Published: June 1997

A total of 800 cases of ocular injuries were studied during the period from January, 1982 to December, 1985 at the department of eye, North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, Darjeeling. Major ocular injuries (n = 248) required hospitalisation. The rest 552 cases had minor injuries and treated at outpatients' department. The incidence of age, sex, mode of injury, interval between injury and first observation, structural damage were studied in all these cases.

Characterization and Role of Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor in the Lacrimal Gland: Novel Insights into Diabetic Dry Eye Pathogenesis.

Am J Pathol

Department of Ophthalmology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, 510080, China. Electronic address:

This study aimed to investigate the expression of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) in the lacrimal gland and explore the effects of topical application of GLP-1R agonist (GLP-1RA) on lacrimal gland function in a murine model of type 1 diabetes. Tear secretion was evaluated using phenol red threads, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to explore gene expression profiles associated with hyperglycemia-induced lacrimal gland injuries, and histological analysis was conducted to evaluate the degree of damage. The expression of GLP-1R in the lacrimal gland was first identified and a downregulation trend associated with diabetes was observed.

Background: Retinoblastoma (Rb), the primary intraocular malignancy in children, poses significant risks, yet its overall burden remains inadequately assessed. This study aims to analyze global Rb trends using Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors study (GBD) 2021 data.

Methods: GBD 2021 data was analyzed to assess Rb incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2021.

Purpose: Corneal pain is one of the most common eye symptoms caused by various types of epithelial injuries, including traumatic abrasion, chemical injury, ulcers, ultraviolet exposure, and infection. However, current therapeutic options for corneal pain are limited. In this study, we synthesized a novel quaternary ammonium compound, N-propylamiodarone bromide (NPA), and employed a rodent model of corneal injury to investigate whether NPA offers prolonged corneal analgesia through transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel-mediated selective cellular entry, without hindering corneal epithelial recovery.
