Study on the relationship between E-selectin and proliferative diabetic retinopathy / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between proliferative diabetic retinopathy and E-selectin level .Meth-ods Ninty-two patients with diabetic retinopathy were divided into two groups based on the results of fundus fluorescence angiographybasic diabetic retinopathy (BDR) group, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group.Body mass index (BMI), fasting blood-glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure ( DBP) , and E-selectin levels of two groups were determined and compared .Results Compared with normal control group, the BDR and PDR group soluble E-selectin (sE-sel), FPG, HbA1c levels were increased significantly ( P 0.05).The level of E-sel was positively correlated with HbA 1c and FBG in diabetic retinopathy patients .Conclusions High levels of sE-sel, HbA1c, and FPG were the important risk factors for diabetic retinopathy , and were closely related to the severity of PDR .Detection of serum sE-sel and HbA1c will help to predict the severity and prognosis of diabetic retinopathy .
