[Microelement-molybdenum and its use for the treatment of children's fluorine-stained teeth]

This paper is a study of the effects of molybdenum on the experimental fluorine poisoning in rats and on sodium molybdate treatment of the F-stain teeth in children. The experimental results show that the high-F and Mo feed animal, the excretion of urine-F was more than high-F, the F-content of teeth was reduced, the pathological change of skeletal tissue was relatively little, when sodium molybdate was used to treat children with fluorosis teeth for 3 months, the hair-F would reduce, whereas the hair-Mo increase the immune function would rise--the PHA skin test positive rate raised from effect 33.3% to 69.2%. It is suggested that Mo can interfere with the F-poisoning effect and that Mo may well be used as z worth medicine for the prevention and control of this illness.
