Abstract:
Objective To observe changes in electrolyte concentration and pathology of the eyeball content in rabbits following open ocular trauma coupled with seawater immersion.Methods Ca2+,Na+,K+ levels in the lens and vitreous body were determined at the different time points with spectrometry following open ocular trauma coupled with seawater immersion.Changes in the lens were also observed.Results Following seawater immersion,Ca2+,Na+ concentrations of the lens and vitreous body gradually increased,while K+ concentration of the lens continuously decreased and that of vitreous body continuously elevated,and those changes became increasingly obvious with the extension of time.One-week continuous observation after halfhour immersion indicated that Ca2+,Na+,K+ levels were slightly higher,but returned to normal after 2 weeks.A small part of the lens became cloudy after 30-minute immersion,and most part of the lens was cloudy after 2-hour immersion.Conclusions Changes in the levels of Ca2+,Na+ and K+ in the lens and vitreous body were closely associated with ocular lesion.It was difficult for the eye ball to recover after over half an hour seawater immersion.
