To evaluate whether alterations in plasma vitamin A and E levels in patients with psoriasis have an effect on tear film changes.
Sixty-two eyes of 31 patients with psoriasis vulgaris (Group A) and 74 eyes of 37 age- and gender-matched control subjects (Group B) were included in the study. Ocular and medical histories and dietary habits were obtained from each patient. The tear film break-up time (TBUT), the Schirmer 1 test results and plasma vitamin A and E levels were evaluated.
The mean Schirmer 1 test score was 14.76 ± 6.12 mm/5 min in Group A and 15.69 ± 3.10 mm/5 min in Group B. The mean plasma levels of vitamins A and E in Groups A and B were 1.86 ± 0.62 µmol/L and 1.88 ± 0.65 µmol/L vs. 26.21 ± 5.13 µmol/L and 27.19 ± 8.89 µmol/L, respectively. The Schirmer 1 test results and plasma vitamin A and E levels were not found to be significantly different between the groups (p > 0.05). The mean TBUT was 9.94 ± 6.18 seconds in Group A and 14.47 ± 5.65 seconds in Group B, a significant difference (p < 0.05). No correlation existed between plasma vitamin A and E levels, TBUT or the severity and duration of the disease (p > 0.05).
Plasma vitamin A and E levels do not seem to be related to tear film changes in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
评估银屑病患者血浆维生素A和E水平的改变是否对泪膜变化有影响。
本研究纳入了31例寻常型银屑病患者的62只眼(A组)和37例年龄及性别匹配的对照者的74只眼(B组)。获取每位患者的眼部和病史以及饮食习惯。评估泪膜破裂时间(TBUT)、Schirmer 1试验结果以及血浆维生素A和E水平。
A组Schirmer 1试验平均评分为14.76±6.12 mm/5分钟,B组为15.69±3.10 mm/5分钟。A组和B组维生素A和E的平均血浆水平分别为1.86±0.62 μmol/L和1.88±0.65 μmol/L,以及26.21±5.13 μmol/L和27.19±8.89 μmol/L。两组间Schirmer 1试验结果以及血浆维生素A和E水平无显著差异(p>0.05)。A组平均TBUT为9.94±6.18秒,B组为14.47±5.65秒,差异有统计学意义(p<0.05)。血浆维生素A和E水平、TBUT与疾病的严重程度和病程之间无相关性(p>0.05)。
血浆维生素A和E水平似乎与寻常型银屑病患者的泪膜变化无关。
