Modification of lymph by lymph nodes. III. Effect of increased lymph hydrostatic pressure

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1985
Previous studies have shown that lymph nodes function as fluid exchange chambers in which the protein concentration of lymph is changed in the direction required to establish equilibrium of the Starling forces acting across the nodal blood-lymph barrier.

Sampling of Lymph from Lymph Vessels Afferent to the Supramammary Lymph Gland in the Cow

Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series A, 1989
SummaryA technique for catheterization of a lymph vessel afferent to the supramammary lymph gland in the cow is described. The operation was made with the cow under general anaesthesia. The lymph vessel was catheterized with a 30 cm long heparinized polyethylene catheter with an external diameter of 2.5 to 3 mm.

The Flow of Lymph

New England Journal of Medicine, 1969
THE lymph of reptiles and amphibia is returned to the blood circulation by the action of actual lymph hearts.1 Lymph hearts, as such, do not occur in mammals, and the source of the energy that is necessary to return the lymph to the bloodstream is still the subject of debate. Broadly speaking, there are two schools of thought.

Lymph Formation and Lymph Flow

1988
The fluid and protein movement and lymph formation can be described by two equations (Starling 1896, Taylor et al. 1973).

PERMEABILITY OF LYMPH VESSELS AND LYMPH PRESSURE

Archives of Surgery, 1944
The purpose of this article is to present the results of experiments which were intended more to explore new avenues in the physiology of the lymph system than to give intensive study to individual aspects of a limited problem. At this writing it is uncertain when it will be possible to support by a longer series of experiments the conclusions obtained

Lymph, lymph glands, and homeostasis.

Lymphology, 1993
Under aerobic conditions every respiring cell in the human body normally consumes oxygen to burn food and produce stoichiometric quantities of water which dissolves carbon dioxide and less soluble cell products. The effluent water and solutes appear in the form of lymph in the interstices between cells. The lymph effluent from all respiring cells flows

Lymph flow and lymph node metastasis in esophageal cancer

Surgery Today, 1995
This paper delineates which lymph nodes should be dissected due to the high frequency of metastasis associated with different types of primarily lesions of the thoracic esophagus. In cancer involving the upper third of the esophagus (Iu), lymph flow was found to be primary from the superior mediastinal area to the cervical area; in that involving the ...

When is a Lymph Node Dissection a Lymph Node Dissection? The Number of Lymph Nodes Resected in Sentinel and Axillary Lymph Node Dissections

Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2012
We sought to compare the number of lymph nodes (LN) resected in axillary lymph node dissections (ALND) and sentinel lymph node dissections (SLND), and to assess the validity of registry reporting for axillary staging in breast cancer.Women in the California Cancer Registry who underwent surgical axillary staging for T1/T2, M0 breast cancer between 2004

Modification of lymph by lymph nodes. II. Effect of increased lymph node venous blood pressure

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1983
A previous study from this laboratory demonstrated that lymph nodes can change the protein concentration and colloid osmotic pressure of lymph by transfer of protein-free fluid between the blood and lymph compartments. In that study a Starling force disequilibrium across the blood-lymph barrier caused fluid to transfer through the barrier in the ...

Cells Containing Birbeck Granules in the Lymph and the Lymph Node

1979
The lymph node is composed of functionally different compartments, each with a characteristic type of macrophage. In the marginal zone the plasmacell reaction is induced, in the germinal centre the memory B-cells are generated and in the paracortex recirculating T-cells are stimulated in thymus dependent humoral responses and in cell mediated responses.
