RESUMO

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal tumor within the female reproductive system. Medical imaging plays a significant role in diagnosis and monitoring OC. This study aims to use bibliometric analysis to explore the current research hotspots and collaborative networks in the application of medical imaging in OC from 2000 to 2022. Methods: A systematica search for medical imaging in OC was conducted on the Web of Science Core Collection on August 9, 2023. All reviews and articles published from January 2000 to December 2022 were downloaded, and an analysis of countries, institutions, journals, keywords, and collaborative networks was perfomed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. Results: A total of 5,958 publications were obtained, demonstrating a clear upward trend in annual publications over the study peroid. The USA led in productivity with 1,373 publications, and Harvard University emerged as the most prominent institution with 202 publications. Timmerman D was the most prolific contributor with 100 publications, and Gynecological Oncology led in the number of publications with 296. The top three keywords were "ovarian cancer" (1,256), "ultrasound" (725), and "diagnosis" (712). In addition, "pelvic masses" had the highest burst strength (25.5), followed by "magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)" (21.47). Recent emergent keywords such as "apoptosis", "nanoparticles", "features", "accuracy", and "human epididymal protein 4 (HE 4)" reflect research trends in this field and may become research hotspots in the future. Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive summary of the key contributions of OC imaging to field's development over the past 23 years. Presently, primary areas of OC imaging research include MRI, targeted therapy of OC, novel biomarker (HE 4), and artificial intelligence. These areas are expected to influence future research endeavors in this field.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pyroptosis is closely related to cancer prognosis. In this study, we tried to construct an individualized prognostic risk model for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on within-sample relative expression orderings (REOs) of pyroptosis-related lncRNAs (PRlncRNAs). METHODS: RNA-seq data of 343 HCC samples derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were analyzed. PRlncRNAs were detected based on differentially expressed lncRNAs between sample groups clustered by 40 reported pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs). Univariate Cox regression was used to screen out prognosis-related PRlncRNA pairs. Then, based on REOs of prognosis-related PRlncRNA pairs, a risk model for HCC was constructed by combining LASSO and stepwise multivariate Cox regression analysis. Finally, a prognosis-related competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was built based on information about lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions derived from the miRNet and TargetScan databases. RESULTS: Hierarchical clustering of HCC patients according to the 40 PRGs identified two groups with a significant survival difference (Kaplan-Meier log-rank, p = 0.026). Between the two groups, 104 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified (|log2(FC)|> 1 and FDR < 5%). Among them, 83 PRlncRNA pairs showed significant associations between their REOs within HCC samples and overall survival (Univariate Cox regression, p < 0.005). An optimal 11-PRlncRNA-pair prognostic risk model was constructed for HCC. The areas under the curves (AUCs) of time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the risk model for 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival were 0.737, 0.705, and 0.797 in the validation set, respectively. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis showed that inflammation-related interleukin signaling pathways were upregulated in the predicted high-risk group (p < 0.05). Tumor immune infiltration analysis revealed a higher abundance of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and M2 macrophages and a lower abundance of CD8 + T cells in the high-risk group, indicating that excessive pyroptosis might occur in high-risk patients. Finally, eleven lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory axes associated with pyroptosis were established. CONCLUSION: Our risk model allowed us to determine the robustness of the REO-based PRlncRNA prognostic biomarkers in the stratification of HCC patients at high and low risk. The model is also helpful for understanding the molecular mechanisms between pyroptosis and HCC prognosis. High-risk patients may have excessive pyroptosis and thus be less sensitive to immune therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Serum microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosing glioma. However, most reported predictive models are constructed without a large enough sample size, and quantitative expression levels of their constituent serum miRNAs are susceptible to batch effects, decreasing their clinical applicability. METHODS: We propose a general method for detecting qualitative serum predictive biomarkers using a large cohort of miRNA-profiled serum samples (n = 15,460) based on the within-sample relative expression orderings of miRNAs. RESULTS: Two panels of miRNA pairs (miRPairs) were developed. The first was composed of five serum miRPairs (5-miRPairs), reaching 100% diagnostic accuracy in three validation sets for distinguishing glioma and non-cancer controls (n = 436: glioma = 236, non-cancers = 200). An additional validation set without glioma samples (non-cancers = 2611) showed a predictive accuracy of 95.9%. The second panel included 32 serum miRPairs (32-miRPairs), reaching 100% diagnostic performance in training set on specifically discriminating glioma from other cancer types (sensitivity = 100%, specificity = 100%, accuracy = 100%), which was reproducible in five validation datasets (n = 3387: glioma = 236, non-glioma cancers = 3151, sensitivity> 97.9%, specificity> 99.5%, accuracy> 95.7%). In other brain diseases, the 5-miRPairs classified all non-neoplastic samples as non-cancer, including stroke (n = 165), Alzheimer's disease (n = 973), and healthy samples (n = 1820), and all neoplastic samples as cancer, including meningioma (n = 16), and primary central nervous system lymphoma samples (n = 39). The 32-miRPairs predicted 82.2 and 92.3% of the two kinds of neoplastic samples as positive, respectively. Based on the Human miRNA tissue atlas database, the glioma-specific 32-miRPairs were significantly enriched in the spinal cord (p = 0.013) and brain (p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS: The identified 5-miRPairs and 32-miRPairs provide potential population screening and cancer-specific biomarkers for glioma clinical practice.

RESUMO

Serous ovarian cancer is the most common type of ovarian epithelial cancer and usually has a poor prognosis. The objective of this study was to construct an individualized prognostic model for predicting overall survival in serous ovarian cancer. Based on the relative expression orderings (Ea > Eb/Ea ≤ Eb) of gene pairs closely associated with serous ovarian prognosis, we tried constructing a potential individualized qualitative biomarker by the greedy algorithm and evaluated the performance in independent validation datasets. We constructed a prognostic biomarker consisting of 20 gene pairs (SOV-P20). The overall survival between high- and low-risk groups stratified by SOV-P20 was statistically significantly different in the training and independent validation datasets from other platforms (p < 0.05, Wilcoxon test). The average area under the curve (AUC) values of the training and three validation datasets were 0.756, 0.590, 0.630, and 0.680, respectively. The distribution of most immune cells between high- and low-risk groups was quite different (p < 0.001, Wilcoxon test). The low-risk patients tended to show significantly better tumor response to chemotherapy than the high-risk patients (p < 0.05, Fisher's exact test). SOV-P20 achieved the highest mean index of concordance (C-index) (0.624) compared with the other seven existing prognostic signatures (ranging from 0.511 to 0.619). SOV-P20 is a promising prognostic biomarker for serous ovarian cancer, which will be applicable for clinical predictive risk assessment.

RESUMO

Objective: The accuracy of CA125 or clinical examination in ovarian cancer (OVC) screening is still facing challenges. Serum miRNAs have been considered as promising biomarkers for clinical applications. Here, we propose a single sample classifier (SSC) method based on within-sample relative expression orderings (REOs) of serum miRNAs for OVC diagnosis. Methods: Based on the stable REOs within 4,965 non-cancer serum samples, we developed the SSC for OVC in the training cohort (GSE106817: OVC = 200, non-cancer = 2,000) by focusing on highly reversed REOs within OVC. The best diagnosis is achieved using a combination of reversed miRNA pairs, considering the largest evaluation index and the lowest number of miRNA pairs possessed according to the voting rule. The SSC was then validated in internal data (GSE106817: OVC = 120, non-cancer = 759) and external data (GSE113486: OVC = 40, non-cancer = 100). Results: The obtained 13-miRPairs classifier showed high diagnostic accuracy on distinguishing OVC from non-cancer controls in the training set (sensitivity = 98.00%, specificity = 99.60%), which was reproducible in internal data (sensitivity = 98.33%, specificity = 99.21%) and external data (sensitivity = 97.50%, specificity = 100%). Compared with the published models, it stood out in terms of correct positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) (PPV = 96.08% and NPV=95.16% in training set, and both above 99% in validation set). In addition, 13-miRPairs demonstrated a classification accuracy of over 97.5% for stage I OVC samples. By integrating other non-OVC serum samples as a control, the obtained 17-miRPairs classifier could distinguish OVC from other cancers (AUC>92% in training and validation set). Conclusion: The REO-based SSCs performed well in predicting OVC (including early samples) and distinguishing OVC from other cancer types, proving that REOs of serum miRNAs represent a robust and non-invasive biomarker.
