Abstract
We have investigated the effects of 0.02 and 0.2% thymoxamine hydrochloride on the isolated rabbit corneal endothelium. The corneal swelling rate, measured by specular microscopy, indicated that 0.02% thymoxamine caused a swelling rate equal to controls while a 0.2% concentration caused a significantly increased swelling rate (34.1 vs 10.3 microns/h; P less than 0.05). The data suggests that the maximum recommended intracameral concentration of thymoxamine be 0.02% in order to allow a 10-fold safety factor for the corneal endothelium.
研究了0.02和0.2%盐酸百里香胺对离体兔角膜内皮的影响。通过镜面显微镜测量的角膜肿胀率表明,0.02%的百里香胺引起的肿胀率与对照组相同,而0.2%的浓度引起的肿胀率显著增加(34.1 vs 10.3微米/小时;P < 0.05)。数据表明,为了使角膜内皮的安全系数达到10倍,推荐的最大胸腺胺内窥镜浓度为0.02%。
