Abstract
Extracellular vesicles are secreted by virtually every cell and allow the transfer of bioactive molecules including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids to other cell types across the body. This study of the role of extracellular vesicles and their cargo in postoperative cognitive dysfunction after hip or knee replacement surgery reports differential protein and microRNA expression in patients with postoperative cognitive decline versus improvement. This small study in a select surgical population highlights the potential for extracellular vesicles and their contents to play a signalling role in postoperative neurocognitive disorders.
期刊介绍:
The British Journal of Anaesthesia (BJA) is a prestigious publication that covers a wide range of topics in anaesthesia, critical care medicine, pain medicine, and perioperative medicine. It aims to disseminate high-impact original research, spanning fundamental, translational, and clinical sciences, as well as clinical practice, technology, education, and training. Additionally, the journal features review articles, notable case reports, correspondence, and special articles that appeal to a broader audience.
The BJA is proudly associated with The Royal College of Anaesthetists, The College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland, and The Hong Kong College of Anaesthesiologists. This partnership provides members of these esteemed institutions with access to not only the BJA but also its sister publication, BJA Education. It is essential to note that both journals maintain their editorial independence.
Overall, the BJA offers a diverse and comprehensive platform for anaesthetists, critical care physicians, pain specialists, and perioperative medicine practitioners to contribute and stay updated with the latest advancements in their respective fields.
