[Roentgenomorphological substantiation of drainage of the thoracic duct in patients with liver cirrhosis].

On the basis of an analysis of rentgeno-morphological investigations of the thoracic lymphatic duct (TLD) in 115 patients with complications of hepatocirrhosis and 50 postmortem observations the authors make a conclusion that one of the main factors of the development of insufficiency of TLD in hepatocirrhosis is an excess of lymph resulting in congestion in the duct. It may be considered as a cause for drainage of the TLD in patients with hepatocirrhosis.

[Catecholamine content in the wall of the thoracic duct of the dog during postnatal development].

Studies have been made on the content of catecholamines (norepinephrine, adrenaline, dihydroxyphenylalanine) in the wall of the thoracic lymphatic duct of puppies during their first 3 months of postnatal life. It was found that within this period, the content of norepinephrine increases, that of adrenaline remains unchanged, whereas dihydroxyphenylalanine is detected only in animals of the first month. The increase in norepinephrine content indicates gradual maturation of the adrenergic innervation in the wall of the lymphatic duct.

[Determining the type of drowning based on the levels of blood in the thoracic duct lymph].

The degree of lymphogemy in persons who died of different causes (including drowning) was studied by histologic analysis of the thoracic lymphatic ducts. It was found that quantitative estimation of the presented feature makes it possible to estimate the specific type of drowning which depends on the level of venous hypertension in the system of superior vena cava. This phenomena is strongly marked in spastic and mixed types of drowning and is absent in aspiration and reflex types.
