Abstract:
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) has become one of the main factors of global blindness.Worldwide,there are about 282 million patients with diabetes.The pathogenesis of DR is complex and several vascular,inflammatory,and neuronal mechanisms are involved.In recent years,the study has found that inflammatory factors such as leukocyte infiltration,the expression of adhesion molecules and many inflammatory factors are closely related with the occurrence and development of DR;many anti-inflammatory drugs can inhibit leukocyte accumulation,reduce the inflammation factor expression,and prevent or slow the occurrence and development of DR.Therefore,in order to explore new treatment to delay the occurrence of DR,we should better understand the DR pathogenesis.
