Purpose To compare concentrations of tear cytokines in 3 groups composed of Sjögren
syndrome (SS) dry eye, non–Sjögren syndrome (non-SS) dry eye, and normal subjects …

Purpose: To determine the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
in tears of patients with dry eye syndrome. Methods: IL-6 and TNF-α levels were measured …

Purpose: Systemic implications necessitate the identification of dry eye patients with Sjögren
syndrome (SS). This study aims to explore the utility of tear MUC5AC and inflammatory …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to investigate interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in the
tear fluid and sera of patients with Sjögren syndrome (SS). PARTICIPANTS: Twelve patients …

Purpose.: To determine cytokine and chemokine concentrations in the tears of patients with
dry eye disease (DED) and analyze the possible relationships with the clinical severity of …

Purpose To enhance the understanding of dry eye (DE) in diabetes by evaluating the ocular
surface characteristics and the levels of tear inflammatory cytokines. Design Cross-sectional …

Purpose: To investigate the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines in the conjunctival
epithelium and correlations with clinical parameters in dry eye disease (DED). Methods: This …

Methods.: In this prospective study, based on the ocular surface disease index (OSDI) and
corneal staining (CS), 95 DED patients (OSDI≥ 13) with increasing CS were enrolled into 3 …

Background—It is recognized that inflammation is an underlying cause of dry eye disease
(DED), with cytokine release involved. We systematically reviewed literature with meta …

PURPOSE: To compare tear cytokine and chemokine concentrations in asymptomatic
control and Dysfunctional Tear syndrome (DTS) patients and determine the correlations …
