RESUMO
Studies exploring the neurophysiology of suicide are scarce and the neuropathology of related disorders is poorly understood. This study investigated source-level cortical functional networks using resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) in drug-naïve depressed patients with suicide attempt (SA) and suicidal ideation (SI). EEG was recorded in 55 patients with SA and in 54 patients with SI. Particularly, all patients with SA were evaluated using EEG immediately after their SA (within 7 days). Graph-theory-based source-level weighted functional networks were assessed using strength, clustering coefficient (CC), and path length (PL) in seven frequency bands. Finally, we applied machine learning to differentiate between the two groups using source-level network features. At the global level, patients with SA showed lower strength and CC and higher PL in the high alpha band than those with SI. At the nodal level, compared with patients with SI, patients with SA showed lower high alpha band nodal CCs in most brain regions. The best classification performances for SA and SI showed an accuracy of 73.39%, a sensitivity of 76.36%, and a specificity of 70.37% based on high alpha band network features. Our findings suggest that abnormal high alpha band functional network may reflect the pathophysiological characteristics of suicide and serve as a clinical biomarker for suicide.

Differentiating between the diagnoses of mood disorders and other psychiatric disorders, and predicting treatment response in depression has long been a concern for clinicians. Machine learning (ML) is one part of artificial intelligence that focuses on instructing computers to mimic the cognitive abilities of the human brain through training. This study will review the research on the use of ML techniques to differentiate diagnoses and predict treatment responses in mood disorders based on electroencephalography (EEG) data. There have been several attempts to differentiate between the diagnoses of bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder , mood disorders, and other psychiatric disorders using ML techniques found on EEG markers. Previous studies have shown that accuracy varies depending on which EEG markers are used, the sample size, and the ML technique. Also, precise and improved ML approaches can be developed by adapting the various feature selection and validation methods that reflect each disease's characteristics. Although ML faces some limitations and challenges in solving for consistent and improved accuracy in the diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders, it has a great potential to understand mood disorders better and provide valuable tools to personalize both identification and treatment.
RESUMO
Acanthogobius lactipes is a demersal, euryhaline fish belonging to the suborder Gobiodei. This study sequenced and described the complete mitochondrial genome of A. lactipes for the first time. The circular genome of A. lactipes is 16,592 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The overall A, C, G, and T contents were 27.78, 27.31, 17.52, and 27.39%, respectively. Based on the 13 protein-coding genes, the phylogenetic tree showed that A. lactipes formed a well-supported cluster with the genus Acanthogobius and rooted with other family Oxudercidae species.
