CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SUBRETINAL FLUID

Chemical Composition of Subretinal Fluid.

THis paper presents the results of a study of the chemical composition of subretinal fluid from cases of retinal detachment, with particular reference to the protein and ascorbic acid content of the fluid. Many workers have studied the chemical composition of subretinal fluid obtained from patients undergoing surgery for retinal detachment. It is generally agreed that the subretinal fluid conta...

Chemical Composition of Hydatid Cyst Fluid of Echinococcus granulosus

Biochemical investigation of the subretinal fluid.

The level of total protein, protein fractions, sialic acids, and hexosamines was studied in the subretinal fluid (SRF) and blood of patients with retinal detachment. The level of these components in the SRF varied over a considerable range. A low level of total protein, sialic acids, and hexosamines was characteristic of patients with relatively recent clinical forms of retinal detachment, foll...

Penetration of cephaloridine into the subretinal fluid.

Cephaloridine is a wide-spectrum antibiotic derived from cephalosporin and, despite similarities to penicillin, it can be used in the treament of infections in penicillin-sensitive patients. Riley, Boyle, and Leopold (I968) and Records (I969) have reported the intraocular penetration of cephaloridine into the aqueous after intramuscular and intravenous administration, and Moll, Crawford, and Mc...

Factors influencing absorption of subretinal fluid.

In 200 cases of retinal detachment successfully treated without drainage of subretinal fluid complete reattachment of the retina was achieved in the first postoperative week in 76 per cent of cases. Delay in subretinal fluid absorption in the remaining 24 per cent of cases was directly related to the duration of the retinal detachment but was not influenced by the patient's age, refractive erro...
