无机汞中毒的患者晶状体中可出现茶褐色沉淀。在发生有机汞中毒——水俣病的当时,从污染水漂浮上来的鱼大都出现有白内障,但尚未见到有关水俣病患者的白内障或晶状体色素沉着的报告。晶状体和汞有何关系?能否以晶状体中的汞含量反映当地的污染水平和在人体内的蓄积情况?作者对此进行了分析和研究。晶状体由晶状体囊包裹着。晶状体前囊下的上皮细胞在一生中不断地进行分裂、增殖, Patients with inorganic mercury poisoning may appear dark brown precipitate in the lens. At the time of the MHI-Minamata disease, most of the fish that floated from polluted water appeared cataracts but no cataract or lens pigmentation report was reported for Minamata disease. What is the relationship between lens and mercury? Can the amount of mercury in the lens reflect the level of local pollution and accumulation in the human body? The authors analyzed and studied.
