Soft capsule for preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease and preparation method of soft capsule

The invention relates to a soft capsule for preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease and a preparation method of the soft capsule. The soft capsule is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 60 to 80 parts of acer truncatum bunge seed oil, 10 to 25 parts of phospholipid, 6 to 8 parts of seville orange flower, 4 to 7 parts of lycium ruthenicum, and pharmaceutical excipients for the soft capsule. According to the capsule, a large amount of acetylcholine can be generated in a body, the content of the acetylcholine in a brain of an Alzheimer's disease patient is increased, and information conduction is enhanced, so as to activate brain cells and improve memory and intelligence level. The capsule contains natural nervonic acid; the nervonic acid is a unique chemical substance which is recognized in the present world and can be used for repairing damaged nerve fibers, and can promote repair and regeneration of the damaged nerve fibers, thereby improving the memory and the intelligence level. Meanwhile, the soft capsule also has the effects of improving the activity of NK cells and enhancing cellular immunity and humoral immunity, thereby improving human immune functions. The seville orange flower has the efficacy of activating Qi and easing middle jiao, and regulating Qi and soothing the liver, thereby relieving depressive symptoms of the Alzheimer's disease patient.

Head cover-type acupoint stimulation device for treating depressive sleep disorder with five-tone mind regulation

The invention discloses a head cover-type acupuncture point stimulation device for treating depressive sleep disorder by using five-tone mind regulation. The device comprises a main body and a connecting buckle plate, wherein a width adjusting mechanism is connected to the middle part of the main body; two sides of the width adjusting mechanism are provided with a headgear mechanism which is closeto the main body; and the buckle plate is arranged at the middle part of the headgear mechanism. The head cover-type acupuncture point stimulation device for treating depressive sleep disorder keepsa certain distance between the head of a patient and an earmuff mechanism, the patient is connected to a mobile phone APP through a Bluetooth device fixing sleeve, the tunes corresponding to syndrometype are selected, the corresponding brain wave stimulation is carried out on the brain through the different tunes, after the choice of the tunes is finished, the selection of the pulse emitter therapy is carried out and includes time and strength, the pulse wave stimulation is carried out on the corresponding selected acupuncture points, the related brain area is excited, the recovery and the remodeling of the related nerves are promoted, the sleep disorder and the depression symptoms are improved, and the side effect of drugs can be obviously reduced while the effective therapy is carried out.

Methods of Using Brain Temporal Dynamics

ActiveUS20180228419A1Reduce complexityElectroencephalographyElectrotherapyAutobiographical memoryCognitive response
Over 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression, a third of whom are medication resistant. Seizure therapy remains the most effective treatment in depression, even when many treatments fail. The utility of seizure therapy is limited due to its cognitive side effects and stigma. The biological targets of seizure therapy remain unknown, hindering design of new treatments with comparable efficacy. Seizures impact the brains temporal dynamicity observed through electroencephalography. This dynamicity reflects richness of information processing across distributed brain networks subserving affective and cognitive processes. We investigated the hypothesis that seizure therapy impacts mood (depressive symptoms) and cognition by modulating brain temporal dynamicity. We obtained resting-state EEG from thirty-four patients (age=46.0±14.0, 21 females) receiving two types of seizure treatments—electroconvulsive therapy or magnetic seizure therapy. We employed multi-scale entropy to quantify the complexity of brain's temporal dynamics before and after seizure therapy. We discovered that reduction of complexity in fine time scales underlined successful therapeutic response to both seizure treatments. Greater reduction in complexity of fine time scales in parieto-occipital and central brain regions was significantly linked with greater improvement in depressive symptoms. Greater increase in complexity of coarse time scales was associated with greater decline in cognition including the autobiographical memory. These findings were region- and time-scale specific. That is, change in complexity in occipital regions (e.g., O2 electrode or right occipital pole) at fine time-scales was only associated with change in depressive symptoms, and not change in cognition, and change in complexity in parieto-central regions (e.g., Pz electrode or intra and transparietal sulcus) at coarser time-scale was only associated with change in cognition, and not depressive symptoms. Finally, region and time-scale specific changes in complexity classified both antidepressant and cognitive response to seizure therapy with good (80%) and excellent (95%) accuracy, respectively. In this study, we discovered a novel biological target of seizure therapy; complexity of the brain resting-state dynamics. Region and time-scale dependent changes in complexity of the brain resting-state dynamics is a novel mechanistic marker of response to seizure therapy that explains both the antidepressant response and cognitive changes associated with this treatment. This marker has tremendous potential to guide design of the new generation of antidepressant treatments.
