چکیده
background: management of lymphedema is a challenging issue in surgery. a variety of operations have been used, albeit with little success. objective: to investigate the efficacy of testicular patch as a lymphatic conduit. methods: an incision was made on the inguinal area of 10 dogs and all lymph nodes of inguinal area were excised. the tunica albuginea and parenchyma near the hilum of testes were taken and transferred to the site of excised lymph nodes. results: microscopic study showed neovascularization of lymphatic duct in 80% of samples. conclusion: testicular patch graft can be used as a lymphatic conduit and implemented in the management of lymphedema.

Further progression...
متن کاملEffect of endotoxin on oxygen consumption by a flow-controlled canine hind-limb preparation.
The effect of endotoxin upon oxygen consumption in a peripheral vascular bed was assessed in a canine hind-limb preparation. The left iliac vessels in 12 adult male mongrel dogs were isolated, the artery cannulated proximally and distally such that arterial inflow could be routed through a roller pump, and a nonocclusive catheter placed in the vein. Oxygen consumption was then calculated as the...

متن کاملThe role of osteopontin in recovery from hind limb ischemia.
OBJECTIVE Osteopontin (OPN) is a highly phosphorylated extracellular matrix glycoprotein that is involved in a diversity of biological processes. In the vascular wall, OPN is produced by monocytes/macrophages, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells, and it is thought to mediate adhesion, migration, and survival of these cell types. In this study, we hypothesized that OPN plays a critical ro...
