Autotransplantation of lymphatic vessels.
SIR,-No treatment is available for tackling the underlying cause of secondary lymphoedema due to dissection of the lymphatic pathway at a specific site.’ A bypass within the lymphatic system seems the most promising way to eliminate the cause for swollen legs in the early stages of the disease, but materials other than lymphatic collectors cannot maintain an adequate lymph flow over a long peri...
متن کاملCholinergic innervation of human mesenteric lymphatic vessels.
BACKGROUND The cholinergic neurotransmission within the human mesenteric lymphatic vessels has been poorly studied. Therefore, our aim is to analyse the cholinergic nerve fibres of lymphatic vessels using the traditional enzymatic techniques of staining, plus the biochemical modifications of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimens obtained from human mesenteric l...
متن کاملLymphatic Vessels as Targets of Tumor Therapy?
Recent evidence on the association of lymphangiogenic growth factors with intralymphatic growth and metastasis of cancers (1–4) has raised hopes that lymphatic vessels could be used as an additional target for tumor therapy. Cancer cells spread within the body by direct invasion to surrounding tissues, spreading to body cavities, invasion into the blood vascular system (hematogenous metastasis)...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory Roles of Lymphatic Vessels in Cancer
Lymphatic vessels in the tumormicroenvironment are known to foster tumormetastasis inmany cancers, and they can undergo activation, hyperplasia, and lymphangiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment and in the tumor-draining lymph node. The mechanism underlying this correlation was originally considered as lymphatic vessels providing a physical route for tumor cell dissemination, but recent studi...
متن کاملBlood flow reprograms lymphatic vessels to blood vessels.
Human vascular malformations cause disease as a result of changes in blood flow and vascular hemodynamic forces. Although the genetic mutations that underlie the formation of many human vascular malformations are known, the extent to which abnormal blood flow can subsequently influence the vascular genetic program and natural history is not. Loss of the SH2 domain-containing leukocyte protein o...
