title: [The clearance function of the bronchial epithelium].
abstract: Modern literature is reviewed in terms of different views on cytological basis of clearing function of the bronchial epithelium, on the whole, and of its separate parts. Different factors influencing the mucociliary clearance are described. The necessity to elaborate some better, more objective methods of clearance disturbances diagnosis is emphasized. Principal attention is paid to regenerative-restorative processes, which normally occur in the bronchial epithelium, and to expediency of influencing them.
