摘要
Purpose: To determine if histamine receptor stimulation mediates increased blood-retinal barrier (BRB) permeability in patients with diabetic retinopathy, as it does in experimental diabetes. Methods: Fourteen patients with type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes and mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy were treated with combined astemizole, 20 mg, and ranitidine, 600 mg, or an identical placebo for 6 months in a double-masked fashion, Blood-retinal barrier permeability was measured by vitreous fluorometry at baseline and at 3 and 6 months. Results: Permeability was significantly reduced in the group treated with antihistamines (P < 0.05) compared with the placebo group, There were no concomitant significant changes in systemic arterial blood pressure or HbA(1c) values. Conclusion: These pilot data suggest that histamine receptors influence permeability of the BRB in human diabetes. Further studies of the effects of antihistamines on diabetic retinopathy are warranted.
