Xenon-133 was used to study regional pulmonary function in nine patients with chest cage rigidity due to ankylosing spondylitis. In comparison with normal subjects, the patients showed an overall diminution in lung volume and the proportion of inhaled xenon reaching the lung apices was reduced but the distribution of injected xenon was normal. The possible relationship between these findings and apical lung disease in ankylosing spondylitis is mentioned.
用氙-133对9例因强直性脊柱炎导致胸廓僵硬的患者进行了区域肺功能研究。与正常受试者相比,这些患者的肺容积总体减小,吸入氙到达肺尖的比例降低,但注入氙的分布正常。文中提到了这些发现与强直性脊柱炎中肺尖部疾病之间可能的关系。
