The results of a study of 90 patients are presented. Intrapulmonary mineral deposits were characterized by electron diffraction and electron probe microanalysis. Using this method, pneumoconioses may be distinguidhed from other pneumopathies. In cases of pneumoconiosis, there exists a specific relationship between the etiology of the dust exposure and the crystallographic characteristics of the intrapulmonary deposits. The nature of the deposits may be indicative of a specific type of pneumoconiosis. This method is particularly useful in differentiating between asbestos bodies and ferruginous bodies. The value of the method in general and its importance in the study of pneumoconiosis are discussed.
本文展示了对90名患者的研究结果。通过电子衍射和电子探针微分析对肺内矿物质沉积进行了表征。使用该方法,可以将尘肺病与其他肺病区分开来。在尘肺病病例中,粉尘接触的病因与肺内沉积物的晶体学特征之间存在特定关系。沉积物的性质可能表明特定类型的尘肺病。该方法在区分石棉小体和含铁小体方面特别有用。讨论了该方法的总体价值及其在尘肺病研究中的重要性。
