Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a brain-enhancing mechanism and device for promoting the circulation and exchange of cerebrospinal fluid. Background Art

[0002] The scope of brain health is very broad. Almost all brain diseases and some sub-health conditions caused by the nervous system belong to the category of brain health. Nowadays, in real life, many people, not only middle-aged and elderly people, but also young people may eventually suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's disease due to long-term excessive use of the brain or long-term bad living habits. Scientific studies in recent years have shown that amyloid protease Aβ is the main toxic protein of brain aging, and normal young brain tissue also produces Aβ protein. Our previous studies have found that the level of Aβ is directly related to the distribution and state of cerebrospinal fluid. Some unknown components in the cerebrospinal fluid of the lateral ventricle of the hippocampus and the cerebrospinal fluid of the fourth ventricle in the cerebellum cause differences in the Aβ levels in the neurons of these two regions, resulting in different pathological changes. Direct injection of cerebrospinal fluid from the fourth ventricle into the lateral ventricle can reduce the Aβ level in the neurons in this area and improve the lesions. The relative position of the fourth ventricle and the lateral ventricle is physically changed, which can promote the exchange of cerebrospinal fluid in this area, thereby promoting the degradation of Aβ protein, reducing the level of Aβ in the neurons of the hippocampus, improving the phenotype of Alzheimer's disease, and effectively reducing the incidence of brain aging-related diseases.
