Effects of antibiotics on the in vitro rabbit corneal endothelium.
نویسنده
چکیده
The effects of ten antibiotics and two preservatives on the rabbit corneal endothelium were studied by in vitro perfusion. Dose-related effects on corneal thickness were seen with certain antibiotics. No correlation was found between structure, origin, or bacterial sensitivity of the antibiotics and their effect on corneal transplants. Five distinct morphological changes were observed: two were transient and only one was specific. Although clinical dose correlation was not intended, further investigation is needed on erythromycin, bacitracin, chloramphenicol, penicillin, oxacillin, and cephalothin.

The effect of ouabain on the rabbit corneal endothelium.
With the method of in vitro incubation of the isolated rabbit cornea with the modified KEI medium, the effects of ouabain applied to the endothelial surface have been investigated. The change in corneal hydration with varying concentrations of ouabain was determined; one-half maximum rate of corneal swelling was found at an ouabain concentration of 3 x 10~ moles per liter. Endothelial permeabil...
متن کاملCorneal Endothelial Wound Closure In Vitro Effects of EGF and/or Indomerhacin
In response to stress, the corneal endothelium must maintain or regain its barrier function. To study cellular responses of the corneal endothelium, our laboratory has developed an in vitro model of rabbit corneal endothelial wound closure. When cells are free to divide, a 3 mm diameter wound closes within 4 days. 5-fluorouracil added to these cultures does not affect the cellular morphology or...

متن کاملThe phacoemulsification procedure. I. The effect of intraocular irrigating solutions on the corneal endothelium.
Irrigating solutions for intraocular purposes were evaluated for their possible damaging effects on the corneal endothelial cell structure and function. Rabbit corneal endothelium was perfused in vitro with Tis-u-Sol, Travenol Ringer's Solution, or Travenol Sodium Chloride. The irrigating solutions caused an immediate corneal swelling of 67 mum per hour +/- 5 (mean +/- standard error), which wa...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of basement membrane collagen by rabbit corneal endothelium in vitro.
The synthesis of collagen has been demonstrated in endothelial cells of Descemet's membrane isolated from rabbit cornea. Incorporation of [14C]proline and [14C]lysine into nondialyzable protein was measured in the medium and cell fraction after incubating Descemet's membrane for up to 5 hours. In the [14C]collagen synthesized by the endothelium, 15% of the hydroxy[14C]proline was present as the...
