BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 2024; 15:3441-3456. [PMID: 38855670 PMCID: PMC11161348 DOI: 10.1364/boe.521500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
In histopathology, it is highly crucial to have chemical and structural information about tissues. Additionally, the segmentation of zones within a tissue plays a vital role in investigating the functions of these regions for better diagnosis and treatment. The placenta plays a vital role in embryonic and fetal development and in diagnosing some diseases associated with its dysfunction. This study provides a label-free approach to obtain the images of mature mouse placenta together with the chemical differences between the tissue compartments using Raman spectroscopy. To generate the Raman images, spectra of placental tissue were collected using a custom-built optical setup. The pre-processed spectra were analyzed using statistical and machine learning methods to acquire the Raman maps. We found that the placental regions called decidua and the labyrinth zone are biochemically distinct from the junctional zone. A histologist performed a comparison and evaluation of the Raman map with histological images of the placental tissue, and they were found to agree. The results of this study show that Raman spectroscopy offers the possibility of label-free monitoring of the placental tissue from mature mice while simultaneously revealing crucial structural information about the zones.

Abstract
Lipids play crucial roles in many biological processes. Mapping spatial distributions and examining the metabolic dynamics of different lipid subtypes in cells and tissues are critical to better understanding their roles in aging and diseases. Commonly used imaging methods (such as mass spectrometry-based, fluorescence labeling, conventional optical imaging) can disrupt the native environment of cells/tissues, have limited spatial or spectral resolution, or cannot distinguish different lipid subtypes. Here we present a hyperspectral imaging platform that integrates a Penalized Reference Matching algorithm with Stimulated Raman Scattering (PRM-SRS) microscopy. Using this platform, we visualize and identify high density lipoprotein particles in human kidney, a high cholesterol to phosphatidylethanolamine ratio inside granule cells of mouse hippocampus, and subcellular distributions of sphingosine and cardiolipin in human brain. Our PRM-SRS displays unique advantages of enhanced chemical specificity, subcellular resolution, and fast data processing in distinguishing lipid subtypes in different organs and species.

Rapid visualization of PD-L1 expression level in glioblastoma immune microenvironment via machine learning cascade-based Raman histopathology. J Adv Res 2023:S2090-1232(23)00377-6. [PMID: 38072311 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2023.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/13/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Combination immunotherapy holds promise for improving survival in responsive glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in immune microenvironment (IME) is the most important predictive biomarker for immunotherapy. Due to the heterogeneous distribution of PD-L1, post-operative histopathology fails to accurately capture its expression in residual tumors, making intra-operative diagnosis crucial for GBM treatment strategies. However, the current methods for evaluating the expression of PD-L1 are still time-consuming. OBJECTIVE To overcome the PD-L1 heterogeneity and enable rapid, accurate, and label-free imaging of PD-L1 expression level in GBM IME at the tissue level. METHODS We proposed a novel intra-operative diagnostic method, Machine Learning Cascade (MLC)-based Raman histopathology, which uses a coordinate localization system (CLS), hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), support vector machine (SVM), and similarity analysis (SA). This method enables visualization of PD-L1 expression in glioma cells, CD8+ T cells, macrophages, and normal cells in addition to the tumor/normal boundary. The study quantified PD-L1 expression levels using the tumor proportion, combined positive, and cellular composition scores (TPS, CPS, and CCS, respectively) based on Raman data. Furthermore, the association between Raman spectral features and biomolecules was examined biochemically. RESULTS The entire process from signal collection to visualization could be completed within 30 min. In an orthotopic glioma mouse model, the MLC-based Raman histopathology demonstrated a high average accuracy (0.990) for identifying different cells and exhibited strong concordance with multiplex immunofluorescence (84.31 %) and traditional pathologists' scoring (R2 ≥ 0.9). Moreover, the peak intensities at 837 and 874 cm-1 showed a positive linear correlation with PD-L1 expression level. CONCLUSIONS This study introduced a new and extendable diagnostic method to achieve rapid and accurate visualization of PD-L1 expression in GBM IMB at the tissular level, leading to great potential in GBM intraoperative diagnosis for guiding surgery and post-operative immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery systems have the potential to significantly enhance the pharmacological and therapeutic properties of drugs. These systems enhance the bioavailability and biocompatibility of pharmaceutical agents via enabling targeted delivery to specific tissues or organs. However, the efficacy and safety of these systems are largely dependent on the cellular uptake and intracellular transport of NPs. Thus, it is crucial to monitor the intracellular behavior of NPs within a single cell. Yet, it is challenging due to the complexity and size of the cell. Recently, the development of the Raman instrumentation offers a versatile tool to allow noninvasive cellular measurements. The primary objective of this review is to highlight the most recent advancements in Raman techniques (spontaneous Raman scattering, bioorthogonal Raman scattering, coherence Raman scattering, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering) when it comes to assessing the internalization of NP-based drug delivery systems and their subsequent movement within cells.

Abstract
Omics technologies have rapidly evolved with the unprecedented potential to shape precision medicine. Novel omics approaches are imperative toallow rapid and accurate data collection and integration with clinical information and enable a new era of healthcare. In this comprehensive review, we highlight the utility of Raman spectroscopy (RS) as an emerging omics technology for clinically relevant applications using clinically significant samples and models. We discuss the use of RS both as a label-free approach for probing the intrinsic metabolites of biological materials, and as a labeled approach where signal from Raman reporters conjugated to nanoparticles (NPs) serve as an indirect measure for tracking protein biomarkers in vivo and for high throughout proteomics. We summarize the use of machine learning algorithms for processing RS data to allow accurate detection and evaluation of treatment response specifically focusing on cancer, cardiac, gastrointestinal, and neurodegenerative diseases. We also highlight the integration of RS with established omics approaches for holistic diagnostic information. Further, we elaborate on metal-free NPs that leverage the biological Raman-silent region overcoming the challenges of traditional metal NPs. We conclude the review with an outlook on future directions that will ultimately allow the adaptation of RS as a clinical approach and revolutionize precision medicine.

Abstract
Defective DNA mismatch repair is one pathogenic pathway to colorectal cancer. It is characterised by microsatellite instability which provides a molecular biomarker for its detection. Clinical guidelines for universal testing of this biomarker are not met due to resource limitations; thus, there is interest in developing novel methods for its detection. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is an analytical tool able to interrogate the molecular vibrations of a sample to provide a unique biochemical fingerprint. The resulting datasets are complex and high-dimensional, making them an ideal candidate for deep learning, though this may be limited by small sample sizes. This study investigates the potential of using RS to distinguish between normal, microsatellite stable (MSS) and microsatellite unstable (MSI-H) adenocarcinoma in human colorectal samples and whether deep learning provides any benefit to this end over traditional machine learning models. A 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed to discriminate between healthy, MSI-H and MSS in human tissue and compared to a principal component analysis–linear discriminant analysis (PCA–LDA) and a support vector machine (SVM) model. A nested cross-validation strategy was used to train 30 samples, 10 from each group, with a total of 1490 Raman spectra. The CNN achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 83% and 45% compared to PCA–LDA, which achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 82% and 51%, respectively. These are competitive with existing guidelines, despite the low sample size, speaking to the molecular discriminative power of RS combined with deep learning. A number of biochemical antecedents responsible for this discrimination are also explored, with Raman peaks associated with nucleic acids and collagen being implicated.

Abstract
At present, clamping of the portal triad is a widespread surgical procedure in hospitals. Such an operation can prevent pathological changes in the organs. However, the optimal time for clamping remains unclear. To determine the starting time of irreversible morphological changes in the small intestine due to the clamping of the portal triad. The study was carried out on rats (n=94). Animals were randomly subdivided into 4 groups based on the duration of clamping of the portal triad (PT): I control group (CG; without clamping the PT; n=10); II intervention group (6-IG; clamping PT for 6 min; n=28); III intervention group (12-IG; clamping time of the PT for 12 min; n=28); IV intervention group (24-IG; clamping time of the PT for 24 min; n=28). In groups 6- IG, 12-IG, 24-IG, after clamping the portal triad, animals were withdrawn from the experiment after 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days. Morphological changes in the small intestine were assessed by measuring the diameter of the lumen of micro-vessels. In addition, the mortality in the groups was analysed as well. In the CG group, the diameter of the arterioles of the small intestine was 34±4 μm, the diameters of pre-capillaries were 15±2μm, the capillaries were 5.4±1 μm, the post-capillaries were 18±2 μm, and the diameter of the lumen of the venues was 40±3 μm. In the 6-IG group (on the 3rd day), the structure of the small intestine showed the recovery signs. By the 7th day, the indicators returned to their original values. In the 12-IG group, the parameters of the small intestine were restored on the seventh day that corresponds to the usual course of the disease. However, in the 24-IG group, changes in these organs persisted until the end of the study. No deaths were reported in the CG and 6-IG animal groups. Mortality among rats of the 12-IG group was 14.3%, while in the 24-IG group with PT clamping for 24 minutes it was 42.8%, respectively. The morphological changes in the microvasculature of the small intestine after 6-minute PT clamping showed a tendency to recover (back to the control parameters). Nevertheless, after 24 minutes of clamping, the changes in the intestinal tissue were irreversible.

Abstract
The organization of proteins is an important determinant of functionality in soft tissues. However, such organization is difficult to monitor over time in soft tissue with complex compositions. Here, we establish a method to determine the alignment of proteins in soft tissues of varying composition by polarized Raman spectroscopy (PRS). Unlike most conventional microscopy methods, PRS leverages non-destructive, label-free sample preparation. PRS data from highly aligned muscle layers were utilized to derive a weighting function for aligned proteins via principal component analysis (PCA). This trained weighting function was used as a master loading function to calculate a principal component score (PC1 Score) as a function of polarized angle for tendon, dermis, hypodermis, and fabricated collagen gels. Since the PC1 Score calculated at arbitrary angles was insufficient to determine level of alignment, we developed an Amplitude Alignment Metric by fitting a sine function to PC1 Score with respect to polarized angle. We found that our PRS-based Amplitude Alignment Metric can be used as an indicator of level of protein alignment in soft tissues in a non-destructive manner with label-free preparation and has similar discriminatory capacity among isotropic and anisotropic samples compared to microscopy-based image processing method. This PRS method does not require a priori knowledge of sample orientation nor composition and appears insensitive to changes in protein composition among different tissues. The Amplitude Alignment Metric introduced here could enable convenient and adaptable evaluation of protein alignment in soft tissues of varying protein and cell composition. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Polarized Raman spectroscopy (PRS) has been used to characterize the of organization of soft tissues. However, most of the reported applications of PRS have been on collagen-rich tissues and reliant on intensities of collagen-related vibrations. This work describes a PRS method via a multivariate analysis to characterize alignment in soft tissues composed of varying proteins. Of note, the highly aligned muscle layer of mouse skin was used to train a master function then applied to other soft tissue samples, and the degree of anisotropy in the PRS response was evaluated to obtain the level of alignment in tissues. We have demonstrated that this method supports convenient and adaptable evaluation of protein alignment in soft tissues of varying protein and cell composition.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer diagnosed globally and is also one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in both men and women. The progression of CRC is slow and is often contained in colon but the risk increases with age. Based on the high certainty that the net benefit of screening in an age group is substantial, screening for CRC is recommended beginning at the age of 50. Currently, most of the incidence is concentrated in developed countries but the rate is increasing rapidly in developing geographies. Detecting CRC at an early stage is critical to reduce morbidity and mortality. Colonoscopy is the most preferred screening method but not very widely implemented due to practical considerations such as cost involved, lack of personnel and facility. To address these concerns, Raman spectroscopy (RS) has been suggested as a viable alternative due to its potential as a rapid non-invasive diagnostic tool. Recently, several studies have been reported but many variations of RS applications in CRC exists and are not well understood by non-specialists. This review focuses particularly on developments of Raman based liquid biopsy and endoscopic studies in order to throw light on each of their significance and limitations. Necessary developments in the future to translate RS into a clinical tool for screening and diagnosis of CRC are also briefly presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is characterized by the absence of an enteric nerve system (ENS). To remove aganglionosis, bowel reconstruction is only a curative treatment. It is mandatory to identify the extent of aganglionosis during surgery. Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive chemical analysis technique that provides detailed information regarding molecular vibrations. The purpose of this study is to detect the ENS using Raman spectroscopy in the human intestine for diagnosis of HSCR. METHODS The Raman spectra of each layer of the gastrointestinal wall were collected from surgical specimens of the human rectum. Based on collected spectral data, principal component analysis was performed to determine the ENS. Subsequently, the Raman spectra of HSCR sections were analyzed. RESULTS Molecular structures of the gastrointestinal wall were characterized by Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy could discriminate between ganglion and muscle layers, and the spectra of the border between muscle layers in the aganglionosis were collagen-associated peaks. Either absence on presence of ENS was also confirmed in HSCR material. CONCLUSIONS Label-free detection of the ENS was successfully demonstrated using Raman spectroscopy. Since this is a preliminary study, the strategy which may contribute to differentiate between ganglionic and aganglionic segments using noninvasive techniques in HSCR should be evaluated by prospective studies in near future.

Abstract
Background Although microscopic assessment is still the diagnostic gold standard in pathology, non-light microscopic methods such as new imaging methods and molecular pathology have considerably contributed to more precise diagnostics. As an upcoming method, Raman spectroscopy (RS) offers a “molecular fingerprint” that could be used to differentiate tissue heterogeneity or diagnostic entities. RS has been successfully applied on fresh and frozen tissue, however more aggressively, chemically treated tissue such as formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples are challenging for RS. Methods To address this issue, we examined FFPE samples of morphologically highly heterogeneous glioblastoma (GBM) using RS in order to classify histologically defined GBM areas according to RS spectral properties. We have set up an SVM (support vector machine)-based classifier in a training cohort and corroborated our findings in a validation cohort. Results Our trained classifier identified distinct histological areas such as tumor core and necroses in GBM with an overall accuracy of 70.5% based on the spectral properties of RS. With an absolute misclassification of 21 out of 471 Raman measurements, our classifier has the property of precisely distinguishing between normal-appearing brain tissue and necrosis. When verifying the suitability of our classifier system in a second independent dataset, very little overlap between necrosis and normal-appearing brain tissue can be detected. Conclusion These findings show that histologically highly variable samples such as GBM can be reliably recognized by their spectral properties using RS. As conclusion, we propose that RS may serve useful as a future method in the pathological toolbox.

Abstract
Quinolone, pyocyanin, and rhamnolipid production were studied in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by spatially patterning mucin, a glycoprotein important to infection of lung epithelia. Mass spectrometric imaging and confocal Raman microscopy are combined to probe P. aeruginosa biofilms from mucoid and nonmucoid strains grown on lithographically defined patterns. Quinolone signatures from biofilms on patterned vs unpatterned and mucin vs mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) surfaces were compared. Microbial attachment is accompanied by secretion of 2-alkyl-4-quinolones as well as rhamnolipids from the mucoid and nonmucoid strains. Pyocyanin was also detected both in the biofilm and in the supernatant in the mucoid strain only. Significant differences in the spatiotemporal distributions of secreted factors are observed between strains and among different surface patterning conditions. The mucoid strain is sensitive to composition and patterning while the nonmucoid strain is not, and in promoting community development in the mucoid strain, nonpatterned surfaces are better than patterned, and mucin is better than MUA. Also, the mucoid strain secretes the virulence factor pyocyanin in a way that correlates with distress. A change in the relative abundance for two rhamnolipids is observed in the mucoid strain during exposure to mucin, whereas minimal variation is observed in the nonmucoid strain. Differences between mucoid and nonmucoid strains are consistent with their strain-specific phenology, in which the mucoid strain develops highly protected and withdrawn biofilms that achieve Pseudomonas quinolone signal production under limited conditions.

Abstract
Peritoneal mucosa of mesothelial cells line the abdominal cavity, surround intestinal organs and the female reproductive organs and are responsible for immunological integrity, organ functionality and regeneration. Peritoneal diseases range from inflammation, adhesions, endometriosis, and cancer. Efficient technologies to isolate and cultivate healthy patient-derived mesothelial cells with maximal purity enable the generation of capable 2D and 3D as well as in vivo-like microfluidic cell culture models to investigate pathomechanisms and treatment strategies. Here, we describe a new and easily reproducible technique for the isolation and culture of primary human mesothelial cells from laparoscopic peritoneal wash cytology. We established a protocol containing multiple washing and centrifugation steps, followed by cell culture at the highest purity and over multiple passages. Isolated peritoneal mesothelial cells were characterized in detail, utilizing brightfield and immunofluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry as well as Raman microspectroscopy and multivariate data analysis. Thereby, cytokeratin expression enabled specific discrimination from primary peritoneal human fibroblasts. Raman microspectroscopy and imaging were used to study morphology and biochemical properties of primary mesothelial cell culture compared to cryo-fixed and cryo-sectioned peritoneal tissue.

Abstract
Working flow of data mining in Raman imaging of cell system described. Pre-processing, pattern recognition and validation discussed. Machine learning methods applied at each step discussed. Single-cell visualization, cell type classification and quantification applications.
The distribution and dynamics of biomolecules in the cell is of critical interest in biological research. Raman imaging techniques have expanded our knowledge of cellular biological systems significantly. The technological developments that have led to the optimization of Raman instrumentation have helped to improve the speed of the measurement and the sensitivity. As well as instrumental developments, data mining plays a significant role in revealing the complicated chemical information contained within the spectral data. A number of data mining methods have been applied to extract the spectral information and translate them into biological information. Single-cell visualization, cell classification and biomolecular/drug quantification have all been achieved by the application of data mining to Raman imaging data. Herein we summarize the framework for Raman imaging data analysis, which involves preprocessing, pattern recognition and validation. There are multiple methods developed for each stage of analysis. The characteristics of these methods are described in relation to their application in Raman imaging of the cell. Furthermore, we summarize the software that can facilitate the implementation of these methods. Through its careful selection and application, data mining can act as an essential tool in the exploration of information-rich Raman spectral data.

Abstract
The progressive miniaturization of photonic components presents the opportunity to obtain unprecedented microscopic images of colonic polyps in real time during endoscopy. This information has the potential to act as "optical biopsy" to aid clinical decision-making, including the possibility of adopting new paradigms such as a "resect and discard" approach for low-risk lesions. The technologies discussed in this review include confocal laser endomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography, multiphoton microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and hyperspectral imaging. These are in different stages of development and clinical readiness, but all show the potential to produce reliable in vivo discrimination of different tissue types. A structured literature search of the imaging techniques for colorectal polyps has been conducted. The significant developments in endoscopic imaging were identified for each modality, and the status of current development was discussed. Of the advanced imaging techniques discussed, confocal laser endomicroscopy is in clinical use and, under optimal conditions with an experienced operator, can provide accurate histological assessment of tissue. The remaining techniques show potential for incorporation into endoscopic equipment and practice, although further component development is needed, followed by robust prospective validation of accuracy. Optical coherence tomography illustrates tissue "texture" well and gives good assessment of mucosal thickness and layers. Multiphoton microscopy produces high-resolution images at a subcellular resolution. Raman spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging are less developed endoscopically but provide a tissue "fingerprint" which can distinguish between tissue types. Molecular imaging may become a powerful adjunct to other techniques, with its ability to precisely label specific molecules within tissue and thereby enhance imaging.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of a complex mesh of proteins, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans, and is essential for maintaining the integrity and function of biological tissues. Imaging and biomolecular characterization of the ECM is critical for understanding disease onset and for the development of novel, disease-modifying therapeutics. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of Raman spectroscopy to characterize the ECM. Raman spectroscopy is a label-free vibrational technique that offers unique insights into the structure and composition of tissues and cells at the molecular level. This technique can be applied across a broad range of ECM imaging applications, which encompass in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo analysis. State-of-the-art confocal Raman microscopy imaging now enables label-free assessments of the ECM structure and composition in tissue sections with a remarkably high degree of biomolecular specificity. Further, novel fiber-optic instrumentation has opened up for clinical in vivo ECM diagnostic measurements across a range of tissue systems. A palette of advanced computational methods based on multivariate statistics, spectral unmixing, and machine learning can be applied to Raman data, allowing for the extraction of specific biochemical information of the ECM. Here, we review Raman spectroscopy techniques for ECM characterizations over a variety of exciting applications and tissue systems, including native tissue assessments (bone, cartilage, cardiovascular), regenerative medicine quality assessments, and diagnostics of disease states. We further discuss the challenges in the widespread adoption of Raman spectroscopy in biomedicine. The results of the latest discovery-driven Raman studies are summarized, illustrating the current and potential future applications of Raman spectroscopy in biomedicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic imaging is a rapidly progressing field and benefits from miniaturization of advanced imaging technologies, which may allow accurate real-time characterization of lesions. The concept of the "optical biopsy" to predict polyp histology has gained prominence in recent years and may become clinically applicable with the advent of new imaging technology. This review aims to discuss current evidence and examine the emerging technologies as applied to the optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps. METHODS A structured literature search and review has been carried out of the evidence for diagnostic accuracy of image-enhanced endoscopy and emerging endoscopic imaging technologies. The image-enhanced endoscopy techniques are reviewed, including their basic scientific principles and current evidence for effectiveness. These include the established image-enhancement technologies such as narrow-band imaging, i-scan, and Fuji intelligent chromoendoscopy. More recent technologies including optical enhancement, blue laser imaging, and linked color imaging are discussed. Adjunctive imaging techniques in current clinical use are discussed, such as autofluorescence imaging and endocytoscopy. The emerging advanced imaging techniques are reviewed, including confocal laser endomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography, and Raman spectroscopy. CONCLUSIONS Large studies of the established image-enhancement techniques show some role for the optical diagnosis of polyp histology, although results have been mixed, and at present only the technique of narrow-band imaging is appropriate for the diagnosis of low-risk polyps when used by an expert operator. Other image-enhancement techniques will require further study to validate their accuracy but show potential to support the use of a "resect-and-discard" approach to low-risk polyps. New technologies show exciting potential for real-time diagnosis, but further clinical studies in humans have yet to be performed.

Abstract
The cellular mechanisms underlying hereditary photoreceptor degeneration are still poorly understood, a problem that is exacerbated by the enormous genetic heterogeneity of this disease group. However, the last decade has yielded a wealth of new knowledge on degenerative pathways and their diversity. Notably, a central role of cGMP-signalling has surfaced for photoreceptor cell death triggered by a subset of disease-causing mutations. In this review, we examine key aspects relevant for photoreceptor degeneration of hereditary origin. The topics covered include energy metabolism, epigenetics, protein quality control, as well as cGMP- and Ca2+-signalling, and how the related molecular and metabolic processes may trigger photoreceptor demise. We compare and integrate evidence on different cell death mechanisms that have been associated with photoreceptor degeneration, including apoptosis, necrosis, necroptosis, and PARthanatos. A special focus is then put on the mechanisms of cGMP-dependent cell death and how exceedingly high photoreceptor cGMP levels may cause activation of Ca2+-dependent calpain-type proteases, histone deacetylases and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase. An evaluation of the available literature reveals that a large group of patients suffering from hereditary photoreceptor degeneration carry mutations that are likely to trigger cGMP-dependent cell death, making this pathway a prime target for future therapy development. Finally, an outlook is given into technological and methodological developments that will with time likely contribute to a comprehensive overview over the entire metabolic complexity of photoreceptor cell death. Building on such developments, new imaging technology and novel biomarkers may be used to develop clinical test strategies, that fully consider the genetic heterogeneity of hereditary retinal degenerations, in order to facilitate clinical testing of novel treatment approaches.

Abstract
HIV-positive individuals are at increased risk for precancerous anal squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs). Anal cytology and digital rectal examination are performed as screening tools, but extensive training and appropriate instruments are required to follow up on an abnormal anal cytology. Thus, novel approaches to SIL evaluation could improve better health care follow-up by efficient and timely diagnosis to offer treatment options. Recently, Raman-enhanced spectroscopy (RESpect) has emerged as a potential new tool for early identification of SIL. RESpect is a noninvasive, label-free, laser-based technique that identifies molecular composition of tissues and cells. HIV-serodiscordant couples had anal biopsies obtained during high-resolution anoscopy. RESpect was performed on the specimens. Principal component analysis of the data identified differences between normal and abnormal tissue as well as HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals of each couple even with similar pathologies. RESpect has the potential to change the paradigm of anal pathology diagnosis and could provide insight into different pathways leading to SIL in HIV-serodiscordant couples.

Abstract
Oncological applications of Raman spectroscopy have been contemplated, pursued, and developed at academic level for at least 25 years. Published studies aim to detect pre-malignant lesions, detect cancer in less invasive stages, reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies and guide surgery towards the complete removal of the tumour with adequate tumour resection margins. This review summarizes actual clinical needs in oncology that can be addressed by spontaneous Raman spectroscopy and it provides an overview over the results that have been published between 2007 and 2017. An analysis is made of the current status of translation of these results into clinical practice. Despite many promising results, most of the applications addressed in scientific studies are still far from clinical adoption and commercialization. The main hurdles are identified, which need to be overcome to ensure that in the near future we will see the first Raman spectroscopy-based solutions being used in routine oncologic diagnostic and surgical procedures.

Abstract
The great capability of the label-free classification of tissue via vibrational spectroscopy, like Raman or infrared imaging, is shown in numerous publications (review: Diem et al., J. Biophotonics, 2013, 6, 855-886). Herein, we present a new approach, virtual staining, that improves the Raman spectral histopathology (SHP) images of colorectal cancer tissue by combining the integrated Raman intensity image in the C-H stretching region (2800-3050 cm-1) with the pseudo-colour Raman image. This allows the display of fine structures such as the filamentous composition of muscle tissue. The morphology of the virtually stained images is in agreement with the gold standard in medical diagnosis, the haematoxylin-eosin staining. The virtual staining image also represents the whole biochemical fingerprint, and several tissue components including carcinoma were identified automatically with high sensitivity and specificity. For fast tissue classifications, a similar approach was applied on coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectral data that is faster and therefore potentially more suitable for clinical applications.

Abstract
For several decades, a multitude of studies have documented the ability of Raman spectroscopy (RS) to differentiate between tissue types and identify pathological changes to tissues in a range of diseases. Furthermore, spectroscopists have illustrated that the technique is capable of detecting disease-specific alterations to tissue before morphological changes become apparent to the pathologist. This study draws comparisons between the information that is obtainable using RS alongside immunohistochemistry (IHC), since histological examination is the current GOLD standard for diagnosing a wide range of diseases. Here, Raman spectral maps were generated using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded colonic tissue sections from healthy patients and spectral signatures from principal components analysis (PCA) were compared with several IHC markers to confirm the validity of their localizations. PCA loadings identified a number of signatures that could be assigned to muscle, DNA and mucin glycoproteins and their distributions were confirmed with antibodies raised against anti-Desmin, anti-Ki67 and anti-MUC2, respectively. The comparison confirms that there is excellent correlation between RS and the IHC markers used, demonstrating that the technique is capable of detecting compositional changes in tissue in a label-free manner, eliminating the need for antibodies.

Abstract
The effects of indigo naturalis (IN), which is a traditional Chinese herbal formulation, have been clinically demonstrated in treating refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). The present study aimed to verify the effects and mechanisms of IN in experimental UC rats. A total of 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups: Chow, model, high-dose IN, medium-dose IN, low-dose IN and mesalazine (a bowel-specific aminosalicylate drug) groups. The models were administered 3.5% dextran sodium sulphate solution for 7 days. The treatment groups were administered IN or mesalazine and then sacrificed and sampled on day 8. Disease activity index (DAI), histological damage score (HDS) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were used to evaluate the severity of UC. Colon and serum cytokines were detected using liquid-phase chip technology and the expression of occludin protein in colonic mucosa was assessed by immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. The results indicated that the oral administration of IN may reduce DAI, HDS and MPO activity. IN also reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines and increased the expression of colonic mucosal repair-related cytokines and occludin protein. These results highlight the potential of IN as a therapeutic agent for treating UC through its action of inflammation control and colonic mucosal damage repair.
