Fig. 3From: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction after inhalational anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing major surgery: the influence of anesthetic technique, cerebral injury and systemic inflammationComparison of the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 in group C, group S, and group S + MP. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 were used to reflect the systemic inflammatory response at 10 min before anesthesia (Ta), the first (Tb), third (Tc), and seventh (Td) day after operation in group C, group S, and group S + MP. a: the level of TNF-α in different groups. Compared with Group C at Tb, Tc, and Td, #P <0.05 in group S; Compared with Group S at Tb, Tc, and Td, *P <0.05 in group S + MP. b: the level of IL-6 in different groups. Compared with Group C at Tb, Tc, and Td, #P <0.05 in group S; Compared with Group S at Tb, Tc, and Td, *P <0.05 in group S + MP. Data are representative of 30 independent experimentsBack to article page
