DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier （ D igital O bject I dentifier ） ,
and is the unique identifier for objects on the internet. It can be used to create persistent link and to cite articles.

Using DOI as a persistent link

To create a persistent link, add「http://dx.doi.org/」「 http://dx.doi.org/ 」 before a DOI.
For instance, if the DOI of an article is 10.5297/ser.1201.002 , you can link persistently to the article by entering the following link in your browser: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.5297/ser.1201.002 。
The DOI link will always direct you to the most updated article page no matter how the publisher changes the document's position, avoiding errors when engaging in important research.

Cite a document with DOI

When citing references, you should also cite the DOI if the article has one. If your citation guideline does not include DOIs, you may cite the DOI link.

DOIs allow accurate citations, improve academic contents connections, and allow users to gain better experience across different platforms. Currently, there are more than 70 million DOIs registered for academic contents. If you want to understand more about DOI, please visit airiti DOI Registration （ doi.airiti.com ）。

Parallel Abstract 〈TOP〉

Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the major cause of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.  Clinically, anthelmintic treatment is usually not recommended due to concerns about the theoretical neurologic side-effects caused by degenerating worms.  In addition, the efficacy of steroid therapy is also controversial.  In the present study, the efficacy of mebendazole treatment was examined.  Effects of mebendazole treatment on host immune responses were also investigated.  In addition, the anti-inflammatory efficacy of quercetin, a popular flavonoid antiphlogistic, was also evaluated.  BALB/c mice were infected with 30 infective larvae per os and underwent different therapeutic strategies—without any drug treatment, treated with mebendazole only, or treated with mebendazole and quercetin.  Non-infected mice served as negative controls.  Cytokine concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral blood were determined through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.  Eosinophil counts in CSF as well as worm recovery in brains were also determined under the microscope.  Cytokine mRNA expressions in mouse brains were also investigated using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay.  The results of this study revealed that, with proper timing and dosages of mebendazole treatment, worm recovery rates were reduced about 80-95 %.  The data also showed that instead of raising the expression of IL-4 and eotaxin, which are CSF eosinophilia-related cytokines, mebendazole medication suppressed the expression levels of these cytokines both in protein level and in mRNA level.  Eosinophil counts in CSF were also significantly lowered in the treated mice.  Concomitant administration of mebendazole and quercetin to infected mice did suppress IL-4 and eotaxin production in CSF both in the early and late onset of treatment groups, but the efficacy was not so remarkable as we expected.  Interestingly, IL-5 expression was only detected in a very low level at 14 days post-infection and even undetectable at 21 days post-infection.  These data suggested that anthelmintic treatment to angiostrongyliasis patients might not be as harmful as generally expected.  Furthermore, IL-5 might not be the major factor in the course of this disease.
