Retinal injury after blunt ocular trauma may directly affect prognosis and lead to vision loss. To investigate the pathological changes and molecular mechanisms involved in retinal injury after blunt ocular trauma, we established a weight drop injury model of blunt ocular trauma in male Beagle dogs. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunofluorescence staining, western blotting, and TUNEL assays were performed to investigate retinal injury within 14 days after blunt ocular trauma.

Exosomes are subtypes of extracellur vesicles containing a variety of cell-specific proteins, lipids and nucleic acids released during cell activation or apoptosis, and play the role of intercellur communication mediators in different physiological and pathological processes. With the development of research in recent years, the role of platelet-derived exosomes in cardiovascular diseases has attracted extensive attention. This paper reviews the role of platelet-derived exosomes in atherosclerotic thrombosis and the potential role of platelet-derived exosomes as biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerotic thrombotic disease and the problems to be solved.

Secondary damage presents the greatest challenge for medical staff; however, there are currently few effective therapeutic targets for secondary damage. Homer proteins are postsynaptic scaffolding proteins that have been implicated in ischemic and traumatic insults to the central nervous system.
