Pathogenesis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease based on"deficiency consumption,blood stasis,and toxins"
Alzheimer's disease(AD)is one of the most common types of dementia in old age,which is characterized by progressive decline in several cognitive domains.The research group proposes that deficiency consumption is the basis of the development of AD,and the key to the progression and deterioration of AD is that deficiency leads to blood stasis,which turns into toxins,and toxins damage the brain collaterals.Since"deficiency consumption,blood stasis,and toxins"is the core pathogenetic progression feature of AD,the main clinical treatment method is to tonify deficiency and enhance intelligence,circulate blood and remove toxins,which provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the treatment of AD in Chinese medicine.
