Als neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (griechisch νέυρο-, néuro-, „Nerv[en]-" und lateinisch dēgenerāre, „aus-" oder „entarten") bezeichnet man eine Gruppe von meist langsam fortschreitenden, erblichen oder sporadisch auftretenden Erkrankungen des Nervensystems. Hauptmerkmal ist der fortschreitende Verlust von Nervenzellen (Neurodegneration), der zu verschiedenen neurologischen Symptomen – darunter häufig zu Demenz und Bewegungsstörungen – führt. Die Erkrankungen können in unterschiedlichen Lebensaltern auftreten, verlaufen diffus oder generalisiert und rufen charakteristische histologische Schädigungsmuster hervor.

Quecksilber: eine mögliche Ursache für Alzheimer Demenz
(15.11.2010) Quecksilber könnte eine der verschiedenen Ursachen von Alzheimer Demenz sein. Das ist das Ergebnis einer systematischen Literaturübersicht die am 15.November im Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease publiziert wurde. Forscher von der Europa-Universität Viadrina, dem Samueli Institut, der Northeastern University, Boston und ehemals an der Universitätsklinik Freiburg sichteten die gesamte experimentelle und klinische Literatur systematisch.
Quecksilber ist eine der giftigsten natürlich vorkommenden Substanzen. Es ist gefährlich für Menschen und könnte zu neurodegenerativen Krankheiten wie Alzheimer Demenz führen, weil es bei Raumtemperatur verdampft und als Gas aufgenommen wird. So gelangt es über Nase und Blut direkt ins Gehirn. Quecksilber kann die Blut-Hirnschranke ungehindert passieren und wird innerhalb des Gehirns festgehalten. Dort kann es sich über die Lebenszeit hinweg ansammeln.
Richard Deth, einer der Koautoren, stellte ein Modell vor, in dem die Wirkweisen von Quecksilber mit den wichtigsten Zeichen der Alzheimer Erkrankung kausal verknüpft wird. Quecksilber bindet sich fest an Selen. Selenhaltige Proteine gehören zu einer Klasse von Molekülen die der Körper verwendet um Schaden, der durch Stoffwechselprozesse im Gehirn entsteht, den sog. oxidativen Stress, abzufangen. Dieser führt zu Alterung und schließlich Tod der Zelle. Wenn Quecksilber sich an Selen bindet, werden diese Prozesse beschleunigt.
Die Form des Quecksilbers, die untersucht wurde ist das metallische Quecksilber, das z.B. kontinuierlich von Amalgamfüllungen in Zähnen ausdampft. Solche Amalgamfüllungen enthalten 50% Quecksilber und Menschen mit solchen Füllungen nehmen etwa 1-22 Mikrogramm Quecksilber pro Tag auf. Das meiste davon wird in den Körper und ins Gehirn aufgenommen und verbleibt dort. Das ist mehr als zehnmal soviel Quecksilber als durch regelmäßiges Essen von Fisch aufgenommen wird. Milliarden von Menschen haben solche Amalgamfüllungen und haben deswegen ein erhöhtes Risiko für giftige Folgeschäden.
Die experimentelle Forschung an Tieren und Zellmodellen kann alle Zeichen der Alzheimer Demenz reproduzieren. Studien über niedrig-dosierte Exposition, etwa bei Zahnärzten zeigen, dass Quecksilber zu kognitiven Einbussen führt. Allerdings fehlen gute Langzeitstudien. Die Situation ist ähnlich wie die bezüglich der Schädlichkeit von Rauchen zu Beginn der 70er Jahre: es gab genügend experimentelle Befunde, aber klinische Studien am Menschen waren unklar. Zu warten bis die Beweislage absolut wasserdicht ist, sei die falsche Strategie, meinen die Forscher, angesichts dessen, was wir alles über die Giftigkeit von Quecksilber wissen. Anorganisches, metallisches Quecksilber sollte aus unseren ökologischen Kreisläufen entfernt werden, um Alzheimer Demenz zu verhüten.

EERC-Led Study Addresses Critical Potential Public Health Risks Related to Pesticide Exposure
July 27, 2006
(GRAND FORKS, NORTH DAKOTA) -- Preliminary results of a project to reduce health risks from pesticide exposure, led by the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota (UND), verify that exposure to pesticides can induce pathological changes to the nervous system. The pesticide impact program is a strategic effort between the EERC, the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the College of Nursing, the Psychology Department, and several state and federal agencies.
The EERC team is evaluating how humans are exposed to pesticides so strategies can be developed to reduce health effects for at-risk populations.
"The results of this study are phenomenally relevant to our region and have global implications," said EERC Director Gerald Groenewold. "North Dakota is the perfect laboratory to perform this testing as the state's main industry is agriculture. Airborne pesticides are more prevalent in our state relative to other classes of pollutants, which makes their effects easier to detect." ....

Alzheimer's disease with secondary Parkinson's syndrome.
Case report of a patient with dementia and Parkinson's syndrome after long-term occupational exposure to insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides][Article in German]
Laske C, Wormstall H, Einsiedler K, Buchkremer G. Universitatsklinik fur Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie Tubingen.
Nervenarzt. 2004 Nov;75(11):1107-11.
This case report describes long-term occupational exposure to agricultural insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides as possible environmental risk factors of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's syndrome in a 59-year-old man. Initially the patient complained about disturbances in concentration, mnestic deficits, and problems finding words. In the further course of the disease, he developed Parkinson's syndrome with predominant hypokinesia and rigor in addition to mild-to-moderate dementia. Low levels of beta-amyloid 1-42 were found in the CSF. Electroencephalography showed left frontotemporal theta waves. Cranial MRI revealed general brain atrophy with a maximum biparietally. In cerebral positron emission tomography, general hypometabolism was found with maxima biparietally and left frontally. The possible differential diagnosis of AD and Parkinson's syndrome is discussed.

Uncalculated Risks in Some Pesticides, UCR Study Finds
Some Compounds Show Dramatic Differences in Toxicity And Rate of Break Down Between Isomers
(January 13, 2005)
RIVERSIDE, Calif. – www.ucr.edu – Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have demonstrated that isomers – or the mirror-image structures – of some pesticides, although chemically identical, have very different biological and environmental impacts between the two sides. This may have significant implications for risk assessment and research and development directions of new products.

Can Dementia Be Prevented? Brain Aging in a Population-Based Context

As a consequence of global aging of the human population, the occurrence of cognitive impairment and dementia is rapidly becoming a significant burden for medical care and public health systems. By the year 2020, the WHO predicts there will be nearly 29 million demented people in both developed and developing countries. Primary and secondary prevention of dementia through individual and population-level interventions could reduce this imminent risk. Vascular risk factors such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dietary fat intake, high cholesterol, and obesity have emerged as important influences on the risk of both vascular and Alzheimer's dementia. Understanding the reasons for differences between populations in genetic vulnerability and environmental exposures may help to identify modifiable risk factors that may lead to effective prevention of vascular and Alzheimer's dementia. ... https://www.annualreviews.org
Anmerkung Scherrmann:
Ich fände es wichtig,
- dass Schadstoffe als mögliche Ursache bei neurogenerativen Erkrankungen mehr im Fokus der Diskussion und Forschung stehen und
- dass Präventions-Maßnahmen im Sinne einer Schadstoff-Reduktion einen deutlich höheren Stellenwert in Wissenschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft bekommen.
