Brief Summary

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a subtle cognitive dysfunction, especially postoperative memory impairment lasting for weeks or months. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism of POCD remain unclear. The aim of this study is to explore the epigenetic changes during perioperative period and its correlation with POCD in surgical patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Correlation of epigenetic changes with POCD

    The present study will examine concentration of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in whole blood by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to determine the correlation of epigenetic changes with POCD in surgical patients.

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The effects of surgical and anesthesia stress on epigenetic changes

    24 hours

Study Arms (2)

non-POCD

Patients who don't develop POCD after surgery.

POCD

Patients who develop POCD after surgery.
