keratoconjunctivitis/スコポラミン

OBJECTIVE Increased apoptosis in the conjunctival epithelium has been observed in experimental murine keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Topical cyclosporine (CsA) has been noted to reduce conjunctival epithelial apoptosis in chronic canine and human KCS. The purpose of this study is to determine if

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of pharmacologic inhibition of aqueous tear production and desiccating environmental stress on aqueous tear production, tear clearance, corneal epithelial permeability, and conjunctival epithelial morphology, proliferation, and conjunctival goblet cell

The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is prone to develop autoimmune disease, including Sjögren's syndrome. The purpose of this study was to determine if desiccating environmental stress exacerbates the development of Sjögren's syndrome-like lacrimal keratoconjunctivitis in the NOD.B10.H2(b) mouse.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the epithelial stem cell proliferation kinetics in a rat model with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). METHODS Wistar rats received a daily injection of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) at a dose of 5 mg/100 g of body weight for 2 weeks. Dry eye was

UNASSIGNED To determine the efficacy of trabodenoson, an adenosine mimetic with highly selective adenosine A1 receptor binding properties, in a preclinical mouse model for dry-eye disease. UNASSIGNED Dry-eye disease was induced in adult male C57BL/6 mice using a combination of desiccating

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.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate to effect of experimental dry eye on ocular surface apoptosis. METHODS Aqueous tear production and clearance were inhibited by systemic administration of scopolamine and exposure to an air draft for 12 days in 4- to 6-week-old 129SvEv/CD-1 mixed white mice. Eyes and ocular
