Brain-Computer Interfaces in Visualized Medicine.

The brain-computer interface (BCI), also known as a brain-machine interface (BMI), has attracted extensive attention in biomedical applications. More importantly, BCI technologies have substantially revolutionized early predictions, diagnostic techniques, and rehabilitation strategies addressing acute diseases because of BCI's innovations and clinical translations. Therefore, in this chapter, a comprehensive description of the basic concepts of BCI will be exhibited, and various visualization techniques employed in BCI's medical applications will be discussed.

Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism rs17580 with Smoking and Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between SERPINA1 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs17580, smoking, and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). A total of 420 TB patients (observation group) and 640 patients without pulmonary disease (control group) were randomly included. The frequencies of different genotypes were counted in both groups, and the correlation between SNP genotypes and the occurrence of TB was analyzed.

The Temporal Dynamics of EEG Microstate Reveals the Neuromodulation Effect of Acupuncture With .

The electroencephalography (EEG) microstate has recently emerged as a new whole-brain mapping tool for studying the temporal dynamics of the human brain. Meanwhile, the neuromodulation effect of external stimulation on the human brain is of increasing interest to neuroscientists. Acupuncture, which originated in ancient China, is recognized as an external neuromodulation method with therapeutic effects.

Crocin promotes apoptosis of human skin cancer cells by inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway.

Pro-apoptotic effect and mechanism of crocin on skin cancer cells were investigated. After human skin cancer cells A431 and SCL-1 were processed with different concentrations of crocin (0, 0.2, 0.
