Background/aim: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a complication of diabetes, causes damage to retinal blood vessels and can lead to vision impairment. Persistent high blood glucose levels contribute to this damage, and despite ongoing research, effective treatment options for DR remain limited. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has shown anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in both in vivo and in vitro studies; however, its potential as an anti-inflammatory agent in the context of DR has not yet been explored.

Mutations in the gene ABCA4 coding for photoreceptor-specific ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 4, are responsible for Stargardts Disease type 1 (STGD1), the most common form of inherited macular degeneration. STGD1 typically declares early in life and leads to severe visual handicap. Abca4 gene-deletion mouse models of STGD1 accumulate lipofuscin, a hallmark of the disease, but unlike the human disease show no or only moderate structural changes and no functional decline.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the succession of the central and peripheral neurovascular and microstructural impairments in patients with full-course diabetic retinopathy (DR), consisting of preclinical DR, nonproliferative DR (NPDR), and proliferative DR (PDR).
Methods: Our analysis included 81 participants (including 23 healthy controls, 23 with preclinical DR [diabetes without retinopathy], 13 with NPDR, and 22 with PDR) from the Guangdong Diabetic Retinopathy Multiple Omics Study. Retinal structure and function were evaluated and quantified using ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF-SS-OCTA), electroretinography (ERG), and adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO).

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is characterized by progressive photoreceptor cells death accelerated by the proliferation and activation of microglia pathologically. No consensus exists on the treatment. Minocycline is recognized as a microglia inhibitor with great anti-inflammatory and neuro-protective functions.

This study aimed to analyze Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) parameters and Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD) changes in patients affected by Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Eighteen eyes of 18 patients suffering from early-stage RP were enrolled in our observational study. 18 eyes of 18 patients age and gender matched were enrolled as controls.
