Th1 versus Th2 immune responses in autoimmune lacrimal gland disease in MRL/Mp mice. (1/89)
PURPOSE: In MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr (MRL/lpr) and MRL/Mp-+/+ (MRL/+) mice, a T-cell-driven lacrimal gland inflammation spontaneously develops that is a model for Sjogren's syndrome. The lacrimal gland lesions in these mice were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for the relative contributions of T-helper (Th)1 versus Th2 immune responses. METHODS: Frozen sections of lacrimal glands from MRL/lpr and MRL/+ mice ages 1 through 5 months were stained with monoclonal antibodies to the cytokines interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)4 and to the cell surface costimulatory molecules B7-1 and B7-2, which are associated with Th1 and Th2 responses, respectively. RESULTS: The median proportion of cells staining for IL-4 ranged from 30% to 67% over time for MRL/lpr mice and from 30% to 55% for MRL/+ mice. The median proportion of cells staining for IFN-gamma ranged from 1% to 5% for MRL/lpr mice and from 0% to 3% for MRL/+ mice. The proportion of cells staining positively for IL-4 was significantly greater than for IFN-gamma in both MRL/lpr (mean difference, 33%; P = 0.0001) and MRL/+ mice (mean difference, 42%; P = 0.0002). The median proportion of cells staining positively for B7-2 ranged from 20% to 38% for MRL/lpr mice and from 16% to 34% for MRL/+ mice. The median proportion of cells staining for B7-1 ranged from 2% to 10% for MRL/lpr mice and from 2% to 5% for MRL/+ mice. The proportion of cells staining positively for B7-2 was significantly greater than for B7-1 for both MRL/lpr mice (mean difference, 15%; P = 0.001) and for MRL/+ mice (mean difference, 19%; P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of immunohistochemistry for cytokines and costimulatory molecules, inflammatory lacrimal gland lesions in MRL/lpr and MRL/+ mice appear to be a largely Th2 phenomenon. (+info)Nasolacrimal duct foreign body--endoscopic removal. (2/89)
Foreign body in the nasolacrimal duct is extremely rare. We present a case of foreign body of nasolacrimal duct responsible for recurrent dacryocystitis which was removed with the help of an endoscope. (+info)Leakage of aquaporin 5 in the tear of dacryoadenitis mice. (3/89)
PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to investigate whether leakage of aquaporin 5 (AQP5) in tear is associated with damage of lacrimal glands (LGs) in dacryoadenitis models. METHODS: Female MRL/lpr (24-week-old), male NOD/Shi Jci (5-, 8-, and 10-week-old), female NFS/s-TX (10-week-old), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced dacryoadenitis model mice were used. Tear fluid was collected by a cotton thread. Tear proteins in the thread were dissolved in sodium dodecyl sulfate buffer, and AQP5 proteins were analyzed by the Western blot technique using anti-AQP5 antibody. LGs were prepared for hematoxylin and eosin staining or immunostaining of AQP5. RESULTS: In MRL/lpr, NFS/s-TX, 8- and 10-week-old NOD/Shi Jci mice, AQP5 protein was detected in the tear by Western blot analysis. Inflammatory lymphocyte infiltrations were observed in LGs of these dacryoadenitis model mice. In contrast, AQP5 leakage and damage of LG were not observed in normal mice. In 5-week-old NOD/Shi Jci mice, infiltration was not seen in LG, and AQP5 leakage was not detected in the tear. In LPS-induced dacryoadenitis model mice, either tissue destruction with inflammation in LG or AQP5 leakage in the tear was observed. AQP5 in the tear and tissue inflammation in LGs was not found in control mice. These results indicate that AQP5 is leaked in tears when LGs are damaged by dacryoadenitis. CONCLUSIONS: Leakage of AQP5 in the tear was found to be related to LG damage. This finding suggests that detection of AQP5 in tear is useful for specific diagnosis of LG disorders with tissue destruction. (+info)Detection of natural peptide antibiotics in human nasolacrimal ducts. (4/89)
PURPOSE: To determine the expression and production of antimicrobial peptides by mucosal cells of the lacrimal passage in healthy and pathologic states. METHODS: Detection of bactericidal-permeability-increasing protein (BPI), heparin-binding protein (CAP37), human cationic antimicrobial protein (LL-37), human alpha-defensin 5 (HD5), human alpha-defensin 6 (HD6), human beta-defensin 1 (HBD-1), and human beta-defensin 2 (HBD-2) was performed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Intracellular deposition of lysozyme, lactoferrin, secretory phospholipase A(2), human neutrophil defensins (HNP-1, -2, and -3), human beta-defensin 1 (HBD-1), and human beta-defensin 2 (HBD-2) was analyzed immunohistochemically. Samples were obtained from 15 patients by surgery and from 10 cadavers. RESULTS: RT-PCR revealed BPI, CAP37, and HBD-1 mRNA in samples of healthy nasolacrimal duct epithelium. Additionally, HBD-2 mRNA was detected in epithelial samples from patients with dacryocystitis. Messenger RNAs for LL-37 and alpha-defensin 5 and 6 were absent in all samples investigated. Immunohistochemistry revealed lysozyme, lactoferrin, secretory phospholipase A(2), and HNP-1, -2, and -3 to be present in all samples, whereas HBD-1 was present only in some of the healthy and inflamed samples. Immunoreactive HBD-2 peptide was visible only in some of the inflamed samples. CONCLUSIONS: The data suggest that the human efferent tear ducts produce a broad spectrum of antimicrobial peptides. Under inflammatory conditions, changes in the expression pattern occurred, revealing induction of the human inducible defensin HBD-2 and in some cases downregulation of HBD-1 and CAP37. Antimicrobial peptides have a therapeutic potential in dacryocystitis, in that they have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and accelerate epithelial healing. However, caution is appropriate, because defensins also promote fibrin formation and cell proliferation, which are key elements in scarring processes, such as dacryostenosis. (+info)Pathogenesis of sialodacryoadenitis in gnotobiotic rats. (5/89)
The pathogenesis of sialodacryoadenitis was studied in gnotobiotic CD rats inoculated intranasally with the causal virus. Virus replication was detected sequentially in the nasopharynx, tracheobronchial tree, cervical lymph nodes, submaxillary and parotid salivary glands, exorbital gland, and Harderian gland. Acute rhinitis appeared within 2 days after inoculation, and salivary glands had lesions in 4 days. Early changes in salivary and exorbital glands were characterized by necrosis of ductal epithelium, which rapidly progressed to widespread acinar necrosis, marked inflammation, edema and total effacement of glandular architecture. Harderian glands also had massive necrosis of tubuloalveolar units. Repair in all glands was characterized by marked squamous metaplasia of tubuloalveolar units. Repair in all glands was characterized by marked squamous metaplasia of ducts. Neutralizing and complement-fixing antibodies were detected in 7 days, and there was a concomitant decrease in tissue-virus titers. There was no detectable evidence for hematogenous spread of virus or for retrograde infection by way of major salivary ducts. (+info)Tuberculous dacryoadenitis: a rare manifestation of tuberculosis. (6/89)
A 41-year-old Somalian female inhabitant of The Netherlands presented with malaise and cervical lymph node swelling. Enlarged mediastinal, hilar and abdominal lymph nodes were found on CT scan. Subsequently the left lacrimal gland became swollen, accompanied by periostitis of the lateral orbit margin. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was cultured from lymph node tissue and the diagnosis of tuberculous dacryoadenitis with periostitis was made on CT images and histology. All lesions responded well to tuberculostatic treatment. Although tuberculous dacryoadenitis is a very rare manifestation of tuberculosis, it is still important to recognise this presentation, especially since the incidence of tuberculosis continues to increase in Western countries. (+info)Late and very late initial probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction: what is the cause of failure? (7/89)
AIMS: To find the cure rate of late (second year of age) and very late (3-5 years of age) initial probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) and to identify the factors contributing to the failure rate of the probing in older children. METHODS: In a prospective interventional case series study, 169 eyes of 125 consecutive patients (1-5 years old) with CNLDO underwent probing under general anaesthesia. Cure was defined as absence of tearing and discharge in the affected eye. RESULTS: 138 eyes of 101 patients aged 13-60 months (mean 23.4 (SD 10.2)) were included. Of 15 eyes (10.8%) with complex CNLDO, 80% presented after 24 months of age (p<0.0001). The cure rate was 89% in patients 13-24 months of age and 72% after the age of 24 months (p = 0.01). It was 90.2% in the membranous and 33.3% in the complex CNLDO in both late and very late probing (p<0.0001). There was a high correlation (r = 0.97) and no significant difference between the cure rate at 1 week and final follow up. CONCLUSION: Accumulation of the complex CNLDO is the main risk factor for failure of probing in the older children. The outcome of the nasolacrimal duct probing at 1 week follow up is highly indicative of the final outcome. (+info)Lacrimal gland involvement in sarcoidosis. The clinical features of 9 patients. (8/89)
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ocular disease is relatively common in sarcoidosis and can be the initial clinical manifestation in some instances. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the clinical and demographic features of 9 (1.74%) patients with lacrimal gland (LG) involvement out of 516 sarcoidosis patients who were followed up at our centre over the preceding 36-years. In addition, the characteristics of patients with LG involvement were compared to those of other cases with eye involvement and to other sarcoidosis patients. RESULTS: In 5 subjects with LG involvement, the chest X-ray was normal. The number of stage 0 subjects among other sarcoidosis patients was significantly lower than among patients with LG involvement (p<0.001). In 2 of these cases, the diagnosis of sarcoidosis was reached by LG biopsy. The mean age of patients with LG involvement was significantly lower than that of other sarcoidosis patients (p<0.001). Also, sarcoidosis-related organ involvement--other than of the LG--was more frequent than in other sarcoidosis patients (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: It should be borne in mind that LG involvement might be the initial manifestation of sarcoidosis and the chest X-ray in these patients might be completely normal. (+info)Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure that creates a new passageway between the tear sac and the nasal cavity to allow for the drainage of tears. This procedure is typically performed to alleviate symptoms associated with blocked or obstructed tear ducts, such as watery eyes, chronic inflammation, or recurrent infections.
During a DCR procedure, an incision is made either externally on the side of the nose or endoscopically through the nasal passage. The surgeon then creates an opening between the tear sac and the nasal cavity, allowing tears to bypass any obstruction and drain directly into the nasal cavity.
There are two main types of DCR procedures: external DCR (EDCR) and endoscopic DCR (ENDCR). The choice of procedure depends on various factors, including the location and severity of the blockage, patient anatomy, and surgeon preference. Both procedures have been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms associated with blocked tear ducts, although ENDCR may result in fewer complications and a quicker recovery time.
The nasolacrimal duct is a medical term that refers to the passageway responsible for draining tears from the eye into the nasal cavity. This narrow tube, which is about 12 millimeters long, begins at the inner corner of the eyelid (near the nose) and ends in the inferior meatus of the nasal cavity, close to the inferior turbinate.
The nasolacrimal duct is part of the nasolacrimal system, which includes the puncta (small openings at the inner corner of the eyelids), canaliculi (tiny channels that connect the puncta to the nasolacrimal sac), and the nasolacrimal sac (a small pouch-like structure located between the eye and the nose).
The primary function of the nasolacrimal duct is to help maintain a healthy ocular surface by draining tears, which contain waste products, debris, and pathogens accumulated on the surface of the eye. The continuous flow of tears through the nasolacrimal duct also helps prevent bacterial growth and potential infections.
In some cases, the nasolacrimal duct can become obstructed due to various factors such as age-related changes, inflammation, or congenital abnormalities. This condition, known as nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO), may result in watery eyes, discomfort, and an increased risk of eye infections. In severe cases, medical intervention or surgical procedures might be necessary to restore proper tear drainage.
Lacrimal duct obstruction is a blockage in the lacrimal duct, which is the passageway that drains tears from the eye into the nose. This condition can cause excessive tearing, pain, and swelling in the affected eye. In some cases, it may also lead to recurrent eye infections or inflammation. The obstruction can be caused by various factors such as age-related changes, injury, infection, inflammation, or congenital abnormalities. Treatment options for lacrimal duct obstruction depend on the underlying cause and severity of the condition and may include medications, minor surgical procedures, or more invasive surgeries.
Lacrimal apparatus diseases refer to conditions that affect the structure and function of the lacrimal system, which is responsible for producing, storing, and draining tears. The lacrimal apparatus includes the lacrimal glands, lacrimal canaliculi, lacrimal sac, and nasolacrimal duct.
Diseases of the lacrimal apparatus can cause a range of symptoms, including watery eyes, redness, pain, swelling, and discharge. Some common conditions that affect the lacrimal apparatus include:
1. Dry eye syndrome: A condition in which the lacrimal glands do not produce enough tears or the tears are of poor quality, leading to dryness, irritation, and inflammation of the eyes.
2. Dacryocystitis: An infection of the lacrimal sac that can cause pain, swelling, redness, and discharge from the eye.
3. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction: A blockage in the nasolacrimal duct that can cause watery eyes, discharge, and recurrent infections.
4. Epiphora: Excessive tearing or watering of the eyes due to overflow of tears from the eye because of blocked tear ducts or increased production of tears.
5. Canaliculitis: An infection of the lacrimal canaliculi that can cause swelling, redness, and discharge from the eye.
6. Lacrimal gland tumors: Rare tumors that can affect the lacrimal glands and cause symptoms such as pain, swelling, and protrusion of the eyeball.
Treatment for lacrimal apparatus diseases depends on the specific condition and its severity. Treatment options may include medications, surgery, or a combination of both.
Dacryocystitis is a medical condition that refers to the inflammation of the lacrimal sac, which is a small sac-like structure located in the inner corner of the eye near the nose. The lacrimal sac is responsible for draining tears from the eye into the nasal cavity.
Dacryocystitis can occur as a result of an infection or obstruction in the tear drainage system, leading to the accumulation of tears and other debris in the lacrimal sac. This can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected area, as well as discharge from the eye or nose.
In some cases, dacryocystitis may be treated with antibiotics to clear up any infection. In more severe cases, surgery may be required to remove any blockages and improve tear drainage. If left untreated, dacryocystitis can lead to complications such as the formation of an abscess or damage to the eye.
"Calculi" is a medical term that refers to abnormal concretions or hard masses formed within the body, usually in hollow organs or cavities. These masses are typically composed of minerals such as calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, or magnesium ammonium phosphate, and can vary in size from tiny granules to large stones. The plural form of the Latin word "calculus" (meaning "pebble"), calculi are commonly known as "stones." They can occur in various locations within the body, including the kidneys, gallbladder, urinary bladder, and prostate gland. The presence of calculi can cause a range of symptoms, such as pain, obstruction, infection, or inflammation, depending on their size, location, and composition.
A fistula is an abnormal connection or passage between two organs, vessels, or body parts that usually do not connect. It can form as a result of injury, infection, surgery, or disease. A fistula can occur anywhere in the body but commonly forms in the digestive system, genital area, or urinary system. The symptoms and treatment options for a fistula depend on its location and underlying cause.
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that involves the use of an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a light and camera at the end, to examine the interior of a body cavity or organ. The endoscope is inserted through a natural opening in the body, such as the mouth or anus, or through a small incision. The images captured by the camera are transmitted to a monitor, allowing the physician to visualize the internal structures and detect any abnormalities, such as inflammation, ulcers, or tumors. Endoscopy can also be used for diagnostic purposes, such as taking tissue samples for biopsy, or for therapeutic purposes, such as removing polyps or performing minimally invasive surgeries.
An abscess is a localized collection of pus caused by an infection. It is typically characterized by inflammation, redness, warmth, pain, and swelling in the affected area. Abscesses can form in various parts of the body, including the skin, teeth, lungs, brain, and abdominal organs. They are usually treated with antibiotics to eliminate the infection and may require drainage if they are large or located in a critical area. If left untreated, an abscess can lead to serious complications such as sepsis or organ failure.
