ABSTRACT

Brain glioma invariably relapses since the tumor is difficult to remove completely. Accurate identification of tumor subtypes and tracing of tumor boundaries intraoperatively are the key clinical issues. Raman spectroscopy has a good application prospect in the intraoperative diagnosis of brain glioma due to its advantages of nondestructive, label-free, histology imaging and high specificity. In this article, the research and application of Raman spectroscopy in the in vitro diagnosis and intraoperative navigation-related diagnosis and treatment of brain glioma are reviewed.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To develop an accurate, specific and rapid and non-destructive technique for the identification of Candida auris and its relatives without destroying the cell wall. Methods:The study was conducted in Beijing Institute of Radiation Medicine in 2021. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates were prepared by sodium citrate reduction. Through SERS, the collected SERS fingerprint spectra were analyzed by orthogonal partial least-squares-discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) using SIMCA 14.1 (Umetrics, Sweden). Four strains of Candida auris, 4 strains of Candida heamulonii, 3 strains of Candida pseudohaemulonii and 4 strains of Candida duobushaemulonii were effectively identified and distinguished. Results:Within the 95% confidence interval, the sample analysis results presented an oval. The four Candida species detected in this study could be well separated. R2X(cum)=0.629, R2Y(cum)=0.947, Q2(cum)=0.915. R2X, R2Y and Q2 all>0.5 and closed to 1, suggesting that the model in this study was well established, and had good prediction ability. The results of the 10-fold-cross validation showed that the accuracy of both the model training data and test data are 100%, indicating that the model established in this research had good classification capabilities. Conclusions:This research has developed a new technique that can identify Candida auris and its relatives in a highly accuracy, specific and rapid way without destroying the cell wall. Being cost-effective and easy to operate, this technique has great potential to be applied in clinical fungal testing.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish a method of serum detection by Raman spectroscopy for the diagnosis of gastric cancer.Methods:Between April and November 2019, 110 patients with gastric cancer [73 males, 37 females, age (57.4±10.3) years] and 74 patients with colorectal cancer [48 males and 26 females, aged (58.3±12.2) years] were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University, along with 100 healthy subjects [59 males and 41 females, aged (55.6±10.61) years] during the same period. Fasting venous blood serum samples were collected from the subjects. A Raman spectrometer XploRA PLUS was used in this experiment, with an excitation light source of 532 nm, a field of view of 100 times, and a spectrum range of 200-2 000 cm -1, etc. The serum samples were detected by nondestructive and non-contact rapid detection, and the Raman spectra of serum samples were collected. Using the Raman spectrum acquisition and processing supporting software LabSpec6 to smooth, baseline, and normalize the obtained Raman spectrum. Multivariate statistical analysis software SIMCA14.1 were applied to import and analyze the obtained Raman spectrum data by principal component analysis (PCA), orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and other methods for statistical analysis. An operating characteristic curve (ROC) was constructed to evaluate the model analysis effect between serum samples of healthy people and those with gastric cancer. Serum samples from the colorectal cancer group were used to verify the reliability of the model. Results:Six Raman peaks with good repeatability were detected in serum samples in health and gastric cancer group, and peaks were located at 1 001.17, 1 154.63, 1 337.89, 1 446.85, 1 515.33, and 1 658.34 cm -1, respectively. Raman intensities at six Raman peaks were significantly different between healthy and gastric cancer groups. At the displacement of 1 001.17, 1 154.63, and 1 515.33 cm -1, the Raman intensity in the healthy group was higher than that in the gastric cancer group. At 1 337.89, 1 446.85, and 1 658.34 cm -1 displacement, the Raman intensity of the gastric cancer group was higher than that of the healthy group. An OPLS-DA model was constructed to analyze the serum samples of the healthy group and the gastric cancer group. In the model, R 2 is the fitting power, and Q 2 is the predictive ability. The closer the values of R 2 and Q 2 are to 1, the better the performance of the model, and the obtained model's R 2X(cum)=0.809, R 2Y(cum)=0.819, Q 2(cum)=0.758. ROC characteristic curve was drawn based on the OPLS-DA model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the gastric cancer group was 0.998. Six peaks with good repeatability were detected in the serum Raman spectra of gastric cancer stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, which were located at the displacement of 1 001.85, 1 155.07, 1 338.36, 1 445.75, 1 515.92, and 1 657.68 cm -1, respectively, and at the displacement of 1 155.07 and 1 515.92 cm -1. The Raman intensity of gastric cancer stage Ⅳwas significantly higher than that of gastric cancer stages Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ. Conclusions:According to the model reliability verification, the healthy group, gastric cancer group and colorectal cancer group can also be effectively separated based on OPLS-DA results; it showed a good performance in separating the healthy group from the gastric cancer group. It is possible to detect serum samples from healthy people and gastric cancer patients unlabeled by combining Raman spectroscopy and the OPLS-DA method in multivariate statistics.

ABSTRACT

As técnicas clareadoras são consideradas seguras, simples e não invasivas. Assim, ganharam popularidade entre profissionais e pacientes. No entanto, o livre acesso do gel à estrutura dentária e o contato direto com a superfície do esmalte levantam dúvidas sobre seus reais impactos. Novas preocupações surgiram com os chamados produtos de bancada e a possibilidade de auto-aplicação, inclusive com consumo exagerado e/ou sem orientação e acompanhamento. Sendo assim, buscou-se avaliar, os efeitos de produtos clareadores caseiros sobre microestrutura, rugosidade, composição, nanodureza e módulo de elasticidade do esmalte dentário humano, em protocolos de uso normal ou excessivo. Amostras obtidas de 10 terceiros molares foram divididas em 4 grupos: grupo I ­ armazenamento em saliva artificial, grupo II ­ utilização de peróxido de carbamida (PC) 10%, grupo III ­ utilização de peróxido de hidrogênio (H2O2) 10%, grupo IV ­ utilização de tiras clareadoras (H2O2 10%). Cada dente forneceu quatro fragmentos de esmalte para cada um dos grupos. Foram realizadas aplicações diárias de acordo com a recomendação dos fabricantes, e foi adotada simulação de escovação duas vezes ao dia com escova elétrica. Todas as amostras foram armazenadas em saliva artificial e passaram por análises antes do início da terapia, após 4 e 8 semanas de intervenção. A escolha por técnicas não-destrutivas permitiu que cada amostra fosse seu próprio controle. Desse modo, a microscopia confocal por varredura a laser e microscopia de força atômica avaliaram alterações na microestrutura da superfície e foram coletados dados de rugosidade (Sa e Sq) para análise estatística. Os espécimes passaram por testes de nanoindentação para avaliação de nanodureza e módulo de elasticidade. Essas informações foram correlacionadas com as alterações de composição por microespectroscopia Raman. O clareamento com PC não apresentou alterações significativas nas amostras de esmalte, seguindo o padrão de comportamento daquelas escovadas e armazenadas em saliva artificial, tendo se mostrado segura. No entanto, os grupos que passaram por intervenção com H2O2 (III e IV) apresentaram modificações significativas em suas propriedades após 4 e 8 semanas de utilização. A alteração na superfície com aparência mais exposta foi associada a maior detecção de proteínas após as primeiras 4 semanas de utilização, especialmente para o grupo III. Após 8 semanas, a superfície apareceu mais suave, com perda do padrão prismático e queda no conteúdo orgânico, sugerindo uma perda de camadas superficiais desorganizadas. Do mesmo modo, o aumento dos valores de dureza e módulo de elasticidade para essas amostras pareceu derivar do efeito remineralizador da saliva e do papel positivo das proteínas mais expostas nas propriedades mecânicas permitindo maior deslizamento dos cristais e acomodação frente às cargas. Conclui-se que o uso de géis a base de H2O2 deve ser cauteloso, seguindo as recomendações profissionais e que são necessários testes in situ e in vivo para confirmar as tendências observadas.


The bleaching techniques are considered safe, simple and non-invasive and thus have gained popularity among professionals and patients. However, the free access of the gel to dental structures and the direct contact with the surface of the enamel, during the whole treatment raises doubts, about its possible impacts. Concerns were also raised about the emergence of so-called over-the-counter products and the possibility of self-application that could lead to excessive consumption and / or lack of guidance and monitoring. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of home bleaching products on the microstructure, roughness, composition, nanohardness and elastic modulus of human dental enamel in protocols of normal or excessive use. Samples were obtained from 10 third molars and divided into 4 groups: group I - storage in artificial saliva, group II - treatment with 10% carbamide peroxide, group III - treatment with 10% hydrogen peroxide, group IV - treatment with whitening strips (10% hydrogen peroxide). Each tooth provided four enamel fragments for treatment in each one of the groups. Daily applications were performed according to the manufacturers' recommendations, and a brushing simulation was used twice a day with an electric brush. All samples were stored in artificial saliva at the treatment intervals and were analyzed before the start of therapy, after 4 and 8 weeks of intervention. The choice by non-destructive techniques allowed each sample to be its own control. Qualitative analyzes of microstructure alteration were carried out using confocal laser scanning microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Roughness data (Sa and Sq) were also obtained for statistical analysis. Nanoindentation tests were used to determine changes in the nanohardness and elastic modulus. All of this information was correlated with composition changes by Raman micro-spectroscopy. Carbamide peroxide bleaching showed no significant changes in enamel samples, following the behavior pattern of those brushed and stored in artificial saliva, and therefore considered safe. However, the groups treated with hydrogen peroxide (III and IV) showed significant modifications in their properties after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The change in surface with more exposed appearance was associated with greater protein detection after the first month of treatment, especially for group III. After 8 weeks, the surface appeared smoother, with reduction of prismatic pattern and drop in organic content, suggesting a loss of disorganized mineral surface layers. Likewise, the increase in hardness and elastic modulus values for these samples seems to derive from the remineralizing effect of saliva and the positive role of the most exposed proteins in the mechanical properties, allowing greater slip of the crystals and accommodation with the loads. These changes may not reach clinically perceptible patterns but reinforce the importance of dentists' supervision and monitoring, since in-vivo the patient may be exposed to other challenges that may worsen the impacts. It is concluded that the use of hydrogen peroxide gels in bleaching therapies should be under professional supervision and that in situ and in vivo tests are required to confirm the observed trends.

ABSTRACT

Globally white-light endoscopy with biopsy sampling is the gold standard diagnostic modality for esophageal, gastric, and colonic pathologies. However, there is overwhelming evidence to highlight the deficiencies of an approach based predominantly on eyeball visualization. Biopsy sampling is also problematic due in part to excessive sampling and hence attendant cost. Various innovations are currently taking place in the endoscopic domain to aid operators in diagnosis forming. These include narrow band imaging which aims to enhance the surface anatomy and vasculature, and confocal laser endomicroscopy which provides real time histological information. However, both of these tools are limited by the skill of the operator and the extensive learning curve associated with their use. There is a gap therefore for a new form of technology that relies solely on an objective measure of disease and reduces the need for biopsy sampling. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a potential platform that aims to satisfy these criteria. It enables a fingerprint capture of tissue in relation to the protein, DNA, and lipid content. This focused review highlights the strong potential for the use of RS during endoscopic gastroenterological examination.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to investigate differences of chemical composition between subchondral bone in advanced osteoarthritic (OA) and non-OA distal femur. METHODS: Twenty femurs were harvested, respectively. The subchondral trabeculae were obtained from the middle of medial articular surface of distal femurs. A 10 mm diameter cylindrical saw was used to harvest. Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive technique, was employed to determine the chemical information of the trabecular bones in the human distal femurs. RESULTS: The maximum intensity of the phosphate peak was 2,376.51+/-954.6 for the non-OA group and 1,936.3+/-831.75 for the OA group. The maximum intensity of the phosphate peak observed between the two groups was significantly different (P=0.017). The maximum intensity of the amide I peak were 474.17+/-253.42 for the nonOA group and 261.91+/-205.61 for the OA group. The maximum intensity of the amide I peak were significantly different between the two groups (P=0.042). Also, among other chemical and matrix components (Hydroxyproline,Carbonate, Amide IIIdisordered;ordered, and CH2), the spectrums showed similar significant differences in the intensity (P=0.027, P=0.014, P=0.012; P=0.038, P=0.029). Area integration were performed to determine disorder in collagen's secondary structure via amide III (alpha helix/random coil). The value of the alpha helix to random coil band area are significantly different (P=0.021) and result showing that there was a trend toward higher collagen maturity for the nonosteoarthritic bone specimens. CONCLUSIONS: The result suggested that OA may affect the chemical compositions of trabecular bone, and such distinctive chemical information may be.

ABSTRACT

Molecular imaging in gastroenterology has become more feasible with recent advances in imaging technology, molecular genetics, and next-generation biochemistry, in addition to advances in endoscopic imaging techniques including magnified high-resolution endoscopy, narrow band imaging or autofluorescence imaging, flexible spectral imaging color enhancement, and confocal laser endomicroscopy. These developments have the potential to serve as "red flag" techniques enabling the earlier and accurate detection of mucosal abnormalities (such as precancerous lesions) beyond biomarkers, virtual histology of detected lesions, and molecular targeted therapy-the strategy of "one stone to kill two or three birds"; however, more effort should be done to be "blue ocean" benefit. This review deals with the introduction of Raman spectroscopy endoscopy, imaging mass spectroscopy, and nanomolecule development for theranostics. Imaging of molecular pathological changes in cells/tissues/organs might open the "royal road" to either convincing diagnosis of diseases that otherwise would only be detected in the advanced stages or novel therapeutic methods targeted to personalized medicine.

ABSTRACT

Cutaneous melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and Ft-Raman spectroscopy has been studied as a potential method that could be a real alternative for early diagnosis of neoplasms. PURPOSE: To qualify the spectral FT-Raman data, in order to differentiate cutaneous melanoma and pigmented nevus. METHODS: For this study, 10 samples of cutaneous melanoma, 9 samples of pigmented nevi, and 10 samples of normal skin were obtained by incisional biopsies performed during plastic surgeries ex vivo, immediately after removing the surgical sample. RESULTS: The FT-Raman spectra of each group presented a high correlation between the elements of the same group, thus favoring the elaboration of spectral averages. When analyzing the spectral standard of each group, the normal skin standard did not show a significant variation between the spectra; the standard of the pigmented nevi group showed significant variation, and the cutaneous melanoma group also showed variation. Through univariate analysis, specific bands were detected for each vibrational mode identified. The discriminatory analysis of the data showed a 75.3 percent efficiency of the differentiation between the three groups studied. CONCLUSION: The vibrational modes Polysaccharides, Tyrosine and Amide-I differentiated the melanoma from the pigmented nevus.


O melanoma cutâneo é o câncer de pele mais agressivo, e a espectroscopia FT-Raman tem sido estudada como um método em potencial que pode ser uma verdadeira alternativa no diagnóstico precoce de neoplasias. OBJETIVO: Qualificar os dados espectrais FT-Raman de modo a diferenciar melanoma cutâneo de nevo pigmentado. MÉTODOS: Foram utilizadas 10 amostras de melanoma cutâneo, obtidas por meio de biopsias incisionais realizadas "ex-vivo"; nove amostras de nevo pigmentado e 10 amostras de pele normal foram coletadas durante cirurgias plásticas. RESULTADOS: Os espectros FT-Raman de cada grupo diagnóstico apresentaram alta correlação entre os elementos do mesmo grupo, o que favoreceu a realização das médias espectrais. Analisando o padrão espectral de cada grupo, o de pele normal não mostrou grande variação entre os espectros; o de nevo pigmentado apresentou variação notável e, o grupo melanoma primário também indicou variação. Por meio de análise univariada foram identificadas bandas específicas para cada modo vibracional identificado. A análise discriminante aos dados mostrou 75,3 por cento de eficiência na diferenciação entre os três grupos estudados. CONCLUSÃO: Os modos vibracionais Polissacarídeos (Banda I), Tirosina (Banda 6) e Amida I (Banda 10) diferenciaram o melanoma do nevo pigmentado.
