From 32 normal sphenoidal sinuses in 16 patients the mucosa was removal at autopsy, stained by the PAS-alcian blue whole mount method, and the density of goblet cells as well as of mucous glands was determined. The median density of goblet cells was 6200 cells per mm2, without statistically significant differences between the walls. The median density of glands was very low, 0.06 gland/mm2, highest in the anterior wall which has 0.1 gland/mm2 and lowest in the posterior wall which has 0.05 gland/mm2. The total gland count was less than 50 in 94% of the sinuses, 51--80 in 4%. The glands were small, tubulo-acinous. Hence, the production of mucus by the glands is entirely negligible in relation to that of the goblet cells.
从16例患者的32个正常蝶窦中获取标本，在尸检时切除黏膜，采用过碘酸-阿尔辛蓝整装染色法进行染色，并测定杯状细胞和黏液腺的密度。杯状细胞的中位密度为每平方毫米6200个细胞，各壁之间无统计学显著差异。腺体的中位密度非常低，为每平方毫米0.06个腺体，前壁最高，为每平方毫米0.1个腺体，后壁最低，为每平方毫米0.05个腺体。94%的鼻窦中腺体总数少于50个，4%的鼻窦中腺体总数为51 - 80个。腺体较小，呈小管泡状。因此，与杯状细胞相比，腺体产生的黏液量完全可以忽略不计。
