[Effect of physical exertion on intraocular pressure in healthy persons with similar degrees of physical fitness].

35 young, healthy men were divided at random into two groups. Each of them made physical effort of different intensity and different quantity of the work performed. It was found that intraocular pressure was decreased in both groups but its drop was bigger in the group whose work was more strenouos. From the difference of performance of intraocular pressure in both the controlled groups we can conclude the degree of reduction of intraocular pressure and length of its duration may depend on quantity of the work performed. The pulse and blood pressure seem not to affect the intraocular pressure.

Changes in the structure and properties of corpus vitreous and the preservation of enzymatic composition of rabbit antioxidative system under the influence of sulphur hexafluoride gas.

PURPOSE: To evaluate clinical, physiochemical and biochemical changes in rabbit vitreous body caused by local injection of sulphur hexafluoride gas. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The volume of fluid vitreous fraction was measured with Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ levels and full proteins concentration in both vitreous fractions in 24 New Zealand rabbits at 2, 7 and 14 day after SF6 injection. The activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase and malonyl dialdehyde were used to evaluate the activity of antioxidative enzymatic system. Control group consisting of 6 New Zealand rabbits had no experimental procedures. RESULTS: In the investigated group, the fluid vitreous fraction volume was increased while gelatous one was diminished from 0.08 ml in control group to 0.32 ml in the study group (on day 14). The level of Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ in the fluid fraction was unchanged. On day 7, we noticed statistically significant increase in protein concentration in comparison with the control group and the study group on 14 day. The activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase as well as the level of malonyl dialdehyde were increased in the fluid vitreous fraction compared to the gelatous one in the control group. After the SF6 injection we did not observe any changes of superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in the gelatous part of vitreous body while in the fluid one there was statistically significant decrease in the enzymatic activity and the MDA level in the whole observation time. CONCLUSIONS: The injected sulphur hexafluoride gas caused the damage of the gelatous vitreous fraction with the increase in the fluid one. The oxygen free radicals might trigger these pathological processes.

Influence of rectus eye muscles tenotomy on the aqueous humor composition in rabbits.

INTRODUCTION: Anterior segment ischaemia manifesting in aqueous malformation may follow tenotomy of the extraocular muscles. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Tenotomy of 2 or 4 rectus eye muscles was performed on the right eyes of 23 adult rabbits. The aqueous humor was withdrawn from the anterior chamber of both eyes in 7 rabbits on the 11th, on the 22nd in 8 and on the 32nd postoperative day in 8 rabbits. Aqueous natrium, potassium and glucose concentrations and protein electrophoresis were examined. RESULTS: The only significant change was lower mean aqueous potassium concentration in the operated eyes as compared to controls on the 11th postoperative day. CONCLUSION: Tenotomy of rectus eye muscles in healthy rabbits evoked a discrete blood-aqueous barrier break-down.

[Ocular symptoms in internal carotid artery occlusion].

The internal carotid artery occlusion causing an insufficiency of the cerebral circulation manifests itself--besides the neurological symptoms--by disorders of the visual organ. One can distinguish among them early, functional symptoms in the form of transient unilateral hemianopia on the side opposite to the occluded carotid artery and the attacks of transient amblyopia. Signs of fixed ischaemia of the eye ball appear afterwards in the form of oculomotor and pupillary disturbances, neovascularization of the iris, disturbances of the IOP, central retinal artery occlusion, ischaemic optic atrophy. The authors emphasize the value of Doppler's diagnostic ultrasonography, a fast and non-invasive method of direct evaluation of the blood flow in the internal carotid artery system.

Corneal endothelial cells' protection against thermal injury: influence of ophthalmic viscoelastic substances in experimental study on rabbits.

PURPOSE: To quantify the maximal level of temperature and the time the maximal temperature is achieved and correlate the temperature parameters to the mean rate of endothelial cell loss after standardized ultrasound delivery assisted with four viscoelastic substances or different temperature of balanced salt solution (BSS). METHODS: Thirty rabbits (60 eyes) were divided into six groups in which different viscoelastic substances or different temperature of BSS were used: Group 1, Viscoat; 2, Provisc; 3, soft shell technique; 4, Celoftal; 5, BSS 22 degrees C; and 6, BSS 4 degrees C. The same parameters of ultrasound energy were delivered by standard phaco tip introduced into pupillary plane. Thermocamera was employed for measurements of temperature parameters. Endothelium cell count was measured before surgery and 1 month postoperatively. RESULTS: Maximal level of temperature was measured as follows: Group 5, 27.85 +/- 0.52 degrees C; Group 2, 27.75 +/- 0.54 degrees C; Group 3, 27.74 +/- 0.46 degrees C; Group 4, 27.25 +/- 0.60 degrees C; Group 6, 26.81 +/- 0.34 degrees C; Group 1, 26.52 +/- 0.48 degrees C (p<0.05). The time the maximal temperature is achieved was statistically shorter in Groups 5 and 6: 4 seconds, 5 seconds, respectively, p<0.0001, as compared with Group 2 (30 seconds), Group 3 (40 seconds), Group 1 (45 seconds), and Group 4 (50 seconds). The mean rate of endothelial cell loss was calculated as follows: Group 1, 4.35%+/-2.55%; Group 2, 8.43%+/-5.2%; Group 3, 6.25%+/-4.20%; Group 4, 6.53%+/-4.65%; Group 5, 14.3%+/-3.85%; and Group 6, 8.78%+/-4.45%. CONCLUSIONS: Viscoelastic substances offer different levels of endothelial cell protection against temperature increase during phacoemulsification. The mean rate of endothelial cell loss correlates with the time the maximal temperature is achieved rather than with the value of maximal level of temperature. This implicates that surgical strategy should consider the choice of the most effective viscoelastic substances, particularly in difficult cases, e.g., hard nucleus, shallow anterior chamber, primary endothelial abnormality.
