Due to the high incidence of head and neck cancer and under-diagnosis in the early stages, non-invasive and highly accurate diagnostic tests are required for cancer detection. Recent advances in Raman spectroscopy techniques have yielded promising sensitivity and specificity results in the evaluation of cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential value of Raman spectroscopy in oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer diagnosis based on currently available scientific papers. A search of the PubMed database was performed using a specific strategy and according to the PRISMA guidelines. Raman spectroscopy achieved a maximum accuracy of 98% in cancer detection, while accuracy was 97.24% for tumour grading evaluation, 95% for cancer treatment assessment, and 77% for the detection of cancer recurrence. Moreover, early-stage cancer can be identified by Raman spectroscopy investigation of liquid biopsy samples. An in vivo technique with direct mucosa examination by fibre-optic Raman spectroscopy obtained a maximum accuracy of 94% in cancer diagnosis. The most prominent markers of the presence of malignancy were an increase in Raman signal intensity for proteins, nucleic acids, and water and a decrease for lipids. These cancer discriminants were detected in both fingerprint and high wavenumber regions. In conclusion, Raman spectroscopy is a promising tool for oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer screening.

Unlabelled: The persistent challenge posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria and tuberculosis necessitates innovative approaches to antimicrobial treatment. This study explores the synthesis and characterization of NiZrO₃ nanoparticles integrated with graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), using a microwave-assisted green synthesis route, employing fenugreek () seed extract as a gelling agent. The synthesised nanocomposites were systematically analyzed using XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, HR-SEM and HR TEM analysis to assess structural, optical, and morphological properties.

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CORR) offers potential for sustainable production and greenhouse gas mitigation, particularly with renewable energy integration. However, its widespread application is hindered by expensive catalysts, low selectivity, and limited current density. This study addresses these challenges by developing a low-mass-loading two-dimensional (2D) BiOSe catalyst chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

Hypohalites are commonly generated in biological systems, mostly with functions related to defense and immune system response. These hypohalites can bind to metal centers and are known for their strong oxidizing properties that play crucial roles in various biological processes. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of novel biomimetic Ru(III)-hypochlorite complexes and focus the work on the electronic effects associated with the incorporation of methyl groups in a pentadentate ligand framework in an asymmetric fashion.

This study focuses on two types of phosphonium cation-based ionic liquids (P-ILs) with different alkyl chains: triethylalkylphosphonium (P222R) and tributylalkylphosphonium (P444R) cations. Broadband dielectric spectroscopy showed that the translational motion of the ions accelerated with an increasing number of alkyl chains by coupling with their rotational motion in both P-ILs. Raman spectroscopy revealed that P222R cations, despite dielectric similarities to P444R cations, can form all-trans conformations and cation-rich nanodomains because they have a relatively polar, short alkyl chain moiety with a central P atom and less-polar alkyl chains than those of P444R cations.

Background: The multifunctional cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a pivotal role in chronic and acute inflammatory responses, underscoring the importance of accurately determining IL-6 levels for early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of inflammation.
Results: This study developed a versatile and innovative single-particle surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing platform for the precise and sensitive quantification of IL-6 in complex samples using a novel one-pot synthesized, silver ions-doped three-dimensional porous gold microparticles (PGMs) with abundant hot spots for robust SERS enhancement. By rationally designing rich cytosine-Ag-cytosine base pairs between IL-6 aptamers and complementary chains on the PGMs, we harnessed the SERS-enhancing effect to achieve highly sensitive and specific IL-6 quantification within a wide range of 10 to 10 mg/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.
