Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication that affects memory, executive function, and processing speed postoperatively. The pathogenesis of POCD linked to excessive neuroinflammation pre-existing Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Previous studies have shown acupuncture improves cognition in the early phase POCD. However, can last for longer periods (up weeks years). long-term effects are unknown. In this study, we hypothesized electroacupuncture (EA) could reduce inflammation induced by laparotomy over period. We characterized postoperative EA on changes investigated underlying molecular mechanisms mice. Laparotomy was performed 3-month-old mice followed daily treatment 2 weeks. Our data indicated prolonged impairment memory functions, which were mitigated EA. also reduced tau phosphorylation suppressed activation tau-related kinases glia, with comparable ibuprofen. These findings demonstrate beneficial mouse model POCD, suggesting EA's ability suppress may contribute its protective effects. conclusion, be viable non-pharmacological intervention managing different phases medical condition.
