Purpose: The aim of our investigation was to analyze the characteristics of basal microcirculation and microcirculation reactivity in miners with professional bronchitis using ultrasonography. Methods and Materials: 30 patients (all males, mean age 52.4 +/- 2.1 years) with professional bronchitis were examined. The time of work in mine and permanent contact with breeze was 23.8 +/- 5.2 years. The level of breeze concentration in all cases was 10 times higher than maximum allowable concentration. 90% of examined individuals were smokers. Subjects were studied in two separate groups: (1) patients with diagnosed pr…
