RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Perioperative cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) has been reported to associate with postoperative delirium (POD) which is a common postoperative complication, however, the results were inconclusive. Therefore, we aimed to conduct an up-to-date review and meta-analyze the relationship between perioperative ScO2 and POD. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase and Web of science through January 13, 2022. The pooled results were estimated through a random-effects model meta-analysis and expressed as odds ratios (ORs) and standard mean differences (SMDs), accompanied with 95% confident intervals (CIs). RESULTS: Finally, of 467 searched articles, ten articles were included. A total of six studies reported the baseline ScO2 value and the pooled result showed that preoperative baseline ScO2 was lower in POD groups (SMD = - 0.41, 95% CI - 0.64 to - 0.18). And beyond that, the pooled OR across four literatures about preoperative low ScO2 on POD was 3.44 (95% CI 1.69, 7.02). In contrast, insignificant differences were detected in baseline/lowest ScO2 value during intraoperative and postoperative period. Additionally, there were no statistically significant associations for intraoperative and postoperative low ScO2 effect on POD risk. Meta-regress analysis has found no significant impact factors. CONCLUSIONS: Based on current evidence, POD patients have a lower ScO2, and ScO2 desaturation may increase POD incidence, indicating the role of ScO2 underlying pathological mechanisms. For generalizability of evidence, we should rely on high-quality, considering more comprehensively longitudinal, interdisciplinary studies.

Diabetic patients are able to manage their blood glucose with exogenous insulin but, ultimately, remain at risk of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Longterm use of insulin may lead to iatrogenic hyperinsulinemia, which has been suggested to cause kidney injury. However, there are no effective interventions for iatrogenic hyperinsulinemia leading to kidney damage. In the present paper, the hypothesis that astragaloside IV (ASIV), a novel saponin purified from Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch) Bunge, may prevent DN in iatrogenic hyperinsulinemic diabetic rats through antioxidative and antiinflammatory mechanisms was investigated. Diabetes was induced with streptozotocin (STZ) (55 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection in rats. At 1 week following STZ injection, the diabetic rats were treated with Levemir subcutaneously for 4 weeks. Diabetic rat insulin levels >30 µU/ml were considered as iatrogenic hyperinsulinemia. Rats were divided into six groups (n=8 per group): Iatrogenic hyperinsulinemic rats, and iatrogenic hyperinsulinemic rats treated with Tempol and ASIV at 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg/day, intragastric infusion, for 12 weeks. The normal rats were used as a nondiabetic control group. ASIV ameliorated albuminuria, mesangial cell proliferation, basement membrane thickening and podocyte foot process effacement in iatrogenic hyperinsulinemic rats. In iatrogenic hyperinsulinemic rat renal tissues, malondialdehyde, interleukin1ß (IL1ß), tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα), type IV collagen and laminin levels were increased, whereas glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activity levels were decreased. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 expression and extracellular signalregulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) activation were upregulated, and canonical transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6) protein expression was downregulated. However, all these abnormalities were attenuated by ASIV. These findings suggested that ASIV prevented rat kidney injury caused by iatrogenic hyperinsulinemia by inhibiting oxidative stress, IL1ß and TNFα overproduction, downregulating ERK1/2 activation, and upregulating TRPC6 expression.
