Research progress on the mechanism of salidroside in improving secondary brain injury after trauma brain injury
Traumatic brain injury(TBI)is a complex direct injury to the head caused by traffic accidents,falls,etc.,including primary brain injury and secondary brain injury.Secondary biochemical cascade reactions(such as oxidative stress,inflammation and glutamate neurotoxicity)generated by Secondary traumatic brain in-jury(sTBI)are the main causes of neurological dysfunction.Salidroside(Sal)is a natural phenolic product iso-lated from Rhodiola rosea Rhizome,which has neuroprotective effects such as anti-oxidation,inhibiting inflam-mation and apoptosis,blocking neurotransmission and so on.Because of its remarkable effect in neuroprotection and few side effects,it has become a research hotspot in the treatment of secondary brain injury after TBI.Al-though there have been extensive clinical studies on the treatment of sTBI,there is still no summary of the mech-anism by which Sal can improve the neurological dysfunction caused by sTBI.Therefore,this paper summarizes the latest research progress and mechanism of action of Sal in improving the secondary neurological dysfunction of TBI,in order to provide references for the clinical application of Sal to improve such diseases and their complica-tions.
