Effect of acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) on epithelial wound healing.

Abstract:

:The rate of reepithelialization of the rabbit cornea, receiving isotonic NaCl solution and acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) solution at 10 and 20% concentrations, following a superficial epithelial ulcer was studied by fluorescein staining, photography and light microscopy. Acetylcysteine solution does not seem to retard normal epithelial healing compared with control animals which received isotonic NaCl solution.

  • Low temperature and acrylamide inhibit lens opacification caused by calcium.

    abstract::We studied lens opacification of rabbit lenses in culture. Opacification was produced by maintaining rabbit lenses in medium containing calcium concentrations as high as 10 mmol/l and the opacity was measured using LASER spectroscopy. Increasing calcium caused significant opacification in lens cortex while the transpa...
