Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of marker detection, and particularly relates to a multi-channel Raman spectrum analysis system for tumor marker detection. BACKGROUND
[0002] Tumor markers are substances synthesized and released by tumor cells or generated by the body in response to tumor cells during the occurrence and growth of tumors, covering proteins, enzymes, gene products and metabolites, etc. The detection of tumor markers is of key significance for the early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation of malignant tumors.
[0003] At present, malignant tumors have become the primary cause of death among Chinese residents, so it is of extremely important clinical value to develop a method capable of realizing sensitive, accurate and specific detection of tumor markers, while meeting the needs of simplicity, rapidity and non-invasive diagnosis. However, existing tumor marker detection methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescence method, electrochemical method and mass spectrometry, although widely used in clinical practice, have a series of shortcomings, such as insufficient sensitivity, complex operation, long detection period, etc., and most of these methods are invasive detection, which is not conducive to the early screening of low-concentration tumor markers.
[0004] Raman spectrum technology, including surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), is a powerful label-free tool that can provide excellent dynamic performance and high spatial resolution imaging in the fields of biology and medicine. Although Raman spectrum technology has these advantages, due to the weakness of spontaneous Raman signal, slow data acquisition speed and high equipment cost, these factors limit its wide application in clinical practice.
[0005] Protein molecules are an important class of tumor markers, however, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) performs poorly in directly detecting high molecular weight biomolecules, with complex biological macromolecule spectral bands overlapping and limited selectivity for proteins.

[0007] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a calibration-reconstruction algorithm specially applicable to Raman spectrum, which can further improve the accuracy and specificity of detection and realize sensitive detection of trace tumor markers. SUMMARY

[0098] Example 2
[0099] This embodiment is a multi-channel Raman spectrum analysis method for tumor marker detection based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1, specifically comprising the following steps:
[0100] S1. Hardware pretreatment
[0101] Calibrate the spectral acquisition device with multiple independent optical channels, each of which is equipped with a laser source, a spectrometer, a detector, and a TE refrigeration module.
[0102] The spectral acquisition device was calibrated and adjusted using the mercury lamp method. Multiple measurements confirmed that the spectral acquisition device of this invention has a spectral coverage range of 785nm-1050nm and a resolution of 6.45cm. -1 (Full width at half maximum at 0.54 nm and 912 nm), improving resolution while ensuring that Raman spectroscopy can fully reflect tumor marker concentration information. Simultaneously, the system's signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 6000:1, ensuring that the acquired spectral signals can serve as a reliable information basis for quantitative analysis of tumor markers, and wavenumber accuracy is corrected using a silicon wafer as a standard.
[0103] S2. Software Preprocessing
[0104] A Raman spectroscopy database of tissue slices containing tumor markers and a recognition model based on a deep learning algorithm were constructed, and the recognition model was trained using the database.
[0105] A Raman spectral database containing tumor markers was constructed, the spectral data matrix was obtained, and after data normalization, the eigenvectors of the Raman spectra were calculated using the following formula:
[0106] ;
[0107] Calculate the eigenvectors of the Raman spectrum A recognition model is built based on deep learning algorithms;
[0108] in, Representing the Eigenvectors of Raman spectra Representing the The first group of Raman spectra Raman signal intensity at each data point Representing the The average signal intensity of the group of Raman spectra, The total number of sampling points representing the Raman spectrum. This represents the regularization parameter to prevent the denominator from approaching zero;
[0109] To construct a Raman spectral database of tissue sections containing tumor markers, Raman spectral data of target tissue sections were first collected using a high-sensitivity Raman spectrometer under standardized experimental conditions, such as a laser wavelength of 785 nm, a laser power of 100 mW, and an integration time of 10 seconds. The raw spectral data may contain baseline drift and noise; therefore, data preprocessing was necessary. Baseline correction was performed using polynomial fitting, with a third-order polynomial used for baseline fitting. The fitted baseline was then subtracted from the raw spectrum. Finally, a moving average filtering method was applied to remove high-frequency confounding markers. To eliminate high-frequency noise, data points with a window size of 5 were selected for smoothing. After preprocessing, the spectral data were normalized using maximum value normalization, dividing the intensity value of each spectrum by its maximum value to ensure that the intensity range of all spectra is between 0 and 1. The processed spectral data was stored in a database, with each spectral data entry containing relevant sample information such as sample number, collection date, and experimental conditions. The database was designed using a relational database structure, with tables used to store the spectral data and related information, ensuring data retrieval and manageability. Finally, a recognition model was built based on a deep learning algorithm.
[0110] In the above formula, Indicates the first Eigenvectors of Raman spectra Indicates the first The first group of Raman spectra Raman signal intensity at each data point Indicates the first The average signal intensity of the group of Raman spectra, This represents the total number of sampling points in the Raman spectrum. This represents the regularization parameter to prevent the denominator from approaching zero.
[0111] To calculate these parameters, firstly, the first... Data points of a group of Raman spectra, assuming This indicates that each spectrum contains 1000 data points. Next, the calculation of the... Average signal intensity of the group of Raman spectra The calculation formula is as follows:
[0112] ;
[0113] Assume the first Group of spectral data point signal intensity The sum is 5000, then Then, calculate the sum of the absolute values of the differences between each data point and the mean, i.e. Assuming the calculated result is 800, then calculate the sum of squares of the differences between each data point and the mean, i.e. , assuming the calculation result is 1200, the regularization parameter is selected, these values are substituted into the formula to obtain:
[0114] ;
[0115] Therefore, the eigenvector of the first group of Raman spectra is about 23.09.
[0116] The innovation of the formula is that the sum of the absolute values of the differences between the Raman spectrum data points and the mean value, and the square root of the sum of the squares of these differences, are calculated, and a regularization parameter is introduced, which comprehensively considers the deviation degree and fluctuation amplitude of the spectrum signal, generates an eigenvector that reflects both the overall deviation degree of the spectrum signal and the severity of the signal fluctuation, which helps to more comprehensively characterize the features of the Raman spectrum.
[0117] The calculated eigenvector is compared with the preset reference value, assuming the reference value is 20, since is greater than the reference value, it indicates that the signal deviation degree and fluctuation amplitude of the Raman spectrum are large, which may correspond to the high expression of tumor markers or other significant characteristics in the sample.
[0118] The electrical signal is input to the identification model, and the formula is used:
[0119] ;
[0120] The specific signal feature is calculated, the specific signal feature is extracted, and the tumor marker is identified according to the specific signal feature;
[0121] wherein, represents the specific signal feature value, represents the th enhanced processed electrical signal data value, represents the mean value of the enhanced processed electrical signal data, represents the th background signal data value, represents the mean value of the background signal data, represents the total number of enhanced processed electrical signal data, represents the total number of background signal data, represents the index of the enhanced processed electrical signal data, represents the index of the background signal data.
[0122] The electrical signal is input to the identification model, and the electrical signal refers to a time-varying signal detected by a sensor, the value of which changes continuously over time. In the specific implementation process, first, the original electrical signal data is obtained through a high-precision signal acquisition device, which needs to have microvolt-level precision to capture weak bioelectrical signals. Then, the electrical signal data is preprocessed, which includes filtering and denoising. In the filtering process, a band-pass filtering method is used, with a low-frequency cutoff frequency of 0.5 Hz and a high-frequency cutoff frequency of 100 Hz, to ensure that noise in non-target frequency bands is filtered out. In the denoising process, a neighborhood mean denoising method is used, which calculates the mean of each of the five points before and after the current signal point, and replaces the original value of the current point with the mean, so that the signal curve is smoother, thereby reducing random noise interference. After filtering and denoising, the electrical signal is subjected to amplitude normalization processing. The normalization method is linear normalization, that is, the formula: ;
[0123] wherein, represents the normalized electrical signal value, is the original electrical signal value, and represent the minimum and maximum signal values in the current sampling time window, respectively. This normalization operation ensures that electrical signals of different intensities can be analyzed within a unified numerical range. Subsequently, the normalized electrical signal is input to the identification model, which is a neural network structure composed of a feature extraction unit and a classification unit. The feature extraction unit uses a time-frequency analysis method to extract features from the electrical signal. Specifically, first, the energy value of the electrical signal in a short time window is calculated using the formula:
[0124] ;
[0125] wherein, represents the signal energy value in the short time window, is the window start time, is the window length. This energy feature can effectively reflect the local changes of the electrical signal. Subsequently, the calculated energy feature value is input to the classification unit, which uses multiple thresholds for judgment. Set the thresholds , and . When , it is judged to be a background noise signal, when , it is judged to be a normal physiological signal, and when , it is judged to be a suspicious feature signal, and further analysis is performed to determine whether it has tumor marker characteristics. Finally, specific signal features are obtained, and tumor markers are identified based on the specific signal features.
[0126] ;
[0127] wherein, representing the specific signal characteristic value;
[0128] representing the first enhanced processed electric signal data value, which is derived from the normalized processed electric signal;
[0129] representing the enhanced processed electric signal data mean value, whose calculation formula is as follows:
[0130] ;
[0131] wherein representing the total number of the enhanced processed electric signal data;
[0132] representing the first background signal data value, which is derived from the original background signal without enhancement processing;
[0133] representing the background signal data mean value, whose calculation formula is as follows:
[0134] ;
[0135] wherein representing the total number of the background signal data.

[0154] Calculate the final result:
[0155] ;
[0156] This result indicates the current signal eigenvalues. A high level may indicate tumor marker characteristics.
[0157] Regarding the training of the aforementioned recognition model:
[0158] Its deep learning algorithm adopts the classic convolutional neural network model, representing each spectral sample as a one-dimensional array. In the first convolutional layer, two one-dimensional convolutional kernels with a kernel size of 2 are used. Then, Flatten is used to flatten the features extracted from the upper layer. Finally, a fully connected layer with a unit number of 2 is used to predict the output through the softmax activation function.
[0159] This invention uses stochastic gradient descent to train the network. The network input size is m*475*2, where m is the number of samples, 475 is the spectral length of the region of interest, the number of input channels is 2, and the network output is one-hot data.
[0160] After training is completed, the model is validated using a validation set, and the convolutional neural network model with the smallest loss is selected as the optimal recognition model.
[0161] S3. Use a spectral acquisition device to acquire Raman spectra of the target tissue slices.
[0162] S4. Convert the Raman spectrum into an electrical signal and input it into the recognition model, extract specific signal features, and identify tumor markers based on the specific signal features;
[0163] During the recognition process:
[0164] The training data of the above model retains the first dimension, while all other dimensions are covered. This data is then input into the trained recognition model for prediction, and the prediction accuracy and LOSS value are recorded.
[0165] Then, 1 is changed to 1+1, the above process is repeated, and 1 is selected to be added to the important region sequence so that the accuracy is maximum and the LOSS value is minimum.
[0166] Then, all dimensions appearing in the important region in the input data are reserved, the above process is repeated, and 1 is selected to be added to the important region sequence again so that the accuracy is maximum and the LOSS value is minimum. Iteration is continuously performed until N important points successively added in the important region sequence no longer change the prediction accuracy, for example, N=5, and finally the important region sequence is obtained;
[0167] After obtaining the important region sequence, the discrete data is continuous to obtain the important region of the final Raman spectrum. The density of the points in the important region sequence represents the importance of the region where the point is located. The idea of step-by-step propagation is used to assign weights to each point on the full spectrum. The important points in the important region sequence are taken out in turn, and the point is assigned a weight w. Then the weight is continuously attenuated to the leftmost end and the rightmost end of the whole spectrum step by step from the left and right of the point, that is, the weight of the kth point to the left and right of the point is Wxp k , wherein p is the attenuation rate, for example, p=0.9, and the same applies to each point in the important region sequence. The sequence weight of each point in the full spectrum is added after the important region sequence is traversed, and the final spectrum region sequence weight is obtained.

[0269] S4. A series of pretreatments such as cosmic ray muon noise removal, convolution smoothing filtering, fluorescence background correction, and normalization are performed on the collected Raman spectrum.
[0270] S5. Convert the Raman spectrum into an electrical signal.
[0271] S6. Perform enhancement processing on the electrical signal.
[0272] A specific convolutional neural network Raman signal separation algorithm is proposed for enhancement processing.
[0273] The algorithm expression is R=L*B+N; where R is the input measured spectrum signal, L represents the independent spectral peak signal of the Raman spectrum, B represents the instrument broadening signal and background baseline signal, N represents the measurement noise, and "*" represents convolution operation;
[0274] ; where x represents the Raman shift, c represents the center of the Lorentz function, wL represents the half-height half-width of the Lorentz function, and S represents the full spectrum area of the Lorentz function;
[0275] ; wherein w G represents the half-height half-width of the Gaussian function .
[0276] In the processing of the electric signal enhancement using the above algorithm:
[0277] The Lorentzian spectral peak signal I and its parameter vector β and the instrument broadening signal B and its half-width parameter W separated from the original spectrum G ;
[0278] Set the initial value of the parameter vector β of the Lorentzian spectral peak signal, β = ∅, and the initial value of the number of Raman spectral peaks contained therein k is 0. Set the initial value of the half-width parameter WG of the instrument broadening signal, WG = 5.
[0279] From the above, calculate the initial value of the estimated spectrum:
[0280] Since β = ∅, we have , and the initial value of the residual spectrum is the original spectrum.
[0281] Add a new Raman spectral peak to the Lorentzian spectral peak signal, update the number of Raman spectral peaks, k = k + 1. Set the initial value of the parameter of the newly added spectral peak, as follows: find the maximum value hk of the residual spectrum signal and the wave number ck at which it is located. Then search from both sides of the wave number ck to find the nearest xleft and xright, respectively, such that Y(x left +1) ≥ hk / 2 and Y(x left ) < hk / 2, and Y(x right -1) ≥ hk / 2 and Y(x right ) < hk / 2. Set the initial value of the parameter vector βk, w LK = min{ck-x left , x right -ck}, SK=2w LK h K , βk= (S K , Ck, w LK ). Extend the parameter vector, β = (β 1, β 2,…, β k-1, β k ).
[0282] Optimize β and wG to obtain the estimated spectrum after updating the parameters. According to the original spectrum and the estimated spectrum, calculate the residual spectrum signal r(v). The residual spectrum is calculated as follows:
[0283] r(x) = Y(x) - R(x, β, w G ) for x = x b , x b+1..., x e .
[0284] When the maximum value of the residual spectrum is less than the termination threshold or the number of iterations is greater than or equal to the maximum number of iterations, the Lorentz spectral peak signal L and its parameters, the vector β and the instrument broadening signal B and its half-width parameter are output; otherwise, iteration is continued.
[0285] S7. Constructing a Raman spectrum database of a tissue section containing a tumor marker and an identification model based on a deep learning algorithm; it is known in the art that the Raman spectrum database in the present application can be a Raman spectrum database of a biomarker, a classified Raman spectrum database of all biomarkers of a certain type of cancer, or a hierarchical classified Raman spectrum database of all biomarkers of multiple types of cancer;
[0286] S8. Training the identification model using the database. The database is divided into a training set and a validation set, and the identification model is trained by the training set, and the trained identification model is verified by the validation set, and the verification passes to be a usable identification model;
[0287] Regarding the training of the identification model:
[0288] The deep learning algorithm thereof adopts a classic convolutional neural network model, each spectrum sample is represented as a one-dimensional array, 2 one-dimensional convolution kernels with a kernel size of 2 are used in the first convolution layer, then the features extracted from the upper layer are flattened by Flatten, and finally a fully connected layer with 2 units is used to output the prediction by a softmax activation function.
[0289] The present application uses stochastic gradient descent to train the network. The input size of the network is m*475*2, where m is the number of samples, 475 is the spectral length of the region of interest, the input channel number is 2, and the output of the network is one-hot type data.
[0290] After training, the validation set is verified, and the convolutional neural network model with the smallest loss is used as the optimal identification model.
[0291] S9. Inputting the enhanced electric signal into the identification model, extracting specific signal characteristics of breast cancer biomarkers, and identifying tumor markers (such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs), microRNAs, and specific proteins) according to the specific signal characteristics.
[0292] In the identification process:
[0293] The above model training data is retained in the first dimension, and all other dimensions are covered, and it is input into the trained identification model for prediction, and the prediction identification accuracy and LOSS value are recorded.
[0294] Then, 1 is changed to 1+1, the above process is repeated, and 1 is selected to be added to the important region sequence so as to maximize the accuracy and minimize the LOSS value.
[0295] Then, all dimensions in the input data that appear in the important region are reserved, the above process is repeated, and 1 is selected to be added to the important region sequence so as to maximize the accuracy and minimize the LOSS value. Iteration is continuously performed until N important points that are continuously added to the important region sequence no longer change the prediction accuracy, for example, N=5, and finally, the important region sequence is obtained.
[0296] After the important region sequence is obtained, the discrete data is continuous to obtain the important region of the final Raman spectrum. The density of the points in the important region sequence represents the importance of the region where the point is located. The idea of step-by-step propagation is used to assign weights to each point on the full spectrum. The important points in the important region sequence are taken out in turn, and the point is assigned a weight w. Then the weight is continuously attenuated to the leftmost end and the rightmost end of the whole spectrum from the left and right of the point, that is, the weight of the kth point to the left and right of the point is Wxp k , where p is the attenuation rate, for example, p=0.9, and the same is true in turn. Each point in the important region sequence will assign a weight to the whole spectrum sequence once. After the important region sequence is traversed, the sequence weight of each point in the full spectrum is added to obtain the final spectrum region sequence weight. The above process can ensure that when the important points are adjacent, the weights of these points and adjacent points are high. The finally generated spectrum region weight can be used to accurately identify specific signal characteristics and corresponding tumor markers.
