Thoracic duct fistula and renal transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Thoracic duct drainage (TDD) was established for 21-115 days in 40 kidney recipients with an average removal per patient day of 4.7 1 lymph and 1.88 billion cells. Cellular and humoral immunity were depressed. TDD and immunosuppressive drugs were started

DR-bearing T lymphocytes in thoracic duct lymph [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
T cells having DR antigens were shown to be present in high numbers in the thoracic duct lymph of patients undergoing long-term drainage. As drainage progresses the proportion of T DR cells in the lymph increases to levels as high as 70% at 6 weeks ...

Chylothorax associated with lymphatic reflux in a thoracic duct tributary after lung cancer surgery

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, 2021
Chyle leaks are attributed to damage to the thoracic duct itself or its tributaries during surgery. Chylothorax after lung cancer surgery can occur due to damaged thoracic duct tributaries; however, little is known of the mechanism involved.

Effect of preoperative thoracic duct drainage on canine kidney transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Chronic drainage of the thoracic duct to the esophagus was developed in dogs, and its efficacy in immunomodulation was tested using kidney transplantation. Compared to 9.7 days in the control, the mean animal survival was prolonged to 9.9 days, 17.8 days,

The NADPH oxidase NOX4 regulates redox and metabolic homeostasis preventing HCC progression

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Loss of NOX4 in HCC tumor cells induces metabolic reprogramming in a Nrf2/MYC‐dependent manner to promote HCC progression. Abstract Background and Aims The NADPH oxidase NOX4 plays a tumor‐suppressor function in HCC. Silencing NOX4 confers higher proliferative and migratory capacity to HCC cells and increases their in vivo tumorigenic potential in ...

Combining non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance thoracic ductography with vascular contrast-enhanced computed tomography to identify the canine thoracic duct [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Veterinary Journal, 2020
Background: In humans, visualization of the thoracic duct by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been attempted, and recent advances have enabled clinicians to visualize the thoracic duct configuration in a less invasive manner.
