Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview01:26

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview

1.8K
A conventional Raman spectrophotometer includes a laser source, a sample holding system, a wavelength selector, and a detector.
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...

Raman Spectroscopy: Overview01:20

Raman Spectroscopy: Overview

2.5K
The underlying principle of Raman spectroscopy is based on the interaction between light and matter, specifically molecules' inelastic scattering of photons. When a monochromatic beam of light, typically from a laser source, interacts with a sample, most scattered light has the same frequency as the incident light. This is known as Rayleigh scattering.
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

6.6K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Spectroscopy
  • Cancer Diagnostics
  • Biomarker Discovery

Background:

  • Serum Raman spectroscopy (RS) has demonstrated potential in diagnosing oral cancer and predicting recurrence.
  • Current oral cancer screening methods, like visual inspection, have limitations, especially for non-high-risk populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the potential of serum Raman spectroscopy for oral cancer screening.
  • To explore the capability of serum RS in detecting premalignant and cancer-specific changes.

Main Methods:

  • Serum samples from 328 subjects (healthy controls, premalignant, disease controls, oral cancer) were analyzed using Raman microprobe spectroscopy.
  • Principal component linear discriminant analysis was used for spectral data analysis.
  • Binary classification models and screening-friendly models (four-group and normal vs. abnormal) were employed.

Main Results:

  • Spectral analysis revealed significant biochemical changes (amino acids, lipids, protein, DNA, β-carotene) across different subject groups.
  • The normal versus abnormal classification model achieved a sensitivity of 64% and specificity of 80%.
  • The study demonstrated the feasibility of detecting premalignant conditions and specific oral cancers.

Conclusions:

  • Serum Raman spectroscopy is a feasible method for the early and specific detection of oral precancers and cancer.
  • The normal versus abnormal detection model shows performance comparable to standard screening approaches.
  • Serum RS may serve as a valuable adjunct to existing screening methods for oral cancer detection.
