Abstract:
Objective To find a model of long-term postoperative cognitive dysfunction by hav-ing a splenectomy operation or cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 18 months,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =20):splenectomy group (group A),cardiopul-monary bypass group (group B)and control group (group C).From 31 st to 35 th days after the opera-tion,the learning and memory capability of rats were observed through the Morris water maze,the Shuttle box text and Open field test.Results Compared with group C,the frequency of crossing the original platform [(5.2±2.2)times vs.(8.6±3.2)times],the times of initiative avoiding were sig-nificantly reduced [(12.3±2.7)times vs.(1 5.2±1.8)times],the latency of the initiative avoiding was significantly prolonged [(9.50±2.31 )s vs.(5.14 ± 1.43 )s],the number of standing on the back legs [(6.8±1.5)times vs.(10.2±1.7)times]and rearing were significantly reduced [(13.8± 2.6)times vs.(1 9.5±2.2)times],and the time that animals spent in the central square [(7.78 ± 1.5 1)s vs.(5.34±0.72)s]and escape latency were significantly prolonged in group B (P <0.05). Compared with group A,the time that animals spent in the central square in group B was significantly prolonged [(7.78±1.5 1)s vs.(6.06 ±1.67)s,P <0.05].Conclusion The model by having car-diopulmonary bypass operation is an ideal model of postoperative cognitive dysfunction after cardio-vascular anesthesia,for the learning and memory capability is remarkably changed.
