Dataset of tear film cytokine levels in dry eye disease (DED) patients with and without HIV infection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The tear film cytokine profiling data in this article was obtained from a prospective case-control study with a sample size of 34 dry eye disease (DED) patients with HIV infection and 32 DED patients without HIV infection, see "A distinct cytokines profile in tear film of dry eye disease (DED) patients with HIV infection" (R. Agrawal, P.K. Balne, A. Veerappan, V.B. Au, B. Lee, E. Loo, A. Ghosh, L. Tong, S.C. Teoh, J. Connolly, P. Tan, 2016) [1]. Tear samples were collected from all the subjects using Schirmer׳s strips and cytokine profiling was done using the Luminex bead based multiplex assay with a panel of 41 analytes. The cytokine level differences in each group of subjects were analyzed using logistic regression models.

Effect of thermal pulsation treatment on tear film parameters in dry eye disease patients
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of thermal pulsation treatment on tear film parameters, specifically osmolarity and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and dry eye disease (DED). METHODS A single-center review of 189 eyes that underwent thermal pulsation treatment was performed. Data were collected on pre and posttre...
متن کاملDataset of longitudinal analysis of tear cytokine levels, CD4, CD8 counts and HIV viral load in dry eye patients with HIV infection
The data presented in this article shows the longitudinal analysis of tear fluid cytokine profiles, blood CD4 and CD8 counts and HIV viral load in 34 dry eye patients with HIV infection during the HAART therapy. Clinical samples were collected from HIV patients with dry eye disease at the time of presentation to the clinic (visit 1), three months (visit 2) and 6 months (visit 3) after the prese...
متن کاملTear cytokine and chemokine analysis and clinical correlations in evaporative-type dry eye disease
PURPOSE Inflammatory molecules have been demonstrated in the tear film of patients with severe dry eye disease (DED). However, little attention has been paid to the most frequent moderate forms of DED. This study analyzes tear cytokine levels and their clinical correlations in patients with moderate evaporative-type DED due to meibomian gland disease (MGD). METHODS Twenty three evaporative-ty...
متن کاملTear Film Steroid Profiling in Dry Eye Disease by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disorder of the ocular surface unit resulting in eye discomfort, visual disturbance, and ocular surface damage; the risk of DED increases with age in both sexes, while its incidence is higher among females caused by an overall hormonal imbalance. The role of androgens has recently investigated and these hormones were considered to have a protective func...
متن کاملStudy design and baseline findings from the progression of ocular findings (PROOF) natural history study of dry eye
BACKGROUND The aim of this research is to initiate a 5-year natural history study of dry eye disease (DED) using objectively assessed and patient-reported outcomes, to explore the hypothesis that DED is a progressive condition that has substantive and measurable impacts not only on the ocular surface, but on quality of life and visual functioning. Our objective for this report is to examine the...
