  • Systemic factors associated with treatment response in patients with diabetic macular edema

    Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of vision loss and even blindness in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial factor therapy has become the gold standard management of DME. However, not all eyes response optimally to common management of DME, which could be due to the differences of individual factors. Increasing age could be the predictive factors for poor outcome. The influence of glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease and relative factors on treatment response require further investigation. Identifying the systemic factors that influence the treatment response of DME can provide the evidence to predict the prognosis of DME, and improve the efficacy of clinical treatment.

  • Analysis of peripheral pathological features of diabetic retinopathy based on ultra-wide-angle fundus imaging

    ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution characteristics of peripheral retinopathy in Chinese patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR).MethodsA cross-sectional study. From January to December 2019, 265 cases of 388 eyes of DR patients diagnosed in the eye examination of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were included in the study. Among them, there were 211 eyes in 148 males and 177 eyes in 117 females; the average age was 58.4±12.3 years. Ultra-wide-angle fundus imaging (UWF) examination was performed by Daytona in Aalborg, UK. Use Photoshop to simulate the standard 7-azimuth (S7F) area, which was used as the central retinal area 1-7. The peripheral retinal areas 3-7 (P3-P7) were the adjacent peripheral retinal areas of the central retinal area 3-7, respectively. Divided DR into peripheral lesion predominant type (PPL) and central lesion predominant type (PCL). PPL was defined as at least one peripheral retinal area with more severe disease than its adjacent central area. χ2 test was performed on the difference of PPL composition ratio in each retinal area of eyes with different DR stages.ResultsAmong 388 eyes, 200 eyes were PPL (51.5%, 200/388). Compared of PPL composition ratios of eyes with different stages of DR, mild non-proliferative DR (NPDR), moderate NPDR, severe NPDR and proliferative DR were 32 (36.8%, 32/87), 89 (55.3%, 89/161)), 42 (51.9%, 42/81), 37 (62.6%, 37/59), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=11.440, P=0.010). Comparison of the distribution of PPL in each retinal area in DR eyes: in 200 PPL eyes, areas 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 have 87, 101, 78, 67, and 38 eyes, respectively. The distribution of PPL in each retinal area in DR eyes was compared, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=37.640, P<0.001).ConclusionsPPL accounts for 51.5% of the eyes with DR. The DR stage are more severe, the proportion of PPL is higher. The temporal retinal peripheral lesions are the most common.
