To determine how fast lymph is drained from the foot in the sitting, completely relaxed position, we injected 99mTc-labelled human serum albumin subcutaneously between the first and second toe of both feet in three subjects sitting with legs down. Radioactivity appeared in the calf within the first 30 s, in the thigh within 1 min and in the blood between 2 and 5 min after injection. A scintigram of the calves showed distinct strands of activity. Radioactivity was found in the inguinal lymph nodes and in no other lymph nodes. The radioactivity in the segments of the calf showed rhythmic variations. EMGs showed minimal muscular activity during the examination. We conclude that interstitial fluid is drained by way of the lymphatics against gravity and most probably as a result of the intrinsic contractions of the lymphatics.
为了确定在坐姿完全放松的状态下，足部淋巴引流的速度，我们对三名坐姿垂腿的受试者，在其双脚的第一和第二脚趾之间皮下注射了99m锝标记的人血清白蛋白。注射后30秒内放射性出现在小腿，1分钟内出现在大腿，2至5分钟内出现在血液中。小腿的闪烁图显示出明显的活性条索。在腹股沟淋巴结中发现了放射性，其他淋巴结未发现。小腿各节段的放射性呈现出节律性变化。肌电图显示检查期间肌肉活动极小。我们得出结论，组织间液通过淋巴管逆重力引流，很可能是淋巴管内在收缩的结果。
