Glutamate and γ-aminobutyric Acid Release into the Vitreous During Cataract Surgery

Propofol differentially inhibits the release of glutamate, γ-aminobutyric acid and glycine in the spinal dorsal horn of rats

Objective(s): Propofol (2, 6-diisopropylphenol) is an intravenous anesthetic that is commonly used for the general anesthesia. It is well known that the spinal cord is one of the working targets of general anesthesia including propofol. However, there is a lack of investigation of the effects of propofol on spinal dorsal horn which is important for the sensory transmission of nociceptive signal...

Chromovitrectomy in Vitreous Loss During Cataract Surgery

Spinally mediated analgesic interaction between γ-aminobutyric acid B receptor agonist and glutamate receptor antagonists in rats

Background.  Many mechanisms are involved in pain transmission in the spinal cord.  Therefore, combination of drugs acting on different kinds of mechanisms might be useful for analgesia.  We investigated the interaction betweenγ-aminobutyric acid （GABA）B receptor agonist, baclofen, and N-methyl-D-aspartate （NMDA） receptor antagonist, AP-5, orα-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid ...

Vitreous Prolapse in Cataract Surgery.

VITREous prolapse in cataract surgery is the worst complication that every ophthalmic surgeon is afraid of. The eye may recover but the chances of post-operative complications are many. The percentage of vitreous prolapse varies with different ophthalmic surgeons. Knighton (1949) reported 0 9 per cent. of vitreous prolapse and Cinotti (1952) reported 1-57 per cent. in the same series of patient...
