Objective To construct a radiomics model for predicting hematoma enlargement in early hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and explore its predictive value.Methods A retrospective collection of 212 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage within 6 h of onset,admitted to our hospital from February 2010 to August 2018,was performed.CT examination was performed within half an hour of admission.CT re-examination was performed 24 h after admission to determine whether there was hematoma enlargement.The regions of interest were delineated on the first CT,and 431 image indicators were extracted from the Matlab software.The LASSO regression model was used to screen out the most predictive imaging features,and the selected features and support vector machine classifier (SVM) were used to build the prediction model.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predicted effect of the model.Results After 24 h of admission,the incidence of hematoma enlargement was 18.9％ (40/212).Eighteen imaging ensemble features (including 4 first-order statistics features:standard deviation,kurtosis,uniformity,and variance;one shape-and size-based feature:surface to volume ratio;7 textual features:long run low grey level emphasis,inertia,correlation-angle 90,short run emphasis,correlation-all direction,long run emphasis,and inverse difference moment;6 wavelet features:autocorrelation-3,informational measure of correlation2-3,long run high gray level emphasis-4,short run high gray level emphasis-4,short run low gray level emphasis-7,and sum variance-3) were combined with SVM to establish a prediction model by LASSO regression model.The area under ROC curve was 0.928,enjoying sensitivity and specificity of 92.5％ and 83.5％,respectively.Conclusion The constructed radiomics model is helpful in predicting the expansion of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is a malignant tumor disease with high morbidity and high mortality. The non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type, among them, lung squamous cell carcinoma own special pathological type and specific treatment, is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer and can be divided into peripheral type and central type according to clinical phenotype. This study explores the differences in gene levels and their potential values based on clinical differences between central and peripheral in lung squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS: The lung squamous cell carcinoma dataset was collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, clinical information and the corresponding gene expression profiles were downloaded. Then we further sort and analyze all these data. RESULTS In clinical characteristics analysis, result showed that central lung squamous cell carcinoma was more likely to metastasis with lymph node than peripheral lung squamous cell carcinoma (46.2%, 67/145 vs 28.9%, 26/90; P=0.019), while there were no significant differences in gender, age, tumor size, distant metastasis, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, and EGFR mutation. Gene expression analysis showed 1,031 differentially expressed genes between central and peripheral lung squamous cell carcinoma, of which 629 genes were up-regulated and 402 genes were down-regulated (peripheral vs central). Further enrichment analysis showed differentially expressed genes were mainly riched in 6 signaling pathways. Among them, the neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway was the main enrichment pathway of differentially expressed genes, and other differential expressed genes were mainly involved in lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism. The analysis of interaction network showed that hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox A (HNF1A) and cytochrome p450 family, Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) own widely effect in up-regulated genes, while ALB and APOA1 at the key positions of the network in down-regulated genes were CONCLUSIONS: Central and peripheral lung squamous cell carcinoma showed clinical phenotype difference not only reflected in the incidence of lymph node metastasis, but also in gene expression profiles. Among them, HNF1A, CYP3A4, ALB, APOA1 at the key position of the differential gene interaction network and maybe as regulatory factors in the phenotypic difference.
