Rapid and accurate identification and effective non-drug intervention are the worldwide challenges in the field of depression. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals contain rich quantitative markers of depression, but whole-brain EEG signals acquisition process is too complicated to be applied on a large-scale population. Based on the wearable frontal lobe EEG monitoring device developed by the authors' laboratory, this study discussed the application of wearable EEG signal in depression recognition and intervention. The technical principle of wearable EEG signals monitoring device and the commonly used wearable EEG devices were introduced. Key technologies for wearable EEG signals-based depression recognition and the existing technical limitations were reviewed and discussed. Finally, a closed-loop brain-computer music interface system for personalized depression intervention was proposed, and the technical challenges were further discussed. This review paper may contribute to the transformation of relevant theories and technologies from basic research to application, and further advance the process of depression screening and personalized intervention.

【Objective】 To dig the main active components and predict potential mechanisms of Guarana in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by network pharmacology method and molecular docking. 【Methods】 By digging into papers relating to this topic, chemical components in Guarana were obtained and used for drug-likeness analysis. Databases including HERB and Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) were used to obtain potential targets that the active components in Guarana might have effects on, and to find out diseases in association with the potential targets. Other databases such as GeneCards, a human gene database, and DisGeNET were used to identify the genes relating to AD, and a Wayne diagram was drawn to get the intersected targets in Guarana and AD. Subsequently, CytoScape software was adopted for the construction of a Guarana-intersected targets-AD map. After that, the intersected targets were uploaded to the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interaction Gene/Proteins (STRING) database to acquire a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network diagram. Then, the key target proteins were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). In terms of molecular docking verification, AutoDock software was used to verify whether the crucial active compounds of Guarana’s components could bind to the key targets. 【Results】 A total of 140 potential targets for Guarana to treat AD were obtained. The results of PPI network analysis showed that interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), insulin (INS), mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (MAPK3), transcription factor (JUN), cell tumor antigen p53 (TP53), caspase3 (CASP3), protein c-Fos (FOS), catalase (CAT), and Catenin beta-1 (CTNNB1) might be the key targets of Guarana in the treatment of AD. It was found by GO and KEGG analyses that the mechanism of Guarana in the treatment of AD might be the bindings between Guarana compounds and protease outside the cell membranes. The molecular docking results showed that the small molecules of various components in Guarana binding to target proteins such as TNF, IL-6, MAPK3, and FOS needed relatively less energy. 【Conclusion】 The treatment of AD with Guarana involves the participation of multiple targets, among which IL-6, TNF, and MAPK3 might be the key ones. These key targets might take effects through the biological process in their bindings to β-amyloid and involving signaling pathways in cancer. Hopefully, our research could offer some scientific foundations as well as references for in-depth studies on the treatment of AD with Guarana.

Background/Aims: This study aimed to explore the effect of gut microbiota-regulated Kupffer cells (KCs) on colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis. Methods: A series of in vivo and in vitro researches were showed to demonstrate the gut microbiota and its possible mechanism in CRC liver metastasis. Results: Fewer liver metastases were identified in the ampicillin-streptomycin-colistin and colistin groups. Increased proportions of Parabacteroides goldsteinii, Bacteroides vulgatus, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, and Bacteroides uniforms were observed in the colistin group. The significant expansion of KCs was identified in the ampicillin-streptomycin-colistin and colistin groups. B.vulgatus levels were positively correlated with KC levels. More liver metastases were observed in the vancomycin group. An increased abundance of Parabacteroides distasonis and Proteus mirabilis and an obvious reduction of KCs were noted in the vancomycin group. P. mirabilis levels were negatively related to KC levels. The number of liver metastatic nodules was increased in the P. mirabilis group and decreased in the B. vulgatus group. The number of KCs decreased in the P. mirabilis group and increased in the B. vulgatus group. In vitro, as P. mirabilis or B. vulgatus doses increased, there was an opposite effect on KC proliferation in dose- and time-dependent manners. P. mirabilis induced CT26 cell migration by controlling KC proliferation, whereas B. vulgatus prevented this migration. Conclusions An increased abundance of P. mirabilis and decreased amount of B. vulgatus play key roles in CRC liver metastasis, which might be related to KC reductions in the liver.

Objective:To analyze the trend of liver cancer morbidity and mortality among residents with household registration in certain District, 2017 to 2019.Methods:The crude morbidity and mortality rate of males and females in the whole population were calculated by using the relevant data from the certain District Cancer Registry and Report System and the Cause of Death Surveillance System. The standardized morbidity and mortality rate were calculated according to the age structure of 2000 National Demographic Census and Segi's world population, respectively. Trend in liver cancer morbidity and mortality were evaluated using percent change (PC), annual percentage change, and case-number-weighted annual percent change. Age-specific rates were used to analyze the epidemic trend of liver cancer with age.Results:The crude morbidity rate of liver cancer in the whole population (male and female) of the certain district from 2017 to 2019 were 18.86/100 000, 26.05/100 000 and 11.90/100 000 respectively, and the crude mortality rates were 21.20/100 000, 29.29/100 000 and 13.38/100 000 respectively. The crude morbidity and mortality rate of liver cancer among male showed a downward trend (PC=-16.77% and -20.15% respectively). The crude morbidity and mortality rate of liver cancer among female showed inconsistent changes; however, the crude morbidity rate showed a downward trend, and the crude mortality rate first increased and then decreased (PC=-19.42% and -0.30% respectively). Liver cancer morbidity and mortality rate in male after the age of 30 were increased with age. The two key points of accelerated growth were around the age of 65 and 75, and the peak of morbidity (130.78/100 000) and mortality (201.96/100 000) were after the age of 80. The morbidity and mortality rate were significantly lower in female than those of male aged 60; however, after the age of 65, the morbidity rate was increased rapidly and gradually approached as that of male. After the age of 80 (the peak morbidity and mortality were 104.40/100,000 and 132.87/100,000, respectively), male were about twice as high as those female aged between 75 and 79.Conclusion:Morbidity and mortality rate of liver cancer in the certain District showed an overall downward trend from 2017 to 2019, but it increased with age, and the disease burden was relatively high among the elderly population. Liver cancer mostly occurred in male, so the prevention and control of liver cancer epidemics in middle-aged and elderly should be actively monitored.

Objective:To compare the effects of two pretreatment schemes on the efficacy, gonad and reproductive function of haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients with severe aplastic anemia(SAA).Methods:The data of 73 patients with SAA who underwent haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were analyzed retrospectively.The pretreatment scheme was divided into Fludarabine+ Cyclophosphamide+ Antithymocyte globulin group(FC lowATG group, 45 cases)and Busulfan+ Cyclophosphamide+ Antithymocyte globulin group(Bucy/ATG group, 28 cases). The changes of blood cell implantation time, follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol and testosterone were compared between the two groups. Results:there was no significant difference in blood cell implantation time between the two groups( P=0.096; P=0.133). The levels of FSH and LH in female recipients in Bucy/ATG group were higher than those in FC lowATG group, and the level of estradiol was lower than that in FC lowATG group.There were significant differences between the groups(all P<0.05). The pregnancy or fertility rate of female recipients in Bucy/ATG group was lower than that in FC lowATG group(all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in FSH, LH, testosterone and fertility between the two groups(all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in 2-year overall survival rate and failure free survival rate between the two groups( P=0.091; P=0.084). Conclusions:FC lowATG may be an effective pretreatment scheme for haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in SAA with less damage to gonad and reproductive function.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified FC/ATG pretreatment in the treatment of severe aplastic anemia(SAA).Methods:From June 2012 to June 2020, clinical data of 64 patients with severe aplastic anemia undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with modified FC/ATG(Flu 30 mg·m -2·d -l, -5~-2 d、CTX 50 mg·kg -1·d -1~-2 d、ATG: 2.5 mg·kg -1·d -1, -5~-2 d) pretreatment were retrospectively analyzed.There were MSD-HSCT ( n=29) and Haplo-HSCT ( n=35). Results:One patient died of intracerebral hemorrhage before transplantation and the remainders were completely implanted.During a median follow-up period of 14.5(1-95) months, overall survival (OS) rate of 92.2%.It was significantly higher than OS rate of 67.2% in the treatment of SAA by foreign pretreatment regimens containing low-dose TBI.And pretreatment scheme containing FC+ BU/TBI had an OS of slightly >91.3% in the treatment of SAA.The 3-year OS rates were 85.7% and 93.5% in Haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups ( P=0.058). The OS rate of SAA Haplo-HSCT/MSD-HSCT group was similar to that of " Beijing Protocol" (BU/CY+ ATG) (89%, 91%). The viral infection rates of EB and CMV were significantly higher in haplo-HSCT group than those in MSD-HSCT group and inter-group difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). However, univariate analysis showed that two groups had no effect on survival time ( P=0.403, P=0.132). Univariate analysis showed that survival time was significantly associated with the presence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ° aGVHD and the presence of severe complications ( P=0.007, P=0.001). Further multivariate analysis revealed that severe complication was an independent risk factor for survival ( P=0.003). Conclusions:The efficacy of improved FC/ATG pretreatment in the treatment of SAA in MSD-HSCT or Haplo-HSCT is higher than other domestic and international pretreatment schemes in OS rate, safety and effectiveness.Onset of severe complication and association with Ⅲ ~ Ⅳ ° aGVHD are the influencing factors for patient survival.The efficacy of Haplo-HSCT group is similar to that of MSD-HSCT group.It may be employed as an alternative donor for SAA patients without fully congruent donors.

Objective    To investigate CT image features of ground glass opacity (GGO)-like 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia (COVID-19) and early-stage lung carcinoma for control and therapy of this acute severe respiratory disease. Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 71 GGO-like COVID-19 patients who received therapy in Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology between January 17th and February 13th, 2020. These 71 GGO-like COVID-19 patients were as a COVID-19 group. And 80 GGO-like early-stage lung carcinoma patients who underwent resection were as a lung carcinoma group. Clinical features such as sex, age, symptoms including fever, cough, fatigue, myalgia and dyspnea, detailed exposure history, confirmatory test (SARS-CoV-2 quantitative RT-PCR) and pathologic diagnosis were analyzed. Results    Significantly different symptoms and exposure history between the two groups were detected (P<0.001). More lesions (61 patients at percentage of 85.92%, P<0.001), relative peripheral locations (69 patients at percentage of 97.18%, P<0.001) and larger opacities (65 patients at percentage of 91.55%, P<0.001) were found in chest radiographs of GGO-like COVID-19 compared with GGO-like early-stage lung carcinoma. Similar features appeared in early-stage of COVID-19 and lung carcinoma, while pneumonia developed into more extensive and basal predominant lung consolidation. Coexistence of GGO-like COVID-19 and early-stage lung carcinoma might occur. Conclusion    Considering these similar and unique features of GGO-like COVID-19 and early-stage lung carcinoma, it is necessary to understand short time re-examination of chest radiographs and other diagnostic methods of these two diseases. We believe that the findings reported here are important for diagnosis and control of COVID-19 in China.

Objective To explore the relationship between red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW) and degree of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods One hundred and sixty-four patients with CHB were consecutively selected. According to the fibrosis index based on the 4 factors (FIB-4) index, the patients were divided into 3 groups: low-FIB group (FIB-4 <1.45, 116 cases), mid-FIB group (FIB-4 1.45-3.25, 31 cases) and high-FIB group (FIB-4 > 3.25, 17 cases), and the clinical data and laboratory indexes (including RDW) were compared. The patients were divided into Ⅰ group (RDW<0.113, 43 cases), Ⅱ groups (RDW 0.113-0.119, 40 cases), Ⅲ group (RDW 0.120-0.127, 43 cases) andⅣgroup (RDW>0.127, 38 cases) according to the RDW, and the FIB-4 were compared. The correlation between RDW and FIB-4 was analyzed by Spearman correlation test. Results The RDW and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in low-FIB group, mid-FIB group and high- FIB group were gradually increased: 0.117 ± 0.011, 0.122 ± 0.010, 0.134 ± 0.018 and (18.9 ± 7.3), (28.2 ± 10.4), (44.1 ± 13.3) U/L, but the platelet was gradually decreased:(211.3 ± 48.8), (159.3 ± 40.0) and (150.4 ± 31.2) ×109/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The FIB-4 inⅠgroup,Ⅱgroup,Ⅲgroup andⅣgroup was gradually increased:1.07 ± 0.74, 1.11 ± 0.56, 1.35 ± 0.70 and 2.03 ± 1.06, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Spearman correlation test result showed that FIB-4 and RDW was positively correlated (r=0.447, P<0.01). Conclusions The level of RDW is closely related with the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with CHB. RDW has a potential value in assessing the progress of liver fibrosis.

Objective To observe the clinical effects and safety of sodium valproate combined with decitabine for treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Methods Forty-two patients with MDS were enrolled in department of hematology in Shanxi Dayi Hospital from February 2012 to February 2017. According to random number table, the patients were divided into the control group (21 cases) and the experimental group (21 cases). The patients in the control group received decitabine at the dose of 20 mg·m-2·d-1, and intravenous infusion was completed in 2 hours, continuous therapy up to 5 days, 4 weeks as a course; the patients in the experimental group received combined medication, orally given sodium valproate 0.2 g once, 3 times per day. One week later, the dosage was added to 0.4 g once, 3 times per day. Both groups received at least 4 courses of treatment. The treatment was stopped when serious adverse reactions or obvious disease progression occurred. The bone marrow smear was rechecked every 4 weeks after treatment to evaluate the efficacy. The expressions of ASXL1, DNMT3A and TET2 in bone marrow cells were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR before and after treatment. Results The total treatment response rate of the experimental group and the control group were 76.2 % (16/21) and 57.1 % (12/21) respectively, and there was statistically significant difference (P< 0.05); the total remission rate of the two groups was 47.6 % (10/21) and 38.1 %(8/21) respectively, and there was no significant difference (P> 0.05). All patients had slight adverse reactions, and the adverse reaction rate was 42.9 % (9/21) and 38.1 % (8/21), and there was no significant difference (P>0.05). The content of TET2 mRNA and DNMT3A mRNA after treatment in both groups were decreased compared with the expressions before treatment, and there were significant differences (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups after treatment (P> 0.05); the content of ASXL1 mRNA had no obvious change in the control group and a dramatic decrease in the experimental group compared with that before treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Sodium valproate combined with decitabine has favorable effects and mild adverse reactions for treatment of MDS, besides, it can influence the expressions of TET2, DNMT3A and ASXL1.
