Comparison of triamcinolone acetonide, 11-deoxycortisol and other lipid formulae for the visualization of vitreous body in the anterior chamber after posterior capsule rupture in animal models.
    Acta ophthalmologica, 2008, Volume: 86, Issue:1

    The efficacy and toxicity of triamcinolone acetonide and other lipid formulae--calcium palmitate, cholesterol and 11-deoxycortisol--in the visualization of the prolapsed vitreous body in the anterior chamber after posterior capsule rupture were investigated in animal models.. In porcine eyes, a suspension of calcium palmitate, cholesterol, triamcinolone acetonide and 11-deoxycortisol was injected into the anterior chamber after intentionally creating posterior capsule rupture. Following gentle irrigation and aspiration, the vitreous body prolapsed in the anterior chamber was removed using an anterior vitrectomy cutter. In phakic rabbit eyes, the side-effects of the reagents were assessed for biomicroscopic appearance, intraocular pressure (IOP) and corneal histology.. The suspension of calcium palmitate, cholesterol, triamcinolone acetonide and 11-deoxycortisol was effective in the visualization of the vitreous body prolapsed in the anterior chamber after posterior capsule rupture. When cholesterol and calcium palmitate were injected into the anterior chamber, they remained there; this induced a significant increase in IOP and corneal oedema. In contrast, most of the triamcinolone acetonide and 11-deoxycortisol that was injected into the anterior chamber had disappeared a day after the injection without affecting IOP or corneal endothelial density. When injected into the intravitreous cavity, triamcinolone led to a significant increase in IOP 2 and 4 weeks after the injection. However, calcium palmitate, cholesterol and 11-deoxycortisol injected into the vitreous cavity had no effect on IOP at 4 weeks.. The suspension of triamcinolone acetonide and 11-deoxycortisol was effective in visualizing the vitreous body prolapsed in the anterior chamber after posterior capsule rupture. However, the amount of the reagent must be kept to a minimum to prevent the potential risk of ocular toxicities and postoperative late-onset ocular hypertension.

Clinical application of 11-deoxycortisol in visualizing prolapsed vitreous body after posterior capsule rupture in cataract surgery.
    Journal of cataract and refractive surgery, 2005, Volume: 31, Issue:6

    To evaluate the clinical usefulness of 11-deoxycortisol, a precursor of cortisol in steroid metabolism, in visualizing the vitreous body in the anterior chamber after posterior capsule rupture during cataract surgery.. Department of Ophthalmology, Tsukuba University Hospital, Ibaraki, Japan.. Eight eyes had anterior vitrectomy during cataract surgery using this new technique. A suspension of 11-deoxycortisol was prepared by dilution in balanced salt solution without preservatives or emulsifying agents. After a posterior capsule rupture, the suspension was injected into the anterior chamber. The visual and anatomical outcomes of surgery were evaluated during a follow-up of 7 to 9 months.. After the 11-deoxycortisol injection, the vitreous body that had prolapsed through the torn posterior capsule, with white particles entrapped on its surface, became clearly visible. Complete removal of the prolapsed vitreous body was achieved easily and safely using an anterior vitrectomy system. No postoperative complications related to the use of 11-deoxycortisol were observed.. Injection of 11-deoxycortisol helped visualize the vitreous body in the anterior chamber after posterior capsule rupture. The technique minimized intraoperative and postoperative complications related to posterior capsule rupture and vitreous loss during cataract surgery [corrected]

Visualizing the vitreous body in the anterior chamber using 11-deoxycortisol after posterior capsule rupture in an animal model.
    Ophthalmology, 2004, Volume: 111, Issue:7

    To develop a new technique to visualize vitreous body prolapsed in the anterior chamber using 11-deoxycortisol.. Experimental study.. An animal model of posterior capsule rupture was developed to investigate the usefulness of 11-deoxycortisol, a precursor of cortisol without steroid activity. After the intentional creation of posterior capsule rupture, the suspension of 11-deoxycortisol was injected into the anterior chamber of rabbit eyes. After gentle irrigation and aspiration, the vitreous body that had prolapsed into the anterior chamber was removed using an anterior vitrectomy cutter. To investigate the safety of 11-deoxycortisol, the biomicroscopic appearance, intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal endothelial count, and microstructure of the corneal endothelium were examined in the rabbits that received injections of 11-deoxycortisol in the anterior chamber.. In our posterior capsule rupture model, the vitreous in the anterior chamber became clearly visible, with 11-deoxycortisol showing white particles entrapped on its surface. The injection of 11-deoxycortisol facilitated the complete removal of the vitreous body from the anterior chamber. In intact rabbit eyes, most of the injected 11-deoxycortisol had disappeared from the anterior chamber by 12 hours after injection. The injection of 11-deoxycortisol had no effect on IOP, corneal endothelial density, or the microstructure of the corneal endothelium.. The injection of 11-deoxycortisol in the anterior chamber is useful in visualizing the vitreous body and has no significant side effects. This technique might reduce the intraoperative and postoperative complications of anterior vitrectomy after posterior capsule rupture.
