[Raman spectra of cell from breast cancer patients]

Raman spectra of normal and cancer cell from breast cancer patients a represented. It is reported that all of the Ramanlines become weak. The intensities of Raman lines 782 and 1 084 cm(-1) of DNA phosphate group and 1 155 and 1 262 cm(-1) of deoxyribosephosphate decrease. The spectral lines 812 cm(-1) of A-type DNA and 979 and 668 cm(-1) disappear, and the 905 cm(-1) peak is shifted to lower frequency by 6 cm(-1). This means that the phosphate backbone of DNA is destroyed to a certain extent and the fissiparity of cancer cell can't be controlled effectively. In addition, the authors found a kind of Raman line 960 cm(-1) concerning calcificationand sclerosis of cancer cell. The results indicate that Raman spectra may offer the experiment basis for the cancer diagnosis and treatment.
