| Abstract | PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of vitrectomy on the concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the pharmacokinetics of intravitreally injected bevacizumab in the aqueous humor in cynomolgus macaques. METHODS: Pars plana lensectomy and a standard three-port vitrectomy were performed in one eye each of six macaques. After a minimal 12-week healing period, the vitrectomized eyes received an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (1.25 mg/50 µL). Aqueous humor and venous blood samples were obtained from the macaques just before vitrectomy, just before injection of bevacizumab, on days 1, 3, and 7, and during weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8 after the injection. The bevacizumab and VEGF concentrations were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: The VEGF concentrations in the aqueous humor ranged from 52.6 to 113.9 pg/mL (mean ± standard deviation [SD], 81.7 ± 27.0 pg/mL) before vitrectomy and 20.7 to 72.7 pg/mL (mean ± SD, 51.4 ± 20.5 pg/mL) 3 months after vitrectomy, a difference that reached significance (P = 0.03). The aqueous VEGF concentrations decreased to less than 9.0 pg/mL, the lower limit of detection, in all eyes between 1 and 7 days after injection of bevacizumab. The mean half-life of 1.25 mg intravitreally injected bevacizumab was 1.5 ± 0.6 days (range, 1.0-2.4 days) in the aqueous humor. CONCLUSIONS: The VEGF concentration in the aqueous humor decreased and the half-life of the intravitreally injected bevacizumab was shorter in vitrectomized eyes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
