Complementary and alternative medicine on cognitive defects and neuroinflammation after sepsis
J Tradit Chin Med. 2024 Apr;44(2):408-416. doi: 10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.20240203.002.ABSTRACTSepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common manifestation of sepsis, ranging from mild confusion and delirium to severe cognitive impairment and deep coma. SAE is associated with higher mortality and long-term outcomes, particularly substantial declines in cognitive function. The mechanisms of SAE probably include neuroinflammation that is mediated by systemic inflammation and ischemic lesions in the brain, a disrupted blood-brain barrier, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter dysfunction, and severe microglial activation. Increas...
