Study Arms (1)

Plasmin

EXPERIMENTAL

eyes with macular edema

Procedure: Intravitreal injection

Interventions

autologous plasmin was prepared in the operation department. Samples (3.5 mL) of autologous whole blood, collected by sterile vacuum blood collection tubes, were obtained from a peripheral vein. The blood was centrifuged at 4,000 rounds per minute for 15 minutes to obtain complete sedimentation of the cells; 1.5 mL of the plasma was aspirated and transferred under sterile conditions in a vial of urokinase(10,000 IU) that had been incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C. By gently moving the vial for 5 minutes, the solution was incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C; 0.2 mL of the obtained solution was used for intravitreal injection.
