Reference man for radiological protection: 71 chemical elements’ content of the prostate gland (normal and cancerous)

Contents of twelve chemical elements in normal human breast determined using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

“…However, it should be noted that the variations of published mean values for some of the studied ChE are very large and amounts to several mathematical orders. The obtained data of the studied ChE content in healthy breast tissue were compared with the reference values of the content of these ChE in blood serum [5,54] , adipose tissue [2,55] , prostate [56] and thyroid [34,[57][58][59][60] human gland (Table 4). Wherein, published data on the water content in breast tissue [61] and the results of report No.…”

“…The third objective was to compare the average mass fractions of Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, S, Si, Sr and Zn in normal breast tissue obtained in the study with data published in literature. The ultimate goal was to find differences between the results obtained for normal breast tissue and the reference data for the mass fractions of Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, S, Si, Sr and Zn in blood serum, adipose tissue, and also tissues of the prostate and thyroid [2,5,34,[54][55][56][57] .…”

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in the analysis of clinical and biological materials, foods and beverages

“…For Fe, the results for IRMM-524A showed very close agreement (AE2SD, n ¼ 5) for both d 56 Fe IRMM-014 (+0.002 AE 0.019&) and d 57 Fe IRMM-014 (+0.003 AE 0.019&), which was expected as both RMs are from the same original batch of Fe metal. For Mg, the values (AE2SD, n ¼ 20) were d 26 Mg DSM3 ¼ À3.291 AE 0.053& and d 25 Mg DSM3 ¼ À1.688 AE 0.037&, indicating a slightly lighter isotopic composition than for DSM3. The intercept method was then applied using solutions of Fe (n ¼ 46) and Mg (n ¼ 17), obtained from a variety of geological or biological RMs and high purity materials.…”

“…The researchers concluded that the intercept method was superior due to the lower uncertainties determined. Therefore they proposed to assign the following values (AE2SD) to the new RMs: d 56 Fe IRMM-014 ¼ À0.004 (AE0.014&), d 57 Fe IRMM-014 ¼ +0.005 (AE0.024&) and d 26 Mg DSM3 ¼ À3.295 AE 0.040&, d 25 Mg DSM3 ¼ À1.666 AE 0.043&. Furthermore, the geological and biological RMs analysed in this study represented a wide variety of complex matrices, for some of which d values for Fe and Mg were reported for the rst time, providing a valuable resource for future studies.…”

“…This year we comment on three publications investigating reference ranges in different biological tissue types . Zaichick and Wynchank 25 used five methods to determine the mass fractions of 67 elements in 99 prostate tissue samples (37 autopsy samples from apparently healthy European Caucasian males and 62 samples from subjects with prostate cancer). A systematic analysis combined results from this study with other published data to present mass fraction values for 71 elements in normal and cancerous prostate tissues.…”
