Is there an association between release of protein S100B during cardiopulmonary bypass and memory disturbances?
Only high levels of protein S100B found 7 h post CPB were associated with decline of explicit memory function, not the release seen during CPB. Thus, when using protein S100B, only values several hours remote from surgery should be used as a brain cell injury marker.
DKK1 may be a novel diagnostic/prognostic biomarker for PC.
