To study the lymphatic drainage of the cynomolgus monkey through the use of lymphoscintigraphy.
Lymphoscintigraphy with 500 microCi of 99mTechnetium sulfur colloid injected at specific sites around the eyelids was performed with five cynomolgus monkeys in lateral and ventral positions.
Lymphoscintigraphy of the monkey eyelid and periocular tissue revealed lymphatic drainage to the parotid lymph nodes from the entire upper eyelid, medial canthus, and lateral lower eyelid and drainage to the submandibular lymph nodes from the medial and central lower eyelid. In addition to draining to the parotid lymph nodes, the central upper eyelid was also seen to drain to the submandibular lymph nodes.
Lymphoscintigraphy of the cynomolgus monkey eyelids reveals discrete lymphatic drainage pathways for the upper and lower eyelids and a dual pathway for the central upper eyelid. Future studies will help to clarify the lymphatic drainage pathways of human eyelids.
通过淋巴闪烁造影术研究食蟹猴的淋巴引流情况。
对5只处于侧卧位和腹卧位的食蟹猴,在眼睑周围特定部位注射500微居里的99m锝硫胶体进行淋巴闪烁造影术。
对猴眼睑及眼周组织进行淋巴闪烁造影显示,整个上眼睑、内眦和下眼睑外侧的淋巴引流至腮腺淋巴结,而下眼睑内侧和中央的淋巴引流至下颌下淋巴结。除了引流至腮腺淋巴结外,上眼睑中央还可见引流至下颌下淋巴结。
食蟹猴眼睑的淋巴闪烁造影显示上、下眼睑有离散的淋巴引流途径,上眼睑中央有双重引流途径。未来的研究将有助于阐明人类眼睑的淋巴引流途径。
