[PMID: 36950566 PMCID: PMC10025115 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e14325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a highly heterogeneous disorder that is difficult to diagnose. Therefore, reliable biomarkers are needed. We implemented a method constructing a regional radiomics similarity network (R2SN) based on the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF). We classified patients with PD and healthy individuals by using a machine learning approach in accordance with the R2SN connectome. The ALFF-based R2SN exhibited great reproducibility with different brain atlases and datasets. Great classification performances were achieved both in primary (AUC = 0.85 ± 0.02 and accuracy = 0.81 ± 0.03) and independent external validation (AUC = 0.77 and accuracy = 0.70) datasets. The discriminative R2SN edges correlated with the clinical evaluations of patients with PD. The nodes of discriminative R2SN edges were primarily located in the default mode, sensorimotor, executive control, visual and frontoparietal network, cerebellum and striatum. These findings demonstrate that ALFF-based R2SN is a robust potential neuroimaging biomarker for PD and could provide new insights into connectome reorganization in PD.

Cereb Cortex 2023; 33:6282-6290. [PMID: 36627247 DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhac503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Abnormalities in functional connectivity networks are associated with sensorimotor networks in Parkinson's disease (PD) based on group-level mapping studies, but these results are controversial. Using individual-level cortical segmentation to construct individual brain atlases can supplement the individual information covered by group-level cortical segmentation. Functional connectivity analyses at the individual level are helpful for obtaining clinically useful markers and predicting treatment response. Based on the functional connectivity of individualized regions of interest, a support vector regression model was trained to estimate the severity of motor symptoms for each subject, and a correlation analysis between the estimated scores and clinical symptom scores was performed. Forty-six PD patients aged 50-75 years were included from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative database, and 63 PD patients were included from the Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital database. Only patients below Hoehn and Yahr stage III were included. The analysis showed that the severity of motor symptoms could be estimated by the individualized functional connectivity between the visual network and sensorimotor network in early-stage disease. The results reveal individual-level connectivity biomarkers related to motor symptoms and emphasize the importance of individual differences in the prediction of the treatment response of PD.

Machine Learning for Detecting Parkinson’s Disease by Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Multicenter Radiomics Analysis. Front Aging Neurosci 2022; 14:806828. [PMID: 35309885 PMCID: PMC8928361 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.806828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common progressive degenerative diseases, and its diagnosis is challenging on clinical grounds. Clinically, effective and quantifiable biomarkers to detect PD are urgently needed. In our study, we analyzed data from two centers, the primary set was used to train the model, and the independent external validation set was used to validate our model. We applied amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF)-based radiomics method to extract radiomics features (including first- and high-order features). Subsequently, t-test and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were harnessed for feature selection and data dimensionality reduction, and grid search method and nested 10-fold cross-validation were applied to determine the optimal hyper-parameter λ of LASSO and evaluate the performance of the model, in which a support vector machine was used to construct the classification model to classify patients with PD and healthy controls (HCs). We found that our model achieved good performance [accuracy = 81.45% and area under the curve (AUC) = 0.850] in the primary set and good generalization in the external validation set (accuracy = 67.44% and AUC = 0.667). Most of the discriminative features were high-order radiomics features, and the identified brain regions were mainly located in the sensorimotor network and lateral parietal cortex. Our study indicated that our proposed method can effectively classify patients with PD and HCs, ALFF-based radiomics features that might be potential biomarkers of PD, and provided further support for the pathological mechanism of PD, that is, PD may be related to abnormal brain activity in the sensorimotor network and lateral parietal cortex.
