[Influence of environmental tobacco smoking on different barium contents in pharyngeal tonsils]. / Wplyw biernego palenia na zrónicowanie wystepowania baru w migdalkach gardlowych dzieci.

The aim of this study was analysis of content of barium in pharyngeal tonsils from children living on Southern Poland in during exposure on ETS. Barium contents in pharyngeal tonsils were higher for no exposure ETS children (0.099 microg/g) in comparison to exposure by ETS (0.033 microg/g), p=0.0042. The interaction between Ba and Ca, Fe, K or higher arithmetic and geometric mean, statistical range of changes contributed the role ETS in relation to children.

[The role of the sex in cooccurrence of selenium with other elements in gallstones]. / Rola plci we wspólwyst powaniu selenu w zlogach pecherzyka zólciowego z innymi pierwiastkami.

The characteristic of occurrence selenium content in gallstones from smoking and no smoking people living in southern Poland is presented in the work. The subject of the research were gallstones, gained intra-operatively from 146 women (49 smoking, 97 no smoking women) and 24 men (11 smoking, 13 no smoking men). The content of selenium was determined using atomic emission spectroscopy with inductive couple plasma (ICP-AES). The influence of smoking to women and men describes the degree of elimination selenium from them organism by use of gallstones in detoxification process.

[Antagonistic effect of selenium in interactions with selected elements during contamination of the gallstones from smoking and no smoking men]. / Antagonistyczna rola selenu w interakcjach z wybranymi pierwiastkami podczas kontaminacji kamieni zólciowych u mezczyzn palacych i niepalacych.

The problem of statistical characteristics of occurrence metals content in gallstones from smoking and no smoking man living in southern Poland is presented in the work. The subject of the research were gallstones, gained intraoperatively from 24 man (11 smoking and 13 non smoking). The content of metals was determined using atomic emission spectroscopy with inductive couple plasma (ICP-AES). In relations to chemical mineral composition of hydroxiapatites antagonism selenium were confirmed, as mainly to Si, Fe, Mn, P, Cd, Co, Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Hg, Mo, Ti, Sb, Bi, Sr, Ca, Mg, Na, K for no smoking man.
