323-329. An investigation of 55 bridge construction workers is reported. The overall bends rate was 0·97%. (The term `bends' as used in this study is defined in the paper.) Chokes were encountered in 67·27% of workers. A clinical, haematological, and radiological study was performed. Definite bony changes were found in 43·6% of all workers; 91·6% of these had lesions around the elbow. The presence of dense areas in the neck of the scapula is reported in two cases for the first time. The relatively high haematocrit value is thought to play a part in the pathogenesis of bone infarction through its relation with blood viscosity.

323 - 329。本文报告了对55名桥梁建筑工人的一项调查。总体减压病发病率为0·97%。（本研究中使用的“减压病”一词在论文中有定义。）67·27%的工人出现了窒息症状。进行了临床、血液学和放射学研究。在所有工人中，43·6%发现有明确的骨质改变；其中91·6%的病变位于肘部周围。首次报告了两例肩胛骨颈部出现致密区的情况。相对较高的血细胞比容值被认为通过其与血液粘度的关系在骨梗死的发病机制中起作用。
