Condition: Alzheimer Disease · Parkinson Disease · Sponsor: Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are characterized by pathological protein accumulation in the brain-Aβ/tau in AD and α-synuclein in PD. Recent studies have indicated that age-related lymphatic vessel atrophy compromises the metabolic clearance capacity of meningeal lymphatic vessels, potentially disrupting the equilibrium between production and clearance of Aβ/α-synuclein, ultimately leading to pathological accumulation of these proteins within the brain. Deep cervical lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA), a surgical technique proven effective in restoring lymphatic drainage in lymphedema, may enhance clearance of neurotoxic proteins by improving cervical lymphatic outflow. This project aims to evaluate the efficacy of modified deep cervical LVA in treating AD and PD, establishing a novel therapeutic strategy to modify disease progression and improve quality of life in neurodegenerative disorders, additionally offering the pathogenic mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders.
