According to the application of a
reagent for detecting the biomarker in preparation of a
xerophthalmia diagnosis and
typing detection
reagent, the
galectin-9 plays an important role in the occurrence and development process of the
xerophthalmia, the expression level of the
galectin-9 has a certain correlation with the severity of the
xerophthalmia, and the
galectin-9 is expected to be used as the biomarker for diagnosis and treatment of the xerophthalmia and can be used for preparing the xerophthalmia diagnosis and
typing detection
reagent. By detecting the expression condition of
Galectin-9 in
tears, early and accurate diagnosis of the dry eye and quantitative evaluation of the
disease degree are achieved, in addition,
Galectin-9 expressed on T cells plays an important role in
immune inflammation of the dry eye,
ocular surface damage of the dry eye can be relieved by locally intervening
Galectin-9 through
conjunctiva, and Galectin-9 serves as a novel potential target and has a good application prospect. A new way is opened up for diagnosis and treatment of xerophthalmia, a therapeutic
drug or an intervention means developed for Galectin-9 can regulate immune response, inhibit
inflammatory response, improve
tear secretion and the like from the etiological level, and an existing xerophthalmia treatment mode is expected to be changed, so that the
treatment effect is improved, the prognosis of a patient is improved, and the clinical application prospect is broad. The application prospect in the field of diagnosis and treatment of the xerophthalmia is wide, and a certain significance is achieved for improving the overall prevention and
treatment level of the xerophthalmia.
