To report normal tear production of healthy adult black-tufted marmosets and propose a novel alternative for the measurement of the aqueous portion of tear production in animals with small eyes.
Black-tufted marmosets (Callithrix penicillata).
Tear production of 19 animals was evaluated by the following methods: modified Schirmer's I, phenol red thread and the novel use of standardized endodontic absorbent paper points. These methods and results were compared. Additionally, blink frequency and palpebral fissure length were measured.
Modified Schirmer's test I, mean = -0.46 ± 3.41 mm/min; Phenol red thread, mean = 13.27 ± 5.41 mm/15 s.; Standardized endodontic paper points, size 30, mean = 9.32 ± 3.09 mm/min; Mean palpebral fissure length = 7.83 ± 0.72 mm. Blink frequency, mean = 20.27 ± 5.92/5 min.
Normal parameters for blink frequency, palpebral fissure length and tear production measurement are presented. The palpebral fissure of black-tufted marmoset is very small and tear production is one of the lowest reported for all animal species. A novel and practical alternative for tear production measurement using standardized endodontic absorbent paper points is presented and is indicated for animals with small eyes.
报告健康成年黑簇绒狨的正常泪液分泌情况，并提出一种用于测量小眼睛动物泪液分泌水样部分的新方法。
黑簇绒狨（Callithrix penicillata）。
通过以下方法评估19只动物的泪液分泌情况：改良的Schirmer氏I试验、酚红棉线试验以及标准化牙髓用吸水纸尖的新用法。对这些方法和结果进行了比较。此外，还测量了眨眼频率和睑裂长度。
改良的Schirmer氏I试验，平均值 = -0.46 ± 3.41毫米/分钟；酚红棉线试验，平均值 = 13.27 ± 5.41毫米/15秒；标准化牙髓用30号吸水纸尖，平均值 = 9.32 ± 3.09毫米/分钟；平均睑裂长度 = 7.83 ± 0.72毫米。眨眼频率，平均值 = 20.27 ± 5.92次/5分钟。
给出了眨眼频率、睑裂长度和泪液分泌测量的正常参数。黑簇绒狨的睑裂非常小，其泪液分泌量是所有动物物种中报道的最低水平之一。提出了一种使用标准化牙髓用吸水纸尖测量泪液分泌的新颖实用方法，适用于小眼睛动物。
