title: [Contents and correlations of Cu, Fe, Cr, B in fetal organs and their mother serum].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the contents, distribution and correlation of Cu, Fe, Cr, B in normal fetal organs.
  
  
  METHODS
  The samples were digested by closed-vessel microwave HNO3 + H2O2 dissolution system. The solution was directly analyzed by ICP-AES for determination of Cu, Fe, Cr, B in fetal cerebra, cerebellum, heart, liver, kidney, gastrocnemius, placenta and mother serum.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The four elements mainly existed in fetal liver. There were correlations between four elements in the same organ as well as between the same element in different organs.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There existed some correlations in the contents and distribution of Cu, Fe, Cr, B in normal fetal organs.
