To investigate the incidence of postoperative neuropsychic dysfunction (PND) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) and to analyze its influencing factors. A prospective study was conducted between January 2020 and December 2022, recruiting PD patients from the Functional Neurosurgery Outpatient Clinic of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. All patients were scheduled to undergo bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN)-DBS surgery. Perioperative clinical data were collected, and PND (outcome measure) within 3 days postoperatively was assessed using the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Hamilton depression and anxiety scales, and 3-minute diagnostic interview for confusion assessment method (3D-CAM). Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PND. A total of 216 PD patients were enrolled. Within 3 days after DBS surgery, 77 patients (35.6%) developed PND, including 24 cases (31.2%) of depression or worsening depression, 16 cases (20.8%) of anxiety or worsening anxiety, 13 cases (16.9%) of cognitive decline, and 24 cases (31.2%) of delirium. Univariate analysis revealed that dural opening method, dural opening time, intraoperative improvement rate of the unified Parkinson's disease rating scale -Ⅲ (UPDRS-Ⅲ) score, and postoperative intracranial air volume were significantly different between PND and non-PND patients (all PD patients have a high incidence of PND after DBS surgery. Sex, postoperative intracranial air volume, and the degree of improvement in PD motor symptoms can influence the risk of PND. These findings highlight the importance of individualized management based on sex, improving surgical techniques, and enhancing monitoring of neuropsychiatric status to optimize the efficacy of DBS surgery.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after craniotomy.Methods:This was a single-center retrospective cohort study.The patients who underwent craniotomy in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2019 to May 2020 were enrolled.The occurrence of CPSP, anxiety, depression and quality of life were determined by telephone follow-up with Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire-2, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item, a five-level EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire.The patients were divided into CPSP group ( n=106) and non-CPSP group ( n=252) according to the results of investigation.Then univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the risk factors for CPSP. Results:There was significant difference in age, a history of preoperative pain, a history of alcohol addiction, transoccipital approach and degree of lesion resection between the two groups ( P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 60 yr was a protective factor for CPSP after craniotomy; a history of preoperative pain ≥3 months, a history of alcohol addiction, transoccipital approach and partial resection of the lesion were independent risk factors for CPSP after craniotomy. Conclusion:Age≥60 yr is a protective factor for CPSP after craniotomy; a history of preoperative pain (≥3 months), a history of alcohol addiction, transoccipital approach and partial resection of the lesion are independent risk factors for CPSP after craniotomy.

Objective To compare the accuracy of somatosensory evoked potentials(SSEPs), motor evoked potentials(MEPs), regional cerebral oxygen saturation(rSO2)and multimodal monitoring in monitoring cerebral ischemia in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy(CEA). Methods Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 46-76 yr, scheduled for elective CEA, were enrolled in the study. SSEPs, MEPs and rSO2were monitored during CEA. The event of intraoperative cerebral ischemia was defined as:(1)SSEP escape latency prolongation of 10% and∕or amplitude decrease of 50%;(2)disappearance of MEP amplitude;(3)decrease in rSO2>20% of the baseline value;(4)When multimodal monitoring was applied, the event of intraopera-tive cerebral ischemia could be defined as long as one variable previously described met the condition. The gold standard of perioperative cerebral ischemia was defined as:(1)the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score≥4 at 1, 3 and 5 days after operation than before operation was considered as neurologi-cal dysfunction;(2)cranial CT showed a new ipsilateral cerebral focal ischemia, and postoperative in-tracranial hemorrhage diseases were excluded. Results Five cases developed cerebral ischemia after opera-tion. The sensitivity and specificity of SSEPs in predicting cerebral ischemia were 80% and 83%, respec-tively;MEPs 80% and 80%, respectively; SSEPs+MEPs 100% and 79%, respectively; rSO260% and 93%, respectively;SSEPs+MEPs+rSO2100% and 7%, respectively. Decrease in rSO2> 20% of the base-line value was consistent with SSEP escape latency prolongation of 10% and∕or amplitude decrease of 50%in diagnosis of cerebral ischemia(Kappa value 0.67, P<0.01); decrease in rSO2>20% of the baseline value was consistent with disappearance of MEP amplitude in diagnosis of cerebral ischemia(Kappa value 0.54, P<0.01). Conclusion rSO2has a good agreement with SSEPs and MEPs in diagnosis of cerebral ischemia during CEA; combination of SSEPs and MEPs produces better accuracy in monitoring cerebral is-chemia.
