How does TCM treat myelin dysplasia?

Dysmyelination is a condition caused by demyelination, also known as demyelinating encephalopathy. This disease is more common in children at a young age, and the condition is very complex and easy**, adding a great burden to many children and parents. **Mainly the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine**, immune and anti-inflammatory**, nutritional nerves**, etc., to regularly evaluate the development of the child's nervous system, according to the situation to choose the right one, so as to appropriately improve the child's prognosis.

Myelin dysplasia usually doesn't get cured. Myelin dysplasia is usually caused by chromosomal abnormalities, genetic mutations and other factors, resulting in the failure of the myelin structure of the white matter of the brain to develop normally during the development of infants and young children, resulting in impaired nerve conduction function, which can lead to brain development disorders in children, accompanied by motor dysfunction and limited activity. Once the disease occurs, it is irreversible, and can only improve the symptoms through drugs and training, and try to improve the quality of life of the child.

1. Drugs**: For myelin dysplasia, glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone acetate tablets, can play an anti-inflammatory and inhibition of immune response. Drugs that nourish nerve cells, such as vitamin B12 tablets, can also be used to promote the development of nerve cells; If there are secondary seizures, antiepileptic drugs such as sodium valproate tablets and carbamazepine tablets can be used to control seizures and avoid further damage to brain tissue;

2. Training: mainly including physical exercise training, skill training, language training, etc. It is mainly for the correct guidance of various movement disorders and abnormal postures of children, and to improve abnormal motor reflexes as much as possible.

Focus on fine motor training of the upper limbs and hands to improve children's life skills. In addition, it is necessary to carry out collaborative correction training for the child's language, pronunciation, and chewing and swallowing functions to improve the quality of life of the child as much as possible.

Women should strengthen prenatal examination during pregnancy to facilitate timely detection of abnormal conditions and facilitate early symptomatic treatment. Once it is confirmed that infants and young children have myelin dysplasia, they should actively cooperate with doctors to carry out medication** and functional ** training as soon as possible, and strive to maximize improvement and recovery.

Because the causes of the disease caused by delayed myelination are different, the effect is not particularly obvious, and individual symptoms will be partially relieved after control, and the effect may also vary greatly.

Normally, the myelin sheath is a membrane that wraps around the axons of nerve cells, acting as an insulating membrane. The first is to support the electrical insulation of axons from surrounding tissues, such as two adjacent axons, so as not to interfere with each other. At the same time, it can be called a skipping conduction mechanism that accelerates the transmission of electrical action potentials and can guide axonal regeneration in the case of axon damage.

If there may be a delay in development under the influence of the disease, some metabolic diseases or multiple sclerosis will have abnormal myelin development, and some diseases can be partially relieved with the improvement of the disease. For example, phenylketonuria may have a delay in myelination, and there will be a partial remission after **. The improvement of some diseases is not obvious, such as multiple sclerosis, which is also degenerative and aggravated, and it is not easy to alleviate it.

Once delayed myelin development is detected, it is recommended that the patient go to a regular hospital for examination, and magnetic resonance imaging can be used to find typical imaging features. Patients can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as foods that are high in vitamins.

There is no good way to have myelin dysplasia in the true sense. The myelin sheath is a structure that surrounds the axons of nerve fibers on the outside of nerve fibers, mainly to protect nerve axons and enhance the electrical conduction of nerves. Because the electrical conduction of nerves, in the process of myelin conduction, is skipping conduction, which can accelerate the conduction of nerves and accelerate the transmission of nerve signals.

The synthesis step of the nerve myelin sheath requires more than 30 biochemical reactions, and requires the assistance of a variety of chemicals and coenzymes to complete.

If the congenital dysplasia of myelin in the true sense is generally an enzyme defect, or an enzyme defect required for a certain reaction, or a synthase defect of a substance, or a defect in the action point of a certain coenzyme, if the enzyme defect is congenital, there is basically no solution. If congenital demyelination is diagnosed, the disease will basically last for life, and most of the myelin diseases will have severe neurological deficits, and most patients will have a relatively short lifespan.

The so-called malmyelination, also known as leukodystrophy, is often a disorder in the growth and development of the myelin sheath itself, which occurs in childhood at the age of 1-2 years. The most common is adrenoleukodystrophy, and the clinical manifestations include emotional agitation, inflexible movement, muscle dysplasia, convulsions, paralysis of limbs in the early stage, and muscle stiffness and angular arch reflexion in the late stage. This is a hereditary, chromosomal lesion, is a very professional disease, often very tricky, so it should be detected early, early, can achieve the effect of controlling the development of the disease.

Myelin sheath refers to the nerve is the part of the nerve conduction tract outside the gray matter, if there is dysplasia, also known as leukodystrophy, it is a lesion caused by the normal development of the white matter myelin sheath of the brain. It is usually seen in childhood and adolescence and is often related to genetic factors, also known as leukodystrophy.

It is mostly manifested as easy excitability, dementia, and inflexibility of limb movement, and then it will be manifested as a gradual decrease in muscle tone throughout the body, and then an increase, which is caused by the dysfunction of the conduction tract in the white matter, and there will be limb paralysis, progressive movement disorders, etc. If this symptom appears, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations, and the diagnosis will be clear and the corresponding ** will be given.

Myelin is the myelin membrane tightly wrapped around the myelin axons of myelinated nerves, and the common causes of myelin dysplasia include genetic factors, acquired factors, etc. Generally, it is necessary to select the best plan according to the specific severity to prevent the function from being affected in the later stage.

1. Hereditary factors: some central nervous system diseases have a certain genetic phenomenon, if the parents have a hereditary disease of the primary central nervous system and have the problem of myelin dysplasia, usually the incidence probability of children will increase, resulting in the problem of myelin dysplasia, which is mainly related to genetic factors;

2. Acquired factors: If there are abnormal pathological changes in the brain, such as cerebral hemorrhage, intracranial infection, ischemic and hypoxic encephalopathy, etc., it will usually directly cause brain tissue damage, which can easily lead to ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue, resulting in abnormal brain metabolic function. It usually directly affects the development of brain tissue, and it is easy to have abnormal development of the nerve center during growth and development, resulting in the manifestation of myelin dysplasia.

When myelin dysplasia occurs, it may cause symptoms of cerebral palsy, and it is recommended to diagnose it early and clarify it under the guidance of a doctor**, which can improve the condition. In the later stage, it is necessary to adhere to comprehensive training, such as sports, sensory integration training, etc.

There will always be various diseases in life, and if you don't see them in the hospital, there are many diseases that ordinary people can't imagine. For example, myelin dysplasia is an uncommon disease, and most people in life are not clear about this disease, so let's understand why myelin dysplasia?

Myelin dysplasia is a disease that belongs to the category of neurodevelopmental abnormalities, which is hereditary and related to the lack of amniotic fluid during the fetal period. If there is a lack of oxygen in the brain after the fetus is born, it will also lead to myelin dysplasia. There are also some premature babies who are plagued by this disease because of congenital dysplasia, or have dystocia during childbirth, which can cause this disease.

The myelin sheath is actually the outer shell that protects the central nervous system of the brain, and if the myelin sheath is underdeveloped, it means that the outer shell that protects the central nervous system of the brain is malformed. The disease progresses gradually, and there are no obvious symptoms in the early stages. As the disease progresses, patients will experience symptoms such as abnormal muscle tone and abnormal language function.

For patients with this disease, it must be done as soon as possible, if the disease is not timed, the disease will accompany the patient for a lifetime. However, the specific method should be decided according to the cause of the disease, and drugs to nourish the nerves are essential, and at the same time, it must be combined with training to allow patients to maintain a normal life.

Whether myelin dysplasia can heal on its own depends on how soon or late it is detected. If it is detected early, it has been found that there is myelin dysplasia when the child is 1-2 years old, at this time, early intervention, give the child oral drugs to promote brain development and nutrition nerves, as the child grows older, some children can gradually develop and mature the myelin sheath and catch up with children of the same age.

If myelin dysplasia is detected after 5-6 years of age, the likelihood of this condition is very small. Because once the brain cells of an older child have gradually matured, the probability of recovery is very low, and myelin dysplasia may affect the child's intelligence, and may even cause seizures, which will affect the child's quality of life to a certain extent.

The definition of cerebral myelin dysplasia is that cerebral myelin dysplasia is a relatively common brain disease, when children suffer from this disease, it will have a lot of impact on physical health, there are many reasons, the first is due to the influence of genetic factors or local defects, resulting in myelination disorders, which affect the development of cerebral white matter and cause delayed development of cerebral myelin. Second, delayed development of the cerebral myelin sheath is a manifestation of cerebral dysplasia, which occurs due to respiratory distress at birth and hypoxia of the brain, with a main emphasis on the early integrated system**.

Cerebral myelin dysplasia is brain development delay, and most of them will have backward manifestations in gross motor, language, cognition, etc. For example, at the age of 4 months, there is still no social behavior with others, that is, they will not be amused, they cannot make eye contact with others, and they cannot follow people walking around with their eyes; Does not roll over at 6 months of age; At 9 months of age, he still does not sit alone; Inability to use words or gestures to express one's needs at the age of one; At the age of one and a half, they still can't walk alone, etc., all of which are manifestations of backward development of the cerebral myelin sheath. Combined with high-risk factors before, during, or after birth, such as premature infants, cerebral hypoxia, etc.

It is important not to neglect the development of your child's motor skills when intervening in your child. Because motor development plays a very important role in the development of our sensory system, concentration and thinking! In particular, the children's motor ability in the school must be greater than the cognitive intervention, because our cognition and thinking can also be carried out at the same time as children's motor and sensory exercises, and they are also in such an environment to enhance their desire to actively explore.
