Cysteine in corneal ulcer: part I. An experimental study.

This study was undertaken to see the healing effect of cysteine in corneal ulcer of traumatic origin (nonalkali burn). In both eyes of 11 albino rabbits, central corneal ulcers in a 5 mm diameter area were produced. Cysteine drops of 0.1 M were instilled in one eye while placibo (normal saline) drops were used in the other eye. This work was carried out as a blind study. The result of present work showed that the average rate of healing was enhanced with cysteine--it was 74 hours with cysteine while with placibo (normal saline) 98.7 hours. The statistical analysis of the present observation, ie, p and t value was highly significant.

Lysozyme in corneal ulcer.

In the present experimental study the role of lysozyme drops in healing of corneal ulcer of staphylococcal origin (sensitive to chloramphenicol) was studied on 16 albino rabbits. In 8 rabbits, in one eye placibo drops (distilled water) and in the other eye lysozyme 1% were put 4 times daily. In the other 8 rabbits, in one eye chloramphenicol drops 0.4% and in the other eye chloramphenicol drops 0.4% + lysozyme drops 1% were instilled 4 times daily. It was observed that the rate of healing of corneal ulcer was much earlier in the eyes which had local instillation of chloramphenicol drops + lysozyme in comparison to the eyes which had only chloramphenicol drops, lysozyme drops, or distilled water.

H3-phenylalanine incorporation into protein in the pituitary, hypothalamus and cerebral cortex of male rats during postnatal development.

Incorporation of H3-phenylalanine and concentration of protein in the anterior pituitary gland (APG), hypothalamus and cerebral cortex of male rats have been studied during postnatal development from day 21 to 120. APG and hypothalamus showed significantly higher rate of amino acid uptake and protein synthesis during the prepubertal phase, decrease at puberty and an age dependent variation thereafter. Protein concentrations and amino acid incorporation in the APG and hypothalamus are possibly influenced by the higher circulating levels of androgens during sexual maturation in marked contrast to their lack of effect on the cerebral cortex.
