2. Experimental design, materials and methods

2.1. Subjects

11 healthy and 9 volunteers with CVD pathology were involved in study. All volunteers had signed informed consent and were approved by Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University Independence Local Ethic Committee (Protocol № 8, May 16, 2019). All cardiological patients had a history of myocardial infarction, arterial hypertension, and were on antiplatelet therapy. Smoking patients were excluded from this study.

2.2. Sample preparation

Fresh venous blood samples were taken from healthy individuals and individuals with cardiovascular pathology. Blood samples were placed into centrifugal tubes containing EDTA to avoid blood coagulation. Then the fresh blood was centrifuged at 60 g for 15 min to separate platelet-rich plasma, and then the plasma at 60 g for 15 min was deposited onto the blood pellet. Platelets were finally collected by further centrifugation of the supernatant at 1500 g for 15 min. All the centrifugations were carried out at 4 °C. After platelet preparation the samples were immediately taken to be examined by SERS spectroscopy.

2.3. SERS substrates fabrication

Anodizing of titanium plates with a thickness of 0.1 mm was carried out on the laboratory hand-made equipment with a current source and a galvanic bath, in which titanium electrodes were immersed. An aqueous solution of KOH (5%) was used as the electrolyte. Anodizing was carried out at a current density of j = 30 mA/cm2 for 5 minutes. The titanium surface became a blue-colored after anodizing. Gold nanoparticles were deposited on these surfaces.

Gold nanoparticles were fabricated by the femtosecond laser ablation of gold plate in distilled water on the AVESTA unit, described in detail in Ref. [5]. The obtained nanoparticles have a plasmon resonance at λ = 530 nm.

Deposition of ablative gold nanoparticles on titanium rough surfaces was carried out by the following algorithm. First, the titanium substrate was immersed in the gold nanoparticles solution. Then the nanoparticles were deposited on the surface by evaporation of an aqueous colloidal gold solution at a temperature of 60 °C for 40 minutes.

Fig. 1 shows rough titanium surface with ablative gold nanoparticles SEM image obtained with Zeiss Cross Beam 540 electron microscope (FIB-SEM).

2.4. SERS experiment

SERS spectra were obtained by Centaur U («NanoScanTechnology» LTD, Russia) Raman spectrometer, using the 532 DPSS Cobolt Samba laser with 45 mW power on sample. The optical scheme included Olympus BX 41 microscope with 100X (NA 0.9) objective. Spectrometer had a focal length of 284 mm with 1200 g/mm diffraction grating and was equipped with an Andor IDus 401 CCD camera with 1024 × 256 pixels. Spectrometer had spectral resolution of 2,5 cm−1. The laser spot of 1 × 25 μm size was positioned at the platelets. Rayleigh scattering was eliminated by the notch filters.

Due to plasmon resonance generation availability, rough titanium surfaces with gold nanoparticles (530 nm and 570 nm for gold nanoparticles and rough Ti surface respectively) were used to enhance Raman signal up to 103 times.

5 μl droplet of platelet-rich plasma was put on substrate, dried for 1 minute at room temperature, and then placed to the microscope holder. Five three times averaged spectra in different places of the droplet have been collected from each sample. Signal acquisition time was 70 s. Each time before experiment, instrument was calibrated with silicon at a static spectrum centered at 520.1 cm−1 for 1 s. After registration, spectra were saved as.txt and specific format (.ngs) on PC, connected to the Raman unit. KnowItAll Vibrational Spectroscopy Edition (BioRad, USA) was used for linear baseline correction and normalization. Savitsky-Golay filtering algorithm was used for all registered spectra and further analysis of peaks position and their intensity. Averaged spectra from healthy and CVD patients are displayed on Fig. 2. To determine the normal distribution for both groups (healthy and CVD samples), data were analyzed by the Student's t-test, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant with a 95% confidence interval (95%; Statistics) for the comparisons of mean Raman peaks.
