Abstract
Delayed-type drug hypersensitivity reactions are major causes of morbidity and mortality. The origin, phenotype, and function of pathogenic T cells across the spectrum of severity require investigation. We leveraged recent technical advancements to study skin-resident memory T cells (TRMs) versus recruited T cell subsets in the pathogenesis of severe systemic forms of disease, Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and skin-limited disease, morbilliform drug eruption (MDE). Microscopy, bulk transcriptional profiling, and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) plus cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-Seq) plus T cell receptor sequencing (TCR-Seq) supported clonal expansion and recruitment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells from circulation into skin along with expanded and nonexpanded cytotoxic CD8+ skin TRM in SJS/TEN. Comparatively, MDE displayed a cytotoxic T cell profile in skin without appreciable expansion and recruitment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells from circulation, implicating TRMs as potential protagonists in skin-limited disease. Mechanistic interrogation in patients unable to recruit T cells from circulation into skin and in a parallel mouse model supported that skin TRMs were sufficient to mediate MDE. Concomitantly, SJS/TEN displayed a reduced Treg signature compared with MDE. DRESS demonstrated recruitment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells into skin as in SJS/TEN, yet a pro-Treg signature as in MDE. These findings have important implications for fundamental skin immunology and clinical care.

Abstract
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, in addition to the continuous increment in the number of infected patients, the number of COVID-19-related papers has also increased significantly. According to the statistics, its number even exceeds the research of some research fields over many years. Similar to COVID-19, the related research on COVID-19 also seems highly infectious. What causes this situation? By crawling the data of COVID-19-related papers from web of Sciences this year, we found that there are three mechanisms to promote the rapid growth of the number of COVID-19 papers: incentive mechanism, cross-field collaboration mechanism, and potential impact mechanism of writing papers. To understand the impact of COVID-19 on cross-domain paper network further, we proposed a new construction method of multi-field paper association structure network based on COVID-19. The paper association mechanism and the wall breaking principle between multiple research fields were found through the experiments. Then, combined with the constructed network, we gave the knowledge dissemination model of the new discoveries in multiple fields and obtained some relevant new findings.

Abstract
Increasing empirical evidence in recent years has shown that bots or malicious users in a social network play a critical role in the propagation of false information, while a theoretical modeling of such a problem has been largely ignored. In this paper, applying a simple contagion model, we study the effect of malicious nodes on the spreading of false information by incorporating the smart nodes who perform better than normal nodes in discerning false information. The malicious nodes, however, will always repost (or adopt) the false message as long as they receive it. We show analytically that, for a random distribution of malicious nodes, there is a critical number of malicious nodes above which the false information could outbreak in a random network. We further study three different distribution strategies of selecting malicious nodes for false information spreading. We find that malicious nodes that have large degrees, or are tightly connected, can enhance the spread. However, when they are close to the smart nodes, the spreading of false information can either be promoted or inhibited, depending on the network structure.

Abstract
We study the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on multiplex networks, which consist of a fixed set of vertices (junctions) connected by different types of links (segments). In particular, we assume that there are two types of segments corresponding to two different values of hopping rate of particles (larger hopping rate indicates particles move with higher speed on the segments). By simple mean-field analysis and extensive simulations, we find that, at the intermediate values of particle density, the global current (a quantity that is related to the number of hops per unit time) drops and then rises slightly as the fraction of low-speed segments increases. The rise in the global current is a counterintuitive phenomenon that cannot be observed in high or low particle density regions. The reason lies in the bimodal distribution of segment densities, which is caused by the high-speed segments.

A paradox of epidemics between the state and parameter spaces. Sci Rep 2018; 8:7517.

Abstract
It is recently revealed from amounts of real data of recurrent epidemics that there is a phenomenon of hysteresis loop in the state space. To understand it, an indirect investigation from the parameter space has been given to qualitatively explain its mechanism but a more convincing study to quantitatively explain the phenomenon directly from the state space is still missing. We here study this phenomenon directly from the state space and find that there is a positive correlation between the size of outbreak and the size of hysteresis loop, implying that the hysteresis is a nature feature of epidemic outbreak in real case. Moreover, we surprisingly find a paradox on the dependence of the size of hysteresis loop on the two parameters of the infectious rate increment and the transient time, i.e. contradictory behaviors between the two spaces, when the evolutionary time of epidemics is long enough. That is, with the increase of the infectious rate increment, the size of hysteresis loop will decrease in the state space but increase in the parameter space. While with the increase of the transient time, the size of hysteresis loop will increase in the state space but decrease in the parameter space. Furthermore, we find that this paradox will disappear when the evolutionary time of epidemics is limited in a fixed period. Some theoretical analysis are presented to both the paradox and other numerical results.

Abstract
The structure of underlying contact network and the mobility of agents are two decisive factors for epidemic spreading in reality. Here, we study a model consisting of two coupled subpopulations with intra-structures that emphasizes both the contact structure and the recurrent mobility pattern of individuals simultaneously. We show that the coupling of the two subpopulations (via interconnections between them and round trips of individuals) makes the epidemic threshold in each subnetwork to be the same. Moreover, we find that the interconnection probability between two subpopulations and the travel rate are important factors for spreading dynamics. In particular, as a function of interconnection probability, the epidemic threshold in each subpopulation decreases monotonously, which enhances the risks of an epidemic. While the epidemic threshold displays a non-monotonic variation as travel rate increases. Moreover, the asymptotic infected density as a function of travel rate in each subpopulation behaves differently depending on the interconnection probability.

Abstract
Most of the studies on epidemics so far have focused on the growing phase, such as how an epidemic spreads and what are the conditions for an epidemic to break out in a variety of cases. However, we discover from real data that on a large scale, the spread of an epidemic is in fact a recurrent event with distinctive growing and recovering phases, i.e., a hysteresis loop. We show here that the hysteresis loop can be reproduced in epidemic models provided that the infectious rate is adiabatically increased or decreased before the system reaches its stationary state. Two ways to the hysteresis loop are revealed, which is helpful in understanding the mechanics of infections in real evolution. Moreover, a theoretical analysis is presented to explain the mechanism of the hysteresis loop.

Abstract
The study of recurrent epidemic outbreaks has been attracting great attention for decades, but its underlying mechanism is still under debate. Based on a large number of real data from different cities, we find that besides the seasonal periodic outbreaks of influenza, there are also non-periodic outbreaks, i.e. non-seasonal or non-annual behaviors. To understand how the non-periodicity shows up, we present a network model of SIRS epidemic with both time-dependent infection rate and a small possibility of persistent epidemic seeds, representing the influences from the larger annual variation of environment and the infection generated spontaneously in nature, respectively. Our numerical simulations reveal that the model can reproduce the non-periodic outbreaks of recurrent epidemics with the main features of real influenza data. Further, we find that the recurrent outbreaks of epidemic depend not only on the infection rate but also on the density of susceptible agents, indicating that they are both the necessary conditions for the recurrent epidemic patterns with non-periodicity. A theoretical analysis based on Markov dynamics is presented to explain the numerical results. This finding may be of significance to the control of recurrent epidemics.

Abstract
The ease of travelling between cities has contributed much to globalization. Yet, it poses a threat on epidemic outbreaks. It is of great importance for network science and health control to understand the impact of frequent journeys on epidemics. We stress that a new framework of modelling that takes a traveller's viewpoint is needed. Such integrated travel network (ITN) model should incorporate the diversity among links as dictated by the distances between cities and different speeds of different modes of transportation, diversity among nodes as dictated by the population and the ease of travelling due to infrastructures and economic development of a city, and round-trip journeys to targeted destinations via the paths of shortest travel times typical of human journeys. An example is constructed for 116 cities in China with populations over one million that are connected by high-speed train services and highways. Epidemic spread on the constructed network is studied. It is revealed both numerically and theoretically that the traveling speed and frequency are important factors of epidemic spreading. Depending on the infection rate, increasing the traveling speed would result in either an enhanced or suppressed epidemic, while increasing the traveling frequency enhances the epidemic spreading.

Abstract
In spite of the extensive previous efforts on traffic dynamics and epidemic spreading in complex networks, the problem of traffic-driven epidemic spreading on correlated networks has not been addressed. Interestingly, we find that the epidemic threshold, a fundamental quantity underlying the spreading dynamics, exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior in that it can be minimized for some critical value of the assortativity coefficient, a parameter characterizing the network correlation. To understand this phenomenon, we use the degree-based mean-field theory to calculate the traffic-driven epidemic threshold for correlated networks. The theory predicts that the threshold is inversely proportional to the packet-generation rate and the largest eigenvalue of the betweenness matrix. We obtain consistency between theory and numerics. Our results may provide insights into the important problem of controlling and/or harnessing real-world epidemic spreading dynamics driven by traffic flows.

Abstract
There are many evidences to show that different pathogens may interplay each other and cause a variety of mutual influences of epidemics in multiplex networks, but it is still lack of a framework to unify all the different dynamic outcomes of the interactions between the pathogens. We here study this problem and first time present the concept of state-dependent infectious rate, in contrast to the constant infectious rate in previous studies. We consider a model consisting of a two-layered network with one pathogen on the first layer and the other on the second layer, and show that all the different influences between the two pathogens can be given by the different range of parameters in the infectious rates, which includes the cases of mutual enhancement, mutual suppression, and even initial cooperation (suppression) induced final suppression (acceleration). A theoretical analysis is present to explain the numerical results.

Abstract
The interplay between traffic dynamics and epidemic spreading on complex networks has received increasing attention in recent years. However, the control of traffic-driven epidemic spreading remains to be a challenging problem. In this Brief Report, we propose a method to suppress traffic-driven epidemic outbreak by properly removing some edges in a network. We find that the epidemic threshold can be enhanced by the targeted cutting of links among large-degree nodes or edges with the largest algorithmic betweenness. In contrast, the epidemic threshold will be reduced by the random edge removal. These findings are robust with respect to traffic-flow conditions, network structures, and routing strategies. Moreover, we find that the shutdown of targeted edges can effectively release traffic load passing through large-degree nodes, rendering a relatively low probability of infection to these nodes.
