The concentration of chromium and caesium in totally opaque (mature) cataractous lenses has been determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis and gamma spectrometry. The presence of these trace-elements in the human lens has to our knowledge not been investigated so far. Both elements under study are of known biological importance. Chromium is an essential trace-element necessary for the maintenance of normal glucose metabolism. Moreover it is considered to rank among those elements, the increased level of which contributes to environmental pollution. Caesium is a biologically important trace-element due to its relationship with potassium, as has been demonstrated in a variety of biochemical and physiological processes. The concentration of these elements was determined in cataractous lenses from fifty-one patients with senile cataract and has been correlated with age and sex.
通过仪器中子活化分析和伽马能谱法测定了完全不透明（成熟）白内障晶状体中铬和铯的浓度。据我们所知，迄今为止尚未对人晶状体中这些微量元素的存在情况进行过研究。所研究的这两种元素都具有已知的生物学重要性。铬是维持正常葡萄糖代谢所必需的一种必需微量元素。此外，它被认为是那些含量增加会导致环境污染的元素之一。铯由于其与钾的关系，在各种生化和生理过程中已得到证实，是一种具有生物学重要性的微量元素。测定了51例老年性白内障患者白内障晶状体中这些元素的浓度，并将其与年龄和性别进行了关联。
