Research progress on combined therapy of traditional Chinese medicine with laser photocoagulation for treatment of diabetic retinopathy

Guoji Yanke Zazhi, Jul 2015

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is the most severe complication of diabetic eye disease, which can eventually lead to irreversible blindness, thus seriously impacting on patients' quality of life. At present, surgical operation has been widely carried out on the treatment of DR in China. For the pre proliferative DR(PDR)and PDR, panretinal photocoagulation has often been adopted. By damaging the retina in ischemic area so as to reduce oxygen demand, the neovascularization can be prevented and the patient's condition can be stopped from getting worse. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has an abundant and personalized therapeutic regimen for the treatment of DR. This paper reviews the research progress on combined therapy of TCM with laser photocoagulation for treatment of DR.

DR is the result ofhyperglycemia induced microvascular retinal changes. The capillary pericyte necrosis and thinning of the endothelial cells lead to incompetence of the inner barriers. These damages make the retinal blood vessels become more permeable, allowing effusion of fluid into the surrounding tissue, causing retinal pathological changes and dysfunction. With the rising number of diabetic patients and prolonging of human蒺s life span, DR, which rates are also on the rise, has become the most common cause of blindness in the elderly. Therefore, the prevention of the occurrence and development of DR is particularly important. The advantage of the combined therapy of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) with laser photocoagulation in the treatment of DR is ceaselessly highlighted, which has become an important part in the prevention and treatment of DR. Here follows the research results of the recent 5y. THEORETICAL RESEARCH The Mechanism of Laser on Diabetic Retinopathy 摇 The mechanism of panretinal photocoagulation on DR: it is now widely accepted that [1] the mechanism of panretinal photocoagulation is laser destroyed part of the photoreceptor pigment epithelial complex whose oxygen consumption is high, which reduces oxygen demand. At the same time it increased oxygen supply of the inner retina from choroidal capillary and reduce the synthesis of angiogenesis growth factor because of ischemia. Thus, laser prevents the formation of new blood vessels and promotes the extinction of angiogenesis that has been formed. Finally, Laser delays the progress of proliferative DR ( PDR ) . Binz et al [2] think that laser treatment can inhibit the neovascularization and has long-term effect. It is because laser treatment changes genes expression in retinal which is closely related to angiogenesis. After retinal pigment epithelium ( RPE) absorbing laser energy, the temperature of local tissue rises and the protein comes to be degenerative, thus can effectively reduce the metabolism and the oxygen consumption of retinal, as well as reduce the factor of promoting neovascularization [3] . At the same time, those lead to the thinning of retinal and the reduction of the barrier function between choroid and retinal [4] . Mechanism of local / grid laser treatment for diabetic macular edema ( DME) : the mechanism of laser treatment inducing DME mainly relates to laser damaged the oxygen consumption of retina photoreceptor [5] . Stef伽nsson [6] , Wolbarsht and Landers [7] find that the oxygen partial pressure of preretinal increases and retinal capillaries decrease in laser photocoagulation area. Oxygen content in treated retinal region is higher than untreated. It prompts that laser treatment makes the leakage area of abnormal vascular and the exudates from intravascular liquid to the inter organizational greatly reduced. Then macular edema ( ME ) eliminated. It is peripheral retinal scarring that reduces the oxygen consumption and conducive to the improvement of hypoxia in the macular area [8] . Proliferation of pigment epithelium cells recover with light solidification zone and release anti vascular growth factor after http: / / ies. ijo. cn Email:IJO. 2000@163. com (...truncated)
