Objective To evaluate the effect of long?time mechanical ventilation on early postoper?ative inflammatory responses in the hippocampi of mice. Methods Forty?eight healthy male C57BL∕6 mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=16 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) , operation group ( group O) and long?time mechanical ventilation after operation group ( group MV) . Open reduction and internal fixation was performed after tibial fracture was induced in O and MV groups. Group O inhaled isoflurane for 6 h after operation. The mice were me?chanically ventilated for 6 h under isoflurane anesthesia in group MV. On 1 and 3 days after the end of ven?tilation, 8 mice were randomly selected, and contextual fear conditioning test was carried out to assess the cognitive function. The rate of time spent freezing was calculated. Then venous blood samples were collected and hippocampi removed for determination of the levels of interleukin?6 ( IL?6) , tumor necrosis factor?al?pha ( TNF?α) and IL?1β in plasma and hippocampal tissues by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. Re?sults Compared with group C, the rate of time spent freezing was significantly decreased, and the levels of IL?6, TNF?α and IL?1β in plasma and hippocampal tissues were significantly increased after the end of ventilation in group O ( P<0.01) . Compared with group O, the rate of time spent freezing was significantly decreased, and the levels of IL?6, TNF?α and IL?1β in plasma and hippocampal tissues were significantly increased after the end of ventilation in group MV ( P<0.01) . Conclusion The mechanism by which long?time mechanical ventilation leads to early postoperative cognitive dysfunction is related to induction of in?flammatory responses in the hippocampi of mice.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between inflammatory responses induced by perioperative infection and surgical stress and postoperative cognitive dysfunction in mice. Methods One hundred forty?four healthy male C57BL∕6 mice, aged 8-12 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=36 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) , surgery group ( group S) , infection group ( group I) , and infection+surgery group ( group I+S) . In group S, the open reduction and internal fixation was performed after tibial fracture was induced. Lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) 100 μg∕kg was injected intraperitoneally at the same time every day for 5 consecutive days starting from 1 day before surgery in group I. In group I+S, LPS 100 μg∕kg was injected intraperitoneally at the same time every day for 5 consecutive days starting from 1 day before surgery, and the open reduction and internal fixation was per?formed after tibial fracture was induced at 2 h after LPS injection on the day of surgery. Contextual fear con?ditioning test was performed on 1 and 3 days after surgery, and cognitive function was assessed. The rate of freezing time was calculated. The peripheral venous blood samples were collected for determination of plas?ma interleukin?6 ( IL?6) and IL?1β concentrations by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. The animals were then sacrificed, and the hippocampi were isolated for determination of IL?6, IL?1β and prostaglandin E2 ( PGE2 ) contents in hippocampal tissues by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. Results Compared with group C, the rate of freezing time was significantly decreased on 1 and 3 days after surgery, and the contents of IL?6, IL?1βand PGE2 in hippocampal tissues were significantly increased on 1 and 3 days after surgery in S and I+S groups, the concentrations of plasma IL?6 and IL?1βwere significantly increased on 1 day after surgery, and the concentration of plasma IL?1βwas significantly increased on 3 days after surgery in group S, the concentrations of plasma IL?6 and IL?1β were significantly increased on 1 and 3 days after surgery in I and I+S groups ( P<0?01) , and no significant change was found in the rate of freezing time on 1 and 3 days after surgery in group I ( P>0?05) . Compared with group S or group I, the rate of freezing time was significantly decreased on 1 and 3 days after surgery, and the concentrations of IL?6 and IL?1βin plasma and contents of IL?6, IL?1β and PGE2 in hippocampal tissues were significantly increased on 1 and 3 days after surgery in group I+S ( P<0?01) . Conclusion Inflammatory responses induced by periopera?tive infection and surgical stress can aggravate postoperative cognitive dysfunction in mice.
