Comparative In vitro Cytotoxicity of Artificial Tears
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dry eye is one of the most common ocular conditions in the world with prevalence of over 10 million in the United States alone [1]. It can result in severe ocular symptoms and visual disability. The primary treatment for dry eyes is instillation of artificial tears over the course of the day [2]. The role of artificial tears is to either replace or augment the native tear film, with the goal of maintaining ocular surface lubrication.

متن کاملEffect of different artificial tears against desiccation in cultured human epithelial cells
BACKGROUND A large number of artificial tears is widely used to treat dry eye symptoms. To test the efficacy of these drugs independent of individual parameters in vitro models are required. As described previously, we employed a reproducible in vitro cell culture system to evaluate the desiccation protection capability of some artificial tears. In THE PRESENT PAPER DATA IS PRESENTED OF ANOTHER...
متن کاملPreparation and in-vitro Evaluation of an Antisense-containing Cationic Liposome against Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: a Comparative Preparation Study
The current methods for treatment of cancers are inadequate and more specific methods such as gene therapy are in progress. Among different vehicles, cationic liposomes are frequently used for delivery of genetic material. This investigation aims to prepare and optimize DOTAP cationic liposomes containing an antisense oligonuclotide (AsODN) against protein kinase C alpha in non-small cells lung...
