[0058] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a centrifugal system in an embodiment, and the centrifugal system includes: a sample chamber, a mixing and resuspension chamber, a collection chamber, and a waste liquid chamber.
[0060] Sample chamber, used to place preset reagents.
[0061] The mixing and resuspension chamber is connected to the sample chamber and has a first channel for allowing the liquid in the sample chamber to enter the mixing and resuspension chamber at a preset centrifugal speed. The mixing and resuspension chamber is used to mix the preset reagent entering from the first channel and the sample liquid to be detected input from the input channel at the mixing centrifugal speed to obtain a mixed liquid, and separate the mixed liquid to obtain a cell precipitate and a waste liquid.
[0062] The collection chamber is used to collect cell sediments. The waste liquid chamber is used to collect waste liquid.
[0063] The preset reagent may be a reagent for decomposing impurities in the sample liquid to be detected, and the preset reagent may be one or more. The sample liquid to be detected may be urine, and the preset reagent may be a reagent that can decompose other impurities in urine, such as red blood cell lysis solution and other reagents. The sample chamber may include multiple subchambers for storing different types of preset reagents respectively; the sample chamber may also include a chamber for placing different preset reagents in sequence, which is not limited here.
[0064] Specifically, as shown in FIG1 , the sample chamber can be connected to the mixing and resuspension chamber, and the preset reagent in the sample chamber is injected into the mixing and resuspension chamber through the first channel, and mixed with the sample liquid to be detected in the mixing and resuspension chamber to obtain a mixed liquid. The mixed liquid is separated in the first mixing and resuspension chamber to obtain a cell precipitate and a waste liquid. The separation method can be to separate the waste liquid and the cell precipitate in the mixed liquid by setting a corresponding centrifugal speed for the centrifugal system, and the specific separation method is not limited here.
[0065] Specifically, the cell precipitate obtained after the separation of the mixed liquid can be collected by a collection chamber or other container so as to perform subsequent treatment on the collected cell precipitate. The waste liquid after the separation of the mixed liquid can be collected by the waste liquid chamber, and the collection method can be to introduce the waste liquid into the waste liquid chamber through a siphon channel, or the waste liquid after the cell precipitate is filtered through the collection chamber by the mixed liquid can be collected into the waste liquid chamber. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a centrifugal system in an embodiment. How to collect the cell precipitate into the collection chamber or the waste liquid into the waste liquid chamber is not limited here, and can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario.
[0066] Specifically, a material that is relatively easy to puncture can be designed at the bottom of the sample chamber. For example, the material that is relatively easy to puncture can be aluminum foil, and spikes are designed at corresponding positions of the aluminum foil, and springs are arranged on the plane where the spikes are located and at the bottom of the sample chamber. Under the action of the centrifugal speed, the spring can be deformed, and the aluminum foil is punctured under the action of the spikes, and the preset reagent in the sample chamber can flow into the mixing and resuspension chamber.
[0067] For example, in this embodiment, the centrifugal systems in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 can be superimposed, the cell precipitate in the collection chamber of FIG. 1 can be directly introduced into the mixing and resuspension chamber of FIG. 2, and the cell precipitate obtained in FIG. 1 can be processed in the next step. For example, the system of FIG. 1 can be used as a device for preliminary processing of the sample solution to be detected, and the cell precipitate after the preliminary processing can be directly introduced into a device for further processing of the cell precipitate. As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a centrifugal system in an embodiment.
[0068] Specifically, the centrifugal system can be used in a centrifuge, and the centrifuge provides the required centrifugal speed for the centrifugal system, thereby reducing application costs.
[0069] In summary, this embodiment sets up a sample chamber, a mixing and resuspension chamber, a collection chamber and a waste liquid chamber, and the sample liquid to be tested is centrifuged and mixed in the mixing and resuspension chamber by adding preset reagents, and the generated waste liquid and cell precipitate are separated to obtain the required cell precipitate, thereby realizing automated centrifugal separation, reducing damage to cell morphology, and improving the accuracy of subsequent detection.
[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the mixing and resuspension chamber includes a first mixing and resuspension chamber and a second mixing and resuspension chamber; wherein the first mixing and resuspension chamber is used to mix and centrifuge the sample liquid to be detected at a first mixing centrifugal speed, or to mix and centrifuge the sample liquid to be detected with a first reagent to obtain a first mixed liquid, so that the waste liquid chamber collects the waste liquid of the first mixed liquid through the waste liquid chamber, and collects the first cell precipitate of the first mixed liquid into the second mixing and resuspension chamber through the second channel; the second mixing and resuspension chamber is used to mix the first cell precipitate with the second reagent in the second sample chamber at a second mixing centrifugal speed to obtain a second mixed liquid, so that the collecting chamber collects the second cell precipitate in the second mixed liquid, and collects the waste liquid of the second mixed liquid through the waste liquid chamber.
[0071] Wherein, the preset reagent includes a first reagent and a second reagent, and the types of the first reagent and the second reagent can be different or the same. The sample chamber includes a first sample chamber and a second sample chamber, and the first sample chamber and the second sample chamber can both be used to place the preset reagent. The first sample chamber and the second sample chamber only represent different positions in the centrifugal system. The mixed centrifugal speed includes a first mixed centrifugal speed and a second mixed centrifugal speed, and the first mixed centrifugal speed is less than the second mixed centrifugal speed. The sample liquid to be detected needs to enter the mixing and resuspension chamber before the preset reagent. The second cell precipitate is the cells required in the extracted sample liquid to be detected.
[0072] Specifically, the centrifugal system shown in FIG3 includes a mixing and resuspension chamber including a first mixing and resuspension chamber 31 and a second mixing and resuspension chamber 32. The first mixing and resuspension chamber 31 and the second resuspension chamber are located at different positions of the centrifugal structure. The first mixing and resuspension chamber 31 can receive the sample liquid to be detected injected through the input channel, and then mix and centrifuge the sample liquid to be detected at a mixed centrifugal speed to complete the pretreatment of the sample liquid to be detected, so that the waste liquid chamber can collect the waste liquid generated through the channel. Under the action of the first centrifugal speed, the first reagent can be injected into the first mixing and resuspension chamber 31 through the first channel. Under the action of the first mixing centrifugal speed, the first mixing and resuspension chamber 31 mixes and centrifuges the first reagent with the sample liquid to be detected; the waste liquid chamber can collect the waste liquid generated through the set channel; the cell precipitate can pass through the second channel, and the first cell precipitate of the first mixed liquid is collected to the second mixing and resuspension chamber 32.
[0073] The second mixing and resuspension chamber 32 is used to receive the first cell precipitate, and when the centrifugal speed reaches the preset centrifugal speed, receive the second reagent in the second sample chamber. At the second mixing centrifugal speed, the second reagent is mixed and centrifuged with the first cell precipitate to obtain a second mixed liquid. The second mixed liquid can flow into the collection chamber through the channel. The collection chamber retains the second cell precipitate and discharges other waste liquid into the waste liquid chamber.
[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the centrifugal system further includes: a first sample chamber 34 for storing a first reagent; and a first channel for introducing the first reagent into a first mixing and resuspension chamber under the action of a first centrifugal speed after the sample liquid to be tested is input through the input channel 33.
[0075] Specifically, the first sample chamber 34 can be used to store the first reagent, and the first reagent can be a red blood cell lysate. The first channel can establish a connection between the first sample chamber 34 and the first mixing and resuspension chamber under the action of the first centrifugal speed, inject the first reagent in the first sample chamber 34 into the first mixing and resuspension chamber, and perform preliminary treatment on the first reagent and the sample liquid to be detected. Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 3, the bottom of the first sample chamber 34 can be made of aluminum foil, and spikes are set at the position corresponding to the aluminum foil. The position of the spike is designed to be connected to the bottom of the first sample chamber 34 with a spring. Under the action of the first centrifugal speed, the spike can pierce the aluminum foil, establish the first channel between the first sample chamber 34 and the first mixing and resuspension chamber, and introduce the first reagent from the first sample chamber 34 into the first mixing and resuspension chamber.
[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the second sample chamber 35 includes a plurality of sample subchambers and third channels corresponding to each sample subchamber; the plurality of sample subchambers are used to store the second reagent; and the third channel is used to introduce the second reagent into the second mixing and resuspension chamber under the action of the second centrifugal speed.
[0077] Specifically, the second sample chamber 35 may include a plurality of sub-sample chambers, each of which may store a second reagent. The second reagent may be one or more different reagents. Under the action of the second centrifugal speed, the third channel establishes a connection between the second sample chamber 35 and the third channel, and introduces the reagent in each sub-sample chamber into the second mixing and resuspension chamber in sequence. The centrifuge can sequentially puncture the aluminum foil of each sub-sample chamber by designing different second centrifugal speeds, so that the second reagent in each sub-sample chamber is sequentially introduced into the second mixing and resuspension chamber. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG3 , the second sample chamber 35 in FIG3 includes two sub-sample chambers, and NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate) and PBS (phosphate buffered saline) may be placed in the two sub-sample chambers in sequence. At most one reagent is placed in each sub-sample chamber according to specific application requirements, which is not limited here. Aluminum foil is set at the bottom of the second sample chamber 35, and spikes are set below the corresponding position of the aluminum foil. Under the action of the second centrifugal speed, the spikes sequentially pierce the aluminum foil of the sub-sample chamber where NaHCO3 is located and the aluminum foil of the sub-sample chamber where PBS is located to form a third channel, and the second reagent is sequentially introduced from each sub-sample chamber into the second mixing and resuspension chamber.
[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, the collection chamber 36 is a multi-layer filter membrane structure; the pore size of the multi-layer filter membrane structure decreases from top to bottom, and the pore size of the bottom filter membrane of the multi-layer filter membrane structure is smaller than the diameter of the required cells; the multi-layer filter membrane structure includes a first filter membrane, a second filter membrane and a third filter membrane; the first filter membrane is used to retain the first impurities of the first diameter; the second filter membrane is used to retain the second protein flocs; the third filter membrane is used to collect the second cell precipitate and filter the impurities of the third diameter.
[0079] The first diameter is greater than the second diameter, the second diameter is greater than the third diameter, and the second cell sediment is smaller than the second diameter and greater than the third diameter. The first impurity and the second impurity are protein floccules of different diameters. The third impurity may be impurities such as bacteria that meet the third diameter range.
[0080] In one example, as shown in FIG4 , FIG4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a multilayer filter membrane structure in an embodiment. The collection chamber 36 is a multilayer filter membrane structure. The multilayer filter membrane structure is fixed to the tube wall of the centrifugal system and is detachable. The pore size of each layer of the multilayer filter membrane structure is set according to the diameter of the impurities to be filtered and the diameter of the required cells, and the impurities larger than the diameter of the required cells are filtered before reaching the bottom filter membrane, that is, the pore size of the bottom filter membrane should be smaller than the diameter of the required cells and larger than the diameter of the impurities to be filtered, and the required cells are collected on the bottom filter membrane, providing a basis for subsequent detection of the type of cells, and further improving the accuracy of cell detection.
[0081] For example, as shown in Table 1, Table 1 is the diameters of common cells in one embodiment.
[0082] Table 1
[0083]
[0084] The multi-layer filter membrane structure is divided into three layers of filter membranes, wherein the first filter membrane has a pore size of 80 μm, which is used to filter out the first impurity of the first diameter. The second filter membrane has a pore size of 40 μm, which is used to filter out the second impurity of the second diameter. The third filter membrane has a pore size of 3 μm, which is used to filter out bacteria and collect the desired cells. It should be understood that the above values are only used for example and cannot limit the specific pore size of the multi-layer filter membrane structure.
[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, the waste liquid chamber includes a first waste liquid chamber 37 and a second waste liquid chamber 38; the first waste liquid chamber 37 is connected to the first mixing and resuspension chamber by a fourth channel 39 for allowing the waste liquid of the first mixing and resuspension chamber to enter the waste liquid chamber at a third centrifugal speed; the second waste liquid chamber 38 is used to collect third impurities of a third diameter.
[0086] Specifically, as shown in FIG3 , the fourth channel 39 can be a siphon channel, which is composed of inner and outer channels, the inner siphon channel is used to remove the waste liquid generated when the sample liquid to be detected is pretreated, and the outer siphon channel is used to remove the waste liquid of the first mixed liquid. The end of the fourth channel 39 connected to the first waste liquid chamber 37 is closed with aluminum foil, and a spike is set at the lower end of the aluminum foil. When the centrifugal speed is the third centrifugal speed, the spike can pierce the aluminum foil, and the connection between the first waste liquid chamber 37 and the first mixing and resuspension chamber is established through the fourth channel 39. When the centrifugal speed drops to 0, the siphon channel is activated, and the waste liquid of the first mixed liquid in the first mixing and resuspension chamber can be siphoned to the first waste liquid chamber 37, so as to separate the waste liquid and cell precipitation of the first mixed liquid.
[0087] Specifically, the second waste liquid chamber 38 can collect waste liquid after the second mixed liquid passes through the collection chamber 36 .
[0088] In an exemplary embodiment, a fifth channel is connected between the collection chamber 36 and the second mixing and resuspension chamber 32 for allowing the second mixed liquid to enter the collection chamber 36 under the fourth centrifugal speed.
[0089] Specifically, as shown in FIG3 , the bottom of the second mixing and resuspension chamber 32 can be set to aluminum foil, and spikes are set at the lower end of the corresponding position of the aluminum foil, and the spikes can pierce the aluminum foil under the action of the fourth centrifugal speed. At the same time, the fifth channel can establish a connection between the second mixing and resuspension chamber and the collection chamber, and introduce the second mixed liquid in the second mixing and resuspension chamber 32 into the collection chamber 36, so as to achieve the enrichment of the second cell precipitation in the collection chamber 36.
[0090] Specifically, the speed values of the first centrifugal speed, the second centrifugal speed, the third centrifugal speed and the fourth centrifugal speed increase successively. The specific speed values can be set according to the actual application scenario and are not limited here, so as to realize the automatic flow of liquid in one chamber into the next chamber in sequence.
[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG5 , FIG5 is a schematic flow chart of a cell processing method provided by an embodiment, which is applied to a centrifugal system as in the above-mentioned embodiment. The cell processing method comprises:
[0092] Step 501, injecting the sample liquid to be detected from the input channel into the first mixing and resuspension chamber for pretreatment to obtain the pretreated sample liquid to be detected; under the action of the first centrifugal speed, injecting the first reagent through the first channel into the first mixing and resuspension chamber; under the action of the first mixing centrifugal speed, the first reagent and the pretreated sample liquid to be detected are mixed and centrifuged to obtain a first mixed liquid; when the centrifugal speed of the centrifugal system matches the preset speed threshold, activating the fourth channel, sucking the waste liquid of the first mixed liquid into the first waste liquid chamber through the fourth channel, and collecting the first cell precipitate of the first mixed liquid into the second mixing and resuspension chamber.
[0093] Step 502: Under the action of the second centrifugal speed, the second reagent is injected into the second mixing and resuspension chamber, and the first cell pellet and the second reagent are mixed and centrifuged under the action of the second mixing centrifugal speed to obtain a second mixed liquid; when the centrifugal speed of the centrifugal system reaches a fourth centrifugal speed, the second mixed liquid is injected into the collecting chamber through the fifth channel, the second cell pellet of the second mixed liquid is collected through the collecting chamber, and the second waste liquid of the second mixed liquid is collected through the waste liquid chamber.
[0094] The preset speed threshold may be 0, and when the centrifugal speed drops to 0, it may match the preset speed threshold.
[0095] In one example, the cell processing method is applied to a centrifugal system as shown in FIG3 , and a urine sample is used as a sample to be tested. The specific processing flow is as follows:
[0096] (1) 30 ml of urine sample was injected into the first mixing and resuspension chamber, 1.5 ml of red blood cell lysis solution was injected into the first sample chamber, 0.1 ml of NaHCO3 was injected into the first sub-sample chamber, and 1 ml of PBS was injected into the second sub-sample chamber.
[0097] (2) Centrifuge structure: Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 10 min.

[0111] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG6 , FIG6 is a schematic flow chart of a cell processing method provided by an embodiment, and the cell processing method further includes:
[0112] Step 601: rinse the second cell precipitate with a cell buffer to obtain a cell suspension of a sample solution to be detected.
[0113] Wherein, the cell buffer can be PBS buffer.
[0114] Specifically, the second cell pellet was washed away with PBS. The collected cell suspension was concentrated to 1*10 7 cell / ml, and pipette 3 μl of cell suspension onto a glass slide for the next step of imaging.
[0115] Step 602: Use one or more Raman shifts to perform coherent Raman scattering imaging on the cell suspension to obtain a coherent Raman scattering image corresponding to each Raman shift.
[0116] Specifically, the present embodiment may use a coherent Raman scattering imaging system to detect the cells to be detected, as shown in FIG7 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a coherent Raman scattering imaging system, using a first excitation light and a second excitation light to irradiate the urine exfoliated cell specimen; in response to the first excitation light and the second excitation light irradiating the urine exfoliated cell specimen, receiving reflected light having at least one Raman shift characteristic peak from the urine exfoliated cell specimen (cell suspension) to obtain the coherent Raman scattering image of the urine exfoliated cell specimen. The first excitation light and the second excitation light each have a predetermined frequency; the first excitation light and the second excitation light are both pulsed lasers; the first excitation light and the second excitation light are both pulsed lasers with a certain frequency difference, and the frequency difference may be 2800~3100cm -1 , repetition frequency is 10~300MHz, and pulse width is 10fs~20ps.
[0117] Specifically, the coherent Raman scattering imaging system in this embodiment is a stimulated Raman scattering imaging system, which collects stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) signals, wherein the SRS signals include stimulated Raman gain signals and stimulated Raman loss signals. In addition to the stimulated Raman scattering imaging system, the coherent Raman scattering imaging system also includes a coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) imaging system. In the imaging system, the common characteristics of CARS and SRS are: 1. Both require two beams of excitation light with a certain frequency difference to excite the sample to generate a coherent Raman scattering signal. 2. Both require an optical path device composed of components such as a reflector, a dichroic mirror, and a scanning galvanometer, so that the two beams of excitation light overlap in space and time, and realize scanning imaging of the sample. However, for SRS signal acquisition, the signal light is collected by a device such as a photodetector, and the excitation light needs to be modulated and the collected signal needs to be demodulated to realize the collection of stimulated Raman loss or stimulated Raman gain signals. The excitation light can be modulated by using an optoelectronic modulator, and the signal can be demodulated by using a lock-in amplifier. The coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering signal can be collected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and converted into an electrical signal. At the same time, polarization detection, pump and Stokes field time delay detection, and backward detection CARS can be used to suppress the non-resonant background signal in the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering signal.
[0118] Step 603: Use the image segmentation network model to perform single-cell image segmentation processing on the coherent Raman scattering image to obtain coherent Raman scattering images of multiple single cells.
[0119] Among them, the image segmentation network model can be a comprehensive neural network segmentation model of deep supervision and transfer learning. The neural network segmentation model of deep supervision + transfer learning mainly has the following two features: 1. Pre-trained single-cell segmentation model. The currently public pre-trained models mainly include Cellpose (cell segmentation algorithm), Stardist (an open source computer vision library) and DeepCell (deep cell), etc. 2. Deep supervision mechanism, adding additional network branches between certain intermediate hidden layers in the pre-trained model. The network branches can introduce additional supervision information, which can help the model better learn the feature representation of the input data and improve the performance and generalization ability of the model.
[0120] Specifically, a neural network segmentation model of deep supervision + transfer learning is used to perform single cell image segmentation on the coherent Raman scattering image under the at least one Raman shift to obtain coherent Raman scattering images of multiple single cells. For example, a Raman shift of 2930 cm-1 The SRS images were used for single cell segmentation, and the pre-trained Cellpose + deep supervision segmentation method was used to segment urine exfoliated cells. Compared with using only the Cellpose model, this segmentation method combined with deep supervision can significantly improve the segmentation effect of urine exfoliated cells.
[0121] As shown in FIG8 , FIG8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an image segmentation network model, in which the Cellpose model and the deep supervision model are combined. The deep supervision network branch combines part of the feature map of the output of the intermediate hidden layer of the Cellpose model in the figure with the output of the Cellpose model as the final output, so as to supervise the learning of the Cellpose output and the output of the intermediate hidden layer. Each intermediate hidden layer of the Cellpose model is composed of two residual blocks, and each residual block is composed of two convolutions with a convolution kernel size of 3×3. Among them, the Cellpose model includes an encoder and a decoder, wherein the encoder includes a first downsampling layer, a second downsampling layer, a third downsampling layer and a fourth downsampling layer; the decoder includes a first upsampling layer, a second upsampling layer, a third upsampling layer and a fourth upsampling layer. The feature map is encoded in the upsampling layer and the downsampling layer to obtain the corresponding feature map. The downsampling layer is connected to the corresponding upsampling layer through an attention mechanism, so that the feature map of the downsampling layer is sent to the corresponding upsampling layer. For example, the output feature map of the first downsampling layer can be sent to the fourth sampling layer through the attention mechanism, and so on. The deep supervision model includes the first convolutional layer, the second convolutional layer and the third convolutional layer; the first convolutional layer receives the output result of the second upsampling layer and performs convolution processing on the output result, and the output result after convolution processing is input to the third convolutional layer; the second convolutional layer receives the output result of the third upsampling layer and performs convolution processing to obtain the output result, and the output result is input to the third convolutional layer. In the third convolutional layer, the output result of the Cellpose model, the output result of the first convolutional layer and the output result of the second convolutional layer are combined to obtain the coherent Raman scattering images of multiple single cells. Specifically, the output result of each layer of the decoder calculates the loss with the manually annotated mask, and the loss is optimized through back propagation. The model parameters can be optimized, and the speed of model fitting can be further improved.
[0122] As shown in Figure 9, Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of a coherent Raman scattering image of a single cell provided in one embodiment. The top three figures in Figure 9 are coherent Raman scattering images of a single cell obtained using only the Cellpose model; the bottom three figures in Figure 9 are coherent Raman scattering images of a single cell obtained using the Cellpose + deep supervision network model.
[0123] In one example, in a urine exfoliated cell specimen, the shapes and sizes of different cells vary greatly. Neither the traditional watershed segmentation algorithm nor the segmentation method using a neural network based on transfer learning can achieve an ideal segmentation effect. To this end, in this embodiment, on the basis of a neural network segmentation model based on transfer learning, a deep supervision mechanism is introduced, and a network branch is added to some intermediate hidden layers of the deep neural network to supervise the backbone network, which is beneficial to improving the performance and generalization ability of the model. This method can not only effectively segment small and round cells, but also perform good segmentation on cells with more peculiar shapes (irregular shapes, small roundness).
[0124] In urine exfoliated cell specimens, the shapes and sizes of different cells vary greatly. Neither the traditional watershed segmentation algorithm nor the segmentation method based on the transfer learning neural network can achieve an ideal segmentation effect. To this end, this embodiment introduces a deep supervision mechanism based on the transfer learning-based neural network segmentation model, and adds a network branch to some intermediate hidden layers of the deep neural network to supervise the backbone network, which is conducive to improving the performance and generalization ability of the model.
[0125] Step 604: Using the feature extraction model, single-cell feature extraction is performed on the coherent Raman scattering image of each single cell in the coherent Raman scattering images of multiple single cells to obtain a single-cell feature map corresponding to the coherent Raman scattering image of each single cell.
[0126] Among them, the feature extraction model includes but is not limited to threshold segmentation algorithm, spot detection algorithm, deep neural network algorithm, etc. The single cell feature map includes cell morphological characteristics and cell metabolic characteristics; cell morphological characteristics include but are not limited to one or more of cell area, cell eccentricity, cell fitting circle diameter, cell major axis length, cell minor axis length, cell circumference, cell real area / fitted circle area, cell nuclear area, cytoplasm area, and cell nuclear-cytoplasm ratio; cell metabolic characteristics include but are not limited to one or more of cell lipid droplet number, cell lipid droplet area, lipid droplet to cell area ratio, distance from lipid droplet to cell center, average distance from lipid droplet to cell center of gravity, and cell lipid droplet grayscale. Morphological characteristics are mainly extracted by binary images obtained by single cell segmentation, while metabolic characteristics need to be extracted using coherent Raman scattering images.
[0127] Specifically, single cell feature extraction is performed on the coherent Raman scattering image of each single cell in the coherent Raman scattering images of the multiple single cells to obtain a single cell image feature map corresponding to the coherent Raman scattering image of the single cell. In order to extract the lipid droplet features, lipid droplet segmentation is performed on the coherent Raman scattering image of each single cell in the coherent Raman scattering images of the multiple single cells to obtain a coherent Raman scattering image of lipid droplets in each single cell region in the coherent Raman scattering image of the single cell. Algorithms such as threshold segmentation and spot detection methods can be used for lipid droplet segmentation, and deep learning models such as YOLO can also be used for lipid droplet segmentation.
[0128] As shown in FIG10 , FIG10 is a schematic diagram of cell processing in one embodiment. Specifically, based on the Raman shift of 2930 cm -1 The SRS image is used for single cell segmentation (the single cell segmentation model is the Cellpose+ deep supervision model) to obtain a binary image of the single cell. The morphological features of each cell are extracted based on the binary image of the single cell, such as cell area, eccentricity, cell perimeter, etc. Based on the binary image of the single cell, the Raman shift of 2850cm -1 and Raman shift 2930cm -1 The SRS images at the locations are used to extract the metabolic characteristics of single cells, such as the number of lipid droplets, lipid droplet area, lipid droplet area ratio, etc. The specific methods are as follows: 1. Based on the binary image of a single cell, the Raman shift of the corresponding single cell is 2850 cm -1 and Raman shift 2930cm -1 2. Based on the Raman shift of the single cell at 2850 cm -1 and Raman shift 2930 cm -1 The SRS images at the positions are used to calculate the cell images of the lipid channel and the cell images of the protein channel by using matrix operations, as shown in FIG11 . FIG11 is a schematic diagram of signal intensity under different Raman shifts in one embodiment, and the solid line in the figure represents the Raman shift of 2850 cm -1 Signal image, the dotted line in the figure represents the Raman shift of 2930cm -1 3. Based on the cell image of the lipid channel and the cell image of the protein channel, metabolic characteristics such as the cell lipid / protein content ratio, the protein signal intensity in the cytoplasm region, and the lipid signal intensity in the cytoplasm region can be extracted. In particular, in the embodiment of the present invention, based on the Raman shift of 2850cm -1 The YOLOv5 model is used to segment lipid droplets in the SRS image.
[0129] Exemplarily, the expression of matrix operation can be:
[0130]
[0131] Among them, P1 represents the lipid channel signal, P2 represents the protein channel signal, and S1 represents the 2850cm -1 The signal of S2 is 2930cm -1 signal, A1, A2, S1, and S2 represent different coefficients respectively.
[0132] Step 605: Combine the single-cell feature maps according to the target object to obtain a single-cell feature map group corresponding to the target object.
[0133] Among them, the target object is the person to be tested.
[0134] Specifically, the single cell image feature maps from the same target object are combined to obtain the image feature map of the target object. The image feature map of the target object is input into a pre-trained machine learning classifier to determine whether the target object has cancer.
[0135] Step 606: Use a preset classification model to perform feature analysis on the single-cell feature map group to obtain the abnormal probability of the target object.
[0136] Among them, the preset classification models include but are not limited to one or more of support vector machine classifiers, linear discriminant classifiers, K-neighbor classifiers, logistic regression classifiers, random forest decision tree classifiers, gradient boosting classifiers, virtual neural network classifiers, deep learning convolutional neural network classifiers, contrastive learning classifiers, and multiple instance learning classifiers.
[0137] Specifically, the principal component analysis algorithm is used to reduce the dimension of the image feature map of the target object to obtain 10 principal components, namely PC1 to PC10. The 10 principal components are input into the distributed gradient boosting library (eXtreme Gradient Boosting, XGboost) classifier based on multi-instance learning for classification to determine whether the target object has cancer.
[0138] Step 607: Determine the abnormal situation of the target object based on the abnormal probability and the preset abnormal probability threshold.
[0139] Specifically, this embodiment can use leave-one-out cross-validation to obtain a preset abnormality probability threshold. For example, 80 samples can be designed. Specifically, among all the data, each time the model is trained, a group of data will be left as a test set, and the remaining data will be used as a training set. Then each piece of data will be used as a test set, and the performance of the model will be evaluated according to the results of each test set to obtain the preset abnormality probability threshold.
[0140] Specifically, when the abnormal probability is greater than the preset abnormal probability threshold, the target object is determined to be abnormal. When the abnormal probability is less than the preset abnormal probability threshold, the target object is normal. The sensitivity of the case classification method is 88.46%, the specificity is 88.88%, the accuracy is 86.67%, and the area under the curve (AUC) is 0.955.
[0141] In an exemplary embodiment, coherent Raman scattering imaging is performed on the cell suspension using one or more Raman shifts to obtain a coherent Raman scattering image corresponding to each Raman shift, including:
[0142] One or more groups of excitation lights are respectively input into the coherent Raman scattering imaging system; for each group of excitation lights, the first excitation light and the second excitation light are collinearly processed by the optical path module to obtain a combined optical path, and the combined optical path is used to scan the cell suspension to obtain a coherent Raman scattering signal; the coherent Raman scattering signal is processed by the signal acquisition module to obtain a coherent Raman scattering image.
[0143] The Raman shift of each group of excitation light is different, and each group of excitation light includes a first excitation light and a second excitation light; the first excitation light can be a pump light, and the second excitation light can be a Stokes light, and the Raman shift is determined by the frequency difference between the first excitation light and the second excitation light. The coherent Raman scattering imaging system includes at least: an optical path module and a signal acquisition module; the optical path module includes at least a lens, a dichroic mirror, a two-dimensional galvanometer assembly, and an objective lens.
[0144] Specifically, as shown in FIG7 , first, a picosecond laser with a high repetition rate is used to emit a first excitation light and a second excitation light, wherein the first excitation light includes a pump light (the dotted line portion in FIG7 ), and the second excitation light includes a Stokes light (the thick solid line portion in FIG7 ); the wavelength of the emitted pump light can be tuned within the range of 700-960 nm (in this embodiment, the wavelength is 796.8 nm during imaging, corresponding to the Raman shift characteristic peak of 2850 cm -1), the wavelength of Stokes light is fixed at 1031nm. Then, the first excitation light and the second excitation light are respectively emitted into the dichroic mirror through the lens and the reflector, so that the pump light and the Stokes light overlap in space and time to obtain a combined light path. The combined light path is emitted into the objective lens through the scanning two-dimensional galvanometer assembly. Finally, the combined light beam is focused on the cell suspension (urine exfoliated cell specimen) through the objective lens, and the specific molecular resonance in the cell suspension is induced to produce stimulated Raman loss and gain signals, and then the coherent Raman scattering signal is obtained. The coherent Raman scattering signal is collected by another water immersion objective (condenser) of the same model. The signal acquisition module converts the coherent Raman scattering signal into an electrical signal, and stores it in the computer device in the signal acquisition module as a coherent Raman scattering image. For example, according to different collected signals, for SRS signals, an optoelectronic modulator or the like can be used to modulate the SRS signals, and a phase-locked amplifier or the like can be used to demodulate the signals to obtain SRS images; for CARS signals, a photomultiplier tube (PMT) can be used to collect and convert them into electrical signals, and polarization detection, pump and Stokes field time delay detection, backward detection CARS and other methods can be used to suppress non-resonant background signals in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering signals. It should be understood that the signal acquisition module can be adjusted accordingly according to different signals, and the signal acquisition module is not specifically limited here.
[0145] In an exemplary embodiment, a preset classification model is used to perform feature analysis on the single cell feature map group to obtain the abnormal probability of the target object, including:
[0146] The single-cell feature map group is subjected to dimensionality reduction processing to obtain the single-cell feature map group after dimensionality reduction processing, and the single-cell feature map group after dimensionality reduction processing is input into a preset classification model to obtain the abnormal probability of the target object.
[0147] Alternatively, clustering is performed on the single-cell feature map group to obtain a clustered single-cell feature map group, and the clustered single-cell feature map group is input into a preset classification model to obtain an outlier value corresponding to the target.
[0148] Alternatively, the single-cell feature map group is subjected to dimensionality reduction and clustering processing to obtain a processed single-cell feature map group, and the processed single-cell feature map group is input into a preset classification model to obtain an outlier value corresponding to the target.
[0149] Among them, the dimensionality reduction algorithms include but are not limited to principal component analysis algorithm, linear discriminant analysis algorithm, multidimensional scaling algorithm, isometric mapping algorithm, local linear embedding algorithm, Laplace eigenmapping algorithm, local preservation projection algorithm, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) algorithm. Clustering algorithms include but are not limited to k-means clustering algorithm, hierarchical clustering algorithm, self-organizing graph clustering algorithm, fuzzy clustering algorithm, Gaussian mixture model clustering algorithm, and expectation maximization algorithm.
[0150] Specifically, before inputting the image feature map of the target object into a pre-trained machine learning classifier, the image feature map of the target object may be subjected to dimensionality reduction to remove noise or redundant information in the image feature map of the target object.
[0151] Specifically, before inputting the image feature map of the target object into a pre-trained machine learning classifier, a cluster analysis can also be performed on the image feature map of the target object to obtain the number of different types of cells in the target object and identify cell populations that are important for determining whether the target object has cancer.
