ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To compare the clinical curative effects of meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD)caused by evaporative dry eye by utilizing levofloxacin eye gel and Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment, respectively.<p>METHODS: The 180 cases(360 eyes)with dry eye(evaporative type)caused by confirmed meibomian gland dysfunction were randomly divided into two groups(<i>i.e.</i> A and B): In group A, 90 individuals with 180 eyes were treated with levofloxacin eye gel+ sodium hyaluronate eye solution; The other 90 cases in group B took Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment+ sodium hyaluronate eye drops for curing the MGD. In addition, the same comprehensive therapy were used to the MGD patients in groups A and B, after surface anesthesia on binoculus, secretion, obstructing meibomian gland secretions, were discharged by utilizing cotton stick to extrusion mass weekly and four times consecutive treatments were regard as a course of treatment. To remove residual the thin oil soften lipid in meibomian gland, heat can be applied to the eyelids with hot water(around 45℃)on towel for 15min and do that three times a day. After each hot compress, we use levofloxacin eye gel to the patients in group A by dropping into the conjunctival sac and apply to the root of the eyelid lashes. The group B of 90 patients were applied Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment to the root of the eyelid lashes. All patients were dripped odium eye drops eye into their eyes four times a day. <p>RESULTS: After treatment(<i>Z</i>= -0.64, <i>P</i>=0.524), there were no significant differences in clinical symptoms(<i>Z</i>= -1.37, <i>P</i>=0.171), secretion characteristics(<i>Z</i>= -1.06, <i>P</i>=0.288), tear film rupture time and tear secretion time between groups A and B(<i>P</i>>0.05). Corneal fluorescence staining score: group A(cured 83.3%, improved 11.1%, ineffective 5.6%)and group B(cured 55.6%, improved 27.8%, ineffective 16.7%). The therapeutic effect of group A was better than that of group B, with statistical significance(<i>Z</i>= -4.02, <i>P</i><0.001).<p>CONCLUSION: Physical therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction caused by evaporative dry eye is given priority, and medication is treated as adjunctive therapy. Generally, the patients can achieve totally anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, safe and stable, without side effects by using levofloxacin eye gel. However, the patients with worst condition and lingering illness should cured by Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment. In addition, statistical significant difference is not found between the two drugs on curative effects.
ABSTRACT
AlM: To explore the different ages of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in infants, take different treatment methods at different times. METHODS:The 87 cases of 102 children were divided into three different age groups: the first group of 25d-3mo of age 21 cases 26 eyes; The second group >3mo-7mo 31 cases 36 eyes;The third group >7-24mo of age 35 cases 40 eyes. For the first group of infants, the implementation of the lacrimal sac nasolacrimal duct massage + eye drops; for the second group of infants, carry lacrimal pressure washing treatment; for the third group of infants, the implementation of the nasolacrimal duct probing treatment. RESULTS: The first group of children through the nasolacrimal duct sac massage + drops tobramycin eye drops treatment unobstructed 12, the cure rate was 46. 2%;The second group of children through pressurized irrigation treatment lacrimal patency by 33, the cure rate was 91. 7%; The third group of children through the nasolacrimal duct probing unobstructed 36 treatment, the cure rate was 90. 0%. The second and third group were better than the first group (χ2=15. 71, P0. 05). CONCLUSlON:lnfants with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction should distinguish between ages, taking different treatments, in order to obtain a better therapeutic effect, and lacrimal pressure washing is the preferred way of treating infants with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
