The Effect of Sevoflurane Anesthesia on the Biomarkers of Neural Injury in the Prefrontal Cortex of Aged Marmosets.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgery under general anesthesia leads to neural injury, especially in older patients. Sevoflurane anesthesia without surgery for 2 h does not induce neural injury, however, whether prolonger sevoflurane anesthesia without surgery has the same consequence is still unknown.

Methods

In the present study, aged marmosets were exposed to a clinical concentration of sevoflurane (1.5-2%) for 6 h to access the effects of prolonged sevoflurane anesthesia on the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Caspase3 activity and myelin formation in the brain.

Results

Sevoflurane anesthesia did not alter the expression of IL-6 (120.1 ± 2.21 vs. 120.8 ± 2.25, p = 0.74), TNF-α (189.3 ± 31.35 vs. 218.7 ± 21.47, p = 0.25) and Caspase3 (
