The deep neural network model has many layers, large parameters and complex calculation, so how to enhance the precise and performance of the model has become a research hotspot. The navigation system of autonomous vehicles is very dependent on the precise from the learning model. If the autonomous vehicle can not be accurately identified in bad weather, it will cause very serious consequences. Generally, the accuracy of the model can be improved by increasing the scale of the training data set, but how to obtain a large-scale data set is a challenge, because the data set containing a large amount of user privacy has the risk of data leakage. Blockchain can establish trust relationship between network entities and enhance the deep learning network security and robustness of the model. Based on block chain distributed account in the system, this paper gives a safe distributed peer-to-peer model, deep learning model for training. The identity of the model anonymize the data provider, make consumers more liking to share their private data, thereby increasing the training data set of deep learning model.This article uses the stellar block chain framework as a depth model for safety training.
Tumor heterogeneity is generated through a combination of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, the latter of which plays an important role in the generation of stem like cells responsible for tumor formation and metastasis. Although the development of single cell transcriptomic technologies holds promise to deconvolute this complexity, a number of these techniques have limitations including drop-out and uneven coverage, which challenge the further delineation of tumor heterogeneity. We adopted deep and full-length single-cell RNA sequencing on Fluidigm’s Polaris platform to reveal the cellular, transcriptomic, and isoform heterogeneity of SUM149, a triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line. We first validate the quality of the TNBC sequencing data with the sequencing data from erythroleukemia K562 cell line as control. We next scrutinized well-defined marker genes for cancer stem-like cell to identify different cell populations. We then profile the isoform expression data to investigate the heterogeneity of alternative splicing patterns. Though classified as triple-negative breast cancer, the SUM149 stem cells show heterogeneous expression of marker receptors (ER, PR, and HER2) across the cells. We identified three cell populations that express patterns of stemness: epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) cancer stem cells (CSCs), mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) CSCs and Dual-EMT-MET CSCs. These cells also manifested a high level of heterogeneity in alternative splicing patterns. For example, CSCs have shown different expression patterns of the CD44v6 exon, as well as different levels of truncated EGFR transcripts, which may suggest different potentials for proliferation and invasion among cancer stem cells. Our study identified features of the landscape of previously underestimated cellular, transcriptomic, and isoform heterogeneity of cancer stem cells in triple-negative breast cancers.
Purpose To design a computational method for automatic brain glioma segmentation of multimodal MRI scans with high efficiency and accuracy. Materials and Methods The 2018 Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (BraTS) dataset was used in this study, consisting of routine clinically acquired preoperative multimodal MRI scans. Three subregions of glioma-the necrotic and nonenhancing tumor core, the peritumoral edema, and the contrast-enhancing tumor-were manually labeled by experienced radiologists. Two-dimensional U-Net models were built using a three-plane-assembled approach to segment three subregions individually (three-region model) or to segment only the whole tumor (WT) region (WT-only model). The term three-plane-assembled means that coronal and sagittal images were generated by reformatting the original axial images. The model performance for each case was evaluated in three classes: enhancing tumor (ET), tumor core (TC), and WT. Results On the internal unseen testing dataset split from the 2018 BraTS training dataset, the proposed models achieved mean Sørensen-Dice scores of 0.80, 0.84, and 0.91, respectively, for ET, TC, and WT. On the BraTS validation dataset, the proposed models achieved mean 95% Hausdorff distances of 3.1 mm, 7.0 mm, and 5.0 mm, respectively, for ET, TC, and WT and mean Sørensen-Dice scores of 0.80, 0.83, and 0.91, respectively, for ET, TC, and WT. On the BraTS testing dataset, the proposed models ranked fourth out of 61 teams. The source code is available at https://github.com/GuanLab/Brain_Glioma. Conclusion This deep learning method consistently segmented subregions of brain glioma with high accuracy, efficiency, reliability, and generalization ability on screening images from a large population, and it can be efficiently implemented in clinical practice to assist neuro-oncologists or radiologists.

Gliomas are the most common primary brain malignancies, with different degrees of aggressiveness, variable prognosis and various heterogeneous histologic sub-regions, i.e., peritumoral edematous/invaded tissue, necrotic core, active and non-enhancing core. This intrinsic heterogeneity is also portrayed in their radio-phenotype, as their sub-regions are depicted by varying intensity profiles disseminated across multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) scans, reflecting varying biological properties. Their heterogeneous shape, extent, and location are some of the factors that make these tumors difficult to resect, and in some cases inoperable. The amount of resected tumor is a factor also considered in longitudinal scans, when evaluating the apparent tumor for potential diagnosis of progression. Furthermore, there is mounting evidence that accurate segmentation of the various tumor sub-regions can offer the basis for quantitative image analysis towards prediction of patient overall survival. This study assesses the state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) methods used for brain tumor image analysis in mpMRI scans, during the last seven instances of the International Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenge, i.e., 2012-2018. Specifically, we focus on i) evaluating segmentations of the various glioma sub-regions in pre-operative mpMRI scans, ii) assessing potential tumor progression by virtue of longitudinal growth of tumor sub-regions, beyond use of the RECIST/RANO criteria, and iii) predicting the overall survival from pre-operative mpMRI scans of patients that underwent gross total resection. Finally, we investigate the challenge of identifying the best ML algorithms for each of these tasks, considering that apart from being diverse on each instance of the challenge, the multi-institutional mpMRI BraTS dataset has also been a continuously evolving/growing dataset.
