Abstract:

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore the effect of Qiming granule on retinal microcirculation in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods

From October 2016 to May 2017, 16 eligible patients (31 eyes) with non-proliferative DR from the Department of Ophthalmology affiliated to Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were investigated. Among of them, including 12 male cases (23 eyes) and 4 female cases (8 eyes) with the average age (62.5±8.3) years-old. To observe and record the changes in visual acuity, fundus hemorrhage area, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), retinal blood oxygen saturation and vessel diameter, and the mean ocular perfusion pressure before and after treatment for 12 weeks with Qiming granule. The HbA1c, fundus hemorrhage area, retinal blood oxygen saturation and vessel diameter, and the mean ocular perfusion pressure before and after treatment were expressed by mean±standard deviation. The paired t testing was used to compare within groups. Visual acuity comparison adopts single factor repeated measures analysis of variance.

Results

The duration of diabetes in the subjects was 1 to 30 years, with an average of (13.75±9.31) years. Before and after treatment for 4, 8, 12 weeks, visual acuity were (73.81±7.90), (73.97±8.53), (74.74±7.29), and (76.26±6.80), respectively. After treatment for 12 weeks, visual acuity had a tendency to improve. After analysis of variance, the difference in visual acuity was not statistically significant before and after treatment (F=2.162, P>0.05). Before treatment, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, the intraocular pressure, the mean ocular perfusion pressure were (129.13±8.36) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (74.44±6.92) mmHg, (15.58±2.90) mmHg, (46.06±4.90) mmHg, respectively. After treatment for 12 weeks, those were (126.94±10.11) mmHg, (70.81±8.83) mmHg, (14.54±1.84) mmHg, (45.43±4.80) mmHg, respectively. After analysis of paired t testing, there were non-significant difference in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, the intraocular pressure before and after the treatment (t=0.797, 1.383, 1.853, 0.538; P>0.05). Before treatment, HbAlc, the mean values of retinal vein blood oxygen saturation, the mean values of the difference in arterial and venous oxygen saturation were (7.68±1.17)%, (63.18±7.07)%, (37.93±6.50)%, respectively. After treatment for 12 weeks, those were (6.73±1.49)%, (60.16±5.21)%, (39.93±4.04)%, respectively. After analysis of paired t testing, there were significant difference in HbAlc, the mean values of retinal vein blood oxygen saturation, the mean values of the difference in arterial and venous oxygen saturation before and after the treatment (t=2.611, 2.482, -2.259; P<0.05). Before treatment, the fundus hemorrhage area and the mean values of retinal artery blood oxygen saturation (4713.70±8082.42) pixels, (101.12±6.54)%, respectively. After treatment for 12 weeks, those were (3776.66±6553.91) pixels, (100.09±5.95)%, respectively. After analysis of paired t testing, there were non-significant difference in the fundus hemorrhage area and the mean values of retinal artery blood oxygen saturation before and after the treatment (t= 1.571, 1.047; P>0.05).

Conclusions

Qiming granule could reduce retinal venous oxygen saturation and increase the mean values of the difference in arterial and venous oxygen saturation in patients with non-proliferative DR.
