[Malignant-appearing retroperitoneal lymphography findings in Whipple's disease--a source of possible misdiagnosis].

Whipple's disease may mimic clinically primary intestinal lymphoma. In addition, lymphographic findings in the paraaortic lymph nodes in Whipple's disease simulate malignant lymphoma. These severe tumor-like lymphographic changes are described in three cases of Whipple's disease. The data highlight the risk of misinterpreting of Whipple's disease as malignant lymphoma on the basis of clinical data and lymphographic findings.

[Reasonable lymph node dissection in radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer: introduction of computer information system and lymphography technique by India-ink].

A computer information system was developed and clinically used in National Cancer Center Tokyo in 1983. Seven data of an individual patient are preoperatively input in the system: sex, age, location, macroscopic type, maximal diameter, depth of invasion, and histological type of biopsy. After the data-analysis of 3,785 patients, the computer outputs three data; expected five year survival rate, each metastatic rate of 16 regional lymph nodes, and types of recurrence. Plan of lymph node dissection can reasonably be decided by this report. 0.5ml of India-ink (CH-40) is injected in the perigastric lymph nodes, and it stains all lymphatic channels from the injection points in black. Using the technique, systematic dissection can be performed easily and completely. After the introduction of these systems, five year survival rate was improved from 90.0% to 95.5% in Stage I, from 76.0% to 81.6% in Stage II, from 51.1% to 56.8% in Stage III, and from 12.9% to 16.6% in Stage IV.

Factorial analysis in radionuclide lymphography: assessment of the effects of sequential pneumatic compression.

The effects of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) in 12 patients with lower or upper limb lymphedema were studied using a computer-based technique (factorial analysis) of dynamic lymphoscintigraphy. After subcutaneous injection of radiocolloid into the first interdigital web space of the arm or leg, scintigraphic recordings consisted of 40 consecutive one-minute frames of both lower extremities or an edematous upper extremity. Pneumatic compression by Euroduc (6 patients) or by Lymphapress (6 patients) was applied during the final 20 minutes of the recording. A three factors factorial analysis (FA) was performed successively for each extremity. FA allowed "uncontaminated" curves to be displayed distinct from neighboring structures and corresponded to dynamic tracer activity in the interstitium, at the injection site, and within lymphatic vessels. Based on the results of lymphatic vascular factorial analysis, a beneficial effect of IPC was detected in 18 of 22 limbs examined. FA processing suggested that IPC facilitated radiocolloid transport in the proximal portion of the limb and also propelled tracer from the injection site toward the lymphatics. The effect of IPC was evident as soon as external compression therapy began and was similar with either mechanical unit. Residual tracer activity in peripheral lymphatics 20 minutes after application of IPC was higher in the edematous as compared with the normal limbs. FA processing is a new and potentially valuable method to evaluate the effects of external pneumatic compression in the management of peripheral lymphedema.

[Study of lymph nodes in lung cancer in experimental animals using the indirect lymphography method and a computer].

Combination of the "PEEC-D" microfocal X-ray apparatus with the DED-3 computerized detector of X-radiation and an electronic computer made it possible to produce a considerably magnified image of the lymph nodes on the display screen and study their structure. The mediastinal lymph nodes differ in structure in different pathological conditions, due to which they can be differentiated. Under normal conditions the lymph nodes have a regular density and a characteristic microcellular structure due to the uncontrasted follicles. In chronic inflammation the lymph nodes have an indistinct capsule. The contrasting and structural pattern of the parenchyma are greatly diminished. The enlarged uncontrasted follicles are spherical. Lymph nodes containing metastases change their configuration sharply and undergo three-dimensional transformation. In the presence of metastases the lymph nodes multiply by separating part of the node.
