TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of model construction, in particular to a blood drug concentration prediction model based on artificial intelligence and a construction method and application thereof BACKGROUND
[0002] Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare and aggressive vascular tumor that mainly occurs in infants and children, with an annual incidence of about 9 / 100,000. About 70% of KHE cases are associated with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP), which leads to a very high mortality rate. Without effective treatment, the mortality rate can be as high as 20-30%. Traditionally, the use of mTOR blocker sirolimus in the treatment of KHE has achieved remarkable results, effectively controlling tumor growth and reducing tumor size.
[0003] However, as an immunosuppressant, sirolimus can cause multiple systemic injuries during treatment, including anemia, thrombocytopenia, interstitial lung disease, and other serious side effects. The incidence and severity of adverse reactions are closely related to the dose of the drug.
[0004] Currently, the monitoring of sirolimus blood concentration mainly relies on high-performance liquid chromatography analysis (LC / UV) or liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC / MS-MS) technology. These methods are technically difficult and costly, making it difficult to popularize in primary hospitals, resulting in a significant increase in the time and economic costs of patients seeking medical treatment.
[0005] At the same time, the pharmacokinetics of sirolimus is significantly affected by genetic polymorphisms of CYP 3A4 / 5, CYP 2C8, and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), but there is currently no blood concentration prediction system based on these genetic polymorphisms applied in clinical practice.
[0006] Therefore, the development of a low-cost, easy-to-promote, and real-time dynamic monitoring of sirolimus blood concentration prediction model is of great significance for improving the treatment effect of KHE children, reducing treatment costs, and reducing adverse reactions.

[0049] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which make the technical content of the present application clearer and easier to understand. The present application can be embodied in many different forms, and the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the embodiments described herein.
[0050] The present application relates to the cross field of biological medicine and artificial intelligence, and proposes an innovative blood drug concentration prediction model based on artificial intelligence technology, especially for real-time dynamic monitoring and accurate prediction of blood drug concentration of children with Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) during the treatment with sirolimus. This model aims to solve the problems of current sirolimus blood drug concentration monitoring technology, such as high difficulty, expensive equipment and difficulty in popularization, and provides a more convenient, economical and efficient solution for clinical treatment.
[0051] Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare and invasive vascular tumor, mainly affecting infants and children. Although its incidence is low, the disease is serious and often accompanied by Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP), resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Sirolimus is an effective drug for treating KHE, and its efficacy is significant, but the side effects of the drug cannot be ignored, and the incidence and severity of side effects are closely related to blood drug concentration. At present, the monitoring of sirolimus blood drug concentration mainly relies on high-end technologies such as liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC / MS-MS). Although these technologies are accurate and reliable, they are expensive and complex to operate, and are difficult to popularize in primary hospitals, resulting in high cost of patient treatment and reduced treatment compliance.
[0052] In view of the above background, the present application proposes a blood concentration prediction model combining genetic polymorphism detection and artificial intelligence algorithm. The model collects whole blood samples of KHE children after taking sirolimus, detects blood drug concentration using LC / MS-MS technology, and detects polymorphism of CYP 3A4 / 5, CYP 2C8, P-gp and other key genes using high-resolution melting curve (HRM) technology. These genetic polymorphisms are known to have a significant impact on the pharmacokinetics of sirolimus, so they are included in the prediction model, which helps improve the accuracy of the prediction.
[0053] In the data collection and preprocessing stage, the present application first establishes a standardized sample collection and processing procedure. After the whole blood sample is collected, blood drug concentration detection and genetic polymorphism analysis are immediately performed. Blood drug concentration detection uses LC / MS-MS technology, which includes preparing standard stock solution and working solution, preparing whole blood standard curve and quality control solution, sample pretreatment (such as protein precipitation, organic solvent extraction), etc. to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the detection results. Genetic polymorphism detection is performed by extracting whole blood DNA, designing and synthesizing primers for target genes, performing PCR amplification, verifying PCR products using gel electrophoresis, and finally analyzing melting curves using HRM technology to determine genotypes.
[0054] After completing data collection, the present application organizes and stores the data, establishing a structured database. The database not only contains blood drug concentration and genetic polymorphism data, but also integrates basic information of the children (such as age, gender, weight) and treatment records (such as drug dosage, drug administration time), providing comprehensive data support for subsequent feature extraction and model construction.
[0055] Feature extraction and dimensionality reduction are key steps in model construction. The present application extracts feature variables related to sirolimus blood concentration from the database, including genetic polymorphism, age, weight, drug dosage, and drug administration time. Considering the overfitting problem that may be caused by high-dimensional data, the present application applies the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm to reduce the dimensionality of the feature data. LASSO algorithm can automatically select feature variables that have a significant impact on blood drug concentration prediction by introducing L1 regularization term, reducing model complexity and improving prediction accuracy.
[0056] In the prediction model construction stage, the present application selects the extreme gradient boosting algorithm (XGBoost) to construct a regression prediction model. XGBoost is an ensemble learning algorithm based on decision trees, which has the advantages of high efficiency, accuracy, and anti-overfitting, and is especially suitable for processing large-scale data sets. The present application uses Python 3.6 as the platform, based on the scikit-learn machine learning algorithm library, and uses the XGBRegressor function to construct an XGBoost regression prediction model. In the model training process, the five-fold cross-validation method is used to divide the data set into training set and validation set, and by continuously adjusting the model parameters (such as learning rate, maximum depth of tree, and proportion of subsample, etc.), the model performance is optimized. At the same time, the present application uses mean square error (MSE), square root mean square error (RMSE) and R² coefficient as evaluation indexes to evaluate the model performance, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the prediction results.
[0057] In order to reveal the key factors affecting the blood concentration of sirolimus, the present application also analyzes the importance of each feature in the model by using SHAP value (SHapley Additive exPlanation value). SHAP value is based on the idea of game theory, which can quantify the contribution of each feature to the prediction result, and provide a scientific basis for clinical treatment. Through feature importance analysis, the present application finds that genetic polymorphism, dosage and body weight are the main factors affecting the blood concentration of sirolimus, which is consistent with the existing research results, further verifying the accuracy of the model.
[0058] In the prediction software design and development stage, the present application designs a set of blood concentration prediction software architecture based on artificial intelligence. The architecture includes data acquisition module, data processing module, prediction model module and prediction result display module. The data acquisition module is responsible for reading data from the database, the data processing module performs cleaning, desensitization and standardization processing on the data, the prediction model module loads the trained XGBoost model for prediction, and the prediction result display module presents the prediction result to the user in a visual form. In order to facilitate the operation and use of medical staff, the present application uses Visual Studio C++ to develop a human-computer interaction interface, which is simple and clear in design, and reasonable in function layout. At the same time, the present application also develops a mobile device end application, which is connected with the prediction system through wireless communication, realizing remote data acquisition and prediction result display. Medical staff can check the blood concentration prediction results of patients at any time and anywhere through mobile devices such as mobile phones or tablets, and adjust the treatment plan in time.
[0059] The early warning function is a highlight of the present application. In the prediction software, the present application sets up an early warning mechanism. When the predicted sirolimus blood concentration exceeds the safe range, the system automatically sends an early warning message to remind medical staff to adjust the dosage or take other measures in time. The early warning message is pushed to medical staff through short message, email or application notification, etc. to ensure the timely transmission and processing of the early warning information. This function helps to discover and handle potential drug overdose or deficiency in time, reduces the occurrence of adverse reactions, and improves the safety of patient treatment.
[0060] The technical innovations of the present application mainly lie in the following aspects: 1. Multi-dimensional data fusion. The present application fuses blood concentration detection data with genetic polymorphism data, patient basic information and other multi-dimensional data, improving the accuracy and reliability of the prediction model. 2. Application of artificial intelligence algorithm. The present application introduces the extreme gradient boosting algorithm (XGBoost) to build the prediction model, which automatically learns the data features by using machine learning technology, realizing the accurate prediction of sirolimus blood concentration. 3. Real-time dynamic monitoring. Through the mobile device application, real-time dynamic monitoring and early warning of sirolimus blood concentration are realized, providing timely and accurate data support for clinical treatment. 4. Low cost and easy to promote. The prediction model of the present application is based on conventional detection equipment and artificial intelligence algorithm, without the need for expensive special equipment, which is low in cost and easy to promote and apply in primary hospitals.
[0061] In the implementation process, the present application relies on the experimental base of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, equipped with conventional experimental equipment such as liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer, PCR amplifier, gel electrophoresis instrument, etc. A multidisciplinary team composed of biomedical basic experimental personnel, computer professionals and medical related personnel is formed. Team members perform their respective duties and work together to complete data collection, model building, software development and optimization, etc. At the same time, the present application selects mature database management systems (such as MySQL) and artificial intelligence algorithm libraries (such as scikit-learn), ensuring the smooth progress of data storage, query and analysis, and algorithm development and verification.
[0062] Through the implementation of the present application, real-time dynamic monitoring and prediction of blood concentration of KHE children during the treatment with sirolimus can be realized, providing timely and accurate data support for clinical treatment. This achievement not only helps to improve the treatment effect, reduce the treatment cost and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, but also promotes the development of personalized treatment. In the future, the present application will further optimize the model performance, expand the application range, and provide strong support for the treatment of more diseases.
