| Popis: |
The observation of the ciliated cell dynamics by phase-contrast microscope has allowed a profound study of some parameters of the cellular components. The aim of this preliminary study is to assess the surviving time of ciliary cells using the phase-contrast microscope. Nasal cytology was carried out on 50 healthy volunteers. The ciliary beat time was assessed by a video-camera connected with a PC. The time of ciliary beat persistence was extraordinarily long (mean 210 minutes, with range 74–1260). The ciliary activity remained valid as rhythm, synchronism and metachronality. In conclusion, this preliminary study demonstrated that cilia has an energetic autonomy of great importance, able to allow a valid functional activity also in the case of partial sufferance of the cellular unit. |
