چکیده
We determined the linezolid concentrations in serum samples and aqueous humors (AHs) from 21 patients undergoing cataract extraction. Cataract removal was performed at various times (from 60 to 270 min) after the end of a 30-min infusion of 600 mg of linezolid. Serum samples were obtained 1 h after the end of linezolid administration to determine the maximum concentration of linezolid (C(max)); AHs and a second serum sample were taken simultaneously during the operation, and the concentrations of linezolid in AH (C(AH)) and serum (C(S)) were determined. The mean C(AH) 1 h after linezolid administration was 4.94 micro g/ml, and the mean ratio of C(AH) to C(S) (R = C(AH)/C(S)) was 0.43. All patients had a C(AH) of >2 micro g/ml, which was higher than the MIC at which 90% of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains are inhibited.

Pharmacokinetics of amikacin and chloramphenicol in the aqueous humor of rabbits.
Composite data describing ocular pharmacokinetics are unreliable because of intersubject variation. To address this problem, an animal model was developed in which multiple aqueous samples from single subjects were obtained. Following direct anterior chamber or intravenous administration of amikacin or chloramphenicol, pharmacokinetic analysis of drug concentrations in the serum and anterior ch...

Introduction: The present study aimed to present a numerical analysis of the penetration depth, specific absorption rate (SAR), and temperature rise in various eye tissues with varying distance between radiation source and exposed human eye tissues (i.e., cornea, posterior chamber, anterior chamber, lens, sclera, vitreous humor, and iris) at frequencies of 900 and1800 MHz. Materials and Method...

We aimed to quantify the penetration of ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and moxifloxacin into the cornea and aqueous humor of cadaver eyes. A total of 60 enucleated eyes, not eligible for corneal transplantation, were divided into three groups and immersed in commercial solutions of 0.3% ciprofloxacin, 0.3% ofloxacin, or 0.5% moxifloxacin for 10 min. Whole corneas and samples of aqueous humor were th...
متن کاملEvaluation of cyclosporine A eye penetration after administration of liposomal or conventional forms in animal model
A lot of researches have investigated the effects of topical cyclosporine A on the eye surface layers’ diseases. By now the main limitation in cyclosporine application is the low permeation of the drug into the posterior segments of the eye. The aim of present study was to formulate high permeable dosage form can be beneficial in the topical treatment of the uveitis. To reach higher corneal dru...

1. Experiments were performed on six dogs to determine the rate of penetration of Cl(33) and Na(24) across the blood-aqueous humor and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers after intravenous injection of the radioactive ions. The radioactivity measurements were made with an immersion type of Geiger-Müller counter. 2. The concentrations of the labelled ions in the anterior chamber and the cisterna ...
