Patients with Parkinson's disease have great difficulty performing learned movements automatically. The neural contribution to the problem has not been identified. In current study, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) investigate underlying mechanisms of movement automaticity in patients. Fifteen patients were recruited. Three finally excluded because they could achieve automaticity. remaining 12 aged from 52 67 years, a mean age 61.2 years. Controls included 14 age-matched...

There is evidence that aged normal subjects have more difficulty in achieving automaticity than young subjects. The underlying central neural mechanism for this phenomenon unclear. In the present study, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate effect of ageing on automaticity. Aged healthy were asked practice self-initiated, self-paced, memorized sequential finger movements with different complexity until they could perform tasks automatically. Automaticity...

Recently, the study of multi-modal brain connectome has recorded a tremendous increase and facilitated diagnosis disorders. In this paradigm, functional structural networks, e.g., connectivity derived from fMRI DTI, are in some manner interacted but not necessarily linearly related. Accordingly, there remains great challenge to leverage complementary information for analysis. Graph Convolutional Networks (GNN) have been widely applied fusion connectome. However, most existing GNN methods...

Evidence regarding brain structural atrophy associated with Freezing of Gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is inconsistent. We analyzed cortical thickness and subcortical nuclei volumes using FreeSurfer two large PD cohorts. In cohort 1 (N = 316), multivariate analyses identified reduced pallidum ventral diencephalon (VDC) as significantly FOG presence. Validation the Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) (cohort 2, N 94) demonstrated that decreased VDC volume at four-year follow-up...

Neuroimaging studies suggest a pivotal role of amygdala dysfunction in non-motor symptoms (NMS) Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the relationship between subregions (the centromedial (CMA), basolateral (BLA) and superficial (SFA)) NMS has not been delineated. We used resting-state functional MRI to examine PD-related alterations connectivity for subregions. The left three right BLA exhibited between-group differences, were commonly hypo-connected with frontal, temporal, insular cortex,...

A novel algorithm for font recognition on a single unknown Chinese character, independent of the identity is proposed in this paper. We employ wavelet transform character image and extract features from transformed image. After Box-Cox transformation LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) process, discriminating are extracted classified through MQDF (Modified Quadric Distance Function) classifier with only one prototype each class.

Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is among the leading causes of death worldwide. Ferroptosis refers to an iron-dependent form regulated cell and involved in prostate tumorigenesis. A few ferroptosis-related gene signatures have been developed predict prognosis for PCa patients. However, previous were typically established based on biochemical recurrence-free survival, which has proven not be a good surrogate overall survival (OS). This study aimed construct novel prognostic index (FRGPI)...

Reactivation of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F, α2γ2) has been demonstrated to be a therapeutic strategy for patients with β-hemoglobinopathies. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by silencing RNA. Both coding and non-coding can compete the same miRNAs, acting as competing endogenous (ceRNAs). However, role ceRNAs in β-thalassemia major (β-TM) their impact on γ-globin remains poorly understood. In this study, we conducted transcriptome sequencing collect...
