Objective:To evaluate the relationship between hippocampal receptor-interacting protein kinase-1 (RIPK1) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes in postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction of aged rats with chronic knee arthritis pain.Methods:Sixty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 18 months, weighing 500-550 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=16 each) using a random number table method: chronic knee arthritis pain group (group P), chronic knee arthritis pain+ operation group (group PS), RIPK1 inhibitor necrostatin-1+ chronic knee arthritis pain+ operation group (group NPS), and DMSO+ chronic knee arthritis pain+ operation group (group DPS). The knee arthritis model was prepared by intra-articular injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) 1 mg into the left knee joint, and 12 weeks later exploratory laparotomy was performed under sevoflurane anesthesia. Necrostatin-1 6.25 mg/kg and the equal volume of DMSO were intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before operation in NPS group and DPS group, respectively. Thermal pain threshold was measured at 1 week before MIA injection and 6 and 12 weeks after MIA injection. Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the cognitive function at 7 days after surgery. Hippocampal tissues were obtained for microscopic examination of the pathological changes (after HE staining) and for determination of the expression of RIPK1, phosphorylated RIPK1 (p-RIPK1), NLRP3, activated cysteine-aspartic protease caspase-1 (cl-caspase-1), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) (by Western blot) and contents of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and IL-18 (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:Thermal pain threshold was significantly decreased at 6 and 12 weeks after MIA injection as compared with that before injection ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in thermal pain threshold among the four groups ( P>0.05). Compared with P group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the expression of RIPK1, p-RIPK1, NLRP3, cl-caspase-1 and ASC was up-regulated, and the contents of IL-1β and IL-18 were increased ( P<0.05), and pathological changes of hippocampal neurons were marked in PS group, DPS group and NPS group. Compared with PS group and DPS group, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, the expression of RIPK1, p-RIPK1, NLRP3, cl-caspase-1 and ASC was down-regulated, the contents of IL-1β and IL-18 were decreased ( P<0.05), and pathological changes of hippocampal neurons were significantly attenuated in NPS group. Conclusions:Postoperative hippocampal RIPK1 function is enhanced in aged rats with chronic knee arthritis pain, which then activates NLRP3 inflammasomes, triggering neuroinflammation, and this process may be involved in the mechanism of postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction.

Objective:To evaluate the role of transient receptor potential melastatin2 (TRPM2) in sevoflurane anesthesia-induced necroptosis in hippocampal neurons of aged rats.Methods:Sixty SPF-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 22 months, weighing 550-600 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), sevoflurane anesthesia group (group M) and sevoflurane anesthesia+ TRPM2 inhibitor group (group M+ A). M and M+ A groups inhaled 2% sevoflurane for 5 h. In group M+ A, TRPM2 inhibitor ACA 20 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before sevoflurane inhalation, and the equal volume of dimethyl sulfoxide was intraperitoneally injected in group C and group M. Morris water maze test was performed at 1 day after sevoflurane anesthesia. The escape latency, times of crossing the original platform and time spent in the original platform quadrant were collected. The expression of TRPM2 and necroptosis-related proteins (mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein [MLKL], receptor-interacting protein kinase-1 [RIPK1], phosphorylated MLKL [p-MLKL], and phosphorylated RIPK1 [p-RIPK1]) was detected by Western blot. The cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration in and necroptosis rate of hippocampal neurons were determined by flow cytometry. Results:Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the times of crossing the original platform were decreased and the time spent in the original platform quadrant was shortened, the expression of TRPM2, MLKL, RIPK1, p-MLKL and p-RIPK1 was up-regulated, and the cytosolic Ca 2+ concentrations in hippocampal neurons and necroptosis rate of hippocampal neurons were increased in group M and group M+ A ( P<0.05). Compared with group M, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the times of crossing the original platform were increased, and the time spent in the original platform quadrant was prolonged, the expression of TRPM2, MLKL, RIPK1, p-MLKL and p-RIPK1 was down-regulated, and the cytosolic Ca 2+ concentrations in hippocampal neurons and necroptosis rate of hippocampal neurons were decreased in group M+ A ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Hippocampal TRPM2 is involved in the process of sevoflurane anesthesia-induced necroptosis in hippocampal neurons of aged rats.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of necrostatin-1 (Nec-1)pre-treatment on postoperative cognitive function in aged rats with chronic pain due to knee arthritis.Methods:One hundred and twenty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 22 months, weighing 550-600 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: chronic pain due to knee arthritis group(group P), chronic pain due to knee arthritis + operation group (group PS), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + chronic pain due to knee arthritis + operation group (DMSO+ PS group), and necrostatin-1 + chronic pain due to knee arthritis + operation group (Nec-1+ PS group). The inflammation-induced knee arthritis model was developed by injecting monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) into the left joint cavity.The exploratory laparotomy under sevoflurane anesthesia was performed at 12 weeks after intra-articular MIA injection. In Nec-1+ PS group and DMSO+ PS group, necrosstatin-1 6.25 mg/kg and the equal dose of DMSO were intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before surgery, respectively. At 7 days after surgery, the Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the cognitive function, the activation of microglial cells in the dentate gyrus of hippocampus was observed by immunofluorescent staining, and the activation rate of microglia cells was calculated, the necrosis rate of neurons was determined by flow cytometry, the expression of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)and phosphorylated mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (p-MLKL) was determined by Western blot, and the contents of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and IL-6 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results:Compared with P group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened, and the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the activation rate of microglia cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus and necrosis rate of hippocampal neurons were increased, the expression of RIPK1 and p-MLKL was up-regulated, and the contents of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in hippocampus were increased in PS, DMSO+ PS and Nec-1+ PS groups ( P<0.05). Compared with PS group and DMSO+ PS group, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was prolonged, and the number of crossing the original platform was increased, the activation rate of microglia cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus and necrosis rate of hippocampal neurons were decreased, the expression of RIPK1 and p-MLKL was down-regulated, and the contents of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in hippocampus were decreased in Nec-1+ PS group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Necrostatin-1 pre-treatment can improve postoperative cognitive function in aged rats with chronic pain due to knee arthritis, and the mechanism may be related to inhibition of necrosis in hippocampal neurons and reduction of neuroinflammation.

In group TRG, after induction of general anesthesia, bilateral TAP-RS block was performed with 0.375% ropivacaine mixed with 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine under ultrasound guidance, 20 ml was injected into the plane of bilateral transverse abdominis, and 10 ml was injected into the posterior sheath of the bilateral rectus abdominis, and the tube was placed on the plane of the transverse abdominis, and 5 ml/h was continuously pumped after operation.In both groups, anesthesia was induced with IV midazolam, sufentanil, etomiddate and cisatracurium besylate and maintained using combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia, and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was performed after operation.Pulmonary function indexes were measured before induction of anesthesia (T 0) and at 6, 12 and 24 h after removal of the tracheal tube (T 1-3). Blood gas analysis was performed at T 0, T 2 and T 3.The occurrence of high/low blood pressure, tachycardia/bradycardia, consumption of opioids, PACU stay time, pressing times of PCIA within 24 h after surgery, rescue analgesia, time of passing the first flatus, the first postoperative off-bed time, length of postoperative hospital stay, and 48 h quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40) were recorded.The occurrence of adverse reactions and nerve block-related complications were recorded within 48 h after operation. Results:Conversion to laparotomy during operation was found in 4 patients, changing the scope of resection in 2 patients, and a total of 50 patients were enrolled in this study.Compared with group G, the pressing times of PCIA was significantly reduced, the requirement for postoperative rescue analgesia was decreased, the intraoperative consumption of sufentanil and remifentanil was reduced, the incidence of intraoperative hypertension and tachycardia was decreased, the FEV1, FVC and PEFR were increased at T 2, 3, the 48 h QoR-40 score was increased, the time of passing the first flatus, the first postoperative off-bed time, and length of postoperative hospital stay were shortened, the incidence of nausea, agitation, somnolence, and hypoxemia was decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the indicators of blood gas analysis at each time point in group TRG ( P>0.05). Nerve block-related complications were not found in group TRG. Conclusion:Compared with general anesthesia alone, TAP-RS block combined with general anesthesia is helpful in carrying out anesthetic model of low-consumption opioids and improving the quality of early postoperative recovery when used in the patients undergoing laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.
