Investigation of some trace element levels (Zn, Fe, Mn, Mg, Cu, Cd, Co, Pb) in patients with burst fractures

Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to determine trace element levels (Zn, Fe, Mn, Mg, Cu, Cd, Co, and Pb) in patients with burst fractures in Van Province, Turkey.

Advances and Promises of Nutritional Influences on Natural Bone Repair

“…33,34 Beyond increases in general metabolic rate and energy expenditure, fracture induces changes in micronutrient metabolism that appear to be driven by an increased demand to facilitate callus formation and mineralization. This reactive response to fracture leads to decreased serum copper, 35,36 cobalt, 35,36 iron, 35,36 vitamin D, 37,38 and zinc, 35,36,[39][40][41] with the latter two accumulating in fracture tissue. Calcium metabolism is also perturbed, where it is mobilized from the intact skeleton through the concerted actions of the parathyroid hormone and the systemic inflammatory response to fracture.…”

Determination of some trace elements and heavy metal levels (Cu, Mn, Mg, Fe, Zn, Co, Pb, and Cd) in blood serum of patients with lip and oral cavity cancers

“…In a study on preterm and premature infants, maternal serum Mg level was found to be lower than healthy control group, whereas placental magnesium was found to be higher in the group presenting with PPROM but there was no statistically significant difference between umbilical cord magnesium levels and those in the healthy group [15]. In a study on patients with burst fractures, serum Mg levels were significantly lower than healthy control groups [17]. In this study on lip and oral cavity cancers, the difference between the patient and control group mean in terms of Mg levels was found to be statistically significant (p <0.05).…”

“…In a study conducted on Peyronie patients, it was found that the Cu levels in the blood serum of the patients were significantly lower than the healthy control groups [16]. In another study on patients with burst fractures, the Cu levels in blood serum of the patients were significantly lower than healthy control groups [17]. In a study on breast cancer, it was reported that the Cu and Mg levels in the blood of patients before and after radiotherapy were significantly different compared to the healthy control group [18].…”

“…In a study on patients with ovarian cancer, Pb levels in the preoperative group were found to be higher compared to the control group and lower than in the postoperative group and it was reported to be statistically significant [14]. In a study on Burst fracture patients, Pb level in the blood serum of the patients was found to be significantly higher than healthy control groups [17]. In this study on lip and oral cavity cancers, the difference between lead and mean levels of the control groups was statistically significant (p <0.05).…”

“…In a study conducted on Peyronie patients, it was determined that Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe levels in the blood serum of the patients were significantly lower than the healthy control groups [16]. In a study on patients with burst fractures, Zn levels in the blood serum of the patients were significantly lower than healthy control groups [17]. In this study on lip and oral cavity cancers, the difference between Zn levels and the mean of control group was statistically significant (p <0.05).…”
