An unselected sample of vinyl chloride (VC)-exposed individuals, all employees of a polyvinyl chloride production plant in England (129 subjects), were examined by in vivo capillary microscopy. Results were compared with those previously obtained from a similar study in the USA to determine whether an association between VC exposure and capillary abnormalities could be found in different environments. The results showed a similar distribution of capillary abnormalities among the VC workers in both countries (39.5% in England compared with 36% in the USA). These capillary abnormalities were significantly more frequent among VC-exposed subjects than among control industrial workers (7.7%, 6%). In vivo microscopy also showed a higher incidence of papular lesions (13.5%) than had been detected clinically (1%).
对氯乙烯(VC)暴露个体的非选择性样本进行了研究,这些个体均为英国一家聚氯乙烯生产厂的员工(共129名受试者),采用活体毛细血管显微镜检查。将结果与之前在美国进行的类似研究结果进行比较,以确定在不同环境中是否能发现VC暴露与毛细血管异常之间的关联。结果显示,两国VC工人中毛细血管异常的分布相似(英国为39.5%,美国为36%)。这些毛细血管异常在VC暴露受试者中比在对照产业工人中明显更常见(分别为7.7%和6%)。活体显微镜检查还显示丘疹性病变的发生率(13.5%)高于临床检测到的发生率(1%)。
