To determine the levels of interleukin 8 (IL-8) in the vitreous of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
Observational case-control study.
Vitreous fluid samples were obtained by vitreoretinal surgery from 71 eyes of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 with PDR and from 17 eyes of nondiabetic patients with a macular hole. PDR was classified as active and inactive and subdivided according to the extent of large-vessel gliotic obliteration. The cytokine levels were measured by cytometric bead array method.
The vitreous levels of IL-8 were significantly higher in patients with PDR in comparison with the control subjects (P < .001) and in patients with higher extent of large vessel gliotic obliteration (P < .001). A vitreous level of IL-8 was not associated with the presence of active PDR.
Increased levels of IL-8 in PDR were associated with a higher extent of large-vessel gliotic obliteration.
测定增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变(PDR)患者玻璃体内白细胞介素8(IL-8)的水平。
观察性病例对照研究。
通过玻璃体视网膜手术从71例2型糖尿病伴PDR患者的眼中以及17例非糖尿病黄斑裂孔患者的眼中获取玻璃体液样本。PDR分为活动期和非活动期,并根据大血管胶质化闭塞的程度进一步细分。采用细胞计数珠阵列法测量细胞因子水平。
与对照组相比,PDR患者玻璃体内IL-8水平显著更高(P <.001),且在大血管胶质化闭塞程度较高的患者中也显著更高(P <.001)。玻璃体内IL-8水平与活动期PDR的存在无关。
PDR中IL-8水平升高与大血管胶质化闭塞程度较高有关。
