日本一个研究小组日前报告说，他们在动物实验中发现，作为干燥综合征代表性症状的干眼症与泪腺内细胞变化有关。

    A Japanese research team has reported,They found in animal experiments,As the typical symptoms of dry eyes and tear ducts in sjogren's syndrome associated with changes of cells.

    干燥综合征是一种主要累及外分泌腺体的慢性炎症性自身免疫病，主要症状除了干眼症之外，还有口腔干燥症等。

    Sjogren's syndrome is a major chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease involving the exocrine glands,Main symptoms except dry eyes,还有口腔干燥症, etc..

    日本东北大学研究生院教授牟田达史率领的研究小组说，他们破坏了实验鼠泪腺中遏制细胞死亡的基因后，作为免疫细胞的淋巴细胞就被激活，眼睛周围开始出现慢性炎症，眼泪的分泌量减少，出现了与人类干眼症相似的症状。

    Tohoku university graduate school professor MouTian history led the research team said,They destroyed the rats after stem cell death gene in the lacrimal gland,As immune cells of lymphocytes was activated,Chronic inflammation around the eyes start to appear,Reduce the amount the secretion of tears,The symptoms of dry eyes similar to humans.

    研究小组给这种实验鼠的眼睛投放遏制细胞死亡的药物后，结果泪腺的炎症消退，眼泪的分泌量也开始增加，逐渐痊愈。牟田达史说，实验结果显示遏制细胞死亡的药物对于治疗干眼症有效，这将对治疗发挥重要作用。（新华）

    The team for these mice eyes into the stem cell death after drug,Results the inflammation of the lacrimal gland,Tear secretion also began to increase,heal.MouTian ever said,Experimental results show that the stem cell death of the effective drugs for the treatment of dry eyes,This will play an important role for healing.(xinhua)
