In February 2004, the panel of experts gathered for a face-to-face meeting moderated by a statistician (SCS) and an epidemiologist (CHS). The goal of this meeting was to obtain consensus (at least 80%) on the target population to whom the classification criteria would apply, and the initial list of variables or criteria items that would be collected as part of SICCA. The meeting began with presentation of a comprehensive literature review by one of the senior investigators (TED) of the 11 previous classification and diagnostic criteria for SS that had been published in the past 40 years, none of which had been endorsed by the ACR or EULAR.
There was consensus among the panel that the criteria should apply to the population of patients who may be referred to a specialist because of signs and/or symptoms possibly suggesting SS. Recruitment strategies and eligibility criteria are described below. The rationale for selecting this target population is that a given patient would not be evaluated for SS unless she/he had signs or symptoms suggesting this diagnosis. There was also consensus that if asked to select cases and controls for validation of new classification criteria, panel members would use objective tests (e.g., specific serum measures of autoimmunity, ocular staining reflecting lacrimal hypofunction, and LSG biopsy reflecting FLS) that would likely be part of the new classification criteria, leading to circularity. Therefore, it was agreed that no diagnostic labels would be used for enrollment, and that all participants would undergo the same set of standardized objective tests, and questionnaires capturing various signs and symptoms.
The panel agreed upon examinations and tests used to assess ocular and oral signs and symptoms, tear and salivary function, LSG biopsy results and various serum measures of autoimmunity. The list created was based both on published results and on the clinical experience of panel members. There was discussion among the rheumatologists regarding which extra-glandular manifestations possibly associated with SS should be captured, and a consensus was achieved regarding a list of signs/symptoms that would be measured through a targeted rheumatologic examination, review of systems, careful medical history and serologic laboratory measures. Similarly, the oral medicine specialists agreed on a list of tests measuring salivary function (both stimulated parotid and UWS flow rates), and salivary gland expression of autoimmunity through biopsy of LSG, examining them for the presence of FLS, and measuring FS accordingly as described in detail elsewhere (15 (link)). The ophthalmologists agreed on tests evaluating participants for the presence of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). There was consensus that, while rose Bengal had been widely used for grading conjunctival and corneal damage in patients with KCS, it is inherently toxic to epithelial cells and very painful for patients. Therefore, fluorescein was selected to grade the cornea and lissamine green the bulbar conjunctiva. Effectiveness for grading KCS is established for both (16 (link)). They agreed on a standardized quantitative grading system that would be easily reproducible and could be used in clinical practice in the future (17 (link)). Ocular staining score (OSS) is the sum of a 0–6 score for fluorescein staining of the cornea and a 0–3 score for lissamine green staining of both nasal and temporal bulbar conjunctivae, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 12. Alternative established tests for dryness used in prior criteria, such as tear break-up time (TBUT) and unanesthetized Schirmer test, were also included.
The final list of criteria items that was agreed upon by the end of the first meeting included nearly all those previously reported in the relevant literature. It has been described previously (12 (link)) and is available at http://sicca.ucsf.edu.

A continuous wave green-light laser (λ = 532 nm) (TIM-622; Transverse Industries, Taipei Hsien, Taiwan) was directed onto the beam axis of the microscope with a dichroic mirror (see Figure S1). The green-light beam underfilled the back aperture of the objective and was aligned so it focused at the center of the same plane as the near-infrared pulsed laser beam and formed an approximately 5-μm diameter spot. As the green-light overlapped with the fluorescent spectrum of fluorescein, the green-light was delivered in pulses of 1-s duration that were interspersed with TPLSM imaging.
Vessels targeted for clotting were centered in the imaging field (see Figure 2A). The rat was then given a 0.3-ml intravenous injection of 1% (w/v) rose bengal (Na salt) in PBS, and the wall of the target vessel was irradiated with 0.1 to 5 mW of green laser light for a total of 30 to 600 s. Irradiation of a photosensitizer leads to the production of singlet oxygen [63 (link)], which damages the wall of the vessel and subsequently triggers a clotting cascade that leads to an occlusion [16 (link),17 (link)]. We slowly increased the green laser power while monitoring clot formation in near real time and used the minimum power required to trigger clot formation in the target vessel. This procedure led to the formation of a single, localized clot (see Figure 2C and Video S1). In control experiments, green laser irradiation at a typical power led to no visible effects on the target vessel in the absence of rose bengal (Figure S7) and no observable retention of fluorescein-dextran in the tissue below the target vessel (see Figure S5).

FLIO instrumentation has been described in detail elsewhere [17 , 18 (link)]. Thus, only a short description is given here. A schematic of the FLIO instrumentation is shown in Fig 1A.
The basis is a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (cSLO, HRA-2, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). Fundus images (30°, 256x256 pixels) are recorded in high-speed mode at 8.8 frames/s. A pulsed diode laser with a wavelength of 473 nm (BDL-473-SMC, Becker & Hickl GmbH), a pulse width of approximately 70 ps (full width at half maximum) and a repetition rate of 80 MHz is fiber-coupled (single-mode) into the cSLO to excite the autofluorescence. The laser power in the corneal plane is circa 150 μW, well below the exposure limits set by the ANSI standards for durations of up to 8 h [19 ]. A multimode fiber collects the fluorescence photons and transmits them to filters to block the excitation light. A dichroic mirror (edge-wavelength 560 nm) splits the fluorescence photons into two spectral channels (498–560 nm and 560–720 nm), and there is one detector for each channel (HPM-100-40, Becker & Hickl GmbH). Each detector is connected to a time-correlated single photon-counting (TCSPC) device (SPC-150, Becker & Hickl GmbH). The TCSPC technique [9 , 20 , 21 ] generates time-, space- and spectrum-resolved fluorescence decay datasets.
The instrument response function (IRF) was measured using a 25 μM Eosin Y solution which additionally contained 5 M potassium iodide. The Eosin Y solution was prepared by dissolving Eosin Y powder (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Taufkirchen, Germany) in a small volume of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) first. Then water was added to obtain a stock solution of 2 mM which finally was further diluted down to 25 μM using a solution of 5 M potassium iodide. The Eosin Y fluorescence can be excited from 350 to 500 nm and ranges between 450 and 680 nm with a sufficient intensity. Based on the reported Rose Bengal fluorescence lifetime of ca. 16 ps when dissolved in 5 M potassium iodide [22 (link)] it is reasonable to assume that Eosin Y, another Fluorescein derivative, shows similar characteristics which could be confirm by in-house measurements. Additionally, no differences in terms of shape and width were found in the IRFs based on the Eosin Y fluorescence in comparison to the IRFs measured using scattered excitation laser light. To measure the Eosin Y fluorescence based IRF, a flat cylindrical quartz cuvette with a detachable window and a volume of 90 μL (124–0.5–40, Hellma GmbH & Co. KG, Müllheim, Germany) was placed slightly tilted in front of the FLIO device. The acquisition time was set to 2–3 minutes which is comparable to typical measurements in volunteers. The IRF images showed no sign of spatial variation. The full width at half maximum of the IRF is 172 ps for channel 1 (498–560 nm) and 153 ps for channel 2 (560–720 nm). The IRFs of both spectral channels are shown in Fig 1B. All IRFs used in this work have similar properties as those in Fig 1B, including experiment 5.

One microliter of 0.1% liquid sodium fluorescein was dropped into the conjunctival sac. After 3 blinks, BUTs were recorded in seconds. Ninety seconds later, corneal epithelial damage was graded with a cobalt blue filter under a slit-lamp microscope (Kanghua Science & Technology Co., Ltd, Chongqing, China). The cornea was divided into 4 quadrants, which were scored, respectively. The 4 scores were added to arrive at a final grade (total, 16 points). The fluorescein score was analyzed as previously described [10 (link)] with essential modification, briefly, as follows; absent, 0; slightly punctate staining less than 30 spots, 1; punctate staining more than 30 spots, but not diffuse, 2; severe diffuse staining but no positive plaque, 3; positve fluorescein plaque, 4.
One microliter of 1% rose bengal was instilled into the conjunctival sac. Fifteen seconds later, the scores were graded under slit-lamp microscope using the Van Bijsterveld system [11 (link)]. Representative images of each scale in the grading system were provided (Figure 1E-L).

All oxidations were conducted in 20 mM MPi (pH 7.4) 120 mM MCl (M = Na or K) at 37 °C at a 10 µM ODN concentration. Oxidation sites were determined on reactions doped with 20,000 cpm of 5’-32P labeled strand in a 50-µL reaction utilizing the following oxidant conditions: (1) Riboflavin (Type I photooxidant) was added to give a 50 µM final concentration and solutions were exposed to 350-nm light for 5–20 min, (2) CO3•− was produced when SIN-1 generated ONOO (<3 mM) was allowed to react with 25 mM MHCO3 (M = Na or K) present, and the reaction progressed through the thermal decomposition of SIN-1 for 0.5–3 h, (3) Rose Bengal (Type II photooxidant) was added to a final concentration of 50 µM and solutions were exposed to 350-nm light for 5–20 min, and (4) Cu-mediated oxidations were conducted with 10 µM Cu(OAc)2 that was preincubated with the ODNs for 30 min prior to the addition of 10–1000 µM H2O2, and allowed to react for 30 min prior to reaction termination with 5 mM EDTA. Following the oxidation, samples were dialyzed overnight then worked up with 1 M piperidine at 90 °C for 2 h, and then the piperidine was removed by lyophilization. Next, the samples were resuspended in 12 µL of loading buffer (30% glycerol, 0.25% bromophenol blue, and 0.25% xylene cyanol) and 6 µL was loaded on a 20% denaturing PAGE gel, and electrophoresed at 75 W for 2.5 h. A Maxam-Gilbert G-lane was run alongside each reaction to determine the G oxidation sites.74 (link) The cleavage sites were observed and quantified by storage-phosphor autoradiography on a phosphorimager (see Supporting Information).
Oxidation products were determined by nuclease digestion followed by HPLC analysis. To achieve the analysis, reactions were conducted similarly to those described above with the exception of not adding the 5’-32P labeled strand. For each oxidant studied, 20 reactions were conducted and then combined to have 10 nmoles of oxidized ODN. Next, the samples were dialyzed overnight to remove the reaction buffer. Rose Bengal was removed with a NAP-25 column (GE Healthcare) following the manufacturer’s protocol. After concentrating the samples by lyophilization, they were resuspended in 50 µL of digestion buffer and digested with nuclease P1, snake venom phosphodiesterase and calf intestinal phosphatase, as previously described.32 (link) Next, the products were quantified by HPLC following a previously described protocol32 (link) for which the complete details of the entire process are described in the Supporting Information.

In the following experiments, a mouse model of RVO, which induces reproducible retinal edema was used. RVO is the model that was used for testing anti-VEGF therapies for DME. Brown et al., Ophthalmology 117, 1124-1133 el 121 (2010); and Campochiaro et al., Ophthalmology 117, 1102-1112 e1101 (2010). I n this model, Rose Bengal, a photoactivatable dye, is injected into the tail veins of adult C57B16 mice and photoactivated by laser of retinal veins around the optic nerve head. A clot is formed and edema or increased retinal thickness develops rapidly. Inflammation, also seen in diabetes, also develops.

Fluorescein leakage and maximal retinal edema, measured by fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT), respectively, using the Phoenix Micron IV, is observed 24 h after RVO. Retinal edema is maintained over the first 3 days RVO. By day 4 the edema decreases and the retina subsequently thins out. In addition to edema formation there is evidence of cell death in the photoreceptor cell layer by day 2 after RVO.

In this example, mice were anesthetized with intra-peritoneal (IP) injection of ketamine and xylazine. One drop of 0.5% alcaine was added to the eye as topical anesthetic. The retina was imaged with the Phoenix Micron IV to choose veins for laser ablation using the Phoenix Micron IV image guided laser. One to four veins around the optic nerve head were ablated by delivering a laser pulse (power 50 mW, spot size 50 μm, duration 3 seconds) to each vein.

The model is parametrized using data from a sero-survey of 425 dairy herds in rural Ludhiana district of Punjab conducted between 2015 and 2017; 139 herds had at least one positive animal (median within-herd prevalence 33.3%) [19 ]. These data are supplemented with information collected from a survey of 409 household herds [21 (link)] and published literature. Infection in a farm is seeded from the purchase of infected animals. Two zero-inflated negative binomial distributions for purchase numbers were fitted using maximum-likelihood estimation implemented with the R package fitdistrplus [24 (link)] to data on the number of purchases per farm per year; one for herds with less than nine adult females and one for herds with nine or more females. The effective contact (transmission) rate within a farm, β, was fitted using approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) techniques.
The model parameters are listed in table 1. As there was high uncertainty associated with the probability a calf born to an infected animal is infected θ and this could potentially influence which control strategies are considered most effective this parameter was varied as part of a scenario analysis. See table 1, electronic supplementary material and Holt et al. [13 (link)] for further details.

Scenarios combining calfhood vaccination with testing of all animals (cows and buffalo of all age groups using the Rose Bengal test) and immediate removal of test positives were also simulated. Test and removal is assumed to occur at a single point in time, at the inception of the control programme (as proposed in the Brucella free village programme). There is no differentiate infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) test available for brucellosis, therefore this strategy was not combined with vaccination at the inception of the programme. The number of true test positive animals is sampled from a Bernoulli distribution with the number of trials equal to Ej+ Ij and the probability of testing positive given by the test sensitivity, Se. False positive animals are also sampled from a Bernoulli distribution with number of trials equal to Sj and the probability of giving a false positive result equal to 1 − Sp. Scenario B was not simulated with test and removal as it was not considered an effective use of resources compared with Scenario C (see Results).
Targets for control were set using prevalence (percentage of infected animals in a village), as this is measurable via surveillance. Therefore, we define ‘control’ as animal-level prevalence below 1%, as indicative of a nominally low level of infection whereby Punjab could consider moving towards elimination. The ‘probability of control’ is the percentage of simulations with prevalence less than 1%. Predicted (cumulative) incidence, the percentage of animals infected with B. abortus per year, is also presented.

The surface hydrophobicity of MT-BHC MPs and MT-BHC SLNs was measured using the Rose Bengal (RB) binding method (Doktorovova et al., 2012 (link)). Different volumes of BHC solution, MT-BHC SLNs, and MT-BHC MPs were taken, and double the volume of RB solution (30 μg mL−1) was added. After incubating for 2 h away from light at room temperature, the mixture was centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 30 min. Afterward, the sample was filtered (0.22 μm) and the free RB in the supernatant was measured using UV spectrophotometry. The RB concentration was determined using the following formula:
ra=KNKr
where r is the concentration of RB bound to the particles, a is the concentration of RB at equilibrium, K is the binding constant to evaluate the hydrophobicity of the particle surface, and N is the maximum binding amount of RB.
