Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (PSS) affects the ocular surface, oral health and has systemic manifestations, including neuropathies, independent of other diseases. The pathophysiological causes and mechanisms are poorly understood. Due to the frequency of SSp in the population and the difficulties in diagnosing and treating refractory cases, information on environmental influences, pathophys…
Corneal diseases are among the leading causes of blindness and the mechanisms of injury and repair are largely concentrated in the epithelium and lacrimal secretion. However, the target mediators for possible therapeutic interventions in modulating repair are unknown. In the corneal epithelium, healing is promoted by insulin and growth factors and mediated by a good trophic and neural str…

Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (SpS) affects the ocular surface, oral health, and has systemic manifestations, including neuropathies. Thus, the hypothesis is that the primary Sjogren's Syndrome produces characteristic neurological manifestations, which would be diagnostic markers and indicators of SS mechanisms. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze such manifestations to understand the SSp …
Topical treatment of ocular surface diseases associated with dryness is still based on the principles of lubrication and anti-inflammation with corticosteroids and cyclosporine, as in cases of Sjogren's Syndrome, whose effectiveness is limited. New pharmacotechnical technologies can overcome the problems of bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Nanoemulsion drug delivery systems can b…
According to the literature, the prevalence of dry eye disease varies considerably depending on the studied population and associated factors. But still there are no epidemiological studies on the prevalence of this disease in the Brazilian and Latin American population. Currently, we use the results of international studies to lead to dry eye disease in our country. So an epidemiological…

Dry eye and dry mouth are consequences of exocrine glands dysfunction. Those conditions may respond with modulation of peroxidase superfamily enzymes expression and action, however the specific role of different peroxidases was never explored. The aim of this study is to identify and distinguish the members of peroxidase superfamily in LG in rats and to evaluate the capacity to interfere …
