196-200. Recent studies conducted on miners at necropsy and on those attending a pneumoconiosis medical panel have suggested that the punctiform type of opacities are associated with a significant gas transfer defect and with emphysema. However, a 10-year follow-up of a random sample of miners and ex-miners in the Rhondda Fach found that the mortality experience of those with the punctiform type was, if anything, more favourable than that for other types of pneumoconiosis. This may be related to radiographic technique, but there may also be physiological reasons. There was no evidence that those with the punctiform type had different smoking habits from those with other types of pneumoconiosis.
196 - 200。最近对矿工进行尸检以及对参加尘肺病医疗小组的人员进行研究表明,点状阴影与明显的气体交换缺陷以及肺气肿有关。然而,对朗达法赫地区随机抽取的矿工和前矿工进行的10年随访发现,点状阴影类型患者的死亡率情况,即便有差异的话,也是比其他类型尘肺病患者的死亡率情况更有利。这可能与放射照相技术有关,但也可能存在生理方面的原因。没有证据表明点状阴影类型患者与其他类型尘肺病患者在吸烟习惯上存在差异。
