[Microcirculation in patients with lung cancer]

The author presents an analysis of the results of microphotographing of the vessels of bulbar conjunctiva, the determination of the rate of isotope resorption from intradermic depot, transcapillary metabolism of protein and fluid, and acid-base balance. In spread tumor process and concomitant inflammation intravascular aggregation of erythrocytes was noted in bulbar conjunctiva, and sometimes metabolic acidosis too. Moreover, in widespread cancer of the lung a delayed resorption of the isotope from intradermic depot was observed, whereas with concomitant inflammatory process--its acceleration and increased permeability of blood capillaries.
