Raman spectroscopy is an optical technology based on the theory of Raman scattering, which is generally used in the research of medical and biological science. Raman spectroscopy can be used to detect the molecular structures and components of proteins, lipids, DNA, and other biological molecules, and provide substantial information about molecules. Thus, Raman spectroscopy is generally considered a "molecular fingerprint", and it has exceptional advantages in medical research. Moreover, this technique can reflect the changes in molecular structures and detect the alterations of chemical constituents in the samples. Raman spectroscopy, given its high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of the biological samples, has been successfully used to detect and diagnose diseases in numerous sites, such as skin, oral mucosa, breast, head, and neck. In this paper, we introduce the application of Raman spectroscopy in stomatology by conducting a review of the literature.

Objective The double-cavity balloon oppressor surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) has been utilized in past decades. But we have not yet a domestic device available. Present study was to investigate the effectiveness of double-cavity balloon oppressor using a domestic device in primary RRD surgery. Methods This clinical trial was a prospective study. Total 74 cases of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD) (74 eyes) were enrolled. Double-cavity balloon oppressor surgery was performed in 40 eyes of 40 patients, and conventional segmental scleral buckling surgery was used in 34 eyes of 34 patients. The mean operative time, retinal attachment rate, vision and astigmatism change after operation between two different operative fashions were compared. The intra- and post-operative complication was discussed. The mean follow-up period was 4. 5 months. Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients before clinical trial. Results The retinal anatomic attachment rate was 92. 5% (37/40) in balloon oppressor surgery group and 91. 1% (31/34) in conventional surgery group, and there were no significant difference in retinal attachment rate among PVR grade A, B and C1 (P ＞0. 05) . The postoperative best corrected visual acuity (operative 3 months) was improved in 29 eyes(72. 5%) after balloon oppressor surgery and 25 eyes(73. 5%) after conventional surgery, showing insignificant difference between them (P ＞ 0. 05) . The mean surgical time was about (27. 00 ±8. 60) minutes in balloon oppressor surgery group and (47. 00 ± 14. 30) minutes in conventional surgery group(t =7. 41, P ＜0. 01) . Cylinder diopter change after surgery was insignificantly different between before and after operation in balloon oppressor surgery group (0. 52 ± 0. 30 D vs 0. 81 ± 0. 41 D, P ＞ 0. 05), however, there was a significant difference in cylinder diopter change between preoperation and postoperation (0. 65 ± 0. 32 D vs 1. 83 ± 0. 69 D, P ＜ 0. 05) . Conclusion Double-cavity balloon oppressor surgery for RRD is accurate and reliable. This operation procedure offer an economic, efficient and convenient choice for treatment of RRD.

Objective To study the relationship of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),homocysteine (Hcy) and blood pressure variability in elderly patients with essential hypertension.Methods As the total coefficient of variation of 24-hour systolic blood pressure variability(BPsVC),the patients with essential hypertension were divided into two groups:the high-BPsVC group(n =72 cases) and the low-BPsVC group(n =48 cases).The hs-CRP and Hcy in serum in patients were detected.Results The hs-CRP were (2.52 ± 0.78) mg/L in the high-BPsVC group and (1.59 ± 0.61) mg/L in the low-BPsVC group.There was a significant difference (t =0.2766,P ＜ 0.05).The Hcy were(15.6 ±6.2) μmol/L in the high-BPsVC group and(13.7 ± 5.9) μmol/L in the low-BPsVC group.There was a significant difference(t =0.3742,P ＜ 0.05).Condusion There was a close relationship between hsCRP,Hcy and blood pressure variability in elderly patients with essential hypertension.

Objective To study the effectiveness of valsartan on the insulin resistance and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) of patients with essential hypertension.Methods One hundred and thirty patients with essential hypertension were randomly divided into two groups,the control group (n =65 cases) and the treatment group (n =65 cases).The patients in the control group were treated through amlodipine,while the patients in the treatment group were treated valsartan.They were all treated for six months.The insulin resistance(IR) and hs-CRP were compared.Results The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were decreased after treatment in both groups (t =6.3706,6.4418,7.0519,7.2577,all P ＜ 0.01).There wasn't a significant difference between two groups (P ＞0.05).The IR and hs-CRP were decreased in both groups (t =6.3478,1.9977,4.0581,12.0722,all P ＜ 0.01).There was a significant difference between two groups (t =7.6049,4.6893,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Valsartan can improve the insulin resistance and hs-CRP,which weren't dependent on lowing blood pressure.

Objective　To construct an anti-LPS single chain phage antibody library in mice for further biomedical works. Methods　Total RNA was extracted from splenic cells for reverse transcription after BALB/C mice had been immunized with pure LPS for 4 weeks. The designed primers were used to amplify the variable region genes of both heavy and light chain (VH,VL) with polymerase chain reaction. The VH and VL were then conjugated to form a single chain of variable fragment (ScFv) by a linker. The ScFv was cut by NotⅠ and SfiⅠ and then ligated into a pCANTAB5E phagemid vector which was digested with the same restriction enzymes. The ligated vector was then tranfected into the competent E.coli TG1 cells. Four TG1 clones were randomly selected to detect the exotic DNA. Results　The titer of anti-LPS in murine sera was 1∶12 800. The concentration of total RNA was 12.3813 μg/ml. The length of the fragments were 340 bp for VH, 320 bp for VL and 800 bp for ScFv respectively. 1.9×107 clones were grown after transfection and one from the four randomly selected clones was identified to contain the exotic DNA. Conclusion　A 4.75×106 murine anti-LPS single chain phage antibody library was successfully constructed.
