What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in patients undergoing neurosurgery. These tiny plastic particles are widespread pollutants found in the environment and food, and studies have shown their presence in human tissues and fluids. This study aims to detect these particles in blood and surgical samples from patients having brain surgery, addressing a current unknown in medical research. The study involves collecting biological samples, such as blood and tissue from neurosurgery patients during their operations. These samples will be analyzed to identify microplastics and nanoplastics. This is an observational study without intervention, focusing on sample analysis taken at baseline and during surgery. Participants will provide samples during their planned neurosurgical procedures. Researchers will measure the levels of microplastics and nanoplastics in these samples as the primary outcome. The study is sponsored by Beijing Tiantan Hospital and includes adult patients aged 18 to 80 undergoing any type of neurosurgery. Participation involves sample collection and analysis, with monitoring continuing through the surgery period until study completion in late 2025.
