Scanning Electron Microscopy Study of the Elemental Composition of Endothelium in Arterial Atherosclerosis

A previously unknown existing fact has been established -high boron content in arterial endothelium (22.14%) in 17 autopsy preparations of various stages of atherosclerosis using scanning electron microscopy.Among 22 elements of the endothelium, a high content of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen has been revealed, the compounds of which with boron exhibit unique properties, possibly explaining the strength, density, hardness, elasticity, shiny smooth layer, and high fluidity of the endothelium.Boron oxide in water releases heat, forms an acid that dissolves in lipids and alcohol, penetrates into cells, and damages them.It is likely that boric acid disrupts the integrity of the endothelium and promotes the "passage" of chemical elements and the formation of atheroma.This assumption helps to reconsider the pathogenesis of arterial atherosclerosis, and possibly its treatment.The compound of boron with hydrogen, their varieties are a source of high energy used as rocket fuel.A hypothesis is proposed that the compound of boron with hydrogen and oxygen is a source of human energy, which has important scientific and practical significance and requires in-depth study.In the calcified stage of atherosclerosis, the content of aluminum, phosphorus and calcium increases 10 times compared to the initial stage.
