Abstract
Hepatic cystic echinococcosis is a chronic parasitic disease caused by the infection with the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus in human or animal liver tissues. As a chronic active infectious disease, tuberculous empyema mainly invades the pleural space and then causes visceral and parietal pleura thickening. It is rare to present comorbidity for hepatic cystic echinococcosis and tuberculous empyema. This case report presents a case of hepatic cystic echinococcosis complicated with tuberculous empyema misdiagnosed as hepatic and pulmonary cystic echinococcosis, aiming to improve clinicians' ability to distinguish this disorder.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs), a type of antigen-presenting cells (APC), are recognized as an important regulator of immune response and immune tolerance, and play a critical role in the host innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Previous studies have shown that the long-term parasization of Echinococcus in the host is strongly associated with the host immune tolerance induced by DCs. This review summarizes the research progress of the role of DCs in host immune tolerance caused Echinococcus infection, aiming to provide the theoretical basis and insights into the management and immunotherapy of Echinococcus infections.

Abstract
Using a nonequilibrium Green function approach, we systematically investigate the current induced spin polarization (CISP) in a two-dimensional heavy-hole system with cubic Rashba spin-orbit coupling, driven by in-plane electric and magnetic fields. We find that when a magnetic field is applied along the direction of electric field, the longitudinal conductivity drops monotonously with an increase of magnetic-field strength or of hole density. The spin polarization along the electric-field direction is just the Pauli paramagnetism and it quadratically increases with an increase of hole density. The nonvanishing out-of-plane component of spin polarization emerges for both short-range and long-range disorders, and it changes sign with the variation of magnetic field, especially for long-range hole-impurity scattering. In the magnetic-field dependences of this out-of-plane CISP and of the in-plane CISP perpendicular to the electric field, there are singular magnetic fields, below or above which the effects of magnetic field are completely different.
