| Part Ⅰ:The clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine on wAMD:a meta analysisObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of wAMD systematically.MethodsWe searched Wan Fang Med Onlion database,CNKI database,PubMed and Cochrane Library database,we collected clinical randomized controlled trials on the treatment of wAMD treated with traditional Chinese and western medicine published in the self-built database until December 2020.according to the literature inclusion standard,Note Express 3.2 should be used to screen the literature and select data.We evaluated the methodological quality by using Cochrane bias risk assessment tool.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4.ResultsA total of 16 literatures were included,including 1,338 patients with wet agerelated macular degeneration(1,444 eyes).The results of meta analysis showed that:the BCVA(ETDRS)was higher of experimental one than control one(MD=8.4,95%CI=6.40-10.40);The thickness of macular fovea was lower of experimental group than control group(MD=8.63,95%=3.84-13.42);The effective rate of experimental group was better than control group(OR=3.86,95%CI=2.57-5.82);The improvement rate of fluorescence leakage in the experimental group was better than that in the control group(OR=5.02,95%CI=1.81-13.86;the complications incidence has no difference between the experimental group and the control one(OR=0.52,95%=0.22-1.23);The recurrence rate of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group(OR=0.4,95%CI=0.2-0.81).ConclusionTraditional Chinese medicine treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration has a certain effect in Improving patients’ best corrected vision and reducing the thickness of macular fovea;Compared with western medicine alone,The traditional Chinese integrated with western medicine treatment has better clinical efficiency and does not increase the safety risk of medication.This study shows that Traditional Chinese medicine is effective and safe as the treatment of wAMD,and integrated western medicine and traditional Chinese could be used in wet age-related macular degeneration clinical treatment.It can provide synergistic effect for wet age-related macular degeneration treatment in western medicine and provide a new clinical idea for the treatment of

pharmacolog was be used,to explore the Jiajian Zhujingfang pharmacological mechanism in the treatment of w AMD.MethodsThe potential action targets and active ingredients of Jiajian Zhujingfang and the action targets of wAMD was screened by using TCMSP platform database;At the same time,Multi-protein analysis was performed on the obtained common targets to obtain target protein interaction data by searching STRING(Version 11.0)database.The GO pathway and KEGG pathway were enriched and analyzed by R software 3.6.3 Bioconductor related data packets,and bubble diagrams were drawn.ResultsA total of 108 active ingredients and 295 targets were included in the modified prescription,and 35 therapeutic targets were included in wAMD.Through GO functional analysis,2318 biological processes,141 cell components and 286 molecular functions were identified.207 signaling pathways were analyzed by KEGG signaling pathway.It was found that the key targets of the treatment of w AMD with Jiajian Zhujingfang were IL-10,MAKP1,IL-6,SOD-1,HIF1-A,IL-1β,EGF,CRP,CCL-2,Signaling pathways include TNF pathway,MAPK pathway,1L-17 pathway,HIF-1 pathway,age-rage pathway,etc.Among
