The lymphatic drainage of the goat heart.

The detailed knowledge of the morphological structure, drainage pathways and patterns, the first tier lymph node of the cardiac lymphatic and its relationship with the circulatory system has not yet been completed. Although, the cardiac lymphatics had been described with renewed interest in past years, which was attributed to the transparent nature of lymphatic vessels that are difficult to be observed. In this study, cardiac lymphatics of the goat heart were perfused by a direct microinjecting technique with a radiopaque mixture.

Hemolymph Node - An Immunomorphlogical Organ: Modeling the Hemolymph Node by Allografting Renal Tissue in the Rat.

There is no authoritative characterization of the attributes of the hemolymph node (HLN) since Gibbes' first description in 1884. Early reports showed that HLN are found near the kidney in human and animals with the feature of numerous erythrocytes in sinuses. Subsequent studies mainly focused on anatomy and histology, such as the source, distribution, and quantity of erythrocytes in sinuses.

The deep lymphatic anatomy of the hand.

Background: The deep lymphatic anatomy of the hand still remains the least described in medical literature.

Methods: Eight hands were harvested from four nonembalmed human cadavers amputated above the wrist. A small amount of 6% hydrogen peroxide was employed to detect the lymphatic vessels around the superficial and deep palmar vascular arches, in webs from the index to little fingers, the thenar and hypothenar areas.

Perforating and deep lymphatic vessels in the knee region: an anatomical study and clinical implications.

Background: To determine the relationship between the perforating and deep lymphatic vessels in the knee region for clinical implications.

Methods: Four lower limbs from two unembalmed human cadavers were used. Under a surgical microscope, 6% hydrogen peroxide was employed to detect lymph vessels accompanying the small saphenous vein, anterior tibial, posterior tibial and fibular blood vessels all commencing from distal ends of specimens.

A Method for Making a Lymphatic Specimen of the Dorsum of the Hand.

Purpose: To make a lymphatic specimen of the dorsum of the hand for educational and clinical purposes.

Methods: A total of four hands from two unembalmed human cadavers were used. Under a surgical microscope, 6% hydrogen peroxide was employed to detect the lymphatic vessels commencing from fingers.
