Abstract
Experiments were conducted on dogs to study the effect of heparin, obsidan, and rheogluman on the rate of lymph flow from the thoracic duct and the lymph coagulation potential in acute myocardial infarction. Rheoglumin produced the most marked lymph stimulating effect. The effect of heparin and partly that of rheogluman on lymph coagulability is mediated.

Abstract
The joint effect of the blockade of serotonin deposition and changes of the circulating corticotropin on the production of lymph differs substantially from the effect caused by the same factors separately. The activation of the hormones production in anterior lobe of the pituitary gland plays a compensatory role in case of the blockade of serotonin deposition in thrombocytes and in the adaptation of hemolymphomicrocirculation to stress conditions.

Abstract
The lung and systemic response to Escherichia coli endotoxin either 2 or 5 micrograms/kg was measured in 16 sheep with chronic lung and soft tissue lymph fistulae. Oxidant-induced lung and liver lipid peroxidation was measured as tissue malondialdehyde (MDA). Conjugated dienes were also monitored. Both doses produced a comparable pulmonary hypertension and hypoxia as well as a comparable increase in protein-rich lymph flow, QL. However, lung MDA was significantly greater with the 5 micrograms/kg than with the 2 micrograms/kg dose, both being more than twofold greater than controls. The systemic physiologic responses between the two doses were quite different. The 5 microgram/kg dose resulted in a significant increase in oxygen delivery (DO2), oxygen consumption (VO2), and decrease in arterial O2 extraction in the 3-5 hr postendotoxin period compared with the 2 microgram/kg dose. A twofold increase in protein-rich soft tissue QL was also seen after the 5 micrograms/kg dose, whereas QL was not changed after 2 micrograms/kg. Liver MDA was only increased by 30% over controls with both doses. We conclude that the relationship between oxidant change and physiologic response varies considerably between lung and systemic tissues after endotoxemia with the degree of lung lipid peroxidation corresponding with the degree of impairment in systemic tissue O2 extraction and the onset of delivery-dependent O2 consumption.

Abstract
Endothelin is a 21 amino acid peptide which is produced by the vascular endothelium and is believed to be the mediator of endothelium-dependent vasoconstriction. In the current study we assessed the ability of synthetic human endothelin-1 to affect prenodal lymphatic vessel contractility in the canine forelimb. Intralymphatic infusion of endothelin at 1.09 x 10(-9), 1.09 x 10(-8) and 1.09 x 10(-7) M significantly constricted lymphatic vessels as evidenced by dose-dependent increases in lymphatic perfusion pressure. The increase in lymphatic perfusion pressure seen during intralymphatic infusion of endothelin at 1.09 x 10(-8) M during the intra-arterial infusion of phentolamine was not significantly different from that seen prior to phentolamine, indicating that endothelin-mediated lymphatic constriction is not alpha-receptor mediated. Intra-arterial infusion of endothelin at three infusion rates significantly increased forelimb arterial, systemic and lymphatic perfusion pressures. The constriction seen when endothelin (1.09 x 10(-8) M) was infused intralymphatically in the intact lymphatic system was not significantly different from that observed when only the prenodal lymph vessel was perfused. This indicated that the lymph nodes and efferent lymph vessels do not contribute significantly to the lymphatic constriction produced by endothelin. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that endothelin may modulate lymphatic function under either normal or pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
In experiments on rabbits it was found that acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was associated with a disorder of the drainage function the lymphatic system and a drastic increase of the lymph toxicity. The administration of propranolol (obsidan), amiodaron (cordaron), lidocaine (xycaine), trimecaine (mesocaine), nitroglycerin, panangin and heparin exerted the pronounced stimulating action on the lymph outflow rate. Strophanthin-K, corglycon and digo in possessed the moderate lymphogenic effect. Novocainamide (procainamide), verapamil (isoptine) and panangin exerted no influence on the lymph outflow rate. The administration of the above mentioned drugs in the initial period of AMI sharply increased the toxic properties of the lymph; subsequently the lymph toxicity gradually decreased and was less than in control (in AMI treated with drugs).

Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to determine in skin microvasculature the dose response to bradykinin (BRADY). Over a range 0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 microgram/kg/min BRADY was infused into the femoral artery of anesthetized dogs while lymph was collected from the hind paw. After 4 hours of continuous BRADY, venous pressure was increased 20 to 30 mm Hg by tightening a tourniquet around the thigh to further increase lymph flow and achieve a filtration-independent lymph-plasma ratio, for albumin (R Alb), immunoglobulin G (R IgG), and immunoglobulin M (R IgM). These proteins were measured with immunoelectrophoresis and immunodiffusion. MEAN +/- SD, * p less than 0.05, ANOVA, DIFFERENT FROM LOWER DOSE. [Formula: see text] BRADY caused a dose-related increase in microvascular permeability up to 0.4 microgram/kg/min. The increase in the lymph-plasma ratio for the large plasma proteins (IgM, molecular radius 110 A) is of the same magnitude as for albumin, (molecular radius 36 A), and this suggests BRADY increased the number but not the size of "large pores" in the microvascular membrane.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to determine if coronary vascular permeability (CVP) increases and if myocardial edema develops in the canine heart after local exposure to histamine. Histamine (50 or 15 micrograms/min) or compound 48/80 (0.1-0.2 mg/kg) was infused into the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) of open-chest dogs, and changes in CVP were determined by comparing prenodal cardiac lymph flow (Q1) and lymph-to-plasma protein concentration ratio (C1/Cp) before and during histamine or compound 48/80 treatment. CVP increased in most, but not all, experiments with both doses of histamine as indicated by simultaneous increases in both Q1 and C1/Cp. The injection of compound 48/80 into the LAD of four dogs caused unequivocal increases in CVP in only one experiment. Compared with the effect of histamine on the forelimb, the average increases in Q1 and C1/Cp were not large with either histamine or compound 48/80, which suggests that the increases in CVP were relatively small. Moreover, edema did not develop. These results indicate that the coronary microvasculature of the intact dog heart is relatively insensitive to increases in permeability produced by histamine. Furthermore, the release of histamine from myocardial mast cells would not be expected to play a major role in the myocardial edema that develops under various pathological conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of a dobutamine infusion on the relationship between oxygen consumption (VO2) and oxygen delivery (DO2) after endotoxin administration, as well as the rate of fluid and protein loss from permeability-injured tissue. METHODS Unanesthetized adult sheep with lung and soft-tissue lymph fistulas were given 5 micrograms/kg Escherichia coli endotoxin alone, or E. coli endotoxin plus a continuous infusion of dobutamine (10 to 15 micrograms/kg.min) beginning at 3 hrs. Lymph flow reflected the vascular permeability and surface area perfused. Data were compared with dobutamine alone and with controls. Filling pressures were maintained at baseline. RESULTS Dobutamine alone produced a 75% increase in DO2, a transient 10 +/- 4% increase in VO2, but no increase in lung or soft-tissue lymph flow. Beginning at 3 hrs after endotoxin alone, a significant increase in protein-rich lung and soft-tissue lymph flow was noted, but only a transient 14 +/- 5% increase in VO2. Plasma proteins were slightly decreased. With the addition of dobutamine at 3 hrs postendotoxin, DO2 increased by greater than 50% for the 3-hr infusion period, while VO2 increased for a 30-min period by 25 +/- 8%, which was not different than endotoxin alone. Lung and soft-tissue lymph flow did not increase further, but plasma proteins did decrease significantly compared with controls and with endotoxin alone. CONCLUSION Increasing DO2 with dobutamine postendotoxin does not increase the surface area perfused or the edema process, at least in lung and soft tissue. Therefore, no microvessels in these tissues are reopened with dobutamine when normal filling pressures are present. Dobutamine administration does not increase VO2 more than the increase seen with endotoxin alone.

Abstract
Interleukin-2 therapy leads to respiratory dysfunction caused by increased vascular permeability. This study examines the role of oxygen-derived free radicals (OFR). Sheep (n = 6) with chronic lung lymph fistulae were given interleukin-2, 10(5) units/kg, as an intravenous bolus. The mean pulmonary artery pressure rose from 13 to 23 mm Hg (p less than 0.05) at 1 hour and remained elevated for 4 hours, although the pulmonary artery wedge pressure was unchanged at 4 mm Hg. Arterial oxygen tension fell from 88 to 77 mm Hg (p less than 0.05). Lung lymph flow rose from 2.2 to 6.4 ml/30 min (p less than 0.05) at 3 hours. This rise coincided with an increase in the lymph/plasma protein ratio from 0.67 to 0.77 (p less than 0.05) and lymph protein clearance from 1.5 to 4.4 ml/30 min (p less than 0.05), indicating increased lung microvascular permeability. Interleukin-2 led to transient increases in plasma thromboxane B2 from 168 to 388 pg/ml (p less than 0.05) and lung lymph thromboxane B2 from 235 to 694 pg/ml (p less than 0.05). The leukocyte count fell from 8156 to 4375/mm3 (p less than 0.05) primarily caused by a 78% drop in lymphocyte count. Platelet count declined from 292 to 184 X 10(3)/mm3 (p less than 0.05). Pretreatment with the hydroxyl radical scavenger dimethylthiourea, 1 gm/kg, intravenously, (n = 6) prevented the interleukin-2-induced increase in mean pulmonary artery pressure, lung lymph flow, lymph/plasma protein ration, lymph protein clearance, and thromboxane B2 levels in plasma and lung lymph. The arterial oxygen tension decreased from 85 to 80 mm Hg (p less than 0.05). The leukocyte count declined from 7854 to 6229/mm3 (p less than 0.05), but this was not as low nor as prolonged as the interleukin-2 group. Further, the decrease in platelet count was prevented (p less than 0.05). Interleukin-2 incubated with sheep or human leukocytes led to a dose-dependent increase in intracellular hydrogen peroxide production by neutrophils as measured by flow cytometry of dichlorofluorescein oxidation. These data indicate that interleukin-2 stimulates OFR generation and that OFR moderate the interleukin-2-induced increased lung permeability.

Abstract
Three series of investigations were carried out in experiments on rabbits with administration under the conjunctiva or by means of electrophoresis of lymphotrophic preparations of different mechanisms of actions with the use of a morphological marker: Gerot's mass and Indian ink jelly with subsequent histological study of the eyeball. Dalargin dilated structured liquorolymphatic drainage ducts of the eye. Terrylythin produced a selective effect on the pigment epithelium of the retina, and mannitol provided penetration of the marker into the retina neurons. Thus, it has been shown that it is possible to control selectively the humoral transport of some tissues of the eye by means of lymphotrophic agents.

Abstract
In vitro systems have provided increasing evidence of significant lymphocyte transmembrane signalling by plasma membrane receptors which utilize antigen and other ligand activation of the inositol phosphate dual second messenger system of intracellular signalling. Elevation of intracellular Ca2+ and activation of protein kinase C are important products of these signals and appear to provide a complete set of mitogenic signals for both T and B cells. Calcium inophore and phorbol ester have been found to mimic these events in vitro and are here employed in vitro to study their effects on lymphocyte traffic and efferent lymph flow through primary peripheral lymph nodes of sheep and on the output into efferent lymph of the arachidonic acid metabolite, thromboxane B2. Calcium ionophore and phorbol ester were given alone or in combination to popliteal lymph nodes of sheep by drainage area injection or by acute infusion into cannulated afferent lympatics of study popliteal lymph nodes whose efferent lymphatic was chronically cannulated for study. The findings resembled those of drainage area immunization with an early increase in efferent lymph flow and prompt and marked depressions in the output into efferent lymph of both small recirculating and blast lymphocytes ('shutdown', 'recruitment'), followed by a marked increase in the output into efferent lymph of both small recirculating and blast lymphocytes. The greatest elevation in both small recirculating and blast lymphocyte outputs was at 24 and 48 h following phorbol ester and calcium ionophore administration. Acute phorbol ester and calcium ionophore administration was associated with a prompt and marked elevation in efferent lymph levels of thromboxane B2 which were of short duration. The findings observed here with lymph node drainage area infusion/injection of both phorbol ester and calcium ionophore are quite similar to those encountered in this sheep lymphocyte traffic model following popliteal lymph node drainage area immunization with killed Salmonella muenchen antigen.

Abstract
Oral phosphatidylcholine at 900 mg/day was given to 4 patients with high lymph absorption for 8 weeks. Fluid and solute transfer before and after treatment were compared to 4 similar controls given placebo. None of the patients had overt ultrafiltration problems. After treatment, overnight peritoneal effluent phospholipid content did not change significantly. Ultrafiltration as well as solute and glucose transfer remained unchanged at the end of 8 weeks. A controlled trial on patients with overt ultrafiltration problems for a longer duration is required to further elucidate the role of phosphatidylcholine supplementation in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Abstract
The effect of the beta-agonist, ritodrine HCl, was studied on cardiac output (CO) and pulmonary lymph flow (QL) in sheep. Increased CO is associated with an increase in pulmonary QL in sheep during exercise. Isoproterenol increases CO but has not been shown to increase pulmonary QL. Ritodrine HCl was chosen because of its association with pulmonary edema when used to halt premature labor in pregnant women. Unanesthetized sheep received an intravenous infusion of ritodrine in increasing doses over 4 h up to a maximum of 6.3 micrograms/kg/min. Pulmonary pressure increased 2 mmHg after 1 h and returned to baseline by hours 3 and 4 with no change in left atrial pressure or lymph to plasma protein ratio. Pulmonary QL increased by 61% and CO by 80% at hour 3 of infusion (ritodrine dose 5.4 micrograms/kg/min) and remained at this level. Pulmonary QL and CO (normalized to baseline) correlated, r = 0.72, p less than 0.001, but there was no correlation between pulmonary QL and calculated microvascular pressure. Although an increase in pulmonary microvascular endothelium permeability with concurrent pulmonary vasodilation can not be completely ruled out, it appears from this study that beta-agonist therapy with ritodrine increases pulmonary QL by a CO related recruitment of microvessels.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-2 therapy leads to respiratory dysfunction due to increased vascular permeability. This study examines the role of the chemoattractant, immunomodulator, and permeability-promoting agent leukotriene (LT) B4 in this setting. Sheep with chronic lung lymph fistulae were given IL-2, 10(5) U/kg as an IV bolus (n = 6). Within 2 hours this led to a significant increase in LTB4 levels in both plasma and lung lymph. The mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) rose while the pulmonary artery wedge pressure was unchanged. Arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) fell. Lung lymph flow (QL) was tripled (P less than 0.05) at 3 hours, coinciding with an increase in the lymph/plasma (L/P) protein ratio (P less than 0.05) resulting in an increase in the lymph protein clearance (P less than 0.05), data documenting increased microvascular permeability to protein. Mild leukopenia and thrombocytopenia (P less than 0.05) occurred. Body temperature rose and shaking chills were common. Pretreatment with the lipoxygenase inhibitor diethylcarbamazine (DEC; n = 6) reduced baseline plasma LTB4 levels and prevented the IL-2-induced increases in LTB4 in plasma and lung lymph (P less than 0.05). In contrast to IL-2 treatment alone, DEC blunted the increase in MPAP and prevented the rises in QL (P less than 0.05), L/P protein ratio (P less than 0.05), and lymph protein clearance (P less than 0.05). DEC also prevented the IL-2-induced leukopenia, the fall in platelet count, and the rise in body temperature (P less than 0.05, respectively). Infusion of IL-2 excipient control (n = 5) did not affect plasma or lymph LTB4 levels but there were mild increases in MPAP (P less than 0.05). The QL also rose but this occurred while the L/P protein ratio fell (P less than 0.05). Body temperature rose moderately. The PaO2, leukocyte, and platelet counts were unaffected. These data indicate that IL-2 administration leads to pulmonary dysfunction manifest by pulmonary hypertension and increased vascular permeability, events associated with LTB4 synthesis and prevented by DEC. Leukotriene B4 appears therefore to mediate the IL-2-induced lung injury.

Abstract
It was stated experimentally in dogs that the elevation of the lymph toxicity was more expressed than that of the blood in acute myocardial infarction. The shortening of the half-life period of paramecia evidenced the above mentioned fact. The injection of the lymphogogue preparations (obsidan, heparin, rheogluman) after coronary artery occlusion resulted in distinct rise of blood and lymph toxicity in early periods because of the "washing out" of toxic products from the ischemic myocardium, followed by normalization that had been more quicker than in controls.

Abstract
The systemic circulation to the lung is thought to be an important microvascular exchange region which may contribute to pulmonary edema resulting from airway injury. In a chronic sheep model, we have evaluated the flow through the bronchial artery after airway injury caused by the aspiration of 2.5 ml/kg of 0.1 N hydrochloric acid with and without inhibition of thromboxane synthetase and cyclooxygenase. Cyclooxygenase inhibition with ibuprofen resulted in no rise in bronchial artery blood flow associated with airway acid aspiration (9.8 +/- 1.72 ml/min to 63.7 +/- 8.9 ml/min in the control group versus 11.3 +/- 2.5 ml/min to 10.3 +/- 3.4 ml/min in the ibuprofen group). No difference in bronchial artery blood flow was noted between control acid aspiration and acid aspiration with thromboxane synthetase inhibition. Significant early reduction in lung lymph flow was noted in the cyclooxygenase inhibition group compared to control. These data suggest that inhibition of the cyclooxygenase pathway of eicosanoid production may lessen the injury caused by airway acid aspiration. The decrease in airway blood flow with associated reduction in lymph flow suggests that airway blood flow may be important in the generation of pulmonary edema in this model.

Abstract
Active drainage of cardiac lymph using hyaluronidase was attempted in dogs. The results were satisfactory and the ischemic myocardium was salvaged. The infarct risk area (I/R) ratio decreased after drainage. Regional myocardial ischemia and infarction were provided by means of ligature of the left coronary artery for 120 and 240 minutes respectively. Cardiac lymph was collected by conventional procedures. Enzymes released from the myocardium increased significantly in the cardiac lymph. The volume of cardiac lymph gradually increased after ligature of the coronary artery. Administration of hyaluronidase further increased the cardiac lymph flow and significantly decreased the I/R ratio as determined by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) and methylene blue staining. Drainage of the cardiac lymph salvaged the ischemic myocardium. Reduction of interstitial edema and augmentation of cardiac lymph flow with the hyaluronidase prevented the development of the infarction. This is the first documentation of the effect of active drainage of cardiac lymph on the development of infarction through observation of the I/R ratio.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess whether superoxide and leukocyte adhesion glycoproteins (CD18) mediate the leukocyte adherence to mesenteric microvessels and increased intestinal microvascular permeability induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF). PAF was infused into the arterial supply of an isolated autoperfused segment of cat intestine. Thirty minutes into the infusion, the number of adherent leukocytes within mesenteric venules was measured. This was followed by intravenous administration of either human recombinant superoxide dismutase (hSOD), hydrogen peroxide-inactivated hSOD, or a monoclonal antibody against the leukocyte adhesion molecule CD18 (MoAb IB4), and 30 min later, adherence measurements were repeated. hSOD and MoAb IB4 produced a 30 and 66% decrease, respectively, in leukocyte adherence, whereas inactivated hSOD had no effect. Adherence of PAF-activated cat neutrophils to plastic was reduced only by MoAb IB4, suggesting that PAF-induced leukocyte adherence is mediated by both CD18 and superoxide and that endothelium is necessary for the superoxide-mediated adhesion. In a correlate study, hSOD and MoAb IB4 were shown to attenuate the PAF-induced increase in microvascular permeability by 40 and 70%, respectively. These data indicate that the increased microvascular permeability induced by PAF can be attenuated when leukocyte adherence to microvascular endothelium is reduced using molecules that either bind to CD18 adhesive glycoproteins or scavenge superoxide.

Abstract
To test the regulatory effect of dietary triglyceride (TG) on rat lymphatic apolipoprotein B (apo B) transport, lymph-fistula rats were infused intraduodenally for 8 h at 3 ml/h with a lipid emulsion containing 40 mumol TG labeled with glycerol [9,10-3H(N)]triolein, 7.8 mumol egg phosphatidylcholine, and 57 mumol sodium taurocholate in phosphate-buffered saline with or without 1 mg/h Pluronic L81 (L81). L81 is known to prevent lipid transport in the intestine by inhibiting the formation of chylomicrons (CM). This action of L81 is quickly reversible by merely replacing L81 infusion by saline infusion. In the control rats (without L81 added to the infusate), the amount of apo B secreted in either whole lymph, CM, or the very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) fractions did not change significantly during lipid infusion compared with fasting. Compared with the fasting, the apo B output in lymph during L81 plus lipid or saline infusion in the experimental rats did not change significantly. The lymphatic apo B output data were also supported by the incorporation studies using [3H]leucine. In summary, these data demonstrate that the absorption of a physiological load of lipid into lymph does not affect the apo B synthesis in the mucosa or the secretion of apo B in lymph. Furthermore, the action of L81 is probably not by inhibiting intestinal apo B production because apo B secretion was not affected by the presence of L81. This study also demonstrates that the number of CM particles made by the small intestine remains relatively constant during fasting or active lipid uptake and transport. During active lipid absorption, instead of increasing the number of CM, the enterocytes expand the size of the CM particles. Lastly, the number and TG content of VLDL particles synthesized and secreted by the small intestine also seems to remain relatively constant during fasting and active lipid absorption.

Abstract
The objective was to study dalargin in experiment and its effect on drainage tracts in norm and with experimental hypertension, modulating secondary glaucoma. Investigations have been made on 82 rabbit eyes. The overall results show, that subconjunctival and electrophoretic dalargin injection of (0.1%-0.2-0.5 ml) causes the expansion of anterior and posterior lymph-drainage tracts of the eye and have hypotensive effect for ocular hypertension and secondary glaucoma.

Abstract
The effect of the new inhibitor of acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol-acyltransferase, octimibate (sodium 8-[1,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole-2yl)-oxy)octanoate), on the cholesterol transport in rat mesenteric lymph was evaluated. During intraduodenal infusion of a triglyceride-phospholipid emulsion, volume and triglyceride concentration of lymph collected from a mesenteric lymph fistula remained constant in control and treated rats. After addition of 3.75 mg 3H-cholesterol/h to the intraduodenal infusion, cholesterol content of lymph increased to about double the basic concentration in control rats. Yet there was no significant change of lymph cholesterol in treated animals, which had received 40 mg octimibate followed by ca. 120 mg/24 h x kg body weight octimibate added to the intraduodenal infusion. Up to 35% of the infused dose of 3H-cholesterol were recovered in lymph of control rats, in contrast to only 23% in lymph of treated rats. It is concluded that the inhibition of the intestinal acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol-acyltransferase by octimibate may prevent the increase of cholesterol in mesenteric lymph induced by dietary cholesterol.

Abstract
The results of studies of the accessory functions of various heterologous cells in gamma interferon production by human blood and lymph T-lymphocytes are presented. It was shown that, in addition to autologous and allogeneic monocytes, the role of accessory cells may be played to some extent by xenogeneic (mouse) monocytes as well as human continuous cells of different origin. The degree of the accessory function was different in interaction of the accessory cells with T-lymphocytes from blood and lymph.

Abstract
We examined the role of circulating granulocytes in the pulmonary microvascular response to leukotriene B4 (LTB4) by prior depletion of circulating granulocytes using hydroxyurea. LTB4 (2 micrograms/kg injection followed by infusion of 2 micrograms/kg over 15 min) produced transient increases in pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, indicating that neutrophils were not required for the pulmonary hemodynamic effects of LTB4. Infusion of LTB4 in granulocyte-depleted sheep also resulted in transient increases in pulmonary lymph flow (QL) with no significant change in the lymph-to-plasma protein concentration ratio (L/P), findings similar to those in control animals. In vitro studies indicated that LTB4 (10(-7) or 10(-9) M) produced a transient adherence of neutrophils to cultured pulmonary artery endothelial monolayers. Maximal responses occurred at 10 min after the addition of LTB4 to the endothelial cell-neutrophil coculture system, and the adherence decreased to base line within 60 min. LTB4 infusion in sheep also produced a transient uptake of autologous 111In-oxine-labeled neutrophils. The results indicate that LTB4-mediated increase in pulmonary transvascular protein clearance (QL x L/P) is independent of circulating granulocytes.
