Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a disease in which lipids and inflammatory factors accumulate on the walls of arteries, forming plaques that eventually block the flow of blood. Polydatin was derived from plant knotweed, which could play an important role in inhibiting the progression of atherosclerosis. However, the mechanism by which polydatin regulates the genesis and development of atherosclerosis remains unclear. To detect the function of polydatin in atherosclerosis, the proliferation, apoptosis and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was detected using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining, flow cytometry and transwell assays, respectively. In addition, the branch points and capillary length of HUVECs were observed using a tube formation assay, and the lipid accumulation was tested by Oil-red O staining assay. Dual luciferase reporter assays were performed to confirm the association between microRNA (miR)-26a-5p and BH3 interacting domain death agonist (BID) in HUVECs. The data suggested oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) notably inhibited the viability of HUVECs in a dose-dependent manner, and polydatin reversed the oxLDL-induced inhibition of HUVECs viability and proliferation. In addition, polydatin inhibited the apoptosis, migration and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in oxLDL-treated HUVECs. Polydatin reversed oxLDL-induced lipid accumulation and angiogenesis inhibition in HUVECs. Furthermore, BID was targeted by miR-26a-5p, and polydatin reversed the oxLDL-induced apoptosis of HUVECs via regulating the miR-26a-5p/BID axis. In summary, polydatin reversed the oxLDL-induced apoptosis of HUVECs via regulating the miR-26a-5p/BID axis. Therefore, polydatin could act as a new agent for atherosclerosis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2(GRB2), a bridging protein. An animal study showed that downregulation of GRB2 inhibited the activation of PI3K/AKT/NF-kB pathway which improved lipid accumulation and inflammatory infiltration in rats with atherosclerosis (AS), resulting in an anti-AS effect. This was the first study to investigate blood GRB2 levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) patients with carotid atherosclerosis (CAS), exploring its relationship with various metabolic indicators, and further, examining whether GRB2 has an AS effect in patients with T2DM. METHODS A total of 203 participants were recruited in the study, including 69 T2DM patients without CAS (T2DM group), 67 T2DM patients with CAS (CAS group), and 67 in the age-sex-matched healthy subjects (Control group). Serum GRB2 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 203 subjects who had received carotid ultrasonography. In addition, cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA1c), fasting insulin (FINS), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), and Interleukin 6 (IL-6) were also tested. The correlation between serum GRB2 levels and other indexes was analyzed. Finally, we analyzed the risk factors affecting carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in T2DM patients. RESULTS Serum GRB2 levels were increased in the T2DM group than in the control group, and further elevated in the CAS group (median 3.05 vs 4.40 vs 7.09 ng/ml, P<0.001). Spearman correlation analysis showed that GRB2 concentrations were negatively correlated with HDL-C, and positively associated with duration of diabetes, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), TC, HBA1c, FPG, FINS, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), Hs-CRP, IL-6 and CIMT (P<0.01). Furthermore, serum GRB2 levels (P<0.001) remained independently related to CIMT after adjusting for the age, sex, duration of diabetes, and Body Mass Index (BMI) variables. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that IL-6, HDL-C, HBA1c, and CIMT are independent correlation factors of serum GRB2 (P<0.01). Univariate logistic regression suggested that disease duration, WHR, systolic blood pressure (SBP), TG, HDL-C, HBA1c, FPG, HOMA-IR, IL-6, Hs-CRP, and GRB2 independently associated with T2DM is combined with CAS(P<0.05). And multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that duration of diabetes, IL-6, and serum GRB2 levels were independent risk factors for T2DM combined with CAS (P<0.05), and serum GRB2 levels were a highly sensitive indicator of early AS (OR=1.405, 95% CI: 1.192-1.658 P<0.001). Moreover, the ROC curve AUC area of serum GRB2 expression levels was 0.80 (95%CI: 0.7291-0.8613, P < 0.001), with a sensitivity of 83.58% and specificity of 70.59%. The risk of CAS was substantially higher in patients with T2DM whose serum GRB2 concentration was >4.59 ng/ml. CONCLUSIONS Serum GRB2 concentrations were significantly increased in T2DM combined with CAS, and serum GRB2 levels were linearly correlated with CIMT, suggesting that GRB2 may be involved in the occurrence and development of T2DM with CAS, which can be used as a predictor of whether T2DM is combined with CAS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective was to study the relationship of serum uric acid, C-reactive protein, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels with acute cerebral infarction. METHODS A total of 96 acute cerebral infarction patients were divided into small, middle, and large infarct size groups based on the size of infarct focus and mild, moderate, and severe infarction groups based on the evaluation criteria of nerve defect degree. In addition, 75 healthy people were selected as the control group. The serum uric acid, C-reactive protein, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels of all subjects were detected. RESULTS The serum uric acid, C-reactive protein, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels in the acute cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05). Compared with the small infarct size group, each index in middle and large infarct size groups was significantly increased (p<0.05). Compared with the middle infarct size group, each index in the large infarct size group was significantly increased (p<0.05). The serum uric acid, C-reactive protein, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels in moderate and severe infarction groups were significantly higher than the mild infarction group (p<0.05). Compared with the moderate infarction group, each index in the severe infarction group was significantly increased (p<0.05). The serum uric acid, C-reactive protein, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels were positively correlated with the infarct size and nerve defect degree (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The serum uric acid, C-reactive protein, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels are closely correlated with the occurrence and development of acute cerebral infarction. The detection of these indexes has significance for understanding the severity of acute cerebral infarction, guiding the individual treatment scheme, and evaluating the prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of acupuncture on neurovascular units after cerebral infarction (CI) in rats through the phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway. METHODS A total of 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group (n = 12), model group (n = 12) and acupuncture group (n = 12). The external carotid artery was only exposed in model group, while the post-CI ischemia-reperfusion model was established using the suture method in the other 2 groups. After modeling, the rats in sham group and model group were fixed and sampled, while those in acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture intervention for 2 weeks and sampled. The neurological deficits of rats were evaluated using the Zea-Longa score, and the spatial learning and memory of rats were detected via water maze test. Moreover, the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) and synuclein (SYN) in brain tissues were detected via immunohistochemistry, and the relative protein expressions of PI3K p85, PI3K p110 and p-AKT were detected via Western blotting. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expressions of VEGF, GAP-43 and SYN were detected via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). RESULTS The Zea-Longa score was significantly increased in model group and acupuncture group compared with that in sham group (p < 0.05), while it significantly declined in acupuncture group compared with that in model group (p < 0.05). The escape latency was significantly prolonged and the times of crossing platform were significantly reduced in model group and acupuncture group compared with those in sham group (p < 0.05), while the escape latency was significantly shortened and the times of crossing platform were significantly increased in acupuncture group compared with those in model group (p < 0.05). The positive expressions of VEGF, GAP-43 and SYN were obviously increased in model group and acupuncture group compared with those in sham group (p < 0.05), while they were obviously increased in acupuncture group compared with those in model group (p < 0.05). Besides, model group and acupuncture group had significantly higher relative protein expressions of PI3K p85, PI3K p110 and p-AKT than sham group (p < 0.05), while acupuncture group also had significantly higher relative protein expressions of PI3K p85, PI3K p110 and p-AKT than model group (p < 0.05). The relative mRNA expressions of VEGF, GAP-43 and SYN were remarkably increased in model group and acupuncture group compared with those in sham group (p < 0.05), while they were remarkably increased in acupuncture group compared with those in model group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Acupuncture promotes the repair of neurovascular units after CI in rats through activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby exerting a protective effect on neurovascular units.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medical complications often occur, particularly in the acute phase of severe stroke, and lead to poor outcomes. However, it is unclear whether out-of-bed mobilization (OM) reduces such complications or not in the acute phase of severe stroke. Thus, we investigated the association between OM and complications of immobility in the acute phase of severe stroke. METHODS We enrolled 407 patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage and patients with modified Rankin Scale 5 at discharge in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: OM (303 patients) and bed rest (BR; 104 patients) at discharge based on their medical records. Complications of immobility (such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, pressure sore, and falls) during hospitalization in each group were recorded. RESULTS The total complication rate of immobility, incidence of pneumonia, and the incidence of pressure sores were significantly lower in the OM group than in the BR group [60.7% vs. 88.5%, 45.5% vs. 62.5%, and 3.6% vs. 12.5%; odds ratio, 0.20, 0.50, and 0.26; and 95% confidence intervals, 0.11-0.39, 0.32-0.79, and 0.11-0.61, respectively]. Urinary tract infection and falls did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS In the acute phase of severe stroke, OM was significantly associated with a lower risk of total complication rate of immobility, incidence of pneumonia, and incidence of pressure sore without increasing falls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke is related to the level of total homocysteine and the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque. In this study, the characteristics of carotid plaque in hypertensive patients with hyperhomocysteinemia were preliminarily studied by conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and virtual touch image quantification. METHODS Hypertensive patients (n=196) hospitalised in the Department of Neurology and Cardiology of our hospital from April 2016 to February 2019 were studied to compare and analyse differences in general clinical data, conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and virtual touch image quantification between hypertension with hyperhomocysteinemia and hypertension with normal tHcy. RESULTS 1. There was no statistical difference in other clinical data, except fasting blood sugar (P=0.021) and the history of cerebral infarction (P=0.0001). 2. There were significant differences in plaque thickness, stenosis degree, contrast-enhanced ultrasound level, The maximum shear wave velocity (SWVmax) , the minimum shear wave velocity (SWVmin) and the mean shear wave velocity (SWVmean) (P<0.05), except intima-media thickness between the two groups (t=0.160, P=0.873). 3. Blood tHcy level in hypertensive patients with hyperhomocysteinemia was positively correlated with carotid plaque thickness, stenosis degree and contrast-enhanced ultrasound level (r=0.349, 0.647, 0.421), but negatively correlated with SWVmax, SWVmin and SWVmean (r=-0.348, -0.409, -0.393). CONCLUSIONS Ultrasonography can reflect the vulnerability of hypertensive patients with hyperhomocysteinemia, providing reliable and comprehensive information for the prevention and treatment of stroke in hypertensive patients with hyperhomocysteinemia.

Abstract
Cardiac-cerebral vascular disease (CCVD), is primarily induced by atherosclerosis, and is a leading cause of mortality. Numerous studies have investigated and attempted to clarify the molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis; however, its pathogenesis has yet to be completely elucidated. Two expression profiling datasets, GSE43292 and GSE57691, were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The present study then identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and functional annotation of the DEGs was performed. Finally, an atherosclerosis animal model and neural network prediction model was constructed to verify the relationship between hub gene and atherosclerosis. The results identified a total of 234 DEGs between the normal and atherosclerosis samples. The DEGs were mainly enriched in actin filament, actin binding, smooth muscle cells, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions. A total of 13 genes were identified as hub genes. Following verification of animal model, the common DEG, Tropomyosin 2 (TPM2), was found, which were displayed at lower levels in the atherosclerosis models and samples. In summary, DEGs identified in the present study may assist clinicians in understanding the pathogenesis governing the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis, and TPM2 exhibits potential as a promising diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Background Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis and its complications. Since a dysregulated inflammatory response is associated with early neurological deterioration (END), serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) could be a marker of END as well. Aim In this study, we evaluated the relationship between the serum NLR and END in patients with ischemic stroke due to large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA). Methods We evaluated consecutive patients with ischemic stroke due to LAA between January 2010 and December 2015. END was defined as an increase ≥ 2 on the total NIHSS score or ≥ 1 on the motor NIHSS score within the first 72 hours of admission. The NLR was calculated by dividing the absolute neutrophil count by the absolute lymphocyte count. Results Of the 349 included patients, 18.1% (n = 63) had END events. In multivariate analysis, serum NLR was independently associated with END (adjusted odds ratio, 1.08; 95% confidence interval [1.00–1.16], P = 0.043). Time to admission, and in-situ thrombosis and artery-to-artery embolization mechanisms were also significantly associated with END events. In an analysis of the relationship between serum NLR and vascular lesion burden, serum NLR was positively correlated with both the degree of stenotic lesions (P for trend = 0.006) and the number of vessel stenosis (P for trend = 0.038) in a dose-response manner. We also compared serum NLR by the stroke mechanisms: patients with hypoperfusion or in-situ thrombosis had the highest levels of NLR: however, only those with in-situ thrombosis had significantly higher NLR in the END group compared to the non-END group (P = 0.005). Conclusions Serum NLR levels were associated with END events in patients with ischemic stroke due to LAA. Since NLR was also closely correlated with the underlying vascular lesions, our results indicated clues for mechanisms of END events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors for recurrence of large atherosclerotic cerebral infarction in first?episode patients. METHODS The consecutive patients with acute cerebral infarction diagnosed in the Department of Neurology were screened for large atherosclerotic cerebral infarction by CTA/MRA examination, and all the confirmed patients were followed up for 1 year. The patients were divided into recurrent ischemic stroke group and non?recurrent group according to occurrence of cerebrovascular events during the follow?up. RESULTS A total of 256 eligible patients were included in this study, and all of them completed the follow?up. During the 1?year follow?up, 30 (11.7%) patients had ischemic cerebrovascular stroke events. Univariate analysis showed significant differences in alcohol drinking (P=0.028), smoking (P=0.007), high?density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL; P=0.045), ischemic heart disease (P=0.002), antihypertensive agents (P=0.036) and statin use (P=0.016) between the recurrent group and non?recurrent group. Cox regression analysis showed that irregular use of statins (RR=0.410, P=0.043), smoking (RR=2.253, P=0.043), HDL (RR=0.327, P=0.029), and ischemic heart disease (RR=8.566, P<0.001) were correlated with recurrent ischemic stroke. CONCLUSION The first?episode patients with irregular use of statins, low HDL levels, smoking and ischemic heart disease are at higher risks for having ischemic stroke recurrence.
