Author Affiliations

Abstract

32 samples of vitreous of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and traction retinal detachment and 25 samples of vitreous of patients with traction retinal detachment (control) were investigated. The concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor, pigment epithelium-derived factor, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and interleukin 4, 6, 8, 10, 17A in the vitreous were studied. The significant increase in the concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor, pigment epithelium-derived factor, IL-17A, IL-8, IL-6, MCP-1, IL-4 in the vitreous of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy were revealed. The study showed that the important role in the mechanisms of development of proliferative diabetic retinopathy plays the activity of vascular proliferation and local immuno-inflammatory process. Identified correlations testify to the relationship of these processes.

Key words
