Objective Using the weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA)to explore the key genes of aging associated with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods GSE132903 was selected from GEO database as the analysis dataset.The differential expressed genes(DEGs)of AD were screened,and visualized with volcano and heat map.Aging and senescence-associated genes(ASAGs)were downloaded from MsigDB,Aging Altas and CellAge databases.WGCNA screened the gene modules with the highest correlation with AD,and genes of key modules subsequently performed with gene ontology(GO),Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis.AD age-related differential expressed genes(ARDEGs)were obtained by taking intersection genes of DEGs,key module genes of WGCNA and ASAGs.Protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis was performed using the STRING database to find key node genes.The co-expression networks and associated functions of key genes were analyzed using the GeneMANIA database.The key genes were validated in Alzdata database.Results 226 DEGs,606 ASAGs and 8 ARDEGs were obtained.The top 5 key genes selected by PPI were SYP,STXBP1,VAMP2,CPLX1 and STX1A.Alzdata database verified that the expressions of 5 key genes in other brain regions of AD were down-regulated,except for no significant changes of VAMP2 in hippocampus and STXBP1 in frontal cortex,as well as no expression of CPLX1 in frontal cortex.The differential expression of VAMP2,STXBP1 and STX1A appeared in the early stage of AD,and CPLX1 was related to the pathological process of Tau.SYP and STXBP1 were related to the pathological processes of amyloid β-protein and Tau.Conclusion SYP,STXBP1,VAMP2,CPLX1 and STX1A are ARDEGs,which are expected to be potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for AD.

Objective:To observe the impact of a home-based intervention based on video feedback on the social, cognitive and fine motor skills of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Methods:Fifty children with ASD were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, each of 25. In addition to conventional rehabilitation training, the control group received routine comprehensive family intervention, while the observation group′s family intervention used video feedback. Before and after 6 months, all of the children′s social, cognitive and fine motor skills were assessed using the Psychoeducational Profile instrument (PEP-3), an aberrant behavior checklist (ABC), the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), an autism treatment evaluation checklist (ATEC) and a neuropsychological development scale (CNDS) for children up to 6 years old.Results:Before the treatment there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in any of the measurements. Afterward, significant improvement was observed in all of the measurements in both groups. After the treatment, however, the experimental group′s average social interaction, cognition and personal self-care scores on the PEP-3 scale, as well as their average fine motor skill, adaptive capacity, language use and personal social ability were all significantly better than the control group′s averages. At the same time, the experimental group′s average ABC, CARS, communication, sensation, social ability and behavior results were significantly better.Conclusions:Video feedback can effectively improve family interventions stimulating the social and cognitive abilities of children with ASD, as well as their fine motor skills.

This paper aims to realize the decoding of single trial motor imagery electroencephalogram (EEG) signal by extracting and classifying the optimized features of EEG signal. In the classification and recognition of multi-channel EEG signals, there is often a lack of effective feature selection strategies in the selection of the data of each channel and the dimension of spatial filters. In view of this problem, a method combining sparse idea and greedy search (GS) was proposed to improve the feature extraction of common spatial pattern (CSP). The improved common spatial pattern could effectively overcome the problem of repeated selection of feature patterns in the feature vector space extracted by the traditional method, and make the extracted features have more obvious characteristic differences. Then the extracted features were classified by Fisher linear discriminant analysis (FLDA). The experimental results showed that the classification accuracy obtained by proposed method was 19% higher on average than that of traditional common spatial pattern. And high classification accuracy could be obtained by selecting feature set with small size. The research results obtained in the feature extraction of EEG signals lay the foundation for the realization of motor imagery EEG decoding.
