Enzymatic degradation identifies components responsible for the structural properties of the vitreous body.

abstract：PURPOSE:Liquid perfluorocarbons are used as temporary vitreous substitutes in the surgical management of complicated retinal detachment. The purpose of this study was to determine if physiologic benefits could also be derived from the high oxygen solubility of perfluorochemicals relative to vitreous, especially during ...
