Abstract:This experimental study was designed to evaluate the effect of ulinastatin, a urinary trypsin inhibitor, on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in rats under general anesthesia with isoflurane, on the aspect of behavior, as evaluated using a Y-maze test and focusing on microglial activity. Ulinastatin (50,000 U/mL) and normal saline (1 mL) were randomly (1:1) administered intraperitoneally to the ulinastatin and control groups, respectively, before general anesthesia. Anesthesia with isoflurane 1.5 volu… Show more
