<h4>Objectives</h4>Radiomics refers to the extraction and analysis of advanced quantitative imaging from medical images to diagnose and/or predict diseases. In the dentistry field, the bone data from mandibular condyles could be computationally analyzed using the voxel information provided by high-resolution CBCT scans to increase the diagnostic power of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) conditions. However, such quantitative information demands innovative computational software, algorithm implement ...[more]

Project description:Deep learning approach has been demonstrated to automatically segment the bilateral mandibular canals from CBCT scans, yet systematic studies of its clinical and technical validation are scarce. To validate the mandibular canal localization accuracy of a deep learning system (DLS) we trained it with 982 CBCT scans and evaluated using 150 scans of five scanners from clinical workflow patients of European and Southeast Asian Institutes, annotated by four radiologists. The interobserver variability was compared to the variability between the DLS and the radiologists. In addition, the generalisation of DLS to CBCT scans from scanners not used in the training data was examined to evaluate its out-of-distribution performance. The DLS had a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) with lower variability to the radiologists with 0.74 mm than the interobserver variability of 0.77 mm and generalised to new devices with 0.63 mm, 0.67 mm and 0.87 mm (p < 0.001). For the radiologists' consensus segmentation, used as a gold standard, the DLS showed a symmetric mean curve distance of 0.39 mm, which was statistically significantly different (p < 0.001) compared to those of the individual radiologists with values of 0.62 mm, 0.55 mm, 0.47 mm, and 0.42 mm. These results show promise towards integration of DLS into clinical workflow to reduce time-consuming and labour-intensive manual tasks in implantology.

Project description:The shape and volume of the condyle is considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of the mandibular deviation. Curvature analysis is informative for objectively assess whether the shape of the condyles matches that of the glenoid fossa. In this study, a three-dimensional (3-D) quantification of bilateral asymmetrical condyles was firstly conducted to identify the specific role of 3-D condylar configuration for mandibular asymmetry.55 adult patients, 26 males (26?±?5 yrs) and 29 females (26?±?5 yrs), diagnosed with mandibular asymmetry were included. The examination of deviation of chin point, deviation of dental midlines, inclination of occlusal plane, and depth of the mandibular occlusal plane were conducted. After the clinical investigation, computed tomography images from the patients were used to reconstruct the 3-D mandibular models. Then the condylar volume, surface size, surface curvature and bone mineral density were evaluated independently for each patient on non-deviated and deviated sides of temporomandibular joint.Both the condylar surface size and volume were significantly larger on deviated side (surface size: 1666.14?±?318.3 mm2, volume: 1981.5?±?418.3 mm3). The anterior slope of the condyle was flatter (0.12?±?0.06) and the posterior slope (0.39?±?0.08) was prominently convex on the deviated side. The corresponding bone mineral density values were 523.01 ±118.1 HU and 549.07 ±120. 6 HU on anterior and posterior slopes.The incongruence presented on the deviated side resulted in a reduction in contact areas and, thus, an increase in contact stresses and changes of bone density. All aforementioned results suggest that the difference existing between deviated and non-deviated condyles correlates with facial asymmetrical development. In mandibular asymmetry patients, the 3-D morphology of condyle on deviated side differ from the non-deviated side, which indicates the association between asymmetrical jaw function and joint remodeling.

Project description:ObjectivesAccurate description of buccal bone adjacent to mandibular anterior teeth is helpful for planning and monitoring periodontal and orthodontic treatment. Low-dose cone beam computed tomography (LD-CBCT) imaging has shown promising results for very small dental structures in animals. This study asserts that LD-CBCT is sufficiently accurate to measure buccal alveolar bone adjacent to human mandibular anterior teeth.Materials and methodsBuccal bone level adjacent to 16 mandibular anterior teeth from four human cadavers was measured radiographically using one high-dose (HD) CBCT protocol and two LD-CBCT protocols. The resulting radiographic measurements of buccal bone height (bl) and thickness (bt) were compared with reference probe and reflected-light microscopy measurements. Measurement medians and Bland-Altman plots were calculated, and a linear mixed model was used to compare raters and imaging modalities.ResultsAll regression coefficients were approximately 0, indicating high interrater, intrarater, and intermodality agreement. No significant differences were found between reference measurements and CBCT protocols. The mean differences for bl measurements were 0.07 mm (rater 1 [r1]) and 0.12 mm (rater 2 [r2]) for HD-CBCT; 0.07 mm (r1) and 0.13 mm (r2) for LD-CBCT-1; and 0.02 mm (r1) and 0.01 mm (r2) for LD-CBCT-2. For bt measurements, mean differences were 0.02 mm (r1) and 0.02 mm (r2) for HD-CBCT; 0.01 mm (r1) and 0.01 mm (r2) for LD-CBCT-1; and 0.00 mm (r1) and 0.01 mm (r2) for LD-CBCT-2.ConclusionsWithin the limitations of the present study, LD-CBCT seems to be a precise method for describing buccal bone and its thickness adjacent to mandibular anterior teeth in this experimental setting.Clinical relevanceFor the first time, this study showed LD-CBCT produces excellent results and is a reliable modality for imaging buccal bone in vitro. If clinical studies confirm these results, LD-CBCT could enable better treatment planning and monitoring at a radiation dose that is far lower than that of conventional HD-CBCT but similar to that of panoramic views.

Project description:Rationale and objectivesA standard lung template could improve population-level analyses for computed tomography (CT) scans of the lung. We develop a fully automated preprocessing pipeline for image analysis of the lungs using updated methodologies and R software that results in the creation of a standard lung template. We apply this pipeline to CT scans from a sarcoidosis population, exploring the influence of registration on radiomic analyses.Materials and methodsUsing 65 high-resolution CT scans from healthy adults, we create a standard lung template by segmenting the left and right lungs, nonlinearly registering lung masks to an initial template mask, and using an unbiased, iterative procedure to converge to a standard lung shape (Dice similarity coefficient ≥0.99). We compare three-dimensional radiomic features between control and sarcoidosis patients, before and after registration to a study-specific lung template.ResultsThe final lung template had a right lung volume of 2967 cm3 and left lung volume of 2623 cm3, with a median HU = -862. Registration significantly affected radiomic features, shifting the HU distribution to the left, decreasing variability, and increasing smoothness (p < 0.0001). The registration improved detective ability of radiomics; for contrast, autocorrelation, energy, and homogeneity, the group effect was significant postregistration (p < 0.05), but was not significant preregistration.ConclusionThe final lung template and software used for its creation are publicly available via the lungct R package to facilitate its use in practice. This study advances lung imaging by developing tools to improve population-level analyses for various lung diseases.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To determine whether mandibular condylar cartilage degradation induced by experimentally abnormal occlusion could be ameliorated via systemic administration of strontium or NBD peptide. METHODS:Six-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were used. From the seventh day after mock operation or unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC) treatment, the control and UAC mice were further respectively pharmacologically treated for 2 weeks or 4 weeks of saline (CON + Saline and UAC + Saline groups), SrCl2 (CON + SrCl2 and UAC + SrCl2 groups) or NBD peptide (CON + NBD peptide and UAC + NBD peptide groups). Changes in condylar cartilage and subchondral bone were assessed 21 and 35 days after mock operation or UAC procedure by histology and micro-CT. Real-time PCR and/or immunohistochemistry (IHC) were performed to evaluate changes in expression levels of col2a1, aggrecan, ADAMTS-5, tnf-?, il-1?, nfkbia, nuclear factor-kappaB phospho-p65 in condylar cartilage, and rankl/rank/opg in both condylar cartilage and subchondral bone. RESULTS:Cartilage degradation with decreased col2a1 and aggrecan expression, and increased ADAMTS-5, tnf-?/il1-?, nfkbia and NF-?B phospho-p65 was observed in UAC + Saline groups. Subchondral bone loss with increased osteoclast numbers and decreased opg/rankl ratio was found in UAC + Saline groups compared to age-match CON + Saline groups. Cartilage degradation and subchondral bone loss were reversed by treatment of SrCl2 or NBD peptide while the same dosage in control mice induced few changes in condylar cartilage and subchondral bone. CONCLUSIONS:The results demonstrate reverse effect of systemic administration of strontium or NBD peptide on UAC-induced condylar cartilage degradation and subchondral bone loss.

Project description:Physicochemical properties of proteins/peptides are often used to separate proteins/peptides from complex biological samples in proteomics research, which is necessary for the further proteins/peptides identification. So, the analyses of these properties are very important for the design of proteomic experiments and the further analyses of identified results. Current available web-based tools are difficult to analyze large-scale datasets. Here we provide a standalone software ProPAS (Protein Properties Analyses Software) to calculate these properties in local computers. ProPAS could be used to calculate several physicochemical parameters of proteins/peptides, including the isoelectric point (pI), hydrophobicity (Hy) and mass weight (MW). Additionally, ProPAS provides the statistic results to get the number distribution along the parameter values. The results could be copied to other software such as Excel to get the distribution chart. The amino acid composition of all the input proteins/peptides could also be calculated from all input sequences. Detail description, updates and download link for ProPAS could be found at the website of http://bioinfo.hupo.org.cn/tools/ProPAS/propas.htm.

Project description:Alveolar bone is the thickened ridge of jaw bone that supports teeth. It is subject to constant occlusal force and pathogens invasion, and is therefore under active bone remodeling and immunomodulation. Alveolar bone holds a distinct niche from long bone considering their different developmental origin and postnatal remodeling pattern. However, a systematic explanation of alveolar bone at single-cell level is still lacking. Here, we construct a single-cell atlas of mouse mandibular alveolar bone through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). A more active immune microenvironment is identified in alveolar bone, with a higher proportion of mature immune cells than in long bone. Among all immune cell populations, the monocyte/macrophage subpopulation most actively interacts with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) subpopulation. Alveolar bone monocytes/macrophages express a higher level of Oncostatin M (Osm) compared to long bone, which promotes osteogenic differentiation and inhibits adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. In summary, our study reveals a unique immune microenvironment of alveolar bone, which may provide a more precise immune-modulatory target for therapeutic treatment of oral diseases.

Project description:Purpose To develop handcrafted radiomics (HCR) and deep learning (DL) based automated diagnostic tools that can differentiate between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-IPF interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) in patients using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans. Material and Methods In this retrospective study, 474 HRCT scans were included (mean age, 64.10 years ± 9.57 [SD]). Five-fold cross-validation was performed on 365 HRCT scans. Furthermore, an external dataset comprising 109 patients was used as a test set. An HCR model, a DL model, and an ensemble of HCR and DL model were developed. A virtual in-silico trial was conducted with two radiologists and one pulmonologist on the same external test set for performance comparison. The performance was compared using DeLong method and McNemar test. Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) plots and Grad-CAM heatmaps were used for the post-hoc interpretability of HCR and DL models, respectively. Results In five-fold cross-validation, the HCR model, DL model, and the ensemble of HCR and DL models achieved accuracies of 76.2 ± 6.8, 77.9 ± 4.6, and 85.2 ± 2.7%, respectively. For the diagnosis of IPF and non-IPF ILDs on the external test set, the HCR, DL, and the ensemble of HCR and DL models achieved accuracies of 76.1, 77.9, and 85.3%, respectively. The ensemble model outperformed the diagnostic performance of clinicians who achieved a mean accuracy of 66.3 ± 6.7% (p < 0.05) during the in-silico trial. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the ensemble model on the test set was 0.917 which was significantly higher than the HCR model (0.817, p = 0.02) and the DL model (0.823, p = 0.005). The agreement between HCR and DL models was 61.4%, and the accuracy and specificity for the predictions when both the models agree were 93 and 97%, respectively. SHAP analysis showed the texture features as the most important features for IPF diagnosis and Grad-CAM showed that the model focused on the clinically relevant part of the image. Conclusion Deep learning and HCR models can complement each other and serve as useful clinical aids for the diagnosis of IPF and non-IPF ILDs.

Project description:Recently, there is increasing report of bone necrosis exceptionally in jaw bone areas after long term administration of anti-resorptive agent, bisphosphonate (BP). It is still unknown that why BP does not result in osteonecrosis but potentiate fracture repair in axial skeleton such as long bones. Many reports had shown that mandibular bone or calvarial bone exhibits lesser resoption than iliac bone graft for maxillofacial bone defect.(Jackson et al 1986, Koole et al 1989),(Crespi et al 2007) These might be attributed to the embryological difference between the two different type of the bone; intramembranous versus endochondral bone formation. Maxilla and mandibular alveolar and basal bone are originated from neural crest cells and exhibit intramembranous bone formation.(Chai and Maxson 2006) However, axial skeleton such as iliac or tibial bones are originated from mesoderm and undergo endochondral bone formation.(Helms and Schneider 2003) It had been reported that there is distinct phenotype difference in human bone cells from different skeletal origin.(Akintoye et al 2006, Kasperk et al 1997),(Matsubara et al 2005) Akintoye et al.(Akintoye et al 2006) reported that mandibular bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) displayed a fibroblast-like morphology similar to iliac BMSCs in histological appearance. However, mandibular bone contained less red marrow and hematopoietic cells, whereas the iliac bone contained more red marrow thereby contributing more to hematopoiesis. This differential capacity of mandibular BMSCs with less hematopoietic stem cells is better than that of iliac BMSCs because mitosis in hematopoietic stem cells is usually stopped. They also reported that maxillofacial BMSCs shows higher proliferation rate and alkaline phosphotase activity.(Akintoye et al 2006, Akintoye et al 2008) However, in vivo response of human BMSCs to osteogenic induction was higher in iliac bone than maxillomandibular bone.(Akintoye et al 2006) Other reports had shown that BMSCs from mandible showed better in vitro and in vivo bone formation capacity compared to tibia from rats.(Aghaloo et al 2010) Matsubara et al. reported that osteogenic potential of human or canine alveolar bone and iliac bone-derived cells (BC) are similar but showed difference in chondrogenic and adipogenic potential.(Matsubara et al 2005) From the previous studies, the site-related difference of mandibular and iliac BC are clear. However, the pattern of the site-specificity are not exactly same among above mentioned studies. These might be attributed to the difference in the experimental subjects (species, age) and study design (in-patient or random comparison, etc). Moreover, underlying genetic mechanism of these skeletal-site dependent difference had not been fully investigated. The investigation of site-specific differences in the gene expression would be help to understand the mechanism of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), which recently has become an major issue in dentistry. Considering that bisphosphonate is frequently prescribed to elderly patients who have a higher risk of osteoporosis, it is necessary to conduct a experimental analysis of cells from older-aged donors. It had been suggested that anatomical site-specific difference can be influenced by 1) difference in the regional blood supply, 2) difference in bone composition (lamellar bone versus trabecular bone), 3) difference in physiological strain exerted to bone, 4) difference in gene expression according to skeletal site.(Kasperk et al 1997) In this study, bone cells derived from elderly donors went through microarray analysis under the hypothesis that there would be the differences in gene expressions involved in bone formation or cell proliferation of bone cells from iliac and mandible. The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in gene expression between the human mandible and iliac bone so that we can understand the genetic difference in the two different type of bones. <<<References>>> 1.

Gene expression profiles of mandible reveal features of both calvarial and ulnar bones in the adult rat.J Dent. 2013 Mar;41(3):258-64. doi: 10.1016/j.jdent.2012.11.010. Epub 2012 Nov 23. OBJECTIVES: Limb and mandibular alveolar bone of the mandible are susceptible to disuse osteopenia, whilst skull and mandibular basal bone appear to resist excessive generalised bone loss. We wanted to compare the site-specific transcriptome of anatomically and functionally distinct bones to confirm the composite nature of the mandible at the molecular level. METHODS: Gene expression profiles were obtained for the mandible, ulna, and calvaria of adult male rats using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 GeneChips. Ingenuity Pathways Assist generated association maps, and RGD database software identified site-specific pathways. RESULTS: The majority of expressed transcripts (84%) are common to all three sites. The mandible expressed 873 transcripts in common with ulna but not calvaria, and 1014 transcripts in common with calvaria but not ulna. Transcripts in these groups were excluded if they showed significant differential expression (>2-fold) and the remaining mapped genes were filtered for those related to modulation of gene transcription. Analysis of these genes revealed common pathways shared by the mandible and ulna, or mandible and calvaria, which were not shared by the calvaria and ulna. CONCLUSIONS: There were relatively few differences in the expression of genes responsible for the bone formation process per se in different functional skeletal sites. Differential transcription factor expression suggests that it is the regulation of bone formation and not the mechanism of bone formation itself that differs between the skeletal sites. CLINICAL SIGNIFICAN Objectives: The exact genetic difference between the jaw and long bone had not been clearly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in gene expression between the human mandible and iliac bone-derived cells. Methods: Primary cells were obtained from mandibular and iliac bone from the 6 healthy, elderly donors (average age 60.2 years) during the reconstruction of mandibular alveolar bone defects. To investigate site-specific difference, within-patient comparison were carried out with cell proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation assay. Gene expression profile of mandible and iliac BC (bone-derived cell) were compared using cDNA microarray analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip®. Results: The mandibular BC showed stronger proliferative capacity but weaker osteoblastic differentiation. The comparison of the gene expression profile identified that 82 genes were significantly up-regulated and 66 genes were down-regulated 1.5 fold or greater in mandible compared to iliac BC. The most significantly differentially regulated genes were associated with skeletal system development and morphogenesis (SIX1, MSX1, MSX2, HAND2, PRRX1, OSR2, HOX gene family, PITX2). Microarray analysis revealed that Msx1 was 2.03 fold and Msx2 was 1.99 fold up-regulated in mandible compared to iliac BC (both p<0.01). HOX gene group in mandibular BC was down-regulated (p<0.01). Osteopontin was also 2.84 fold down-regulated in mandible BC (p<0.01). We found that the results of the microarray were reproducible with qRT-PCR. Conclusions: Site-specific difference between jaw and long bone can be explained by the different gene expression pattern, which is primarily related with embryological origin of these two different bones.
