Brief summary
Thrombosis of central retinal vein (CRV) occurs acutely, usually sided with the formation of thrombotic masses in the lumen of the trunk and branches of CRV. It is characterized by severe disturbances of visual functions, until the development of blindness. One of the major reasons for the decline of a macular edema (ME) due to increased permeability of the blood-retinal barrier. One of the effective methods for treating MO is the drug administration into the vitreous using biodegradable implants. However, the question remains the development and improvement of drug delivery to the posterior segment of the structures of the eyeball with effective bioresorbable devices. Objective: To evaluate the performance of the implant, saturated with dexamethasone, as a drug container on а model of photoinduced thrombosis of central retinal vein in rabbits.
The implant is multilayered tubular device length of 4.0 mm and a diameter of 0.3 mm. Each layer has a thickness of 10 microns. The implant has a rich dexamethasone 8 layers, that alternate with 7 unsaturated layers. The effectiveness of the implant containing dexamethasone was evaluated on the developed photo-induced pathophysiological model of thrombosis of CRV branches in 10 adult rabbits. Animals were divided into two equal groups. The rabbits in Group 1 were injected into vitreous cavity of the implant with dexamethasone at a dose of 300 mg; in the 2nd - did intravitreal injection of 0.1 ml of 0.4% dexamethasone (400 mg). Within 14 days the eyes of rabbits was examined by ophthalmoscopy, photographic images of the eye, optical coherence tomography and ERG. Dynamics of a clinical symptoms reduction of thrombosis after the implant administration was more significant than after a single dexamethasone injection.
