    Abstract Early seizure prediction is crucial for epilepsy patients to reduce accidental injuries and improve their quality of life. Identifying pre-ictal EEG from the inter-ictal state is particularly challenging due to their nonictal nature and remarkable similarities. In this study, a novel epileptic seizure prediction method is proposed based on multi-head attention (MHA) augmented convolutional neural network (CNN) to address the issue of CNN's limit of capturing global information of input signals. First, data enhancement is performed on original EEG recordings to balance the pre-ictal and inter-ictal EEG data, and the EEG recordings are sliced into 6-second-long EEG segments. Subsequently, EEG time-frequency distribution is obtained using Stockwell transform (ST), and the attention augmented convolutional network is employed for feature extraction and classification. Finally, post-processing is utilized to reduce the false prediction rate (FPR). The CHB-MIT EEG database was used to evaluate the system. The validation results showed a segment-based sensitivity of 98.24% and an event-based sensitivity of 94.78% with a FPR of 0.05/h were yielded, respectively. The satisfying results of the proposed method demonstrate its possible potential for clinical applications.

    Abstract Automatic seizure detection plays a key role in assisting clinicians for rapid diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. In view of the parallelism of temporal convolutional network (TCN) and the capability of bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) in mining the long-range dependency of multi-channel time-series, we propose an automatic seizure detection method with a novel end-to-end TCN-BiLSTM model in this work. First, raw EEG is filtered with a 0.5-45 Hz band-pass filter, and the filtered data are input into the proposed TCN-BiLSTM network for feature extraction and classification. Post-processing process including moving average filtering, thresholding and collar technique is then employed to further improve the detection performance. The method was evaluated on two EEG database. On the CHB-MIT scalp EEG database, our method achieved a segment-based sensitivity of 94.31%, specificity of 97.13%, and accuracy of 97.09%. Meanwhile, an event-based sensitivity of 96.48% and an average false detection rate (FDR) of 0.38/h were obtained. On the SH-SDU database we collected, the segment-based sensitivity of 94.99%, specificity of 93.25%, and accuracy of 93.27% were achieved. In addition, an event-based sensitivity of 99.35% and a false detection rate of 0.54/h were yielded. The total detection time consumed for 1[Formula: see text]h EEG data was 5.65[Formula: see text]s. These results demonstrate the superiority and promising potential of the proposed method in real-time monitoring of epileptic seizures.

    Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) plays a crucial role in epilepsy analysis, and epileptic seizure prediction has significant value for clinical treatment of epilepsy. Currently, prediction methods using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) primarily focus on local features of EEG, making it challenging to simultaneously capture the spatial and temporal features from multi-channel EEGs to identify the preictal state effectively. In order to extract inherent spatial relationships among multi-channel EEGs while obtaining their temporal correlations, this study proposed an end-to-end model for the prediction of epileptic seizures by incorporating Graph Attention Network (GAT) and Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN). Low-pass filtered EEG signals were fed into the GAT module for EEG spatial feature extraction, and followed by TCN to capture temporal features, allowing the end-to-end model to acquire the spatiotemporal correlations of multi-channel EEGs. The system was evaluated on the publicly available CHB-MIT database, yielding segment-based accuracy of 98.71%, specificity of 98.35%, sensitivity of 99.07%, and

    Abstract Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease associated with abnormal neuronal activity in the brain. Seizure detection algorithms are essential in reducing the workload of medical staff reviewing electroencephalogram (EEG) records. In this work, we propose a novel automatic epileptic EEG detection method based on Stockwell transform and Transformer. First, the S-transform is applied to the original EEG segments, acquiring accurate time-frequency representations. Subsequently, the obtained time-frequency matrices are grouped into different EEG rhythm blocks and compressed as vectors in these EEG sub-bands. After that, these feature vectors are fed into the Transformer network for feature selection and classification. Moreover, a series of post-processing methods were introduced to enhance the efficiency of the system. When evaluating the public CHB-MIT database, the proposed algorithm achieved an accuracy of 96.15%, a sensitivity of 96.11%, a specificity of 96.38%, a precision of 96.33%, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.98 in segment-based experiments, along with a sensitivity of 96.57%, a false detection rate of 0.38/h, and a delay of 20.62 s in event-based experiments. These outstanding results demonstrate the feasibility of implementing this seizure detection method in future clinical applications.

    Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common carcinogens. Benzo(a)pyrene is one of the most difficult high-molecular-weight (HMW) PAHs to remove. Biodegradation has become an ideal method to eliminate PAH pollutants from the environment. The existing research is mostly limited to low-molecular-weight PAHs; there is little understanding of HMW PAHs, particularly benzo(a)pyrene. Research into the biodegradation of HMW PAHs contributes to the development of microbial metabolic mechanisms and also provides new systems for environmental treatments.

    Abstract Dysregulated bile acid (BA)/lipid metabolism and gut bacteria dysbiosis are tightly associated with the development of obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The orphan nuclear receptor, Small Heterodimer Partner (SHP/NR0B2), is a key regulator of BA/lipid metabolism, and its gene-regulating function is markedly enhanced by phosphorylation at Thr-58 mediated by a gut hormone, fibroblast growth factor-15/19 (FGF15/19). To investigate the role of this phosphorylation in whole-body energy metabolism, we generated transgenic SHP-T58A knock-in mice. Compared with wild-type (WT) mice, the phosphorylation-defective SHP-T58A mice gained weight more rapidly with decreased energy expenditure and increased lipid/BA levels. This obesity-prone phenotype was associated with the upregulation of lipid/BA synthesis genes and downregulation of lipophagy/β-oxidation genes. Mechanistically, defective SHP phosphorylation selectively impaired its interaction with LRH-1, resulting in de-repression of SHP/LRH-1 target BA/lipid synthesis genes. Remarkably, BA composition and selective gut bacteria which are known to impact obesity, were also altered in these mice. Upon feeding a high-fat diet, fatty liver developed more severely in SHP-T58A mice compared to WT mice. Treatment with antibiotics substantially improved the fatty liver phenotypes in both groups but had greater effects in the T58A mice so that the difference between the groups was largely eliminated. These results demonstrate that defective phosphorylation at a single nuclear receptor residue can impact whole-body energy metabolism by altering BA/lipid metabolism and gut bacteria, promoting complex metabolic disorders like NAFLD. Since posttranslational modifications generally act in gene- and context-specific manners, the FGF15/19-SHP phosphorylation axis may allow more targeted therapy for NAFLD.

    Abstract Background & aims: Metabolic reprogramming is essential for the activation and functions of macrophages, including bacterial killing and cytokine production. Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) has emerged as a critical regulator of innate immune response. However, the potential role of BRD4 in the metabolic reprogramming of macrophage activation upon Helicobacter pylori infection remains unclear.
    Methods: Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from wild-type (WT) and Brd4-myeloid deletion conditional knockout (Brd4-CKO) mice were infected with H pylori. RNA sequencing was performed to evaluate the differential gene expression between WT and Brd4-deficient BMDMs upon infection. An in vivo model of H pylori infection using WT and Brd4-CKO mice was used to confirm the role of BRD4 in innate immune response to infection.
    Results: Depletion of Brd4 in BMDMs showed impaired H pylori-induced glycolysis. In addition, H pylori-induced expression of glycolytic genes, including Slc2a1 and Hk2, was decreased in Brd4-deficient BMDMs. BRD4 was recruited to the promoters of Slc2a1 and Hk2 via hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, facilitating their expression. BRD4-mediated glycolysis stabilized H pylori-induced nitric oxide synthase (Nos2) messenger RNA to produce nitric oxide. The NO-mediated killing of H pylori decreased in Brd4-deficient BMDMs, which was rescued by pyruvate. Furthermore, Brd4-CKO mice infected with H pylori showed reduced gastric inflammation and increased H pylori colonization with reduced inducible NO synthase expression in gastric macrophages.
    Conclusions: Our study identified BRD4 as a key regulator of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α-dependent glycolysis and macrophage activation. Furthermore, we show a novel regulatory role of BRD4 in innate immunity through glycolysis to stabilize Nos2 messenger RNA for NO production to eliminate H pylori infection.
