Brief Summary: The main pathological mechanism of Alzheimers Disease AD is the abnormal deposition of amyloid-beta Aβ and tau proteins in the brain Recent studies indicate that these two proteins are primarily cleared through the glymphatic system-meningeal lymphatic vessels-deep cervical lymphatic vessels pathway Lymphatic circulation disorders in elderly patients can directly lead to the abnormal deposition of these proteins Deep cervical lymphovenous bypass can improve lymphatic circulation and effectively treat lymphedema This project aims to verify the effectiveness of deep cervical lymphovenous bypass in treating AD offering a new surgical treatment method to improve cognitive impairment and the quality of life for AD patients
Detailed Description: Alzheimers Disease AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that insidiously begins Clinically characterized by memory impairment aphasia apraxia agnosia and other symptoms it poses a severe threat to the quality of life of the elderly and brings a heavy burden to society and families To date there are no effective methods to prevent halt or cure AD Therefore there is an urgent need to explore new treatment approaches

The definition of the glymphatic system and the discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels MLV have overturned the traditional view of the immune privilege of the central nervous system offering new clues and hope for the study and treatment of many brain diseases including AD The main pathological mechanism of Alzheimers Disease AD is the abnormal deposition of amyloid-beta Aβ and tau proteins in the brain Recent research indicates that these two proteins are primarily cleared through the glymphatic system-meningeal lymphatic vessels-deep cervical lymphatic vessels pathway and lymphatic circulation disorders in elderly patients can directly lead to the abnormal deposition of these proteins Deep cervical lymphovenous bypass can improve lymphatic circulation and effectively treat lymphedema This project aims to verify the effectiveness of deep cervical lymphovenous bypass in treating AD providing a new surgical method to improve cognitive impairment and the quality of life for AD patients
