The geochemical hypothesis on endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) links causation of the disease to increased levels of cerium in the heart. Since cardiac tissues are not easily accessible from patients, we explored whether cerium can be detected in the serum using neutron activation analysis (NAA). Cerium levels in serum of EMF patients were significantly elevated (p < 0.05) compared to controls.
关于心内膜心肌纤维化（EMF）的地球化学假说将该疾病的病因与心脏中铈含量的增加联系起来。由于难以从患者身上获取心脏组织，我们探索了是否可以使用中子活化分析（NAA）在血清中检测到铈。与对照组相比，EMF患者血清中的铈水平显著升高（p < 0.05）。
