After completing an ocular surface disease index （OSDI） questionnaire, the non-invasive tear film break-up time （NI-BUT） and the structure of the meibomian glands （MGs, meibography） were assessed by the Keratograph 5M system. Partial or complete loss of MG was scored for each eyelid from grade 0 （no loss） to grade 3 （lost area was 〉2/3 of the total MG area）, which were also examined by laser scanning confocal microscopy （LSCM）. The primary outcomes were meibomian gland acinar unit density （MGAUD）, meibomian gland acinar longest diameter （MGALD） and meibomian gland acinar shortest diameter （MGASD）.RESULTS： Compared with control group, the OSDI was significantly higher in DM group （Z=-5.916; P〈0.001）, while the NI-BUT was significantly lower （Z=-7.765; P〈0.001）. Keratograph showed that there were more MGs dropout in DM group than that in control group. The meiboscore was significantly higher in DM group compared with control group （Z=-3.937; P〈0.001）. LSCM revealed that there were cytological alterations of MGs in DM group compared with control group, which included enlargement of MG acinar units and decreased in density of MG acinar units. Specifically, there were lower MGAUD, larger MGALD and MGASD in DM group than control group （Z=-10.120, -9.4442, -7.771; P〈0.001）.CONCLUSION： Compared with the normal control participants, the patients with type 2 DM had more unstable tear films and severe symptoms of dry eye. Using Keratograph 5M system and LSCM, we found that the patients with type 2 DM had more significant morphological and cytological changes and dysfunction in MGs.展开更多

All patients underwent the examination of the Keratograph 5 M system to obtain the meibography which were used to evaluate the structure dropout of the MGs. And then laser scanning confocal microscopy(LSCM) was performed for observing the acinar cells and ducts of the MGs to obtain the following parameters: the MG acinar unit density(MGAUD), MG acinar longest diameter(MGALD) and MG acinar shortest diameter(MGASD). The examination results of the right eye were selected for analysis.RESULTS: Compared with that in NDM group, the meiboscore was significantly higher(Z=-4.057, P<0.001), and there were more MGs dropout in DM group. With the prolongation of the course of diabetes, the absence of MGs aggravated and the MGs dropout score increased(r=0.596;P<0.001). LSCM showed that there were various cytological alterations in acinar cells of MGs with the progress of diabetes duration, such as expansion, atrophy or fibrosis of MG acinar units, decreased density of MG acinar units, deposition of lipid substances, infiltration of inflammatory cells, proliferation of fibrous tissues, etc. And the opening of the glandular duct changed from smooth at the beginning to narrow, blocked, fibrotic and so on. Compared with that in NDM group, the MGAUD in DM group was significantly lower(Z=-9.713;P<0.001), the MGALD and MGASD were significantly larger(Z=-9.751,-6.416;P<0.001). With the duration of diabetes, the MGAUD reduced, the MGASD increased(r=0.860, 0.364, P<0.001);but the MGALD had no correlation with diabetic duration(r=0.133, P=0.151).CONCLUSION: With the progress of diabetes, the meibomian glandular acinar cells of diabetic patients show various manifestations.
