목적: PRP(범안저레이저광응고술) 시행 전에 측정한 망막정맥충만시간의 절대치 뿐만 아니라, PRP 시행 전과 후에 그 변화량을 평가함으로써, 그 변화량과 신생혈관 진행과의 연관성을 규명하고자 하였다. 방법: 증식당뇨 망막병증으로 본원에서 PRP를 시행한 환자 중 PRP 전과 후에 형광안저촬영을 시행하였던 환자 32안을 주사형 레이저검안경을 이용한 형광안저촬영 시행 후 2주 내에 PRP를 시작하였고 PRP 시행 3~5개월 후에 다시 형광안저촬영을 시행하였다. 결과: 망막정맥충만 시간의 PRP 전 후의 변화는 안정화된 군에서는 -0.99±1.60초 감소하였고 불안정화된 군에서는 0.30±1.69초 증가하였으며 독립 T-검정상 망막정맥충만시간의 변화는 통계적으로 유의하였다(P

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Lycii fructus and Astragalus membranaceus mixed extracts on immunomodulators and prevention in a streptozotocin-induced diabetes rat model. A total of 28 male rats were divided into four dietary groups and fed a commercial diet (A), commercial diet plus induced diabetes by a streptozotocin (STZ) injection (B), induced diabetes by STZ plus medicinal crop extracts(I&H®) diet (C), and medicinal crop extracts (I&H®) diet (D). Immunoblotting analyses revealed cytokine expression, and ELISA analyses revealed immunoglobulin E and nitric oxide production. As a results, the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) as a inflammatory cytokine were decreased. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and signal transducer and activation of transcription 3 (STAT3) cytokine related in diabetes expression through JAK/STAT3 pathway were also decreased. Furthermore, immunoglobulin E and nitric oxide production were decreased in the serum and lens, respectively. These results suggest that Lycii fructus and Astragalus membranaceus mixed extracts provide positive effects on immunomodulators and prevention in diabetes and eye disease complications.
