Compared to non-optical imaging modalities, Raman mapping offers a more sensitive means of directly assessing the chemical composition of cartilage in three-dimensional space and the potential to monitor cartilage degeneration to inform intervention and treatment strategies. Herein, we report the application of Raman spectroscopic methods <em>ex vivo</em> and at arthroscopy to identify molecular alterations in cartilage specimens containing minor focal lesions characteristic of the early disease phase. Our initial <em>ex vivo</em> analysis, obtained by single-point Raman spectroscopy of cartilage samples, supports previous findings based on S-O stretching vibration bands associated with sulphated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs). We extended the analyses to the high-wavenumber region where we observed that vibrational bands assigned to C-H and O-H stretching modes discriminated early cartilage alterations from healthy cartilage samples. Furthermore, we performed a proof-of-concept in-clinic study using a custom-built optical probe to acquire Raman spectral measurements for the first time in patients undergoing arthroscopy of knee joints. Spectra were obtained with adequate signal-to-noise ratios that similarly discriminated between lesion and adjacent cartilage sites and identified reductions in sGAGs in apparently healthy cartilage. Building on this, we present initial results from Raman mapping to spatially resolve the molecular constituents of cartilage through its depth and across a lesion. Mapping revealed a non-uniform and reduced sGAG distribution within the lesion and peripheral cartilage that was otherwise visually normal, similar to the in-clinic observations, showing that the degradative influence of the lesion extended beyond its border. This was accompanied by a decreased fluorescence signal intensity, which suggests that fluorescence may provide valuable information as an adjunct to the Raman signal in discriminating normal and degenerating cartilage. This work demonstrates the value of Raman mapping over single-point Raman measurements for the analysis of the anisotropy of articular cartilage and highlights the potential of the technology for <em>in vivo</em> articular joint arthroscopy applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100277,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Spectroscopy","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100012"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.clispe.2021.100012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137156997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Infrared technique, however, normally requires tissue sections to be mounted on infrared transparent slides. Unfortunately, these slides are both expensive and particularly frangible. In addition, mounting samples on specialist slides is an additional step in the sample preparation workflow, which ideally should be avoided. Applying infrared imaging directly to the H&amp;E stained tissue on the glass slides that are normally used by pathologists, could help the infrared imaging technique be incorporated into current cancer diagnosis work flow and lower the total cost of detection. The disadvantage of using glass slides is that the spectral range available is restricted to just the high wavenumber region (2500–3600 cm⁻¹). In this work a study has been conducted on 120 breast tissues biopsy cores from different patients, to demonstrate that with the limited spectral information, breast cancer can be identified from the H&amp;E glass slides. A four-class histological Adboost classification model has been constructed. Optimisation of the classification threshold was carried out to reduce the number of false negatives. Using a threshold of 0.1 the cancerous cores could be detected with an accuracy of 95.8 %. This was incorporated into a simple traffic light system that could be used as a prescreening tool. This work, demonstrating the use of infrared spectral pathology on standard pathology samples slide, thus goes some way to overcome one of the barriers to successful translation of the infrared technique into the clinic.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100277,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Spectroscopy","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100008"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.clispe.2021.100008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"98736442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we evalulate the ability of Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy combined with multivariate data analysis to classify human serum samples based on the presence of HBV and HCV infection. Sera samples were prepared using three different methodologies: i) Sera depsoited onto glass cover slips, airdried and placed onto the ATR crystal. ii) Whole serum dried directly onto the ATR crystal. iii) Serum separated into high and low molecular weight compounds using a filtration approach and the high molecular weight fraction placed directly onto the ATR-FTIR diamond window and dried.

For HCV vs control the sensitivity and specificity was 51.3 % and 90.9 % (LV 11), respectively. In the second set of experiments the serum samples were dried directly onto the ATR diamond.
