The pH of 106 human breast cyst fluids has been measured immediately following aspiration. Values ranged from pH 6.3 to 7.8. They correlated with the ratio of Na+ to K+ in cyst fluid and differed significantly in the two populations of fluids which can be defined on electrolyte composition. Storage of cyst fluid for one month at -20 degrees C resulted in an increase in pH by a mean of 0.9 of a unit. pH provides a simple method for typing cyst fluids and this may be of clinical importance as there is evidence that there are differences in the natural history and association with breast cancer in the two populations of breast cysts.
106份人乳腺囊肿液在抽吸后立即测量了pH值。其范围为pH 6.3至7.8。它们与囊肿液中Na⁺与K⁺的比例相关，并且在根据电解质组成定义的两类囊肿液中存在显著差异。囊肿液在-20℃下储存一个月导致pH值平均升高0.9个单位。pH值为囊肿液分型提供了一种简单方法，这可能具有临床重要性，因为有证据表明，两类乳腺囊肿在自然病史以及与乳腺癌的关联方面存在差异。
