Diabetes has become the epidemic of the 21 st century, and with over 90% patients with diabetes becoming at a risk of developing retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy has emerged as a major public health concern. In spite...
Objective:To study the efficacy of Salvia Miltiorrhiza+calcium dobesilate for early retinopathy of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:The patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy admitted to our hospital bet...
This study sought to elucidate the correlation between cyclinD1 expression and the emergence of neovascularization in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR). OIR was induced in Sprague-Dawley 7-day-old neonatal rats expos...
The aged population is constantly growing, thus fostering an increase in age-dependent diseases. Among these, diabetic retinopathy (DR) along with age-related macular degeneration entails progressive vision loss. Sinc...
