摘要:

卒中后抑郁(PSD)的发生发展与大脑奖赏环路功能失调密切相关。卒中病灶若累及前额叶、基底节、丘脑等奖赏环路关键节点,破坏其结构与连接,引发神经网络功能失调及单胺类神经递质系统紊乱。同时,神经炎症、神经营养因子失衡及谷氨酸兴奋毒性共同加剧环路损伤,最终表现为以动机缺乏与快感缺失为核心的症状群。针刺通过多靶点起效的作用特点,符合PSD这一多病因、多系统失调的情感障碍特征。该文基于奖赏环路,系统梳理针刺通过恢复神经网络功能、促进单胺类神经递质与神经营养因子的分泌、抑制神经炎症与谷氨酸兴奋毒性实现对PSD的整体性改善,以期为临床治疗提供更可靠的理论支撑与实践指导。

Abstract:

The occurrence and development of post-stroke depression (PSD) are intricately associated with the dysfunction of the brain's reward circuit. When a stroke lesion affects crucial nodes of the reward circuit, including the prefrontal lobe, basal ganglia, and thalamus, it can disrupt their structure and connectivity, resulting in the malfunction of the neural network and the dysregulation of monoamine neurotransmitter systems. Simultaneously, neuroinflammation, the imbalance of neurotrophic factors, and glutamate excitotoxicity collectively exacerbate the damage to the circuit, ultimately presenting as a symptom cluster characterized by lack of motivation and anhedonia. The multi-target effect characteristics of acupuncture align well with the multi-cause and multi-system disorder features of PSD, an emotional disorder. Based on the reward circuit, this article systematically reviews how acupuncture attains an overall improvement of PSD by restoring the function of the neural network, facilitating the secretion of monoamine neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors, and suppressing neuroinflammation and glutamate excitotoxicity, aiming to offer more reliable theoretical support and practical guidance for clinical treatment.
