Effect of glucocorticoids on the composition of the aqueous humour of the rabbit eye.

چکیده
Exogenous corticosteroids (dexamethasone, cortisol) inhibit the adrenal secretion of corticosterone in the rabbit and decrease the concentration of corticosterone in aqueous humour, increase glycaemia and cause a rise in glucose concentration in the aqueous. Except for a slight rise 16 h after the corticosteroid administration no effect on plasma or aqueous content of total protein was observed. This is in striking contrast with the increase of proteins in aqueous humour after ACTH injection. Thus it seems likely that corticosteroids do not mediate the effect of ACTH on the disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier.

The effect of hyaluronidase injection on the vitreous humour of the rabbit.
THE effect of hyaluronidase injections on the slit-lamp appearance and the composition of the vitreous humour of the rabbit has been examinfed. The purpose of the experiments has been to see whether disaggregation of hyaluronic acid from a viscous to a non-viscous form in the vitreous humour is a permanent change and whether any visible change persists as a result of hyaluronidase action. Very ...

THE chemical warfare agent, "nitrogen mustard " or methyl bis (,8-chloroethyl) amine, has come to the notice of the clinician lately on *account of its beneficial effect upon Hodgkin's disease, the ieucaemias and some neoplasms (Gilman and Philips, 1946). It is also of interest to those studying the problems associated with the changes in the permeability in the blood-aqueous humour barrier sin...
متن کاملTHE PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF INDOMETHACINE ON SULFUR MUSTARD-INDUCED OCULAR DAMAGE IN THE RABBIT EYE
Sulfur mustard, a bifunctional alkylating agent, causes severe eye injury. The injury is a result of late inflammation, which is mediated by prostaglandins. Theoretically, inhibition of prostaglandins by reagents such as indomethacine could result in alleviation of clinical adverse effects. In this study, the protective effect of topically applied indomethacine against sulfur mustard toxici...
