温度与电磁参数协同影响胰岛素分子构象与功能的光谱学方法研究

近年来,脉冲电磁辐射和弱电磁辐射的生物效应已引起人们的关注.开展了众多的病理学调查和实验研究.但是研究结果并不一致,学术界存在众多争议.由于脉冲电磁辐射和弱电磁辐射不能引起被辐照生物样品产生明显的温升效应(温升小于0.1℃),不能用电磁辐射的热效应机理来解释这类生物效应.因此人们往往称之为"非热效应".文章应用荧光光谱和拉曼光谱方法研究脉冲电场对胰岛素分子构象变化影响的结果表明:(1)尽管这类电磁辐射不会引起被辐照生物样品的温度产生明显变化(0.1℃),但是辐照时的环境温度变化则能改变辐照实验的结果.(2)环境温度能对胰岛素分子结构中的链间二硫键,C-C键的振动等在脉冲电场作用下的变化产生明显的影响,从而对脉冲电场引发的胰岛素的构象变化产生影响.这表明对于"非热效应",表征热的量度的温度,仍是脉冲和弱电磁场辐照生物效应研究中值得关注的极重要参数.     

Near-field Raman spectroscopy of biological nanomaterials by in situ laser-induced synthesis of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy tips

We report a new approach in tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) in which TERS-active tips with enhancement factors of ～10(-5)× can be rapidly (1-3 min) produced in situ by laser-induced synthesis of silver nanoparticles at the tip apex. The technique minimizes the risks of tip contamination and damage during handling and provides in situ feedback control, which allows the prediction of the tip performance. We show that TERS tips produced by this technique enable the measurement of spatially resolved TERS spectra of self-assembled peptide nanotubes with a spatial resolution of ～20 nm.

二维红外相关光谱法研究温度对交联胶原结构的影响

采用傅里叶红外光谱和二维相关分析研究了改性前后胶原在升温(25～115℃)过程中结构的变化。结果显示,改性前后胶原的特征吸收峰强度降低,峰值向低波数移动,其中酰胺II带的变化最明显,降低了～10cm-1,表明维系胶原三股螺旋结构稳定的氢键被破坏,结构发生改变。在1 515cm-1处自相关峰强度最强,说明温度对酰胺II带的影响最大。与未改性胶原相比,改性胶原的相关程度更弱,表明改性胶原结构受温度影响要小,交联提高了胶原的热稳定性;改性后胶原结构变化的顺序也不一样。由此可见,二维红外相关分析法能提供由温度引起的胶原结构动态变化的微观信息,对进一步研究改性胶原结构和功能之间的关系有一定的意义。     

The investigation of single bacteria by means of fluorescence staining and Raman spectroscopy

The successful combination of Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence labelling of single bacterial cells is presented. The results show that the selected dyes (DAPI, SYTO 9, CFDA, SYTOX blue and PI) in most cases do not influence the Raman spectrum of a labelled bacterium significantly compared to an unstained bacterium spectrum. The labelling of bacteria offers the possibility of live/dead or biotic/abiotic differentiation prior to a Raman identification step. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Combined coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy and linear Raman spectroscopy for simultaneous temperature and multiple species measurements

The simultaneous application of pure rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) and vibrational linear Raman spectroscopy (LRS) for the measurement of temperature and species concentrations in combustion systems is demonstrated. In addition to the standard rotational CARS experimental setup, only one detection system (spectrometer and intensified CCD camera) for the collection of the LRS signals was applied. The emission of the broadband dye laser used for CARS was shifted to the deep red to avoid interferences with the LRS signals located in the visible region. First experimental results from a vaporizing propane spray using an engine injection system are shown.     

Simultaneous Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy of single conjugated polymer chains

Simultaneous surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and fluorescence is demonstrated from single conjugated polymer chains. As resonance enhancement of SERS depends on the spectral overlap of the polymer's absorption and the incident laser, resonance Raman and fluorescence effectively probe the absorbing and emitting part of the polymer, respectively. The optical phonon energies change along the polymer chain, providing a window to spatially track excited state relaxation. Whereas a mean spatial redistribution of the excitation is witnessed by a change in vibronic fingerprint following interchromophoric energy transfer, intrachromophoric exciton self-trapping leaves the vibrations unchanged.     

Study of polycrystalline boron-doped diamond films by Raman spectroscopy and optical absorption spectroscopy

The effect of the degree of doping polycrystalline diamond films by boron on their Raman and absorption spectra has been studied in the visible region (from 200 to 1000 nm). As the boron concentration increases in a polycrystalline diamond film, its Raman spectrum exhibits a number of new specific features caused by the effect of boron atoms on the diamond lattice. The dependences that relate these features to the boron concentration in the films are given. Moreover, the absorption spectra of the films have revealed a peak whose maximum corresponds to photons with an energy near 2 eV.     

三硼酸铋晶体及其高温熔体结构的拉曼光谱研究

测量了BiB3O6晶体从常温到熔融态的拉曼光谱,考察了其温致结构变化和预测了熔体的结构基元。同时,采用量子化学从头计算和密度泛函理论对拉曼光谱进行了计算和结构分析。结果表明,随着温度的升高,对包含阳离子Bi的外部晶格和[BO3]3-硼氧三角形基团结构的温致结构影响有限,却有效地削弱了[BO4]5-硼氧四面体基团结构,其松弛度增加,稳定性变差,并在熔体结构中彻底消失。研究表明BiB3O6熔体主要以硼氧六元环[B6O12]6-的形式存在,阳离子Bi起电荷平衡作用,其氧配位数为3,有别于晶体中的6。     

Raman spectroscopy of synthetic,geological and biological vaterite: a Raman spectroscopic study

Raman spectroscopy was used to study vaterite samples of biological, geological and synthetic origin. The Raman band positions and the full width at half‐maximum (FWHM) of the lattice modes and the internal modes of the carbonate ion of all specimens show no significant differences between vaterites of different origin. With increasing Mg concentrations, synthetic vaterite samples show increasing FWHM in the region of the lattice modes and the three ν₁ bands, whereas no change in luminescence was detected. In contrast, in situ measurements of vaterite areas in freshwater cultured pearls (FWCPs) by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) together with the Raman spectra obtained at the same points show that the luminescence intensity in biological samples is affected by the magnesium content. The Raman spectroscopic features of vaterite and parisite‐(Ce) are compared, and their similarities suggest that the structure of vaterite contains at least three crystallographically independent carbonate groups and similar carbonate group layers. A band at 263 cm⁻¹ is observed for the first time in this study, whereas it could be demonstrated that bands previously reported at 130 and 190 cm⁻¹ do not belong to vaterite.

Della Robbia blue glaze: micro‐Raman temperature study and X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy characterization

Micro‐Raman temperature study and X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy were used for characterization of the blue glaze on Saint John the Baptist—majolica terracotta relief attributed to Andrea Della Robbia and Saint John the Baptist with Cross—majolica terracotta statue attributed to Giovanni Della Robbia. Both objects are on permanent exhibition in the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, FL. This study proves that the detection of the 548 cm⁻¹ Raman band alone cannot serve as evidence for presence of lazurite crystallites in the pigment in the glaze. It was established that the famous Della Robbia blue is due to the combined effect of Co Ni Cu Zn atoms and S₃⁻ ions embedded in a lead silicate matrix. It is proposed that the Della Robbia family used Co‐containing sulfide ores as a source for manufacturing their blue pigments. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

使用激光共聚焦显微拉曼光谱仪测取膀胱肿瘤和正常膀胱组织的拉曼特征谱,应用主成分分析/支持向量机(principal component analysis,PCA/support vector machines,SVM)分类器对数据进行判别分析,最后使用弃一交叉验证法(leave-one-out cross validation,LOOCV)测试判别结果的准确度。结果发现膀胱肿瘤组织与正常膀胱组织的拉曼光谱存在明显差异,肿瘤组织在782和1 583cm-1等核酸特征谱带处峰高显著增强,而正常组织在1 061,1 295,2 849,2 881cm-1等蛋白质和脂质特征谱带处峰高显著增强。PCA/SVM可良好区分膀胱肿瘤组织和正常膀胱组织的拉曼光谱,LOOCV测试分类器显示肿瘤诊断的敏感度86.7%、特异度87.5%、阳性预测值92.9%、阴性预测值77.8%。由此得出结论:拉曼光谱可以良好诊断膀胱肿瘤的体外组织,展现了优越的临床应用前景。

Results of investigation of the optical properties of zinc complexes of mesotetraphenylporphyrin and monopyridyltriphenylporphyrin in impurity-free organic solvent are presented. Analyses of absorption and emission spectra and fluoresence decay kinetics in terms of both a sum of exponentials and using simulation of energy-transformation processes in a tetramer-type Zn-porphyrin complex compound are carried out. Reported at the VIIIth International Conference on Spectroscopy of Porphyrins and Their Analogs, Minsk, September 22–26, 1998. Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 66, No. 4, pp. 549–552, July–August, 1999.     

A low temperature phase transition study of orthohombic hydrazonium sulphate by Raman spectroscopy

The Raman spectra of microcrystalline compound are reported for the temperature range 25–220° C. Orthohombic hydrazonium sulphate undergoes a low temperature phase transition. The phase transition involves the shattering of the crystals from which new internal frequencies are recorded indicating a new distortion of the two ions. When warming up the compound, it stays in a non-orthorhombic metastable state characteristic of the low temperature phase.     

Photophysical study on daunorubicin by fluorescence spectroscopy

Steady-state fluorescence and time-resolved fluorescence intensity decays of daunorubicin have been studied in polar solvents and in aqueous solution by a time-correlated single-photon counting technique. Daunorubicin, quinizarin, and 2,3-dimethylquinizarin show bi-exponential decay. The decay of daunorubicin becomes tri-exponential in the presence of adenosine 5′ monophosphate. The quenching of the fluorescence of daunorubicin by adenosine 5′ monophosphate exhibits downward deviation from the Stern-Volmer linearity, suggesting the existence of fluorophore in two conformers in the ground state differing only in the extent of hydrogen bonding.     

Study on the interaction between theasinesin and human serum albumin by fluorescence spectroscopy

The binding properties on theasinesin to human serum albumin (HSA) have been studied for the first time using fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with UV–vis absorbance spectroscopy. The results showed that theasinesin strongly quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching procedure, and non-radiation energy transfer happened within molecules. The number of binding site was 1, and the efficiency of Förster energy transfer provided a distance of 4.64 nm between tryptophan and theasinesin binding site. At 298, 310 and 323 K, the quenching constants of HSA–theasinesin system were 2.55×10³, 2.16×10³ and 1.75×10³ mol L⁻¹. ΔH^θ, ΔS^θ and ΔG^θ were obtained based on the quenching constants and thermodynamic theory (ΔH^θ<0, ΔS^θ>0 and ΔG^θ<0). These results indicated that hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions are the mainly binding forces in the theasinesin–HSA system. In addition, the results obtained from synchronous fluorescence spectra showed that the binding of theasinesin with HSA could induce conformational changes in HSA.     

Multipoint temperature and oxygen-concentration measurements using rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy

A novel technique for coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) measurements in multiple points is presented. With a system of cylindrical lenses, each laser beam is split into several focused beams, yielding separate planar boxcars configurations. Spectrally resolved CARS signals are detected at different heights on the CCD chip. With dual-broadband rotational CARS the setup is demonstrated for quantitative measurements of temperature- and oxygen-concentration profiles. The technique was demonstrated for three points only, but it can be extended to more points by use of special optics; this choice must be based on a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio in all points for the actual measurement condition.     

拉曼光谱的荧光背景扣除及其用于药物聚类分析

拉曼光谱分析中,由于有机分子或样品中污染物的荧光影响,常会使拉曼光谱产生高背景信号,以致其拉曼光谱吸收信号被淹没。利用自行开发的软件包baselineWavelet,本文对醋酸泼尼松片和格列本脲片的拉曼光谱进行了荧光背景扣除研究,采用主成分分析和随机森林算法对它们进行聚类分析,得到了较好的结果。通过这2种药物的拉曼光谱聚类分析结果,检验了该背景扣除算法的有效性和准确性,并讨论了荧光背景对拉曼光谱聚类分析的影响。结果说明,荧光背景对拉曼光谱聚类分析影响很大,在分析前必须预先扣除。
