Effect of adenosine triphosphate on amiodarone-induced optic neuropathy in rats: biochemical and histopathological evaluation.

Objective: This study aims to investigate possible preventive effect of ATP on optic nerve damage caused by amiodarone in rats.

Material And Method: Thirty albino male Wistar rats weighing between 265 and 278 g were used in the study. Before the experiment, the rats were housed at 22 °C in a 12-h light/dark cycle under appropriate condition.

Intrastromal Administration of Vancomycin to Maximize Its Early Effect on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Keratitis: A Rabbit Study.

Purpose: To evaluate the early efficacy of intrastromal injection of vancomycin in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Methods: Twenty-four eyes of 24 New-Zealand White rabbits were included in the study. MRSA keratitis was induced in the right eye of each rabbit.

Intrastromal versus subconjunctival anti-VEGF agents for treatment of corneal neovascularization: a rabbit study.

Objective: To determine whether subconjunctival or intrastromal administration of anti-VEGF agents is more effective on suture-induced corneal neovascularization (CoNV) in rabbits.

Methods: CoNV was induced in 48 eyes of 24 New Zealand white rabbits by using an 8/0 silk suture. On the 7th day after suturing, the rabbits were divided into four treatment groups as follows: six rabbits received subconjunctival bevacizumab (group 1), six rabbits received subconjunctival aflibercept (group 2), six rabbits received intrastromal bevacizumab (group 3) and six rabbits received intrastromal aflibercept (group 4).
