  Purpose: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a serious complication after general anesthesia. POCD is more likely to occur in elderly patients, but the mechanism of POCD has not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that the difference of mRNA expression profile in the brain depending on the maturing stage causes the difference in the effect of sevoflurane anesthesia. We investigated the mRNA expression profile of hippocampal cells in young mice and in aged mice under sevoflurane anesthesia using transcriptome analysis. Methods: This study was conducted after approval from our institutional animal ethics committee, the Animal Research Center of Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine (project number: 12-033). Eight mice were assigned to two groups: a young group and an aged group. Each of the 4 mice in the two groups was ane.. View More»
