How did Napoleon die?

How did Napoleon die? Many countries' dictionaries record that Napoleon I (176- 182 1) died in St. Helena. How did this19th century figure die in Europe? Some people say that he was poisoned when he was imprisoned in the Atlantic island of St. Helena; Some people say that his family may have died of cancer, because his father died of cancer at the age of 40; Some people say that he contracted tropical diseases when attacking Egypt and Syria, and later died of the disease. Opinions vary, but no one has produced reliable evidence, which has become a "mystery" left over from history! /kloc-After Napoleon's death 0/50 years ago, a strange news aroused great concern in the scientific community. According to the test of a hair, it is proved that Napoleon was poisoned. The thing is that Napoleon was once a monarch who shocked the world, so his servants decided to preserve his body after his death. But at that time, there was no good way to preserve the remains, and there was no photography (photography was invented in 1835). After discussion, the servants decided to use plaster to shape it, that is, first shave Napoleon's hair, then shape his hairstyle, and then copy the image of the whole body. At that time, a loyal bodyguard quietly treasured a lock of Napoleon's hair out of pious feelings and the right to commemorate it and pass it on to future generations. It is true that Chuan Wei never dreamed of it, but this move provides reliable evidence for explaining the mystery of Napoleon's death after 150 years. In recent years, Napoleon's hair has been discovered. What is the difference between Napoleon's dead hair and normal people's dead hair? The test results show that Napoleon's hair obviously contains more arsenic. According to modern analytical technology, the content of various components in each tiny part of a hair can be accurately determined. Napoleon's hair has an obvious feature, that is, the closer he is to death, the more arsenic in his hair, so it is inferred that Napoleon may be poisoned by arsenic (arsenic trioxide). It turns out that the trace elements in hair are similar to those in human blood, which can accurately reflect the metabolism inside the human body. All the components of blood come from the surrounding environment and the food produced in this environment. Geochemist Hamilton once tested the average content of various trace elements in British blood and connected them into a curve. He found that this curve is strikingly similar to the average content of corresponding trace elements in the surrounding geological environment. At present, the analysis results of many countries are as follows: the lead content in the hair of urban residents is much higher than that of rural residents; Residents near busy traffic lines and workers engaged in lead work have high arsenic content in their hair; Residents near smelters or people in some areas with high natural arsenic content also have much higher arsenic content in their hair than normal people. Fishermen who live by the sea and often eat fish and shrimp often have several times higher mercury content in their hair than mainlanders. When Chinese scientists investigated Keshan disease (an endemic heart disease) area, they found that the environment in this area was generally short of trace elements such as selenium and aluminum, and the contents of selenium and aluminum in the hair of all Keshan patients were very low. A large number of facts have proved that the composition of blood is indeed an objective reflection of the environment. Hair is like an automatic recording tape, which records the influence of environment on human body every day, and truly and sensitively points out the change of environment and the degree of pollution. Therefore, it is also appropriate for Chinese medicine to call human hair "residual blood". It is for this reason that Napoleon died of poisoning, which seems more reliable. However, the medical community does not fully agree with this view. Because arsenic is highly toxic, it can lead to acute death. In a short time from poisoning to death, arsenic will not immediately enter longer hair segments. However, from the analysis of existing materials, Napoleon probably died of endemic arsenic poisoning, although he did not die of man-made poisoning, at least it was endemic chronic arsenic poisoning. Because no one can deny that the food and domestic water on St. Helena contains high arsenic. No matter what the real cause of Napoleon's death is, it has attracted great attention from the scientific community, and the relationship between hair and environment deserves our further study and utilization. To evaluate the quality of an environment, the most fundamental thing is to see what impact it has on human health. Therefore, it is very necessary to find something that can sensitively and reliably reflect the relationship between environmental quality changes and human health. And hair, the average person has 20,000 to 30,000 roots, each hair grows 0.4 mm every day, and there are 20,000 cells and dozens of trace elements in L mm hair. So it's best to use hair to monitor the environment. In recent years, scientists have made new discoveries in the study of hair. At present, a hair can tell people much more than a little information about environmental monitoring. What it can show is much richer than people think. It is reported that diabetes and cardiovascular diseases can be diagnosed according to the content of trace element chromium in hair. From the contents of cadmium and lead, we can diagnose hypertension and even judge whether a person has a long life. Comprehensive analysis of the content of 14 trace elements in hair can judge whether a child is smart and the degree of intellectual development, with an accuracy rate of 98%. In addition, through the analysis of hair, we can distinguish the four mental disorders of schizophrenia and determine whether a person has taken drugs and when. Because of this, hair analysis is gradually adopted by police officers, and it is not uncommon to solve strange cases. Therefore, it can be predicted that hair diagnostics will soon develop into an independent new discipline. It is true that up to now, everything has not reached a satisfactory level, whether it is monitoring the environment with hair or diagnosing endemic diseases, pollution diseases and other diseases. One of the main obstacles is that we haven't figured out what standard "normal hair" is. Recently, the International Atomic Energy Agency is collecting the analysis data of 40 elements in hair from specialized laboratories in 13 countries in order to get the preliminary answer of "normal hair". It is conceivable that once this standard hair baseline is drawn, hair diagnosis can make a miraculous contribution to mankind. At that time, we may be surprised to find that a hair can even answer as many questions as a computer.
