The levels of lead in plasma were determined in 16 cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and 18 control subjects, using flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean values were 0.52+/-0.22 microgram/100ml (ALS) and 0.37+/-0.13 microgram/100ml (controls), the difference is statistically significant (5% level). The values in both groups are lower than reported earlier for normal subjects. The findings are discussed against the background of the possible pathogenetic significance of retrograde axoplasmic flow in ALS.
采用无火焰原子吸收分光光度法测定了16例肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)患者和18名对照者血浆中的铅含量。ALS组平均值为0.52±0.22微克/100毫升,对照组为0.37±0.13微克/100毫升,差异具有统计学意义(5%水平)。两组的值均低于先前报道的正常受试者的值。结合ALS中逆行轴浆运输可能的致病意义这一背景对这些发现进行了讨论。
