Background: According to the NIA-AA guidelines, pathological diagnosis as Intermedia (I) or High (H) via ABC scores qualifies as pathological Alzheimer's disease (AD). Multiple studies indicated that some individuals, while pathologically diagnosed with AD, maintain normal cognitive function during their lifetime, here defined as resilient AD (rAD). In contrast to typical AD (tAD), characterized by both pathological AD diagnosis and dementia, rAD brains exhibited no significant differences in AD pathology but showed increased synapse numbers.

The authors analyzed four modern turquoises from Hubei province and Anhui province by using the Raman microscopic with the samples are gathered on the spot. According to the study the authors discovered that the Raman spectra of the Hubei turquoises with different color but with the same backgrounds of mineral resource and the formation cause of mineral resource and in the same formation line of turquoise mineral resource have little difference. On the contrary, there is a strong difference in the 900-100 cm(-1) region of the Raman spectra between the turquoises from Hubei province and the turquoise from Anhui province which has remarkable different backgrounds of mineral resource and the formation cause of mineral resource.
