RESUMO

PURPOSE: The current study used various techniques to develop a rabbit animal model of lacrimal gland damage caused by scarring conjunctivitis in the periglandular area. METHODS: Left eyes of New Zealand white rabbits were injected with 0.1 ml of 1M NaOH subconjunctivally around superior and inferior lacrimal gland orifices (Group 1, n = 4), touched with 1M NaOH for 100 s to the superior and inferior fornices with conjunctival denuding (Group 2; n = 4), and electrocauterization to the ductal opening area (Group 3; n = 4). The ocular surface staining, Schirmer I, lacrimal gland, and conjunctival changes were observed at baseline,1, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The degree of glandular inflammation, conjunctival fibrosis (Masson Trichrome), and goblet cell density (PAS) were also assessed. RESULTS: At 12 weeks, the lacrimal glands of group 1 rabbits with periglandular injection showed severe inflammation with mean four foci/10HPF and a significant mean reduction in the Schirmer values by 7.6 mm (P = 0.007). Lacrimal glands had diffuse acinar atrophy, loss of myoepithelial cells, and ductular dilatation. The overlying conjunctiva showed fibrosis, goblet cell loss, and corneal vascularization in the inferotemporal quadrant. No lacrimal gland or ocular surface changes were observed in groups 2 and 3 at 12 weeks, except for localized subconjunctival fibrosis. CONCLUSION: Periglandular injection of 0.1 ml of 1M NaOH induced extensive lacrimal gland damage with reduced secretion and scarring in the subconjunctival plane compared to direct cauterization or direct NaOH contact to the ductal orifices of the rabbit lacrimal gland.
