Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular disease affecting the eyes of diabetic patients, and is the most prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus. Vision improvement is not possible in the majority of DR patients. Several studies have indicated that microvascular changes, inflammation, oxidative stress, and retinal neurodegeneration are involved in the pathogenesis of DR. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of new and effective treatment for DR. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of disease will pave a way for better treatment and management of DR. This article has emphasized the molecular pathogenesis and treatment of DR.
糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)是一种影响糖尿病患者眼睛的微血管疾病,也是糖尿病最常见的并发症。大多数 DR 患者的视力都无法得到改善。多项研究表明,微血管病变、炎症、氧化应激和视网膜神经变性参与了 DR 的发病机制。因此,开发新的、有效的 DR 治疗方法迫在眉睫。了解疾病发病的分子机制将为更好地治疗和管理 DR 铺平道路。本文强调了 DR 的分子发病机制和治疗方法。
