Assessment of hair element content in children with spastic and ataxic cerebral palsy was performed using inductively-coupled plasma mass-spectrometry. The obtained data demonstrate that hair cobalt, copper, manganese, and selenium levels were 33%, 9%, 19%, and 18% lower than those in the control group. At the same time, more profound differences were observed in patients with spastic diplegia, where the level of cobalt, copper, manganese, selenium, and vanadium was 33%, 9%, 20%, 18%, and 43% lower than in controls. A strong tendency to reduced hair iron and magnesium was also observed. Patients with ataxic cerebral palsy were characterized by 33%, 5%, and 21% lower hair cobalt, copper, and selenium content, whereas chromium levels exceeded the respective control values by 63%. In regression models only hair copper (β = -0.337; p < 0.001) and chromium (β = 0.214; p < 0.023) content were significantly associated with cerebral palsy in children. The observed differences may be associated with the role of metals in pathogenetic mechanisms of different forms of cerebral palsy.","PeriodicalId":23176,"journal":{"name":"Trace elements in medicine","volume":"23 1","pages":"60-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86859825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The level of essential elements in the analyzed biosubstrates was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). It was found that foreign students have significantly higher values of the stress index (IS) and vascular wall stiffness (SI) compared to freshmen from Russia. At the same time, the value of the reflection index (RI is a marker of peripheral vascular tone) and the integral indicator indicating aortic elasticity (dTpp) in foreign students were significantly lower than those of freshmen from Russia. Analysis of hair trace element content revealed significantly lower hair Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, I, Mg, Mn, and V levels in international students as compared to controls. Urinary trace element levels were more stable. Particularly, Co and Mn levels were found to be lower, whereas Cu and Zn concentration was higher than those in students from Russia. Correlation analysis revealed inverse association between stress index and hair Fe content. Mg and Mn levels in hair were also inversely associated with stiffness index. Urinary Cu, Se, and Zn concentration directly correlated with arterial stiffness, being inversely associated with dTpp values. Oppositely, urinary V levels were inversely and directly correlated with these parameters, respectively. Therefore, the results of analysis demonstrated the potential relationship between patterns of trace element status and cardiovascular reactivity in international students.","PeriodicalId":23176,"journal":{"name":"Trace elements in medicine","volume":"121 1","pages":"33-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85258362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, it is extremely important to know, is the composition of the ashed material reflects the composition of the original object and how elements behave during the process of combustion. To answer these questions, an experiment on the samples of biological material was made. The purpose of the study is to analyze the behavior of elements in the process of high-temperature combustion of bone tissue. During the experiment, the following methods of analysis were used: instrumental neutron activation and mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma. The study shows that most of the elements are concentrated in bone ash during combustion (Li, Na, Mg, P, Ca, Ti, Cu, Zn, Ga, U, Al, Sc, Cr, Mn, Fe, As, Y,, Zr , Nb, Mo, Cd, Sb, La, Ce, Pr, Sm, Gd, Au, W, Bi), while volatilization is observed only for Br, Hg and Sn. The exclusive role of the chemichal compound of the element is shown for the analysis of its behavior. The experiment is aslo shows the role of combustion temperature to predict the behavior of element: it was found that lower temperature of ashing (500 °C) leads to more intensive volatilization of elements. In addition, an algorithm is propesed to convert the content of the element in ash of the bone to dry matter. At the same time, the dependence of the content of elements in the ash on their content in dry tissue were established using mathematical functions with high accuracy of approximation (for Fe, Mg, Zn, As, Pr, Ce, W, Zr, Cd, Cr, Sb, Mn, Ga, Nb, Pb, and U).","PeriodicalId":23176,"journal":{"name":"Trace elements in medicine","volume":"35 1","pages":"55-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78927032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
