Background: To investigate the overall performance of Raman Spectroscopy (RS) in the diagnosis of lung cancer.

Methods: We systematic searched databases including PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI and Web of science for studies up to May 2020 with no start date limited. Then we extracted data of true positives, true negatives, false positives and false negatives from the included studies to calculate the pooled sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative likelihood ratios (LRs), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), with 95% confidence intervals to evaluate the diagnostic value of Raman spectroscopy. We plotted the summary receiver operator characteristics (SROC) and the area under the curve (AUC) to evaluate the overall performance of Raman spectroscopy. Quality assessments and Publication bias were evaluated by QUADAS-2 checklist and Stata software version 12.0.

Results: Totally, 12 studies were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of Raman Spectroscopy in lung cancer were 0.90 (95% CI, 0.87-0.92, P<0.05) and 0.76 (95% CI, 0.72-0.79, P<0.05). The pooled PLR and NLR were 5.87 (95% CI, 3.45-9.97) and 0.14 (95% CI, 0.10-0.22) respectively. And the AUC of SROC curve was 0.9453.

Discussion: Raman spectroscopy had excellent accuracy with high sensitivity and considerable specificity in the diagnosis of lung cancer.

Chemotherapy is a crucial cancer treatment, but its effectiveness requires precise monitoring of drug concentrations in patients. This study introduces an innovative electrochemical strip sensor design to detect and continuously monitor methotrexate (MTX), a key chemotherapeutic drug. The sensor is crafted through an eco-friendly synthesis process that produces porous reduced graphene oxide (PrGO), which is then integrated with gold nanocomposites and polypyrrole (PPy) to boost the performance of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE).

The combination of plasmonic metals and MXene, as a new and interesting member of the 2D material class, may provide unique advantages in terms of low cost, versatility, flexibility, and improved activity as an ideal surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform. Despite the recent progress, the present studies on the utilization of plasmonic metal/MXene-based SERS systems are quite limited and thereby benefits of the extraordinary properties of this combination cannot be realized. In this study, for the first time, we propose layer-by-layer (LbL) thin films of TiC MXene and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a robust SERS platform (TiC/AuNPs).

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly sensitive analytical technique with excellent molecular specificity. However, separate pristine nanoparticles produce relatively weak Raman signals. It is necessary to focus on increasing the "hot-spot" density generated at the nanogaps between the adjacent nanoparticles (second-generation SERS hotspot), thus significantly boosting the Raman signal by creating an electromagnetic field.

The study of degradation behavior of electrocatalysts in an industrial context calls for rapid and efficient analysis methods. Optical methods like Raman spectroscopy fulfil these requirements and are thus predestined for this purpose. However, the iridium utilized in proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEMEL) is Raman inactive in its metallic state.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles have attracted widespread attention as lubrication additives due to their tunable structures and surface effects. However, their solid lubrication properties have been rarely explored. This work introduces the positive role of moisture in solid lubrication in the case of a newly described Ti-based MOF (COK-47) powder.
