Abstract

A method for observing intra blood vessel ducts which are threadlike bundle of tubules which form a part of the BongHan duct system. By injecting 10% dextrose solution at a vena femoralis one makes the intravascular BongHan duct thicker and stronger to be easily detectable after incision of vessels. The duct is semi-transparent, soft and elastic, and composed of smaller tubules whose diameters are of $10{\mu}m$ order, which is in agreement with BongHan theory.

혈관내 봉한관을 관찰하는 방법을 개발하였다. 10% 포도당액을 대퇴정맥에 주입하여 봉한관을 굵고 강하게 만듦으로써, 혈관 절개후 쉽게 관찰할 수 있게 한 것이 핵심 기법이다. 봉한이론과 일치한 결과를 보였다. 봉한관은 반투명의 부드럽고 탄력 있는 실과 같으며, $10{\mu}m$ 정도의 작은 관의 다발로 구성되어 있다.
