Sperm tails and bronchial cilia from Polynesians with bronchiectasis were examined in the electron microscope. The outer doublet tubules of the axonemal skeleton in these organelles either lacked dynein arms or had only partial arms. Various other cilial abnormalities were common. The sperm were immotile and pulmonary mucociliary clearance was reduced or absent.
对患有支气管扩张症的波利尼西亚人的精子尾部和支气管纤毛进行了电子显微镜检查。这些细胞器中轴丝骨架的外侧双联体微管要么缺少动力蛋白臂,要么只有部分臂。各种其他纤毛异常也很常见。精子无法游动,肺部黏液纤毛清除功能降低或缺失。
