ABSTRACT The effect of three doses of prednisolone and ACTH respectively on the weight of the body, the lungs and the hilar lymph nodes was studied on rats killed one month after the intratracheal (i.t.) injection of 50 mg of fine-particulate quartz. The prednisolone was administered via the drinking water, and the ACTH was injected intraperitoneally during the period between the i.t. injection of quartz dust and the killing of the animals. Prednisolone causes the rats to become cachectic and reduces the weight of the hilar lymph nodes. It also retards the transport of quartz dust from the lungs via the lymphatics. All these effects increase with increasing doses of prednisolone. However, its effect on the lung weight is insignificant. ACTH does not affect the body weight, but retards the weight increase of the lungs and the hilar lymph nodes. These effects increase with increasing doses of ACTH, and seem to be connected with an ability of ACTH to promote the clearance of quartz dust from the lungs and hilar lymph nodes. The method used, however, does not make it possible to differentiate quantitatively between any ACTH effects on the bronchogenie and lymphatic lung-clearance mechanisms. Available data, however, indicate that the stimulation of the dust transport from the lungs and hilar lymph nodes is, at least to some extent, related to the lymphatic system.

ABSTRACT The effect of cortisol on the weight of the body, lungs and hilar lymph nodes, and its effect on the lymphatic lung clearance was studied in rats killed two and four months respectively after intratracheal (i.t.) injection with 20 mg of fine-particulate quartz. Cortisol was administered via the drinking water, in a dose of about 0.4 mg per animal per day, during two months before the animals were killed. Cortisol causes the rats to become cachectic and reduces the weight of the hilar lymph nodes, but does not affect the lung weight. It also retards the translocation rate of quartz particles from the lungs to the hilar lymph nodes when cortisol treatment is started immediately or two months after the i.t. quartz-dust injection. This tends to increase the silica content of the lungs and to decrease it in the hilar lymph nodes. The effect on the hilar lymph-node weight is, however, more pronounced than can be explained by the cortisol-induced reduction of the silica content of these nodes. There are no definite indications of specific »anti-quartz« or »anti-silicotic« effects of cortisol on the rat lung under the experimental conditions used.

The lymphatic system is very important in the immunological activities of the body. Clinicians confirm the diagnosis of infectious diseases by palpating the involved cutaneous lymph node for changes in size, heat, and consistency. Clinical pathologists diagnose systemic diseases through biopsies of superficial lymph nodes. In many parts of the world the goat is considered as an important source of milk and meat products.The lymphatic system has been studied extensively. These studies lack precise information on the natural morphology of the lymph nodes and their vascular and cellular constituent. This is due to using improper technique for such studies. A few studies used the SEM, conducted by cutting the lymph node with a blade. The morphological data collected by this method are artificial and do not reflect the normal three dimensional surface of the examined area of the lymph node. SEM has been used to study the lymph vessels and lymph nodes of different animals. No information on the cutaneous lymph nodes of the goat has ever been collected using the scanning electron microscope.

Insight Into

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining proper physiological function in the body. Its removal of proteins and other particulate matter from the tissue spaces is particularly important for the body’s prevention of extracellular edema [1]. After fluid is absorbed by the initial lymphatics, it is transported to lymph nodes where filtration occurs. In addition, the lymphatic system serves as a common pathway of initial metastases to regional lymph nodes for certain types of cancers [2]. Thus, the characterization of mass transport in the lymphatic system could lead to unprecedented insight into the treatment of such pathologies.

Bacterial Dissemination

Lymphatic vessels permeate tissues around the body, returning fluid from interstitial spaces back to the blood after passage through the lymph nodes, which are important sites for adaptive responses to all types of pathogens. Involvement of the lymphatics in the pathogenesis of bacterial infections is not well studied. Despite offering an obvious conduit for pathogen spread, the lymphatic system has long been regarded to bar the onward progression of most bacteria. There is little direct data on live virulent bacteria, instead understanding is largely inferred from studies investigating immune responses to viruses or antigens in lymph nodes. Recently, we have demonstrated that extracellular bacterial lymphatic metastasis of virulent strains of Streptococcus pyogenes drives systemic infection. Accordingly, it is timely to reconsider the role of lymph nodes as absolute barriers to bacterial dissemination in the lymphatics. Here, we summarise the routes and mechanisms by which an increasing variety of bacteria are acknowledged to transit through the lymphatic system, including those that do not necessarily require internalisation by host cells. We discuss the anatomy of the lymphatics and other factors that influence bacterial dissemination, as well as the consequences of underappreciated bacterial lymphatic metastasis on disease and immunity.

STUDIES on the site of formation of antibodies have been in progress in this laboratory for some time. The investigations to be reviewed here are those conducted in recent years using the technic of cell transfer. These studies followed an earlier series in which the experimental approach involved the injection of particulate antigenic material into the tissues of rabbits and the examination of tissues and fluids of the lymphatic system for antibodies to the antigen injected. It had been observed that when antigens were injected into the hind foot pads of rabbits, homologous antibodies could be found in whole tissue extracts of the draining lymph nodes at titers which might, in the early days of the antibody response, exceed the concentration of the antibody found in the blood serum at the same time. These findings were in agreement with those of McMaster et al. In the case of pooled mouse lymph nodes regional to sites of injection of antigens. It was also shown in this earlier series of studies that antibody could be found in lymph obtained from the efferent lymphatic vessel of lymph nodes draining sites of injection of antigens and, furthermore, within the lymph in higher concentration in extracts of the cells of the lymph than in the lymph plasma. In this work antibodies were being measured in extracts of lymphatic tissue. The experimental situation was complicated by the fact that the lymphatic system is one which is spread throughout the body and of which each unit (spleen, lymph nodes) consists of 2 major portions each of which, in turn, contains several species of cells.

Knowledge of the lymphatic system plays critical importance in surgical oncology. The study of the lymphatic system and its role in tumor metastasis continues to advance with new anatomical and surgical studies, and with a new study, we can gain a better understanding on how aggressive surgeons need to be with nodal dissection while balancing the complications with overly aggressive approaches. The lymphatics of the inguinal region represent a network of lymph nodes and vessels, which act as the bridge among the lower extremities, pelvis, perineum, and rest of the body. These lymph nodes are of particular importance in the metastatic spread of genitourinary and lower gastrointestinal epithelial cancer to the inguinal nodes. The aim of this article is to reveal the literature with regard to the inguinal lymph nodes and their relation in various carcinomas.

This literature review highlights the role of the immunocompetence of the lymph substance and the oral mucosa in various clinical forms of lymphadenitis of the maxillofacial area in children. The purpose of the work was to conduct a reflective analysis of the importance of their protective responses in the development of inflammation in regional lymph nodes. According to modern conceptions about the morpho-functional significance of the lymphatic system, it is considered first of all as one of the components of the body protective system, which is anatomically closely related to the vascular system and includes capillaries, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, trunks and ducts through which the lymph flows from organs and systems to the site of the merge of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. In response to entering foreign particles bearing signs of alienation into the body, lymphocytes and related antibodies are being produced in the organs of the lymphatic system and then are transferred to the site of injury through the lymphatic passageways, where the immune response takes place. The presence of a significant number of nosological forms of the disease, the factors contributing to the development of acute or chronic inflammation in the lymph nodes of the face and neck can be explained by the diversity of functions performed by them and the imperfect level of the development of structural elements of the immune system in children at the general and local levels. According to the fact that the oral mucous membrane is borderline anatomical substance through which the antigenic loading is directly carried out, it is its immunocompetence that can greatly affect on the high probability of the development of inflammatory processes of odontogenic and non-odontogenic origin. The lack of in-depth information about the multifactorial mechanisms of the aetiology and pathogenesis of lymphadenitis of the maxillofacial area of different genesis in children causes poses some difficulties in their understanding, especially in children with signs of the developmental disorders in the antenatal and early postnatal periods that influences ontogenesis, thus impacting the strength of the body systemic and local immune responses. Therefore, the study of the morphological and immunohistochemical architectonics of certain sections of the oral mucosa and regional lymphatic formations including investigation of the level of their nonspecific and specific protection is an important factor in substantiating the appropriateness to include immunocorrection medicines of different pharmacological actions into the integrated therapy.

The widespread worldwide spread of acute respiratory diseases is an urgent problem in health care. Expressed polyetiology of respiratory diseases does not allow to limit the use of specific vaccine preparations and dictates the need to use to combat them a variety of non-specific means that stimulate the natural resistance of the human body. The main pharmacological action of sodium deoxyribonucleate is the stimulation of phagocytic activity of T-helpers and T-killers, increasing the functional activity of neutrophils and monocytes/ macrophages, providing regeneration and repair processes in the epithelial component of antiviral protection of the body. Based on the above, the study of the clinical efficacy of Derinat® in the form of spray in the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections is relevant.

Summary. The disbalanced feeding and the uneven distribution of micro- and macroelements in the environment leads to a trace element, in particular hypomelanosis. To accelerate the growth and preservation of young farm animals include in the diet of various biological additives and drugs, which include selenium. For stimulation of weight gain in the livestock industry, as well as for the prevention and treatment of pathological processes in addition to micro - and macrouse amino acids, primarily methionine. The aim of this work was to study the influence of composition of DAFS-25+Polizon on morpho-biochemical parameters of blood and functional state of the liver in fattening bulls of black-motley breed in the conditions of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Experiments using were conducted on bull-calves of black-motley breed of the properties in the properties age from 6 to 15 months. The first experimental group during the experiment was additionally given the composition of DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg, the animals of the control group received a standard diet. To assess the impact of the composition DAFS-25+Polizon on metabolism cattle studied morphological and biochemical indicators of blood and conducted histological examination of the liver. It is established that the use of the composition of DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg increases the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the experimental group and reduces the amount of white blood cells. The serum content of total protein, phosphorus and calcium increases in the group of experimental animals. Microscopic examination of the liver revealed no changes in the structure of the organ and hepatocytes in the experimental group, whereas in the control group hemodynamic disorders and dystrophic changes in liver cells were observed. Thus, the use of the composition DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg of live weight in fattening bulls black-and-white breed contributes to the increase of redox processes in the body, stimulation of metabolism, prevent the development of liver disorders of cellular mechanisms of metabolism, optimizes the structure of the liver, which generally provides higher productivity.
