Changes in Circulating Extracellular Vesicle Cargo Are Associated with Cognitive Decline after Major Surgery: an Observational Case–control Study
British Journal of Anaesthesia（2024）
Abstract
Background Postoperative neurocognitive decline is a frequent complication triggered by unclear signalling mechanisms. This observational case–control study investigated the effects of hip or knee replacement surgery on the composition of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs), potential periphery-to-brain messengers, and their association with neurocognitive outcomes. Methods We mapped the microRNAome and proteome of plasma-derived EVs from 12 patients (six with good and six with poor neurocognitive outcomes at 3 months after surgery) at preoperative and postoperative timepoints (4, 8, 24, and 48 h). Complement C3–EV association was confirmed by flow cytometry in plasma- and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-derived EVs, with total plasma and CSF C3 and C3a concentrations determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Differential expression analysis found eight dysregulated EV microRNAs (miRNAs) exclusively in the poor neurocognitive outcomes group. Pathway analysis suggested potential downregulation of proliferative pathways and activation of extracellular matrix and inflammatory response pathways in EV target tissues. Proteome analysis revealed a time-dependent increase in immune-related EV proteins, including complement system proteins, notably EV surface-associated C3. Such upward kinetics was detected earlier in the poor neurocognitive outcomes group. Interestingly, CSF-derived EVs from the same group showed a drastic drop of C3 at 48 h with unchanged concentrations in the good neurocognitive outcomes group. Functionally, the complement system was activated in both patient groups in plasma, but only in the poor neurocognitive outcomes group in CSF. Conclusions Our findings highlight the impact of surgery on plasma- and CSF-derived EVs, particularly in patients with poor neurocognitive outcomes, indicating a potential role for EVs. The small sample size necessitates verification with a larger patient cohort.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
