Multi-component detection of insulin and glucose in serum is of great importance and urgently needed in clinical diagnosis and treatment due to its economy and practicability. However, insulin and glucose can hardly be determined by traditional electrochemical detection methods. Their mixed oxidation currents and rare involvement in the reaction process make it difficult to decouple them. In this study, AI algorithms are introduced to power the electrochemical method to conquer this problem. First, the current curves of insulin, glucose, and their mixed solution are obtained using cyclic voltammetry. Then, seven features of the cyclic voltammetry curve are extracted as characteristic values for detecting the concentrations of insulin and glucose. Finally, after training using machine learning algorithms, insulin and glucose concentrations are decoupled and regressed accurately. The entire detection process only takes three minutes. It can detect insulin at the pmol level and glucose at the mmol level, which meets the basic clinical requirements. The average relative error in predicting insulin concentrations is around 6.515%, and that in predicting glucose concentrations is around 4.36%. To verify the performance and effectiveness of the proposed method, it is used to determine the concentrations of insulin and glucose in fetal bovine serum and real clinical serum samples. The results are satisfactory, demonstrating that the method can meet basic clinical needs. This multi-component testing system delivers acceptable detect limit and accuracy and has the merits of low cost and high efficiency, holding great potential for use in clinical diagnosis.
血清中胰岛素和葡萄糖的多组分检测因其经济性和实用性在临床诊断和治疗中具有重要意义且迫切需要。然而,传统电化学检测方法很难测定胰岛素和葡萄糖。它们的混合氧化电流以及在反应过程中很少参与,使得难以将它们解耦。在本研究中,引入人工智能算法来助力电化学方法解决这一问题。首先,使用循环伏安法获得胰岛素、葡萄糖及其混合溶液的电流曲线。然后,提取循环伏安曲线的七个特征作为检测胰岛素和葡萄糖浓度的特征值。最后,经过机器学习算法训练后,胰岛素和葡萄糖浓度被准确解耦和回归。整个检测过程仅需三分钟。它可以检测皮摩尔水平的胰岛素和毫摩尔水平的葡萄糖,满足基本临床需求。预测胰岛素浓度的平均相对误差约为6.515%,预测葡萄糖浓度的平均相对误差约为4.36%。为验证所提方法的性能和有效性,将其用于测定胎牛血清和实际临床血清样本中胰岛素和葡萄糖的浓度。结果令人满意,表明该方法能够满足基本临床需求。这种多组分检测系统具有可接受的检测限和准确性,且具有低成本、高效率的优点,在临床诊断中具有巨大的应用潜力。
