Functional analysis and evaluation of respiratory cilia in healthy Chinese children.
CONCLUSIONS: We established the reference range for CBF, beat pattern and ultrastructure in healthy Chinese children. Using similar methodology, we found a lower overall mean CBF than previously obtained European values. This study highlights the need to establish normative data for ciliary function in different populations.
