Abstract

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) encapsulate conditions in which neural cell populations are perpetually degraded and nervous system function destroyed. Generally linked to increased age, the proportion of patients diagnosed with a NDD is growing as human life expectancies rise. Traditional NDD therapies and surgical interventions have been limited. However, recent breakthroughs in understanding disease pathophysiology, improved drug delivery systems, and targeted pharmacologic agents have allowed innovative treatment approaches to treat NDDs. A common denominator for administering these new treatment options is the requirement for neurosurgical skills. In the present narrative review, we highlight exciting and novel preclinical and clinical discoveries being integrated into NDD care. We also discuss the traditional role of neurosurgery in managing these neurodegenerative conditions and emphasize the critical role of neurosurgery in effectuating these newly developed treatments.

神经外科治疗神经退行性疾病的创新发现:述评。
神经退行性疾病(ndd)是指神经细胞群不断退化,神经系统功能被破坏的一种疾病。通常与年龄增长有关,随着人类预期寿命的增加,诊断为NDD的患者比例也在增加。传统的NDD治疗和手术干预是有限的。然而,最近在了解疾病病理生理学、改进的药物输送系统和靶向药物方面的突破,使治疗ndd的创新治疗方法成为可能。实施这些新治疗方案的共同点是对神经外科技能的要求。在目前的叙述回顾中,我们强调了令人兴奋的和新颖的临床前和临床发现被整合到NDD治疗中。我们还讨论了神经外科在处理这些神经退行性疾病中的传统作用,并强调了神经外科在实现这些新发展的治疗方法中的关键作用。

期刊介绍: Current Alzheimer Research publishes peer-reviewed frontier review, research, drug clinical trial studies and letter articles on all areas of Alzheimer’s disease. This multidisciplinary journal will help in understanding the neurobiology, genetics, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies of Alzheimer’s disease. The journal publishes objective reviews written by experts and leaders actively engaged in research using cellular, molecular, and animal models. The journal also covers original articles on recent research in fast emerging areas of molecular diagnostics, brain imaging, drug development and discovery, and clinical aspects of Alzheimer’s disease. Manuscripts are encouraged that relate to the synergistic mechanism of Alzheimer''s disease with other dementia and neurodegenerative disorders. Book reviews, meeting reports and letters-to-the-editor are also published. The journal is essential reading for researchers, educators and physicians with interest in age-related dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Current Alzheimer Research provides a comprehensive ''bird''s-eye view'' of the current state of Alzheimer''s research for neuroscientists, clinicians, health science planners, granting, caregivers and families of this devastating disease.
