The objective of this study was to determine the influence of drug lipophilicity on the extent of ocular and systemic absorption following topical solution instillation in the pigmented rabbit. ${\beta}-Blockers$ of various lipophilicity were chosen as model drugs, $25\;{\mu}l$ of a 15 mM drug solution in isotonic pH 7.4 buffer was instilled, and ocular tissue and plasma drug concentrations were monitored. Ocular absorption was apparently increased in all eye tissues, but non-corneal absorption ratio was decreased by increasing of drug lipophilicity. Systemic bioavailability was ranged from 61% for atenolol to 100% for timolol, and at least 50% of the systemically absorbed drug reached the blood stream from the nasal mucosa. Occluding the nasolacrimal duct for 5 min reduced the extent of systemic absorption of timolol and levobunolol, but did not do so for atenolol and betaxolol. Taken together, the ocular absorption of topically applied ophthalmic drugs would be modest for lipophilic drugs. By contrast, the systemic bioavailability would be modest for drugs at the extremes of lipophilicity, and the nasal contribution to systemically absorbed drug diminished with increasing of drug lipophilicity.

본 연구는 안경원이나 안과에 내원한 환자의 문진에서 반드시 알아두어야 할 알코올과 약물이 눈과 콘택트렌즈에 미치는 영향을 이해하기 위해 수행하였다. 전신질환이나 국소 이상으로 복용하는 약물, 연고, 점안액 등이 눈의 건강 특히 시력에 미치는 영향과 콘택트렌즈 착용에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 점안약을 제외한 경구투여 약물은 대부분 동공에 변화를 일으키며 누액생산의 감소, 황반이나 망막이상, 시신경 이상 등을 유발하고 점안약은 주로 각막과 결막에 영향을 마치는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 가장 많이 사용되는 안과용 약물은 스테로이드인데 상대적으로 부작용이 많으므로 신중을 기해야한다. 알코올을 섭취하면 탈수 현상과 영양부족 그리고 산동제로서 역할을 하여 나안 시력과 교정시력 저하, 복시, 암순응 불량, 글레어 Glare 회복시간 지연, 입체감 감소, 파랑-노랑 또는 적-녹색 손상, 시력의 환상 상태 등이 나타난다. 정상적인 순목과 누액 구성 성분이 적당하면 콘택트렌즈 착용을 성공적으로 할 수 있으나 빈번한 약물투여가 정상적인 기능을 방해하므로 정확히 문진하여 약물과 콘택트렌즈 관계를 고려해야 한다. 전신 또는 국소 투약이 소프트렌즈 착용과 변색에 미치는 영향 그리고 소프트렌즈는 약물의 저장소 역할을 하므로 방부제의 독성 및 알레르기 반응도 고려해야 성공적으로 콘택트렌즈를 착용할 수 있다. 또한 콘택트렌즈로 인한 염증성 반응을 치료하기 위해 Corticosteroid 와 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)가 이용되는데 스테로이드는 효과가 뛰어나지만 부작용이 많으므로 단기간 투여해야 한다.

Two patients presented with amaurosis fugax[AMF]. despite treatment with antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants due to previous transient ischemic attacks. Angiography demonstrated severe stenosis in the cavernous and petrous internal carotid artery[ICA] respectively, with reduced flow in the ophthalmic artery[OA]. Endovascular stent placement in both patients resulted in normalization of the vessel lumen of the stenotic vessel segments. In addition, complete restoration of OA flow was noted immediately after stenting. Both patients showed no further episode of AMF over a follow-up period of 38 and 23 months respectively. Our clinical and angiographic findings suggest that hemodynamic Insufficiency in retinal vasculature caused by a stenosis of the cavernous or petrous ICA can be treated successfully by endovascular stent.

The separation system of pharmacy and clinic has begun on the purpose of preventing drug misuse and abuse since July 1st of 2000. The system revealed some conflicts between doctors. pharmacists and consumers. Consequently pharmaceutical law and related policies undergone some change. Now in an early period of the implementation of the system, the necessity to examine relevance of those policies and law enforcement to medical doctors' prescriptions pattern evolves. This study tries to verify the pattern through a field study. For the purpose, 930 prescriptions collected in May of 2001, from a pharmacy located in Gangnam-gu in Seoul, were analysed. The prescriptions were issued from several clinics: 459 prescriptions from otorhinolaryngological clinic(ENT), 177 from internal medicine clinic(IM), 130 from ophthalmic clinic(Opt), 52 from obstetric and gynecologic clinic(OB & GY), and 112 from miscellaneous clinics. ENT, IM, Opt. OB & GY are situated in a clinic building of 40m distance. The general findings are following: 1) $88.8\%$ of the total patients came from 5clinics in nearby single clinic building. 2) Average prescribing days were 6.2 days and the average number of used drugs were 4.0 drugs, i.e. 2-4 times of WHO criteria 1-2 drugs. 3) Use of antibiotics in the oral administration drugs rated $71.8\%(WHO: \;22.7\%)$ 4) Use of injection rated $31.3\%(WHO:\;17.2\%)$ 5) $96.2\%$ of the patients use multiple antibiotics in the injection and oral administration together. 6) The patients had multiple disease : ENT patients 1.7 disease and 1M patients has 2.7 disease in average and several regular prescribing types evolved particularly in the ENT prescription. With this result we found that drugs. especially antibiotics are still abused a lot, and there were significant differences in the number of used drugs and prescrbing days between the clinics. It implies somes differences of the preparation work and time for pharmacists. And preparation can be done in advance by pharmacists' own efforts through noticing regular prescribing types. The study suggests the followings: 1) Patient counseling should be done to minimize the incidence of adverse events. 2) The enforcement of the standardized differential preparation price system should be reconsidered. 3) Preparation of typical regularly appeared prescription in advance. which is regarded as 'a prearranged work between doctors and pharmacists' and has been prohibited should be reconsidered. 4) Drug utilization review program should be established to prevent drugs abuse. especially antibiotics abuse.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify clinical nurses' knowledge of pharmacology, their need on pharmacology education contents, and perceived connectivity between knowledge and clinical practice. Methods: Subjects consisted of 114 clinical nurses. They responded to self-administered questionnaires about knowledge of pharmacology and need in pharmacology, and perceived connectivity between the knowledge and clinical practice. Results: The mean score of knowledge of pharmacology was $5.2{\pm}1.7$. The mean score of need on pharmacology in clinical practice was $7.9{\pm}1.9$, and those of satisfaction, application, and confidence with clinical performance by applying the knowledge to clinical practice were $7.4{\pm}1.9$, $6.8{\pm}2.0$, and $7.5{\pm}2.1$ respectively. Knowledge of pharmacology was positively correlated with perceived connectivity between knowledge and clinical practice. Scores of need of dose calculations was the highest among 14 units of pharmacology education contents in undergraduate courses while that of development of new drugs was the lowest. Scores of need of coagulation modifier drugs and thrombolytic agents were the highest among 16 units of pharmacology education contents by system specific drug while those of dermatologic and ophthalmic drugs were the lowest. Conclusion: The results indicate that knowledge of pharmacology is important in promoting perceived connectivity with clinical practice by applying knowledge to clinical practice.

실명의 제일 흔한 원인은 백내장이다. 백내장의 원인은 아직 확실하게 규명되지는 않았으나, 유발 원인으로 방사선, 당의 대사장애, 약물, 외상, 영양물질의 불균형, 선천성, 눈의 질환으로 인해 2차적으로 발생하는 백내장 등등이 있다. 일반적으로, 수정체 섬유의 산화가 수정체의 혼탁을 유발 시키는 주원인으로 알려져 있다. 수정체가 투명도를 유지하기 위해서는 수정체 섬유의 구조가 완전 하여야 한다. 수정체 섬유에 고분자 단백질의 양이 증가하면 수정체 섬유는 혼탁해 진다. 수정체 섬유내 단백질의 변화는 칼슘 이온과 관계가 깊다. 만약 칼슘 이온이 수정체 섬유내 알파-크리스탈린 단백질에 결합되면 수정체 섬유에는 고분자 단백질들이 많이 형성되어 수정체 섬유는 혼탁해 진다. 만약 칼슘 이온이 알파-크리스탈린 단백질에서 떨어져 나가면 수정체 섬유에는 저분자 단백질로 이루어지게 되므로 수정체 섬유는 다시 투명해 진다. 이 논문에서는 노인성 백내장의 발병이 연령의 증가와 복합하여 백내장을 유발시키는 여러 발병인자를 찾는데 앞으로도 더 많은 노력이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있으며, 당뇨병 환자에서 혈당과 삼투압이 백내장의 발생에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지와 백내장의 발생기전을 알아 보고자 하였다.

Carboplatin intra-arterial chemotherapy(IAC) has an advantage of increased uptake during the first passage of the drugs through tumor capillaries. Although not common, this type of therapy is known to cause neurological complications, myelosuppression, and ototoxicity. However, the incidence of ocular toxicity is reported to be rare. Eleven of our patients with glioma(Grade II Astrocytoma : 3, Grade III Astrocytoma : 1, Grade IV Astrocytoma : 5, Gliofibroma : 1, Oligodendroglioma : 1) underwent IAC regimen with carboplatin($300mg/m^2$) which were administrated after blood-brain barrier disruption. Of there, 3 patients had ocular complications after supra-ophthalmic IAC injection of carboplatin but fully recovered following steroid therapy. Although our results from IAC seem to be favorable for these patients, we suggest that its complications, such as ocular toxicity, need to be carefully considered prior to treatment.

One-year-old male Cocker Spaniel dog was referred for the third eyelid enlargement and inflammation in the left eye (OS). It gradually swelled for 2 weeks after the cherry eye repair by conjunctival mucosa pocket procedure at a private animal clinic. Routine ophthalmic examinations including neuro-ophthalmic examination, Schirmer tear test, intraocular pressure and corneal fluorescein staining were all normal. No lesions were found on slit lamp biomicroscopy and indirect ophthalmoscopy except for third eyelid swelling in the OS. Ultrasonography revealed cystic structure within the OS nictitating membrane. Fluid from the cyst was aspirated and there were no microorganisms or neoplastic changes. Surgical intervention was performed under general anesthesia. On the day of the surgery, there was a deep corneal ulcer in the OS, which had not existed before. Ventral palpebral surface of the third eyelid was incised horizontally to the shaft of the T-shaped hyaline cartilage. And then, a full thickness of the cystic wall was incised and marsupialized. Additionally, a direct suture was performed on the ulcerated cornea. Topical and systemic antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed. One month after the surgery, the third eyelid swelling and the discharge were improved. Marsupialization of the nictitating membrane cyst relieved the swelling of the third eyelid and inflammation. It could be a simple but effective surgical intervention for the cystic complication of conjunctival mucosa pocket procedure in dogs.

목적: 콘택트렌즈를 권장착용시간 동안 착용한 후에 렌즈의 재질에 따라 발생하는 각막부종의 정도를 비교해 보고자 한다. 방법: 안질환이나 약물사용이 없는 성인남녀 43명 77안을 대상으로 하였다. Narafilcon A, HEMA, 실리콘 하이드로젤 재질의 정기교체형 렌즈 3종의 렌즈를 사용하였다. 중심각막두께는 Pentacam을 사용하여 렌즈 착용 전과 8시간 착용 후를 측정하였다. 착용 전과 후의 차이 값으로 각막부종의 정도를 판단하였다. 결과: Narafilcon A, HEMA 재질의 렌즈, 실리콘 하이드로젤 재질의 정기교체형 렌즈의 평균 각막부종은 각각 $2.36{\pm}6.15{\mu}m(Mean{\pm}SD)$, $23.61{\pm}10.71{\mu}m$, $18.25{\pm}8.64{\mu}m$였다. Narafilcon A를 착용한 뒤 측정된 중심각막두께는 착용 전 측정한 중심각막두께와 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. HEMA와 실리콘 하이드로젤 재질의 렌즈에서 착용 후에 유발된 각막부종은 그 정도에 있어 narafilcon A와 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결론: 정기교체형 실리콘 하이드로젤 재질 렌즈에서 유발된 각막부종의 양은 HEMA 재질의 렌즈에서 유발된 각막부종의 양과 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었지만 narafilcon A와는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 콘택트렌즈 재료의 조성에 따라 권장착용시간을 초과하지 않도록 주의해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
