Background: Raman spectroscopy has advantages over infrared absorption spectroscopy. Combined with a novel multivariate technique, hybrid linear analysis (HLA), low prediction error is expected.

Methods: A near-infrared (NIR) light source excited Raman signals, and a charge coupled device (CCD) camera was used to collect the signal. Samples were collected from 69 individuals for 7 weeks. The standard multivariate calibration technique, partial least squares (PLS) and HLA were both used to analyze the collected spectra. A Clarke error grid was used to evaluate the usefulness of the glucose measurement in serum.

Results: The root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP) for glucose in serum obtained with PLS is 21 mg/dL, and the RMSEP obtained with HLA is 17 mg/dL. In whole blood, the PLS RMSEP for glucose was 79 mg/dL, and HLA predictions had an RMSEP of 63 mg/dL.

Conclusions: The measurement technique was robust over the 7-week period. HLA was shown to generate a lower prediction error than PLS. The predictions by both PLS and HLA were clinically acceptable. The result with whole blood requires further improvement.

This study examined the electrodissolution mechanism of five impure sphalerite samples, which differ significantly in purity levels, along with their partially oxidized counterparts in a 0.5 M HSO. Partially oxidized samples were prepared through an incomplete leaching of sphalerite using HSO with Fe(SO).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Tài Zǐ Shēn, TZS) is a traditional Chinese medicine with spleen and qi benefits. Its immunomodulatory, anti-fatigue, anti-stress, and lipid metabolism regulation effects have been clinically confirmed, but its role in meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is still unclear.

Aim Of The Study: This study aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of action of TZS in treating MGD.

Identification of high-risk oral leukoplakia (OLK) using combined Raman spectroscopic analysis of brush biopsy and saliva samples: A proof of concept study.

The gold standard method of diagnosis of oral leukoplakia (OLK) is a tissue biopsy followed by histological examination. Raman spectroscopic studies of cytological brush biopsy and saliva samples have previously been shown to differentiate low (no and mild dysplasia) and high risk (moderate and severe dysplasia) OLKs, discriminant models of cellular samples achieving higher specificity, whereas those based on saliva samples achieved higher sensitivity. The current study combines the spectral data sets of cell and saliva samples in an attempt to improve the overall efficiency of the discriminating models.

Bacterial spores are highly resilient and capable of surviving extreme conditions, making them a persistent threat in contexts such as disease transmission, food safety, and bioterrorism. Their ability to withstand conventional sterilization methods necessitates rapid and accurate detection techniques to effectively mitigate the risks they present. In this study, we introduce a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) approach for detecting spores by targeting calcium dipicolinate acid (CaDPA), a biomarker uniquely associated with bacterial spores.
