[PMID: 38589476 PMCID: PMC11001964 DOI: 10.1038/s41597-024-03200-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Maintaining sufficient cerebral oxygen metabolism is crucial for human survival, especially in challenging conditions such as high-altitudes. Human cognitive neural activity is sensitive to fluctuations in oxygen levels. However, there is a lack of publicly available datasets on human behavioural responses and cerebral dynamics assessments during the execution of conflicting tasks in natural hypoxic environments. We recruited 80 healthy new immigrant volunteers (males, aged 20 ± 2 years) and employed the Stroop cognitive conflict paradigm. After a two-week exposure to both high and low-altitudes, the behavioural performance, prefrontal oxygen levels, and electroencephalography (EEG) signals were recorded. Comparative analyses were conducted on the behavioural reaction times and accuracy during Stroop tasks, and statistical analyses of participants' prefrontal oxygen levels and EEG signals were performed. We anticipate that our open-access dataset will contribute to the development of monitoring devices and algorithms, designed specifically for measuring cerebral oxygen and EEG dynamics in populations exposed to extreme environments, particularly among individuals suffering from oxygen deficiency.

Abstract
Bipolar depression (BD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder characterized by recurring bouts of bipolar mania or hypomania followed by depression. In this essay, we used the functional near-infrared spectroscopy to investigate the frontal function of BD in males and females, which included a total of 43 BD patients and 28 healthy subjects. The hemodynamic response associated with the task was estimated using the generalized linear model (GLM) approach. Wavelet transforms coherence and Granger causality (GC) methods were employed to calculate brain connectivity. GLM and GC results revealed that female patients were more distinguishable from healthy controls than males. Additionally, the correlation between BD scores and GLM results showed that the brain activation of male subjects was affected by their anxiety levels. This study suggests that traditional diagnostic methods for BD may not be as sensitive in men as in women.

JOURNAL OF BIOPHOTONICS 2023; 16:e202300124. [PMID: 37264556 DOI: 10.1002/jbio.202300124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
Traditional acupuncture, a popular traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique, has demonstrated potential in relieving various ailments' symptoms. However, its black-box feedback loop model has limited proper evaluation and use by unskilled practitioners. This study aimed to analyze hemodynamic signals around acupoints during acupuncture to identify significant parameter changes. We designed hollow near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) probes for real-time measurements during acupuncture at acupoints, monitoring oxy-hemoglobin (HbO), deoxy-hemoglobin (Hb), and blood volume (HbT) changes. Acupuncture was performed on the "Xuehai" acupoint in 17 healthy subjects, with NIRS measuring hemodynamic alterations. Results showed significant and consistent increases in Hb and HbT around the acupoint, returning to baseline values after needle removal. One case of fainting revealed a significant Hb increase and HbO decrease. Acupuncture may induce tissue vasodilation and enhance oxygen consumption. This research provides a potential explanation for acupuncture's mechanism and emphasizes NIRS's potential in TCM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the intervention effect of intermittent Theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on anxiety and depression by using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy technology for confirming the effect of iTBS on anxiety and depression and providing new parameter basis for the treatment and development of rTMS. METHOD 37 patients with anxiety and depression were treated with rTMS intervention in iTBS mode, and the symptoms of depression and anxiety were assessed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at baseline and after 10 times of treatments. The brain activation was assessed by verbal fluency task. The scores of anxiety and depression were analyzed by paired sample t-test. RESULTS After 10 times of rTMS treatment in iTBS mode, the symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients were relieved. The anxiety scores before and after treatment were significantly different, and the post-test scores were significantly lower than the pre-test scores. Significant differences in depression scores were observed before and after treatment, and the post-test score was significantly lower than the pre-test score. In the brain functional connection, the connection of various brain regions was strengthened, and the strength of functional connection between all ROIs before the intervention was significantly lower than that after the intervention. Statistical significance was observed. CONCLUSION The intervention of iTBS model has a positive effect on improving symptoms and strengthening brain functional connection of patients with anxiety and depression. This performance supports the effectiveness of iTBS model in treating anxiety and depression.

Cortical response induced by task-oriented training of the upper limb in subacute stroke patients as assessed by functional near-infrared spectroscopy. JOURNAL OF BIOPHOTONICS 2023; 16:e202200228. [PMID: 36222197 DOI: 10.1002/jbio.202200228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Despite the popularity of task-oriented training for stroke, the cortical reorganization associated with this type of therapy remains to be fully elucidated due to the lack of dynamic assessment tools. A good tolerance for motion artifacts makes functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) suitable for investigating task-induced cortical responses in stroke patients. Here, patients were randomly assigned to receive task oriented (n = 25) or cyclic rotary training (n = 25) with simultaneous cortical activation and effective connectivity network analysis between prefrontal and motor cortices (PFC/MC). Compared with cyclic rotary training, task-oriented training induced significantly increased activation in both hemispheres and enhanced influence of PFC on MC. In addition, significantly decreased activation lateralization and increased betweenness centrality of the contralesional MC suggested widespread involvement of the contralesional hemisphere during task-oriented training. This study verifies the feasibility of fNIRS combined with motor paradigms for assessing neural responses associated with stroke rehabilitation in real time.

Brain Sci 2022; 12:brainsci12111562.

Abstract
Dysfunctional brain networks have been found in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). In this study, to verify this in a more straightforward way, we investigated the intrinsic organization of brain networks in MDD by leveraging the resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy (rs-fNIRS). Thirty-four MDD patients (24 females, 38.41 ± 13.14 years old) and thirty healthy controls (22 females, 34.43 ± 5.03 years old) underwent a 10 min rest while their brain activity was recorded via fNIRS. The results showed that MDD patients and healthy controls exhibited similar resting-state functional connectivity. Moreover, the depression group showed lower small-world Lambda (1.12 ± 0.04 vs. 1.16 ± 0.10, p = 0.04) but higher global efficiency (0.51 ± 0.03 vs. 0.48 ± 0.05, p = 0.03) than the control group. Importantly, MDD patients, as opposed to healthy controls, showed a significantly lower nodal local efficiency at the left middle occipital gyrus (0.56 ± 0.36 vs. 0.81 ± 0.20, pFDR < 0.05), which predicted the level of depression in MDD (r = 0.45, p = 0.01, R2 = 0.15). In sum, we found a more integrated brain network in MDD patients with a lower nodal local efficiency at the occipital hub, which could predict depressive symptoms.

Abstract
As more and more people stay inside the building for a long time, the indoor environment has a great effect on their health, mood, and work efficiency. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals reflect electrical activity originating from neuronal firing when a task or activity is performed. Since there was no study on the effect of indoor air on nerves, this study utilized EEG to preliminarily explore the brain functions of subjects during working memory tasks with different difficulties. The subjects were divided into two groups according to the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as odor irritants in the air. We expected to find the difference in subjects' EEG signals between VOCs and low-VOCs. The EEG signals from 60 electrodes were analyzed by event-related potential (ERP), event-related spectral power (ERSP), and correlation network methods to describe the brain activity. We compared the results of subjects in VOCs and low-VOCs and found significant differences between ERP and ERSP in the alpha band during a simple working memory task. Subjects were more sensitive to the VOCs in simple tasks than in complex tasks. Our work provided evidence of odor effects on brain functions and could be used to guide the design of indoor odor in home, offices, and classrooms.
