Retinal toxicity of amphotericin B in vitrectomised versus non-vitrectomised eyes.
The retinal toxicity of intravitreally administered amphotericin B was compared in non-vitrectomised versus vitrectomised rabbit eyes. Doses of 5 and 10 micrograms in both groups resulted in transient vitritis but had no effect on electroretinograms. Histopathological examination four weeks after injection showed vitreous cells and minimal areas of retinal necrosis in both groups at 5 or 10 mic...
متن کاملChanges Of Intraocular Pressure In Vitrectomised Eyes After Removal Of Silicone Oil.
BACKGROUND Patients with Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment develop raised intraocular pressure (IOP) when they undergo pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil. The present study was done to document changes in IOP with silicone oil and after its removal. METHODS The interventional study was conducted at Eye department of Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, from August 2012 to July 2014 on 30 pati...
متن کاملNeutrophil toxicity of amphotericin B.
The toxicity of amphotericin B (AmB) for neutrophils and the protective effect of serum cholesterol were investigated. Neutrophils were exposed in vitro to varying concentrations of AmB. As judged by trypan blue exclusion, neutrophil viability decreased by 40% (P < 0.001) within 30 min of incubation in sterol-free buffer containing 5 mug of AmB per ml. In the presence of 4 mg of cholesterol per...
متن کاملExperimental model of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in the vitrectomised eye: effect of silicone oil.
Silicone oil alone or as an adjunct to vitrectomy is widely used for the treatment of retinal detachment complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). It appears to reduce the tendency for recurrent traction detachment, but the mechanism of this action is obscure. We have studied the effects of silicone oil in an experimental animal model. Twenty five thousand homologous fibroblasts wer...
متن کاملPentoxifylline in amphotericin B toxicity rat model.
The mechanism of acute nephrotoxicity following the administration of amphotericin B (AmpB) remains unclear despite a number of studies describing hypermagnesuria, hyperkaluria, and hemodynamic changes. The present experiments attempted to elucidate the mechanism by using a novel hemorheologic probe, pentoxifylline (PTX). Acute studies were performed with rats given single intravenous doses of ...
