Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) refers to the difficulties of orientation, cognition, communication, memory and abstract thinking of patients after anesthesia and surgery. And/or accompanied by the decline of the ability in social activities, such as the change of personality, social ability of language and behavior, cognitive function and life skills. POCD is a common complication of central nervous system in elderly patients after operation, with an early incidence of about 21% and a long-term incidence of about 35% . According to the current research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and POCD in the elderly, it has been found that they have similar pathological basis and some homologous related genes. Altogether, POCD is closely related to molecular pathway neuropsychiatric diseases (such as dementia, depression and Alzheimer's disease). Researchers have come up with various hypotheses to reveal the underlying mechanisms of POCD, including neuritis, oxidative stress, autophagy disorder, synaptic dysfunction, and lack of neurotrophic support. To date, apart from evaluating with scales, CT Scan and EEG analysis, there is neither exact biomarkers for monitoring and diagnosing POCD, nor clear relationships between specific Brain Metabolomic Characteristics, EEG changes and diagnosis of POCD, so that the diagnosis of early POCD only stays in the evaluation of clinical symptoms and scales. Therefore, our study aims to provide an effective basis for early diagnosis and treatment of clinical POCD through multivariate analyses of clinical scales combined with Brain Metabolomic Characteristics, EEG analysis of patients.
65 years or older .
Complete the operation in our hospital
ASA classification I-II level
Agree to participate in this research and agree to sign an informed consent form
History of preoperative psychosis and psychotropic drug use
The subject is diagnosed with AD;
Abnormal preoperative mental scale assessment
Have a history of emergency rescue during the perioperative period
Our research is a single center, nested case-control study. Preoperatively collect the information of the elderly patients over 65 years old without undergoing craniocerebral operations, including the vital signs, the examination reports and other related data after excluding the factors that can't be included in the group. The patients' health scales and preoperative cognitive function scales were evaluated.
Cohort
Prospective
Collecting clinical data, EGG，Brain Metabolomic Characteristics(with Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy), blood gas data and blood sample
Other interventionCollecting clinical data(before induction of anesthesia and first day after surgery), EGG（first day after surgery），Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy data (before induction of anesthesia and first day after surgery)blood gas data(before induction of anesthesia and first day after surgery) and blood sample （before induction of anesthesia and first day, third day and 7th day after surgery）
MMSE (mini-mental state examiniation)
MMSE scale score, If the MMSE assessment is positive at any time point, and there is a positive MMSE at any time point (no need for both MOCA and MMSE to be positive at the same time), it is defined as the occurrence of POCD.
