Objective:To dynamically describe the drug concentration change in different time in vivo to understand the in vivo be-havior patterns and rules of drugs, provide reference for performing individual treatment and avoiding adverse drug reactions and lay foundation for dynamic description of physiological pharmacokinetic model. Methods:A two-compartment model was established using Simulink dynamic simulation and used in curve fitting and parameter estimation. The results from the model were compared with those from 3P97 software. Results:There was no significant difference between the results from the dynamic model and those from 3P97 soft-ware. Conclusion:The dynamic model can be used to dynamically simulate two-compartment model for oral administration. The re-sults from the dynamic simulation are more direct, and can correct the fitting error in 3P97 software.

Objective: Foodborne parasitic diseases, although with a declining overall incidence rate, are still endangering local public safety. This review aims to describe the current situation and epidemiological trends of foodborne parasitic diseases in China in order to explore possible reasons contributors to its high prevalence in some areas, and propose strategies for prevention and control accordingly. Methods: A scoping review was conducted by searching PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang, CQVIP, Embase, and the Cochrane Library using search formula “foodborne parasitic diseases (or foodborne parasites)” AND “China”. Studies on foodborne parasitic diseases in China were considered, but only articles in English or Chinese published between January 1980 and June 2020 were retrieved. Included studies were screened according to the eligibility criteria: 1) diseases consistent with the WHO definition of foodborne parasitic diseases; 2) the food carriers were included in the WHO food classification; 3) data related to epidemiology, pathogenicity, and prevention and control; 4) Foodborne parasitic diseases cases or outbreaks in China. Results: A total of 111 out of 665 records were included and summarized. The prevalence of clonorchiasis, angiostrongyliasis, echinococcosis, trichinellosis and cysticercosis was still increasing although the infection rate of soil-transmitted nematodes has substantially decreased in recent years. Diverse eating habits, close contact with animals, and urbanization were contributing factors to the increase. Conclusions: Foodborne parasitic diseases remain an important public health issue in China with the progress of economic globalization and food diversification. We should manage to raise public awareness about the prevention and control of foodborne parasitic diseases, improve health and safety inspections, as well as public health practice.
