Glaucoma assessment by microcomputer.

Abstract

An automated system for comprehensively monitoring glaucoma patients is described. This economic and practical microcomputer data system has been designed to be thoroughly 'clinician oriented' through the collaborative efforts of ophthalmological and computer specialists. It incorporates novel and efficient methods for transferring both automated and manually recorded perimetry data into analysable digital form. The system is inexpensive, simple to use, maintains safe records, allows thorough analysis of patient data, and can considerably reduce the administrative load on ophthalmological clinics.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
