Tibial fractures account for approximately 15% of all fractures, typically resulting from high-energy trauma. A critical surgical approach to treat these fractures involves the fixation of the tibia using a plate with minimally invasive osteosynthesis. The selection and fixation of the implant plate are vital for stabilizing the fracture. This selection is highly dependent on the plate's stability, which is influenced by factors like the stresses generated in the plate due to the load on the bone, as well as the plate's length, thickness, and number of screw holes. Minimizing these stresses is essential to reduce the risk of implant failure, ensuring optimal stress distribution and promoting faster, more effective bone healing. In the present work, the finite element and statistical approach was used to optimize the geometrical parameters of the implant plate made of SS 316L steel and Ti6Al4V alloy. A 3D finite element model was developed for analyzing the stresses and deformation, and implant plates were manufactured to validate the results with the help of an experiment conducted on the universal testing machine. A strong correlation was observed between the experimental and predicted results, with an average error of 8.6% and 8.55% for SS316L and Ti6Al4V alloy, respectively. Further, using the signal-to-noise ratio for the minimum stress condition was applied to identify the optimum parameters of the plate. Finally, regression models were developed to predict the stresses generated in SS316L and Ti6Al4V alloy plates with different input conditions. The statistical model helps us to develop the relation between different geometrical parameters of the Tibia implant plate. As determined by the present work, the parameter most influencing is implant plate length. This outcome will be used to select the implant for a specific patient, resulting in a reduction in implant failure post-surgery.

胫骨骨折约占所有骨折的 15%,通常由高能量创伤造成。治疗这类骨折的关键手术方法是使用微创骨合成钢板固定胫骨。植入钢板的选择和固定对于稳定骨折至关重要。这种选择在很大程度上取决于钢板的稳定性,而钢板的稳定性则受到骨负载在钢板上产生的应力、钢板的长度、厚度和螺钉孔数量等因素的影响。最大限度地减少这些应力对于降低种植失败的风险、确保最佳应力分布以及促进更快、更有效的骨愈合至关重要。本研究采用有限元和统计方法对 SS 316L 钢和 Ti6Al4V 合金制成的种植板的几何参数进行了优化。为分析应力和变形建立了一个三维有限元模型,并在万能试验机上进行了实验,对实验结果进行了验证。实验结果与预测结果之间具有很强的相关性,SS316L 和 Ti6Al4V 合金的平均误差分别为 8.6 % 和 8.55 %。此外,还利用最小应力条件下的信噪比来确定板材的最佳参数。最后,建立了回归模型来预测不同输入条件下 SS316L 和 Ti6Al4V 合金板材产生的应力。统计模型有助于我们建立胫骨植入板不同几何参数之间的关系。根据目前的研究结果,影响最大的参数是植入板的长度。这一结果将用于为特定患者选择种植体,从而减少手术后种植失败的情况。

A scaffold is a three-dimensional porous structure that is used as a template to provide structural support for cell adhesion and the formation of new cells. Metallic cellular scaffolds are a good choice as a replacement for human bones in orthopaedic implants, which enhances the quality and longevity of human life. In contrast to conventional methods that produce irregular pore distributions, 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is characterized by high precision and controlled manufacturing processes. AM processes can precisely control the scaffold's porosity, which makes it possible to produce patient specific implants and achieve regular pore distribution. This review paper explores the potential of Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds produced via the SLM method as a bone substitute. A state-of-the-art review on the effect of design parameters, material, and surface modification on biological and mechanical properties is presented. The desired features of the human tibia and femur bones are compared to bulk and porous Ti6Al4V scaffold. Furthermore, the properties of various porous scaffolds with varying unit cell structures and design parameters are compared to find out the designs that can mimic human bone properties. Porosity up to 65% and pore size of 600 μm was found to give optimum trade-off between mechanical and biological properties. Current manufacturing constraints, biocompatibility of Ti-6Al-4V material, influence of various factors on bio-mechanical properties, and complex interrelation between design parameters are discussed herein. Finally, the most appropriate combination of design parameters that offers a good trade-off between mechanical strength and cell ingrowth are summarized.

支架是一种三维多孔结构,用作模板,为细胞粘附和新细胞的形成提供结构支持。金属细胞支架是骨科植入物中替代人体骨骼的良好选择,可提高人类的生活质量和寿命。与产生不规则孔隙分布的传统方法相比,3D 打印或增材制造的特点是高精度和可控的制造过程。增材制造工艺可以精确控制支架的孔隙率,从而可以生产出针对特定患者的植入物,并实现规则的孔隙分布。本综述论文探讨了通过 SLM 方法生产的 Ti-6Al-4V 支架作为骨替代物的潜力。本文介绍了设计参数、材料和表面改性对生物和机械性能影响的最新进展。将人体胫骨和股骨的理想特征与块状和多孔 Ti6Al4V 支架进行了比较。此外,还比较了具有不同单胞结构和设计参数的各种多孔支架的特性,以找出能模拟人类骨骼特性的设计。研究发现,高达 65% 的孔隙率和 600 µm 的孔径可在机械和生物特性之间实现最佳平衡。本文讨论了当前的制造限制、Ti-6Al-4V 材料的生物相容性、各种因素对生物机械性能的影响以及设计参数之间复杂的相互关系。最后,总结了在机械强度和细胞生长之间取得良好平衡的最合适的设计参数组合。

Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a progressive neurologic disorder (fluid build-up in the brain) that affects 0.2%-5% of the UK population aged over 65. Mobility problems, dementia and urinary incontinence are symptoms of iNPH but often these are not properly evaluated, and patients receive the wrong diagnosis. Here, we describe the development and testing of firmware embedded in a wearable device in conjunction with a user-based software system that records and analyses a patient's gait. The movement patterns, expressed as quantitative data, allow clinicians to improve the non-invasive assessment of iNPH as well as monitor the management of patients undergoing treatment. The wearable sensor system comprises a miniature electronic unit that attaches to one ankle of the patient via a simple Velcro strap which was designed for this application. The unit monitors acceleration along three axes with a sample rate of 60 Hz and transmits the data via a Bluetooth communication link to a tablet or smart phone running the Android and the iOS operating systems. The software package extracts statistics based on stride length, stride height, distance walked and speed. Analysis confirmed that the system achieved an average accuracy of at least 98% for gait tests conducted over distances 9 m. This device has been developed to assist in the management and treatment of older adults diagnosed with iNPH.

特发性正常压力脑积水(iNPH)是一种进行性神经系统疾病(脑积水),英国 65 岁以上人口中约有 0.2%-5% 患有此病。行动不便、痴呆和尿失禁是 iNPH 的症状,但这些症状往往没有得到适当的评估,因此患者会得到错误的诊断。在此,我们介绍了一种可穿戴设备的开发和测试情况,该设备可记录和分析患者的步态。以定量数据表示的运动模式可帮助临床医生改进对 iNPH 的无创诊断,并监测正在接受治疗的患者的管理情况。可穿戴传感器系统由一个微型电子装置组成,通过一条简单的尼龙搭扣带固定在患者的一只脚踝上。该装置以 60 Hz 的采样率监测三个轴的加速度,并通过蓝牙通信链路将数据传输到运行 Android 和 iOS 操作系统的平板电脑或智能手机上。软件包根据步长、步高、行走距离和速度提取统计数据。分析证实,该系统对距离 9 米的步态测试的平均准确率至少达到 98%。使用该设备将改善 iNPH 的诊断过程和管理,以及该疾病的治疗和管理。

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into lung cancer management offers immense potential to revolutionize diagnostic and treatment strategies. The aim is to develop a resilient AI framework capable of two critical tasks: firstly, achieving accurate and automated segmentation of lung tumors and secondly, facilitating the T classification of lung cancer according to the ninth edition of TNM staging 2024 based on PET/CT imaging. This study presents a robust AI framework for the automated segmentation of lung tumors and T classification of lung cancer using PET/CT imaging. The database includes axial DICOM CT and18FDG-PET/CT images. A modified ResNet-50 model was employed for segmentation, achieving high precision and specificity. Reconstructed 3D models of segmented slices enhance tumor boundary visualization, which is essential for treatment planning. The Pulmonary Toolkit facilitated lobe segmentation, providing critical diagnostic insights. Additionally, the segmented images were used as input for the T classification using a CNN ResNet-50 model. Our classification model demonstrated excellent performance, particularly for T1a, T2a, T2b, T3 and T4 tumors, with high precision, F1 scores, and specificity. The T stage is particularly relevant in lung cancer as it determines treatment approaches (surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy or supportive care) and prognosis assessment. In fact, for Tis-T2, each increase of one centimeter in tumor size results in a worse prognosis. For locally advanced tumors (T3-T4) and regardless of size, the prognosis is poorer. This AI framework marks a significant advancement in the automation of lung cancer diagnosis and staging, promising improved patient outcomes.

将人工智能(AI)融入肺癌管理,可为诊断和治疗策略带来巨大的变革潜力。我们的目标是开发一个有弹性的人工智能框架,能够完成两项关键任务:首先,实现肺部肿瘤的准确和自动分割;其次,根据 2024 年 TNM 分期第九版,基于 PET/CT 成像促进肺癌的 T 级分类。本研究提出了一种稳健的人工智能框架,用于利用 PET/CT 成像自动分割肺部肿瘤和进行肺癌 T 级分类。数据库包括轴向 DICOM CT 和 18FDG-PET/CT 图像。采用改进的 ResNet-50 模型进行分割,实现了高精度和高特异性。对分割切片重建的三维模型增强了肿瘤边界的可视化,这对制定治疗计划至关重要。肺部工具包促进了肺叶的分割,提供了重要的诊断见解。此外,分割后的图像被用作使用 CNN ResNet-50 模型进行 T 分类的输入。我们的分类模型表现出卓越的性能,尤其是在 T1a、T2a、T2b、T3 和 T4 肿瘤方面,具有很高的精确度、F1 分数和特异性。T 分期与肺癌尤其相关,因为它决定了治疗方法(手术、化疗和放疗或支持治疗)和预后评估。事实上,对于 Tis-T2 期,肿瘤大小每增加一厘米,预后就会变差。对于局部晚期肿瘤(T3-T4),无论肿瘤大小如何,预后都较差。这一人工智能框架标志着肺癌诊断和分期自动化的重大进步,有望改善患者的预后。

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been extensively utilized in medical treatment, particularly in cancer therapy. However, the underlying mechanism of CAP in skin cancer treatment remains elusive. In this study, we established a skin cancer model using CAP treatmentin vitro. Also, we established the Xenograft experiment modelin vivo. The results demonstrated that treatment with CAP induced ferroptosis, resulting in a significant reduction in the viability, migration, and invasive capacities of A431 squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. Mechanistically, the significant production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by CAP induces DNA damage, which then activates Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and p53 through acetylation, while simultaneously suppressing the expression of Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11 (SLC7A11). Consequently, this cascade led to the down-regulation of intracellular Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), ultimately resulting in ferroptosis. CAP exhibits a favorable impact on skin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential medical application in skin cancer therapy.

冷大气等离子体(CAP)已被广泛应用于医疗领域,尤其是癌症治疗。然而,冷大气等离子体治疗皮肤癌的基本机制仍不明确。在本研究中,我们在体外建立了使用 CAP 治疗的皮肤癌模型。此外,我们还在体内建立了异种移植实验模型。结果表明,CAP 能诱导铁变态反应,从而显著降低 A431 鳞状细胞癌(一种皮肤癌)的存活率、迁移和侵袭能力。从机理上讲,CAP产生的大量活性氧(ROS)会诱导DNA损伤,然后通过乙酰化激活共济失调-特朗吉赛病突变(ATM)和p53,同时抑制溶质运载家族7成员11(SLC7A11)的表达。因此,这种级联反应导致细胞内谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶 4(GPX4)的下调,最终导致铁变态反应。CAP 对皮肤癌的治疗产生了有利影响,这表明它在皮肤癌治疗中具有潜在的医学应用价值。

Currently, Diabetes Mellitus (DM) can be life-threatening due to the dietary habits and lifestyle choices of individuals. Diabetes is characterised by elevated levels of glucose in the blood and an excess of protein in the blood. Poor eating habits and lifestyles are largely responsible for the rise in overweight, obesity, and various related conditions. This study investigated many diabetes-related risk forecasting techniques and algorithms. The eight machine learning (ML) algorithms used the diabetes dataset to test various prediction techniques, including a Support Vector Classifier, gradient-boosting, multilayer perceptron, random forest, K-nearest neighbors, logistic regression, extreme gradient boosting, and decision tree. To enhance the diabetic prediction ability of the model, we suggested using Feature Engineering (FE) and feature scaling. For our investigation, we utilized the Mendeley dataset on diabetes to assess the capacity of the model to predict diabetes. We developed a model by using Python programming and eight classification techniques. The Random Forest with 99.21%, Gradient Boosting with 99.61%, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and Decision Tree achieved the highest F1 score (99.81%), accuracy rate (99.80%), precision (99.81%), and recall (99.81%) of all classification approaches.

目前,由于个人饮食习惯和生活方式的选择,糖尿病(DM)可能危及生命。糖尿病的特征是血液中葡萄糖水平升高和血液中蛋白质过量。不良的饮食习惯和生活方式是导致超重、肥胖和各种相关疾病增加的主要原因。本研究调查了许多与糖尿病相关的风险预测技术和算法。八种机器学习(ML)算法使用糖尿病数据集来测试各种预测技术,包括支持向量分类器、梯度提升、多层感知器、随机森林、K-近邻、逻辑回归、极端梯度提升和决策树。为了提高模型的糖尿病预测能力,我们建议使用特征工程(FE)和特征缩放。在调查中,我们利用 Mendeley 糖尿病数据集来评估模型预测糖尿病的能力。我们使用 Python 编程和八种分类技术开发了一个模型。在所有分类方法中,随机森林(99.21%)、梯度提升(99.61%)、极端梯度提升和决策树分别获得了最高的 F1 分数(99.81%)、准确率(99.80%)、精确率(99.81%)和召回率(99.81%)。

Facial paralysis (FP) is a condition characterized by the inability to move some or all of the muscles on one or both sides of the face. Diagnosing FP presents challenges due to the limitations of traditional methods, which are time-consuming, uncomfortable for patients, and require specialized clinicians. Additionally, more advanced tools are often uncommonly available to all healthcare providers. Early and accurate detection of FP is crucial, as timely intervention can prevent long-term complications and improve patient outcomes. To address these challenges, our research introduces Facia-Fix, a mobile application for Bell's palsy diagnosis, integrating computer vision and deep learning techniques to provide real-time analysis of facial landmarks. The classification algorithms are trained on the publicly available YouTube FP (YFP) dataset, which is labeled using the House-Brackmann (HB) method, a standardized system for assessing the severity of FP. Different deep learning models were employed to classify the FP severity, such as MobileNet, CNN, MLP, VGG16, and Vision Transformer. The MobileNet model which uses transfer learning, achieved the highest performance (Accuracy: 0.9812, Precision: 0.9753, Recall: 0.9727, F1 Score: 0.974), establishing it as the optimal choice among the evaluated models. The innovation of this approach lies in its use of advanced deep learning models to provide accurate, objective, non-invasive and real-time comprehensive quantitative assessment of FP severity. Preliminary results highlight the potential of Facia-Fix to significantly improve the diagnostic and follow-up experiences for both clinicians and patients.

面瘫(FP)是一种以面部一侧或两侧的部分或全部肌肉无法运动为特征的疾病。由于传统方法耗时长、患者感觉不舒服,而且需要专业的临床医生,因此对 FP 进行诊断是一项挑战。此外,所有医疗服务提供者通常都无法获得更先进的工具。早期准确检测 FP 至关重要,因为及时干预可以预防长期并发症,改善患者预后。为了应对这些挑战,我们的研究推出了用于贝尔氏麻痹诊断的移动应用程序 Facia-Fix,该应用程序集成了计算机视觉和深度学习技术,可对面部地标进行实时分析。分类算法是在公开的 YouTube FP(YFP)数据集上进行训练的,该数据集使用 House-Brackmann (HB)方法进行标记,是评估 FP 严重程度的标准化系统。我们采用了不同的深度学习模型来对 FP 的严重程度进行分类,如 MobileNet、CNN、MLP、VGG16 和 Vision Transformer。采用迁移学习的 MobileNet 模型取得了最高的性能(准确率:0.9812;精确度:0.9753;召回率:0.9727;F1 分数:0.974),成为所有评估模型中的最佳选择。这种方法的创新之处在于利用先进的深度学习模型对 FP 的严重程度进行准确、客观、无创和实时的综合量化评估。初步结果凸显了 Facia-Fix 在显著改善临床医生和患者的诊断和随访体验方面的潜力。

Multi-drug resistance (MDR) infections are a significant global challenge, necessitating innovative and eco-friendly approaches for developing effective antimicrobial agents. This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2NPs) for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. The CeO2NPs were synthesized using aTribulus terrestrisaqueous extract through an environmentally friendly process. Characterization techniques included UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), x-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis. The UV-vis spectroscopy shows the presence of peak at 320 nm which confirms the formation of CeO2NPs. The FT-IR analysis of the CeO2NPs revealed several distinct functional groups, with peak values at 3287, 2920, 2340, 1640, 1538, 1066, 714, and 574 cm-1. These peaks correspond to specific functional groups, including C-H stretching in alkynes and alkanes, C=C=O, C=C, alkanes, C-O-C, C-Cl, and C-Br, indicating the presence of diverse chemical bonds within the CeO2NPs. XRD revealed that the nanoparticles were highly crystalline with a face-centered cubic structure, and SEM images showed irregularly shaped, agglomerated particles ranging from 100-150 nm. In terms of biological activity, the synthesized CeO2NPs demonstrated significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The nanoparticles exhibited 82.54% antioxidant activity at 100 μg ml-1, closely matching the 83.1% activity of ascorbic acid. Additionally, the CeO2NPs showed 65.2% anti-inflammatory activity at the same concentration, compared to 70.1% for a standard drug. Antibacterial testing revealed that the CeO2NPs were particularly effective against multi-drug resistant strains, includingPseudomonas aeruginosa,Enterococcus faecalis, and MRSA, with moderate activity againstKlebsiella pneumoniae. These findings suggest that CeO2NPs synthesized viaT. terrestrishave strong potential as antimicrobial agents in addressing MDR infections.

多重耐药性(MDR)感染是一项重大的全球性挑战,需要采用创新和环保的方法来开发有效的抗菌剂。本研究的重点是氧化铈纳米粒子(CeO2 NPs)的合成、表征和评估,以了解其抗氧化、抗炎和抗菌特性。CeO2 NPs 是利用刺蒺藜水提取物通过环保工艺合成的。表征技术包括紫外可见光谱、傅立叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、X 射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和能量色散 X 射线(EDX)分析。CeO2NP 的傅立叶变换红外光谱分析显示了几个不同的官能团,峰值分别为 3287、2920、2340、1640、1538、1066、714 和 574 cm-¹。这些峰值对应于特定的官能团,包括炔烃和烷烃中的 C-H 伸展、C=C=O、C=C、烷烃、C-O-C、C-Cl 和 C-Br,表明 CeO2 中存在多种化学键。XRD 显示,纳米颗粒具有高度结晶性,为面心立方结构;SEM 图像显示,颗粒形状不规则,呈团聚状,直径在 100-150 nm 之间。在生物活性方面,合成的 CeO2 NPs 具有显著的抗氧化和抗炎特性。在 100 μg/mL 的浓度下,纳米粒子表现出 82.54% 的抗氧化活性,与抗坏血酸 83.1% 的活性非常接近。此外,在相同浓度下,CeO2 NPs 的抗炎活性为 65.2%,而标准药物的抗炎活性为 70.1%。抗菌测试表明,CeO2 NPs 对包括铜绿假单胞菌、粪肠球菌和 MRSA 在内的多重耐药菌株特别有效,对肺炎克雷伯菌也有一定的活性。这些研究结果表明,通过 T. terrestris 合成的 CeO2 NPs 具有很强的抗菌潜力,可用于解决 MDR 感染问题。

Automation is revamping our preprocessing pipelines, and accelerating the delivery of personalized digital medicine. It improves efficiency, reduces costs, and allows clinicians to treat patients without significant delays. However, the influx of multimodal data highlights the need to protect sensitive information, such as clinical data, and safeguard data fidelity. One of the neuroimaging modalities that produces large amounts of time-series data is Electroencephalography (EEG). It captures the neural dynamics in a task or resting brain state with high temporal resolution. EEG electrodes placed on the scalp acquire electrical activity from the brain. These electrical potentials attenuate as they cross multiple layers of brain tissue and fluid yielding relatively weaker signals than noise-low signal-to-noise ratio. EEG signals are further distorted by internal physiological artifacts, such as eye movements (EOG) or heartbeat (ECG), and external noise, such as line noise (50 Hz). EOG artifacts, due to their proximity to the frontal brain regions, are particularly challenging to eliminate. Therefore, a widely used EOG rejection method, independent component analysis (ICA), demands manual inspection of the marked EOG components before they are rejected from the EEG data. We underscore the inaccuracy of automatized ICA rejection and provide an auxiliary algorithm-Second Layer Inspection for EOG (SLOG) in the clinical environment. SLOG based on spatial and temporal patterns of eye movements, re-examines the already marked EOG artifacts and confirms no EEG-related activity is mistakenly eliminated in this artifact rejection step. SLOG achieved a 99% precision rate on the simulated dataset while 85% precision on the real EEG dataset. One of the primary considerations for cloud-based applications is operational costs, including computing power. Algorithms like SLOG allow us to maintain data fidelity and precision without overloading the cloud platforms and maxing out our budgets.

自动化正在改造我们的预处理流水线,加速个性化数字医疗的交付。它提高了效率,降低了成本,使临床医生能够在不严重延误的情况下治疗病人。然而,多模态数据的涌入凸显了保护临床数据等敏感信息和保障数据真实性的必要性。脑电图(EEG)是产生大量时间序列数据的神经成像模式之一。它能以高时间分辨率捕捉任务或静息大脑状态下的神经动态。放置在头皮上的脑电图电极可获取大脑的电活动。这些电位在穿过多层脑组织和脑液时会衰减,产生比噪声相对较弱的信号--信噪比低。内部生理伪像(如眼球运动(EOG)或心跳(ECG))和外部噪声(如 50 Hz 线路噪声)会进一步扭曲脑电信号。眼动图伪影由于靠近大脑额叶区域,消除起来尤其具有挑战性。因此,一种广泛使用的眼动图剔除方法--独立成分分析(ICA)--需要在从脑电图数据中剔除标记的眼动图成分之前对其进行人工检查。我们强调了自动 ICA 剔除的不准确性,并在临床环境中提供了一种辅助算法--EOG 第二层检测(SLOG)。SLOG 以眼球运动的空间和时间模式为基础,重新检查已标记的眼动图伪像,并确认在这一伪像剔除步骤中没有错误地剔除与脑电图相关的活动。SLOG 在模拟数据集上实现了 99% 的精确率,而在真实 EEG 数据集上实现了 85% 的精确率。基于云的应用的主要考虑因素之一是运营成本,包括计算能力。像 SLOG 这样的算法可以让我们保持数据的保真度和精确度,而不会让云平台超载,也不会让我们的预算达到极限。

Background: The risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer (PCa) varies widely within standard risk groups. There is a need for low-cost tools to more robustly predict recurrence and personalize therapy. Radiomic features from pretreatment MRI show potential as noninvasive biomarkers for BCR prediction. However, previous research has not fully combined radiomics with clinical and pathological data to predict BCR in PCa patients following radiotherapy. Purpose: This study aims to predict 5-year BCR using radiomics from pretreatment T2W MRI and clinical-pathological data in PCa patients treated with radiation therapy, and to develop a unified model compatible with both 1.5T and 3T MRI scanners. Methods: A total of 150 T2W scans and clinical parameters were preprocessed. Of these, 120 cases were used for training and validation, and 30 for testing. Four distinct machine learning models were developed: Model 1 used radiomics, Model 2 used clinical and pathological data, and Model 3 combined these using late fusion. Model 4 integrated radiomic and clinical-pathological data using early fusion. Results: Model 1 achieved an AUC of 0.73, while Model 2 had an AUC of 0.64 for predicting outcomes in 30 new test cases. Model 3, using late fusion, had an AUC of 0.69. Early fusion models showed strong potential, with Model 4 reaching an AUC of 0.84, highlighting the effectiveness of the early fusion model. Conclusions: This study is the first to use a fusion technique for predicting BCR in PCa patients following radiotherapy, utilizing pre-treatment T2W MRI images and clinical-pathological data. The methodology improves predictive accuracy by fusing radiomics with clinical-pathological information, even with a relatively small dataset, and introduces the first unified model for both 1.5T and 3T MRI images.

背景:局部前列腺癌(PCa)放疗后的生化复发(BCR)风险在标准风险组中差异很大。我们需要低成本的工具来更准确地预测复发并进行个性化治疗。治疗前核磁共振成像的放射组学特征显示出作为无创生物标记物预测 BCR 的潜力。 目的:本研究旨在利用放疗前 T2W 磁共振成像的放射组学特征和临床病理数据预测接受放疗的 PCa 患者的 5 年 BCR,并建立一个与 1.5T 和 3T 磁共振成像扫描仪兼容的统一模型:预处理共 150 个 T2W 扫描和临床参数。其中 120 例用于训练和验证,30 例用于测试。开发了四种不同的机器学习模型:模型 1 使用放射组学,模型 2 使用临床和病理数据,模型 3 使用后期融合将这些数据结合起来。模型 4 利用早期融合将放射组学和临床病理学数据整合在一起:模型 1 的 AUC 为 0.73,而模型 2 预测 30 个新测试病例结果的 AUC 为 0.64。使用晚期融合的模型 3 的 AUC 为 0.69。早期融合模型显示出强大的潜力,模型 4 的 AUC 达到 0.84,凸显了早期融合模型的有效性:本研究首次利用治疗前 T2W MRI 图像和临床病理数据,采用融合技术预测放疗后 PCa 患者的 BCR。该方法通过融合放射组学和临床病理学信息,提高了预测准确性,即使数据集相对较小,并首次引入了适用于 1.5T 和 3T MRI 图像的统一模型。
