AbstractPostoperative cognitive dysfunction is a common postoperative neurological complication in elderly patients, and has some relationship with neuroinflammation. some studies have shown ability of dexmedetomidine to improve cognitive performance in elderly individuals who underwent thoracic surgery. Therefore, our study hypothesized that dexmedetomidine treatment may reduce the incidence of POCD in elderly patients.In addition,this study detected the antineuroinflammatory effects of dexmedetomidine by β-amyloid aggregation inhibitors and release of cytokines in elderly patients . The results show that dexmedetomidine used during operation can inhibit the postoperative release of Aβ and cytokines in elderly patients, and dexmedetomidine used during operation can reduce the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction, with dose-dependence. These results provide a clinical application direction for clinical anesthesiologists and ICU physicians.en
