Abstract
The mineral status of healthy and ill citizens of Blagoveshchensk was studied with the help of atomic absorption spectroscopy. It was found out that in the whole blood of healthy people from Blagoveshchensk in comparison with some average standard rates given in literature, there was a bigger (p<0.001) concentration of Co (3.5 and more times), of Cs (15 times more), of Li (4.5 times more), of Mn (34.3 times more), of Ni (4 times more), and there was significantly less of Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Na, Mg, Rb, Zn. At focal tuberculosis the deficit of Ca and Mg and the excess of Cd, Cr, Cs, Hg, K, Li and Pb were registered. And the other way round, under fibrous-cavernous type in the blood there was a low level of Ca, Mg, Mn and Ni (p<0.001), approximately normal contents of Cu, Fe and Zn, and a high (p<0.001) concentration of Cd, Cr, Cs, Hg, K, Li, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Rb. Moreover, in the blood of people with lung tuberculosis the contents of Hg were 3-5 times more than in healthy people. Under the peptic ulcer disease the mineral imbalance was revealed through the decrease in the blood of Ca and Mg level (p<0.001) and the increase of (p<0.001) Cd, Cr, Cs, K, Li, Mn, Na, Ni and Pb concentration.
