Application of spectroscopic techniques: ICP-OES, LA-ICP-MS and chemometric methods for studying the relationships between trace elements in clinical samples from patients with atherosclerosis obliterans

چکیده
The study was aimed to evaluate the influence of the vascular disease, atherosclerotic obliterans (AO), on the location and concentration of elements in the arterial wall and serum. Use of a modern method for studying element's concentration and distribution in samples of clinical material, i.e. laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, is presented. Elements are not equally distributed between the inner (intima) and the outer (media + adventitia) layer of the arterial wall. Among the studied elements, calcium was found to have an unquestionable role in the calcification of the wall. Increased concentration of calcium found in the inner part of the atherosclerotic arterial wall and in the plaque, as compared to the control arterial wall samples, demonstrates the unquestionable role of this element in the calcification of the wall observed in AO. Applied chemometric methods were useful for demonstrating the differences in the element's concentration in blood serum and the arterial wall samples between AO and the control group.

Through analysis of their chemical composition, human teeth may serve as retrospective bioindicators of preand postnatal nutrition and exposures to environmental pollutants. The research presented here explores the agreement of laser ablation ICP-MS and solution ICP-MS analyses aimed at capturing temporal changes in the trace element composition of enamel. Good agreement was found for LA-ICP-MS...

Basic rocks appear as cumulative hornblende gabbros in the Namen pluton, West of Sabzevar. One outcrop of these rocks contains magnetite ore patches. Although magnetite- bearing hornblende gabbro (MHG) and other hornblende gabbros (HG) have similar mineralogy, their trace element compositions are completely different. Trace element analysis of magnetite minerals by laser ablation inductively co...

Particulate matter accumulated on tree bark specimens was examined in order to investigate its potential use as a natural monitor to study the impact on local atmospheric conditions. Tree bark from sargent cherry (Prunus sargentii) and sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh) trees was collected from four locations: Drax (North Yorkshire), Darley Dale (Derbyshire), Galway (Ireland) and Tristan da Cun...
