Changes in the Number of Small Lymphocytes of the Blood following Ligation of the Thoracic Duct
نویسنده
چکیده
The important work of Murphy and his collaborators has added great interest to the study of the physiology of the lymphocyte. These investigators have shown particularly well the r61e that the lymphocyte plays in the resistance and susceptibility of mice to cancer grafts. Previously the lymphocyte was studied considerably in regard to the extent of its appearance in the thoracic duct under ordinary conditions or its appearance in the blood stream following splenectomy (Biedl and yon Decastello), after extirpation of groups of important glands (Ehrlich and Reinbach), after the administration of pilocarpine (Rous), and following ligation of the thoracic duct (Davis and Carlson; Bunting and Huston). During the progress of work on the ligation of the thoracic duct recently reported (Lee), the opportunity offered itself for studying the effect of the ligation of that vessel on the number of small lymphocytes in the blood?

Changes in the Number of Small Lymphocytes of the Blood following Ligation of the Thoracic Duct
This report has attempted to analyze the changes in the absolute number of small lymphocytes in the blood stream of the cat following the intrathoracic ligation of the thoracic duct. Such a ligation produced an immediate decrease in the number of small lymphocytes to the extent of 56 per cent, but it was found that the preoperative level was again reached at about the end of 3 weeks. One is led...
متن کاملThe Effect of Pilocarpine on the Number of Small Lymphocytes in the Circulating Blood following Ligation of the Thoracic Duct
In a series of animals in which the thoracic duct had been tied it was found that the relative increase in the number of small lymphocytes in the circulating blood following the intraperitoneal administration of pilocarpine nitrate was the same as for the control animals. While support is brought for Harvey's view that pilocarpine causes a lymphocytosis through the contraction of plain muscle, ...
متن کاملThe effects of bile duct ligation on motor cortex region morphology and aquaporin 4 protein concentration in male Wistar rats
Impaired motor functions were reported in cholestatic animals. This disorder in the function and death of motor neurons is highly dependent on changes in the environment around astrocytes and the blood-brain barrier, which is moderated by the aquaporin 4 protein. For this reason, the effects of cholestasis on motor cortex histology and morphology and aquaporin 4 protein levels were investigated...

Background : Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a plasma derived product. IVIG has been used in treatment of autoimmune, immunodeficiency and infectious diseases. In this study we assessed the effect of intravenous immunoglobulin administration on WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts as well as the percent of CD4 and CD8 T-cell lymphocytes and number of lymphocytes in pediatric...
