Objective To observe the inhibiting effects of alginate sodiumretinoic acid（AGS-RA）microspheres release system on the laser coagulationinduced subretinal proliferation.Methods RA were dissolved by absolute alcohol,then mixed with 1.5% AGS and made into AGSRA microspheres by a microcapsule electrostatic generator. The parameter of laser injury include irradiation time (0.20 s)，spot diameter (200 mu;ｍ) and output power (420 ｍＷ).Thirty pigmented rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups (laser injury，experimental and control group).After laser coagulation,AGSRA or blank microspheres were immediately injected into the vitrous of experimental and control rabbits respectively.The height,width and area of 6 retinal spots of laser coagulation at each timepoint were analyzed histopathologically with serial retinal sections at 1,2,3,4,and 6 weeks after laser coagulation.Results Histopathological examination showed that there were morphological and distribution changes of retinal cells in all layers, and localized fibroblasts proliferation in the retina after laser injury. The laserinduced responses in experimental group were much milder（P＜0.01）, while the laser injury group and control group have same width（P＞0.05）and height/area of laser spots（P＞0.05）.Conclusion AGSRA release system can alleviate the subretinal proliferate after laser injury.
