    Description / Table of Contents: Seit einigen Jahren wird Gewebeplasminogenaktivator (rTPA) intraokular zur Behandlung persistierender Fibrinmembranen eingesetzt, ohne daß bisher nennenswerte Komplikationen beschrieben wurden. Wir berichten über unsere eigenen Erfahrungen beim Einsatz von rTPA im vorderen Augenabschnitt bei 25 Patienten. Über eine Parazentese wurden komplikationslos jeweils 25 µg rTPA (Actilyse, Dr. Karl Thomae GmbH) in die Vorderkammer gespritzt. Ein Rückgang des Fibrins war – wenn auch bei einigen Augen nur allmählich – in 21 Fällen zu verzeichnen. Als postoperative Komplikationen traten 2mal eine (beherrschbare) Nachblutung und 2mal eine irreversible oberflächliche Hornhauttrübung auf. Die Behandlung einer Fibrinmembran des vorderen Augenabschnitts mit rTPA stellt in vielen Fällen eine sinnvolle Ergänzung der lokalen Steroidgabe dar. Beunruhigend ist für uns jedoch das Auftreten von irreversiblen Hornhautkomplikationen, deren Pathogenese wir uns derzeit noch nicht erklären können. Aufgrund des eindeutigen zeitlichen Zusammenhangs müssen wir jedoch von einer kausalen bzw. toxischen Wirkung des rTPA selbst oder einer der Lösungskomponenten ausgehen.
    Notes: Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA) is commonly used in patients with myocardial infarction. Recently, it has also been applied intraocularly to dissolve post-operative fibrin with no serious complications being reported so far. In this study we describe our own experience with rTPA in 25 patients with persisting fibrinous membranes in the anterior segment. rTPA (Actilyse, Dr. Karl Thomae GmbH) was given in a single dose of 25 µg and injected into the anterior chamber via a paracentesis. We did not encounter any complications during the injection of rTPA. In 21 eyes fibrin could be reduced significantly, albeit sometimes only slowly. In 13 patients, the membrane had dissolved almost completely by the following day. In contrast, no success was observed after glaucoma surgery (2 eyes) and in chronic iritis (1 eye), or when fibrin mixed with blood was treated (1 eye). There were two (controllable) post-operative hemorrhages (rTPA after vitrectomy, and for fibrin/blood after cataract surgery). In addition, we noted 2 cases of irreversible superficial corneal clouding (rTPA after cataract surgery). We conclude that injection of rTPA can be a useful addition to steroid treatment in selective cases of persisting fibrin in the anterior segment. Long-standing membranes, however, are unlikely to be dissolved. Care should also be taken and rTPA be avoided when there is evidence of recent bleeding. Most worrying to us were the corneal complications that we cannot explain to date. With regard to the definite time correlation we feel that rTPA or one of the solution components might be the cause of this unusual feature.

    Notes: Abstract Digestion of fat in pancreatic insufficiency (PI) is strongly affected by how rapidly fat enters the duodenum. We postulated that: (1) oil empties faster in PI than in normals and (2) in both, it empties in a load-dependent fashion. We used a gamma camera to test these ideas by comparing gastric emptying of iodine-123 iodinated oil in normal and pancreatic-insufficient subjects after 15 g of free oil were ingested in a small spaghetti meal and 60 g of oil were ingested in a large spaghetti meal and in a milk emulsion. Indium-113m marked gastric emptying of water in the milk. In both groups after all meals, oil emptied fastest initially, slowing later; and oil emptied three to four times faster when 60 g vs 15 g were ingested. There were no significant differences between the groups of subjects with respect to gastric emptying of the spaghetti meals, but the pancreatic-insufficient subjects emptied both oil and water faster from the milk emulsion than did the normal subjects. The slower emptying of oil in the normal subjects was associated with significantly more layering of oil to the top of the intragastric milk emulsion.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of intragastric dextrose on albumin-stimulated cholecystokinin (CCK) release was studied in five healthy subjects and was related to gastric emptying and pancreatobiliary secretions. When combined with low concentrations of dextrose (4 g/100 ml), a 500-ml solution of albumin (7 g/100 ml) was rapidly emptied from the stomach into the duodenum (T1/2: 35 min). This rapid gastric emptying resulted in an only transient stimulation of pancreatobiliary secretion and an integrated CCK release of 278±45 pM × 180 min. When the concentration of dextrose in the albumin solution was increased from 4 g/100 ml to 21 g/100 ml, gastric emptying rate was distinctly slower (T1/2: 78 min;P〈0.01) and pancreatobiliary secretions became sustained (P〈0.01). CCK release was markedly higher (900±421 pM × 180 min;P〈0.05) after ingestion of the solution containing a high dextrose concentration. Intraduodenal infusion of 21 g/100 ml dextrose (3.1 ml/min) failed to significantly stimulate plasma CCK levels (119±38 pM × 120 min). We suggest that the higher CCK release in response to intragastrically administered albumin solution containing high concentrations of dextrose may have been induced by augmented peptic digestion of albumin due to delayed gastric emptying and by increased enteral digestion of albumin due to increased pancreatobilary outputs.
