Abstract
Early diagnosis of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (nRDS) is important in reducing the mortality of preterm babies. Knowledge of the ratio of two components of lung surfactant, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), and sphingomyelin (SM) can be used as biomarkers of lung maturity and inform treatment. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool to analyze vibrational spectra of organic molecules which requires only limited sample preparation steps and, unlike IR spectroscopy, is not masked by water absorption. In this paper, we explore the potential of using Raman spectroscopy as a tool to estimate the ratio of DPPC and SM from aqueous vesicles of binary mixture of DPPC and SM. We demonstrate that the ratio of DPPC and SM can be estimated by estimating the ratio of intensity of CO stretch of DPPC and CC stretch of SM as well as CO stretch of DPPC and amide I of SM. Further, we employ a partial least squares regression (PLSR) model to automate the estimation and demonstrate that PLSR method can predict the DPPC and SM ratio with an R2 value of 0.968.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Raman Spectroscopy is an international journal dedicated to the publication of original research at the cutting edge of all areas of science and technology related to Raman spectroscopy. The journal seeks to be the central forum for documenting the evolution of the broadly-defined field of Raman spectroscopy that includes an increasing number of rapidly developing techniques and an ever-widening array of interdisciplinary applications.
Such topics include time-resolved, coherent and non-linear Raman spectroscopies, nanostructure-based surface-enhanced and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopies of molecules, resonance Raman to investigate the structure-function relationships and dynamics of biological molecules, linear and nonlinear Raman imaging and microscopy, biomedical applications of Raman, theoretical formalism and advances in quantum computational methodology of all forms of Raman scattering, Raman spectroscopy in archaeology and art, advances in remote Raman sensing and industrial applications, and Raman optical activity of all classes of chiral molecules.
