In this study, we used gene expression array data from the GEO database to analyze common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the temporal cortex of patients with AD and VaD. AD and VaD shared 143 DEGs. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis showed that the biological function of common DEGs was mainly related to chemical synaptic transmission, neuroactive ligand-receptor, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis showed the interaction of down- and up-regulated DEGs. The mRNA expression levels of key proteins in neuroactive ligand-receptor and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway were verified in AD and VaD mice. The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) test was used to detect the expression of DEGs. Data of RT-qPCR showed the mRNA level of γ-aminobutyric acid type B receptor subunit 1 (GABBR1) was decreased in both AD and VaD. In addition, the mRNA of interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA), IL-17 and IL-18 were increased. In conclusion, the shared genes in AD and VaD were verified in our study.

Many prognostic models based on gene signatures include genes from the CASPs family in diffuse glioma. CASP3, CASP4 and CASP6 in glioma have been studied individually. However, specialized comprehensive analysis of the roles CASPs family in glioma is lacking. Therefore, this study utilized bioinformatics methods to investigate this issue. CASP1-10 expressions were significantly up-regulated in LGG and GBM and glioma, and varied significantly across different clinical subgroups of glioma and LGG and various cell types, and most of CASP1-10 showed significant differences in recurrence status of LGG. 10 signatures (CASP1-10) were associated with poor overall survival (OS) in glioma and LGG and GBM. However, pan-cancer survival analysis showed that CASP1-10 were associated with the prognosis of LGG, but not GBM. CASP1-10 were related to poor prognosis of glioma and LGG, except for CASP9, which was the opposite of a protective factor. CASP1-10 were independent prognostic factors for OS in glioma and LGG, except for CASP5, and also for recurrence-free survival (RFS) in LGG. Most of CASP1-10 were also independent prognostic factors for disease-specific survival (DSS) and progression-free interval (PFI) and had diagnostic value in glioma and LGG. Genetic alterations of CASP1-10 genes set were associated with poor prognosis in LGG. CASP1-10 were involved in immune infiltration and programmed cell death in glioma and LGG and GBM, and might promote the apoptosis of immune cells. Compared to GBM, CASP1-10 had a more significant impact on the prognosis, cancer-related pathways, and immune infiltration in LGG, indicating that CASP1-10 might play important roles in the recurrence and progression of LGG, and might be promising therapeutic targets for LGG.

PD is characterized by the progressive loss of nigrostriatal neurons, α-synuclein protein aggregation, reduced tyrosine hydroxylase level, and impaired dopamine signaling. Neuroinflammation plays a key role in PD progression, with elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines promoting M1 microglial activation, which exacerbates neurodegeneration. Conversely, anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 and IL-4 help shift microglia to the neuroprotective M2 phenotype, reducing inflammation. Animal models show an imbalance with increased M1 and reduced M2 microglia. This study explored the neuroprotective effects of treadmill exercise in a rotenone-induced PD mouse model. After 21 days of exercise, behavioral impairments improved, as shown by open field tests, Rota-rod, and footprint analysis. Exercise also reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines; TNF-α, and IL-1β levels while increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines; IL-10, and IL-4.

However, the existing HD detection methods are struggle with limited annotated datasets that restricts their generalization performance. This research work proposes a novel MIMI-ONET for primary detection of HD using augmented multi-modal brain MRI images. The two-dimensional stationary wavelet transform (2DSWT) decomposes the MRI images into different frequency wavelet sub-bands. These sub-bands are enhanced with Contract Stretching Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CSAHE) and Multi-scale Adaptive Retinex (MSAR) by reducing the irrelevant distortions. The proposed MIMI-ONET introduces a Hepta Generative Adversarial Network (Hepta-GAN) to generates different noise-free HD images based on hepta azimuth angles (45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°). Hepta-GAN incorporates Affine Estimation Module (AEM) to extract the multi-scale features using dilated convolutional layers for efficient HD image generation. Moreover, Hepta-GAN is normalized with Butterfly Optimization (BO) algorithm for enhancing augmentation performance by balancing the parameters. Finally, the generated images are given to Deep neural network (DNN) for the classification of normal control (NC), Adult-Onset HD (AHD) and Juvenile HD (JHD) cases. The ability of the proposed MIMI-ONET is evaluated with precision, specificity, f1 score, recall, and accuracy, PSNR and MSE. From the experimental results, the proposed MIMI-ONET attains the accuracy of 98.85% and reaches PSNR value of 48.05 based on the gathered Image-HD dataset.
