Abstract
INTRODUCTION The number of elderly patients who require surgery as their primary treatment has increased rapidly in recent years. Among 300 million people globally who underwent surgery every year, patients aged 65 years and over accounted for more than 30% of cases. Despite medical advances, older patients remain at higher risk of postoperative complications. Early diagnosis and effective prediction are essential requirements for preventing serious postoperative complications. In this study, we aim to provide new biomarker combinations to predict the incidence of postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admissions > 24 h in elderly patients. METHODS This investigation was conducted as a nested case-control study, incorporating 413 participants aged ≥ 65 years who underwent non-cardiac, non-urological elective surgeries. These individuals underwent a 30-day postoperative follow-up. Before surgery, peripheral venous blood was collected for analyzing serum creatinine (Scr), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP). The efficacy of these biomarkers in predicting postoperative complications was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and area under the curve (AUC) values. RESULTS Postoperatively, 10 patients (2.42%) required ICU admission. Regarding ICU admissions, the AUCs with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the biomarker combinations of Scr × PCT and Scr × CRP were 0.750 (0.655-0.845, P = 0.007) and 0.724 (0.567-0.882, P = 0.015), respectively. Furthermore, cardiovascular events were observed in 14 patients (3.39%). The AUC with a 95% CI for the combination of Scr × CRP in predicting cardiovascular events was 0.688 (0.560-0.817, P = 0.017). CONCLUSION The innovative combinations of biomarkers (Scr × PCT and Scr × CRP) demonstrated efficacy as predictors for postoperative ICU admissions in elderly patients. Additionally, the Scr × CRP also had a moderate predictive value for postoperative cardiovascular events. TRIAL REGISTRATION China Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR1900026223.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We assessed the efficiency of intravenous adjuvants in decreasing opioid intake and pain scores after spine fusion surgery. METHODS This study included 120 patients aged 18-60 listed for spine fusion surgery under general anesthesia. Patients were randomly assigned to four groups: Group (Lidocaine): received IV lidocaine 4 mg/kg in 50 mL volume over 30 min. Group (Magnesium): received IV magnesium sulfate 30mg/kg in 50 mL volume over 30 min. Group (combined Lidocaine and Magnesium): received IV lidocaine 4 mg/kg in 50 mL volume over 30 min.+IV magnesium sulfate 30mg/kg in 50 mL volume over 30 min. Group (Control): received IV saline 50 mL. The time to the first request analgesia, the postoperative pain score, total analgesic use, patient satisfaction, anxiety, depression, mental state, quality of life, and side effects were measured. RESULTS The combined group had more extended time for the first analgesic request and fewer rescue analgesia doses than the other groups. NRS scores at rest or movement were statistically significantly lower in the lidocaine group and the combined group compared to the control group (P1, P3<0.05) at almost all times. This combination reduces anxiety and depression and improves overall health up to three months after a single infusion. The combined group had higher patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS A synergistic effect of a combination of lidocaine and magnesium sulfate on perioperative pain was found. It reduces analgesic consumption, depression, and anxiety and improves overall health up to three months after a single infusion dose.

Abstract
Understanding the pathophysiology of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is critical for advancing treatment options. This review explores the novel hypothesis that a herpesvirus infection of endothelial cells (ECs) may underlie ME/CFS symptomatology. We review evidence linking herpesviruses to persistent EC infection and the implications for endothelial dysfunction, encompassing blood flow regulation, coagulation, and cognitive impairment-symptoms consistent with ME/CFS and Long COVID. This paper provides a synthesis of current research on herpesvirus latency and reactivation, detailing the impact on ECs and subsequent systemic complications, including latent modulation and long-term maladaptation. We suggest that the chronicity of ME/CFS symptoms and the multisystemic nature of the disease may be partly attributable to herpesvirus-induced endothelial maladaptation. Our conclusions underscore the necessity for further investigation into the prevalence and load of herpesvirus infection within the ECs of ME/CFS patients. This review offers conceptual advances by proposing an endothelial infection model as a systemic mechanism contributing to ME/CFS, steering future research toward potentially unexplored avenues in understanding and treating this complex syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether central sensitization (CS) in elderly patients was a predictive risk factor for postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PNCD). METHODS One hundred and thirty-three aged patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who received femoral nerve block and general anesthesia were recruited in this research and prospectively assigned into two groups according to the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) score: group C (n = 106, CSI score less than 40) and group CS (n = 27, CSI score higher than 40). Scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40) questionnaires were assessed. Basic information and clinical records of all participants were also collected. RESULTS PNCD occurred in 24 (22.6%) of patients in group C and 16 (59.3%) in group CS (p < .05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with CSI score ≥40 before surgery exhibited higher risk of PNCD after adjustment for other risk factors (p < .05). Compared to group C, the pre- and post-operative NRS scores, pain duration, the WOMAC score, and propofol consumptions for anesthesia induction were significantly increased in group CS (p < .05). CONCLUSION Hospitalized elderly patients with clinical symptoms of CS scores may have increased risk of PNCD following TKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little is known about the correlation between perioperative concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers and postoperative complications. This study explored whether the plasma concentrations and perioperative changes of procalcitonin (PCT), C reactive protein (CRP) and high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) could predict the risk of postoperative morbidity in elderly patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. DESIGN A nested case-control study. SETTING A tertiary hospital in China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 498 patients aged ≥65 years from a prospective cohort who underwent elective non-cardiac surgery between June 2020 and April 2021. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes were the efficacy of plasma concentrations of PCT, CRP and hsCRP in predicting the risk of Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) ≥grade 3 and major complications. The major complications included mortality, an intensive care unit stay length >24 hour, cardiovascular events, acute kidney injury, postoperative cognitive dysfunction and infections. RESULTS For major complications, the area under the curve (AUC) (95% CI) of PCT-24 hours, PCT change and PCT change rate were 0.750 (0.698 to 0.803), 0.740 (0.686 to 0.795) and 0.711 (0.651 to 0.771), respectively. The AUC (95% CI) of CRP-24 hours, CRP change, CRP change rate and hsCRP baseline were 0.835 (0.789 to 0.881), 0.818 (0.770 to 0.867), 0.691 (0.625 to 0.756) and 0.616 (0.554 to 0.678), respectively. For complications ≥CDC grade 3, the AUC (95% CI) of PCT-24 hours, PCT change and PCT change rate were 0.662 (0.543 to 0.780), 0.643 (0.514 to 0.772) and 0.627 (0.494 to 0.761), respectively. The AUC (95% CI) of CRP-24 hours and hsCRP baseline were 0.649 (0.527 to 0.771) and 0.639 (0.530 to 0.748), respectively. CONCLUSIONS PCT-24 hours, CRP-24 hours, the change of perioperative PCT and CRP were valuable predictors of major complications occurring within 30 days after non-cardiac surgery in the elderly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous shreds of evidence have suggested that ambient air pollution is negatively associated with cognitive health among older adults, but whether indoor air pollutants such as cooking fuel, tobacco smoke, and incense burning exposure affect the cognitive score is unknown, especially in limited-resource areas. METHOD The study has utilized the recently released data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI), Wave 1, conducted from 2017 to 2018. A total of 63,883 (≥45 years) older adults were considered for the analysis. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis and ordinary least squares regression were employed in the study. RESULTS The estimated mean cognitive score was 25.4 and the percentage of solid fuel users was 45.6 in India. The cognitive score gap between the two groups was more remarkable in Tamil Nadu (clean fuels: 29.7; solid fuels: 23.9). A significant cognitive score gap was observed for all indoor air pollutants, i.e., cooking fuel (clean: 29.7 and solid fuels: 23.9), exposure to tobacco smoke (not exposed: 25.7 and exposed: 24.4), and exposure to daily incense burning (not exposed: 25.9 and exposed: 24.8). The unadjusted model found that a one-unit increase of using charcoal/lignite/coal reduces the cognitive score by 5 (95% CI: -5.36, -4.61). A similar effect of exposure to tobacco smoke (β = -0.79, 95% CI: -0.89, -0.68) and incense burning (β = -0.28, 95% CI: -0.30, -0.26) was explored in the study. After adjusting socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, indoor air pollution was found to be a significant determinant of cognitive health. CONCLUSIONS The study has identified exposure to indoor air pollution as a risk factor for cognitive impairment among older adults. Therefore, we suggest an urgent need of promoting existing schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana and creating awareness about the adverse effects of indoor air pollutants for a better future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify predictive biomarkers of perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PND) in cerebrospinal fluid of elderly male patients undergoing elective transurethral resection of prostate, using an isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitative-based quantitative proteomic approach. METHODS Patients were evaluated with Mini Mental State Examination at -1 and+3 days of operation. Presence of PND was determined with Z-score method. Patients characteristics and quantitative cerebrospinal fluid proteomes detected with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitative-were compared between PND and non-PND patients. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis were performed to identify pathways potentially involved in PND. RESULT A total of 229 patients were included in the study and 32 were diagnosed with PND (incidence 14.4%). The age, incidence of hypertension, and diabetes of PND patients were significantly higher than non-PND patients (P < .05). There were 85 differentially expressed proteins identified, among which High Mobility Group Box 1, prostaglandin D synthase, and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor were considered to be promising candidates as they might play important roles in pathophysiology of PND. CONCLUSION Proteomic approach identified potential biomarkers for predicting the occurrence of PND. These findings need to be validated in further studies.

Abstract
Worldwide, the prevalence of surgery under general anesthesia has significantly increased, both because of modern anesthetic and pain-control techniques and because of better diagnosis and the increased complexity of surgical techniques. Apart from developing new concepts in the surgical field, researchers and clinicians are now working on minimizing the impact of surgical trauma and offering minimal invasive procedures due to the recent discoveries in the field of cellular and molecular mechanisms that have revealed a systemic inflammatory and pro-oxidative impact not only in the perioperative period but also in the long term, contributing to more difficult recovery, increased morbidity and mortality, and a negative financial impact. Detailed molecular and cellular analysis has shown an overproduction of inflammatory and pro-oxidative species, responsible for augmenting the systemic inflammatory status and making postoperative recovery more difficult. Moreover, there are a series of changes in certain epigenetic structures, the most important being the microRNAs. This review describes the most important molecular and cellular mechanisms that impact the surgical patient undergoing general anesthesia, and it presents a series of antioxidant therapies that can reduce systemic inflammation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative delirium is a frequent adverse event following elective non-cardiac surgery. The occurrence of delirium increases the risk of functional impairment, placement to facilities other than home after discharge, cognitive impairment at discharge, as well as in-hospital and possibly long-term mortality. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of effective strategies to minimise the risk from modifiable risk factors, including postoperative pain control and the analgesic regimen. Use of potent opioids, currently the backbone of postoperative pain control, alters cognition and has been associated with an increased risk of postoperative delirium. Literature supports the intraoperative use of lidocaine infusions to decrease postoperative opioid requirements, however, whether the use of postoperative lidocaine infusions is associated with lower opioid requirements and subsequently a reduction in postoperative delirium has not been investigated. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The Lidocaine Infusion for the Management of Postoperative Pain and Delirium trial is a randomised, double-blinded study of a postoperative 48-hour infusion of lidocaine at 1.33 mg/kg/hour versus placebo in older patients undergoing major reconstructive spinal surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. Our primary outcome is incident delirium measured daily by the Confusion Assessment Method in the first three postoperative days. Secondary outcomes include delirium severity, changes in cognition, pain scores, opioid use, incidence of opioid related side effects and functional benefits including time to discharge and improved recovery from surgery. Lidocaine safety will be assessed with daily screening questionnaires and lidocaine plasma levels. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study protocol has been approved by the ethics board at the University of California, San Francisco. The results of this study will be published in a peer-review journal and presented at national conferences as poster or oral presentations. Participants wishing to know the results of this study will be contacted directly on data publication. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05010148.

Anesthetic Effect of the Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block with Different Approaches on Total Hip Arthroplasty and Its Effect on Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction and Inflammation. Front Surg 2022; 9:898243. [PMID: 35599808 PMCID: PMC9114884 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.898243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
ObjectiveThe objective of this article is to make a comparison of the anesthetic effects of the inside and outside fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and to study the effect of the different approaches of the FICB on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and serum inflammatory cytokines in THA patients.MethodsA total of 60 patients who received THA treatment from January 2021 to December 2021 were divided into two groups, namely, Inside group (inside approach of the FICB) and Outside group (outside approach of the FICB), according to the different approaches of the FICB. Forty-eight hours after surgery, we compared the use of ropacaine dosage, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score, the incidence of POCD, and the serum levels of IL-1, IL-6. Secondary indicators include surgical indicators and the quality of anesthesia cannula.ResultsThe ratio of re-fix the catheter, intubation time, and the use of ropacaine dosage at 48 h after surgery in the Outside group were significantly higher than that in the Inside group (p < 0.05), while the depth of cannulation in the Outside group was significantly lower than that in the Inside group (p < 0.05). VAS scores were comparable between the Inside and the Outside groups, except at 24 h after surgery. The use of PCA from 24 to 48 h after surgery in the Outside group was significantly higher than that in the Inside group (p < 0.05). The MMSE score and the incidence of POCD in the Outside group were higher than that in the Inside group. At the same time, the serum IL-1β levels at 1 and 6 h after surgery and the serum IL-6 levels at 1, 6, 24, and 48 h after surgery in the Outside group were significantly higher than that in the Inside group (p < 0.05).ConclusionCompared with the outside approach of the FICB, the inside approach of the FICB has better anesthetic effect, better postoperative analgesia, fewer postoperative analgesics, lower incidence of POCD, and lower serum cytokines during the treatment of THA patients.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway in postoperative delirium. Methods: Elderly patients aged 65-80 years who received unilateral hip arthroplasty under subarachnoid anesthesia were included. Pre-anesthesia cerebrospinal fluid and perioperative blood samples were collected. After follow-up, patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD) after surgery. The potential differentially expressed proteins in the two groups were determined by proteomics assay and subsequent western blot validation. A POD model of aged mice was established, and the TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway was determined. Main findings: The IL-1β and TNF-α levels in pre-anesthesia cerebrospinal fluid and postoperative blood were higher in patients who developed POD than in those patients who did not. Compared with non-POD patients, MAGI-2 was highly expressed in POD patients, as validated by proteomics assays and western blotting. Higher p-NF-κB-p65, TLR4 and MAGI-2 in POD patients were detected by western blot. The POD model in aged mice was successfully established and verified by three behavioral tests. Postoperative inflammatory cytokines and the TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway were increased in mice with POD. Inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway could reduce postoperative delirium. Conclusions: The TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway mediates POD.

Early Cognitive Dysfunction in Elderly Patients after Total Knee Arthroplasty: An Analysis of Risk Factors and Cognitive Functional Levels. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:5372603. [PMID: 35224095 PMCID: PMC8881138 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5372603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 12/11/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Background Cognitive dysfunction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is very common in elderly patients. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), as a form of cognitive dysfunction, may affect patients' short- and long-term recoveries. The identification of meaningful risk factors may help reduce the occurrence of POCD in the future. Objective Our goal was to retrospectively investigate the risk factors for early POCD in elderly patients undergoing TKA and to further analyze the relationship between the intensity of risk factors and the level of cognitive function. Methods The related indicators and the Montreal Cognitive Function Assessment Scale (MOCA) scores of 105 elderly patients were collected by searching the electronic case system. According to the postoperative MOCA score, patients were divided into three groups: normal group (group N), mild POCD group (group M), and severe POCD group (group S). SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analyses. Results At baseline, the preoperative MOCA score was significantly different in patients with POCD (P ≤ 0.001), while other baseline indicators were not significantly different. In terms of changes in hemoglobin levels, statistically significant differences were observed between group M, group S, and group N (P = 0.039). Among inflammatory indicators, only postoperative CRP levels showed a statistically significant difference in patients with POCD (P = 0.041). Postoperative pain was also significantly different among the three groups (P = 0.009). The multivariate regression analysis revealed that a low preoperative MOCA score and severe postoperative pain were independent risk factors for mild and severe cognitive impairment, while a high postoperative CRP level was only an independent risk factor for mild cognitive impairment. Conclusions Our study found that the level of preoperative cognitive function, postoperative CRP level, and postoperative pain were independent risk factors for POCD. Moreover, the levels of preoperative cognitive function and postoperative pain were more strongly correlated with severe POCD than postoperative CRP levels.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the effects of hypercholesterolemia on sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment in aged rats and the underlying mechanism(s). Aged rats were administrated with high-fat diet, sevoflurane, or both. Thereafter, the plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were evaluated. The Morris water maze task was performed to evaluate the spatial learning and memory ability of rats. Moreover, Nissl and Evans blue staining were conducted to test nerve damage and detect the blood-brain barrier permeability, respectively. The percentage of apoptotic cells was evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay. The messenger RNA expression of inflammatory factors and protein expression of microglial activation markers and apoptosis-related proteins were tested by real-time polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or western blot analysis, respectively. High-fat diet induced high levels of TC, TG, and LDL but decreased levels of HDL. However, sevoflurane had no effects on these levels. In contrast, sevoflurane significantly induced the impairment of learning and memory, nerve damage, neuroinflammatory damage, and neuronal apoptosis. Hypercholesterolemia exacerbated the sevoflurane-induced impairment in aged rats. These results suggested that hypercholesterolemia aggravates sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment in aged rats, possibly by inducing neurological inflammation and apoptosis.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation following peripheral surgery is a pivotal pathogenic mechanism of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). However, the key site of inflammation-mediated neural damage remains unclear. Impaired mitochondrial function is a vital feature of degenerated neurons. Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), a crucial regulator of mitochondrial dynamics, has been shown to play an essential role in synapse formation. Here, we designed experiments to assess whether Drp1-regulated mitochondrial dynamics and function are involved in the pathological processes of POCD and elucidate its relationship with neuroinflammation. Aged mice were subjected to experimental laparotomy under isoflurane anesthesia. Primary neurons and SH-SY5Y cells were exposed to tumor necrosis factor (TNF). We found an increase in Drp1 activation as well as mitochondrial fragmentation both in the hippocampus of mice after surgery and primary neurons after TNF exposure. Pretreatment with Mdivi-1, a Drp1 specific inhibitor, reduced this mitochondrial fragmentation. Drp1 knockdown with small interfering RNA blocked TNF-induced mitochondrial fragmentation in SH-SY5Y cells. However, the application of Mdivi-1 exhibited a negative impact on mitochondrial function and neurite growth in primary neurons. Calcineurin activity was increased in primary neurons after TNF exposure and contributed to the Drp1 activation. The calcineurin inhibitor FK506 exhibited a Drp1-independent function that mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction. Finally, we found that FK506 pretreatment ameliorated the neurite growth in neurons treated with TNF and the learning ability of mice after surgery. Overall, our research indicated a crucial role of mitochondrial function in the pathological processes of POCD, and neuronal metabolic modulation may represent a novel and important target for POCD.

Repeated Preoperative Intranasal Administration of Insulin Decreases the Incidence of Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Radical Gastrointestinal Surgery: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blinded Clinical Study. Am J Geriatr Psychiatry 2021; 29:1202-1211.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effects of repeated preoperative intranasal administration of insulin on the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) and the levels of serum pro-inflammatory markers in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrointestinal surgery. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical study. SETTING General Hospital of Western Theater Command from August 2019 to December 2019. PATIENTS Ninety elderly patients underwent laparoscopic radical gastrointestinal tumor resections under general anesthesia. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly divided into a control group (0.5 mL saline administered intranasally) or an insulin group (20 U/0.5 mL insulin administered intranasally) for 2 days prior to surgery, with 45 patients in each group. MEASUREMENTS The incidence of delirium was measured at postoperative day 1 (T2), day 3 (T3), and day 5 (T4) using the Confusion Assessment Method for the intensive care unit (CAM-ICU). Plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured at T0 (before insulin or saline administration), T1 (at the end of surgery), T2, T3, and T4 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. MAIN RESULTS Compared with the control group, the insulin group demonstrated a decreased POD incidence (12.5% vs. 47.5%, p = 0.001) within 5 days after surgery. The incidence of POD was significantly lower in the Ins group than in the Con group at T2 (12.5% vs. 32.5%, p = 0.032) and at T3 (2.5% vs. 20%, p = 0.034). The incidence of POD decreased in both groups over time and was similar at T4 (0% vs 10%, p = 0.116). Compared with the baseline value at T0, serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β concentrations increased significantly at T1-4 (p <0.05). Compared with the control group at the same time point, the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in group I at T2 and T3 were significantly reduced (p <0.05). The incidence rates of adverse events were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Repeated preoperative intranasal administration of insulin prevented the occurrence of delirium after laparoscopic radical gastrointestinal surgery in elderly patients and reduced TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels.

Abstract
Sirt1, a member of the sirtuins family, is a nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylase. It can be involved in the regulation of several processes including inflammatory response, apoptosis, oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and autophagy by exerting deacetylation. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), a crucial nuclear transcription factor with specific DNA binding sequences, exists in almost all cells and plays a vital role in several biological processes involving inflammatory response, immune response, and apoptosis. As the hub of multiple intracellular signaling pathways, the activity of NF-κB is regulated by multiple factors. Sirt1 can both directly deacetylate NF-κB and indirectly through other molecules to inhibit its activity. We would like to emphasize that Sirt1/NF-κB is a signaling pathway that is closely related to neuroinflammation. Many recent studies have demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of Sirt1/NF-κB signaling pathway activation applied to the treatment of neurological related diseases. In this review, we focus on new advances in the neuroprotective effects of the Sirt1/NF-κB pathway. First, we briefly review Sirt1 and NF-κB, two key molecules of cellular metabolism. Next, we discuss the connection between NF-κB and neuroinflammation. In addition, we explore how Sirt1 regulates NF-κB in nerve cells and relevant evidence. Finally, we analyze the therapeutic effects of the Sirt1/NF-κB pathway in several common neuroinflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
The involvement of Dexmedetomidine (Dex) has been indicated in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), while the mechanism is not well characterized. This study estimated the mechanism of Dex in POCD. Rats were anesthetized with sevoflurane (SEV) to evoke POCD and then subjected to Morris water maze test to detect the cognitive and behavioral function. Then, the damage of hippocampus and cortex, and apoptosis and activity of neurons were examined. Microarray analysis was performed to screen out the differentially expressed microRNAs (miRs) in rats after Dex treatment. The cognitive and behavioral functions and neuronal activity of rats were detected after miR-129 antagomir injection. The target of miR-129 was predicted. The levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 in hippocampus and cortex were measured. Dex treatment alleviated SEV-induced behavior and cognitive impairments in rats, promoted neuronal activity and hindered neuronal apoptosis. After treatment with Dex, miR-129 expression was elevated in brain tissues, and the neuroprotection of Dex on POCD rats was partially annulled after injection of miR-129 antagomir. Furthermore, miR-129 targeted TLR4 and prevented the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65. In summary, Dex ameliorated SEV-induced POCD by elevating miR-129 and inhibiting TLR4 and NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. This study may shed new lights on POCD treatment.

Abstract
Sevoflurane is one of the most commonly used inhaled anesthetics due to its low blood gas coefficient, fast onset, low airway irritation, and aromatic smell. However, recent studies have reported that sevoflurane exposure may have deleterious effects on cognitive function. Although neuroinflammation was most widely mentioned among the established mechanisms of sevoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction, its upstream mechanisms have yet to be illustrated. Thus, we reviewed the relevant literature and discussed the most mentioned mechanisms, including the modulation of the microglial function, blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, changes in gut microbiota, and ease of cholinergic neurotransmission to help us understand the properties of sevoflurane, providing us new perspectives for the prevention of sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment.

Association Between Postoperative Long-Term Heart Rate Variability and Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study. Front Aging Neurosci 2021; 13:646253. [PMID: 34135747 PMCID: PMC8200544 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2021.646253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2020] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication after orthopedic surgery in elderly patients. The elderly may experience drastic changes in autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and circadian rhythm disorders after surgery. Therefore, we intend to explore the relationship between postoperative long-term heart rate (HR) variability (HRV), as a measure of ANS activity and circadian rhythm, and occurrence of POD in elderly patients. Methods The study population of this cohort was elderly patients over 60 years of age who scheduled for orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia. Patients were screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria before surgery. Then, participants were invited to wear a Holter monitor on the first postoperative day to collect 24-h electrocardiographic (ECG) data. Parameters in the time domain [the standard deviation of the normal-to-normal (NN) intervals (SDNN), mean of the standard deviations of all the NN intervals for each 5-min segment of a 24-h HRV recording (SDNNI), and the root mean square of successive differences of the NN intervals (RMSSD)] and frequency domain [heart rate (HR), high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF), very low frequency (VLF), ultra low frequency (ULF), and total power (TP)] were calculated. Assessment of delirium was performed daily up to the seventh postoperative day using the Chinese version of the 3-Min Diagnostic Interview for CAM-defined Delirium (3D-CAM). The relationship between HRV and POD, as well as the association between HRV and duration of POD, was assessed. Results Of the 294 cases that finally completed the follow-up, 60 cases developed POD. Among the HRV parameters, SDNNI, VLF, and ULF were related to the occurrence of POD. After adjustment for potential confounders, the correlation between HRV indices and POD disappeared. Through stratified analysis, two significant negative correlations emerged: ULF in young-old participants and SDNNI, VLF, and ULF in male patients. Conclusion The lower HRV parameters may be related to the occurrence of POD, and this correlation is more significant in young-old and male patients. ANS disorders and rhythm abnormalities reflected by HRV changes may represent a possible mechanism that promotes POD.

Local Anesthetics and Recurrence after Cancer Surgery-What's New? A Narrative Review. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10040719. [PMID: 33670434 PMCID: PMC7918400 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10040719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Revised: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The perioperative use of regional anesthesia and local anesthetics is part of almost every anesthesiologist’s daily clinical practice. Retrospective analyses and results from experimental studies pointed towards a potential beneficial effect of the local anesthetics regarding outcome—i.e., overall and/or recurrence-free survival—in patients undergoing cancer surgery. The perioperative period, where the anesthesiologist is responsible for the patients, might be crucial for the further course of the disease, as circulating tumor cells (shed from the primary tumor into the patient’s bloodstream) might form new micro-metastases independent of complete tumor removal. Due to their strong anti-inflammatory properties, local anesthetics might have a certain impact on these circulating tumor cells, either via direct or indirect measures, for example via blunting the inflammatory stress response as induced by the surgical stimulus. This narrative review highlights the foundation of these principles, features recent experimental and clinical data and provides an outlook regarding current and potential future research activities.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to examine the effect of dexmedetomidine for intraoperative sedation and postoperative cognitive function in patients with preoperative anxiety undergoing carotid artery stenting. Methods Eighty patients were randomly divided into two groups: the dexmedetomidine group and the control group. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Anxiety was evaluated using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale. Routine monitoring indices were recorded during surgery, and cognitive function indices were recorded before drug infusion (T0), 10 minutes after drug infusion (T1), at the end of surgery (T2), and 6 hours after surgery (T3). Results The anxiety scores were not significantly different between the two groups at T0, but they became significantly different at T1–3. The MMSE scores in both groups increased at 1 and 7 days postoperatively; although the increase in the dexmedetomidine group was sharper, there was no significant difference. In both groups, the MMSE scores at 1 and 7 days after surgery were not significantly different from those at 1 day before surgery. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can improve patients’ anxiety and achieve a sufficient sedation effect without causing postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
Pediatric hypertension is currently one of the most common health concerns in children, given its effects not only on cardiovascular but also cognitive functions. There is accumulating evidence suggesting neurocognitive dysfunction in hypertensive children that could persist even into adulthood. Identifying the precise mechanism(s) underlying the association between childhood hypertension and cognitive dysfunction is crucial as it could potentially lead to the discovery of "druggable" biological targets facilitating the development of treatments. Here, we discuss some of the proposed pathophysiological mechanisms underlying childhood hypertension and cognitive deficits and suggest strategies to address some of the current challenges in the field. The various research studies involving hypertensive adults indicate that long-term hypertension may produce abnormal cerebrovascular reactivity, chronic inflammation, autonomic dysfunction, or hyperinsulinemia and hypercholesterolemia, which could lead to alterations in the brain's structure and functions, resulting in cognitive dysfunction. In light of the current literature, we propose that dysregulation of the hypothalamus-pituitaryadrenal axis, modifications in endothelial brain-derived neurotrophic factor and the gut microbiome may also modulate cognitive functions in hypertensive individuals. Moreover, the above-mentioned pathological states may further intensify the detrimental effects of hypertension on cognitive functions. Thus, treatments that target not only hypertension but also its downstream effects may prove useful in ameliorating hypertension-induced cognitive deficits. Much remains to be clarified about the mechanisms and treatments of hypertension-induced cognitive outcomes in pediatric populations. Addressing the knowledge gaps in this field entails conducting not only clinical research but also rigorous basic and translational studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study intends to analyze influences of different anesthesia and analgesia on cellular immune and cognitive functions of patients undergoing thoracotomy for esophageal cancer (EsC). METHODS Patients undergoing thoracotomy for EsC were divided into four groups: Group A (received general anesthesia [GA]) and postoperative intravenous analgesia); B (received GA and postoperative epidural analgesia); C (received GA combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia [TEA]) and postoperative intravenous analgesia); D (received GA combined with TEA and postoperative epidural analgesia). The T-lymphocyte subsets were determined at 30 min before anesthesia induction (T<inf>0</inf>), 2 h after skin incision (T<inf>1</inf>), and at 4 h (T<inf>2</inf>), 24 h (T<inf>3</inf>), and 48 h (T<inf>4</inf>) after operation. Besides, visual analogue scale (VAS) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) were assessed. RESULTS The percentage of CD3+ and CD4+ cells in groups B and C were higher than group A from T<inf>1</inf> to T<inf>3</inf>. The ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in group B and C were higher than in group A at T<inf>3</inf>. Compared with group A, group D had increased percentages of CD3+ and CD4+ from T<inf>1</inf> to T<inf>4</inf>, and elevated ratio of CD4+/CD8+ from T<inf>2</inf> to T<inf>4</inf> VAS scores were lower and MMSE scores were higher in groups B, C, and D than in group A, and group D had relatively lower VAS and higher MMSE scores as compared to group B. CONCLUSIONS The intraoperative general anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia and postoperative epidural analgesia may reduce adverse effect on cellular immune and cognitive functions of patients undergoing thoracotomy for EsC.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), a state of sleep disorder, is characterized by repetitive apnea, chronic hypoxia, oxygen desaturation, and hypercapnia. Previous studies have revealed that intermittent hypoxia (IH) conditions in OSAS patients elicited neuron injury (especially in the hippocampus and cortex), leading to cognitive dysfunction, a significant and extraordinary complication of OSAS patients. The repeated courses of airway collapse and obstruction in OSAS patients resulted in apnea and arousal during sleep, leading to IH and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and subsequently contributing to the development of inflammation. IH-mediated inflammation could further trigger various types of cognitive dysfunction. Many researchers have found that, besides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment and surgery, anti-inflammatory substances might alleviate IH-induced neurocognitive dysfunction. Clarifying the role of inflammation in IH-mediated cognitive impairment is crucial for potentially valuable therapies and future research in the related domain. The objective of this article was to critically review the relationship between inflammation and cognitive deficits in OSAS.

Abstract
It is well known that the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is high in elderly patients. The pathogenesis and therapeutic mechanisms of POCD, however, have not yet been completely elucidated. The effects of gut microbiota, particularly in terms of regulating brain function, have gradually attracted increasing attention. In this study, we investigated the potential role of gut microbiota in POCD in aged male mice and attempted to determine whether alterations in gut microbiota would be helpful in the diagnosis of POCD. POCD and non-POCD mice were classified by hierarchical cluster analysis of behavioral results. Additionally, α- and β-diversity of gut microbiota showed a differential profile between the groups. In total, 24 gut bacteria were significantly altered in POCD mice compared with those in non-POCD mice, in which 13 gut bacteria were significantly correlated with escape latency in the Morris water maze test (MWMT). Remarkably, receiver operating characteristic curves revealed that the Dehalobacteriaceae family and Dehalobacterium genus are potentially important bacteria for the diagnosis of POCD. These findings indicate that alterations in the composition of gut microbiota are probably involved in the pathogenesis of POCD in aged mice. Novel therapeutic strategies regulating specific gut bacteria may be helpful for the prevention and treatment of POCD.

Abstract
AIMS Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common postoperative complication that is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, the mechanism of pathogenesis of POCD still remains largely unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate the function and mechanism of lncRNA PCAI in POCD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Knockdown and overexpression studies were performed to analyze the function of lncRNA PCAI in cultured BV-2 cell lines treated with LPS to mimic the neuroinflammation. Real-time PCR, western blot, ELISA were used to determine the expression level of inflammation markers. Rescue experiment was performed to prove the relationship between PCAI and SUZ12. RESULTS We found that the expression of lncRNA PCAI was decreased with the increasing concentrations of LPS. Knockdown of lncRNA PCAI inhibited the cell death rates and attenuated the cell inflammation via ELISA and real-time PCR. Besides, downregulated of lncRNA PCAI can protect the mitochondrial function via membrane potential assay. Overexpression of lncRNA PCAI can promote the cell death and inflammation response induced by LPS. We also provided mechanism study about lncRNA PCAI that negatively regulating SUZ12. Rescue experiment also verified the results. CONCLUSION We performed comprehensive study of functional analysis of lncRNA PCAI in POCD and proved its mechanism, which negatively regulate SUZ12. Our study provided new clues for the clinical intervention and targets for POCD.

Abstract
Background Intravenous lidocaine administered during surgery improves postoperative outcomes; however, few studies have evaluated the relationship between intravenous lidocaine and volatile anesthetics requirements. This study assessed the effects of lidocaine treatment on sevoflurane consumption and postoperative consciousness disorders in children undergoing major spine surgery. Material/Methods Patients were randomly divided into 2 treatment groups: lidocaine and placebo (control). The lidocaine group received lidocaine as a bolus of 1.5 mg/kg over 30 min, followed by a continuous infusion at 1 mg/kg/h to 6 h after surgery. The following data were assessed: end-tidal sevoflurane concentration required to maintain a bispectral index BIS between 40 and 60, intraoperative blood pressure, heart rate, demand for fentanyl, and consciousness level assessed after surgery using the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale. Any treatment-related adverse events were recorded. Results Compared to the control group, lidocaine treatment reduced by 15% the end-tidal sevoflurane concentration required to maintain the intraoperative hemodynamic stability and appropriate level of anesthesia (P=0.0003). There were no intergroup differences in total dose of fentanyl used, average mean arterial pressure, or heart rate measured intraoperatively. The postoperative level of patient consciousness did not differ during the first 6 h between groups. After 9 h, more patients in the control group were still sleepy (P=0.032), and there were fewer perioperative complications in the lidocaine group. Conclusions Lidocaine treatment decreases sevoflurane consumption and improves recovery profiles in children undergoing major spine surgery.

[PMID: 36445369 PMCID: PMC9665169 DOI: 10.1016/j.xjon.2020.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2019] [Revised: 11/06/2019] [Accepted: 02/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Objective To examine the effect of aging on postoperative neurocognitive decline (NCD) in cardiac surgery patients. Methods Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft or open aortic valve replacement were administered the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status at preoperative, postoperative day (POD) 4, and 1 month. Blood samples were collected at preoperative, 6 hours postoperative, and POD 4. Plasma interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were quantified. Quality of life was measured with the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey. Data were analyzed using paired ratio and unpaired t tests with Welch's correction, and linear regression for cytokine levels. Results NCD occurred in 15 patients (N = 33, 45.5%). Dichotomized at age extremes (<60 years; ≥75 years), youngest patients had greater preoperative scores (P = .02) with lower scores by POD 4 (P = .03). There was no NCD in the oldest patients, and scores were not different between age groups on POD 4 (P = .08). Regression at 1 month showed NCD scores again declined by age (n = 15), with younger scores returning toward baseline (P = .008). Regression analyses showed decline by age at 6 hours postoperative and POD 4 in plasma CRP levels (P = .05 6 hours, P = .02 POD 4). Dichotomizing IL-6 levels by age (<70 years, ≥70 years) demonstrated that levels were greater in younger versus older patients at 6 hours postoperative (P = .03), but not on POD 4. Conclusions Younger patients tend to have better cognitive scores before surgery but scores at POD 4 are similar to those of older patients, with this trend disappearing at 1 month. IL-6 and CRP upregulation is greater in younger patients, suggesting that a robust perioperative inflammatory response may be associated with reduction in neurocognitive function, and this may be greater in younger versus older patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a key role in the etiology and pathology of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor parecoxib is used for the treatment of acute pain due to its potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Herein, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of parecoxib on early POCD in geriatric patients. OBJECTIVE This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of parecoxib for early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients. METHODS Comprehensive literature search based on six electronic databases was applied to retrieve all related randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Two independent reviewers screened each article for eligibility according to the predetermined inclusion criteria. The Cochrane's Tool was applied to evaluate the methodological quality of included studies. RevMan 5.3 was used to conduct meta-analysis. RESULTS Eight RCTs comprising a total of 1106 subjects prepared for orthopedic surgical operation were selected. All the identified RCTs were conducted in China. The methodological qualities of included studies were judged to be medium to high. The integrated data showed that perioperative intravenous parecoxib could remarkably reduce the incidence of POCD with improved Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score. Parecoxib could significantly reduce the concentrations of interleukin-6, but results regarding the changes in tumor necrosis factor-alpha, C-reactive protein, and S100β levels remained inconsistent. CONCLUSION Perioperative parecoxib administration is effective in reducing the incidence of POCD and improving the MMSE score compared with control. However, the beneficial effect of parecoxib has been tested only in the Chinese population. Future RCTs in western countries with larger-scale and more comprehensive neurological tests are needed.

Abstract
Anemia in the elderly may impair cognitive function. Our primary objective was to determine whether cancer-related anemia was associated with postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in nonelderly patients. We conducted an observational prospective study of 177 patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgery. Patients aged 18-64 were divided into two groups according to whether they were anemic due to cancer or not. The cognitive function was assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) 1 day before and 1 week after operation. The cognitive function of the patients was evaluated by using the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-Modified (TICS-M) 3 months after operation. The quality of life of patients was evaluated after operation. The hemoglobin level and other clinical data were recorded before operation. Of the 170 patients, 100 without anemia and 70 anemia patients had been evaluated 1 week after operation. POCD was detected in 43 cases (25.3% of 170 cases) at 1 week and 30 cases (19% of 158 cases) at 3 months postoperatively. Anemia was an independent risk factor for 3-month POCD occurrence (P = 0.034). The education level of the patients who had POCD at 1 week and 3 months after operation was lower (P < 0.001, P = 0.011, respectively). Age was independently associated with the incidence of POCD at 3 months (P = 0.011). In general, these findings suggested that anemia may increase the incidence of medium-term POCD in cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of covert stroke and cognitive dysfunction has gradually increased due to an ageing population. Recently, a prospective cohort study reported perioperative covert stroke was associated with an increased risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) 1 year after non-cardiac surgery. However, the mechanism remains unclear. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a prospective observational trial aiming to investigate the cumulative incidence of perioperative covert stroke and test the hypothesis that perioperative covert stroke associates with POCD in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac and non-neurological surgery. Data on risk factors, brain MRI, cognitive function evaluation and serum immune-inflammatory cytokines will be collected and analysed. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval has been granted by the Medical Ethics Committee of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University (reference number: KY2017-027-02). The results of this study will be disseminated through presentations at scientific conferences and publication in scientific journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03081429.

Abstract
Background Post-intensive care survivors have decreased quality-of-life scores and prolonged cognitive dysfunction due to baseline factors and events related to intensive care unit admission, which remain largely unrecognized. Materials and methods A prospective observational cohort study to assess the quality of life and occurrence of cognitive dysfunction, 3 and 6 months following discharge from the intensive care unit, was carried out. We enrolled 136 adults presenting to the intensive care unit with no prior cognitive dysfunction or depression and followed up and assessed them with repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS) and quality of life with short Form-36 (SF-36) health survey. Results The incidence and prevalence of cognitive dysfunction was 100% at 3 and 6 months, respectively, as assessed by RBANS with a global cognition scores at 3 and 6 months of 71 (IQR 68.5–73) and 74 (IQR 72–86), respectively. Higher Charlson's comorbidity score, increased severity of illness, longer duration of mechanical ventilation, pain, delirium, coma, and hospital stay were associated with statistically significant lower scores at 3 months. The median SF-36 mental component score (MCS) and physical component score (PCS) at 3 months were 38.4 and 32.5 and at 6 months were 38.2 and 32.6, respectively. Poor score was associated significantly with advancing age, poor functional parameters at baseline as evidenced by clinical frailty, poor baseline Katz ADL scores, increased severity of illness, longer duration of mechanical ventilation, occurrence and duration of delirium, coma, pain, and usage of sedatives with or without analgesics. Conclusion and clinical significance Patients discharged from the intensive care unit are at high risk for persistent cognitive impairment and poor quality of life score. Poor baseline patient characteristics and events occurring in ICU are associated with worse cognition and quality of life scores. There is an urgent need to prevent, diagnose, and manage these patients by optimizing intensive care practices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although delirium is the most common neurobehavioral complication after stroke, its motor subtypes-hypoactive, hyperactive, mixed, and none-as well as their risk factors are not well characterized. Motor subtypes influence recognition and prognosis of delirium in hospitalized patients. METHODS The aim of this prospective study was to assess the frequency of poststroke delirium subtypes and to describe their predictive models. Consecutive patients with stroke were screened for delirium with the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit. Delirium was diagnosed according to DSM-5 criteria, and subtypes were classified with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale-4. Baseline demographic characteristics, biochemistry, stroke-related data, medications, neurological deficits, and premorbid cognitive and functional impairments were assessed. RESULTS Out of 750 patients (mean age, 71.75 years [SD=13.13]), 203 (27.07%) had delirium: 85 (11.34%) were hypoactive, 77 (10.27%) were mixed hypoactive-hyperactive, 31 (4.13%) were hyperactive, and 10 (1.33%) had an unspecified type. Cognitive impairment at the time of hospital admission and spatial neglect, among other factors, were identified as the best predictors for all motor delirium subtypes. CONCLUSIONS Screening for poststroke delirium is important because the hypoactive subtype bears the worst prognosis and is misdiagnosed the most compared with other subtypes. All identified factors for the predictive models of delirium subtypes are routinely assessed during hospital admission. Their occurrence in patients with stroke should alert the treating physician to the high risk for a particular delirium subtype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgical trauma is known to result in systemic inflammatory changes that can lead to postoperative cognitive dysfunction. In the present study, the authors compared the effects of an epidural anesthesia protocol to those of traditional anesthesia with regard to postoperative inflammatory changes, cellular immunity, and cognitive dysfunction. METHODS Forty-eight patients, ages 45-60 years, underwent multilevel thoracolumbar decompression and fusion and were randomly assigned to one of two groups: group 1 (27 patients) had combined epidural and general anesthesia, followed by epidural analgesia for 48 hours after surgery, and group 2 (21 patients) had general anesthesia, followed by traditional opioid pain management after surgery. At multiple time points, data on pain control, cognitive function, cellular immunity, and inflammatory markers were collected. RESULTS Group 1 patients demonstrated lower pain levels, less systemic inflammation, less cellular immune dysfunction, and less postoperative cognitive dysfunction than group 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS The use of combined epidural and general anesthesia followed by postoperative epidural analgesia during the first 48 hours after multilevel thoracolumbar decompression and fusion surgery had a significant positive effect on pain management, cellular immune function, systemic inflammation, and postoperative cognitive function.Clinical trial registration no.: 115080510080 (http://rosrid.ru).

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor MS-275 Alleviates Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Rats by Inhibiting Hippocampal Neuroinflammation. Neuroscience 2019; 417:70-80.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation in the hippocampus plays essential roles in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have recently been identified as key regulators of neuroinflammation. MS-275, an inhibitor of HDAC, has been reported to have neuroprotective effects. Therefore, the present study aimed to test the hypothesis that pretreatment with MS-275 prevents POCD by inhibiting neuroinflammation in rats. In this study, anesthesia/surgery impaired cognition, demonstrated by an increase escape latency and reduction in the number of platform crossings in Morris water maze (MWM) trials, through activating microglia neuroinflammation and decreasing PSD-95 expression. However, pretreatment with MS-275 attenuated postoperative cognitive impairment severity. Furthermore, pretreatment with MS-275 decreased activated microglia levels and increased PSD95 protein expression in the hippocampus. Pretreatment with MS-275 reduced NF-κB-p65 protein expression and nuclear accumulation as well as the neuroinflammatory response (production of proinflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-1β) in the hippocampus. Additionally, MS-275 reduced HDAC2 expression and HDAC activity in the hippocampus, which were enhanced in vehicle-treated rats. These results suggest that MS-275 alleviates postoperative cognitive dysfunction by reducing neuroinflammation in the hippocampus of rats via HDAC inhibition.

Abstract
Background Quick and complete recovery of cognitive function after general anesthesia is desirable, particularly for working-age patients. Desflurane is less likely to have long-term effects than older-generation inhalational anesthetics, however, its short-term effects have not been fully investigated. Our objective was to elucidate the short-term effects of desflurane exposure on learning and memory in young adult rats. Methods Seven-week old male Sprague–Dawley rats were exposed to air (control), or desflurane at 0.7 or 1.2 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) for 2 h (day 0). The inhibitory avoidance (IA) test was performed on day 1 to delineate the effects on contextual learning. Separate groups of control and 1.2 MAC desflurane animals underwent the IA test on days 3 and 7 to examine the time-dependent changes. Because the IA test is known to be dependent on the long-term potentiation (LTP) of the hippocampus and the trafficking of the GluR1 subunit of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor into the synapses, the effects of 1.2 MAC desflurane on these phenomena were evaluated on day 1. Results Desflurane at 1.2 MAC, but not 0.7 MAC, significantly decreased the IA latencies on day 1 compared with the control (one-way ANOVA, F [2,48] = 5.974, P = 0.005, post hoc Tukey’s, mean difference [95% confidence interval], control vs. 1.2 MAC, 168 [49.9 to 287], P = 0.004; control vs. 0.7 MAC, 67.5 [− 51.2 to 186], P = 0.362). The latencies were not affected on days 3 and 7 (day 3, control vs. desflurane, P = 0.861; day 7, control vs. desflurane, P > 0.999). Consistently, hippocampal LTP on day 1 was significantly suppressed in the desflurane group compared with the control group (P = 0.006). Moreover, immunoblotting analysis of synaptic GluR1 expression revealed that desflurane exposure significantly suppressed GluR1 delivery to the synapses after IA training. Conclusion Exposure to a relatively high concentration of desflurane caused reversible learning and memory impairment in young adult rats associated with suppression of GluR1 delivery to the synapses in the hippocampus.

Sun ZZ, Li YF, Xv ZP, Zhang YZ, Mi WD. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells regulate TGF-β to adjust neuroinflammation in postoperative central inflammatory mice. J Cell Biochem 2019; 121:371-384. [PMID: 31218737 DOI: 10.1002/jcb.29188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2019] [Revised: 05/29/2019] [Accepted: 05/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is one of the common postoperative complications, which is more common in aged patients. POCD mainly manifests as cognitive function changes after surgery, such as memory decline and inattention. In some severe cases, patients may suffer from personality changes and (or) social behavior decline. The aim of the current study is to confirm the effect and elucidate the mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in postoperative central inflammatory mice. METHODS Mice were randomly assigned to four groups: sham, sham+BMSCs, model, and BMSCs group. In the model group, mice were intraperitoneally injected 8 mg/kg per day lipopolysaccharide for 5 days. In sham+BMSCs and BMSCs group, BMSCs (1 × 10 7 ) in 100 µL saline were injected into sham mice and model mice, respectively. RESULTS In the model group, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) protein expression was significantly increased, compared with that in the sham group. BMSCs were treated into postoperative central inflammatory mice, which resulted in a decreased of TGF-β protein expression. TGF-β and smad2 protein expression were suppressed, and apoptosis rate and inflammation were inhibited in coculture with BMSCs. The suppression of TGF-β inhibited the effects of BMSCs on apoptosis rate and inflammation in postoperative central inflammatory through a smad2 signaling pathway. The promotion of TGF-β reduced the effects of BMSCs on apoptosis rate and inflammation in postoperative central inflammatory through a smad2 signaling pathway. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrates that BMSCs regulates TGF-β to adjust neuroinflammation in postoperative central inflammatory mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND postoperative cognitive changes can increase morbidity and mortality, demand for postoperative care and social and health costs, and can lead to dementia. AIM this article discusses perioperative variables that can be used to identify patients who are more vulnerable to experiencing cognitive decline after surgery. It also highlights some screening tools that could be useful for early detection and for planning nursing care. METHOD a literature search was conducted using the Medline, CINAHL, PsychINFO and Cochrane Library databases from 2010 to 2018. Google Scholar was also consulted. The reference lists of relevant articles covering postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) were reviewed for further relevant papers. CONCLUSION assessment and evaluation of a patient's cognitive resources before and after surgery can lead to clinical interventions to support the person's coping mechanisms; health professionals can reduce the short- and long-term effects of cognitive decline. Screening tools could be used as part of a strategy to minimise postoperative cognitive changes.

Preoperative Sleep Disturbance Exaggerates Surgery-Induced Neuroinflammation and Neuronal Damage in Aged Mice. Mediators Inflamm 2019; 2019:8301725. [PMID: 31011286 PMCID: PMC6442479 DOI: 10.1155/2019/8301725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2018] [Accepted: 12/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is defined as new cognitive impairment (memory impairment and impaired performance) after surgery, especially in aged patients. Sleep disturbance is a common phenomenon before surgery that has been increasingly thought to affect patient recovery. However, little is known about the functional impact of preoperative sleep disturbance on POCD. Here, we showed that tibial fracture surgery induced cognitive deficit and production of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1β, along with microglia and astrocyte activation, neuronal damage, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Preoperative sleep disturbance enhanced the surgery-induced neuroinflammation, neuronal damage, BBB disruption, and memory impairment 24 h after surgery. Taken together, these results demonstrated that preoperative sleep disturbance aggravated postoperative cognitive function in aged mice and the mechanism may be related to central nervous system (CNS) inflammation and neuronal damage.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction is common in the elderly. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER-stress) increases neuronal apoptosis after surgery, and chaperone molecules, such as heat shock proteins (HSPs), help reduce unfolded protein reactions, thereby promoting protein homeostasis. Mammal sirtuin1 (SIRT1)-mediated deacetylation of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) upregulates HSF1 binding to the HSP70 promoter. Caloric restriction (CR) improves cognition in many neurodegenerative models. In this study, we evaluated whether CR improves impaired learning and memory after surgery by attenuating ER-stress in an SIRT1-dependent manner. Male 18-month-old C57BL/6J mice receiving a 12-week CR or an ad libitum (AL) diet pre-intervention were challenged with tibial open fracture surgery and anesthesia or no treatment. We found a significant protective effect of CR on memory in contextual fear conditioning test after surgery compared with the AL group. CR alleviated ER-stress and neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampus induced by surgery. CR increased HSP70 expression through the HSF1/HSP pathway in a SIRT1-mediated manner, and inhibition of SIRT1 in the hippocampus by lentivirus injection partially reduced the benefits of CR (increased HSP70, deacetylated HSF1, reduced ER-stress, and improved memory). Taken together, our results showed that CR alleviates memory impairment postoperatively via attenuation of ER-stress in the hippocampus in an SIRT1-dependent manner, and the SIRT1/HSF1/HSP70 pathway is involved in this process.

Abstract
Surgery and other invasive procedures, which are routinely performed during general anesthesia, may induce an inflammatory response in the patient. This inflammatory response is an inherent answer of the body to the intervention and can be both beneficial and potentially harmful. The immune system represents a unique evolutionary achievement equipping higher organisms with an effective defense mechanism against exogenous pathogens. However, not only bacteria might evoke an immune response but also other noninfectious stimuli like the surgical trauma or mechanical ventilation may induce an inflammatory response of varying degree. In these cases, the immune system activation is not always beneficial for the patients and might carry the risk of concomitant, harmful effects on host cells, tissues, or even whole organ systems. Research over the past decades has contributed substantial information in which ways surgical patients may be affected by inflammatory reactions. Modulations of the patient's immune system may be evoked by the use of anesthetic agents, the nature of surgical trauma and the use of any supportive therapy during the perioperative period. The effects on the patient may be manifold, including various proinflammatory effects. This review focuses on the causes and effects of inflammation in the perioperative period. In addition, we also highlight possible approaches by which inflammation in the perioperative may be modulated in the future.

Neuropathology 2018; 39:30-38.

Abstract
This work attempts to discuss whether dexmedetomidine (Dex) can protect rats from postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) through regulating the γ-aminobutyric acid-B receptor (GABAB R)-mediated cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) - protein kinase A (PKA) - cAMP-response element binding (cAMP-PKA-CREB) signaling pathway. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a non-surgical group (Control), a surgical group (Model), a surgical group treated with Dex (Model + Dex), a surgical group treated with GABAB R antagonist (Model + CGP 35348) and a surgical group treated with Dex and GABAB R agonist (Model + Dex + Baclofen). Cognitive and memory functions were evaluated by Y-maze test and open-field test. The neuronal morphology of the hippocampus was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and neuronal apoptosis was by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling method. Inflammatory factors and cAMP levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay while expressions of GABAB R and PKA-CREB pathway-related molecules by Western blot. Compared with control rats, the model rats exhibited reduced alternation rates with a prolonged time spent in the central zone; meanwhile, levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β and the apoptotic index, as well as GABAB R1 and GABAB R2 expressions were increased in the model rats, but the cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway was inhibited (all P < 0.05). When treated with either Dex or CGP 35348, the surgical rats displayed an opposite tendency concerning the above factors as compared to the model rats (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, Baclofen, the agonist of GABAB R, could reverse the protective effect of Dex against POCD in rats. Dex protects rats from POCD possibly via suppressing GABAB R to up-regulate the cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling pathway, thereby alleviating the hippocampal inflammation caused by surgical trauma.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is commonly seen in patients undergoing major surgeries and may persist. Although neuroinflammation is one of the important contributors to the development of POCD, the mechanisms underlying POCD remain unclear. We performed stabilized tibial fracture operation in male mice. In comparison with sham mice (anesthesia only), the surgery mice exhibited cognitive deficits in a fear conditioning paradigm at postsurgery day 3-7, and increased numbers of microglia and elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) without change of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10) in the hippocampus. Electrophysiological recordings from CA1 hippocampal neurons revealed that POCD mice exhibited impairment in AMPA receptor-mediated evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (eEPSCs) without alteration in the rectification property of AMPA receptors. Interestingly, daily intraperitoneal administration of galantamine, an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, reversed cognitive dysfunction in surgery mice and attenuated accumulation of microglia and protein levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the hippocampus. Additionally, galantamine potentiated AMPA receptor-mediated eEPSCs in the hippocampus more prominent in surgery mice than in sham mice. Therefore, enhancement of cholinergic tone in the hippocampus might be a therapeutic strategy for early POCD in terms of suppression of inflammation and normalization of excitatory synaptic transmission.

Abstract
Background Surgery-induced neuroinflammation plays an important role in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Gut microbiota is a key regulator of neurological inflammation. Nurturing with prebiotics is an effective microbiota manipulation that can regulate host immunity and cognition. The aim of the present study was to test whether administration of the prebiotic Bimuno® (galactooligosaccharide (B-GOS) mixture) could ameliorate POCD and attenuate surgery-induced neuroinflammation through the microbiota-brain-axis. Methods Adult rats undergoing abdominal surgery under isoflurane anesthesia were fed with water or prebiotic B-GOS supplementation (15 g/L) for 3 weeks. Novel objective recognition task was employed for testing cognitive changes on postoperative day three. Expression of microglial marker Iba-1 in the hippocampus was assessed by immunohistochemical staining. Expression levels of phenotypic gene markers of activated microglia (M1: iNOS, CD68, CD32; M2: Ym1, CD206, and SOCS3) in hippocampus were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Inflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Feces were collected for microbial community analysis. Results Rats exhibited an impairment in novel objective recognition 3 days after surgery compared with control rats (P < .01). In the hippocampus, expressions of Iba-1 and M1 markers of surgical rats were significantly upregulated. Similarly, expressions of SOCS3 and CD206 in the hippocampus were upregulated. Additionally, increasing levels of IL-6 and IL-4 were evident in the hippocampus. Administration of B-GOS significantly alleviated cognitive decline induced by surgery (P < .01). B-GOS-fed rats showed a significantly downregulated activation of microglia and expressions of M1-related genes and SOCS3 and IL-6. While there was no significant difference in expressions of CD206 and Ym1 and IL-4 between the surgical and B-GOS groups. Analysis of gut microbiome found that administration of B-GOS induced a significant change beta diversity of the gut microbiome and proliferation of Bifidobacterium and other potentially anti-inflammatory microbes. Conclusions Administration of B-GOS has a beneficial effect on regulating neuroinflammatory and cognitive impairment in a rat model of abdominal surgery and was associated with the manipulation of gut microbiota.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to its potential beneficial effects, intra- and postoperative application of intravenous lidocaine has become increasingly accepted over the last couple of years, e.g. in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgical procedures. Based on its beneficial properties, lidocaine was introduced to the standard of care for all pediatric laparoscopic procedures in our institution in mid-2016. In contrast to adult care, scarce data is available regarding the use of perioperative intravenous lidocaine administration in children undergoing laparoscopic procedures, such as an appendectomy. METHODS Retrospective analysis of all pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy at the University Children's Hospital Zurich in 2016. Perioperative data, as recorded in the electronic patient data management system, were evaluated for any signs of systemic lidocaine toxicity (neurological and cardiovascular), behavioral deterioration, as well as for hemodynamic instability. Additionally, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, administration of pain rescue medication, time to hospital discharge and to first bowel movement, as well as any postoperative complications were recorded. Starting on 01/07/2016, all patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery received intravenous lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg body weight (BW) bolus after induction of anesthesia followed by continuous infusion of 1.5 mg/kgBW/h). These patients were then compared to children without lidocaine administration who had undergone laparoscopic appendectomy between 01/01/2016 and 30/06/2016. RESULTS Data of 116 patients was analyzed. Of these, 60 patients received lidocaine. No signs of systemic toxicity, neurologic impairment or circulatory disturbances were noted in any of these patients. A (non-significant) difference in the incidence of emergence delirium was observed (0 cases in the lidocaine group vs. 4 cases in the control group, p = 0.05). CONCLUSION This retrospective analysis did not reveal any adverse effects in pediatric patients receiving intravenous lidocaine for laparoscopic appendectomy under general anesthesia. However, further trials investigating beneficial effects as well as pharmacokinetic properties of intravenous lidocaine in children are required.
