5.Histological subtypes classification of non-small cell lung cancers using 18F-FDG PET-based radiomics
Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2021;41(5):268-274
Objective:To distinguish lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET-based radiomic features. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in 182 patients (109 males, 73 females, age (59.0±8.3) years) with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scan between January 2018 and December 2019 in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. All patients had been diagnosed pathologically with lung ADC or SCC. The patients were divided into a training set ( n=91) and a validation set ( n=91) using simple random sampling method. Radiomic features were extracted from the PET images of segmented tumors using the Python package. The minimum redundancy maximum relevance feature selection algorithm and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were employed to select informative and non-redundant features, and a radiomics signature score (rad-score) was developed. Differences of rad-score between groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to select the important factors. A combined model was constructed based on the clinical variable and radiomics signature. The predictive performance of models was analyzed and compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Delong test. Results:Four radiomic features, namely HHL_first order_maximum, LHL_first order_entropy, HHH_ gray level dependence matrix_large dependence high gray level emphasis (GLDM_LDHGLE), HHL_GLDM_LDHGLE (H/L represent the high/low pass filter) were selected to build the rad-score. The rad-score showed a significant ability to discriminate between different histological subtypes in the two sets(training set: -1.30(-1.70, -1.04) vs -0.60 (-1.11, 0.20), z=-4.61, P<0.001); validation set: -1.31(-1.66, -0.96) vs -0.73(-1.02, -0.24), z=-4.76, P<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of the rad-score were equal to 0.815 (95% CI: 0.723-0.906) in the training set, and 0.813 (95% CI: 0.726-0.901) in the validation set, respectively, which were larger than those of the clinical variables (smoking had the best prediction performance, training set: 0.721 (95% CI: 0.617-0.810), validation set: 0.726 (95% CI: 0.623-0.814)), however, the difference was not significant ( z values: 1.319, 1.324, both P>0.05). When the clinical variable (smoking) and radiomics signature were combined, the complex model showed a better performance in the classification of histological subtypes, with the AUC increased to 0.862 (95% CI: 0.785-0.940; sensitivity: 88.00%(22/25), specificity: 72.73%(48/66)) in the training set and 0.854 (95% CI: 0.776-0.933; sensitivity: 75.00%(21/28), specificity: 84.13%(53/63)) in the validation set. The AUC values were significantly higher than those of the clinical variable (smoking; training set: z=3.257, P<0.001; validation set: z=3.872, P<0.001). Conclusion:Individualized diagnosis model incorporating with smoking and radiomics signature can help differentiate lung cancer subtypes in a non-invasive, repeatable modality.

Objective To study the effect of external circulation of hypertonic preconditioning on the extravascular lung water in the early stage and cardiopulmonary function after coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods The clinical data of 82 patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting in our hospital between January 2011 and December 2014 were reviewed and according to the different solutions given, they were divided into two groups (each with 41 cases). The patients in the control group were given crystalloid solution, and in the study group were given hypertonic crystalloid. The index during operation and postoperative index, COP and EVLW during different periods and the cardiopulmonary function of the two groups was compared. Results The plasma colloid osmotic concentration in study group was (42.16 ± 12.26) mmol/L, and higher than that in the control group, which was (2.16 ± 0.25) mmol/L, P<0.01. whereas the other intraoperative and postoperative indicators including cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic crossclamp time, the number of vascular anastomosis, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen one day after the operation, and time of mechanical ventilation showed no significant differences (P > 0.05). COP and heart rate at T1 and T2 in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group, with COP at T1 and T2 in the study group was (19.88 ± 2.47) and (21.36 ± 3.25) mmol/L, and (22.16 ± 2.97) and (23.65 ± 2.14) mmol/L in control group;and heart rate at T1 and T2 in the study group was respectively (83.65 ± 12.54) and (86.95 ± 11.52) times per minute and (95.32 ± 11.88) and (97.58 ± 10.54) times per minute in control group; the differences between the two groups were significant (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences shown in the MAP and CVP at any time points (P>0.05). Conclusions External circulation of hypertonic preconditioning can effectively improve the extravascular lung water in the early stage after coronary artery bypass grafting, yet produces no effect on the cardiopulmonary function.
