Experimental infection with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in European brown hare (Lepus europaeus, Pallas)
Conclusion Results of this study revealed that YpH strain is more pathogenic for hares than the YpR strain; moreover the serological test performed in this study could be used for the diagnosis of pseudotuberculosis in hares, whereas post mortem diagnosis should be confirmed by means of bacteriological examination, PCR, histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

Healthcare workers' knowledge towards Zika virus infection in Indonesia: A survey in Aceh
Conclusion The knowledge of the doctors in Aceh regarding Zika infection is relatively low. Doctors who have a good knowledge on Zika infection are more confident to established Zika disease as differential diagnosis in their clinical setting. Therefore, such program to increase healthcare providers' knowledge regarding Zika infection is needed to screen potential carriers of Zika infection.

Targeted inhibition of Notch1 gene enhances the killing effects of paclitaxel on triple negative breast cancer cells
Conclusions Targeted inhibition of Notch1 gene may enhance the killing effects of paclitaxel on triple negative breast cancer cells by up-regulating the expression of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 and inhibiting the expression of Bcl-2. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine)

Phylogenetic analysis reveals cryptic species diversity within minute intestinal fluke, Stellantchasmus falcatus Onji and Nishio, 1916 (Trematoda, Heterophyidae)
Conclusions Our results provide initial evidence that S. falcatus s.l. from different hosts tend to be a different species based on both molecular and morphological characters. Cryptic species complexes are generally found among parasites that tend to have large populations and/or rapid evolution. The degree of genetic diversity existing would suggest the practice of targeted regimes to design and minimize these lections of anthelmintic resistance in the future.

Effects of albendazole, artesunate, praziquantel and miltefosine, on Opisthorchis viverrini cercariae and mature metacercariae
Conclusions The larvicidal effects of these drugs were high efficacy to O. viverrini cercariae but lesser efficacy to metacercariae. It should be further studied with the eventual aim of developing a field-based control program. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine)

Viral co-infections among children with confirmed measles at hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam, 2014
Conclusions Viral co-infections identified from pediatric measles cases may have contributed to increased disease severity and high rate of fatal outcomes. Optimal treatment of measles cases may require control of multiple viral respiratory pathogens. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine)

Anti-inflammatory evaluation and acute toxicity of three food supplements that contain Moussonia deppeana
Conclusions Of the three food supplements containing M. deppeana, only the EtOH extract from Cicatrisan/Gastricus® formulation (tablets) showed significant anti-inflammatory activity in both experimental models and the LD50 was > 2 g/kg. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine)

20-Hydroxyecdysone from Dacrycarpus imbricatus bark inhibits the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells
Conclusions This indicates that 20HE significantly decreases the number of cells in the G1/S phase of the cell cycle in human AML cells. This is the first time that the anti-proliferative activity of 20HE against a human tumor cell line has been reported. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine)

Study of concentration of amniotic fluid Alpha-fetal protein in thalassemia fetus
Conclusions Concentration of amniotic fluid alpha-fetal protein is increased in thalassemia fetus. AFP concentration inα-thalassemia fetus was higher than that ofβthalassemia or mixed αand βthalassemia fetus but difference was not significance. Further studies are needed to explore the possible correlation between Down syndrome and biochemical markers of Thalassemia. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine)
