Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the seventh most common cancer in the world and accounts for over 800,000 deaths annually, making it the second most lethal cancer. Poor chemotherapeutic agents against HCC have necessitated the importance of early detection and surgical intervention in patient management. However, the search for biomarkers of HCC have proved difficult, as serum and tissue proteomics, transcriptomics and genomics have proved inconclusive. We have utilized a novel spatial-omics based glycan imaging method to identify glycan changes that occur directly in HCC tissue. Glycan changes included branched, fucosylated and high mannose glycan. Importantly, using matching serum samples, we were able to identify the glycans that are altered in tissue and also in the serum of individuals with HCC. Glycoproteomics was used to identify the proteins containing these glycan structures. To translate these findings, we utilized a novel multi-plexed antibody panel based glycan imaging method, which allowed us to examine all the glycans associated with the identified glycoproteins. These glycan changes, found in serum, and directly associated with the tumor, were used to create a diagnostic algorithm to detect HCC. These spatial omics based, machine learning (SOML) algorithms were tested in a discovery set (n=201) and an external validation set (n=192). AUROC values ranged from 0.95 in the discovery set and 0.91 in the independent external validation set. In conclusion, we present the development and application of a new biomarker platform that can be used to examine the glycans associated with disease.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a serious neurodegenerative disorder that causes incurable and irreversible neuronal loss and synaptic dysfunction. The progress of this disease is gradual and depending on the stage of its detection, only its progression can be treated, reducing the most aggressive symptoms and the speed of its neurodegenerative progress. This article proposes an early detection model for the diagnosis of AD by performing analyses in Alzheimer's progression patient datasets, provided by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), including only neuropsychological assessments and making use of feature selection techniques and machine learning models. The focus of this research is to build an ensemble machine learning model capable of early detection of a patient with Alzheimer's or a cognitive state that leads to it, based on their results in neuropsychological assessments identified as highly relevant for the detection of Alzheimer's. The proposed approach for the detection of AD is presented with the inclusion of the feature selection technique recursive feature elimination (RFE) and the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the ensemble model consists of logistic regression (LR), artificial neural networks (ANN), support vector machines (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN) and nearest centroid (Nearcent). The datasets downloaded from ADNI were divided into 13 subsets including: cognitively normal (CN) vs subjective memory concern (SMC), CN vs early mild cognitive impairment (EMCI), CN vs late mild cognitive impairment (LMCI), CN vs AD, SMC vs EMCI, SMC vs LMCI, SMC vs AD, EMCI vs LMCI, EMCI vs AD, LMCI vs AD, MCI vs AD, CN vs AD and CN vs MCI. From all the feature results, a custom model was created using RFE, AIC and testing each model. This work presents a customized model for a backend platform to perform one-versus-all analysis and provide a basis for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's at its current stage.

Project description:BackgroundWorldwide, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second most lethal cancer, although early-stage HCC is amenable to curative treatment and can facilitate long-term survival. Early detection has proved difficult, as proteomics, transcriptomics, and genomics have been unable to discover suitable biomarkers.MethodsTo find new biomarkers of HCC, we utilized a spatial omics N-glycan imaging method to identify altered glycosylation in cancer tissue (n = 53) and in paired serum of individuals with HCC (n = 23). Glycoproteomics identified the glycoproteins carrying these N-glycan structures, and we utilized an antibody array-based glycan imaging method to examine all the N-glycans associated with the identified glycoproteins. N-glycans from the examined glycoproteins were used to create machine learning algorithms, which were tested in a case-control sample set of 100 patients with cirrhosis and HCC and 101 matched patients with cirrhosis alone.ResultsSpatial glycan imaging identifies thirteen branched, fucosylated, and high mannose glycans as altered in HCC tissue and in matched patient serum. Glycoproteomics identifies over 50 proteins containing these changes, of which sixteen glycoproteins were selected for further testing in an independent patient set. Algorithms using a combination of glycan and glycoproteins accurately differentiate early-stage and all HCC from cirrhosis with AUROC values of 0.88-0.97.ConclusionsIn conclusion, we present the development and application of a new biomarker platform, which can identify effective biomarkers for the early detection of HCC. This platform may also apply to other diseases, in which changes in N-linked glycosylation are known to occur.

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a multifaceted disease with various contributing factors, presents challenges in understanding its underlying causes. Uncovering biomarkers linked to this condition can shed light on its pathogenesis and support the creation of new diagnostic and treatment methods. Gene expression data were sourced from accessible public databases, and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA)was employed to pinpoint gene co-expression modules relevant to DN. Subsequently, various machine learning techniques, such as random forest, lasso regression algorithm (LASSO), and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-REF), were utilized for distinguishing DN cases from controls using the identified gene modules. Additionally, functional enrichment analyses were conducted to explore the biological roles of these genes. Our analysis revealed 131 genes showing distinct expression patterns between controlled and uncontrolled groups. During the integrated WCGNA, we identified 61 co-expressed genes encompassing both categories. The enrichment analysis highlighted involvement in various immune responses and complex activities. Techniques like Random Forest, LASSO, and SVM-REF were applied to pinpoint key hub genes, leading to the identification of VWF and DNASE1L3. In the context of DN, they demonstrated significant consistency in both expression and function. Our research uncovered potential biomarkers for DN through the application of WGCNA and various machine learning methods. The results indicate that 2 central genes could serve as innovative diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets for this disease. This discovery offers fresh perspectives on the development of DN and could contribute to the advancement of new diagnostic and treatment approaches.

Project description:The advent of Internet technologies has resulted in the proliferation of electronic trading and the use of the Internet for electronic transactions, leading to a rise in unauthorized access to sensitive user information and the depletion of resources for enterprises. As a consequence, there has been a marked increase in phishing, which is now considered one of the most common types of online theft. Phishing attacks are typically directed towards obtaining confidential information, such as login credentials for online banking platforms and sensitive systems. The primary objective of such attacks is to acquire specific personal information to either use for financial gain or commit identity theft. Recent studies have been conducted to combat phishing attacks by examining domain characteristics such as website addresses, content on websites, and combinations of both approaches for the website and its source code. However, businesses require more effective anti-phishing technologies to identify phishing URLs and safeguard their users. The present research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of eight machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms, including support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), random forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), logistic regression (LR), convolutional neural network (CNN), and DL model and assess their performances in identifying phishing. This study utilizes two real datasets, Mendeley and UCI, employing performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, false positive rate (FPR), and F-1 score. Notably, CNN exhibits superior accuracy, emphasizing its efficacy. Contributions include using purpose-specific datasets, meticulous feature engineering, introducing SMOTE for class imbalance, incorporating the novel CNN model, and rigorous hyperparameter tuning. The study demonstrates consistent model performance across both datasets, highlighting stability and reliability.

Project description:Background: Ischemic stroke is a significant global health issue, imposing substantial social and economic burdens. Carotid artery plaques (CAP) serve as an important risk factor for stroke, and early screening can effectively reduce stroke incidence. However, China lacks nationwide data on carotid artery plaques. Machine learning (ML) can offer an economically efficient screening method. This study aimed to develop ML models using routine health examinations and blood markers to predict the occurrence of carotid artery plaques. Methods: This study included data from 5,211 participants aged 18-70, encompassing health check-ups and biochemical indicators. Among them, 1,164 participants were diagnosed with carotid artery plaques through carotid ultrasound. We constructed six ML models by employing feature selection with elastic net regression, selecting 13 indicators. Model performance was evaluated using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), Negative Predictive Value (NPV), F1 score, kappa value, and Area Under the Curve (AUC) value. Feature importance was assessed by calculating the root mean square error (RMSE) loss after permutations for each variable in every model. Results: Among all six ML models, LightGBM achieved the highest accuracy at 91.8%. Feature importance analysis revealed that age, Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-c), and systolic blood pressure were important predictive factors in the models. Conclusion: LightGBM can effectively predict the occurrence of carotid artery plaques using demographic information, physical examination data and biochemistry data.
