Content of silicon, vanadium, nickel, tin and strontium
in hair, blood serum and urine in students
from Central Asia and the Middle East

ABSTRACT.


           The work purpose – a comparative analysis of the content of silicon, vanadium, nickel, tin and strontium in three biosubstrates (hair, blood serum and urine) taken from Russian and foreign students of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN) in the first year of study and determination of the features of the elemental status students from the Moscow region of Russia, countries of Central Asia and the Middle East during the period of their adaptation to a new place of residence and study.

Materials and methods. The features of the elemental status of students from the Moscow region of Russia, the countries of Central Asia and the Middle East during the period of their adaptation to a new place of stay and study were determined. The method of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used for analysis.

Results. The analysis indicates an increased accumulation of some elements, especially nickel, vanadium and silicon in the bodies of first-year students who arrived primarily from the countries of Central Asia and the Middle East compared to students from the Moscow region of Russia. In the future, this may have a negative impact on the health and learning ability of foreign students. It should be noted that some of the presented elements have little studied therapeutic effects.

Conclusions. Further research is needed into the influence of elemental status on people's health, which can serve as the basis for the development of a new screening and prevention system.
