title: [Effect of alcoholic intoxication on the lymphatic bed of the heart].
abstract: Cardiac lymphatic bed was studied in 120 male corpses at the age of 17--55 years, normal and of those died from alcohol intoxication and from cardiac ischemia. The methods of intratissue injection of coloured masses, impregnation after V. V. Kuprianov, histological and histochemical investigations were applied. Data in figures were obtained by means of a grid for cyto-, histo- and stereometric investigations and by a scanning integrant microspectrophotometer sim-2. Statistical data were obtained by a computer "Mir". It was demonstrated that the cardiac lymphatic system responds in a definite way to alcohol intoxication. Four forms of structural state in the lymphatic bed elements were revealed, specific density of its different components was calculated. A certain connection was noted to occur between morphological changes under the effect of toxic doses of alcohol; there was also a reaction of compensatory-adaptive elements of lymphodynamics. A number of pathological changes in cardiac tissues resulting in heart insufficiency were presented. Peculiarities in poisoning phases were demonstrated morphologically.
