Objective:To observe the imaging features of extramacular retinoschisis (EMRS) and paravascular abnormalities (PVA) in myopic patients, and preliminary analyze the differences in age, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalent (SE), axial length (AL), and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT).Methods:A cross-sectional clinical study. A total of 60 myopia patients with EMRS who were admitted to Department of Ophthalmology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2023 to June 2024 were included in the study. There were 18 male cases with 18 eyes and 42 female cases with 42 eyes. Age was (37.57±17.14) years; SE was (-10.76±4.66) D; AL was (28.36±1.87) mm. According to the characteristics of ultra-wide-angle optical coherence tomography images, PVA was divided into perivascular cysts (PC), perivascular microfolds (PM) and perivascular lamellar holes (PLH). According to the splitting level, EMRS can be divided into inner layer, middle layer and outer layer. According to SE, the affected eyes were divided into low myopia group, moderate myopia group and high myopia group. The occurrence of EMRS near optic disc, supratemporal, suprasal and subnasal, as well as the clinical characteristics of patients with EMRS at different locations, levels and forms of PVA were observed. Age, BCVA, SE, AL and SFCT of EMRS patients at different locations and levels were compared by independent sample t test. χ2 test or Fisher exact probability test were used to compare the categorical variables between groups. Results:In 60 eyes, EMRS were located in supratemporal, infratemporal, supranasal, subnasal, and paratopic discs in 36, 43, 15, 13, and 14 eyes, respectively. The EMRS in the inner and outer layers were 59 (98.3%, 59/60) and 35 (58.3%, 35/60) eyes, respectively. PVA was present in 47 eyes (78.3%, 47/60). Among them, PC, PM and PLH were 45, 39 and 18 eyes, respectively. The age of those with paratopic splitting was older than those without paratopic splitting ( t=2.720). Those with temporal splitting had worse BCVA and longer AL than those without splitting ( t=2.139, 2.119). Those with subnasal splitting had worse BCVA, higher myopia, longer AL and thinner SFCT than those without splitting. The differences were statistically significant ( t=2.926, -2.640, 2.635, -3.938; P<0.05). Compared with other types of EMRS, patients with inner EMRS had younger age ( t=-2.383), better BCVA ( t=-4.825), shorter AL ( t=-4.767), lower myopia ( t=4.791), and thicker SFCT ( t=4.791); patients with full-layer EMRS were older ( t=2.419), worse BCVA ( t=3.656), longer AL ( t=2.677), higher degree of myopia ( t=-2.755), and thinner SFCT ( t=-3.283), with statistical significance ( P<0.05). There was significant difference in SFCT among patients with or without PC ( t=-2.396, P<0.05). Compared with eyes without PM and PLH, eyes with PM had worse BCVA, longer AL, higher myopia, and thinner SFCT, and the differences were statistically significant (PM: t=2.514, 3.078, -2.811, -4.205; P<0.05; PLH: t=2.514, 2.992, -2.949, -1.773; P<0.05). Conclusions:EMRS primarily occurs in the temporal side, with the highest frequency in the inner layer. Patients with inner-layer EMRS are younger, have better BCVA, shorter AL, lower myopia, and thicker SFCT, whereas patients with full-layer EMRS exhibit the opposite characteristics.

Objective:To observe and analyze the imaging features of pathologic myopic paravascular abnormalities (PVA) and macular retinoschisis (MRS) and their relationship with clinical features.Methods:A retrospective case series study. A total of 371 eyes of 224 patients with pathological myopia with PVA and/or MRS diagnosed by examination in Department of Ophthalmology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2021 to December 2023 were included in the study. There were 74 eyes in 48 males and 297 eyes in 176 females. Age were 54 (49, 61) years; equivalent spherical lens (SE) was -13.375 (-18.00,-10.00) D. Axial length (AL) was 29.84 (28.27, 31.24) mm. According to the features of ultra-wide-angle sweep source optical coherence tomography, PVA morphology was divided into blood vessels and paravascular microfolds, paravascular retinal cysts, paravascular retinal splits and paravascular lamellar macular holes. MRS was divided into inner layer, outer layer and mixed layer according to splitting level, and grouped accordingly. The presence of dome-shaped macula (DSM), internal and external lamellar macular hole, and full lamellar macular hole (FTMH) were recorded. According to whether PVA combined with MRS or not, the affected eyes were divided into PVA group and PVA combined with MRS group. According to whether MRS involved the fovea, the affected eyes were divided into two groups: MRS not involved the fovea group and MRS involved the fovea group. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare age, SE and AL among different groups. Qualitative data were compared by χ2 test. Results:In 371 eyes, there were 120 eyes in the simple PVA group; in the MRS group, there were 251 eyes, of which 208 eyes were in the PVA combined with MRS group. There were 33, 27, 3, 14, 12, 56, 28, and 7 eyes with or without retinal detachment, choroidal neovascularization, DSM, preretinal membrane, and simple superficial detachment of neuroepithelium in inner lamina, outer lamina, and FTMH, respectively. In 328 eyes with PVA, blood vessels and paravascular microfolds, paravascular retinal cysts, paravascular retinal splits and paravascular lamellar macular holes were 151, 236, 202 and 72 eyes, respectively. There were 142 eyes with single lesion (43.29%, 142/328). There were 186 eyes with 2 or more lesions (56.71%, 186/328). There were 34 eyes in the inner MRS group, 92 eyes in the outer MRS group and 125 eyes in the mixed MRS group, respectively. It involved 155 eyes in the fovea group; 96 eyes in the fovea group were not involved. There were significant differences in the number of PVA eyes between the outer MRS group, the inner MRS group and the mixed MRS group ( χ2=30.614, 28.379; P<0.001). Compared with PVA group, PVA group combined with MRS group was more likely to have two or more PVA lesions, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=30.535, P<0.001). Compared with the inner MRS group and mixed MRS group, the age of the simple PVA group was younger, and the age of the outer MRS group was older, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with the inner MRS group and the outer MRS group, the simple PVA group had short AL, less myopia and better optimal corrected visual acuity (BCVA), while the mixed MRS group had long AL, more myopia and worse BCVA, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with the PVA group and the inner MRS group, the fovea was more involved in the outer MRS group and the mixed MRS group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=3.906, 10.836; P<0.05). Those with MRS involved in fovea were older, AL was longer, myopia was more severe, and BCVA was worse ( P<0.001). DSM-associated splits were less likely to involve macula ( P<0.001). Conclusion:PVA and MRS exhibit a variety of presentations, and their imaging features correlate with clinical features.

Objective:To compare and observe the fundus imaging characteristics of eyes with glucocorticoid-related central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. A total of 149 CSC patients with 166 eyes diagnosed at Department of Ophthalmology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2021 to October 2024 were included in the study. The duration of the disease from the appearance of symptoms to treatment was less than 3 months. All affected eyes underwent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus color photography, swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) examinations. BCVA was tested using an international standard vision chart and converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity for statistical analysis. The SS-OCT instrument measured subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), central macular thickness (CMT), choroidal vascular volume (CVV), and the width and height of flat irregular pigment epithelial detachment (FIPED). FIPED, subretinal fibrin, and choroidal layer strong reflective spots were identified from SS-OCTA B-scan images; multiple leakages (leak points >3) were identified from FFA images. Based on the presence or absence of a clear history of glucocorticoid administration before the onset, patients were divided into glucocorticoid-related and non-glucocorticoid-related groups, comprising 41 patients with 53 eyes and 108 patients with 113 eyes, respectively. Clinical and fundus imaging characteristics of the two groups were compared. The comparison of quantitative data between the two groups was performed using independent samples t test or non-parametric independent samples Wilcoxon test; the comparison of qualitative data was performed using χ2 test. Results:Compared with the non-glucocorticoid-related group, the glucocorticoid-related group had a smaller male-to-female ratio and a higher bilateral incidence, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.925, 17.849; P<0.05). The logMAR BCVA for the glucocorticoid-related and non-glucocorticoid-related groups were 0.45±0.33 and 0.21±0.21, respectively; SFCT were (644.43±131.91) and (507.26±121.79) μm; CMT were (389.51±233.45) and (362.59±140.85) μm; CVV were (4.44±1.07) and (3.67±0.82) mm 3; FIPED incidence were 58.49% (31/58) and 20.35% (23/113), respectively; FIPED width and height were (1 122.01±533.98) and (742.90±388.79) μm, and (99.13±92.17) and (33.01±15.99) μm; subretinal fibrin were observed in 24 (45.28%, 24/53) and 15 (13.27%, 15/113) eyes; choroidal strong reflections were found in 38 (71.70%, 38/53) and 45 (39.82%, 45/113) eyes; multiple leak points were identified in 35 (66.03%, 35/53) and 40 (35.40%, 40/113) eyes, respectively. Compared with the non-glucocorticoid-related group, the glucocorticoid-related group had worse BCVA ( Z=-4.984), thicker SFCT ( t=6.586), larger CVV ( t=5.160), higher incidence of FIPED ( χ2=23.908), and greater width and height of FIPED ( t=2.895, Z=-3.703). The glucocorticoid-related group also had a significantly increased incidence of subretinal fibrin, choroidal strong reflections, and multiple leak points, with all differences being statistically significant ( χ2=20.565, 14.663, 13.675; P<0.05); however, the comparison of CMT showed no statistically significant difference ( Z=-0.651, P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with non-glucocorticoid-related CSC, glucocorticoid-related CSC patients have poorer vision, are more likely to affect both eyes, show no gender bias; choroidal vascular dilation is more significant, and damage to the outer retina and retinal pigment epithelium is more severe.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the CHRM1 gene and genetic susceptibility to high myopia (HM) in the Han population of Henan Province. Methods:A retrospective case-control study. From January 2021 to April 2023, 576 HM patients (HM group) and 768 healthy volunteers (control group) were recruited from the Department of Ophthalmology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. All participants were of Han ethnicity from Henan Province. SNP data for the CHRM1 gene in the Northern Han Chinese population were downloaded from the 1000 Genomes Project Online Website, with screening criteria of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium P>0.05 and minor allele frequency> 0.05. Haploview software was used to analyze HapMap genotypes, identifying 5 tagSNP: rs55885673, rs544978, rs56995061, rs1942499, and rs2075748. MassARRAY system was employed for genotyping the 5 tagSNP loci. The SHEsis online software was employed to analyze the distribution differences of genotypes and allele frequencies between the two groups. Linkage disequilibrium coefficient D' was used to evaluate the recombination events between SNP loci, and haplotypes with frequencies exceeding 3% were constructed for statistical analysis. Results:The age of the HM group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t=18.515, P<0.05), while no significant difference was observed in gender distribution ( χ2=2.869, P=0.087). Compared with the control group, the HM group showed significantly higher frequencies of the C allele [odds ratio ( OR)=1.44, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.09-1.91, Pc=0.045)] and CC genotype ( OR=1.50, 95% CI: 1.11-2.02, Pc=0.038) at the rs56995061 locus, and significantly lower frequencies of the T allele ( OR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.52-0.91, Pc=0.045) and CT genotype ( OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.49-0.91, Pc=0.045). Additionally, the CT genotype frequency at the rs2075748 locus was significantly lower in the HM group ( OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.53-0.84, Pc=0.002). The haplotype G-T-A-A formed by rs55885673-rs56995061-rs1942499-rs544978 was significantly less frequent in the HM group ( OR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.54-0.94, P=0.170). Conclusions:The polymorphisms at the SNP loci rs56995061 and rs2075748 in the CHRM1 gene are associated with the genetic susceptibility to high myopia in the Chinese Han population. The G-T-A-A haplotype composed of rs55885673-rs56995061-rs1942499-rs544978 reduces the susceptibility to high myopia.

Objective:To observe the curative effect of a personalized surgical scheme based on scanning source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) image features in the treatment of congenital optic disc pit (ODP) with maculopathy (ODP-M).Methods:A prospective interventional cohort study. From September 2019 to May 2024, 15 patients with 15 eyes who were diagnosed with ODP-M by ophthalmology examination in Department of Ophthalmonogy of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included in the study. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and SS-OCT were performed in all affected eyes. Standard E word visual acuity chart was used for BCVA examination, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) BCVA for record. The center retinal thickness (CRT) was measured by SS-OCT examination of macular area using VG200D of Henan SVision Imaging Technology Co., LTD. According to the morphological characteristics of ODP and the splitting, edema and detachment of macular region, combined with the degree of pulling of the boundary membrane between the posterior vitreous cortex and macular region, a personalized surgical method was designed. Class I: pars plana vitrectomy combined with macular boundary film stripping, ODP boundary film packing and vitreous cavity gas filling. Class Ⅱ: pars plana vitrectomy combined with non-retained macular boundary film stripping or ODP inner boundary film packing, vitreous cavity gas filling. Class Ⅰ and Class Ⅱ operations were performed in 10 and 5 eyes of 15 eyes, respectively. The postoperative follow-up time was >6 months. Follow-up time was performed with the same equipment before surgery. BCVA changes, CRT reduction rate and complications were observed. BCVA and CRT were compared before and after operation by paired sample t test. Results:There were 15 eyes in 15 cases, 4 eyes in 4 males and 11 eyes in 11 females. The age was (28.87±16.5) years. logMAR BCVA of the affected eye was 0.94±0.51. CRT was (697.80±301.80) μm. At the last follow-up, the logMAR BCVA was 0.53±0.49. CRT was (392.53±167.55) μm. Compared with before operation, BCVA and CRT were significantly improved, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.23, 3.25; P=0.006, 0.006). After surgery, transient intraocular hypertension occurred in 2 eyes, and the intraocular pressure returned to normal level after 3 to 7 days without special treatment. Two eyes underwent an unexpected second operation. Among them, one eye underwent Class Ⅰ surgery, the tunnel at ODP was closed after surgery, and there was a small amount of subretinal fluid in the macular area. Class Ⅱ surgery was performed in 1 eye with retinal reattachment. Conclusion:Personalized surgical treatment of ODP-M based on SS-OCT image features can reduce CRT and improve visual acuity.

Objective:To compare the clinical and imaging characteristics of eyes with idiopathic focal choroidal excavation (FCE) and acquired FCE, and to preliminarily analyze the association of FCE with different fundus diseases.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. A total of 90 patients (93 eyes) diagnosed with FCE at the Ophthalmology Department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2021 to May 2024 were included in the study. All affected eyes underwent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) testing, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, ophthalmoscope, fundus color photography, and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). SS-OCT was used to measure subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), choroidal thickness at the temporal, nasal, and inferior margins of the FCE, as well as the maximum width and depth of the FCE. Based on the presence of concomitant fundus diseases, FCE cases were divided into an idiopathic FCE group (51 eyes) and an acquired FCE group (42 eyes). Clinical characteristics at the initial and final visits were compared between the two groups. Clinical features were also analyzed for acquired FCE eyes with different associated fundus diseases. A logistic regression model was used to identify potential risk factors for FCE coexisting with other fundus diseases.Results:Compared to the idiopathic FCE group, the acquired FCE group had significantly decreased BCVA ( Z=?8.290), significantly increased FCE width ( Z=?2.762), and significantly higher incidence rates of saucer-shaped FCE ( χ2=8.352) and ellipsoid zone disruption ( χ2=7.999). These differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05). No significant differences were found between the two groups in age, gender distribution, IOP, foveal involvement, proportion of conforming FCE, retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch’s membrane rupture, presence of hyperreflective material under the excavation, presence of surrounding thick vessels, FCE depth, SFCT, or choroidal thickness at the inferior, temporal, and nasal margins of the FCE ( P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that FCE width (odds ratio=1.002, 95% confidence interval: 1.001-1.004, P=0.005) was the sole risk factor for FCE coexisting with other fundus complications. In both the idiopathic and acquired FCE groups, FCE depth and width remained relatively stable during follow-up. BCVA improved in the acquired FCE group after treatment. Conclusions:FCE can coexist with various fundus diseases. FCE width is the only risk factor for the development of other fundus complications in FCE-affected eyes. Treating retinal or choroidal diseases associated with acquired FCE can provide visual benefits to patients.

Radiochemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM) is a common oral complication in patients with tumors following head and neck radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Erosion and ulcers are the main features of OM that seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even the progress of tumor treatment. To date, differences in clinical prevention and treatment plans for OM have been noted among doctors of various specialties, which has increased the uncertainty of treatment effects. On the basis of current research evidence, this expert consensus outlines risk factors, clinical manifestations, clinical grading, ancillary examinations, diagnostic basis, prevention and treatment strategies and efficacy indicators for OM. In addition to strategies such as basic oral care, anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, anti-infective agents, pro-healing agents, and photobiotherapy recommended in previous guidelines, we also emphasize the role of traditional Chinese medicine in OM prevention and treatment. This expert consensus aims to provide references and guidance for dental physicians and oncologists in formulating strategies for OM prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, standardizing clinical practice, reducing OM occurrence, promoting healing, and improving the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To explore the prevalence and risk factors of insomnia in Chinese Air Force servicemen deployed to highland areas.Methods:A total of 718 Air Force servicemen deployed to Qinghai-Tibetan plateau were recruited at May 2024.Sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.Social-demograph-ic,military service,and psychological characteristics were measured with a self-administered general question-naire.Bivariable and multivariable logistic regressions were performed to identify independent risk factors.Missing data were handled by the multiple imputation.Results:The average sleep duration was(6.9±1.2)h and the aver-age PSQI score was(5.9±4.1).Totally 53.8％of participants experienced clinically significant insomnia.The multivariable analysis revealed that age≥35(aOR=4.07,95％CI=1.11-17.76),stressful event(aOR=3.27,95％CI=2.00-5.49),dysfunctional sleep beliefs and attitudes(aOR=2.59,95％CI=1.75-3.85),and caffeine product usage(aOR=1.69,95％CI=1.17-2.43)were risk factors for insomnia,while Tibetan-indigenous ethnic(aOR=0.44,95％CI=0.20-0.91),higher perceived social support(aOR=0.96,95％CI=0.96-0.99),and positive coping style(aOR=0.96,95％CI=0.93-0.99)were protective factors.Conclusion:Air force service-men deployed to highland areas have sufficient sleep time,but reduced sleep quality.Age,exposed to stress event during deployment,dysfunctional sleep beliefs and attitudes,and caffeine product usage are risk factors for insomni-a,while Tibetan-indigenous ethnic,higher perceived social support and positive coping style act as protective fac-tors.

Objective:To observe the effects of peptidylarginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) inhibitor AFM-30a on silicotic mice and its possible mechanisms.Methods:In May 2022, 40 SPF male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group, AFM-30a group, silicosis model group and AFM-30a treatment group, with 10 mice in each group. Silicosis model group and AFM-30a treatment group were perfused with silicon dioxide (SiO 2) suspension (10 mg/piece, 50 μl), and the other groups were perfused with an equal amount of sodium chloride solution. After 2 weeks, AFM-30a group and AFM-30a treatment group were intraperitoneally injected AFM-30a (20 mg/kg, 100 μl) daily, and mice of other groups were injected with equal amounts of sodium chloride solution for 4 weeks. Mouse RAW264.7 monocytes/macrophages were cultured in vitro and divided into blank control group, AFM-30a group (5 μmol/L), SiO 2 group (200 μg/ml), and SiO 2+AFM-30a group (200 μg/ml SiO 2 induction for 12 h, followed by 5 μmol/L AFM-30a treatment for 12 h). As well as blank control group, vimentin (Vim) group (2 μg/ml), citrullinated vimentin (Cit-Vim) group (2 μg/ml), and Cit-Vim+TLR4-C34 group (10 μmol/L TLR4-C34 treatment for 1 h, followed by 2 μg/ml Cit-Vim induction for 24 h). Hematoxylin Eosin (HE) and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological morphology of lung. The lung fieldclarity and lung texture of each group was observed by micro-CT. The number of positive cells was detected by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. The localization and expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) signaling proteins were measured by Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting in vitro and in vivo. The experimental data were all presented as Mean±SD. A completely random design of one-way analysis of variance was used among the groups. The pduo comparison was performed using LSD test for homogeneity of variance and Tamhane's test for inconsistency. Results:Compared with the control group, the silicosis model group showed the formation of silicon nodules accompanied by collagen deposition, the silicosis model group showed thickened, and several high-density shadows of varying sizes in the lung field, and the number of TRAP positive cells in silicosis model group were increased significantly, the expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, TLR4 and RANKL signal-related proteins were also significantly increased in silicosis groupmodel ( P<0.05). Compared with the silicosis model group, the AFM-30a treatment group reduced deposition of collagen in lung, and the number of TRAP positive cells was decreased in AFM-30a treatment group. The expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins were significantly decreased in AFM-30a treatment group ( P<0.05). In vitro, compared with the blank control group, the number of TRAP positive cells and the expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins in the SiO 2 group were significantly increased ( P<0.05). Compared with the SiO 2 group, the number of TRAP positive cells and the expression levels of PAD2, Cit-Vim, TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins in the SiO 2+AFM-30a group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the expression levels of TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins in the Cit-Vim group were significantly increased ( P<0.05). Compared with the Cit-Vim group, the expression levels of TLR4 and RANKL signaling related proteins in the Cit-Vim+TLR4-C34 group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:PAD2 inhibitor AFM-30a may play an antagonisticrole in silicotic fibrosis in mice by potentialregulating TLR4 and RANKL signaling pathways.

We collected the positive serum of Echinococcus granulosus infection in sheep,an inter-mediate host with strong immune response,and used healthy serum as negative control,purified the serum and target protein to capture and enrich the corresponding antigen by immunoprecipita-tion,and obtained target protein-antibody-target protein complex.Mass spectrometry strategies were combined to screen and identify specific antigens associated with Echinococcus granulosus,and the proteins with the highest peptide coverage were analyzed bioinformatically using online prediction software.The results showed that 133 Echinococcus granulosus related proteins were i-dentified by IP-MS.Among them,one protein with peptide coverage≥70％was actin Ⅱ,and three proteins with peptide coverage between 30％to 40％were Ton B box domain containing protein,NADH dehydrogenase(ubiquinone)1 α-subcomplex 2(NADH dehydrogenase[ubiquinone])and lactic dehydrogenase.There were six proteins with 20％to 30％peptide coverage,namely,spli-cing factor 3B subunit 5,tumor protein D52,expressed conserved protein,NADH dehydrogenase(ubiquinone)1 alpha subcomplex 7,inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase,and aldo keto re-ductase family 1 member B4.Bioinformatics analysis revealed that actin protein has no signal pep-tide,it is probably a non-secretory protein and is subcellularly localized to the cytoskeleton,six op-timal potential antigenic epitopes are present,and the secondary and tertiary structures are consist-ently dominated by α-helices and irregular convolutions.The results indicate that immunoprecipita-tion-mass spectrometry is a high-throughput,simple,rapid and effective method for screening and identifying fine-grained Echinococcus granulosus antigens,which can provide a basis for screening specific molecules for serodiagnostic markers in intermediate host sheep and for the development of novel diagnostic techniques for hydatid diseases.
