For people of the older age group, the term senile asthenia syndrome is used. Asthenia manifests itself with increased fatigue and exhaustion, mood instability, increased irritability, sleep disorders. Asthenic conditions manifest themselves along with a decrease in physical activity, increased cognitive and mental fatigue. Asthenic syndrome (AS) are considered as an integral part of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as one of the manifestations of cerebrovascular pathology. Senile asthenia syndrome (SAS) is a geriatric syndrome characterized by an age-associated decrease in the physiological reserve and functions of many body systems, including cognitive functions. One of the drugs that has a positive effect on the severity of AS and improves the state of cognitive functions is the domestic drug Recognan (citicoline). The effectiveness of Recognan in the treatment of AS in patients with CVD, SAS, and post-COVID asthenia has been shown. It is recommended to prescribe Recognan orally at 500 mg / day for 30 days.

Attention is paid to dysfunction of the neurovascular unit, and disruption of the functional and compensatory capabilities of blood flow. The importance of microhemorrhages that occur in the acute period of injury and the formation of first focal and then diffuse neuroinflammation is emphasized. The importance of mitochondrial dysfunction was separately determined as a significant factor in increasing the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) in patients after traumatic brain injury (TBI). In TBI, there is a decrease in the expression of tight junction (TC) proteins of endothelial cells, such as occludin, claudin, JP, which leads to increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier. TBI, provoking endothelial dysfunction, contributes to the development of metabolic disorders of β-amyloid and tau protein, which in turn leads to worsening vascular damage, resulting in a vicious circle that can ultimately lead to the development of AD and dementia. Age-related changes in cerebral arteries, which impair perivascular transport of interstitial fluid, are currently considered as an important part of the «amyloid cascade», especially against the background of genetically mediated disorders of glial membranes associated with defective aquaporin-4 (encoded by the <i>APOE4</i>). Studies in animal models of TBI have revealed an increase in tau protein immunoreactivity and its phosphorylation, which correlates with the severity of injury. A comprehensive analysis of research results shows that the cascade of reactions triggered by TBI includes all the main elements of the pathogenesis of AD: disorders of energy metabolism, microcirculation and clearance of cerebral metabolic products. This leads to a disruption in the metabolism of amyloid protein and its accumulation in brain tissue with the subsequent development of tauopathy. Cerebrolysin, by modulating the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, blocks the development of neuroinflammation, reduces the accumulation of pathological forms of proteins and may be slow down the progression of neurodegeneration.</p>","PeriodicalId":56370,"journal":{"name":"Zhurnal Nevrologii I Psikhiatrii Imeni S S Korsakova","volume":"124 1","pages":"45-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139522262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
