Purpose: The aim for this study is to investigate the expression of integrin α3, β1 and TGF-β induced protein (TGFBI) and the secretion of TGFBI by primary culture of human retinal pericytes (pHRP). Evidence suggests that chronic diabetes associate with HRP apoptosis leading to the development of diabetic retinopathy.
Methods: pHRP (Cell Systems) were cultured in complete media (15mM glucose) in a humidified, 5% CO2, 37°C condition. Cells were seeded at passage 6 to 8 into a 24 well-plate with coverslips or P10 dishes. Cells (85% confluence) media were then replaced by DMEM media with euglycemic glucose (5.5mM) or hyperglycemic …

House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Aim 1: To increase the percentage of JFMA diabetic patients with up-to-date retinopathy screening to 60% by April 1, 2019.
Aim 2: To increase the utilization of an in-office portable retinal scanner by identifying current barriers to its use and developing a standardized workflow to overcome these barriers.
Outcome measure: The percentage of adult diabetic patients with a JFMA provider listed as the PCP who have been seen in the Jefferson health system within the last 24 months, who had retinopathy screening once in the last 24 months.
Process measure: The number of retinal scans completed each week.
