Lyotropic bulk reversed hexagonal and reversed cubic liquid crystalline phases (hexagonal and cubic phases) composed of glycerol monooleate (GM) were used to design the vancomycin hydrochloridés (VHCl) delivery systems aiming to maintain VHCĺs therapeutic concentration during 24 h in the eye, locally (as an insert) and/or intravitreally (as a bulk phase injection). Bulk VHCĺs hexagonal and cubic phases were successfully prepared by melted homogenization and solvent evaporation method, and then an insert was prepared. The structural characteristics of liquid crystalline phases were studied using cross polarized light microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering technique. Read More

Importance: The Infectious Diseases Society of America recommends ophthalmologic examinations for everyone with positive Candida blood culture results (candidemia) to screen for endophthalmitis, a practice that remains controversial because of multiple concerns for its limited usefulness and potential for harm.

Objective: To determine guideline efficacy by reconciling discrepancies in the incidence of endophthalmitis and evaluating outcomes of studies assessing ophthalmologic screening for candidemia.

Evidence Review: PubMed literature searches, including the search terms candidemia, fungemia, chorioretinitis, and endophthalmitis, identified longitudinal studies prior to 2018 of patients who underwent ophthalmologic evaluations in the setting of positive fungal blood culture results regardless of symptoms or clinical status.

A novel voriconazole (VCZ)-loaded injectable hydrogel was in situ synthetized via a Schiff base reaction between polyaldehyde dextran (PAD) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTS) for intraocular drug loading and release. Water-insoluble VCZ, which is an effective agent in clinic treating fungal endophthalmitis, was loaded through the inclusion into the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) cavity based on host-guest interaction on the linear poly β-CD chain, which was in situ twined in the cross-linked hydrogel structure. The gelation time, degradation, and drug release process were investigated by studying three kinds of hydrogels with different volume ratio of PAD to CMCTS resolving in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution (3:7, 6:7, 9:7), respectively.
