阿尔茨海默病与淋巴显微外科:迷雾与未解之谜

Alzheimer's Disease and Lymphatic Microsurgery: Navigating the Unknown

  • 摘要: 阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer's disease,AD)是一种以β-淀粉样蛋白沉积、tau蛋白异常磷酸化形成的神经原纤维缠结以及慢性神经炎症为特征病理改变的神经退行性疾病。近年研究发现,胶质-脑膜-颈部淋巴系统通路在颅内代谢废物清除过程中发挥关键作用,其功能障碍可能导致β-淀粉样蛋白和tau蛋白的清除效率下降。基于这一机制,国内学者创新性地提出采用淋巴显微外科手术重建脑-颈部淋巴引流通路,旨在通过增强颅内代谢废物清除能力改善AD的病理进程和认知功能。本文通过文献回顾,重点探讨淋巴显微外科手术治疗AD的理论依据,在对现有手术方法及疗效评估体系进行批判性思辨的同时,深入剖析将该技术直接应用于AD临床治疗所面临的基础科学问题和临床转化挑战,以期为未来研究提供理论参考与方法学指导。

     

    Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by hallmark pathological features, including β-amyloid deposition, neurofibrillary tangles formed by hyperphosphorylated tau protein, and chronic neuroinflammation. Recent studies have revealed that the glymphatic-meningeal-cervical lymphatic system plays a pivotal role in intracranial metabolic waste clearance, and its dysfunction may impair the clearance efficiency of β-amyloid and tau proteins. Based on this mechanism, domestic scholars have innovatively proposed lymphomicrosurgical reconstruction of the brain-cervical lymphatic drainage pathway, aiming to ameliorate AD pathological progression and cognitive function by enhancing intracranial waste clearance. Through a comprehensive literature review, this article focuses on the theoretical rationale for lympho-microsurgical intervention in AD. While critically evaluating existing surgical approaches and efficacy assessment systems, it further examines the fundamental scientific challenges and clinical translation barriers in directly applying this technique to AD treatment, with the goal of providing theoretical insights and methodological guidance for future research.
