ABSTRACT
Introduction:
In this work, the problem of occurrence and co-occurrence of titanium, lithium, molybdenum, strontium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium in the choleliths of the inhabitants of Częstochowa and Bielsko-Biała district has been presented. The choice of research area was determined by the different mineral structure of suspended dust in the air, as well as the average different occurrence of some other minerals in suspended dust in the air. The aim of the studies was to define the level of accumulation and coincidention of Ti, Li, Mo, Sr, Ca, Mg, Na, K in deposits in the gallbladder.
Material and Methods:
The content of these particular elements in the gall bladder deposits obtained during cholecystectomy was assessed by means of inductive coupledplasma – atomic emission spectrometry (ICP – AES) with accuracy to 0,01 μg/g.
Results:
The presence of selected elements in the mineral structure of gall bladder deposits is illustrated by the vast statistical characteristic of their occurrence in the inhabitants of Częstochowa and Bielsko-Biała district. This is also documented by the course of quotient changes of the individual element’s content, compared to their sum in the function of changes of their average content in the gall bladder deposits.
Conclusions:
The level of examined elements in gallbladder deposits was different according to place of living and gender, those differences being better discriminated by geometrical averages.
