Background: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a complication of central nervous system in patients after surgery. Edaravone as a brain-protective agent may have protective effect on postoperative cognitive function. The study was designed to explore the effects of edaravone on postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing hip joint replacement surgery and potential mechanism.
Patients And Methods: Patients undergoing hip joint replacement surgery were randomly allocated into 2 groups: the edaravone group (group E) and the control group (group C). Group E received intravenous edaravone at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg after induction of anesthesia, while group C received normal saline. The cognitive function was evaluated with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) 1day before surgery,3 days and the 7 days after surgery. Patients' plasma samples were collected to detect the levels of S100β protein (S100β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) before the induction of anesthesia, at the end of surgery and on postoperative day 3.
Results: The MMSE scores in group E were higher than those of group C 3 days after surgery (25.98 ± 1.99 vs 24.86 ± 1.86, p = 0.003). There were remarkable rises (p < 0.05) in plasma IL-6, S100βand MMP-9 levels at the end of surgery and on postoperative day 3 in the two groups, however, edaravone pretreatment could reduce these levels to a certain extent compared with group C (p < 0.05).In group E, the SOD concentration was higher at the end of surgery (16.03 ± 2.46U/ml vs. 13.65 ± 2.53U/ml, p = 0.0001), while the MDA level was lower on postoperative day 3 than those in group C (7.01 ± 2.37 nmol/ml vs. 11.34 ± 3.18 nmol/ml, p = 0.0001).
Conclusion: The results indicated that preoperative intervention with edaravone may improve the postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing hip joint replacement surgery.

Impact of Pediatric Posterior Fossa Tumor Treatments on Working Memory Tracts Using Resting-State fMRI and Tractography.

Toulouse NeuroImaging Center (ToNIC), INSERM, University of Toulouse Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France.
Background And Purpose: Working memory, a primary cognitive domain, is often impaired in pediatric brain tumor survivors, affecting their attention and processing speed. This study investigated the long-term effects of treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy (RT), and chemotherapy (CT), on working memory tracts in children with posterior fossa tumors (PFTs) using resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) and diffusion MRI tractography.
Methods: This study included 16 medulloblastoma (MB) survivors treated with postoperative RT and CT, 14 pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) survivors treated with surgery alone, and 16 healthy controls from the Imaging Memory after Pediatric Cancer in children, adolescents, and young adults study (NCT04324450).
Bibliometric Analysis of Neuroinflammation and Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction.

Department of Anesthesiology, the Second Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, People's Republic of China.
Background: The occurrence and development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) are closely linked to neuroinflammation. This bibliometric analysis aims to provide novel insights into the research trajectory, key research topics, and potential future development trends in the field of neuroinflammation-induced POCD.
Methods: The Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was searched to identify publications from 2012 to 2023 on neuroinflammation-induced POCD.

Objectives: Real-time monitoring of cochlear function to predict the loss of residual hearing after cochlear implantation is now possible. Current approaches monitor the cochlear microphonic (CM) during implantation from the electrode at the tip of the implant. A drop in CM response of >30% is associated with poorer hearing outcomes.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is implicated in bioenergetics, DNA repair, and senescence. Depletion of NAD is associated with aging and neurodegenerative disease, prompting a growing interest in NAD supplementation. With rising over-the-counter use of NAD, understanding their impact on anesthetic recovery becomes essential.
