Early screening for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is crucial, yet current assessment tools in Chinese primary child care are limited efficacy. This study aims to employ machine learning algorithms identify key indicators from the 20-item Modified Checklist Autism Toddlers, revised (M-CHAT-R) combining with ASD-related sociodemographic and environmental factors, distinguish ASD typically developing children. Data our prior validation of M-CHAT-R (August 2016-March 2017, n = 6,049 toddlers)...
Semantic segmentation is crucial in medical image diagnosis. Traditional deep convolutional neural networks excel classification and object detection but fall short tasks. Enhancing the accuracy efficiency of detecting high-level cervical lesions invasive cancer poses a primary challenge model development.Between 2018 2022, we retrospectively studied total 777 patients, comprising 339 patients with 313 microinvasive or cancer. Overall, 1554 colposcopic images were put into DeepLabv3+ for...
Sleep is indispensable for humans to maintain normal life activities. Sex and individual differences in sleep patterns quality of cannot be ignored. Nevertheless, the overall population generalities sex- or individual- cerebral cortical functional connectivity (FC) during have not been well described. Here, we evaluated characteristic FC based on whole-night electroencephalography (EEG) recordings. An improved weighted phase lag index (WPLI) algorithm was applied obtain delta (0.5-4Hz),...
Abstract The aim of this study is to ascertain the mechanisms cognitive reserve disorder in age-related hearing loss (ARHL), correlation between ARHL and decline via EEG, reverse adverse remodeling auditory–cognitive connectivity with aids (HAs). In study, 32 participants were enrolled, including 12 ARHLs, 9 HAs, 11 healthy controls (HCs), undergo Pure Tone Average (PTA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), other general tests. There lowest MoCA group (P = 0.001), especially language...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) integrating into human genome is the main cause of cervical carcinogenesis. HPV integration selection preference shows strong dependence on local genomic environment. Due to this theory, it possible predict sites. However, a published bioinformatic tool not available date. Thus, we developed an attention-based deep learning model DeepHPV sites by environment features automatically. In total, 3608 known were applied train model, and 584 reviewed used as testing...
Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, the pathophysiology between them not yet clear. This paper seeks to understand how respiratory events impact system by heart rate variability. We compared differences successional pathological (PR) and pure normal respiration (NR) during sleep. The transitions (TR) were also analyzed. Thirteen patients who suffered moderate or severe SAHS enrolled in this study. results demonstrate that...
Abstract Background The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the main causes viral and liver cancer. HBV integration key steps in virus-promoted malignant transformation. Results An attention-based deep learning model, DeepHBV, was developed to predict sites. By local genomic features automatically, DeepHBV trained tested using site data from dsVIS database. Initially, showed an AUROC 0.6363 AUPR 0.5471 for dataset. repeat peaks TCGA Pan-Cancer significantly improved model performance, with...
Depressive patients show less altruistic behavior. While, older adults present higher tendencies for altruism than younger adults. Depression and age are two of the influencing factors altruism, kynurenine (KYN), its metabolites. However, characteristics in late-life depression (LLD) possible underlying mechanism have not been studied.We aimed to explore LLD neurobiological structural brain network. We investigated whether levels metabolites pathway (KP) white matter (WM) network topological...
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is one of the most prevalent DNA oncogenic viruses. The integration EBV into host genome has been reported to play an important role in cancer development. preference showed strong dependence on local genomic environment, which enables prediction sites.An attention-based deep learning model, DeepEBV, was developed predict sites by features automatically. First, DeepEBV trained and tested using data from dsVIS database. results that with sequences plus Repeat peaks...
Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is an independent risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases. Electrocardiogram (ECG) features such as the RR, PR, QT, QTc, Tpe intervals and Tpe/QT, Tpe/QTc ratios are used to predict study It not clear whether regular patterns of PR Tpe-related across sleep stages exist in SAHSs or healthy controls nor affect short- long-range influences respiratory events on ECG indices. We enrolled 36 35 patients with SAHS our analyzed abovementioned features. In...

Introduction Sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) can change brain structure and function. These alterations are related to respiratory event-induced abnormal sleep, however, how activity changes during these events is less well understood. Methods To study information content interaction among various cortical regions, we analyzed the variations of permutation entropy (PeEn) symbolic transfer (STE) electroencephalography (EEG) events. In this study, 57 patients with moderate SAHS were...
