In the present study, we found that β1-adrenoceptor (β1-AR) and β2-AR expression and the phosphorylation of the downstream molecule protein kinase A (PKA) were elevated in transplanted submandibular glands obtained from epiphora patients.
Cases of ARS with overlapping features with other ASD, like aniridia (complete or incomplete absence of iris), iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome (beaten metal appearance of corneal endothelium), Peters anomaly, isolated trabeculodysgenesis (evidenced by Haab's striae, buphthalmos, and epiphora) in one or both eyes with other typical ARS features in the same or other eye were included and screened.

Twenty-two patients who had epiphora and recurrent dacryocystitis after at least a previous failed revision DCR as well as 22 patients receiving conventional EN-DCR only were enrolled in the study between January 2008 and December 2011.
Instillation of MOX-HCl loaded in situ gel did not cause any type of irritation symptoms like redness, inflammation and excessive tear production in rabbits as compared to control.
Taken together, our findings suggest that decreased interaction between ZO-1 and occludin might contribute to the epiphora occurred in the transplanted SMGs, and mAChR together with the intracellular molecule CK2 might be responsible for the alteration of TJs in epiphora glands.
