Decreased tear lipocalin concentration in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction.
BACKGROUND/AIM Recent studies have demonstrated that tear lipocalin (TL) and phospholipids have a crucial role in maintaining tear film stability. The level of TL in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) was examined and these data were correlated with the severity of their clinical disorder. METHODS 12 patients with obstructive MGD, 12 patients with seborrhoeic MGD, and 12 age matc...
متن کاملMeibomian Gland Dysfunction Correlates to the Tear Film Instability and Ocular Discomfort in Patients with Pterygium
Pterygium is a very common disease in an eye clinic characterized by a benign proliferation of local conjunctiva that often crosses the limber of cornea and extends into corneal surface. Variety of studies has showed that pterygium is able to result in ocular discomfort and the change of ocular surface environment, such as dry eye. However, the link between abnormal tear film function and ptery...
متن کاملCharacterization of Rat Meibomian Gland Ion and Fluid Transport
PURPOSE We establish novel primary rat meibomian gland (MG) cell culture systems and explore the ion transport activities of the rat MG. METHODS Freshly excised rat MG tissues were characterized as follows: (1) mRNA expression of selected epithelial ion channels/transporters were measured by RT-PCR, (2) localization of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) mRNAs was performed by in situ hybridizat...
متن کاملMeibomian gland imaging: A review
http://www.avehjournal.org doi:10.4102/aveh.v74i1.12 The meibomian glands of the upper and lower eyelids play a valuable role in secreting the lipid layer of the tear film. Disturbances in meibomian gland function may result in altered secretion and variations in tear composition which may lead to meibomian gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye, leading to ocular discomfort. To diagnose and...
متن کاملIntense pulsed light treatment and meibomian gland expression for moderate to advanced meibomian gland dysfunction.
BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of periocular intense pulsed light therapy combined with meibomian gland expression for chronic dry eye due to moderate to advanced meibomian gland dysfunction. METHODS This single-institution, open-label prospective study involved 26 participants who received bilateral treatments using a proprietary intense pulsed light device (E > Eye, E-Swin,...
