The expression of glomerular TIMP1 and collagen Ⅳ were studied by immunohistoehemieal staining. Our results showed that after 12 weeks, the Cer in DD group increased and was significantly higher than that in DM group. Electron microscopy showed that thickness of glomerular capillary basement membrane （GBM） in Group DD was less than that of DM group. No hyperplasia of collagen fibers was found, and the distance betweeh the holes of endothelial cells in DD group was not as even as that in the normal group, but more even than that of DM group, and podocyte processes was still in order. Immunohistochemical staining of glomeruli showed that expression of TIMP1 and collagen Ⅳ in DD group were significantly less than those of DM group DM. It is concluded that calcium dobesilate can improve diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting the overaccumulation of collagen Ⅳ and calcium dobesilate may also contribute to diabetes by inhibiting the expression of TIMP1.展开更多
