Mast cell counts were made, in tissue samples of normal and clubbed fingers obtained at autopsy, to investigate the possibility that mast cells act as an intermediary in the development of finger clubbing. Quantitative measurements of the composition of the tissues of the normal and clubbed nail bed were also made. The only significant difference in mast cell numbers in clubbed fingers was a decrease in mast cells in the tissues just superficial to the nail. The appearance of the mast cells was normal. The porportion of blood vessels and other tissues was not significantly different from normal.
对尸检时获取的正常手指和杵状指组织样本进行肥大细胞计数，以研究肥大细胞是否在杵状指形成过程中起中介作用。还对正常和杵状指甲床组织的成分进行了定量测量。杵状指中肥大细胞数量的唯一显著差异是指甲表面组织中的肥大细胞减少。肥大细胞的外观正常。血管和其他组织的比例与正常情况无显著差异。
