Cataract (Cataracts) 01/01/2013 - "The authors report rare posterior segment toxicity in cataract surgeries complicated with intraoperative breach of posterior capsule barrier and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose use." 10/01/2011 - "Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2% provided significantly better optical clarity than BSS during cataract surgery. " 10/01/1993 - "It was concluded that there is a probable link between the intraocular use of hypromellose and abnormal pupils after cataract surgery." 10/01/1993 - "Hypromellose can be used as a viscoelastic substance during cataract surgery. " 10/01/1993 - "The fixed dilated pupil after cataract surgery--is it related to intraocular use of hypromellose?"
2.	Hemorrhage 02/01/2005 - "The bleeding site was packed with oxycellulose to control the bleeding. " 12/01/1968 - "Hemorrhage control in the dental pulp with the use of resorbable oxycellulose." 01/01/1953 - "[Bleeding control by oxycellulose gauze]." 03/01/1999 - "Group II (n = 9): Fibrin glue was applied with oxycellulose on the fingertip and then placing the fingertip on the bleeding part and pressing. " 12/01/1992 - "Because there was no bleeding point, fibrin glue and oxycellulose was fixed on this lesion for pressure hemostasis without any suture. "
3.	Glaucoma 08/01/1987 - "For this reason use of hypromellose should be confined to situations where its use is likely to confer some special advantage, as in the presence of a bound-down pupil in patient's with chronic glaucoma or perhaps to facilitate "in the bag" implantation." 01/01/2015 - "In our work we (i) designed a rabbit model of chronic, moderately elevated IOP for studying glaucoma and (ii) demonstrated efficacy of mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQ1 as a tool to reverse several traits of experimental glaucoma induced by a series of injections of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) to the anterior chamber of the rabbit eye. " 07/01/2015 - "Effect of 0.3% Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose/Dextran Versus 0.18% Sodium Hyaluronate in the Treatment of Ocular Surface Disease in Glaucoma Patients: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and Controlled Study." 01/01/2015 - "We attempted to develop anti-glaucoma eye drops using 0.5% disulfiram (DSF), 5% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, 0.1% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, and 2% methylcellulose (MC) (DSF eye drops with MC), and tested the ability of a DSF eye drops with MC to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in rabbit models. " 08/01/1992 - "The present experiments were designed to develop a rabbit model of chronic intraocular hypertension with characteristics similar to human chronic glaucoma by ligating vortex veins or by making single or multiple intraocular injections of 0.5% or 1% alpha-chymotrypsin, 20% chondroitin sulphate, 2% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, 2% sodium carboxymethylcellulose or 1% or 2% methylcellulose. "
4.	Colorectal Neoplasms (Colorectal Cancer) 05/28/2014 - "To be effective in colorectal cancer prevention and inhibition, the produced microcomposite contained hypromellose acetate succinate, which is insoluble in acidic conditions but highly dissolving at neutral or alkaline pH conditions. " 10/01/2015 - "Factorial designed 5-fluorouracil-loaded microsponges and calcium pectinate beads plugged in hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsules for colorectal cancer." 03/01/2007 - "The aim of this study was to develop colon-specific compression coated systems of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) for the treatment of colorectal cancer using xanthan gum, boswellia gum and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as the coating materials. "
5.	Insulin Resistance 07/03/2013 - "Altered hepatic gene expression profiles associated with improved fatty liver, insulin resistance, and intestinal permeability after hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) supplementation in diet-induced obese mice." 09/01/2012 - "The effects of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a highly viscous nonfermentable soluble dietary fiber, were evaluated on adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice fed a high-fat (HF) diet supplemented with either HPMC or insoluble fiber. " 01/01/2012 - "Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a viscous soluble fiber, reduces insulin resistance and decreases fatty liver in Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats." 01/01/2012 - "This study examined the effect of chronic consumption of the viscous, non-fermentable dietary fiber, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), on glucose control, insulin resistance and liver lipids in an obese diabetic rat model.
