To clarify the changes in bronchial cartilage in diseased airways, we performed       morphometric analysis of airways in autopsied lungs of 16 patients with chronic       bronchitis (Group CB), pulmonary emphysema (Group PE), and bronchial asthma       (Group BA), and in control patients without respiratory diseases (Group CN).
