Abstract
The molecule 2-nonenal is renowned as the origin of unpleasant human aging-related body odor that can potentially indicate age-related metabolic changes. Most 2-nonenal measurements rely on chromatographic analytical systems, which pose challenges in terms of daily usage and the ability to track changes in concentration over time. In this study, we have developed liquid- and gas-phase biosensors (bio-sniffers) with the aim of enabling facile and continuous measurement of trans-2-nonenal vapor. Initially, we compared two types of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) [NAD(P)]-dependent enzymes that have the catalytic ability of trans-2-nonenal: aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and enone reductase 1 (ER1). The developed sensor quantified the trans-2-nonanal concentration by measuring fluorescence (excitation: 340 nm, emission: 490 nm) emitted from NAD(P)H that was generated or consumed by ALDH or ER1. The ALDH biosensor reacted to a variety of aldehydes including trans-2-nonenal, whereas the ER1 biosensor showed high selectivity. In contrast, the ALDH bio-sniffer showed quantitative characteristics for trans-2-nonenal vapor at a concentration range of 0.4-7.5 ppm (with a theoretical limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.23 and 0.26 ppm, respectively), including a reported concentration (0.85-4.35 ppm), whereas the ER1 bio-sniffer detected only 0.4 and 0.8 ppm. Based on these findings, headspace gas of skin-wiped alcohol-absorbed cotton collected from study participants in their 20s and 50s was measured by the ALDH bio-sniffer. Consequently, age-related differences in signals were observed, suggesting the potential for measuring trans-2-nonenal vapor.

Deep Learning Denoising Improves and Homogenizes Patient [ 18F]FDG PET Image Quality in Digital PET/CT. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13091626. [PMID: 37175017 PMCID: PMC10177812 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13091626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Given the constant pressure to increase patient throughput while respecting radiation protection, global body PET image quality (IQ) is not satisfactory in all patients. We first studied the association between IQ and other variables, in particular body habitus, on a digital PET/CT. Second, to improve and homogenize IQ, we evaluated a deep learning PET denoising solution (Subtle PETTM) using convolutional neural networks. We analysed retrospectively in 113 patients visual IQ (by a 5-point Likert score in two readers) and semi-quantitative IQ (by the coefficient of variation in the liver, CVliv) as well as lesion detection and quantification in native and denoised PET. In native PET, visual and semi-quantitative IQ were lower in patients with larger body habitus (p < 0.0001 for both) and in men vs. women (p ≤ 0.03 for CVliv). After PET denoising, visual IQ scores increased and became more homogeneous between patients (4.8 ± 0.3 in denoised vs. 3.6 ± 0.6 in native PET; p < 0.0001). CVliv were lower in denoised PET than in native PET, 6.9 ± 0.9% vs. 12.2 ± 1.6%; p < 0.0001. The slope calculated by linear regression of CVliv according to weight was significantly lower in denoised than in native PET (p = 0.0002), demonstrating more uniform CVliv. Lesion concordance rate between both PET series was 369/371 (99.5%), with two lesions exclusively detected in native PET. SUVmax and SUVpeak of up to the five most intense native PET lesions per patient were lower in denoised PET (p < 0.001), with an average relative bias of -7.7% and -2.8%, respectively. DL-based PET denoising by Subtle PETTM allowed [18F]FDG PET global image quality to be improved and homogenized, while maintaining satisfactory lesion detection and quantification. DL-based denoising may render body habitus adaptive PET protocols unnecessary, and pave the way for the improvement and homogenization of PET modalities.
