Aims: The aim of the current study is to evaluate effect Aloe Vera gel on healing process surgically made maxillary alveolar bone defects and new tissue formation in rabbits. Materials Methods: Twenty albino rabbits were randomly chosen conduct study, all selected inhabited under same circumstances involving ventilation, temperature, diet. Each rabbit received anesthetic solution separately und...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect collagen shield on epithelial wound healing in rabbit eyes. Adult New Zealand Albino rabbits were used study. All surgical procedures carried out under general anesthesia. Superficial keratectomies 6 mm diameter created 40 eyes 20 and they separated into 3 groups as control (CN), medical treatment (CA) barrier (CB) groups. In CN group, received 0...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of Concanavalin A (Con A) on cataract formation in New Zealand Albino rabbits. Uveitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the eye involving the anterior and/or posterior segments. It may be acute or chronic and is associated with the development of posterior subscapular cataract over time. Con A is a nonspecific inflammatory agent and mitogen for T cells and s...

PURPOSE To study the death of photoreceptors in normally developing and dystrophic retina and to test the role of hypoxia in causing that death. METHODS Death of photoreceptors was detected in the albino, hooded, and Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) strains of rat, and in the rabbit and cat, using the TUNEL technique. Retinas of selected ages from animals raised normally and those from rat pup...

PURPOSE To investigate how topically instilled nipradilol penetrates the ipsilateral posterior retina-choroid in normal rabbit eyes. METHODS Albino rabbits were used. Topical instillation (1%, 100 microL) or intracameral (0.1%, 100 microL) or sub-Tenon injection (0.1%, 10 microL) of [(14)C]nipradilol was performed in one eye. Ocular and periocular distribution and the concentrations of [(14)C...

CONNECTIVE tissue isolated from the albino rat by the sponge implantation technic is rich in lipids and has a high concentration of cholesterol. It has been demonstrated that aortic tissue of the rabbit and chicken can synthesize cholesterol in vitro from C-labeled acetate. Connective tissuesponge biopsies from the albino rat synthesize cholesterol in vitro at a rate which is comparable to that...

Most regimens for intravitreal injection of antibiotics are based on studies in normal albino rabbits. We examined the effect of two variables, infection and pigmentation, on the ocular distribution of an intravitreal injection of 50 micrograms of gentamicin in rabbit eyes. The half-life of gentamicin in the vitreous of normal pigmented rabbits after intravitreal administration was 24 hr. Antib...

AIM To determine intravitreal and plasma concentrations and retinal toxicity after transcorneal intravitreal injection of 1 μg and 2 μg of topotecan (Hycamtin). METHOD Twelve healthy albino rabbits were included in this in vivo experiment. Six anesthetized albino rabbits received a single transcorneal intravitreal injection of 1 μg (group A) or 2 μg (group B) of topotecan. Vitreous and blood ...

&&v,w To assess the penetration of Iossrtan and L-158,338 into the rabbit eye after topical application and their effects on the IOP of ocular hypertensive cynomolgus monkeys. M&Q& Penetration was indirectly assessed in albino rabbits using an & assay. Aliquots of aqueous humor were sampled one hour after the bilateral topical instillation of one drop (50 uL) of 2% solutions of losartsn or L-15...
