Analysis of the Treatment of Lacrimal Duct Occlusion with Laser-assisted Dacryocystoplasty and Ofloxacin Salve
Chinese Journal of Trauma and Disability Medicine, 2006Co-Authors: Li Rui-shAbstract:Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of the treatment of Lacrimal Duct Occlusion with laser-assisted dacryocystoplasty and ofloxacin salve. Methods: Laser-assisted dacryocystoplasty using Nd:YAG laser and injection with ofloxacin salve or physiological saline were performed on 120 eyes with Lacrimal Duct Occlusion. Mean follow-up time was 6 months. Results: The success rate of group of ofloxacin salve was 93.9% and significantly higher than that of physiological saline(P0.01). Conclution: The treatment of Lacrimal Duct Occlusion with laser-assisted dacryocystoplasty and ofloxacin salve is an effective and safe therapy in Lacrimal Duct occlution.

Analysis of different types of Lacrimal Duct Occlusion with laser-assisted dacryocystoplasty
Chongqing Medical Journal, 2004Co-Authors: Liu LanAbstract:Objective To discuss the efficacy of different types of Lacrimal Duct occulsion with laser assisted dacryocystoplasty.Method The cure rates of nasoLacrimal Duct Occlusion,superior Lacrimal Duct occulsion,multi spot Lacrimal Duct occulsion were compared.Results The cure rate of nasoLacrimal Duct Occlusion was significantly higher than other group ( P 0.05),the efficacy of simple Lacrimal Duct Occlusion was more superior than chronic dacryocystitis group.Conclusion Laser assisted dacryocystoplasty is effective and safe therapy in Lacrimal Duct Occlusion.

a clinical analysis of Lacrimal Duct Occlusion with nd yag laser assisted dacryocystoplasty
Chinese Journal of Ocular Trauma and Occupational Eye Disease, 2005Co-Authors: Wei ZhichenAbstract:Objective To discuss the efficacy of different methods of curing Lacrimal Duct occulusion with laser assisted dacryocytoplasty. Method A retrospective study was made from 1991 to 2000.a total of 189 patients (208 eyes) were treated with Lacrimal plastic operation with Nd:YAG laser and the therapeutic effects were compared between two groups. Result Among 189 patients(208 eyes),101 patients (110 eyes)were treated by laser assisted dacryocytoplasty and insertion of silicone tube,79 eyes were symptom-free,7 eyes were turn for the better,the effective rate was 78.18%; 88 patients (98 eyes) were treated by laser assisted dacryocytoplasty and irrigation with medicine,67 eyes were symptom-free,9 eyes were turn for the better,the effective rate was 77.55%.There was no obvious difference between the two groups (P0.05). Conclusion The results revealed that the method of laser assisted dacryocystoplasty is effective and safe in Lacrimal Duct Occlusion.

Lacrimal Duct Occlusion for the treatment of dry eye.
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2005Co-Authors: Takashi HamanoAbstract:The most widespread treatment for dry eyes in clinical practice is an instillation containing artificial tear fluid. When an instillation does not ameliorate dry eye, we use punctal plugs. The insertion of punctal plugs is an eminent curative that positively improves the corneal and conjunctival ep- ithelial disorders and the amount of Lacrimal fluid accumulated in the con- junctival sac. We shall introduce the Lacrimal Duct Occlusion utilizing atelo- collagen solutions, which solves many of the issues induced by conventional methods.

application of atelocollagen solution for Lacrimal Duct Occlusion
Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 2002Co-Authors: Jun Onodera, Takashi Hamano, Akihiko Saito, Joseph Georgetom Iwasaki, Hiroshi Ito, Yu Aso, Atushi Kanai, Teruo Miyata, Yutaka NagaiAbstract:Dry eye is a condition of dry, irritated, burning or gritty feeling in the eyes. It is mainly caused by ocular surface diseases, immunomodulation or injuries that affect tear secretion or composition.The diagnosis and treatment of dry eyes have improved dramatically during recent years. Application of artificial tears is usually carried out as a method of treatment, but it requires frequent application and provides only temporary effect. In addition, it leads to epithelial cell toxicity, changes in epithelial membrane permeability and increased chances of eye infections. Punctal Occlusion prevents the discharge of natural tears from the Lacrimal punctum. Punctal Occlusion prolongs the duration of tears on the ocular surface of the eye and improves the symptoms of dye eye significantly. The conventional method of punctal Occlusion is the application of solid-type punctal plugs such as collagen-rod, silicone or plastic plugs. Such plugs often cause an unpleasant foreign-body sensation, corneal epithelial cell damage, granulation and accidental dropout.To overcome such problems, we developed 3% atelocollagen solution, which

a case of Lacrimal Duct Occlusion in a cat impact of a canine tooth necrosis on the Lacrimal flow
Pratique meÌdicale & chirurgicale de l'animal de compagnie, 2012Co-Authors: A S Augsburger, E Decouvelaere, T HericherAbstract:PURPOSE: To describe a clinical case of Lacrimal Duct Occlusion with chronical dacryocystitis in a 7-year-old cat as a consequence of an untreated pulpitis of a canine tooth. METHODS: The animal was presented for unilateral epiphora with irregular purulent discharge since 4Â years, reluctant to local and general antibiotics. The ophthalmologic exam revealed a Lacrimal Duct Occlusion with moderate conjunctivitis and blepharitis secondary to the discharge. Prevotella sp. was identified. A broken ipsilateral superior canine tooth with pulpar necrosis was noted during the oral exam without any associated stomatitis. Magnetic resonance imagery was performed. RESULTS: Magnetic revealed abnormal Lacrimal Duct with a focal dilatation at the level of the 106 and 107 teeth. DISCUSSION: Hypothesis of a dental inflammation of the premolar teeth creating a focal Lacrimal abscess was considered, as was a congenital dilatation of the Lacrimal Duct. Hypothesis of a chronic dacryocystitis with a focal abscess with a common oral pathogen, secondary to a pulpitis of the broken tooth was proposed. Surgical curetting with extraction of the canine tooth and dacryorhinostomy were refused by the owner. Catheterisation of the Lacrimal Duct and high pressure antibiotics irrigation allowed evacuation of the fluids through an unconventional channel without nostril evacuation. This process has likely created a dacryorhinostomy by rupturing the abscess wall at the level of the Lacrimal dilatation. CONCLUSIONS: Lacrimal Duct Occlusion is not frequent in the cat. Trauma and infections are the most common origins. Dental disease warrants consideration in such cases.
