[Resorption from the pericardial cavity during growth in normal conditions and in experimental pericarditis].
The isotope 131I-hippuran was introduced via a microirrigator into the pericardial cavity of 26 puppies aged 1--3 months to study resorption function of the epicardium. Pericarditis was induced by administering the culture of Staph. aureus into the cavity. It was disclosed that in health the isotope half-life falls within the 12th minute, while complete elimination within the 45th--50th minute. On the 5th--6th day of experimental pericarditis, the resorption becomes 6 times slower, on the 14th day it returns to normal and on the 28th day exceeds normal 3--4 times. This fact is a consequence of a powerful development of the subepicardial venous network.
