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 ...

backgroundmany studies reported that copper, zinc and magnesium play important roles in the pathogenesis and development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. exchange transfusion and intensive phototherapy are known two modalities of therapy for severe neonatal hyper bilirubinemia, but the effect of them on those trace elements is unknown.materials and methodscopper, zinc and magnesium serum levels ...

magnesium is an essential metal that has important roles in physiological function of the body organs. ethambutol is an oral antitubercular agent with chelating effects owing to its chemical structure. the aim of present study is to determine whether ethambutol usage can alter serum magnesium concentration in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. sixty patients with diagnosis of pulmonary tuber...

OBJECTIVE In our previous studies we have evaluated the role of antioxidants and trace elements in potentially malignant disorders and cancers of the oral cavity, taking into consideration the importance of antioxidants as biomarkers in cancer detection. We felt that other than evaluation, the correlation and interdependence that existed among antioxidants and trace elements require further eva...

INTRODUCTION: Many trace elements play important roles in activating or inhibiting enzymatic reactions, by competing with other elements and metal proteins for binding sites, by affecting the permeability of cell membranes and by other mechanisms. They play important roles in the oxidant/antioxidant balance. As such, trace elements are thought to be involved directly or indirectly in the pathog...

BACKGROUND There is a critical role for trace elements in cancer prevention. Since northeast Iran is known as a high risk area for esophageal cancer, this study was designed to compare the serum levels of some trace elements in high and low rate areas of Golestan province. METHODS We used 240 fasting serum samples obtained in 2011 from eastern and western parts of Golestan province during the n...

Dialysis is one of the effective methods which has been used since 1955 for the treatment of patients suffering from renal failure( more often of its chronic type). The dialysis results in the elimination of waste materials like urea and creatinine from the body, on the other hand, it can affect the serum contamination of the dialysis fluid. Aluminium is one of trace elements which its serum le...
