Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of calcium dobesilate plus laser on serum vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) and insulin-like growth factor-1 ( IGF-1 ) in patients with diabetic retinopathy .Methods 82 patients(93 eyes) were randomly divided into two groups ,the control group(n=41 cases,46 eyes) and the obser-vation group(n=41 cases,47 eyes).The control group was treated through laser ,while the observation group was treated through laser plus calcium dobesilate .Serum VEGF and IGF-1 were measured before and after treatment . Results Before treatment,visual acuity had no significant difference between the two groups (t=0.601,P>0.05). After treatment,visual acuity was improved in 30 eyes in the control group with improving rate of 65.2%,visual acuity improved in 38 eyes in the observation group with improving rate of 80.9%.The improving rate of visual acuity in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (χ2 =6.92,P<0.05).The total effective rate of the control group was 73.9%,which was significantly lower than 87.2%in the observation group (χ2 =9.28,P<0.05). Serum VEGF and IGF-1 had no significant differences before and after treatment in the control group ( t=0.613, 0.496,all P>0.05).After treatment,serum VEGF and IGF-1 in the observation group were (91.4 ±25.1)ng/L and (121.6 ±21.7)mg/L,which were significantly lower than those before treatment (t=3.721,5.992,all P<0.05). Conclusion Calcium dobesilate plus laser can significantly decrease serum VEGF and IGF-1 in patients with diabet-ic retinopathy .
