Fifty-four thymus glands removed surgically from patients with myasthenia gravis were examined using an accurate morphometric technique and the data compared with the response to thymectomy. There is a tendency for patients with relatively unreactive thymus glands to obtain a better result from thymectomy but this is not statistically significant.
采用精确的形态测量技术,对54例重症肌无力患者手术切除的胸腺进行了检查,并将数据与胸腺切除术后的反应进行了比较。胸腺相对无反应的患者倾向于从胸腺切除术中获得更好的结果,但这在统计学上并不显著。
