Abstract：Professor LIU Deshan initiatively proposes that disease mechanism of diabetic retinopathy(DR)is yin deficiency at the first stage,and stasis and impediment at the late stage with blood turbidity throughout the whole disease process based on the theory of"blood turbidity"and according to the characteristics of DR,and also summarizes four methods,nourishing yin,clearing turbidity,resolving stasis and nourishing liver and kidney for treating DR.Specifically,nourishing yin should be applied according to whether disease is acute or chronic,that is,for acute disease,yin should be rescued using Shigao(Gypsum Fibrosum)and Zhimu(Anemarrhenae Rhizoma),while for chronic one,yin should be nourished using Shengdihuang(Rehmanniae Radix),Maidong(Ophiopogonis Radix)and Shihu(Dendrobii Caulis);for clearing and resolving blood turbidity using Sangye(Mori Folium)and Gegen(Puerariae Lobatae Radix);medicinals for resolving blood stasis should be applied according to the stage,that is,during the non proliferative stage,Danshen(Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizome),Chuanxiong(Chuanxiong Rhizoma),Shuizhi(Hirudo)and Dilong(Pheretime)should be applied,while during the proliferative stage,Sanqi(Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma),Puhuang(Typhae Pollen),Xianhecao(Agrimoniae Herba)are usually applied;for nourishing liver and kidney,medicinals of mild nature should be applied,usually in combination with Shanzhuyu(Corni Fructus)of small dose so as to achieve the harmonization of yin and yang.
