Pre-iTBS alleviates perioperative neurocognitive disorders by inducing long-term neuroprotection against inflammatory injury
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND), encompassing cognitive impairments linked to anesthesia and surgery, significantly impact elderly patients and increase postoperative risks. Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a non-invasive neuromodulation protocol, has shown cognitive-enhancing potential in clinical studies. However, its utility for preventing PND remains unexplored. This study investigated whether preoperative iTBS mitigates PND in aged rats undergoing exploratory laparotomy. Eighteen-month-old male rats (n = 5/group) received 10 daily iTBS sessions or sham stimulation (only noise without real stimulation) prior to 3-hour isoflurane anesthesia (3 %) and laparotomy. Cognitive function was assessed via the Morris water maze (MWM) pre- and postoperatively. Rats were euthanized at 72 h post-surgery to quantify hippocampal microglial polarization (Iba1⁺/CD86⁺), pro-inflammatory cytokines (Milliplex cytokine assays), and neuronal apoptosis (Nissl staining). iTBS-treated rats exhibited faster anesthesia recovery (17.4 ± 3.6 min vs. 35.2 ± 11.2 min; P = 0.009) and reduced postoperative cognitive decline (MWM escape latency: 39.5 ± 5.0 s vs. 50.0 ± 5.8 s; P = 0.006). These improvements correlated with decreased M1-polarized microglia (39.0 ± 7.0 vs. 58.8 ± 12.2; P = 0.014), lower TNF-α levels (2690.6 ± 542.2 pg/mL vs. 3532.7 ± 623.8 pg/mL; P = 0.035), and reduced hippocampal apoptosis (87.8 ± 8.3 % vs. 69.1 ± 13.8 %; P = 0.006). Pre-iTBS has potential therapeutic efficacy in perioperative neurocognitive disorders by reducing M1-type pro-inflammatory factors and enhancing neuronal activity and resistance to anesthesia and surgery-induced damage.
期刊介绍:
The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with behavior, cognition and other brain functions during neurodevelopment and in the adult. Although clinical research is out of the Journal''s scope, the BRB also aims to publish translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes associated with neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Journal is especially interested in research using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging in wild-type and genetically-modified animal models, with the goal to advance our understanding of how neurons, glia and networks function in vivo.
