In this study two indirect mucociliary transport tests were compared. Nine subjects underwent duplicate saccharine-dye tests and duplicate modified technetium-99m (99mTc) tests, in which the radioactive 99mTc was nebulized in the nostril by means of a pump spray. The efficacy of mucociliary transport was deduced from the transport time of saccharine, dye and 99mTc. Transport rate also provided additional information in the 99mTc test. Transport rate correlated best in the repeated tests (r = 0.46), but was not significant (P = 0.21). Use of a pump spray for the 99mTc test instead of placement of a single droplet on the nasal mucosa makes the test easier to perform.
在本研究中，对两种间接的黏液纤毛运输测试进行了比较。九名受试者接受了重复的糖精 - 染料测试和重复的改良锝 - 99m（99mTc）测试，其中放射性99mTc通过泵式喷雾在鼻孔中雾化。黏液纤毛运输的功效由糖精、染料和99mTc的运输时间推断得出。运输速率在99mTc测试中也提供了额外信息。在重复测试中运输速率的相关性最佳（r = 0.46），但不显著（P = 0.21）。在99mTc测试中使用泵式喷雾而非在鼻黏膜上放置单个液滴使测试更易于进行。
