Owing to its inherent advantages—such as being non-destructive, rapid, highly molecule-specific, and minimally interfered with by moisture—Raman spectroscopy has been widely adopted in the fields of skin barrier function assessment, monitoring the transdermal penetration of active cosmetic ingredients, and the identification and quality control of cosmetic products. Despite these strengths, the practical application of this technique faces a significant bottleneck: the strong fluorescence background generated by endogenous skin components and exogenous cosmetic additives. Endogenous skin substances, such as structural proteins (e.g., collagen and elastin), metabolic coenzymes (e.g., nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and pigments (e.g., melanin), together with exogenous cosmetic constituents like organic colorants, chemical sunscreens, and fragrances, often possess strong absorption and emission characteristics. When excited by lasers, these components produce a fluorescence background that can be 10⁶ to 10⁸ times stronger than the Raman scattering signals, effectively masking the inherently weak vibrational fingerprint information. In recent years, driven by the rapid development of optoelectronic hardware and artificial intelligence algorithms, fluorescence suppression strategies have evolved from isolated, single-method approaches into comprehensive, multi-level synergistic systems. These systems are categorized into three distinct tiers: sample preparation, signal acquisition, and data processing. At the sample preparation level, techniques such as photobleaching and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are employed to eliminate or bypass the generation of fluorescence at the source. At the signal acquisition level, instrumental improvements—including the use of long-wavelength near-infrared excitation (typically 785 nm or 1 064 nm), confocal spatial filtering, and shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS)— are utilized to physically isolate Raman signals from the fluorescence background. Furthermore, at the data processing level, numerical baseline correction methods such as polynomial fitting, penalized least squares (e.g., airPLS, arPLS), wavelet transform, and derivative algorithms are increasingly integrated into the analytical pipeline to extract Raman spectral features from mixed signals without increasing hardware costs or acquisition time. This review provides a systematic categorization and critical evaluation of these fluorescence suppression methods, detailing their underlying principles, technical advantages, and inherent limitations in diverse experimental setups. By focusing on critical application scenarios—including skin barrier assessment, percutaneous absorption monitoring, the routine quality control of cosmetics, and the emerging field of portable on-site detection—this paper explores the current state of technique selection and optimization. Finally, the article discusses future development trends, emphasizing the necessity of constructing adaptive, tiered suppression strategies, developing intelligent and automated data processing algorithms, and promoting the integration of portable, multi-modal diagnostic devices. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive technical reference to facilitate the transition of Raman spectroscopy from a specialized laboratory tool into a routine, robust analytical platform for advancements in skin science and cosmetic research.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is an increasingly serious chronic liver disease worldwide,with complex pathogenesis and many challenges in diagnosis and treatment.In recent years,genome-wide studies have revealed the important roles of epigenetic modifications in the development of NAFLD,especially the involvement of imprinted genes.The parental origin effect of NAFLD suggests that imprinted genes play a key role in its pathogenesis.The Dlk1-Dio3 gene cluster,as one of the largest clusters of imprinted genes,has become a focus of research because of its central role in embryonic devel-opment and metabolic regulation.This review explores the structure and function of the Dlk1-Dio3 gene cluster and its potential role in NAFLD pathogenesis.This gene cluster plays a key role in the"second strike"of NAFLD through a complex regulatory network that affects biological processes such as lipid me-tabolism,glucose metabolism,inflammatory response and oxidative stress in the liver.Specifically,DLK1 acts as a negative regulator,inhibiting adipocyte differentiation and thus reducing hepatic lipid ac-cumulation,while DIO3 promotes adipocyte differentiation and increases hepatic lipid accumulation by regulating thyroid hormone conversion.In addition,the Dlk1-Dio3 gene cluster regulates lipid metabolism by modulating multiple microRNAs(e.g.miR-370,miR-122,etc.).miR-370 exacerbates lipid accu-mulation by inhibiting CPT1α;miR-122 up-regulates SREBP-1c and promotes fatty acid synthesis;and miR-379/410 clusters increase lipid scavenging capacity by decreasing lipid accumulation.Long non-coding RNA MEG3 also plays an important role in NAFLD.meg3 promotes fatty acid oxidation and re-duces lipid droplet accumulation by up-regulating SIRT6,and attenuates lipid synthesis by inhibiting the Wnt/mTOR signaling pathway through binding to miR-21.In terms of insulin resistance,DLK1 inhibits gluconeogenesis and promotes fatty acid oxidation by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway,thereby reducing hepatic lipid burden.DIO3,on the other hand,affects insulin sensitivity by regulating thyroid hormones and promotes the development of NAFLD.Meanwhile,the Dlk1-Dio3 gene cluster also plays an important role in regulating oxidative stress and inflammatory responses,and DLK1 attenuates hepatic oxi-dative stress injury by inhibiting inflammatory factor expression and activating antioxidant signaling.Taken together,the Dlk1-Dio3 gene cluster plays a multidimensional role in the occurrence and develop-ment of NAFLD,providing potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that severely affects the health of the elderly, marked by its incurability, high prevalence, and extended latency period. The current approach to AD prevention and treatment emphasizes early detection and intervention, particularly during the pre-AD stage of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which provides an optimal “window of opportunity” for intervention. Clinical detection methods for MCI, such as cerebrospinal fluid monitoring, genetic testing, and imaging diagnostics, are invasive and costly, limiting their broad clinical application. Speech, as a vital cognitive output, offers a new perspective and tool for computer-assisted analysis and screening of cognitive decline. This is because elderly individuals with cognitive decline exhibit distinct characteristics in semantic and audio information, such as reduced lexical richness, decreased speech coherence and conciseness, and declines in speech rate, voice rhythm, and hesitation rates. The objective presence of these semantic and audio characteristics lays the groundwork for computer-based screening of cognitive decline. Speech information is primarily sourced from databases or collected through tasks involving spontaneous speech, semantic fluency, and reading, followed by analysis using computer models. Spontaneous language tasks include dialogues/interviews, event descriptions, narrative recall, and picture descriptions. Semantic fluency tasks assess controlled retrieval of vocabulary items, requiring participants to extract information at the word level during lexical search. Reading tasks involve participants reading a passage aloud. Summarizing past research, the speech characteristics of the elderly can be divided into two major categories: semantic information and audio information. Semantic information focuses on the meaning of speech across different tasks, highlighting differences in vocabulary and text content in cognitive impairment. Overall, discourse pragmatic disorders in AD can be studied along three dimensions: cohesion, coherence, and conciseness. Cohesion mainly examines the use of vocabulary by participants, with a reduction in the use of nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adjectives in AD patients. Coherence assesses the ability of participants to maintain topics, with a decrease in the number of subordinate clauses in AD patients. Conciseness evaluates the information density of participants, with AD patients producing shorter texts with less information compared to normal elderly individuals. Audio information focuses on acoustic features that are difficult for the human ear to detect. There is a significant degradation in temporal parameters in the later stages of cognitive impairment; AD patients require more time to read the same paragraph, have longer vocalization times, and produce more pauses or silent parts in their spontaneous speech signals compared to normal individuals. Researchers have extracted audio and speech features, developing independent systems for each set of features, achieving an accuracy rate of 82% for both, which increases to 86% when both types of features are combined, demonstrating the advantage of integrating audio and speech information. Currently, deep learning and machine learning are the main methods used for information analysis. The overall diagnostic accuracy rate for AD exceeds 80%, and the diagnostic accuracy rate for MCI also exceeds 80%, indicating significant potential. Deep learning techniques require substantial data support, necessitating future expansion of database scale and continuous algorithm upgrades to transition from laboratory research to practical product implementation.
