Abstract

Lymphatic dysfunction is involved in many diseases including lymphedema, hypertension, autoimmune responses, graft rejection, atherosclerosis, microbial infections, cancer and cancer metastasis. Expanding our knowledge of lymphatic system function can lead to a better understanding of these disease processes and improve treatment options. Here, optical coherence tomography (OCT) methods were used to reveal intraluminal valve dynamics in 3 dimensions, and measure lymph flow and vessel contraction simultaneously in 3 neighboring lymphangions of the afferent collecting lymphatic vessels to the popliteal lymph node in mice. Flow measurements were based on Doppler OCT techniques in combination with exogenous lymph labeling by Intralipid. Through these imaging methods, it is possible to study lymphatic function and pumping more comprehensively. These capabilities can lead to a better understanding of the regulation and dysregulation of lymphatic vessels in health and disease. The image depicts the dynamic measurements of lymphatic valves, lymphatic vessels cross-sectional area and lymph velocity simultaneously measured in vivo with optical coherence tomography.

摘要

淋巴功能障碍涉及多种疾病,包括淋巴水肿、高血压、自身免疫反应、移植排斥、动脉粥样硬化、微生物感染、癌症及癌症转移。拓展我们对淋巴系统功能的认识有助于更好地理解这些疾病过程并改善治疗方案。在此,光学相干断层扫描(OCT)方法被用于三维揭示腔内瓣膜动态,并同时测量小鼠腘淋巴结传入收集淋巴管中3个相邻淋巴管节段的淋巴流动和血管收缩。流量测量基于多普勒OCT技术并结合用英脱利匹特进行的外源性淋巴标记。通过这些成像方法,可以更全面地研究淋巴功能和泵血功能。这些能力有助于更好地理解健康和疾病状态下淋巴管的调节及调节异常。该图像描绘了用光学相干断层扫描在体内同时测量的淋巴瓣膜、淋巴管横截面积和淋巴流速的动态情况。
