In 17 patients Biophilia NLS-graphy has detected signs of expiratory air trap in amounts from individual lobes to segments. In 7 patients the given symptom was combined with signs hypochromogeneity of pulmonary tissue at breath top. With the background of hypochromogenic zones we marked reduction of caliber of pulmonary artery’s corresponding branches. According to some authors, given symptoms indirectly evidence obliterating bronchiolitis, at which morphologists mark growth of granulations in lumen of distal bronchias and fibrosis of their walls up to almost full obliteration of lumen. As a result, at inhale the secondary lobe is filled with air, stretched, and at exhale is not fall down. The lobe restretching is not accompanied by destruction, resolution of its structures, as at emphysema.
In 5 patients of this group 3D computer Biophilia NLS-diagnostics has revealed cylindrical and varicose bronchiectases of bronchial tubes of 4-8 rates, in 18 patients hyperchromogeneity (4-5 points at the Fleindler’s scale) of bronchial tubes walls and an illegibility of their contours are noted. Besides, according to 3D computer Biophilia NLS-diagnostics data, inside secondary lobes occurrence of small hypochromogenic nidi against some strengthening of intralobular interstitial picture is noted in 11 patients. The given displays in the scientific literature are named as “a tree with the bulked up kidneys” or “toy little men” symptoms and they morphologically correspond to displays of infectious bronchiolitis of a various aetiology. Thus, in the given group of patients the combination of obliterating bronchiolitis with an infectious bronchitis and-or bronchiolitis is noted.
In 12 patients the combination of signs of emphysema and bronchiolitis is registered.
