[Research on early diagnosis of esophageal cancer by Raman spectroscopy of human hemoglobin].

The Raman spectrums of hemoglobin from 20 normal persons and 21 esophageal cancer patients were measured and analyzed in the present paper, the results show obvious differences between the Raman spectrums of esophageal cancer patients and normal persons. Compared with normal persons, there are more iron ions in low spin state and less in high spin state in the hemoglobin of esophageal cancer patients. It indicates that some iron ions in high spin state turned to low spin state because of cancerization, and this experimental result coincides with the fact that hemolysis is more likely to occur in cancer patients.

[Analysis of surface enhanced Raman scattering spectra of oxyhemoglobin for liver cancer with combined multivariate statistics].

Investigation of surface-enhanced Raman spectra of oxyhemoglobin for 30 liver cancers and 30 normal persons based on the silver nanofilm was reported. Principal components analysis (PCA) and independent variable T test were employed to develop effective diagnostic algorithms for distinguishing liver cancer form normal. Discriminant analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency and the result indicates that SERS spectra of the oxyhemoglobin are obviously different between normal persons and liver cancers.

[Raman spectra study on radiation damage in EC9706 cells by 60Cogamma-rays].

Raman spectrum was used to study the structure and content of protein, nucleic acid and fat, while EC9706 cells irradiated by 60Co gamma-ray were cultivated for 24 h. The results showed that for spectrum intensity and frequency deviation, there were big differences between each exposure group and control group. For the 1 244 cm(-1) peak of amide III, beta folder changed to disordered conformations in the middle dose (4, 5Gy) groups.

[Study on absorption spectra of cell substrate for Hep-2 cell after being radiated by X-ray].

UV-absorption spectra of the Hep-2 cell's culture medium RPMI1640 (10% Foetal Calf Serum) were collected by UV-3101 spectrophotometer after the Hep-2 cell was radiated by X-ray and cultivated for 24, 48 and 72 h, and the absorbability of the proteins in the substrate was analyzed. From these results it was found that there were visible differences among these absorption spectra. In particular, the absorption peaks of the RPMI1640 culture medium during the cultivation shifted from 233 to 235 nm, while the absorption peak at 278 nm became more and more smooth and even finally disappeared with the cultivation time.
