Cholinesterase Activity in Plasma and Erythrocytes

Gholinesterase Activities in Plasma and Erythrocytes in Glaucoma Patients

“…On the basis of the same material no significant differences in the cholinesterase activities in both plasma and erythrocytes have been found previously. The findings as regards the plasma cholinesterase correspond to those made by Gallois & Herschberg (3) and Vanysek (12), while the findings regarding the erythrocyte cholinesterase correspond to the results published by Leopold (8) and Spiers & ]uul (11). By analysing whole blood Rados (9) did not find any difference in the cholinesterase activities between glaucoma and normal patients.…”

“…In our work on the same problem previously published a semi-automatic modification was used (11). For the present work a fully automatic technique was preferred.…”

Glaucoma, Miotic Therapy and Cataract

“…It has been discussed (de Roetth 1966 a) if the cataract seen after treatment with Phospholine Iodide may be associated with the systemic effects of the drug, for instance the lowered level of blood cholinesterase reported by many investigators (Leopold et al 1959;Klendskoj and Olmstead 1963;Humphreys and Holmes 1963;Spiers and Juul 1964;de Roetth et al 1965). However, in the unilateral Phospholine Iodide-treated cases included in the present study ASCV were found only in the eye treated with this drug.…”

On the Size of the Conjunctival Sac

“…may also cause universal symptoms following local application. Thus Spiers & juul (1964) found a reduction in cholinesterase activity in the blood following instillation of phospholine iodide for glaucoma. Also when judging the tolerance to contact lenses, particularly the larger types, as well as when fitting new prostheses, the question of the size of the conjunctiva is of importance.…”
