Abstract
Dementia is a clinical syndrome due to brain neurodegeneration and associated oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Chronic inflammatory and immunological diseases are associated with the development of dementia due to the development of neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction. Dementia is commonly related to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which may be named as an enterogenic dementia, which results from gut dysbiosis, systemic inflammation, and neuroinflammation. IBD is regarded as a potential risk factor for the development and progression of dementia, known as enterogenic dementia, through different mechanisms such as alteration of the gut-brain axis and gut dysbiosis. However, the precise mechanism linking IBD and dementia is not fully elucidated and remains elusive. In this perspective, we try to discuss the mechanisms for the development and progression of enterogenic dementia in relation to IBD and gut dysbiosis.
期刊介绍:
Inflammopharmacology is the official publication of the Gastrointestinal Section of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the Hungarian Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology Society (HECPS). Inflammopharmacology publishes papers on all aspects of inflammation and its pharmacological control emphasizing comparisons of (a) different inflammatory states, and (b) the actions, therapeutic efficacy and safety of drugs employed in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. The comparative aspects of the types of inflammatory conditions include gastrointestinal disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn''s disease), parasitic diseases, toxicological manifestations of the effects of drugs and environmental agents, arthritic conditions, and inflammatory effects of injury or aging on skeletal muscle. The journal has seven main interest areas:
-Drug-Disease Interactions - Conditional Pharmacology - i.e. where the condition (disease or stress state) influences the therapeutic response and side (adverse) effects from anti-inflammatory drugs. Mechanisms of drug-disease and drug disease interactions and the role of different stress states
-Rheumatology - particular emphasis on methods of measurement of clinical response effects of new agents, adverse effects from anti-rheumatic drugs
-Gastroenterology - with particular emphasis on animal and human models, mechanisms of mucosal inflammation and ulceration and effects of novel and established anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory agents, or antiparasitic agents
-Neuro-Inflammation and Pain - model systems, pharmacology of new analgesic agents and mechanisms of neuro-inflammation and pain
-Novel drugs, natural products and nutraceuticals - and their effects on inflammatory processes, especially where there are indications of novel modes action compared with conventional drugs e.g. NSAIDs
-Muscle-immune interactions during inflammation [...]
