Purpose: Exposure to airborne particulate matter can induce ocular surface damage and
inflammation. We evaluated the effects of a topical mucin secretagogue on the mitigation of …

Purpose: A topical mucolytic agent, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), has been used to create an
animal model without the intestinal mucus layer. In this study, we investigated the effects of …

This paper aims to make recommendations for the management of eye health related to fine
dust exposure. Fine dust is one of the biggest problems related to air pollution in Korea and …

Purpose: To investigate changes in the corneal surface, tear film, and meibomian glands
after meibomian gland orifice closure. Methods: Seventy-two eyes of 36 rabbits were used …

Purpose: Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) as a hot therapeutic target for oxidative stress–associated
diseases that has been extensively studied. This study aimed to determine the changes in …

Purpose: To assess the amoebicidal effect of titanium dioxide (TiO 2)/UV-A combination
against Acanthamoeba sp trophozoites and cysts. Methods: The amoebicidal effect of the …

Talc/TiO2 composite particle was prepared with TiO2 coating on the surfaces of the talc
particles by mechano-chemical method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron …

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between chemotherapy-induced lacrimal drainage
(LD) obstruction and obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction. Methods: Twenty patients …

Background Depending on their distinct properties, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2-
NPs) are manufactured extensively and widely present in our daily necessities, with growing …

We evaluate the difference in vulnerability to desiccating stress (DS) between the corneal
and conjunctival epithelia to understand different ocular surface staining patterns in dry eye …
