Chen Zheng*, Zhun Zhong, Wei-Wei Miao, Gui-Ling Geng

Abstract


Objective: To analyze the application effect of combining acupoint application with nourishing Qi and blood soup in the treatment
of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: A total of 74 DR patients admitted to our hospital from March 2023 to March 2024 were selected for
the study. They were evenly divided into a control group of 37 cases receiving routine Western medical treatment and an observation group
of 37 cases receiving combined traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. Results: The
levels of IFN-γ in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, while the levels of VEGF, FPG, 2hPG, high
shear whole blood viscosity, low shear whole blood viscosity, and platelet aggregation rate were significantly lower than those in the control
group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment can effectively control blood sugar and vascular
endothelial growth factor levels, improve blood flow parameters, and has promotional value.
