Abstract:
Cognitive impairment seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Clinically, it is common in cerebral ischemia, sepsis and postoperative. Its etiology includes abnormal expression of regulatory molecules in the brain, ischemic injury of brain tissue and abnormal expression of genes and proteins in brain tissues. However, there is no effective treatment at present. Electroacupuncture has a certain effect on cognitive impairment. Its mechanism mainly includes inhibiting oxidative stress response, enhancing synaptic plasticity, inhibiting neuroinflammation, regulating glial cell activity, regulating excitatory amino acids, and improving glucose metabolism.
