Identification of shared potential diagnostic markers in asthma and depression through bioinformatics analysis and machine learning.

Background: There is mounting evidence that asthma might exacerbate depression. We sought to examine candidates for diagnostic genes in patients suffering from asthma and depression.

Methods: Microarray data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database and used to screen for differential expressed genes(DEGs) in the SA and MDD datasets.

Dysfunction of Emotion Regulation in Mild Cognitive Impairment Individuals Combined With Depressive Disorder: A Neural Mechanism Study.

Depression increases the risk of progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia, where impaired emotion regulation is a core symptom of depression. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the decreased emotion regulation in individuals with MCI combined with depressive symptoms are not precise. We assessed the behavioral performance by emotion regulation tasks and recorded event-related electroencephalography (EEG) signals related to emotion regulation tasks simultaneously.

Unhealthy Lifestyle Is an Important Risk Factor of Idiopathic BPPV.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a self-limiting and recurrent disease but the cost is considerable. The number of patients with BPPV increased significantly under the quarantine policy in Hangzhou. The unhealthy lifestyle risk factors of BPPV have not yet been investigated.

Half-life determination of 88Kr and 138Xe.

The half-lives of (88)Kr and (138)Xe have been determined with two high purity germanium (HPGe) detectors by the position relay method. Data have been recorded at regular time intervals during measurements covering more than nine times the respective half-lives. This article describes in detail the principle and process of the position relay method with two HPGe detectors.

[Impact on outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer by reducing numbers of transferred embryos].

Objective: To study the impact on pregnant outcome of reducing the number of embryos transferred from three to two in women at age less than 35 who received frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET).

Methods: The analysis was performed on 90 FET cycles (77 infertile couples, less than 35 years old) with slow-freezing/rapid-thawing method, including 48 cycles with two embryos transferred and 42 cycles with three embryos transferred. The embryo survival rate, high quality embryo rate, clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate and multiple pregnancies rate were analyzed.
