Abstract
For years, postoperative cognitive outcomes have steadily garnered attention, and in the past decade, they have remained at the forefront. This prominence is primarily due to empirical research emphasizing their potential to compromise patient autonomy, reduce quality of life, and extend hospital stays, and increase morbidity and mortality rates, especially impacting elderly patients. The underlying pathophysiological process might be attributed to surgical and anaesthesiological-induced stress, leading to subsequent neuroinflammation, neurotoxicity, burst suppression and the development of hypercoagulopathy. The beneficial impact of multi-faceted strategies designed to mitigate the surgical and perioperative stress response has been suggested. While certain potential risk factors are difficult to modify (e.g., invasiveness of surgery), others - including a more personalized depth of anaesthesia (EEG-guided), suitable analgesia, and haemodynamic stability - fall under the purview of anaesthesiologists. The ESAIC Safe Brain Initiative research group recommends implementing a bundle of non-invasive preventive measures as a standard for achieving more patient-centred care. Implementing multi-faceted preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative preventive initiatives has demonstrated the potential to decrease the incidence and duration of postoperative delirium. This further validates the importance of a holistic, team-based approach in enhancing patients' clinical and functional outcomes. This review aims to present evidence-based recommendations for preventing, diagnosing, and treating postoperative neurocognitive disorders with the Safe Brain Initiative approach.

Abstract
Post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is an abrupt decline in neurocognitive function arising shortly after surgery and persisting for weeks to months, increasing the risk of dementia diagnosis. Advanced age, obesity, and comorbidities linked to high-fat diet (HFD) consumption such as diabetes and hypertension have been identified as risk factors for POCD, although underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We have previously shown that surgery alone, or 3-days of HFD can each evoke sufficient neuroinflammation to cause memory deficits in aged, but not young rats. The aim of the present study was to determine if HFD consumption before surgery would potentiate and prolong the subsequent neuroinflammatory response and memory deficits, and if so, to determine the extent to which these effects depend on activation of the innate immune receptor TLR4, which both insults are known to stimulate. Young-adult (3mo) & aged (24mo) male F344xBN F1 rats were fed standard chow or HFD for 3-days immediately before sham surgery or laparotomy. In aged rats, the combination of HFD and surgery caused persistent deficits in contextual memory and cued-fear memory, though it was determined that HFD alone was sufficient to cause the long-lasting cued-fear memory deficits. In young adult rats, HFD + surgery caused only cued-fear memory deficits. Elevated proinflammatory gene expression in the hippocampus of both young and aged rats that received HFD + surgery persisted for at least 3-weeks after surgery. In a separate experiment, rats were administered the TLR4-specific antagonist, LPS-RS, immediately before HFD onset, which ameliorated the HFD + surgery-associated neuroinflammation and memory deficits. Similarly, dietary DHA supplementation for 4 weeks prior to HFD onset blunted the neuroinflammatory response to surgery and prevented development of persistent memory deficits. These results suggest that HFD 1) increases risk of persistent POCD-associated memory impairments following surgery in male rats in 2) a TLR4-dependent manner, which 3) can be targeted by DHA supplementation to mitigate development of persistent POCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) are a common central nervous system complication that predominantly affects the elderly. PND after surgery includes postoperative delirium (POD), delayed neurocognitive recovery up to 30 days (DNR), and postoperative neurocognitive disorder up to 12 months. Diabetes is an important independent risk factor for PND. Over the years, few studies have assessed the incidence of PND and the difference in serum biomarkers between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. We sought to examine the difference in the incidence of PND between elderly diabetic and non-diabetic patients in China and identify the risk factors of PND in elderly diabetics. METHODS We conducted a secondary and exploratory data analysis from our prior studies, including patients aged 65 years or older who underwent non-cardiac elective surgery with general anesthesia. We used the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to assess patient cognition. RESULTS A total of 236 patients were analyzed; the incidence of PND was significantly higher in diabetic than in non-diabetic patients within 30 days (59.2% vs. 36.8%) (P = 0.022). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the preoperative MoCA was an independent risk factor for PND (odds ratio, 0.88 [0.8 to 0.97]; P = 0.014), and Hosmer-Lemeshow tests showed that it could predict PND in diabetic patients (P = 0.360). According to the maximum Youden index, the optimal cutoff for preoperative MoCA was 21.5 points, yielding a specificity and sensitivity of 88.0% and 55.2% for PND. The levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and Tau in diabetic patients before and after surgery were significantly higher than in non-diabetic patients among cases of PND (P = 0.002 and 0.011, respectively). CONCLUSION The incidence of PND is higher in diabetic than in non-diabetic patients in China, and preoperative MoCA is an independent risk factor for PND in diabetics. Meanwhile, the changes in GFAP and p-Tau in diabetic patients who experienced PND were significantly higher than in non-diabetic ones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD) in laparoscopic surgery should not be overlooked. Intravenous lidocaine can reduce perioperative inflammatory response in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, while the effect of intraoperative intravenous lidocaine on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery has not been well studied. We investigated whether intraoperative lidocaine improves postoperative cognitive function after laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer. METHODS We conducted a prospective, randomized double blinded controlled trial to investigate the effect of intravenous lidocaine on rapid postoperative recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either intravenous lidocaine or saline. The primary outcome was cognitive dysfunction defined by a decrease from pre- to postoperative ≥ 2 of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, at the 3rd and the 7th postoperative days. Secondary outcomes were the MMSE raw score and parameters of the patients' postoperative recovery such as agitation and length of stay in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU), length of hospital stay, markers of inflammation (white blood cell count and CRP), and incidence of complications. RESULTS Seventy-three patients in the lidocaine group and 77 patients in the control group completed the trial. The rate of cognitive dysfunction was lower in the lidocaine group than that in the control group, both at the 3rd (18.57% vs. 63.64% for each group respectively; RR = 0.26, 95%CI = 0.19-0.32; p < 0.0001) and at the 7th postoperative day (12.33% vs. 53.25% for each group respectively; RR = 0.28, 95%CI = 0.22-0.35; P < 0.001). The postoperative MMSE scores were also higher in the lidocaine group than in the control group both at the 3rd (median 25 vs. 24 respectively) and at the 7th postoperative day (26 vs. 24 respectively). Also, patients in the lidocaine group displayed a lower white blood cell count than the control group at the 1st postoperative day (8.5 ± 2.7 vs. 10.4 ± 3.3; p < 0. 001). No differences were evidenced for the other secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative intravenous lidocaine can significantly improve postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
We aimed to analyse postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) incidence and risk factors in elderly adults who underwent surgery for oral malignancies. A total of 112 elderly patients (aged ≥ 55 years) were selected for expanded resection of oral malignancy and cervical lymphatic dissection at our institution from December 2020 to December 2021. Participants were cognitively evaluated using the neuropsychological test scale 1 day before and 7 days after surgery to determine whether they had developed POCD. Based on whether POCD occurred 7 days after surgery, patients were classified into the POCD and non-POCD groups. Logistic regression was applied to perioperative factors to analyse the risk factors for POCD onset. Seven days after surgery for oral malignancy, there were 37 (33.1%) POCD morbidities. Multiple factor logistic regression analysis revealed that venerable age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.269, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.056-1.525, P < 0.05), low education levels (OR = 0.792, 95% CI 0.644-0.974, P < 0.05), hypertension (OR = 4.153, 95% CI 1.335-12.732, P < 0.05), dyssomnia (OR = 1.272, 95% CI 1.001-1.617, P < 0.05), prolonged anaesthesia (OR = 1.009, 95% CI 1.001-1.018, P < 0.05), and intraoperative hypotension (OR = 5.512, 95% CI 1.240-24.506, P < 0.05) increased the POCD risk in elderly patients who underwent surgery for oral malignancies. Venerable age, low knowledge reserve, hypertension, dyssomnia, prolonged anaesthesia, and intraoperative hypotension are independent risk factors for POCD in elderly patients with oral malignancies.

Abstract
Purpose This study aims to evaluate the effects of the intraoperative application of low-dose esketamine on postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PND) in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia for gastrointestinal tumors. Methods Sixty-eight elderly patients were randomly allocated to two groups: the esketamine group (group Es) (0.25 mg/kg loading, 0.125mg/kg/h infusion) and the control group (group C) (received normal saline). The primary outcome was the incidence of delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR). The secondary outcomes were intraoperative blood loss, the total amount of fluid given during surgery, propofol and remifentanil consumption, cardiovascular adverse events, use of vasoactive drugs, operating and anesthesia time, the number of cases of sufentanil remedial analgesia, the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD), the intraoperative hemodynamics, bispectral index (BIS) value at 0, 1, 2 h after operation and numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores within 3 d after surgery. Results The incidence of DNR in group Es (16.13%) was lower than in group C (38.71%) (P <0.05). The intraoperative remifentanil dosage and the number of cases of dopamine used in group Es were lower than in group C (P <0.05). Compared with group C, DBP was higher at 3 min after intubation, and MAP was lower at 30 min after extubation in group Es (P<0.05). The incidence of hypotension and tachycardia in group Es was lower than in group C (P <0.05). The NRS pain score at 3 d after surgery in group Es was lower than in group C (P <0.05). Conclusion Low-dose esketamine infusion reduced to some extent the incidence of DNR in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia for gastrointestinal tumors, improved intraoperative hemodynamics and BIS value, decreased the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events and the intraoperative consumption of opioids, and relieved postoperative pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR) is a common complication after radical gastrectomy and closely associated with poor outcomes. This study aimed to investigate predictors and develop a nomogram prediction model for DNR. METHODS Elderly gastric cancer (GC) patients (≥ 65 years) undergoing elective laparoscopic radical gastrectomy between 2018 and 2022 were prospectively included in this study. DNR was diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V, 2013). Independent risk factors for DNR were screened by the multivariate logistic regression analysis. Based on these factors, the nomogram model was established and validated by R. RESULTS A total of 312 elderly GC patients were enrolled in the training set, with an incidence of DNR within postoperative 1 month of 23.4% (73/312). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age (OR: 1.207, 95%CI: 1.113-1.309, P < 0.001), nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) score (OR: 1.716, 95%CI: 1.211-2.433, P = 0.002), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (OR: 1.976, 95%CI: 1.099-3.552, P = 0.023), albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio (AFR) (OR: 0.774, 95%CI: 0.620-0.966, P = 0.024), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (OR: 0.768, 95%CI: 0.706-0.835, P < 0.001) were five independent factors for DNR in elderly GC patients. The constructed nomogram model based on these five factors has a good predictive value for DNR with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.863. CONCLUSIONS In conclusions, the established nomogram model based on age, NRS-2002, NLR, AFR, and PNI has a well predictive value for postoperative DNR in elderly GC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have explored the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients with fracture. However, no systematic review has addressed this issue. Thus, this systematic review investigated the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine on POCD in elderly patients with fracture. METHODS In this study, we searched electronic databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wang Fang and China Science and Technology Journal Database from their initiation to July 1, 2022. We considered randomized controlled trials of dexmedetomidine on POCD in elderly patients with fracture in this study. Primary outcome was measured by mini-mental state examination. Secondary outcomes were measured by total occurrence rate of postoperative cognitive dysfunction, occurrence rate of delirium, visual analogue scale and occurrence rate of adverse events. RESULTS A total of 10 studies involving 969 elderly patients with fracture are included in this study. Meta-analysis results showed that there were significant differences on mini-mental state examination at 1-day post-surgery [mean difference (MD) = 2.17; random 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06, 3.28; P < .001; I²=98%], 3-day post-surgery (MD = 2.70; random 95% CI, 1.51, 3.89; P < .001; I²=98%), and 7-day post-surgery (MD = 1.21; random 95% CI, 0.50, 1.93; P < .001; I²=86%), total occurrence rate of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (odds ratio [OR] = 0.26; fixed 95% CI, 0.11, 0.60; P = .002; I²= 0%), occurrence rate of delirium (OR = 0.29; fixed 95% CI, 0.11, 0.78; P = .01; I²= 0%), visual analogue scale (MD = -1.23; random 95% CI, -1.74, -0.72; P < .001; I²=95%), and occurrence rate of adverse events (OR = 0.32; fixed 95% CI, 0.20, 0.50; P < .001; I²= 0%) between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION The results of this study showed that dexmedetomidine could effectively manage POCD in elderly patients with fracture. However, the overall quality of included trials is not too high. Thus, the present findings should be cautiously referred.

Abstract
Little is known about the association between serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) after general anesthesia. Thus, we investigated the association of serum ALP levels with POCD in patients who underwent surgery with general anesthesia in a retrospective cohort study. We retrospectively collected data from patients who underwent surgery with general anesthesia between May 2016 and June 2020. Serum ALP activity was detected using a p-nitrophenyl phosphate assay. Pre-and postoperative cognitive function were evaluated using the Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore the effect of ALP on cognitive function. The incidence of POCD was 13.5%. Compared with the control group, the POCD group had higher ALP levels. The neuropsychological test results suggested that the scores of most items were lower in the POCD group than in the non-POCD group. Univariate logistic regression indicated that increased ALP levels were significantly associated with cognitive dysfunction (odds ratio = 1.15, 95% confidence interval: 1.13-1.18, P = .000). Multivariate regression showed that elevated ALP was still associated with POCD after adjusting for confounding factors (odds ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence interval: 1.13-1.18, P = .000). The spline regression model indicated the dose-response associations between ALP level and POCD risk (P for nonlinear trend < .001). Our study indicated that elevated serum ALP was an independent predictive factor of POCD at the 3-month follow-up. The occurrence of POCD could be associated with inflammatory status.

Abstract
William Morton introduced the world to ether anesthesia for use during surgery in the Bullfinch Building of the Massachusetts General Hospital on October 16, 1846. For nearly two centuries, the prevailing wisdom had been that the effects of general anesthetics were rapidly and fully reversible, with no apparent long-term adverse sequelae. Despite occasional concerns of a possible association between surgery and anesthesia with dementia since 1887 (Savage, 1887), our initial belief was robustly punctured following the publication in 1998 of the International Study of Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction [ISPOCD 1] study by Moller et al. (1998) in The Lancet, in which they demonstrated in a prospective fashion that there were in fact persistent adverse effects on neurocognitive function up to 3 months following surgery and that these effects were common. Since the publication of that landmark study, significant strides have been made in redefining the terminology describing cognitive dysfunction, identifying those patients most at risk, and establishing the underlying etiology of the condition, particularly with respect to the relative contributions of anesthesia and surgery. In 2018, the International Nomenclature Consensus Working Group proposed new nomenclature to standardize identification of and classify perioperative cognitive changes under the umbrella of perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) (Evered et al., 2018a). Since then, the new nomenclature has tried to describe post-surgical cognitive derangements within a unifying framework and has brought to light the need to standardize methodology in clinical studies and motivate such studies with hypotheses of PND pathogenesis. In this narrative review, we highlight the relevant literature regarding recent key developments in PND identification and management throughout the perioperative period. We provide an overview of the new nomenclature and its implications for interpreting risk factors identified by clinical association studies. We then describe current hypotheses for PND development, using data from clinical association studies and neurophysiologic data where appropriate. Finally, we offer broad clinical guidelines for mitigating PND in the perioperative period, highlighting the role of Brain Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (Brain-ERAS) protocols.

Abstract
This study sought to determine whether intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion might reduce the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and alleviate the neuroinflammatory response in patients who have undergone arthroscopic shoulder surgery. A total of 80 patients over 60 years of age who had undergone arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the beach chair position were randomly allocated to either the dexmedetomidine group (Group D) or the control group (Group C). Dexmedetomidine (0.6 μg/kg/h) or a comparable amount of normal saline was infused into each group during the surgery. The early incidence of POCD was assessed by comparing cognitive tests on the day before and 1 d after surgery. The neuroinflammatory response with the S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100β) assay was compared prior to anesthetic induction and 1 h following surgery. The incidence of POCD was comparable between groups D (n = 9, 22.5%) and C (n = 9, 23.7%) (p = 0.901). However, the results of the cognitive test revealed a significant difference between the groups after surgery (p = 0.004). Although the S100β levels measured at the end of surgery were significantly higher than those at baseline in both groups (p < 0.001), there was no difference between the groups after the surgery (p = 0.236). Our results suggest that intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion neither reduce the incidence of early POCD nor alleviated the neuroinflammatory response in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Abstract
Objective. Elderly patients with hip surgery are prone to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), leading to health management difficulties. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of ultrasound radiomics-guided iliac fascia block on POCD. Methods. A total of 67 cases of patients who had undergone hip joint surgery were divided into a training set (
) and a validation set (radiomics-guided group,
). The patients were intervened with ultrasound radiomics-guided iliac fascia block, and the maximum relevance minimum redundancy sifts out the image omics features obtained from 2D ultrasound images of patients. Another 20 patients undergone general anesthesia served as control. The incidence of POCD, the total amount of fentanyl, the visual analogue score (VAS) at different time points, and the levels of CRP and NSE in plasma were compared between the two groups. Results. The AUC on the training and validation sets were higher than 0.940. The incidence of POCD in the radiomics-guided and general anesthesia group was 5% and 30%, respectively (
). Compared with the general anesthesia group, the dosage of fentanyl in the radiomics-guided was lower, the VAS score at 6 h, 1 d, and 2 d after operation was smaller, and the levels of CRP and NSE were lower (all
). Conclusions. For elderly patients with hip surgery, the ultrasound radiomics-guided iliac fascia block can reduce the incidence of POCD and improve the effect of nerve block.

Abstract
Postoperative neurological disorders, including postoperative delirium (POD), postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), postoperative covert ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke, are challenging clinical problems in the emerging aged surgical population. These disorders can deteriorate functional outcomes and long‐term quality of life after surgery, resulting in a substantial social and financial burden to the family and society. Understanding predisposing and precipitating factors may promote individualized preventive treatment for each disorder, as several risk factors are modifiable. Besides prevention, timely identification and treatment of etiologies and symptoms can contribute to better recovery from postoperative neurological disorders and lower risk of long‐term cognitive impairment, disability, and even death. Herein, we summarize the diagnosis, risk factors, prevention, and treatment of these postoperative complications, with emphasis on recent advances and perspectives.

Abstract
Background Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is defined as cognitive dysfunction related to inflammation after surgical procedures, which is common following cardiac surgery. Cognitive deficits are thought to result from a systemic inflammatory response. C-reactive protein (CRP) and other proinflammatory cytokines, which are released in response to inflammation, disrupt the blood–brain barrier and neurotransmission, resulting in POCD. This study aimed to determine the correlation between POCD and increased levels of CRP in patients who had undergone heart valve replacement. Methods This study comprised 32 patients with normal cognitive function undergoing heart valve replacement. The CRP levels were measured before surgery and on the second postoperative day, and cognitive function was examined via the Indonesian-adapted Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA-INA) on the third postoperative day. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation test. Results Of the 32 patients, 28 (87.5%) experienced POCD. The median level of CRP was 6.6 mg/dL (interquartile range: 4.0, 8.3 g/dL). According to Spearman correlation test, increased levels of CRP were significantly related to POCD following heart valve replacement (p = 0.003, r = 0.501). The receiver operating characteristic curve indicated that the CRP cutoff level was 3.345 mg/dL, and the sensitivity and specificity were 89.3% and 75%, respectively. Conclusion High expression level of CRP was correlated with POCD following heart valve replacement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to investigate the risk factors of perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) mainly including postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors, and evaluate its predictive value. METHODS A total of 222 eligible elderly patients (≥65 years) scheduled for elective gastroenterectomy under general anesthesia were enrolled. The cognitive function assessment was carried out 1 day before surgery and 7 days after surgery. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of risk factors for early POCD. The risk factors for POCD were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression model. RESULTS Of all the 222 enrolled patients, 91 (41.0%) developed early POCD and 40 (18.0%) were identified as major POCD within 7 days after the surgery. Visual analogue score (VAS, 1st day, resting) ≥4 (OR = 7.618[3.231-17.962], P < 0.001) and alcohol exposure (OR = 2.398[1.174-4.900], P = 0.016) were independent risk factors for early POCD. VAS score (1st, resting) ≥4 (OR = 13.823[4.779-39.981], P < 0.001), preoperative white blood cell (WBC) levels ≥10 × 10*9/L (OR = 5.548[1.128-26.221], P = 0.035), blood loss ≥500 ml (OR = 3.317[1.094-10.059], P = 0.034), history of hypertension (OR = 3.046[1.267-7.322], P = 0.013), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ≥2 (OR = 3.261[1.020-10.419], P = 0.046) were independent risk factors for major POCD. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that VAS score (1st day, resting) was a significant predictor for major POCD with a cut-off value of 2.68 and an area under the curve of 0.860 (95% confidence interval: 0.801-0.920, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The risk factors for early POCD after gastroenterectomy included high VAS score (1st day, resting) and alcohol exposure. High VAS score, preoperative WBC levels ≥10 × 10*9/L, blood loss ≥500 ml, NLR ≥2, and history of hypertension were independent risk factors for major POCD. Among them, VAS score was one of the important predictors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect cerebrospinal fluid levels of amyloid beta- protein 42 (Aβ42) and neurofilament light protein (NFL) and explore their correlation with postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PNCD) in elderly patients. OBJECTIVE A total of 90 elderly patients undergoing hip or knee replacement with joint epidural anesthesia in our Hospital between January, 2017 and December, 2018 were recruited in this study. The levels of Aβ42 and NFL in the cerebrospinal fluid were detected using ELISA. Simple cognitive status assessment scale (MMSE) was used to evaluate the cognitive status of the patients 1 day before and 7 days after the surgery. All the patients underwent neurocognitive function tests, and the z-score method was used to determine the occurrence of PNCD. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of Aβ42 and NFL levels in the cerebrospinal fluid with MMSE scores. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive value of cerebrospinal fluid Aβ42 and NFL levels for PNCD. OBJECTIVE PNCD occurred in 38 of the 90 elderly patients, with an incidence of 42.2%. The level of Aβ42 in the cerebrospinal fluid was significantly lower in PNCD group than in the nonPNCD group (1.96 vs 2.54 ng/mL; t=3.29, P < 0.05); the concentration of NFL in the cerebrospinal fluid was significantly higher in PNCD group than in non- PNCD group (4.59 vs 3.16 ng/mL; t=3.72, P < 0.05). Aβ42 level in the cerebrospinal fluid was positively correlated while NFL was negatively correlated with the MMSE score of the patients (r=-0.659, P < 0.05; r=-0.626, P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of cerebrospinal fluid Aβ42 and NFL levels were 0.744 and 0.768, respectively; the AUC of their combination was 0.847 for prediction of PNCD. OBJECTIVE Elderly patients with PNCD have significantly higher levels of Aβ42 and NFL in the cerebrospinal fluid than those without PNCD. Both Aβ42 and NFL levels in the cerebrospinal fluid can help to predict the occurrence of POCD in elderly patients, and their combination has a higher diagnostic value.

Abstract
Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) is characterized by a deterioration in cognitive performance after surgery and is increasingly addressed in research studies. However, a uniform definition of POCD seems to be lacking, which is a major threat to clinical research in this area. We performed a focused systematic review to determine the current degree of heterogeneity in how POCD is defined across studies and to identify those diagnostic criteria that are used most commonly. The search identified 173 records, of which 30 were included. Neurocognitive testing was most commonly performed shortly before surgery and at 7 days postoperatively. A variety of neurocognitive tests were used to test a range of cognitive domains, including complex attention, language, executive functioning, perceptual-motor function, and learning and memory. The tests that were used most commonly were the Mini-Mental State Examination, the digit span test, the trail making test part A, and the digit symbol substitution test, but consensus on which test result would be considered “positive” for POCD was sparse. The results of this systematic review suggest the lack of a consistent approach towards defining POCD. However, commonalities were identified which may serve as a common denominator for deriving consensus-based diagnostic guidelines for POCD.

Abstract
Although type 2 diabetes is an important predictor of perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND), little is currently known about its mechanism of action. Adult male db/db and db/m mice were subjected to four different treatments, including either sham or tibial fracture surgery as well as intraperitoneal injection of vehicle or TAK-242 (the selective inhibitor of TLR4) at 1, 24, and 48 h after surgery. The fear conditioning test was performed to detect cognitive impairment on post-operative day (POD) 3. The hippocampus was collected on POD 1 for western-blots and on POD 3 for western-blots, transmission electron microscopy, and electrophysiological experiments. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibition reversed more profound decline in the freezing behavior of db/db mice on POD 3. The surgery reduced the slope of hippocampal field excitatory postsynaptic potentials, and induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage in db/db mice on POD 3. The surgery also increased protein levels of TLR4, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, albumin, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9, and decreased protein levels of claudin-5, occludin, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1, and TIMP-2 in the hippocampus of db/db and db/m mice. These changes were all reversed by TAK-242 treatment. At last, compared with those in post-operative db/m mice, the surgery increased protein levels of TLR4, TNF-α, and IL-1β, decreased protein levels of claudin-5 and occludin, and sustained the MMP/TIMP imbalance in the hippocampus of db/db mice on POD 3. Our results suggest that TLR4-mediated aggravated hippocampal MMP/TIMP imbalance, BBB disruption, sustained inflammatory cytokine release, and impairment of long-term potentiation play a key role in tibial fracture surgery-induced persistent PND in db/db mice.

Abstract
The article presents an algorithm for perioperative nutritional support of surgical patients operated on as planned. Today, planned surgical care is provided in accordance with the canons of the accelerated rehabilitation Program (ARP). The relevance of the problem of nutritional insufficiency, which is an important component of ARP, is due to the dependence of the results of surgical treatment on the initial nutritional status of the patient. Methods of screening for nutritional deficiency and options for correcting protein-energy disorders are described. The predominant method is the enteral delivery of nutrients and energy. Oral supplemental nutrition by sipping is a convenient way to correct nutritional disorders at all stages of the perioperative period.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) involves patient memory and learning decline after surgery. POCD not only presents challenges for postoperative nursing and recovery but may also cause permanent brain damage for patients, including children and the aged, with vulnerable central nervous systems. Its occurrence is mainly influenced by surgical trauma, anesthetics, and the health condition of the patient. There is a lack of imaging and experimental diagnosis; therefore, patients can only be diagnosed by clinical observation, which may underestimate the morbidity, resulting in decreased treatment efficacy. Except for symptomatic support therapy, there is a relative lack of effective drugs specific for the treatment of POCD, because the precise mechanism of POCD remains to be determined. One current hypothesis is that postoperative inflammation promotes the progression of POCD. Accumulating research has indicated that overactivation of NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes contribute to the POCD progression, suggesting that targeting NLRP3 inflammasomes may be an effective therapy to treat POCD. In this review, we summarize recent studies and systematically describe the pathogenesis, treatment progression, and potential treatment options of targeting NLRP3 inflammasomes in POCD patients.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the potential risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients with gastric cancer (GC) after radical gastrectomy. METHODS In total, 221 elderly patients with GC who were scheduled to undergo selective radical gastrectomy in our hospital were enrolled in this study. To define early POCD, the neuropsychological assessment was carried out 1 day before surgery and 7 days after surgery. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was carried out to evaluate the predicative and cut-off values of risk factors, including neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for early POCD. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate risk factors for early POCD. RESULTS Of the 221 enrolled elderly patients with GC, 42 were identified as early POCD with an incidence of 19.0% (42 of 221). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that NLR was a significant predictor for POCD with a cut-off value of 2.50 and an area under the curve of 0.711 (95% confidence interval: 0.624-0.798, P < 0.001). Preoperative NLR (≥2.50) was the only independent risk factor associated with POCD (odds ratio: 2.44, 95% confidence interval: 1.52-3.68, P = 0.013) by the multivariate logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative NLR level was an independent risk factor for POCD in elderly patients with GC undergoing curative resection. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; 20: 927-931.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) refers to a reversible, perioperative mental disorder. POCD increases the likelihood of postoperative complications and the risk for postoperative mortality, typically among elderly patients (age 65 or older). The importance of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) in resolving neuro-inflammatory and cognitive decline caused by sterile trauma has been recognized. We speculate that the POCD in elderly mice is associated with dysfunction of CAP. METHODS Mice were assigned to several groups (n = 5 in each group): AM (adult mice) Sham, AM (adult mice) Surgery, EM (elderly mice) Sham, EM (elderly mice) Surgery, and EMP (elderly mice with PNU) Surgery. At 24 h after surgery, assessed the cognitive levels. Pro-inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood and splenic monocytes (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10) were assessed by ELISA and qPCR. Levels of M2 macrophages in hippocampus were visualized by immunofluorescence. Detecting CD11b/c+α7 nAChR+ cells in the spleens with flow cytometry. RESULTS At postoperative 24 h, elderly mice exhibited significantly increased POCD compared with adult mice. The proinflammatory factor TNF-α and IL-6 were higher among elderly surgery mice (EM) compared with adult surgery (AM) and elderly-P surgery mice (EM-P); the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 and M2 macrophages were lower among EM surgery mice compared with AM surgery and EM-P surgery mice. The CD11b/c+α7 nAChR+ population of splenocytes was reduced in the EM surgery mice. CONCLUSIONS The exaggerated and persistent cognitive decline and inflammatory response among elderly mice were associated with dysfunction of CAP, and these phenomena were reversed by α7nAch receptor agonists.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction is a common complication in elderly patients after surgeries involving anesthesia, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Lithium is a conventional treatment for bipolar disorder, which exerts a neuroprotective role in various diseases by inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase‐3β (GSK‐3β) in the brain and spinal cord. However, it is not known whether lithium chloride (LiCl) can protect against cognitive dysfunction induced by sevoflurane (SEV) anesthesia. Here, we examined the effects of LiCl on SEV‐induced cognitive dysfunction in rats and on SEV‐induced neuron apoptosis. We report that anesthesia with SEV significantly impaired memory performance, induced oxidative stress and hippocampal neuron apoptosis, and stimulated GSK‐3β activity. Treatment with LiCl ameliorated SEV‐induced cognitive disorder in rats by inhibiting the GSK‐3β/β‐catenin signaling pathway. In addition, LiCl reduced hippocampal neuron apoptosis and oxidative stress induced by SEV anesthesia. These results suggest that LiCl may have potential for development into a therapeutic agent for treatment of SEV anesthesia‐induced cognitive dysfunction.
