Objective To establish an index system of the key factors of elimination of schistosomiasis. Methods A ques?tionnaire was designed based on the reference review,and 24 scientists working in the field of schistosomiasis control or re?search or management were investigated by using the Delphi method. The importance of each index reflecting the endemicity of schistosomiasis was scored by each scientist. The assessing system for key factors of eliminating schistosomiasis was established , and the normalized weight and combined weight were calculated. Results The assessing system included three indexes in the first grade,seven indexes in the second grade and thirteen indexes in the third grade. Among the indexes in the first grade,the normalized weights of endemicity,natural environment and social environment were 0.371 1,0.339 5,and 0.289 4,respective?ly. Among the indexes in the second grade,the economy showed the highest combined weight of 0.289 4 while the agriculture and sanitation both showed the lowest score of 0.112 7. Among the indexes in the third grade,the infection rate of animals showed the highest combined weight of 0.124 6 while the agriculture and plant structure both showed the lowest score of 0.053 0. Conclusion The indexes of the assessing system provide the scientific evidence for surveillance work when elimination of schis?tosomiasis.

Parkinson's disease with depression belongs to the category of "tremor syndrome" and "depression syndrome" of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its syndrome characteristics and distribution are different from simple tremor syndrome and depression syndrome. Its neuroplastic mechanism involves dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Parkinson's disease and depression have common neuro-biological mechanisms. Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment of Parkinson's disease with depression may have a dual regulation effect.

DNA methylation studies the natural modification of DNA that occurs when the nucleotide sequence is unchanged. At present, DNA methylation is used in the field of biomedicine to focus on the characteristics and regularity of disease-wide genome methylation and the DNA methylation biomarkers for disease. Based on the systematic review of DNA methylation research techniques, this paper summarizes and analyzes the current status of DNA methylation technology in basic research of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) syndromes, and a suggestion to screen the TCM syndrome biomarkers from whole genome DNA methylation is proposed.

Objective:
To analyze the CT and MRI manifestations of undifferentiated hepatic embryonal sarcoma in adults with an aim to improve the preoperative diagnosis of this disease.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was carried out on the clinical data of 11 patients with undifferentiated hepatic embryonal sarcoma treated in Wenzhou People’s Hospital of Zhejiang and Wenzhou Central Hospital of Zhejiang between January 2008 and December 2018. There were 5 males and 6 females. The age ranged from 46 to 76 years (median 64 years). The site, size, morphology, margin, and pattern and degree of enhancement of the tumors were analyzed.
Results:
Among the 11 patients, 10 patients had a single tumor, only 1 patient had multiple tumors. A total of seven patients' tumors were located in the right liver, 2 in the left liver, and 2 involved both the left and right livers. The maximum diameter of the tumors ranged from 5.5 cm to 21.2 cm, the maximum diameter (10.2±4.8 cm). The edge of tumors was clear in 9 patients and unclear in 2 patients. The tumors were elliptical in 4 patients or irregular in 7 patients. Plain CT scan showed 4 patients' tumors had mainly a cystic component, while 5 patients had both cystic and solid components. Plain MRI scan showed that five tumors were cystic and solid, with mixed internal signals. T1 weighted imaging (T1WI) showed slightly lower and lower signals; T2 weighted imaging (T2WI) showed slightly higher and higher signals. There was a low signal stripe separating inside; Diffusion-weighted imaging showed a high signal and apparent diffusion coefficient showed a low signal. The enhancement was characterized by "fast in and fast out" (marked enhancement in the arterial phase and fast clearance in the venous phase), and "delayed enhancement" (mild to moderate enhancement in the arterial phase and even more obvious enhancement in the venous or delayed phase).
Conclusion
Adult undifferentiated embryonic sarcoma has certain CT and MRI features. Its shape is elliptical or irregular, and mostly with a clear boundary. There were intratumoral cystic or cystic solid components, with mixed density/signal on CT and MRI, being characterized by "fast in and fast out" and "delayed enhancement" on intravenous contrast enhanced scans.
