In our previous experiment, we found that there were abnormal levels of circRNA-089763 in the plasma exosomes of patients with postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) after cardiac surgery. Therefore, the aim of this study was to further investigate the relationship between plasma circRNA-089763 level and POCD in elderly patients after non-cardiac surgery. A prospective cohort study was conducted to select elderly patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. A total of 72 patients were enrolled in this study, and cognitive functions were assessed 1 day before and 3 days after surgery by a series of neuropsychological measurements. Next, patients were divided into POCD and non-POCD (NPOCD) groups according to the score method. Blood was collected the day before and 3 days after surgery, and the plasma circRNA-089763 level was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Then, the difference and correlation in plasma circRNA-089763 levels between the POCD and NPOCD groups were analyzed. On the third day after surgery, the incidence of POCD was 30.56%. The relative level of circRNA-089763 in the POCD group was 2.41 times higher than that in the NPOCD group ( = 4.711, < 0.001), patients in POCD group had higher age ( = 5.971, < 0.001), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (χ = 14.726, < 0.001), less years of education ( = 2.449, = 0.017), more intraoperative blood loss ( = 3.196, = 0.002), and higher visual analog scale (VAS) scores ( = 10.45, < 0.001). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that the circRNA-089763 level, age, and intraoperative blood loss were independently associated with POCD (OR: 2.75, 95% CI: 1.261-5.999, = 0.011; OR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.114-1.565, = 0.001; OR: 1.017, 95% CI: 1.004-1.03, = 0.011). These results demonstrated that the circRNA-089763 plasma level was related to POCD after non-cardiac surgery in elderly patients.
在我们之前的实验中,我们发现心脏手术后发生术后认知功能障碍(POCD)的患者血浆外泌体中circRNA - 089763水平异常。因此,本研究的目的是进一步探讨老年患者非心脏手术后血浆circRNA - 089763水平与POCD之间的关系。进行了一项前瞻性队列研究以选择接受择期非心脏手术的老年患者。本研究共纳入72例患者,术前1天和术后3天通过一系列神经心理学测量评估认知功能。接下来,根据评分方法将患者分为POCD组和非POCD(NPOCD)组。在术前1天和术后3天采集血液,通过定量实时聚合酶链反应(qRT - PCR)检测血浆circRNA - 089763水平。然后,分析POCD组和NPOCD组之间血浆circRNA - 089763水平的差异及相关性。术后第3天,POCD的发生率为30.56%。POCD组中circRNA - 089763的相对水平比NPOCD组高2.41倍(t = 4.711,P < 0.001),POCD组患者年龄更大(t = 5.971,P < 0.001),美国麻醉医师协会分级更高(χ² = 14.726,P < 0.001),受教育年限更少(t = 2.449,P = 0.017),术中失血量更多(t = 3.196,P = 0.002),视觉模拟评分(VAS)更高(t = 10.45,P < 0.001)。二元逻辑回归分析显示,circRNA - 089763水平、年龄和术中失血量与POCD独立相关(OR:2.75,95%CI:1.261 - 5.999,P = 0.011;OR:1.32,95%CI:1.114 - 1.565,P = 0.001;OR:1.017,95%CI:1.004 - 1.03,P = 0.011)。这些结果表明,老年患者非心脏手术后血浆circRNA - 089763水平与POCD有关。
