The alterations in the intraorganic lymphatic bed of the skin of human cheeks, lips, the red edge included, were studied macro-microscopically in cleared preparations with preliminary injection taken from human corpses of either sex from 55 to 89 years of age. Considerable atrophic processes were established to take place in the lymphatic bed of the face skin after 55 years of age. The superficial lymph capillary network can not be detected completely by the age of 70. The reduction of the profound capillary network and intraorganic lymph vessels proceeds. Diverticula of various shape make their appearance on the rest of lymph capillaries and vessels, the contours of the lymph capillaries and vessels undergo considerable changes.
对55至89岁不同性别人体尸体的脸颊、嘴唇（包括红唇缘）皮肤的器官内淋巴床进行了研究，采用在清除标本中预先注射的方法，进行宏观和微观观察。结果发现，55岁以后面部皮肤的淋巴床会出现相当明显的萎缩过程。到70岁时，浅表淋巴毛细血管网已无法完全检测到。深部毛细血管网和器官内淋巴管数量减少。其余的淋巴毛细血管和淋巴管出现各种形状的憩室，淋巴毛细血管和淋巴管的轮廓发生显著变化。
