An arterial spin labeling-based radiomics signature and machine learning for the prediction and detection of various stages of kidney damage due to diabetes.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

December 2024

National Health Commission (NHC) Key Laboratory of Hormones and Development, Chu Hsien-I Memorial Hospital and Tianjin Institute of Endocrinology, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to evaluate how well a radiomics signature from arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging can predict and detect kidney damage in diabetic patients and to find imaging risk factors for early renal injury.
  • The research involved three groups: healthy volunteers, diabetic individuals with mild kidney issues (microalbuminuria), and patients with severe diabetic nephropathy, using advanced MRI techniques to analyze kidney texture features.
  • A variety of machine learning models were employed to create predictive tools that can identify early kidney injury and monitor its progression, linking the radiomics features to biological indicators of kidney health.

Background: Accurate calculation of lung cancer dose using the Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm in CyberKnife (CK) is essential for precise planning. We aim to employ deep learning to directly predict the 3D dose distribution calculated by the MC algorithm, enabling rapid and accurate automatic planning. However, most current methods solely focus on conventional intensity-modulated radiation therapy and assume a consistent beam configuration across all patients.

Objectives: Accurate beam modelling is essential for dose calculation in stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT), such as CyberKnife treatment. However, the present deep learning methods only involve patient anatomical images and delineated masks for training. These studies generally focus on traditional intensity-modulated radiation therapy (RT) plans.

Purpose: Patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) in the relapsed or refractory (r/r) setting have only a limited number of therapies available, and the prognosis is extremely poor. SHR2554 is an oral inhibitor against EZH2, a rational therapeutic target for lymphomas.

Patients And Methods: This was a multicenter, two-part, phase I study of SHR2554 in r/r mature lymphoid neoplasms.

Background: In recent years, the detection rate of ground-glass nodules (GGNs) has been improved dramatically due to the popularization of low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening with high-resolution CT technique. This presents challenges for the characterization and management of the GGNs, which depends on a thorough investigation and sufficient diagnostic knowledge of the GGNs. In most diagnostic studies of the GGNs, morphological manifestations are used to differentiate benignancy and malignancy.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the Fourth Medical Center of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital, Beijing 100142, China ColIege of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital, National Clinical Research Center for Otolaryngologic Diseases, Beijing 100048, China.

To assess the incidence of symptomatic torus tubarius hypertrophy (TTH) in recurred OSA in children, and to explore the preliminary experience of partial resection of TTH assisted with radiofrequency ablation. From January 2004 to February 2020, 4 922 children, who diagnosed as OSA and received adenotonsillectomy at the Department of Otolaryngology, The 4th Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital, were retrospectively reviewed. There were 3 266 males and 1 656 females, the age ranged from 1 to 14 years old(median age of 5.

Purpose: This study focused on predicting 3D dose distribution at high precision and generated the prediction methods for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (NPC) treated with Tomotherapy based on the patient-specific gap between organs at risk (OARs) and planning target volumes (PTVs).

Methods: A convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained using the CT and contour masks as the input and dose distributions as output. The CNN is based on the "3D Dense-U-Net", which combines the U-Net and the Dense-Net.

To establish a disease risk prediction model for the newborn screening system of inherited metabolic diseases by artificial intelligence technology. This was a retrospectively study. Newborn screening data (5 907 547) from February 2010 to May 2019 from 31 hospitals in China and verified data (=3 028) from 34 hospitals of the same period were collected to establish the artificial intelligence model for the prediction of inherited metabolic diseases in neonates.
