Effect of ranibizumab combined with vitrectomy on the serum VEGF-A and SDF-1 expression in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

@#AIM:To discuss the effect of ranibizumab combined with vitrectomy(VT)on the serum vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGF-A)and human stromal cell derived factor 1(SDF-1)expression in patients with PDR.<p>METHODS: Totally 120 patients with PDR were selected from January 2017 to January 2018 in our hospital, according to the random digital table, they were divided into group A and group B, 60 cases in each group, group A was given VT treatment, group B was given ranibizumab vitreous injection treatment on this basis, the VT operation, complication and VEGF-A, SDF-1, BCVA, CMT were compared between the two groups.<p>RESULTS: The postoperative serum VEGF-A and SDF-1 levels in the two groups were significantly lower than those in the preoperative, and the group B was significantly lower than group A(<i>P</i><0.05). The VT operation time, electrocoagulation, intraoperative bleeding and complication rate in the group B were significantly lower than those in the group A(<i>P</i><0.05). The 1d, 3mo postoperative BCVA, CMT in the two groups were significantly lower than those in the preoperative, and the group B was significantly lower than the group A(<i>P</i><0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: ranibizumab combined with VT can effectively improve the serum VEGF-A and SDF-1 levels in patients with PDR, it can reduce the trauma and complications of VT, and improve the BCVA and CMT in patient.
