Results of the studies reviewed suggest that hair represents a promising biopsy material to study trace element redistribution and changes in trace-element status during early infancy. Caution must be exercised in sampling and only proximal, recently-grown hair collected. Appropriate standard washing procedures must also be employed and sensitive analytical techniques used for the determination of hair trace element concentrations.
所综述研究的结果表明，头发是一种很有前景的活检材料，可用于研究婴儿早期微量元素的重新分布以及微量元素状态的变化。采样时必须谨慎，只采集近端新生长的头发。还必须采用适当的标准清洗程序，并使用灵敏的分析技术来测定头发中的微量元素浓度。
