Effects of Xuesaitong on the Retinal Microcirculation of Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy / 现代生物医学进展

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of xuesaitong on the retinal microcirculation of patients with diabetic mtinopathy (DR).Methods:Ninety-five patients with DR admitted in our hospital were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group.Forty-eight patients in the control group were treated with conventional hypoglycemic agent,and those in the observation group were treated with xuesaitong.The retinal microcirculation indexes including EDV,PSV,RI,Vmax,Vmin,MV,hemorheology indexes including NBL,NBH,DE,Hct,AE,ESR,and clinical efficacy in both groups were observed and compared.Results:After treatment,the clinical efficacy of observation group was 87.8％,which was much higher than that of the control group (61.4％,P＜0.05).The EDV,Vmax,and Vmin of control group were significantly improved than those before treatment (P＜0.05),and EDV and PSV were much higher than those of control group,the RI,Vmax,Vmin,and MV were much lower (P＜0.05).Additionally,the NBL and NBH in control group were much lower compared with those before treatment,while NBL,NBH,DE,Hct,AE,and ESR in control group were improved than those in control group,which were much improved that those of control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Xuesaitong combined with conventional hypoglycemic therapy was effective in treating patients with diabetic retinopathy,which could significantly improved the retinal microcirculation and hemorheology.
