Micro–PIXE Investigation of Trace Elements Ca, Fe, and Zn in Cataractous Human Lenses
Trace elements concentrations of Ca, Fe, and Zn in cataractous human lenses have been determined using the proton induced X-ray emission technique (PIXE). The technique was selected due to its sensitivity and only modest requirements for sample material processing and preparation. In the study a statistically significant sample of post–surgery (phacoemulsification method) human lenses with cata...
متن کاملA nuclear microscopy study of trace elements Ca, Fe, Zn and Cu in atherosclerosis
Quantitative mapping of trace elements Ca, Fe, Zn and Cu can be achieved in biological tissue using a nuclear microprobe. Presented here is a brief review of the work we have carried out in the last decade using the nuclear microscope to try and elucidate the role of trace elements Fe, Zn, Cu and Ca in induced atherosclerosis in New Zealand White rabbits fed on a 1% cholesterol diet. The lesion...
متن کاملDiscrepant expression of microRNAs in transparent and cataractous human lenses.
PURPOSE Age-related cataracts are considered to be a pathological condition that arise as senescence progresses. However, little is known about the function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the formation of age-related cataracts. The purpose of this study was to identify possible differences in miRNA expression in the central epithelium of transparent and age-related cataractous human lenses. METHODS...
متن کاملVariation of urinary and serum trace elements (Ca, Zn, Cu, Se) in bladder carcinoma in China.
BACKGROUNDS Deficiency or excess of trace elements can induce body metabolic disorders and cellular growth disturbance, even mutation and cancerization. Since there are few studies of the effect of trace elements in bladder carcinoma in China, the aim of this study was thus to assess variation using a case control approach. METHODS To determine this, 81 patients with bladder carcinoma chosen ...
متن کاملFree and bound water in normal and cataractous human lenses.
PURPOSE To analyze free and total water in human normal and cataractous lenses. METHODS Thermogravimetric analysis was used to determine total water, and differential scanning calorimetry was used for free water. RESULTS In normal human lenses, the total water content of the nucleus remained unchanged with age, but the state of the water altered. The ratio of free to bound water increased s...
