まとめ
新しい機械学習モデルは、isthmus 近接を有する甲状腺癌(PTC)患者における対側中央リンパ節転移を正確に予測します。このツールは、リンパ節郭清のための個別化された外科的決定を支援します。
科学分野:
- 腫瘍学
- 外科腫瘍学
- 医療情報学
背景:
- 甲状腺isthmusから発生する乳頭癌(PTC)は、対側中央リンパ節(Cont-CLNs)への転移リスクが高い。
- PTC患者における個別化された治療戦略には、正確なリスク評価が不可欠である。
研究 の 目的:
- isthmus近接を有するPTCにおけるCont-CLNs転移の個別化予測モデルを開発し、検証する。
- 機械学習アルゴリズムを用いて予測精度を向上させる。
主な方法:
- isthmus近接を有する397例を含む、1,672例のPTC患者の後ろ向き解析を実施した。
- BorutaアルゴリズムおよびLASSO回帰を用いた特徴量選択。
- ランダムフォレストを含む7つの機械学習モデルを開発・評価し、SHAPを用いて解釈可能性を評価した。
主要な成果:
- Cont-CLNs転移の発生率は、isthmus近接を有するPTCでは33%、isthmus非近接PTCでは12%と比較して有意に高かった。
- 術前のCTおよび超音波検査所見、甲状腺外進展、同側CLNs転移、腫瘍径が重要な予測因子として同定された。
- ランダムフォレストモデルは高い性能を達成した(訓練AUC 0.942、検証AUC 0.861)。術前CT検査が最も影響力の大きい予測因子であった。
結論:
- 機械学習ベースのモデルは、isthmus近接を有するPTCにおけるCont-CLNs転移リスクを効果的に予測する。
- このモデルは、リンパ節郭清の範囲を最適化するための、個別化された外科的決定のための貴重なツールとして機能する。

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
4.6K
Lymph nodes are bean-shaped structures that cluster along the lymphatic vessels in the inguinal, axillary, and cervical regions. Each node is divided into compartments by a capsule that extends trabeculae inward.
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Simplified Synchronous Machine Model
760
The Synchronous Machine Model is a fundamental tool in analyzing and ensuring the transient stability of power systems. This model simplifies the representation of a synchronous machine under balanced three-phase positive-sequence conditions, assuming constant excitation and ignoring losses and saturation. The model is pivotal for understanding the behavior of synchronous generators connected to a power grid, particularly during transient events.
In this model, each generator is connected to a...

Wind Turbine Machine Models
576
In the growing field of wind energy, incorporating wind turbine models into transient stability analysis is essential. Induction and synchronous machines are the primary models used, with induction machines being prevalent due to their simplicity and reliability.
Induction machines interact through the rotating magnetic field generated by the stator and the rotor. The key parameter is slip, which is the difference between synchronous speed and rotor speed relative to synchronous speed. Slip is...
