A systematic review was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, HEED and CRD databases to find and evaluate economic evaluations assessing the cost effectiveness of alterative DR treatments.
It was suggested that further exploration of the MCP-1/CCR2 axis association between clinical stages of DR and expression levels of inflammatory and angiogenic cytokines and chemokines, principally the MCP-1 might lead to potential therapies aiming at neutralizing antibodies and viral vectors.
The purpose of this study was to explore the role of microRNA-451a (miR-451a) in diabetic retinopathy through activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2).
Furthermore, we reported a significant decrease in miR-20b and miR-17-3p and a significant increase in HOTAIR and MALAT1in DR as well as in PDR patients when compared with NDR patients.
The efficacy of Feno-NP in DR and neovascular AMD was investigated using streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) rats, and very low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout ( Vldlr <sup>-/-</sup>) mice.
In the current study BKS-db/db mice were treated with the mitochondrial uncoupler, niclosamide ethanolamine (NEN), to determine the effects of mitochondrial uncoupling therapy on T2D, and the pathogenesis of DPN, DKD and DR.

Both MCV and RDW correlated positively with HbA1c (r = 0,468, p = 0.003 and r = 0.521, p < 0.001), while Cox regression analysis revealed that besides age, diabetes duration, HbA1c, hypertension and dyslipidemia presence, MCV and RDW are also associated with the risk of DR development and progression (HR 1.057 and 1.237, p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONSWe clearly demonstrated that RBC's characteristics might represent a risk factor for DR development and progression.
The inflammation gradually worsen with the progression of DR. CCL3 may be associated with the onset of early diabetic retinal damage, and CCL15 and CCL21 may be closely related to the formation of fibrovascular membrane and the progression of the end stage of DR.
Since the NET could provide negative-charged surface for factor XII activation and the activated factor XII (XIIa) can initiate kallikrein-kinin system, this study investigated whether patients with DR show activation of NET, factor XII and kallikrein-kinin system.
