| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After induction of rodent model of nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy, we randomized three kinds of drugs which include saline, arginine, and steroid and injected each of them to the model. A steroid treatment group showed the most retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival effect at the 56days after the treatment. A transcorneal electric stimulation (TES) did not show the significant RGC survival effect and TES plus arginine injection showed the significant RGC survival effect.
A methylprednisolone dilate the posterior ciliary artery in a dose dependent manner. In addition, they dilate these through nitric oxide independent mechanism.
