Introduction: Controversy exists regarding the treatment of infants with symptomatic nasolacrimal duct obstruction. One philosophy advocates "early" nasolacrimal duct probing, generally in the office - a relatively common approach in France, while others prefer to wait until the age of 12 months to offer a procedure under general anesthesia. The goal of this study is to report results of immediate office probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) under age 1 year in terms of efficacy and cost.

Purpose: Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a reversible post-translational modification that requires the contribution of the enzymes poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). Our study explores expression and activity of PARP-1 and PARG in uveal melanoma cell lines with varying tumorigenic properties.

Methods: Gene profiling on microarrays was conducted using RNA prepared from the uveal melanoma cell lines T97, T98, T108, and T115.
