Relationship of cerebrospinal fluid choline acetyltransferase and cholinesterase with 〖JP〗postoperative delirium in elderly patients

Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Clinical Research - Year 2024, Vol 37, Issue 4

Abstract

"<b>Objective</b> To detect the concentrations of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and cholinesterase (ChE) in cerebrospinal fluid of elderly patients and explore their relationship with postoperative delirium (POD). <b>Methods</b> One hundred and eighty-three patients who underwent total knee/total hip arthroplasty at Qingdao Municipal Hospital from September 2018 to August 2019 were included. All patients underwent total knee or total hip arthroplasty, using combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. After subarachnoid puncture, 2 mL of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was extracted. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the concentration of ChAT, ChE, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in CSF, and spectrophotometry was used to detect the activity of ChAT and ChE in CSF. The occurrence of POD was assessed using the Confusion Assessment of Method (CAM) after surgery. <b>Results</b> Among 183 patients, 157 cases without POD were as non-POD group and 26 cases with POD were as POD group, with an incidence rate of 14.21%. In the POD group, the preoperative CSF ChE concentration [(31.99±2.78) vs (40.89±4.19)〖LM〗 ng/mL, t=13.915, P<0.01] significantly reduced, while ChAT [(1.26±0.12) vs (0.86±0.15) ng/mL, t=12.920, P<0.01], 〖JP2〗TNF-α[(17.19±1.32) vs (12.29±1.64) pg/mL, t=14.467, P<0.01], 〖JP〗and IL-6[(33.98±5.02) vs (16.98±3.41) pg/mL, t=16.643, P<0.01] significantly increased compared to the non-POD group. In the POD group, the preoperative CSF ChE activity significantly reduced [(4.28±0.52) vs (5.25±0.26) u/mL, t=9.321, P<0.01], while ChAT activity significantly increased [(0.36±0.05) vs (0.27±0.03) u/mL, t=8.916, P<0.01] compared to the non-POD group. <b>Conclusion</b> The high activity of ChAT and low activity of ChE in CSF are related to the occurrence of POD in elderly patients, with cholinergic degradation closely related to its occurrence."
