Serum, erythrocyte and urinary zinc were serially measured during the early ten days following major surgery or thermal burns in 18 and 8 patients, respectively. Serum zinc gradually decreased and erythrocyte and urinary zinc increased during the first three postoperative or post-burn days. Thereafter, both serum and erythrocyte zinc gradually returned to preoperative levels in the patients subjected to surgery, while serum zinc continued to fall progressively despite a rapid restoration of erythrocyte zinc to control values, in the burned patients. It is suggested that in contrast to the early postoperative or post-burn hypozincemia, which may be attributed to a redistribution of zinc from plasma to tissue, continued decrease in serum zinc following thermal burns may indicate a mobilization of zinc to the burn site and eventually result in significant zinc depletion.
分别对18例接受大手术的患者和8例烧伤患者在术后或烧伤后的前十天连续测量血清、红细胞和尿锌。在术后或烧伤后的头三天，血清锌逐渐下降，红细胞和尿锌增加。此后，接受手术的患者血清和红细胞锌均逐渐恢复到术前水平，而烧伤患者尽管红细胞锌迅速恢复到对照值，但血清锌仍继续逐渐下降。这表明，与术后早期或烧伤后低锌血症（可能归因于锌从血浆重新分布到组织）不同，烧伤后血清锌持续下降可能表明锌被动员到烧伤部位，并最终导致明显的锌缺乏。
