RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Limited data indicated the performance of large language model (LLM) taking on the role of doctors. We aimed to investigate the potential for ChatGPT-3.5 and New Bing Chat acting as doctors using thyroid nodules as an example. METHODS: A total of 145 patients with thyroid nodules were included for generating questions. Each question was entered into chatbot of ChatGPT-3.5 and New Bing Chat five times and five responses were acquired respectively. These responses were compared with answers given by five junior doctors. Responses from five senior doctors were regarded as gold standard. Accuracy and reproducibility of responses from ChatGPT-3.5 and New Bing Chat were evaluated. RESULTS: The accuracy of ChatGPT-3.5 and New Bing Chat in answering Q2, Q3, Q5 were lower than that of junior doctors (all P < 0.05), while both LLMs were comparable to junior doctors when answering Q4 and Q6. In terms of "high reproducibility and accuracy", ChatGPT-3.5 outperformed New Bing Chat in Q1 and Q5 (P < 0.001 and P = 0.008, respectively), but showed no significant difference in Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q6 (P > 0.05 for all). New Bing Chat generated higher accuracy than ChatGPT-3.5 (72.41% vs 58.62%) (P = 0.003) in decision making of thyroid nodules, and both were less accurate than junior doctors (89.66%, P < 0.001 for both). CONCLUSIONS: The exploration of ChatGPT-3.5 and New Bing Chat in the diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules illustrates that LLMs currently demonstrate the potential for medical applications, but do not yet reach the clinical decision-making capacity of doctors.
RESUMO
Objectives: To detect the expression of circular RNA (circRNA) circINTS4 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and to analyze the relationship between the expression of circRNA circINTS4 and the clinicopathological characteristics and chemotherapy resistance of patients with TNBC. Methods: Bioinformatics was used to predict that circINTS4 and POM121 could bind to miR-129-5p, and dual luciferase reporter genes proved that circINTS4 could bind to miR-129-5p and miR-129-5p could bind to POM121. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down experiments confirmed that circINTS4 binds to miR-129-5p. The correlation among circINTS4, miR-129-5p, and POM121 was detected by qRT-PCR. Results: In ADR-resistant TNB cells, circINTS4 was significantly up-regulated, miR-129-5p was down-regulated, and POM121 protein expression was significantly up-regulated. Experimental results showed that circINTS4 knockdown inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion, and autophagy. Knocking down miR-129-5p or overexpression of POM121 reversed the inhibitory effect of sh-circints4 on the development of ADR-resistant TNBC cells. In addition, CIRCINTS4 regulates POM121 expression by sponge-adsorbed miR-129-5p. CIRCINTS4 knockdown prevents ADR-resistant tumor growth by regulating the miR-129-5p/POM121 axis in vivo. Conclusions: CircRNA circINTS4 may act as the ceRNA of miR-129-5p to regulate the expression of target gene POM121, thereby promoting the progress of TNBC molecular mechanism and providing scientific basis for circINTS4 as a new molecular target for clinical diagnosis and drug resistance therapy of TNBC.
