Summary
This study developed a model to predict triglyceride (TG) concentration in human serum using fluorescence spectroscopy. Wavelet decomposition and derivative analysis improved prediction accuracy, offering a new method for blood testing.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Analytical Chemistry
- Spectroscopy
Background:
- Accurate and convenient measurement of blood indicators is crucial for modern medical diagnostics.
- Triglyceride (TG) concentration is a key parameter in blood analysis with significant health implications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a robust prediction model for triglyceride (TG) concentration in human serum.
- To investigate the utility of fluorescence spectra combined with advanced signal processing techniques for TG quantification.
Main Methods:
- Wavelet decomposition was employed to identify and reduce spectral noise, selecting 280 nm as the optimal excitation wavelength.
- Derivative spectroscopy and wavelet decomposition were used to minimize spectral multi-correlation.
- Prediction models were established using Quantum Genetic Algorithm and Partial Least Squares (PLS).
Main Results:
- Wavelet decomposition and derivative spectral analysis significantly reduced spectral multi-correlation and improved resolution.
- The developed prediction models achieved a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.077 mmol/L.
- Information density analysis indicated that the 3rd layer detailed wavelet decomposition spectrum contains the most TG concentration information.
Conclusions:
- Fluorescence spectroscopy, enhanced by wavelet decomposition and derivative analysis, provides an effective method for predicting triglyceride concentration.
- The study demonstrates the potential for component concentration detection in complex multi-component systems.
- This approach offers a valuable reference for advancing component concentration detection in clinical diagnostics.
