Abstract
A case-control study was conducted to investigate the association between the risk of cancer and selenium concentration in blood and toenails. Seventy three patients and two hundreds eighty three controls were, selected at the Yeungnam University Hospital between May and September in 1991. The selected cases were patients who had been hospitalized for stomach or colon cancer at the Depertment of General Surgery. The controls were people who visited to check physical examination at the Automated Mediscreening Center. The selenium concentration in whole blood and toenails were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with graphite furnace atomizer. The following information was ascertained for all cancer patients and controls : sex, age, body mass index, blood pressure, total serum cholesterol, and history of smoking and drinking. The mean selenium concentration in blood and toenail for all cancer patients were
1991년 5월 1일 부터 동년 8월 30일 사이에 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 위암 및 대장암으로 진단받은 환자 73명을 환자군으로, 건강진단을 받기 위해 동병원에 내원한 283명을 대조군으로 하여 셀레니움과 암과의 관련성을 보기 위한 환자-대조군 연구를 실시하였다. 환자군과 대조군의 성, 연령, BMI, 혈압, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤치, 음주, 흡연력을 조사하고 혈액과 손톱의 셀레니움 농도를 flameless furnace atomizer를 부착한 atomic absorption spectrophotometer를 이용하여 측정하였다. 환자군의 혈중 셀레니움 농도는
