In the past decade, with advancement and implementation of sequencing technology, millions human genomes have been sequenced, a plethora sequences could be accessed in public databases. Consequently, various genetic changes within ABO genes identified.1 Here, we report novel B allele variation (c.567G>A) exon 7 ABO*B.01 allele, which is associated weak phenotype. The proband was 6-year-old girl from clinical hospital. phenotype determined using traditional tube methods, involved use anti-A,...

An abnormal state of the central auditory system (CAS) likely plays a large role in occurrence phantom sound tinnitus. Various tinnitus studies using resting-state functional MRI (RS-fMRI) have reported aberrant spontaneous brain activity non-auditory and altered connectivity between CAS system. This study aimed to investigate connections whole patients, compared healthy controls (HC) RS-fMRI.RS-fMRI from 16 right-ear patients with normal hearing (TNHs) 15 HC individuals was collected, time...

Epilepsy is a disease caused by abnormal discharges in the central nervous system. Automatic detection and accurate identification of epileptic seizures based on electroencephalography (EEG) are significant clinical diagnosis treatment epilepsy. In this paper, we first decompose patient's EEG signal into multiple intrinsic modal functions (IMFs) using empirical decomposition, then compute mean, standard deviation, fluctuation index, sample entropy IMF1, finally classify them fusion algorithm...

Tinnitus refers to the auditory perception of sound in absence external or electric stimuli. The influence tinnitus on cognitive processing is at cutting edge ongoing research. In this study, we adopted an objective indicator attentional processing, i.e. mismatch negativity (MMN), assess bias patients with decompensated tinnitus. Three kinds pure tones, D1 (8,000 Hz), S (8,500 Hz) and D2 (9,000 were used induce event-related potentials (ERPs) normal ear. Employing oddball paradigm, task was...

Background: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been demonstrated to play a vital role in diversity of biological processes cancers. With the emergence new evidence, important function CSCs formation multidrug resistance nasopharyngeal cancer has demonstrated. Dysregulated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is an contributor chemoresistance and maintenance CSCs-like characteristics. This research aims investigate comprehensively dihydromyricetin (DMY), natural flavonoid drug, on cisplatin (cis) cell...

Due to the socio-cultural differences between China and other countries, which may affect development of an individual's personality behavior, it is necessary explore relationship traits tinnitus distress in context China's background.The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Short Scale Chinese version were used influence on patients with tinnitus.The results not entirely consistent previous studies from countries. First, extroversion was significantly higher...

At present, the mechanisms underlying changes in visual processing individuals with tinnitus remain unclear. We therefore investigated whether vision dominates of disappear at preresponse level through behavioral study. A total 38 and 31 healthy controls completed a task which they were asked to attend either or auditory stimuli while ignoring simultaneous stimulus inputs from other modality. manipulated three levels congruency between inputs: congruent (C), incongruent (PRIC), response...

The visual processing capacity of tinnitus patients is worse than normal controls, indicating cross-modal interference. However, the mechanism underlying tinnitus-modulated largely unclear. In order to explore influence on processing, this study used a signal recognition paradigm observe whether group would display significantly longer reaction time in letter symbols (Experiment 1) and emotional faces 2) control group. Signal detection recognition, which reflect perceptual conceptual aspects...

Abstract Degeneration of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain is a neural marker ofAlzheimers disease and associated with perceptual cognitive deficits. An idea that hasattracted scientific scutiny aging makes brain more susceptible to neurodegenerativediseases such as Alzheimers. The purpose this study was compare effects loss ofcholinergic input from nucleus basalis Meynert on evoked activity posteromedial barrelsubfield somatosensory cortex young (2–2.5 months) aged (28–30...

Abstract Background: To improve healthcare quality, a preventive intervention system has been developed globally with routine newborn screening, diagnosis, intervention, and rehabilitation for congenital hearing impairment. An program Newborn Hearing Screening (NHS) was implemented in Guangdong Province, China, 1999, along molecular screening common inherited deafness mutations since 2011. Methods: We evaluated the clinical data impairment results of genetic testing genes that were collected...

The aim of this study was to explore the impact sleep quality on cognitive function in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus.

This study aimed to explore the correlation between extent of fundus damage and severity strategies for chronic kidney disease (CKD).

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The role of social support in the relief tinnitus distress and related mechanisms remains unclear. This study aimed to confirm a hypothesis that influence on is mediated by resilience self-esteem. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Social Support Rating Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Positive Version Rosenberg Self-Esteem Tinnitus Handicap Inventory were used assess 296 patients who experience chronic subjective tinnitus....

Our objective was to study the efficacy and safety of intratymapanic dexamethasone (ITD) for treating in Méniere's disease southern China.A total 124 patients with were randomly divided into 2 groups: ITD group (n = 62) intratympanic lidocaine (ITL) 62). The further groups based on dosage: ITD1 (2 mg/ml) 31) ITD2 (5 31). Symptom alleviation complications recorded after every treatment.Vertigo improved 65% who received compared 55% ITL (P < .05). Three had from otomycosis, these a...

The narrowband chirp (NB Chirp), a frequency-specific sound stimulus signal obtained by limiting the frequency bandwidth based on chirp, is applied to specified auditory brainstem response (fsABR) increasingly. Although some studies demonstrated that NB Chirp-evoked Chirp ABR) causes better neural than tone burst-evoked and preferred for fsABR, there little known about how estimate an individual's hearing level through threshold of ABR. present study intended compare accuracy deviation ABR...
