Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab and triamcinolone in the treatment of cystoid macular oedema in a case with chronic myeloid leukaemia on imatinib treatment. Methods. We treated a 78-year-old man with bilateral cystoid macular oedema with intravitreal triamcinolone and subsequent bevacizumab in one eye and intravitreal bevacizumab, alone, in the fellow eye. Results....

Intravitreal triamcinolone inhibits choroidal neovascularization. To investigate if vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is affected, we examined VEGF expression after intravitreal triamcinolone administration in rat retina. Using in situ hybridization, we have found dense clustered VEGF mRNA signals in the retinal pigment epithelium, moderate patchy signals in the inner nuclear layer, and...

BACKGROUND Hemangioma is the most common tumor of neonatal period and it is almost always appeared by the end of the first week of life and can be found mostly in head and neck area. This study evaluated the synergistic effect of bleomycin, triamcinolone and epinephrine in treatment of hemangioma and arte-riovenous malformations. METHODS In this multicenter study, a combination of bleomycin,...

Aim: To assess the effect of crystalline triamcinolone acetonide on retinal endothelial cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro. Methods: For in vitro analysis, a sprouting assay was employed. Bovine retinal endothelial cells were stimulated with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and incubated with different concentrations of triamcinolone acetonide (0.05 mg/ml to 8 mg/ml). For in vivo anal...

AIM To evaluate the effect of different doses of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide on diffuse diabetic macular oedema. METHODS The prospective, randomised, double masked, clinical interventional study included 27 eyes (27 patients) with diffuse diabetic macular oedema. They were randomly divided into three study groups receiving an intravitreal injection of filtered triamcinolone acetonide...

Seventeen subjects with chronic severe asthma completed a 48 week prospective, double blind study with crossover of treatment at 24 weeks, in which triamcinolone acetonide 80 mg intramuscularly every four weeks was compared with oral prednisolone 10 mg daily. Spirometry, twice daily measurements of peak expiratory flow rate, and self assessment of asthma symptom scores showed significant improv...

PURPOSE To evaluate the proliferation rate of recurrent pterygium and normal Tenon's capsule fibroblasts after exposure to triamcinolone. METHODS Explants of recurrent pterygia and normal Tenon's capsule of the same carrier were cultured. The fibroblasts were cultured and subcultured until the third passage and subsequently exposed to triamcinolone. The cell proliferation rate was evaluated 3...
