Acute or chronic inflammation of the iris and ciliary body characterized by exudates into the anterior chamber, discoloration of the iris, and constricted, sluggish pupil. Symptoms include radiating pain, photophobia, lacrimation, and interference with vision.
Inflammation of the anterior uvea comprising the iris, angle structures, and the ciliary body. Manifestations of this disorder include ciliary injection, exudation into the anterior chamber, iris changes, and adhesions between the iris and lens (posterior synechiae). Intraocular pressure may be increased or reduced.
A broad-specificity HLA-DR antigen that is associated with HLA-DRB1 CHAINS encoded by DRB1*11 and DRB1*12 alleles.
The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
Arthritis of children, with onset before 16 years of age. The terms juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) refer to classification systems for chronic arthritis in children. Only one subtype of juvenile arthritis (polyarticular-onset, rheumatoid factor-positive) clinically resembles adult rheumatoid arthritis and is considered its childhood equivalent.
Inflammation of part or all of the uvea, the middle (vascular) tunic of the eye, and commonly involving the other tunics (sclera and cornea, and the retina). (Dorland, 27th ed)
Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care.

Iris crystals in chronic uveitis. (1/45)

AIMS: To analyse the unusual physical sign of iris crystals occurring in patients with uveitis. METHODS: Demographic details and clinical features were documented in 24 patients with chronic uveitis and iris crystals. Plasma immunoglobulin subclasses were measured, and a histopathological review of iridectomy specimens from 33 patients with chronic uveitis was also undertaken. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 38 years, with a slight preponderance of females. 17 patients had Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis although a number of other uveitis entities were represented. There was no correlation between severity of clinical signs and presence of iris crystals. Over a mean follow up period of 15 months no significant change in the number, size, or position of the crystals was seen except in four patients who underwent intraocular surgery. Only three patients had raised plasma IgG1. The review of the histology of iridectomy specimens failed to show evidence of Russell body formation in any patient. CONCLUSIONS: Iris crystals appear to be rare but may be underreported as they are small and can easily be missed. They are likely to be associated with disease processes in which there is active immunoglobulin production within the anterior chamber, such as Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis.  (+info)

Characterization of phenotype and cytokine profiles of T cell lines derived from vitreous humour in ocular inflammation in man. (2/45)

Intermediate uveitis (IU) and Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis (FHC) are two chronic ocular inflammatory disorders. They differ considerably in ocular morbidity, which is higher in IU. T cell lines were derived from the vitreous humour (VH) and peripheral blood (PB) of 10 patients with IU and four patients with FHC. There was a predominance of CD8+ in all the lines. However, there was a significantly higher percentage of CD4+ T cells in the T cell lines derived from VH of IU (32.0 +/- 8.6%) compared with FHC patients (19. 2 +/- 8.9%) (P = 0.04). The VH-derived T cell lines (VDTC) produced significantly higher levels of IL-2, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and IL-10, but not IL-4, compared with PB-derived T cell lines (PBDTC) in both entities. There was significantly higher IL-2 production by VDTC from IU when compared with FHC patients (1810 +/- 220 pg/ml versus 518 +/- 94 pg/ml; P = 0.009), which could account for the more aggressive clinical features of this condition. In contrast IL-10 production was significantly higher by the VDTC from FHC compared with IU patients. The high IL-10 production by T cells infiltrating VH of FHC patients could down-regulate the inflammatory responses, thereby contributing to the benign clinical course seen in these patients. The accumulation of T cells with differing cytokine profiles in the VH suggests an important role for these cytokines in the pathogenesis of these chronic uveitides.  (+info)

Pregnancy and early onset pauciarticular juvenile chronic arthritis. (3/45)

OBJECTIVES: To study interaction of early onset pauciarticular juvenile chronic arthritis (EOP-JCA) and pregnancy in the Polish population, in particular to confirm the ameliorating effect of pregnancy on disease activity reported by others and to analyse the factors that govern the occurrence of postpartum flare, with emphasis on the potential role of breast feeding. METHODS: The reproductive outcome and disease status in 39 adult women with history of EOP- JCA was examined by means of a questionnaire and an interview. In all patients the disease onset occurred before the 6th birthday, 19 had persistent pauciarticular JCA (PeEOP-JCA) and 20 had extended pauciarticular JCA (ExEOP-JCA). RESULTS: 23 women had at least one successful pregnancy, seven had unsuccessful pregnancies but all of them had also one or more successful pregnancies. Among those who have never been pregnant (n=16) there was a higher frequency of eye disease and ExEOP-JCA compared with the rest of the group. In almost all cases pregnancy was associated with remission of disease activity, however a postpartum flare appeared after 22 pregnancies (52%). The flares were more frequent in women who had an active disease before pregnancy, had a flare after a previous pregnancy and/or were breast feeding. CONCLUSIONS: In EOP-JCA patients pregnancy generally has a good outcome and induces amelioration of disease activity. After delivery, however, a flare of disease often appears, especially in women who were breast feeding, had a postparum flare previously or had an active disease before pregnancy. The pattern of interaction between disease and pregnancy found in EOP-JCA makes EOP-JCA similar in this respect to RA, but different from systemic lupus erythematosus and ankylosing spondylitis.  (+info)

Molecular analysis of resolving immune responses in uveitis. (4/45)

To identify the cellular immune processes underlying intra-ocular inflammation, aqueous humour was obtained at cataract surgery from 22 patients with clinically inactive uveitis and 24 patients with age-related cataract. mRNA expression for the cytokines IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta); T cell subsets CD3, CD4, CD8; monocytes and macrophages (CD14); and B cells (CD19) was measured using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and radiometric analysis. The majority of uveitis patients demonstrated a T cell-mediated inflammatory response, predominately involving a Th1-like cytokine profile with expression of IL-2 and IFN-gamma in 16/22 and 18/22 samples, respectively. These cytokines were present in only a small number of patients with age-related cataract. This Th1-like polarization was supported by an increased expression of CD8 in a number of patients. IL-1beta was expressed in only six uveitic eyes. Only four patients expressed either IL-4 or IL-10 and no patient expressed both. TGF-beta mRNA could be detected in 18/22 uveitis patients and 15/24 controls. IL-12, the paradigmatic Th1-inducing cytokine, was absent in all samples but CD14 was expressed in the majority of patients and controls. CD19 could not be detected in any sample. The cellular infiltrate in the uveitic eyes showed clear evidence of low IL-1 and absent IL-12 expression despite a Th1-like profile and high expression of macrophages. This strongly suggests that the systemic immunosuppressive therapy used prior to surgery in some patients and/or the chronicity of the uveitis had actively suppressed/switched off macrophage function, leading to resolution of T cell activity.  (+info)

Two clinical trials of an intraocular steroid delivery system for cataract surgery. (5/45)

PURPOSE: To determine the safety and efficacy of an intraocular dexamethasone drug delivery system (Surodex) in the treatment of inflammation following cataract surgery. METHODS: Surodex is a biodegradable polymer that releases dexamethasone for 7 to 10 days after placement in the anterior segment. Study 1 was a prospective, randomized, double-masked Phase II clinical trial of 90 cataract surgical patients that compared treatment with Surodex to treatment with a placebo drug delivery system and to no anti-inflammatory drug treatment at all. Study 2 was a separate prospective, randomized, double-masked study of 60 cataract surgical patients that compared treatment with Surodex to topical dexamethasone (eye drop) therapy. RESULTS: In the first study, Surodex was superior to placebo in suppressing postsurgical inflammation throughout the 60-day postoperative period, as judged by masked-evaluator, slit-lamp grading of cell and flare. The differences were statistically significant from postoperative day 3 through postoperative week 3. The majority of Surodex patients did not require topical steroid by 2 weeks after surgery (93%) or by 2 months after surgery (88%). In the second study, Kowa laser flare meter readings were lower in Surodex patients throughout the 90-day postoperative period. The results were statistically significant at 4, 8, and 15 days following surgery. There were no significant adverse complications of Surodex in either study. CONCLUSION: Surodex was safe and effective in suppressing postcataract surgery inflammation and appears to be a promising alternative to topical steroids.  (+info)

Bilateral glaucomatocyclitic crisis in a patient with Holmes Adie syndrome. (6/45)

Deep tendon reflexes were absent although they were documented to be present 6 years ago. A possibility of a progressive autonomic dysfunction in both these conditions is discussed.  (+info)

Increase of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in sera of patients with iridocyclitis. (7/45)

AIMS: To determine whether macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels were increased in sera of the patients with iridocyclitis. METHODS: Sera were obtained from 41 patients with acute iridocyclitis, 13 patients with chronic iridocyclitis, and 44 healthy control subjects. MIF levels were determined by a human MIF ELISA. RESULTS: The average levels of MIF in the sera of patients with both acute and chronic iridocyclitis were significantly higher than that of healthy subjects. CONCLUSION: Uveitis induces the elevation of serum MIF, which may affect various inflammatory symptoms in uveitis.  (+info)

Detection of endogenous 12-hydroxyeicosatrienoic acid in human tear film. (8/45)

PURPOSE: Increased production of 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [12(R)-HETE] and 12-hydroxyeicosatrienoic acid [12(R)-HETrE] positively correlates with the in vivo progression of ocular surface inflammation in rabbits. Tear film was collected from human subjects with inflamed eyes to determine whether these eicosanoids could be detected from endogenous sources. METHODS: Control and inflamed eyes were assessed and assigned a subjective inflammatory score. Tears were collected and extracted with an internal standard. Single-ion-monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SIM-GC-MS) was performed to quantitate endogenous levels of 12-HETE and 12-HETrE. RESULTS: 12-HETrE was detected in the tear film of both control and inflamed eyes, with the mean level being seven times higher in inflamed tears. 12-HETE was not detected in control tears and was detected in only 6 of 38 inflamed-eye tear samples. CONCLUSIONS: The current findings demonstrate that the human eye produces detectable amounts of 12-HETrE, which is released into the tear flow. The increased levels of 12-HETrE associated with ocular surface inflammation suggest that this eicosanoid may contribute to inflammation of the ocular surface in humans.  (+info)

Iridocyclitis is a medical term that refers to the inflammation of both the iris (the colored part of the eye) and the ciliary body (a structure located behind the iris that helps control the shape of the lens and produces fluid inside the eye). This condition can cause redness, pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, and tearing. It may be associated with various causes such as infections, autoimmune diseases, or trauma. Treatment typically involves medication to reduce inflammation and prevent complications.

Anterior uveitis is a medical term that refers to the inflammation of the front portion of the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye. The uvea includes the iris (the colored part of the eye), the ciliary body (a structure behind the iris that helps focus light onto the retina), and the choroid (a layer of blood vessels that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the retina).

Anterior uveitis is characterized by inflammation of the iris and/or the ciliary body, leading to symptoms such as redness, pain, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and a small pupil. The condition can be caused by various factors, including infections, autoimmune diseases, trauma, or unknown causes (idiopathic).

Treatment of anterior uveitis typically involves the use of topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and cycloplegics to relieve pain and prevent spasms of the ciliary muscle. In some cases, oral medications may be necessary to control the inflammation. Prompt treatment is important to prevent complications such as glaucoma, cataracts, or permanent vision loss.

HLA-DR5 is a type of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class II histocompatibility antigen. HLAs are proteins found on the surface of cells that help the immune system recognize and distinguish foreign substances from the body's own cells. The HLA-DR5 antigen is further divided into two subtypes, DR51 and DR52, which are encoded by different genes.

The HLA-DR5 antigen is commonly found in approximately 10-15% of the human population and has been associated with an increased risk of developing certain autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. However, it's important to note that having the HLA-DR5 antigen does not guarantee that a person will develop one of these conditions, and many people with the antigen never develop any autoimmune diseases.

It's also worth mentioning that HLA typing is used in organ transplantation to match donors and recipients and reduce the risk of rejection. The HLA-DR5 antigen is one of several HLAs that may be considered during this process.

In medical terms, the iris refers to the colored portion of the eye that surrounds the pupil. It is a circular structure composed of thin, contractile muscle fibers (radial and circumferential) arranged in a regular pattern. These muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and can adjust the size of the pupil in response to changes in light intensity or emotional arousal. By constricting or dilating the iris, the amount of light entering the eye can be regulated, which helps maintain optimal visual acuity under various lighting conditions.

The color of the iris is determined by the concentration and distribution of melanin pigments within the iris stroma. The iris also contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue that support its structure and function. Anatomically, the iris is continuous with the ciliary body and the choroid, forming part of the uveal tract in the eye.

Juvenile arthritis (JA) is a term used to describe a group of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders that can affect children aged 16 or younger. In JA, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, causing inflammation in the joints, which can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and damage over time.

There are several types of juvenile arthritis, including:

1. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): This is the most common form of JA, and it includes several subtypes that are classified based on the number of joints affected and the presence or absence of certain symptoms.
2. Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (JSLE): This is a type of lupus that affects children, and it can cause inflammation in various parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, and lungs.
3. Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM): This is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of the blood vessels, leading to muscle weakness, skin rashes, and joint pain.
4. Juvenile Scleroderma: This is a group of disorders that cause hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues, which can also affect the joints.
5. Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis (JPsA): This is a type of arthritis that affects children who have psoriasis, a chronic skin condition. JPsA can cause inflammation in the joints and skin.

The causes of juvenile arthritis are not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. There is no cure for JA, but treatments such as medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms and prevent long-term complications.

Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye between the retina and the white of the eye (sclera). The uvea consists of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Uveitis can cause redness, pain, and vision loss. It can be caused by various systemic diseases, infections, or trauma. Depending on the part of the uvea that's affected, uveitis can be classified as anterior (iritis), intermediate (cyclitis), posterior (choroiditis), or pan-uveitis (affecting all layers). Treatment typically includes corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive drugs to control inflammation.

A chronic disease is a long-term medical condition that often progresses slowly over a period of years and requires ongoing management and care. These diseases are typically not fully curable, but symptoms can be managed to improve quality of life. Common chronic diseases include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). They are often associated with advanced age, although they can also affect children and younger adults. Chronic diseases can have significant impacts on individuals' physical, emotional, and social well-being, as well as on healthcare systems and society at large.
