China Brain Health Day: Cherish brain health, have brain disease must be normal treatment

China-new Guangdong network Shenzhen, September 15 (Niffifei) September 16 is the Chinese brain Health Day, Shenzhen second People's Hospital, deputy dean of neurosurgery expert Li Weiping, said that the value of brain health, prevention of brain disease, age, sex, occupation, region.

Brain function is both important and mysterious

Li Weiping pointed out: the function of the human brain is both important and mysterious. People's thoughts, beliefs, memories, behavior, emotions are inseparable from the brain. The human brain is the place of thinking formation, control the body of various physiological activities of the central, but also have the coordination of body movements, physical feelings, vision, hearing, smell of the ability. It is because of the brain that people are able to speak, count, compose, appreciate music, recognize geometry, understand each other and communicate with each other. The brain also has the ability to plan and visualize.

Some people compare computers to brains, but so far no computer has the ability to compare with the brain. The brain is not a "perpetual motion", and the brain needs continuous blood to supply the oxygen and nutrients needed for brain tissue. In general, the heart's output of about 1/5 of the blood supplies the brain. If the blood supply is interrupted for more than 10 seconds, the person may lose consciousness.   Blood oxygen, blood sugar level is too low or the blood contains poisonous harmful substance, can cause brain function abnormality in a few seconds. The normal structure of the brain consists of three parts. Including the top brain, the posterior cerebellum, the middle slender part of the brainstem. The function of each part of the brain is different, for example, the brain mainly manages people's emotions, thinking, memory and language, as well as physical movement and sensation. cerebellar management of human body balance and movement of coordination, the brain stem is the human body to maintain a sober state of the channel, but also the center of Life Activities, management of the human body's blood pressure, breathing, while managing the head of most of the facial organs movement and feeling. The normal brain is divided into about two hemispheres, which dominate the movement and sensation of the contralateral body and limb, the brain has a specific functional area, and some areas are mainly the movement of the limbs, and some of the region mainly tube the feeling of limb. Occipital lobe is mainly the visual field of human vision, this place is the function of people's writing, this area is the function of human language management. In addition, the nervous system has 1000多亿个 neurons, which pass through the nerve fibers throughout the body, forming networks that connect the brain to the parts of the body, or to each other.

When the health of the brain loses its balance ...

Li Weiping says the nervous system is a very complex communication system that can accept or transmit a lot of information, which is susceptible to damage and disease. Neuronal degeneration can cause Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, and brain and spinal infections can cause encephalitis or meningitis, and disruption of brain blood supply can cause stroke, trauma or tumors that can cause brain and spinal cord damage. Some parts of the brain if broken, people will not comb their own hair, wash their face, and some places broken, people will not read. Brain so many areas, in charge of the function is not the same, brain damage of different parts, performance is not the same, once a series of clinical manifestations appear, it should be highly vigilant brain tissue disease.

Got encephalopathy must be treated properly

Li Weiping pointed out that patients with various types of encephalopathy, because each person's etiology is different, so the treatment method is also different, but must establish the disease early treatment, no sickness prevention concept.

If has the brain disease, must go to the regular specialized hospital or three class big hospital to receive the system treatment, absolutely cannot "sick disorderly desperately". In the present situation, the choice of scientific, effective treatment is to prevent the protection of brain disease. To the specialist hospital to receive formal, systematic, standardized and personalized treatment, is to achieve satisfactory curative effect of the best choice. Patients to a brain specialist hospital, the following benefits: The specialist hospital has the relatively fixed, has the exquisite treatment technology specialized physician, as long as the patient and the family member actively cooperate, can achieve the high cure rate and the ideal curative effect; specialist hospitals have professional inspection equipment, unified diagnostic standards, can be in-depth analysis of treatment and research, According to the specific characteristics of a patient's condition, the development of personalized, targeted treatment plans and programmes; The hospital set up a corresponding, unified standard of medical records and cards, can adjust the treatment plan in time, for the patient's treatment and research to provide convenient; specialized hospitals actively publicize the science of prevention and treatment of encephalopathy, can provide the reasonable suggestion for the patient's life; specialist in the timely guidance of patients with medication, dosage, usage and medication during the coordination, surgery, and related matters of concern, so that the patient's condition can be under the strict observation of physicians; Specialty hospital specialized research direction is more refined, the treatment disease kind single, the case number is many, Can launch new technology faster, continuously improve the level of specialist treatment; The hospital has established a perfect follow-up system, which can provide full help and rehabilitation instruction for patients before and after hospitalization.

Specifically, a common intracranial tumor, for example, accounts for about 10% of intracranial tumors. The clinical manifestation depends on the discovery of the tumor sooner or later. Early pituitary micro-adenoma mostly endocrine symptoms, female performance menstrual disorders, infertility, lactation, male performance of impotence and other sexual dysfunction. Pituitary adenoma can compress the nerve structure after growing up, and have the symptom such as eyesight, vision impairment, headache and so on. Because the diameter of the tumor can be initially several millimeters to a maximum of several centimeters; the relationship between tumor and normal pituitary tissue, visual crossover and optic nerve is different. Tumor tissue can secrete growth hormone, prolactin, gonadotropin, and some tumors do not secrete hormones only have tumor occupying role. Therefore, for the treatment of pituitary adenoma, we must choose the appropriate individualized treatment plan for each patient's specific condition. For example, some cancers can be treated with drugs, while others require surgical treatment. Surgical treatment can be divided into transcranial surgery and transsphenoidal sinus surgery. Therefore, to achieve the ideal treatment effect, not only can control the disease, eliminate the adverse effects of tumor on the human body, but also to retain normal pituitary function, therefore, to the specialist hospital treatment is a clear choice of brain disease patients.

Other brain diseases, such as: for epileptic patients, if unable to find the cause, the cause is not easy to treat or can not be completely cured, should use antiepileptic drugs to prevent further attacks, if certain brain disease lesions for epilepsy etiology, and the scope of small, surgical resection of lesions can reduce seizures. For patients with stroke, rapid treatment can sometimes reduce the disease and prevent further development, especially in the first few hours.

In a word, with the development of the knowledge economy era, the brain health problem of human brain has become the focus of the developed world. The United States proposed "Decade of the Brain", Japan put forward "understanding of the brain, protect the brain, create the brain," the slogan, the Japanese Brain Research Institute to reveal brain function, overcome brain disease and develop artificial intelligence as the backbone. Entering the 21st century, brain health will be closely combined with knowledge economy, and our country has introduced the concept of "brain health" to the society.

Special links: Old people often drink water cough beware of stroke

Usually drink water, most people have been drinking too fast or too fierce and choked to the experience, ordinary people will not take him seriously, but the doctor suggested that if the elderly often happen to drink water cough, should be wary of stroke.

Li Weiping that swallowing dysfunction is a common complication of stroke patients, and drinking water cough is one of the most obvious manifestations of deglutition dysfunction. Biologically speaking, the cough of drinking water is mainly due to the poor maintenance of the oral period, delayed swallowing, dysphagia, and weak palate movement. But the cerebral apoplexy patient causes the drinking water cough, is the medullary swallowing center damage, causes the ball paralysis or the bilateral cortical brain stem bundle damage causes the false ball paralysis. Bulbar paralysis affects the lesion of the medulla oblongata swallowing, which causes the swallowing nerve reflex delay in pharynx. Pseudo-bulbar paralysis can cause severe oral stage obstruction, inhibit neuronal axon regeneration, neuronal channel is not smooth, causing the wrong pharynx, but also cause aspiration pneumonia and other diseases.

Doctors suggest that elderly people over 60 years of age, when eating food when the difficulty of swallowing, or drinking tea often occurs cough, can not only think of oral and esophageal diseases, but also vigilant cardiovascular stroke complications.
