The object of our work was to observe whether the Mongolian medicine Eerdun Wurile (EW) improve postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) by affecting the TLR4/NF-κB. Mice (6-8-week-old male C57BL/6 J) were selected to establish an animal model of POCD by combining intracerebroventricular injection of lipopolysaccharide and nephrectomy; EW formulation and EW basic formulation were administered intra-gastrically for 7 consecutive days. The cognitive performance was assessed by Morris water maze test.

Eerdun wurile may effect anti-postoperative cognitive function.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the molecular mechanism of the Mongolian medicine Eerdun Wurile Basic Formula (EWB) in improving postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) based on Network pharmacology, and to confirm involvement of the SIRT1/p53 signal pathway, one of the key signal pathways, by using the POCD mouse model.
Objective: To study the effect of , a traditional Mongolian medicine, on the cognitive function of rats by activating the IRS-PI3K-AKT-GLUT4 pathway in an animal model of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).
Methods: Fifty clean-grade adults Sprague Dawley (SD) male rats were assigned to one of five groups: (1) a control group with no anesthesia (Group C), (2) a POCD model group with anesthesia only (Group P), (3) POCD group with low-dose EW treated (Group L), (4) a POCD group with high-dose EW treated (Group H), and (5) a POCD model group with dexmedetomidine treated (Group D) for positive control. The study started 7 days after all rats had acclimated to housing.
