Tear film osmolarity and ocular surface disease in two rabbit models for keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
We report the natural history of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) in two rabbit models. The first one (full KCS model) was created by closing the lacrimal gland excretory duct, and removing the nictitating membrane and harderian gland. We created the second one (lacrimal gland duct only [LGDO]-KCS model) by closing the lacrimal gland excretory duct. Although tear film osmolarity was abnormally ...
متن کاملDisruption of TGF-β Signaling Improves Ocular Surface Epithelial Disease in Experimental Autoimmune Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca
BACKGROUND TGF-β is a pleiotropic cytokine that can have pro- or anti-inflammatory effects depending on the context. Elevated levels of bioactive TGF-β1 in tears and elevated TGF-β1mRNA transcripts in conjunctiva and minor salivary glands of human Sjögren's Syndrome patients has also been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the response to desiccating stress (DS), an experimenta...
متن کاملTear ferning in normal dogs and dogs with keratoconjunctivitis sicca
This study evaluates tear ferning as an ancillary technique for the evaluation of the canine tear film in normal eyes and eyes affected by keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Thirty dogs with KCS and 50 control dogs with normal tear film were evaluated with a full ophthalmoscopic examination and a Schirmer tear test type 1 (STT) determined before tear samples were obtained from the medial canthus...
متن کاملDiagnostic tests in patients with symptoms of keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
We compared the relative value of the tear film breakup time, Schirmer test, lactoferrin immunologic assay and rose bengal staining in 156 patients with varying severity of symptoms characteristic of keratoconjunctivitis sicca and in 39 controls. Statistical analysis showed that in patients with minimal ocular irritation the Schirmer test in combination with the lactoferrin immunologic assay pr...
متن کاملKeratoconjunctivitis sicca due to sarcoidosis.
SARCOIDOSIS is well recognized as a cause of swelling of the lacrimal glands and enters into the differential diagnosis of tumours of this region (DukeElder, 1952). Such swellings may be followed, in some cases, by a form of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (Ainslie and James, 1956; Gruber, 1956). The association of systemic sarcoidosis with keratoconjunctivitis sicca in the absence of swelling of th...
