Identification and Functional Analysis of Ras-Related Associated with Diabetes Gene () in -Resistant Individuals of Japanese Flounder ().

Ras-related associated with diabetes (RRAD) is a member of the Ras GTPase superfamily that plays a role in several cellular functions, such as cell proliferation and differentiation. In particular, the superfamily acts as an NF-κB signaling pathway inhibitor and calcium regulator to participate in the immune response pathway. A recent transcriptome study revealed that was expressed in the spleen of disease-resistant Japanese flounder () individuals compared with disease-susceptible individuals, and the results were also verified by qPCR.

An Integrated Multi-Channel Deep Neural Network for Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Identification Using Multi-Modal Medical Data.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease with recurrent seizures. Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common pathological cause of epilepsy. With the development of computer-aided diagnosis technology, there are many auxiliary diagnostic approaches based on deep learning algorithms.

[Effect of electroconvulsive therapy on brain functional network in major depressive disorder].

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an interventional technique capable of highly effective neuromodulation in major depressive disorder (MDD), but its antidepressant mechanism remains unclear. By recording the resting-state electroencephalogram (RS-EEG) of 19 MDD patients before and after ECT, we analyzed the modulation effect of ECT on the resting-state brain functional network of MDD patients from multiple perspectives: estimating spontaneous EEG activity power spectral density (PSD) using Welch algorithm; constructing brain functional network based on imaginary part coherence (iCoh) and calculate functional connectivity; using minimum spanning tree theory to explore the topological characteristics of brain functional network. The results show that PSD, functional connectivity, and topology in multiple frequency bands were significantly changed after ECT in MDD patients.

Optimal Design of Array Coils for Multi-Target Adjustable Electromagnetic Brain Stimulation System.

Temporal interference magnetic stimulation is a novel noninvasive deep brain neuromodulation technology that can solve the problem of balance between focus area and stimulation depth. However, at present, the stimulation target of this technology is relatively single, and it is difficult to realize the coordinated stimulation of multiple brain regions, which limits its application in the modulation of multiple nodes in the brain network. This paper first proposes a multi-target temporal interference magnetic stimulation system with array coils.

Application and evaluation of LID facilities in sponge airport, China.

Low Impact Development (LID) is an important approach for the construction of sponge airports. There are few researches on the application of LID facilities in airports. This study mainly analyzes the application of LID facilities in airports, and analyzes the reduction rate of LID facilities on the total runoff, peak present time and peaking volume by constructing EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) in the eastern work area of an airport, which is located in a coastal city in northern China.

[Cross-subject electroencephalogram emotion recognition based on maximum classifier discrepancy].

Affective brain-computer interfaces (aBCIs) has important application value in the field of human-computer interaction. Electroencephalogram (EEG) has been widely concerned in the field of emotion recognition due to its advantages in time resolution, reliability and accuracy. However, the non-stationary characteristics and individual differences of EEG limit the generalization of emotion recognition model in different time and different subjects.

Portable Aptasensor of Aflatoxin B1 in Bread Based on a Personal Glucose Meter and DNA Walking Machine.

Despite some recent developments on the portable on-site sensor of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), the complex and expensive preparation of recognition elements have still limited their wide applications. In this paper, using the fast, low-cost, and stable recognition of aptamer DNA-AFB1, a portable aptasensor was constructed for the on-site detection of AFB1 in food matrixes, with the readout of personal glucose meter (PGM) and DNA walking machine for signal probe separation. In such an assay protocol, the target could trigger the DNA walker to autonomously move on the electrode surface, propelled by unidirectional Pb-specific DNAzyme digestion, which could amplify the signal and separate the signal probe as well for further quantification by the PGM.

A Simple Method of Electrospun Tungsten Trioxide Nanofibers with Enhanced Visible-Light Photocatalytic Activity.

The present study involves the fabrication of tungsten trioxide (WO) nanofibers by an electrospinning technique using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)/citric acid/tungstic acid as precursor solution. It was found that the PVP concentration was one of the most crucial processing parameters determining the final properties of WO nanofibers. The optimum concentration of PVP was from 75 to 94 g L.

[Analysis of composite traditional Chinese medicine constitution: an investigation of 974 volunteers].

Objective: To explore the analysis methods for composite traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutions.

Methods: The epidemiological data of TCM constitutions were collected from 974 volunteers via a cross-sectional survey. The samples were classified into 9 constitution types according to the maximal standardized scores of imbalanced constitutions.

Primary anaplastic solitary fibrous tumor of the tentorium cerebelli.

Meningeal solitary fibrous tumors (MSFT) have been described in about 80 patients as benign spindle-cell neoplasms, with few anaplastic variants. We report a 57-year-old male patient with a 4-month history of progressive headache caused by a primary anaplastic MSFT arising from the tentorium cerebelli. MRI revealed a tentorium-based tumor that extended into the occipital lobe superiorly and into the cerebellum inferiorly on the left.
