AIM: To investigate the effect of triamcinolone acetonide(TA), artesunate(ART), and luteolin(LU)on the prevention and treatment of traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy(TPVR). METHODS: Forty-eight cyanotic blue rabbits were selected to prepare TPVR animal models by making a penetrating eye injury and intravitreal injection of 0.3mL platelet-rich plasma, and were randomly divided into four groups(n=12), in which the vitreous cavity of the control group was injected with 0.1mL saline; The vitreous cavity of the TA group was injected with 0.1mL(1mg/mL)triamcinolone acetonide; The vitreous cavity of the ART group was injected with 0.1mL(20μg/mL)artesunate; 0.1mL(10μg/mL)luteolin was injected into the vitreous cavity of the LU group. The vitreous and retinal proliferation were observed by fundus photography and ocular ultrasound at 1, 2, 3 and 4wk postoperatively. The expression levels of α-SMA and VIM protein in the vitreous fluid of each group of rabbit eyes were detected by Western Blot at 28d postoperatively, and the retinal tissue structure of each group was observed by retinal HE staining. RESULTS: At 28d postoperatively, the TPVR grading of rabbit eyes in the TA, ART and LU groups were significantly lower than that in the control group(P
