Many researchers nowadays choose multi-omics techniques for myocardial infarction studies. However, there’s yet to be a review article integrating myocardial infarction multi-omics. Hence, this study adopts the popular bibliometrics. Based on its principles, we use software like R Studio, Vosviewer, Citespace, and SciMAT to analyze literature data of myocardial infarction omics research (1991–2022) from Web of Science. By extracting key information and calculating weights, we conduct analyses from 4 aspects: Collaboration Network Analysis, Co-word Analysis, Citing and Cited Journal Analysis, and Co-citation and Clustering Analysis, aiming to understand the field’s cooperation, research topic evolution, and knowledge flow. The results show that myocardial infarction omics research is still in its early stage with limited international cooperation. In terms of knowledge flow, there’s no significant difference within the discipline, but non-biomedical disciplines have joined, indicating an interdisciplinary integration trend. In the overall research field, genomics remains the main topic with many breakthroughs identifying susceptibility sites. Meanwhile, other omics fields like lipidomics and proteomics are also progressing, clarifying the pathogenesis. The cooperation details in this article enable researchers to connect with others, facilitating their research. The evolution trend of subject terms helps them set goals and directions, quickly grasp the development context, and read relevant literature. Journal analysis offers submission suggestions, and the analysis of research base and frontier provides references for the research’s future development.
Background Iron overload plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Non-invasive evaluation of renal iron overload in diabetes in the management and intervention of diabetic nephropathy is of great significance. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating renal iron overload in diabetes using a rabbit model. Methods The rabbits were randomly divided into control, iron-overload (I), diabetes (D), and diabetes with iron-overload (DI) groups (each n = 19). The diabetes models were generated by injecting intravenous alloxan solution, and the iron-overload models were generated by injecting intramuscular iron-dextran. BOLD MRI was performed immediately (week 0) and at week 4, 8, and 12 following modeling. The differences in renal cortex (CR 2 * ) and outer medulla R 2 * (MR 2 * ) and the ratio of MR 2 * –CR 2 * (MCR) across the different time points were compared. Results Iron was first deposited in glomeruli in the I group and in proximal tubular cells in renal cortex in the D group. In the DI group, there was iron deposition in both glomeruli and proximal tubular cells at week 4, and the accumulation increased subsequently. The degree of kidney injury and iron overload was more severe in the DI group than those in the I and D groups at week 12. At week 8 and 12, the CR 2 * and MR 2 * in the DI group were higher than those in the I and D groups (all P < 0.05). The MCR in the I, D, and DI groups decreased from week 0 to 4 (all P < 0.001), and that in the I group increased from week 8 to 12 ( P = 0.034). CR 2 * and MR 2 * values displayed different trends from week 0–12. Dynamic MCR curves in the D and DI groups were different from that in the I group. Conclusion It presents interactions between diabetes and iron overload in kidney injury, and BOLD MRI can be used to evaluate renal iron overload in diabetes.
Abstract Purpose To explore the predictive potential of intratumoral and multiregion peritumoral radiomics features extracted from multiparametric MRI for predicting pathological differentiation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods A total of 265 patients with 277 HCCs (training cohort n = 193, validation cohort n = 84) who underwent preoperative MRI were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors identified through stepwise regression analysis were utilized to construct a clinical model. Radiomics models based on MRI (arterial phase, portal venous phase, delayed phase) across various regions (entire tumor, Peri_5mm, Peri_10mm, Peri_20mm) were developed using the LASSO approach. The features obtained from the intratumoral region and the optimal peritumoral region were combined to design the IntraPeri fusion model. Model performance was assessed using the area under the curve (AUC). Results Larger size, non-smooth margins, and mosaic architecture were risk factors for poorly differentiated HCC (pHCC). The clinical model achieved AUCs of 0.77 and 0.73 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively, while the intratumoral model achieved corresponding AUC values of 0.92 and 0.82. The Peri_10mm model demonstrated superior performance to the Peri_5mm and Peri_20mm models, with AUC values of 0.87 vs. 0.84 vs. 0.73 in the training cohort and 0.80 vs. 0.77 vs. 0.68 in the validation cohort, respectively. The IntraPeri model exhibited remarkable AUC values of 0.95 and 0.86 in predicting pHCC in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Conclusions Our study highlights the potential of a multiparametric MRI-based radiomic model that integrates intratumoral and peritumoral features as a tool for predicting HCC differentiation. Critical relevance statement Both clinical and multiparametric MRI-based radiomic models, particularly the intratumoral radiomic model, are non-invasive tools for predicting HCC differentiation. Importantly, the IntraPeri fusion model exhibited remarkable predictiveness for individualized HCC differentiation. Key points • Both the intratumoral radiomics model and clinical features were useful for predicting HCC differentiation. • The Peri_10mm radiomics model demonstrated better diagnostic ability than other peritumoral region-based models. • The IntraPeri radiomics fusion model outperformed the other models for predicting HCC differentiation. Graphical Abstract
Background: Predicting breast cancer molecular subtypes can help guide individualised clinical treatment of patients who need the rational preoperative treatment. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of preoperative prediction of breast cancer molecular subtypes by contrast -enhanced mammography (CEM) radiomic features. Methods: This retrospective two -centre study included women with breast cancer who underwent CEM preoperatively between August 2016 and May 2022. We included 356 patients with 386 lesions, which were grouped into training ( n = 162), internal test ( n = 160) and external test sets ( n = 64). Radiomics features were extracted from low -energy (LE) images and recombined (RC) images and selected. Three dichotomous tasks were established according to postoperative immunohistochemical results: Luminal vs. non-Luminal, human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-enriched vs. non-HER2-enriched, and triple -negative breast cancer (TNBC) vs. non-TNBC. For each dichotomous task, the LE, RC, and LE+RC radiomics models were built by the support vector machine classifier. The prediction performance of the models was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Then, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated for the models. DeLong's test was utilised to compare the AUCs. Results: Radiomics models based on CEM are valuable for predicting breast cancer molecular subtypes. The LE+RC model achieved the best performance in the test set. The LE+RC model predicted Luminal, HER2-enriched, and TNBC subtypes with AUCs of 0.93, 0.89, and 0.87 in the internal test set and 0.82, 0.83, and 0.69 in the external test set, respectively. In addition, the LE model performed more satisfactorily than the RC model. Conclusion: CEM radiomics features can effectively predict breast cancer molecular subtypes preoperatively, and the LE+RC model has the best predictive performance.
OBJECTIVES:To explore the value of whole tumour- and subregion-based radiomics of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) in differentiating the HER2 expression status of breast cancers. METHODS:352 patients underwent preoperative CEM from two centres were consecutively enroled and divided into the training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts. The lesions were divided into HER2-positive and HER2-negative groups. Besides the radiological features, radiomics features capturing the whole tumour-based (wITH) and subregion-based intratumoral heterogeneity (sITH) were extracted from the craniocaudal view of CEM recombined images. The XGBoost classifier was applied to develop the radiological, sITH, and wITH models. A combined model was constructed by fusing the prediction results of the three models. RESULTS:The mean age of the patients was 51.1 ± 10.7 years. Two radiological features, four wITH features, and three sITH features were selected to establish the models. The combined model significantly improved the AUC to 0.80 ± 0.03 (95% CI: 0.73-0.86), 0.79 ± 0.06 (95% CI: 0.67-0.90), and 0.79 ± 0.05 (95% CI: 0.69-0.89) in the training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts, respectively (All P < 0.05). The combined model showed good agreement between the predicted and observed probabilities and favourable net clinical benefit in the validation cohorts. CONCLUSIONS:Both whole tumour- and subregion-based ITH radiomics features of CEM exhibited potential for differentiating the HER2 expression status. Combining conventional radiological features and ITH features can improve the model's performance.
Abstract Objective To generate an image‐driven biomarker (Rad_score) to predict tumor‐infiltrating regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg) in breast cancer (BC). Methods Overall, 928 BC patients were enrolled from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) for survival analysis; MRI (n = 71 and n = 30 in the training and validation sets, respectively) from the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) were retrieved and subjected to repeat least absolute shrinkage and selection operator for feature reduction. The radiomic scores (rad_score) for Treg infiltration estimation were calculated via support vector machine (SVM) and logistic regression (LR) algorithms, and validated on the remaining patients. Results Landmark analysis indicated Treg infiltration was a risk factor for BC patients in the first 5 years and after 10 years of diagnosis (p = 0.007 and 0.018, respectively). Altogether, 108 radiomic features were extracted from MRI images, 4 of which remained for model construction. Areas under curves (AUCs) of the SVM model were 0.744 (95% CI 0.622–0.867) and 0.733 (95% CI 0.535–0.931) for training and validation sets, respectively, while for the LR model, AUCs were 0.771 (95% CI 0.657–0.885) and 0.724 (95% CI 0.522–0.926). The calibration curves indicated good agreement between prediction and true value (p > 0.05), and DCA shows the high clinical utility of the radiomic model. Rad_score was significantly correlated with immune inhibitory genes like CTLA4 and PDCD1. Conclusions High Treg infiltration is a risk factor for patients with BC. The Rad_score formulated on radiomic features is a novel tool to predict Treg abundance in the tumor microenvironment.

Motivation: Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging can evaluate tissue microperfusion and diffusion information respectively, which can more accurately evaluate renal fibrosis (RF) in chronic kidney disease. Goal(s): IVIM can reflect the occurrence and development of RF from two aspects of perfusion and diffusion respectively. It has a great application prospect for the evaluation of RF. Approach: The dynamic changes of renal cortical and medullary signal with the progression of fibrosis were monitored by IVIM, and the compensatory effect of the contralateral kidney was analyzed. Results: Some IVIM parameters of the renal cortex and medulla were moderately or strongly negatively correlated with RF. Impact: Early detection and dynamic evaluation of the process of RF are crucial for reversing renal function damage. IVIM can reflect the development of RF from two aspects of perfusion and diffusion, which has a great application prospect for evaluating RF.
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and MRI in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions based on the 2013 breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) lexicon and the supplement on CEM.Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 83 patients with breast lesions from March 2019 to April 2022 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed. Totally 100 breast lesions from 83 female patients aged 28 to 78 (49±14) years, were divided into benign lesions (50 lesions) and malignant lesions (50 lesions) according to the pathological results. The t-test, χ 2 test and Fisher′s exact test were used to compare the differences of clinical and imaging features between benign and malignant lesions, and these imaging features which had statistical differences were established CEM and MRI models by multivariate logistic regression analysis respectively. The receiver operating characteristic curves and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the diagnostic efficacy of two models in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions. Using the DeLong test compared the AUC. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that associated features (OR=9.075,95%CI 1.430-57.570, P=0.019), lesion conspicuity (OR=6.180,95%CI 2.608-14.646, P<0.001), mass margin (OR=2.193,95%CI 1.405-3.422, P=0.001) and calcification distribution (OR=2.147,95%CI 1.157-3.986, P=0.015) were independent predictors of differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions in CEM, and then the predictive model of CEM was constructed. Time-signal intensity curve (OR=9.230, 95%CI 3.178-26.805, P<0.001), associated features (OR=5.289,95%CI 1.343-20.831, P=0.017) and mass margin (OR=2.192,95%CI 1.336-3.597, P=0.002) were independent predictors of differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions in MRI, and the predictive model of MRI was constructed. The AUC of CEM and MRI models for differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions were 0.947 and 0.930 respectively, and two models were no significant difference ( Z=0.68, P=0.494). Conclusion:The diagnostic efficacy of CEM and MRI in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions is comparable based on the 2013 BI-RADS lexicon and the supplement on CEM.

Objective:To investigate the value of multimodal MRI radiomics in the preoperative prediction of Fuhrman nuclear grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).Methods:A total of 129 patients with ccRCC confirmed by pathology from April 2011 to April 2021 in Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were collected, and the imaging and clinicopathological data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into training set ( n=90) and validation set ( n=39) at the ratio of 7∶3 using random indicator method. According to the postoperative pathological results, Fuhrman grades Ⅰ and Ⅱ were included in the low grade group (96 cases, 65 cases in the training set and 31 cases in the validation set), and Fuhrman grades Ⅲ and Ⅳ were included in the high grade group (33 cases, 25 cases in the training set and 8 cases in the validation set). Two radiologists manually delineated regions of interest (ROI) on T 1WI, T 2WI, Dixon-water, Dixon-fat, susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) images, and 396 texture features were extracted from each ROI. In the training set, intra-class correlation coefficient, Mann-Whitney U test, minimum redundancy maximum relevance and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method were used to reduce the dimension of features to obtain the best texture features. The logistic regression was used to develop the multimodal radiomics model, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the model in identifying high and low-grade ccRCC in training set and validation set. Results:Four SWI, one T 2WI and one BOLD texture features were selected for modeling. The areas under the ROC curve (95%CI) of the multimodal radiomics model for identifying high and low grade ccRCC in the training and validation sets were 0.859 (0.770-0.923) and 0.883 (0.740-0.964), with the specificity at 95.4% and 87.1%, the sensitivity at 68.0% and 87.5%, the accuracy at 87.8% and 87.2%, respectively. Conclusion:The multimodal MRI radiomics model based on T 2WI, SWI and BOLD images has high effectiveness in preoperative predicting Fuhrman nuclear grade of ccRCC.
Background: Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) could reflect tissue blood oxygen levels, and then whether it could be used to evaluate renal injury remains to be further studied. This study aimed to examine the performance of SWI parameters and SWI-based texture features in evaluating renal dysfunction of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: Forty-five patients with T2DM were included. With the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the patients were divided into non-moderate-severe renal injured group (non-msRI, eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) and moderate-severe renal injured group (msRI, eGFR <= 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)). The 3 SWI parameters and 16 SWI-based texture features between non-msRI and msRI were compared. The correlation between the parameters and BUN, Scr was analyzed. Results: The signal intensity ratio of the medulla to psoas muscle (MPswi) was significantly lower than the signal intensity ratio of the cortex to psoas muscle (CPswi) in non-msRI and msRI group (t=8.619, 3.483, respectively, P<0.05). MPswi was higher, and the signal intensity ratio of the cortex to the medulla (CMswi), Skewness, Correlation were lower in msRI than in non-msRI (P<0.05). These parameters showed similar diagnostic efficacies for msRI (P>0.05), and AUCs were 0.703-0.854. CMswi was an independent protective factor for msRI (OR=0.026, P=0.003). MPswi and CMswi were correlated with BUN ( r=0.416, -0.545, P<0.05). CMswi and Correlation were correlated with Scr (r=-0.645, -0.411, P<0.05). Conclusions: SWI was valuable for assessing renal dysfunction, which may be helpful for the evaluation of moderate-severe renal injured patients with T2DM.

explore the feasibility of evaluating renal ischemia?reperfusion injury (IRI) at different time by using T2*mapping. Methods Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were used to build therenal IRI injury model by blocked the left renal arteries and veins by using noninvasive arterial clip, left renal ischemia?reperfusion was performed by clamping of the left renal pedicle for 60 minutes, followed by reperfusion. All the rabbits underwent MRI examination including axial T2WI and T2*mapping before scanning and 1 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after reperfusion. Every two rabbits were randomly sacrificed at 1 h, 12 h, and 24 h after reperfusion. The rest of the rabbits were sacrificed for pathological examination at 48 h after reperfusion. All specimens were cut into slices and stained with hematoxylin?eosin (HE). The values of T2*, R2* and the pathological scores of cell edema, cell necrosis, interstitial inflammation and tubular castin renal tissues at different time points were measured. Repetitive measurement deviation analysis was performed to compare difference of T2*and R2*at 5 time?points. The relationship between the value of T2*and R2*in renal tissues and the scores of cell edema, cell necrosis, interstitial inflammation and tubular castin renal tissues was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. Results T2*value and R2*value in both inner medulla and outer medulla were statistically significant (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant in the cortex (P>0.05).Pairwise comparison of T2*and R2*at different time points in the cortex showed statistically significant difference between before and 24 h,before and 48 h, 12 h and 48 h were statistically significant (P<0.05), while the remaining were no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).T2*value of the outer medullar after IRI positively correlated with the scores of cell edema, interstitial inflammation and tubular castin renal tissues(r values were 0.57, 0.38, 0.33; P<0.05). R2* value of the outer medullar after IRI negatively correlated with the scores of cell edema(r value was -0.52, P<0.05). Conclusion T2* mapping could reflect the dynamic changes in different zones and different time points after renal IRI, especially in the outer medullary band which has good consistency with pathological score.
