概括
使用血液白细胞DNA甲基化的新型人工智能模型可以准确诊断甲状腺结节 (TNs),减少不必要的活检和过度治疗. 这种血白细胞DNA甲基化 (BLDM) 模型提高了TN的诊断效率.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
- 生物信息学是一种生物信息学.
背景情况:
- 在中国,甲状腺结节 (TNs) 面临过度诊断和过度治疗的挑战.
- 超声波等现有方法可以改善TN诊断,但会导致不必要的活检.
- 恶性甲状腺结节 (MTNs) 通常会得到过早的手术建议.
研究的目的:
- 开发一种人工智能模型,使用血液白细胞DNA甲基化来诊断TNs.
- 优化TN患者的管理和治疗,以改善结果.
- 为了减少不必要的侵入性手术,如细针吸收 (FNA) 活检.
主要方法:
- 从293名TN患者的血液白细胞中分析了差异甲基化单双型块 (MHBs),使用减少表示双硫酸盐测序 (RRBS).
- 设计了一个人工智能血液白细胞DNA甲基化 (BLDM) 模型.
- 与超声波和组织学结果对比,验证了BLDM模型的诊断性能.
主要成果:
- BLDM模型实现了高诊断准确度 (AUC 0.858-0.863) 和特异性 (88.68%-90.91%) 的TN.
- BLDM的特异性和准确性超过了超声波,特别是微粒.
- 该模型正确识别了最初怀疑是恶性的良性结节,避免了不必要的活检.
结论:
- 这项研究首次展示了非侵入性血白细胞在诊断TNS方面的潜力.
- BLDM模型为中国的TN诊断和治疗提供了更有效的方法.
- 实施BLDM模型可以带来更个性化和更有效的患者管理.

Structure and Function of Leukocytes
2.1K
An adult in good health typically has between 4,500 and 11,000 leukocytes, or white blood cells, per microliter of blood, which constitutes about 1% of the total blood volume. Unlike red blood cells, white blood cells contain a nucleus and other cellular organelles but do not have hemoglobin. Most white blood cells reside in connective tissues, particularly in lymphatic organs such as the lymph nodes, with only a small fraction present in circulating blood.

Disorders of Leukocytes
946
Leukocyte disorders can lead to either leukopenia, characterized by an abnormally low leukocyte count, or leukocytosis, marked by a very high leukocyte number.
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
