The entire mucosa of the nasal septum from four newborn infants was removed, stained by the PAS-alcian blue whole-mount method, and the density of mucous glands was determined in 12 different localities. The interindividual median density was 30.7 glands/mm2 and the median count 13,500 glands. The glands were regularly distributed over the entire respiratory region, but with a significant decrease in density in the posterior half. It has been demonstrated that all glands are laid down before birth, that their density decreases with increasing age until it reaches 8.4 glandss/mm2 at an adult age, and that acute or recurrent acute catarrhal or inflammatory changes of the nose do not lead to the newformation of glands.
从四名新生儿身上取下鼻中隔的整个黏膜，采用过碘酸雪夫-阿尔辛蓝整装染色法进行染色，并在12个不同部位测定黏液腺的密度。个体间的密度中位数为30.7个腺体/平方毫米，数量中位数为13500个腺体。腺体在整个呼吸区域呈规则分布，但后半部分密度显著降低。已经证明，所有腺体在出生前就已形成，其密度随年龄增长而降低，直到成年时降至8.4个腺体/平方毫米，并且鼻子的急性或复发性急性卡他性或炎症性变化不会导致腺体的新生。
