An acute pain stimulus resulted in elevated lymph flow and output of cells from the popliteal lymph node of the sheep in the first 15 min after the stress. Efferent lymph flow increased by an average of 93% above the mean resting flow and cell output rose by an average of 170% during this period, but by 30 min after the stress, values for both lymph flow and cell output had returned to normal. The cell content of the efferent lymph was significantly higher in the first 15 min after the acute stress and it is suggested that there is a sizeable pool of lymphocytes within the resting popliteal node which can be mobilized into the lymph by an acute stress. A single intravenous injection of 1 mg adrenaline the efferent lymph flow in all the sheep examined but gave rise to an increased cell output in only 50% of the sheep. This indicated that there may be other factors, possibly hormonal, involved in the movement of the pool of lymphocytes out of the regional lymph node following acute stress. Both acute pain stress and adrenaline resulted in an increased afferent popliteal lymph flow and output of cells from the regional tissues in the first 15 min after administration. The results are suggestive of a small pool of lymphocytes in the regional tissues which may be readily mobilized by either acute stress or adrenaline. Part of the increases in efferent and afferent lymph flow observed following acute stress and adrenaline appeared to be due to an increased lymph formation, presumably as a result of an increased capillary pressure. Nevertheless, it is considered that the greater part of the increased flow of lymph from both regions resulted from an accelerated movement of performed lymph. |
