[Use of a new Indis computer program to analyze the results of lacrimal scintigraphy].

Objective: To study the diagnostic importance of a new Indis software package for the postprocessing of the results of radionuclude examinations (Center for Information and Diagnostic Systems, St. Petersburg, Russia) when analyzing the results of lacrimal scintigraphy.

Material And Methods: Dynamic lacrimal scintigraphy was carried out in 6 volunteers (12 eyes) and 20 patients (32 years) with dacryostenosis.

[Comparative analysis of the potentiative effect of noradrenaline on the neurogenic vasoconstriction diminished by various factors].

The effect of 0.03-1.0 μM noradrenaline on the neurogenic response to electrical field stimulation of the juvenile rat tail artery segment in control conditions, after cooling from 36 to 25 degrees C, and after solution pH decrease from 7.

[Minimally invasive surgery for dacryostenosis: modern trends].

The article presents the results of a monocentric randomized open prospective study conducted from 2008 to 2013. Lacrimal intubation with Mini-Monoka and Monoka silicone stents (mono- or bicanalicular) or with SRS and Ritleng ("FCI", France) stents for dacryostenosis of different localization was performed in 151 patients (203 eyes). The follow-up period was 12 months after the extubation.

[Single-photon emission computed tomography in combination with X-ray computed tomography in the study of lacrimal passages. First results].

Objective: To explore the capabilities of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in combination with x-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in the study of the anatomy and drainage function of lacrimal passages.

Material And Methods: Twelve scans were carried out in 6 healthy volunteers and in patients with different lacrimal drainage disorders (dacryostenoses, varying obstructive lacrimal passage, dacryocystitis and post-dacryocystorhinostomy). Sodium pertechnetate (99mTc) solution and a radiocontrast agent were instilled into the conjunctival sac during the study.

[Five-year application experience of cytological method in dacryological practice].

The article presents the results of a long-term study on application of cytological examination in dacryology. A total of 194 patients (288 eyes) with dacryostenosis, dacryocystitis, and obliteration of lacrimal canaliculi orifices were assessed. Pathogenically oriented conservative treatment, in accordance with the results of clinical, instrumental, and cytological examination, was given to all patients with dacryostenosis.
