Lymph Drainage from the Chylocyst-Induced Hemodilution in an In Vivo Rabbit Study.
Lymphatic Research and Biology 2018 April
To confirm our previous study that abdominal respiration has induced hemodilution in human subjects, we performed in-vivo experiments involving anesthetized rabbits. Fifteen 6- to 7-month-old male Japanese white rabbits were used in the animal experiments. Anesthesia was maintained with 2.5%-3.0% isoflurane under N2 O + 100% O2 inhalation. Ventilation was maintained at 40 mL/breath for 20 breaths/min. Physiological saline solution was administered at rated 18 mL/h during the experiments. First, we attempted to evaluate lymph flow through the thoracic duct using Sonazoid-based contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided method and then investigated the effects of manual lymph drainage of the chylocyst on the numbers of red blood cells (RBC), hematocrit (Ht) levels, and the blood concentrations of total protein (TP) and hemoglobin (Hb). In this study, we established surgical methods for identifying the left venous angle and chylocyst using Evans blue dye in anesthetized rabbits. We also confirmed that a Sonazoid-based CEUS-guided method was the most useful technique for producing real-time images of lymph flow through the thoracic duct in anesthetized rabbits. In addition, in present experiments involving anesthetized rabbits, we confirmed that manually massaging the chylocyst produced significant hemodilution. Thus, the procedure produced significant reductions of TP, RBC, Hb, and Ht level in the rabbits.
