Abstract

Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was employed to assay 32 minor and trace elements in bone of Bohemian Duke John of Görlitz (1370–1396) who suddenly died at the age 25 years for unknown reasons. Recently, histological examination of his illium bone was carried out, accompanied by histochemical staining reactions to learn about his health status. The INAA results disproved an elevated Al content indicated by the staining reaction with aluminon, but revealed elevated levels of Mn, As, Sb, and especially of Ag compared with literature values. The results are discussed in terms of toxicity of the above elements, especially whether their elevated levels could be the reason for Duke´s sudden death.

波希米亚戈尔利茨公爵约翰遗骨的INAA:试图解释他在25岁时突然死亡的原因
波希米亚戈尔利茨公爵约翰(1370-1396 年)在 25 岁时因不明原因突然去世,我们采用仪器中子活化分析(instrumental neutron activation analysis,INAA)对其骨骼中的 32 种微量元素进行了检测。最近,对他的髂骨进行了组织学检查,同时进行了组织化学染色反应,以了解他的健康状况。INAA 结果推翻了铝染色反应所显示的铝含量升高,但与文献值相比,发现锰、砷、锑,尤其是银的含量升高。我们从上述元素的毒性角度对结果进行了讨论,特别是这些元素的含量升高是否可能是杜克猝死的原因。
