Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an acute, severe, and highly contagious infectious disease caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), which seriously endangers the development of animal husbandry. The inactivated FMD vaccine is the main product for the prevention and control of FMD, which has been successfully applied to control the pandemic and outbreak of FMD. However, the inactivated FMD vaccine also has problems, such as the instability of antigen, the risk of spread of the virus due to incomplete inactivation during vaccine production, and the high cost of production. Compared with traditional microbial and animal bioreactors, production of antigens in plants through transgenic technology has some advantages including low cost, safety, convenience, and easy storage and transportation. Moreover, since antigens produced from plants can be directly used as edible vaccines, no complex processes of protein extraction and purification are required. But, there are some problems for the production of antigens in plants, which include low expression level and poor controllability. Thus, expressing the antigens of FMDV in plants may be an alternative mean for production of FMD vaccine, which has certain advantages but still need to be continuously optimized. Here we review the main strategies for expressing active proteins in plants, as well as the research progress on the expression of FMDV antigens in plants. We also discuss the current problems and challenges encountered, with the aim to facilitate related research.

Objective::To evaluate the agreement and reliability of intrapartum nonreasurring cardiotocography (CTG) interpretation and prediction of neonatal acidemia by obstetricians working in different centers.Methods::A retrospective cohort study involving two tertiary hospitals (The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and Perking University Third Hospital) was conducted between 30 th September 2018 and 1 st April 2019. Six obstetricians from two hospitals with three levels of experience (junior, medium, and senior) reviewed 100 nonreassuring fetal heart rate (FHR) tracings from 1 hour before the onset of abnormalities until delivery. Each reviewer determined the FHR pattern, the baseline, variability, and presence of acceleration, deceleration, sinusoidal pattern, and predicted whether neonatal acidemia and abnormal umbilical arterial pH < 7.1 would occur. Inter-observer agreement was assessed using the proportions of agreement (Pa) and the proportion of specific agreement (Pa for each category). Reliability was evaluated with the kappa statistic (k-Light’s kappa for n raters) and Gwet’s AC1 statistic. Results::Good inter-observer agreement was found in evaluation of most variables (Pa>0.5), with the exception of early deceleration (Pa= 0.39, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.36,0.43). Reliability was also good among most variables (AC1 > 0.40), except for acceleration, early deceleration, and prediction of neonatal acidemia (AC1 = 0.17, 0.10, and 0.25, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences among the three groups, except in the identification of accelerations (Pa = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.83,0.95; Pa= 0.50, 95% CI: 0.41,0.60, and Pa= 0.35, 95% CI: 0.25,0.43 in junior, medium and senior groups, respectively) and the prediction of neonatal acidemia (Pa= 0.52, 0.52, and 0.62 in junior, medium and senior groups, respectively), where agreement was highest and lowest in the junior-level group, respectively. The accuracy and sensitivity of the prediction for umbilical artery pH < 7.1 were similar among the three groups, but the specificity was higher in the senior groups (93.68% vs. 92.53% vs. 98.85% in junior, medium and senior groups, P= 0.015). Conclusion::Although we found a good inter-observer agreement in the evaluation of the most basic CTG features and FHR category statistically, it was insufficient to meet the clinical requirements for "no objection" interpretation for FHR tracings. Further specialized training is needed for standardized interpretation of intrapartum FHR tracings.

Objective:To evaluate the significance of S1 posterior edge inlet view for placement of percutaneous sacroiliac screws.Methods:1. CT data of the pelvis were collected from 134 normal adults and introduced into Mimics Medical 21.0 system. Anatomical parameters of sacral vertebrae were measured and analyzed to observe the anatomical disparities between the anterior and posterior edges of S1 vertebral body. A mathematical model was established using the data acquired. 2. Manual placement of sacroiliac screws was performed using a conventional S1 posterior edge inlet view on the pelvic specimens from 5 adult cadavers in simulation of actual surgical situations. After placement, the inlet views from both the S1 anterior and posterior edges were taken to observe the imaging differences and to check if the screws had pierced the sacral canal. 3. A retrospective study was conducted of the 11 patients with posterior pelvic ring fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics, Tongji Hospital from January 2019 to October 2020. Their fractures were fixated by percutaneous sacroiliac screws under the guidance of a C-arm X-ray machine. The manual placement of the screws was guided intraoperatively by the inlet views from both the S1 anterior and posterior edges to secure a safe placement. Pelvic CT examinations were performed to check any screw dislocation.Results:1. CT measurements in the normal adults showed that the angle of S1 anterior edge inlet view (20.71°±11.89°) was smaller than that of S1 posterior edge inlet view (41.99°±11.67°) and the width of S1 upper end plate [(32.22±3.41) mm] greater than that of S1 lower end plate [(20.10±3.28) mm], showing significant disparities in anatomy between the anterior and posterior edges of S1 vertebral body ( P<0.05). 2. In 2 of the 5 cadaveric specimens, imaging differences were observed between the inlet views of the anterior and posterior edges of S1 and the screws pierced out of the sacral canal. 3. Satisfactory closed reduction was achieved in all the 11 patients. A total of 17 screws were placed, with 12 ones into S1 and 5 ones into S2. Operation time ranged from 84 to 141 min (average, 114.4 min), fluoroscopy frequency from 69 to 101 times (average, 89.6 times), and intraoperative blood loss from 110 to 463 mL(average, 296.6 mL). No screw dislocation was observed on postoperative CT. Conclusion:As there is a difference between the inlet views of the anterior and posterior edges of S1 vertebral body, the inlet view of the posterior edge of S1 can display the posterior edge of S1 more clearly so as to improve the safety of placement of percutaneous sacroiliac screws.
