Deep Convolutional Neural Networks Detect Tumor Genotype from Pathological Tissue Images in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are common mesenchymal tumors, and their effective treatment depends upon the mutational subtype of the KIT/PDGFRA genes. We established deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) models to rapidly predict drug-sensitive mutation subtypes from images of pathological tissue. A total of 5153 pathological images of 365 different GISTs from three different laboratories were collected and divided into training and validation sets. A transfer learning mechanism based on DCNN was used with four different network architectures, to identify cases with drug-sensitive mutations. The accuracy ranged from 87% to 75%. Cross-institutional inconsistency, however, was observed. Using gray-scale images resulted in a 7% drop in accuracy (accuracy 80%, sensitivity 87%, specificity 73%). Using images containing only nuclei (accuracy 81%, sensitivity 87%, specificity 73%) or cytoplasm (accuracy 79%, sensitivity 88%, specificity 67%) produced 6% and 8% drops in accuracy rate, respectively, suggesting buffering effects across subcellular components in DCNN interpretation. The proposed DCNN model successfully inferred cases with drug-sensitive mutations with high accuracy. The contribution of image color and subcellular components was also revealed. These results will help to generate a cheaper and quicker screening method for tumor gene testing.

Optimal Denoising and Feature Extraction Methods Using Modified CEEMD Combined with Duffing System and Their Applications in Fault Line Selection of Non-Solid-Earthed Network

As the non-solid-earthed network fails, the zero-sequence current of each line is highly non-stationary, and the noise component is serious. This paper proposes a fault line selection method based on modified complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (MCEEMD) and the Duffing system. Here, based on generalized composite multiscale permutation entropy (GCMPE) and support vector machine (SVM) for signal randomness detection, the complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition is modified. The MCEEMD algorithm has good adaptability, and it can restrain the modal aliasing of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) at a certain level. The Duffing system is highly sensitive when the frequency of the external force signal is the same as that of the internal force signal. For automatically identifying chaotic characteristics, by using the texture features of the phase diagram, the method can quickly obtain the numerical criterion of the chaotic nature. Firstly, the zero-sequence current is decomposed into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMF) to complete the first noise-reduction. Then an optimized smooth denoising model is established to select optimal IMF for signal reconstruction, which can complete the second noise-reduction. Finally, the reconstructed signal is put into the Duffing system. The trisection symmetry phase estimation is used to determine the relative phase of the detection signal. The faulty line in the non-solid-earthed network is selected with the diagram outputted by the Duffing system.
