颈椎病患者头发中微量元素的变化

Changes of Trace Elements in Hair of the Patients with Cervical Spondylosis

测定40例颈椎病患者头发中的铁、锰、锌和铜4种人体微量元素含量，并与40例健康人进行对比观察。结果：颈椎病患者头发中的锌与锰含量明显低于对照组，且铜／锌比值显著增高，此结果说明颈椎病的病理和病程发展与人体内的微量元素代谢紊乱存在密切联系。

The contents of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu in hair were determined in 40 patients with cervical spondylosis and in 40 healthy persons respectively. The results showed that the contents of Mn, Zn in hair of the patients with cervi- cal spondylosis were decreased, while the Cu/Zn ratio was increased significantly as compared with those in the con- trol group. The results suggested that the changes of trace elements in hair were closely related to the pathological changes and disease duration of cervical spondylosis.
