An optimized machine learning method for predicting wogonin therapy for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

Human health is at risk from pulmonary hypertension (PH), characterized by decreased pulmonary vascular resistance and constriction of the pulmonary vessels, resulting in right heart failure and dysfunction. Thus, preventing PH and monitoring its progression before treating it is vital. Wogonin, derived from the leaves of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, exhibits remarkable pharmacological activity. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of wogonin in mitigating the progression of PH in mice using right heart catheterization and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. As an alternative to minimize the possibility of harming small animals, we present a scientifically effective feature selection method (BSCDWOA-KELM) that will allow us to develop a novel simpler noninvasive prediction method for wogonin in treating PH. In this method, we use the proposed enhanced whale optimizer (SCDWOA) in conjunction with the kernel extreme learning machine (KELM). Initially, we let SCDWOA perform global optimization experiments on the IEEE CEC2014 benchmark function set to verify its core advantages. Lastly, 12 public and PH datasets are examined for feature selection experiments using BSCDWOA-KELM. As shown in the experimental results for global optimization, the proposed SCDWOA has better convergence performance. Meanwhile, the proposed binary SCDWOA (BSCDWOA) significantly improves the ability of KELM to classify data. By utilizing the BSCDWOA-KELM, key indicators such as the Red blood cell (RBC), the Haemoglobin (HGB), the Lymphocyte percentage (LYM%), the Hematocrit (HCT), and the Red blood cell distribution width-size distribution (RDW-SD) can be efficiently screened in the Pulmonary hypertension dataset, and one of its most essential points is its accuracy of greater than 0.98. Consequently, the BSCDWOA-KELM introduced in this study can be used to predict wogonin therapy for treating pulmonary hypertension in a simple and noninvasive manner.
