血管性痴呆的研究现状

摘要

血管性痴呆(VaD)是一种因缺血性或出血性脑卒中而造成认知、记忆和行为等认知功能障碍的综合征.它是老年性痴呆的一个重要类型,也被认为是目前唯一可以防治的痴呆类型,VaD发病机制复杂,根据病因、累及的血管、病变脑组织部位、神经影像学和病理学特征可将其分为多种类型.另外,作为目前的研究热点,VaD的治疗也越来越受研究者的重视,西药治疗VaD的研究进展缓慢,缺乏创新;而中医中药用于治疗VaD取得了较大进展,且具有安全性高、见效快、经济适用的特点.%Vascular dementia(VaD) is a set of cognitive dysfunction syndrome of cognitive,memory and behavior caused byischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.VaD is an important type of senile dementia,which is also thought to be the only type of dementia that can be controlled.Its pathogenesis is complicated,according to the etiology,involvement of the diseased blood vessels,the part of the brain tissue,neuroimaging and pathological characteristics of VaD can be divided into many types.In addition,as the current research hotspot,the treatment of VaD is causing more and more researchers' attention,and the research progress of western medicine treatment of VaD is slow,lack of innovation,which traditional Chinese medicine treatment of VaD has achieved great progress,and has high safety,quick effect,and economically applicable.
