Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Modified Yinhuo Guiyuan Huayu Formula (MYGHF) in diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients with yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome and to observe its regulatory effects on the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Methods A total of 100 DR patients (200 eyes) with yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome admitted to the Fourth People’s Hospital of Hengshui from January 2019 to April 2020 were equally randomized into a control group (50 cases,100 eyes) and an observation group (50 cases, 100 eyes) using a random number table. Both groups were required to conduct intensive glycemic control. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine of lecithin-bound iodine, while the observation group received additional MYGHF for 3 months. Parameters of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores,key components of NF-κB signaling pathway [NF-κB p65,inhibitor of kappa B kinase (IKK),inhibitor kappa B (IκB)],angiogenesis-related factors [fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF21),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),angiopoietin 2(Ang2)],and efficacy indicators [glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c),fasting blood glucose (FBG),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR),visual field grayscale value, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA)] in the two groups were evaluated before treatment and 1 and 3 month(s) after treatment. After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were assessed. Results (1)After 3 months of treatment,the total effective rate was 88.00% (44/50) in the observation group versus 70.00% (35/50) in the control group,demonstrating significantly superior therapeutic effects of TCM syndrome differentiation in the observation group (tested by chi-square test,P<0.05).(2) At 1 and 3 month(s) after treatment,both groups showed reduced scores for TCM symptoms of blurred vision, dizziness and tinnitus, soreness and weakness of waist and knees,and feverish sensation in the palms and soles compared to the baseline levels (all P<0.05). The observation group exhibited significantly greater reductions in these symptom scores than the control group at both time points (all P<0.05).(3)The protein expression levels of NF- κB p65,IKK were decreased and IκB was increased in both groups at 1 and 3 month(s) after treatment compared to the baseline levels (all P<0.05),and the observation group demonstrated more pronounced improvement of these key pathway components compared to the control group (all P<0.05).(4)The levels of angiogenesis-related factors of FGF21,Ang2,and VEGF were significantly reduced in both groups at 1 and 3 month(s) compared to the baseline levels (all P<0.05),and the observation group showed superior decreases compared to the control group (all P<0.05).(5) The efficacy indicators of HbA1c,FBG,HOMA-IR,visual field grayscale values,and BCVA were improved in both groups at post-treatment 1 and 3 month(s) compared to the baseline levels (all P<0.05),and the observation group achieved significantly superior improvement in all indicators compared to the control group (all P<0.05).(6)The total incidence of adverse reactions was 2.00% (1/50) in the observation group versus 8.00% (4/50) in the control group, with no statistically significant difference between groups (P>0.05). Conclusion MYGHF effectively alleviates clinical symptoms in patients with DR of yin deficiency and blood stasis type, and is effective on modulating angiogenesis-related factors and suppressing NF- κB signaling pathway activation, demonstrating satisfactory efficacy and good safety profile.
