Objective To observe the neuroprotective effect of Copolymer 1 ( Cop 1) in rats with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), and explore the clinical application of Cop 1 in the prevention of optic nerve atrophy induced by glaucoma. Methods Thirty adult Wistar rats were rendered for elevation of IOP in both eyes by Shareef-Sharma method. At the third week of IOP elevation, a mixture (1:1) of Cop 1 (100 μg) emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) was injected intracutaneously at two hind footpads in 15 rats (Cop 1 model group), and the other 15 rats were given the same dose of PBS emulsified in CFA (model control group) . Retinal ganglial cell (RGC) retrograde labeling was performed with Fluorogold 6 d later, and retina was taken after 24 h to compared the density of RGC between two groups. Another normal rats were served as blank controls. Results It was found that lymphocytes were accumulated on the histological slices of retina and optic nerve in Cop 1 model group. The rates of RGC loss of Cop 1 model group and model control group were 10. 24% ± 3.75% and 29.00% ±6.92%, respectively. The RGC density in Cop 1 model group was significantly lower than that in model control group (P <0. 05), while there was no significant difference in that between Cop 1 model group and blank control group (P >0.05). Conclusion Intracutaneous injection of Cop 1 can reduce the damage of RGC induced by elevated IOP.

Aortic arch atheroma is one of the causes of embolic stroke. With the deepening of research on aortic arch atheroma, its relationship with stroke is more and more clear, particularly the aortic arch plaque thickness ≥4 mm, is associated with cryptogenic stroke, stroke recurrence, and other vascular events. Although aortic arch atheroma and clinical features of stroke have been further understood, there are still many doubts.

Objective To investigate the correlation between carotid intraplaque neovascularization and acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Methods The patients examined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound were enroled and divided into either a symptomatic group or an asymptomatic group according to their cerebral ischemic symptoms. The patients were also divided into a low-echo group, an equal-echo group, and an heterogeneous echo group according to the plaque echo characteristics on conventional ultrasound. The carotid intraplaque neovascularization was evaluated with contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the correlation between carotid intraplaque neovascularization and acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Results A total of 73 patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease were enroled, 32 patients in the symptoms group (19 ischemic stroke, 13 transient ischemic attack), 41 patients in the asymptomatic group. Plaque echo characteristics: low-echo 15, equal-echo 41, and heterogeneous echo 17. The proportions of the patients with plaque enhancement (84. 4% vs. 61. 0% ; χ2 = 4. 802, P = 0. 028) and enhanced intensity (21. 78 ± 8. 50 dB vs. 15. 93 ± 8. 82 dB; t = 2. 440, P = 0. 018) in the symptomatic group were significantly higher than those in the asymptomatic group. The proportions of the patients with enhanced plaque in the low-echo, equal-echo and heterogeneous echo group were 93. 3% , 58. 5% , and 82. 4% , respectively (χ2 = 7. 826, P = 0. 020 ). The low-echo group and heterogeneous echo group were significantly higher than the equal-echo group (al P < 0. 05), but there was no significant difference between the low-echo group and the heterogeneous echo group (P > 0. 05). The intraplaque enhanced intensities in the low-echo group, equal-echo group, and heterogeneous echo group were 22. 62 ± 9. 33 dB, 14. 38 ± 8. 02 dB, and 18. 15 ± 9. 64 dB, respectively (F = 3. 877, P = 0. 027). The low-echo group was significantly higher than the equal-echo group (P = 0. 024 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that carotid intraplaque neovascularization (odds ratio 3. 456, 95% confidence interval 1. 103 - 10. 828; P = 0. 033) was independently associated with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Conclusions Carotid intraplaque neovascularization is closely associated with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
