The effect of feeding skim milk on the flow and composition of lymph from thoracic and intestinal ducts was studied in young calves by means of lymphatico-venous shunts. The changes observed were similar for both thoracic duct and intestinal lymph. Skim-milk feeding significantly reduced lymph flow but had no effect on total protein concentration in lymph and no effect on lymph: plasma ratios for total protein concentration. It is suggested that the reduction in lymph flow observed when calves are fed skim milk is due to a decreased blood flow through the intestinal capillaries.

Purpose: to determine preoperative SPECT-CT localization of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) in women with cervical cancer. Materials and methods: SPECT-CT visualization of SLN was performed in 44 women with clinical stage IB-IIB cervical cancer. SPECT-CT examinations started 120-240 min after peritumoural injections of 99mTc-radiocolloids (200-300MBq in 0.4-1ml). All visualized LNs with uptake of radiocolloids were regarded as SLN. In all women we determined topography of SLN and lymph-flow patterns. Results: SLN were successfully visualized in 93.1% cases (41/44 women). The bilateral pattern of lymph flow was mentioned in 26 (63.4%), monolateral - in 15 (36.5%) cases. SLN localized in external iliac region in 25 (60.9%), internal iliac - in 14 (34.1%), obturator - in 22 (53.6%), presacral - in 1 (2.4%), common iliac region - in 21 (53,8%) cases. Uptake of radiocolloids in paraaortal lymph nodes was mentioned in 14 (34.1%) women Conclusion: SPECT-CT visualization of SLN can give important information for surgery and radiotherapy planning.

The question addressed in this study was whether enterostatin, the pancreatic procolipase activation peptide, modulates intestinal hyaluronan turnover via lymph. In anesthetized cats, segments of ileum were surgically isolated from the proximal and distal gut, the draining lymphatic was cannulated, and the segment was autoperfused in situ. In several groups, concentrations of immunoreactive enterostatin in lymph were compared with that in plasma at baseline and elevated lymph flow and in the absence and presence of fat absorption. The baseline ratio of lymph enterostatin to that in plasma (L/P) in the absence of fat absorption was 1.44 +/- 0.29 compared with 4.93 +/- 0.42 after cream feeding (P < 0.05). In a separate group, when the intestinal lumen was perfused for 2 h with a mixture of oleic acid and taurocholate, enterostatin L/P doubled compared with baseline. At high lymph flows, enterostatin concentrations fell in all groups, resulting in an L/P of 0.47 +/- 0.09 (P < 0.05) in the absence of fat absorption, 0.77 +/- 0.35 after oleic acid, and 1.26 +/- 0.13 in the cream-fed group. These changes correlate with the pattern of hyaluronan efflux from the ileum into lymph after fat absorption [R.K. Reed, M.I Townsley, V.H. Pitts, T.C. Laurent, and A.E. Taylor. Am. J. Physiol, 263 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 26): G6-G11, 1992] However, in separate groups when enterostatin was introduced into ileum, either as a close intra-arterial bolus or via the intestinal lumen, there were no resultant changes in efflux of hyaluronan from the intestine into lymph. In conclusion, despite the fact that delivery of pancreatic exocrine secretions to the ileal lumen was blocked in this model, enterostatin concentration in lymph increased after fat absorption. Nonetheless, it seems clear that enterostatin does not modify intestinal hyaluronan turnover.
