RESUMO
Metabolic abnormality in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)can cause damage to the central nervous system,leading to cognitive decline.Neurofilament light chain protein(NFL),as a blood marker of neuroaxonal injuries,is significantly associated with the onset of cognitive impairment and affected by the renal function.It can participate in the development of cognitive impairment in T2DM through inflammation,blood-brain barrier breakdown,interaction between microglia and neurons,and Tau protein phosphorylation.We reviewed the mechanism of the occurrence and development of NFL-involved cognitive impairment and the correlation between NFL and renal function in T2DM,hoping to provide a basis for early diagnosis and treatment of cognitive impairment in T2DM patients.

Neurological diseases include a variety of neurodegenerative diseases and other brain damage diseases.The treatment schemes for neurological diseases are still in research.The existing clinical and basic studies have confirmed that traditional estrogen therapy has certain protective effect on the nervous system,while it increases the risk of breast or endometrial cancer.The emergence of the selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) can avoid the above mentioned problems.The available studies have confirmed the protective effect of tamoxifen as a SERM on the nervous system.This paper reviews the role and functioning mechanisms of tamoxifen in the nervous system and cognitive function,aiming to provide guidance for the future application of tamoxifen in the treatment of neurological diseases and the improvement of cognitive function.
