Trace Elements in Scalp Hair of Leukaemia Patients

This study aimed to determine the concentrations of Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb in the scalp hair of leukaemia patients and healthy volunteers using an optimized XRF method. Hair samples were categorized based on the type, growth, and age of participants. Results showed that trace elements (TEs) in both groups were positively skewed. Leukemia patients had lower Fe, Cu, Zn, and Pb levels but higher Ni levels compared to controls. The Mann–Whitney U-test showed no significant differences between leukaemia subgroups and controls.


However, significant differences (p < 0.05) were found for Pb, Cu, Ni, and Fe between leukaemia patients and controls. Strong correlations (r > 0.70) were observed among TEs in both groups, with all being significant at p < 0.05. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that the type and growth of leukaemia had a greater impact on element loading than age. Ali Khuder, et al. NUKLEONIKA. 2014;59(3):111120

Hourglass with DNA, cells: concept of time, aging, and life.

The biological hallmarks of aging are a set of molecular and cellular damage processes that accumulate over time, leading to the functional decline and increased susceptibility to disease that characterize aging. These hallmarks were first described by Lopez-Otin et al. in 2016 and later expanded upon by Kennedy et al. in 2017. They can be categorized into nine primary hallmarks and four integrative hallmarks. Here, we describe the primary hallmarks of aging:
