown which features lead to benign and resolving or pathologic abnormalities. A consensus UTD classification system (antenatal UTD classification, UTD-A) was created by Nguyen et al. in 2014 [1], but has not yet been validated. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability of the UTD-A system to identify kidney and urinary tract (KUT) abnormalities, assess whether UTD-A can predict severity of KUT conditions, and perform a cost analysis of screening ultrasound (US). METHODS A retrospective single-center study was conducted at an academic medical center. Inclusion criteria were: neonates in the well or sick nursery who had a complete abdominal or limited renal US performed in the first 30 days of life between January 01, 2011 and December 31, 2013. Data were collected on prenatal US characteristics from which UTD-A classification was retrospectively applied, and postnatal data were collected up to 2 years following birth. RESULTS A total of 203 patients were identified. Of the 36 abnormal postnatal KUT diagnoses, 90% were identified prenatally as UTD A1 or UTD A2-3. The remaining 10% developed postnatal KUT abnormalities due to myelomeningocele, such as VUR or UTD, which were not evident prenatally. Overall sensitivity and specificity of the UTD-A system was 0.767 (95% CI 0.577, 0.901) and 0.836 (95% CI 0.758, 0.897), respectively, when resolved UTD was counted as a normal diagnosis. Postnatal diagnoses differed by UTD-A classification as shown in the Summary fig. Of all the obstructive uropathies, 90.9% occurred in the UTD A2-3 class and none occurred in UTD-A Normal. Rate of postnatally resolved UTD was significantly higher in the UTD A1 group (78%) compared with UTD A2-3 (31%) or UTD-A Normal (12%, all P < 0.001). There was a notable trend towards more UT surgeries, UTI, and positive VUR among UTD A2-3 patients, but statistical significance was limited by a small number of patients. CONCLUSIONS This study found that the UTD-A classification system revealed important differences in the severity of UTD abnormalities. With repeated validation in larger cohorts, the UTD-A classification may be used to offer a prognosis for parents regarding prenatally diagnosed KUT conditions. Larger prospective studies should be designed to validate whether the UTD-A system can predict postnatal events related to UTD morbidity such as need for UT-related surgery or UTI.

Abstract
Echinococcus multilocularis is a tiny devastating worm that causes alveolar echinococcosis in humans. This disease mainly occurs in the liver but rarely in other organs. We report the subcutaneous encystment of E. multilocularis metacestodes in experimentally infected mice. Subcutaneous cysts had remarkably fewer protoscoleces (2.05 ± 1.47, n = 20) and small irregular-shape vesicles (ISVs) in the lumen as compared to liver cysts (69.6 ± 55.65, n = 10). Moreover, abnormal development of a protoscolex was also observed in a subcutaneous cyst. The results suggest that subcutaneous encystment may have potential adverse effects on the reproductivity and development of protoscoleces, providing potential explanations for high tissue preference of metacestode encystment.

Abstract
In order to understand the epidemiological status of alveolar and cystic echinococcosis in intermediate and definitive hosts in Qinghai Province, China, during the period 2007-2011, we investigated the infection in humans and animals, including yaks, Tibetan sheep, Tibetan dogs, and wild foxes distributed in different counties around the province. Sera from local residents were examined using a rapid serodiagnostic kit to detect specific antibodies against Echinococcus. Seropositive samples were confirmed with B-scan ultrasonography and X-ray examinations. Yaks and Tibetan sheep were checked at slaughterhouses, and cysts and suspicious lesions were collected for analysis. A rapid diagnostic strip was used to detect Echinococcus adults in Tibetan dogs. Positive dogs were dewormed and the parasites collected. Wild foxes were trapped and necropsies performed with particular attention to the intestine. Forty-eight of 735 (6.4%) humans tested were positive and 475 of 854 (55.6%) Tibetan sheep and 85 of 352 (24.15%) yaks were infected with Echinococcus. Across different counties, 214 of 948 (22.57%) Tibetan dogs were positive, and five of 36 (13.9%) wild foxes were infected with Echinococcus. Molecular studies showed that all the infections detected in humans, domestic yaks, and Tibetan sheep were the G1 genotype (E. granulosus), whereas the parasites from Tibetan foxes and Tibetan dogs were E. shiquicus and E. multilocularis, respectively. In conclusion, Echinococcosis is hyperendemic in Qinghai Province in both its intermediate and definitive hosts and the G1 genotype of cystic Echinococcus is the dominant strain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of Plasmodium ovale in 2011-2014 for malaria control policy making during the phase of malaria elimination in China. METHODS The data of individual Plasmodium ovale case (probable and confirmed) and population during 20011-2014 were collated from China National Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting Information System, and the data of epidemiological investigation for individual Plasmodium ovale case (imported and indigenous) during 2011-2014 were collected from China Parasite Disease Prevention and Control Information System. All of the data didn't include China's Hongkong, Macao, Taiwan and foreign cases. The epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis and reporting were compared and analyzed. RESULTS During study period of 2011-2014, a total of 373 Plasmodium ovale imported cases were reported, with male being 98.4% and median age being 40 years old. Jiangsu (100 cases), Guangxi (76 cases), Henan (55 cases), Anhui (28 cases) and Shandong(18 cases) reported Plasmodium ovale imported cases ranked the top 5 place in the list. Totally 182 counties from 21 provinces were reported Plasmodium ovale imported cases. 94.6% of ovale malaria imported cases (353/373) got infected from African countries and comprehensive hospitals, CDCs and hospital of infectious disease reported 40.0%, 37.8%, and 16.6% of Plasmodium ovale imported cases, respectively. 4 days of median time lag of Plasmodium ovale imported cases from date of onset to diagnosis was longer than 3 days. CONCLUSION From 2011 to 2014, the rising number of Plasmodium ovale imported cases reported from wilder scope of China. Diagnosis time lag of Plasmodium ovale was longer than that of other Plasmodium. Diagnosis and prompt treatment of Plasmodium ovale imported cases and relapse case should be highlighted.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare subtype of breast carcinoma less responsive to conventional chemotherapy relative to usual breast carcinomas (UBCs) such as ductal and lobular subtype. In molecular terms MBC usually clusters with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), but MBCs portray a worse prognosis in comparison to TNBCs. Published studies investigating MBCs for specific biomarkers of therapy response are rare and limited by the methodological approaches.
Methods: This study included 132 patients with 38 histologically confirmed MBCs and 94 UBCs. Amongst the 94 UBCSs, 44 were estrogen receptor positive, 33 were triple negative and 17 were HER2 positive. Direct sequencing analysis was performed on genomic DNA isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) using the Illumina MiSeq Next Generation Sequencing platform (NGS). Immunohistochemistry for PD-L1 (SP142, Spring Bioscience), PD-1 (NAT105, Ventana) and EGFR (31G7, Life Technologies) was performed using automated procedures. Additionally, mutation analysis for EGFRvIII was performed on RNA extracted from FFPE tissue.
Results: At the genomic level, numerous cases of MBC had multiple genomic alterations with the most frequent genetic mutation in TP53 gene (14/24), similar to the TNBC controls (17/33). BRCA1 mutations were detected in 2/10 cases. Potentially actionable mutations were rare and included PIK3CA gene. Importantly, PD-L1 expression on cancer cells was detected in significantly higher proportion of MBCs (37%) than in the UBC cohort (6%) or TNBC control (14%) (p=3.7x10-5 and p=0.03, respectively). PD-1 positive tumors infiltrating lymphocytes (TILS) varied greatly in MBC (0 to >50/mm2). Over-expression of EGFR was frequent in MBCs (62%); however no mutations in the gene including EGFRvIII were detected.
Conclusion: Comprehensive profiling of a large cohort of this rare carcinoma highlighted predominance of TP53 mutations, wild type EGFR gene expression, a distinct increase in proportion of PD-L1 expression in carcinoma cells, and PD-1 expression in TILS. The latter properties can be exploited in clinical trials utilizing immune check point inhibitors.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction:
Breast cancer screening relies upon mammography, but for women with dense breast tissue this method is often uninformative. Routine screening identifies suspicious breast lesions in some women, but the pain and risk associated with follow-up biopsies along with the poor accuracy of traditional histopathology urgently call for improved approaches to breast cancer screening. This is especially important for those high-risk patients for whom mammography is of limited value. We describe a non-invasive liquid biopsy method of profiling plasma exosome preps designed to improve the accuracy and safety of breast cancer screening for women with dense breast tissue.
Results:
We incubated plasma samples (300 microliters per sample) from breast cancer patients (n=60) and a control cohort (n=60) with a high-complexity DNA aptamer library using a modified SELEX scheme, termed “adaptive dynamic artificial poly-ligand targeting (ADAPTTM)”. Differentially bound (cancer vs. non-cancer) aptamers were recovered from precipitated exosomes and were identified by deep sequencing. Two thousand aptamer sequences were resynthesized and used to probe a larger set of 500 plasma samples from a patient cohort (n=206) and a control cohort comprised of self-reported healthy volunteers (n=117) and patients whose biopsies led to a diagnosis of non-cancer (n=177). We employed several statistical models to build a cancer/non-cancer predictor, including a Random Generalized Linear Model (RGLM) and a Random Forest Model (RFM). Both models yielded an equivalent classification performance with areas under the receiver-operator characteristic curve (ROC AUC) of 0.7. Testing the prediction performance by 100 Out-of-Bag permutations or by pre-filtered (read cutoff and estimated sample size) cross-validation (CV) resulted in ROC AUC values of 0.66 and 0.62, respectively. When samples were randomly assigned to groups, the aptamers were no longer able to distinguish the groups (ROC AUC = 0.54), indicating that the underlying information driving the model is truly specific to cancer. Importantly, incorporation of BIRAD results as a clinical covariate did not influence model performance, signifying that predictions by ADAPTTM were independent of breast tissue density.
Conclusions:
We have identified a set of 2000 DNA aptamers that distinguish women with breast cancer from women without breast cancer. Our liquid biopsy approach requires only 300 microliters of plasma and is amenable to high-throughput processing. By employing a number of statistical approaches including rigorous cross-validation, we consistently achieve cross validation ROC AUC values approaching 0.7. The performance of the predictor was not affected by BIRAD scores, supporting its potential utility in difficult cases where imaging is insufficient, such as in women with dense breast tissue. Further optimization of the aptamer library and testing on additional samples should improve performance. Upon complete validation, an ADAPTTM – derived breast cancer test may serve as a vital diagnostic adjunct that can be easily incorporated into standard clinical practice.

Abstract
Larvae (maggots) of Cochliomyia hominivorax, the New World Screwworm fly, are voracious consumers of living flesh that have a negative economic impact by decreasing productivity, predisposing to other pathogens, and, in severe cases, causing death of domestic livestock. Screwworm caused extensive financial losses to the livestock industry in North America prior to its eradication. Sterile insect technique (SIT) was used to eradicate screwworm throughout North and Central America and continues to be the main tool to control it in eastern Panama. The goal of this study was to evaluate the temporal and spatial trends of screwworm myiasis cases reported in the Province of Darien and Comarca Embera (border with Colombia), Panama, from 2001 to 2011. We hypothesized that screwworm cases would vary seasonally and be spatially clustered near Colombia as a result of effective eradication strategies in Panama and the presence of an autochthonous population of flies in western Colombia. Temporal and spatial data were retrieved from COPEG-USDA records (Panama) and analysed by anova, Ripley's K function, discrete Poisson spatial statistic scan and Getis-Ord Gi*. No significant temporal trend was found, but cases were spatially distributed in four clusters. One cluster of cases occurred from 2001 to 2003 and was considered a focal temporal and spatial cluster. One cluster occurred in 2001 and 2007 indicating more rare outbreaks in an area with fewer cattle. The two remaining clusters contained cases from 2004 to 2011 and 2001 to 2011 suggesting regular breaks in the control barrier due to occasional failures of the SIT programme, difficulties implementing border quarantine strategies, livestock smuggling or the movement of infested wildlife.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) threatens animal health and leads to considerable economic losses worldwide. Progress towards minimizing both veterinary and financial impact of the disease will be made with targeted disease control policies. To move towards targeted control, specific targets and detailed control strategies must be defined. One approach for identifying targets is to use mathematical and simulation models quantified with accurate and fine-scale data to design and evaluate alternative control policies. Nevertheless, published models of FMDV vary in modelling techniques and resolution of data incorporated. In order to determine which models and data sources contain enough detail to represent realistic control policy alternatives, we performed a systematic literature review of all FMDV dynamical models that use host data, disease data or both data types. For the purpose of evaluating modelling methodology, we classified models by control strategy represented, resolution of models and data, and location modelled. We found that modelling methodology has been well developed to the point where multiple methods are available to represent detailed and contact-specific transmission and targeted control. However, detailed host and disease data needed to quantify these models are only available from a few outbreaks. To address existing challenges in data collection, novel data sources should be considered and integrated into models of FMDV transmission and control. We suggest modelling multiple endemic areas to advance local control and global control and better understand FMDV transmission dynamics. With incorporation of additional data, models can assist with both the design of targeted control and identification of transmission drivers across geographic boundaries.

Abstract
Identifying potential adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is critically important for drug discovery and public health. Here we developed a multiple evidence fusion (MEF) method for the large-scale prediction of drug ADRs that can handle both approved drugs and novel molecules. MEF is based on the similarity reference by collaborative filtering, and integrates multiple similarity measures from various data types, taking advantage of the complementarity in the data. We used MEF to integrate drug-related and ADR-related data from multiple levels, including the network structural data formed by known drug–ADR relationships for predicting likely unknown ADRs. On cross-validation, it obtains high sensitivity and specificity, substantially outperforming existing methods that utilize single or a few data types. We validated our prediction by their overlap with drug–ADR associations that are known in databases. The proposed computational method could be used for complementary hypothesis generation and rapid analysis of potential drug–ADR interactions.
