MGCNSS: miRNA-disease association prediction with multi-layer graph convolution and distance-based negative sample selection strategy
In this study, we propose a novel approach named MGCNSS with the multi-layer graph convolution and high-quality negative sample selection strategy. Specifically, MGCNSS first constructs a comprehensive heterogeneous network by integrating miRNA and disease similarity networks coupled with their known association relationships. Then, we employ the multi-layer graph convolution to automatically capture the meta-path relations with different lengths in the heterogeneous network and learn the discriminative representations of miRNAs and diseases. After that, MGCNSS establishes a highly reliable negative sample set from the unl...

Fuzzy kernel evidence Random Forest for identifying pseudouridine sites
In this study, we propose fuzzy kernel evidence Random Forest (FKeERF) to identify pseudouridine sites. This method is called PseU-FKeERF, which demonstrates high accuracy in identifying pseudouridine sites from RNA sequencing data. The PseU-FKeERF model selected four RNA feature coding schemes with relatively good performance for feature combination, and then input them into the newly proposed FKeERF method for category prediction. FKeERF not only uses fuzzy logic to expand the original feature space, but also combines kernel methods that are easy to interpret in general for category prediction. Both cross-validation test...

TLOD: Innovative ovarian tumor detection for accurate multiclass classification and clinical application
AbstractOvarian tumors pose a major threat to women's health, mostly remaining undetected until they reach advanced stages, resulting in complex treatment and decreased survival rates. Besides, tumor heterogeneity is more responsible for poor treatment response and adverse prognosis. The purpose of this research is to identify ovarian epithelial tumors in premature stage using histopathological images. In this research, we address the need for an improved ovarian tumor detection method through the development of an innovative simple intelligent approach ‘Transfer Learning with ResNet-based Deep Learning for Ovarian Tumor...

MMR: A Multi-view Merge Representation model for Chemical-Disease relation extraction
Comput Biol Chem. 2024 Apr 3;110:108063. doi: 10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2024.108063. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChemical-Disease relation (CDR) extraction aims to identify the semantic relations between chemical and disease entities in the unstructured biomedical document, which provides a basis for downstream tasks such as clinical medical diagnosis and drug discovery. Compared with general domain relation extraction, it needs a more effective representation of the whole document due to the specialized nature of texts in the biomedical domain, including the biomedical entity and entity-pair representation. In this paper, ...

Understanding and Quantifying Network Robustness to Stochastic Inputs
Bull Math Biol. 2024 Apr 12;86(5):55. doi: 10.1007/s11538-024-01283-3.ABSTRACTA variety of biomedical systems are modeled by networks of deterministic differential equations with stochastic inputs. In some cases, the network output is remarkably constant despite a randomly fluctuating input. In the context of biochemistry and cell biology, chemical reaction networks and multistage processes with this property are called robust. Similarly, the notion of a forgiving drug in pharmacology is a medication that maintains therapeutic effect despite lapses in patient adherence to the prescribed regimen. What makes a network robust...
