Phytoestrogens refer to a class of compounds in plants that can bind to and activate estrogen receptors in mammalian organisms,exerting varying degrees of protective and improvement effects on the body.Modern pharmacological studies have found that phytoestrogens have therapeutic effects on the cardiovascular system,nervous system,endocrine system,immune system,and so on.It is worth noting that the binding of phytoestrogens to estrogen receptors in the brain can produce central neuroprotective effects and improve learning and cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's pectients through multiple targeted pathways.This paper describes the research progress and related mechanisms of phytoestrogen-like monomers,Chinese herbal medicine,and compound formulations in Alzheimer's disease.The aim is to provide new drug design ideas and solutions for the effective treatment of senile dementia with traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To investigate the change and clinical significance of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level in patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(AICH).Methods:81 patients with AICH admitted to the Neurosurgery Department of Tianjin Third Central Hospital from January 2019 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. 81 patients with non cerebral hemorrhage who came from the health examination center or complained of dizziness and had no hepatobiliary and skeletal diseases were selected as the control group. The clinical data of all the patients were recorded, including gender, age, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, hemorrhage location, liver function indexes, the history of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, smoking, drinking, and so on. The differences in clinical data between the two groups were compared. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between liver function indexes and GCS score. The independent risk factors for AICH were screened by binary logistic regression, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of serum ALP in predicting intracerebral hemorrhage.Results:Serum ALP level in AICH group was significantly higher than that in the control group [85.0(70.0, 103.0) U/L vs 65.0(54.5, 71.5)U/L, Z=6.740, P<0.001]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum ALP had a negative correlation with GCS score ( r=0.255, P=0.022). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension ( OR=20.440, 95% CI 8.572-48.737) and ALP ( OR=1.077, 95% CI 1.049-1.105) were risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage. Serum ALP level was an independent risk factor ( OR=1.069, 95% CI 1.038-1.101) for AICH after adjusting for confounding variables including age, AST, history of hypertension. ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of serum ALP in predicting intracerebral hemorrhage was 0.807 (95% CI 0.740-0.873, P<0.001), with sensitivity of 67.9% and specificity of 81.5%. Conclusions:Serum ALP level may be related to the occurrence and severity of AICH. Therefore, serum ALP level can be used as a reference index to evaluate the occurrence, severity of patients with AICH.
