... phlebitis, and mat or whorled fibrosis. The disease can affect multiple ocular tissues and organs, such as the lacrimal gland, extraocular muscles, orbital fat, and trigeminal nerve. The main clinical manifestations are chronic, painless swelling of the orbit or unilateral orbit and proptosis, which may...

... the highest specific activities of acid phosphatase, N-acetyl-β- D -glucosaminidase, and α- L -fucosidase. The lacrimal gland showed moderately high specific activities of acid phosphatase and N-acetyl-β- D -glucosaminidase. The optic nerve, brain, ciliary body plus iris, and retina plus choroid exhibited...

... epithelium is more important in unstimulated tears than in stimulated tears. In stimulated tears the tissue plasminogen activator activity orginates mainly from the lacrimal gland. It is suggested that a constant concentration of plasminogen activator is released from the lacrimal gland...

...Myron Yanoff; Ralph Nix; Dean Arvan A patient with PAS-positive intranuclear plasma cell inclusions in the lacrimal gland is reported. Immunoelectrophoresis showed a diffuse elevation of the IgG and IgA fractions but a normal IgM fraction. No abnormal proteins (M-components) were found...

Bron; Lionel Bretillon; Niyazi Acar The purpose of this study was to compare the susceptibility of the retina and the exorbital lacrimal gland to dietary supplies of long-chain omega-3 (ω3...

...Chuanqing Ding; Lawrence Rife; Tamako Nakamura; Yu-Wen Wang; Kimberly Kopp; Joel E. Schechter Aim: To develop a local approach to study rabbit lacrimal secretion in situ by administering specific secretagogues directly onto the lacrimal gland (LG). Methods: After the rabbit has been anesthetized...

... histological changes and functional effects in the transfer glands. Method: Thirty male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups. In each animal of the three groups, the right eye was the control eye and the left eye the experimental eye. Surgical removal of the extraorbital lacrimal gland from...

...S.G. Hakim; G. Geerling; I. Lauer; P. Sieg The aim of this study was to establish an experimental model to evaluate functional changes in lacrimal gland parenchyma using gamma scintigraphy. Although the lacrimal glands of the rabbit have frequently been used for ophthalmological research...

...ZeynelA. Karcioglu; WaelS. Ahmed; Dale Raines; Adnan El-Yazigi Purpose and Background: To measure azithromycin levels in rabbit lacrimal and Harder glands, conjunctiva and plasma after a single oral dose of 20 mg/kg. Drug levels in lacrimal gland tissue are significant in trachoma because the gland...

... levels in the epithelial component of the primary BMT and in both components of the recurrent MT. These results might reveal a prominent sialylation in the recurrent MT. Lacrimal gland Benign mixed tumor Sialic acid Griffonia simplicifolia II agglutinin Neuraminidase treatment Lectin...
