1 We hypothesized that DEX could reduce the incidence of POCD caused by sevoflurane anesthesia through decreasing plasma interleukin (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha concentrations. Sevoflurane interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 Conclusion: The POCD incidence was higher in elderly patients receiving sevoflurane anesthesia and DEX could alleviate POCD in these patients through decreasing plasma TNF-alpha and IL-6 concentrations. Sevoflurane interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
