RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Sugammadex is a newer medication used for rapid and reliable reversal of neuromuscular blockade. This study evaluated whether sugammadex could reduce the length of postoperative hospital stay in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS: This single center retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent major abdominal surgery between January 2015 and October 2019. Patients were randomized according to reversal with sugammadex or spontaneous recovery. The primary outcome was length of postoperative hospital stay. The secondary outcomes were length of post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) stay, postoperative ambulation time, time-to-first-defecation, and incidence of pulmonary complications. After 1:1 propensity score matching, univariate and multiple linear regression analyses estimated the differences in outcomes. RESULTS: Of the 1614 patients, 517 received sugammadex and 645 spontaneously recovered. After adjusting for potential confounders, non-linear relationship was detected between administration of sugammadex and the length of postoperative hospital stay (ß = 0.29 95% confidence interval {CI}: [- 1.13, - 0.54], P = 0.4912). However, it was associated with shorter PACU stay (ß = - 20.30 95% CI: [- 24.48, - 17.11], P < 0.0001), shorter time to postoperative ambulation movement (ß = - 0.43 95% CI: [- 0.62, - 0.23], P < 0.0001), and reduced time-to-first-defecation (ß = - 2.25 95% CI: [- 0.45, - 0.05], P = 0.0129), when compared to the spontaneously recovered group. The incidence of pneumonia in the sugammadex group was significantly lower than that in the spontaneously recovered group (18.6% [44/237] vs. 39.2% [93/237] P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Neuromuscular blockade reversal with sugammadex after abdominal surgery demonstrated an excellent recovery profile and was associated with decreased risk of pneumonia, although it did not affect the length of postoperative hospital stay.

Chlamydia is an obligate intracellular bacterium where most species are pathogenic and infectious, causing various infectious diseases and complications in humans and animals. Antibiotics are often recommended for the clinical treatment of chlamydial infections. However, extensive research has shown that antibiotics may not be sufficient to eliminate or inhibit infection entirely and have some potential risks, including antibiotic resistance. The impact of chlamydial infection and antibiotic misuse should not be underestimated in public health. This study explores the possibility of new therapeutic techniques, including a review of recent studies on preventing and suppressing chlamydial infection by non-antibiotic compounds.
RESUMO
Background: Arterial oxygenation is often impaired during one-lung ventilation (OLV), due to both pulmonary shunt and atelectasis. Lower fraction of inspiration O2 (FiO2) may reduce inflammation and complications, but may increase the risk of hypoxemia. The aim of this randomized controlled parallel trial was to analyze whether higher positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) could improve oxygenation and maintain lower levels of inflammation during OLV under a lower FiO2. Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with selective thoracotomy for esophageal cancer (EC) were classified randomly into four groups on a ratio of 1:1:1:1 using a computer-generated list, including Group A (FiO2 =0.6, PEEP =0), Group B (FiO2 =0.6, PEEP =5 cmH2O), Group C (FiO2 =1.0, PEEP =8 cmH2O), and Group D (FiO2 =1.0, PEEP =10 cmH2O). The oxygenation and pulmonary shunt were primary outcomes. Haemodynamics, respiratory mechanics, serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels, and complications were taken as secondary outcomes. Follow-up was terminated until discharge. Results: Two patients in Group A and two in Group D were excluded due to hypoxemia and hypotension, respectively. Then the data of 116 patients (Group A =28, Group B =30 Group C =30, and Group D =28) were assessed for final analysis. Compared with Group B, the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and dynamic compliance during OLV in Group D were significantly increased from 15 minutes to 60 minutes, while pulmonary shunt was significantly decreased (P>0.05). Patients in Group D had higher levels of central venous pressure (CVP) and airway pressure (Paw) during OLV and higher levels of IL-6 and IL-10 after OLV compared with Group B (P>0.05). No statistical differences were found in oxygen saturation (SaO2), PvO2 (partial pressure of oxygen in venous blood), partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery (PaCO2), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and complications among the four groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: Higher PEEP increased the oxygenation under 60% O2 during OLV. However, the haemodynamics and respiratory mechanics changed, and the levels of inflammation increased. A higher PEEP under 60% O2 during OLV is not recommended. Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR1900024726.
RESUMO
In this study, the effects of different pretreatments on the quality of white leg shrimp surimi were investigated based on shrimp endogenous proteases. The results showed that removing the head and rinsing significantly (P < 0.05) improved the gel strength, texture, whiteness, water distribution, and microstructure of the shrimp surimi gels. Headless shrimp surimi (HSS) had higher salt-soluble protein and lower water-soluble protein than whole shrimp surimi (WSS). The shrimp heads had high cathepsin B, L, D, and serine protease activities. Electrophoretic analysis revealed significant degradation of the myofibrillar proteins in the WSS during cold storage and thermal gelation. Moreover, the myosin heavy chains almost disappeared after thermal gelation, and new bands appeared at about 270 kDa and 100 kDa. However, rinsing reduced the endogenous proteases, water-soluble proteins, and concentrated salt-soluble proteins in the shrimp surimi; thus, the quality of the shrimp surimi gel improved after rinsing. These results suggest that the quality of the surimi gel was damaged by the endogenous proteases, and that removal of the shrimp heads and rinsing significantly (P < 0.05) improved the quality of the shrimp surimi gel. The gel properties of WSS were similar after the second rinse to those of unrinsed HSS. The choice of headless shrimp or whole shrimp as the raw material for production needs to be comprehensively considered according to the planned cost and the quality required for the shrimp surimi product. The recommended number of rinses is 1-2.

BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) has been reported to maintain adequate oxygenation among patients under 60% FiO2 one-lung ventilation (OLV). This research aimed to explore whether PGE1 is safe in pulmonary shunt and oxygenation under 40% FiO2 OLV and provide a reference concentration of PGE1. METHODS: Totally 90 esophageal cancer patients treated with thoracotomy were enrolled in this study, randomly divided into three groups (n = 30/group): Group A (60% FiO2 and 0.1 µg/kg PGE1), Group B (40% FiO2 and 0.1 µg/kg PGE1), and Group C (40% FiO2, 0.2 µg/kg PGE1). Primary outcomes were oxygenation and pulmonary shunt during OLV. Secondary outcomes included oxidative stress after OLV. RESULTS: During OLV, patients in Group C and B had lower levels of PaO2, SaO2, SpO2, MAP, and Qs/Qt than those in Group A (P < 0.05). At T2 (OLV 10 min), patients in Group C and B exhibited a lower level of PaO2/FiO2 than those in Group A, without any statistical difference at other time points. The IL-6 levels of patients in different groups were different at T8 (F = 3.431, P = 0.038), with IL-6 in Group C being lower than that in Group B and A. MDA levels among the three groups differed at T5 (F = 4.692, P = 0.012) and T7 (F = 5.906, P = 0.004), with the MDA level of Group C being lower than that of Group B and A at T5, and the MDA level of Group C and B being lower than that of Group A at T7. In terms of TNF-α level, patients in Group C had a lower level than those in Group B and A at T8 (F = 3.598, P = 0.033). Compared with patients who did not use PGE1, patients in Group C had comparable complications and lung infection scores. CONCLUSION: The concentration of FiO2 could be reduced from 60 to 40% to maintain oxygenation. 40% FiO2 + 0.2 µg/kg PGE1 is recommended as a better combination on account of its effects on the inflammatory factors.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is the common and clinically severe complication. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) can protect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI through anti-apoptosis, anti-inflammatory and immune regulatory actions. It is well documented that major causes of LPS-induced ALI are endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and abnormally elevated CHOP. Moreover, XBP-1 can enhance CHOP expression. XBP-1S can aggravate ERS and XBP-1 U can repress ERS. By querying Starbase, miR-135a-5p interacts with XBP-1 and lncRNA MALAT1 sponges miR-135a-5p. It has been reported that MALAT1 interference markedly promoted the apoptosis of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells in ALI rats by activating TLR4/NF-κB pathway. miR-135a-5p inhibitor remarkably alleviated LPS-induced A549 cell injury through suppressing cell apoptosis. In the present work, LPS was dripped into the nasal cavity of SD rats to establish the rat model of ALI and LPS was also applied to stimulate BEAS-2B cells to imitate ALI in vitro. Then, the pathology, lung function indexes, levels of inflammatory factors, apoptosis of lung tissues in SD rats and apoptotic level of BEAS-2B cells were measured, so as to confirm whether upregulation of lncRNA MALAT1 was able to suppress ERS, thus enhancing the protective effect of DEX against ALI. Herein, overexpression of lncRNA MALAT1 strengthened the remission effects of DEX on LPS-triggered ALI, severe pulmonary edema, inflammatory response and cell apoptosis of lung tissues in SD rats and reinforced the anti-apoptosis effect of DEX on LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B cells. Mechanically, lncRNA MALAT1 enhanced the protective effect of DEX against ALI by downregulating the ratio of XBP-1S/XBP-1U to repress ERS.

BACKGROUND: Sugammadex, a modified γ-cyclodextrin that selectively binds to muscle relaxants, is increasingly being used to reverse neuromuscular blockade after surgery, but the potential benefits for cancer patients in the real-world setting are obscure. METHODS: This was a real-world, retrospective study. Adult cancer patients (≥18 years) undergoing abdominal surgery at Jiangsu Cancer Hospital, a tertiary care cancer hospital in China, between 2 March 2018 and 25 November 2019, were included in the analysis. Patients received 2 mg/kg (maximally 200 mg) sugammadex based on the discretion of the attending anesthetists. Patients were extubated as soon as they were awake and able to follow commands. The endpoint measures included extubation time, bowel function recovery and length of hospital stay. RESULTS: A total of 1,615 patients were included in the analysis: 795 participants received sugammadex at a dosage of 2 mg/kg (maximum 200 mg) upon completion of surgery; the remaining 820 participants did not receive sugammadex or neostigmine (another antidote for neuromuscular blockade). Despite several biases that clearly favored patients not receiving sugammadex [younger, better American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status, and fewer comorbidities], the extubation time was significantly shorter in patients receiving sugammadex [median: 14 (range, 0-121) vs. 30.5 (range, 0-183) min; P<0.001]. In multivariate linear regression analysis, sugammadex use was associated with a significantly shorter extubation time (P<0.05). Patients who received sugammadex also had accelerated bowel function recovery and shorter postoperative hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS: Sugammadex shortens extubation time and accelerates postoperative recovery in cancer patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the effect of the pretreatment of S-ketamine on postoperative depression (POD) for breast cancer patients with mild/moderate depression. METHODS: The present randomized, double-blinded controlled trial included 303 breast cancer patients with mild/moderate depression from June 2017 to June 2018. All patients were randomly divided into three groups: (1) control group, patients treated with normal saline; (2) racemic ketamine group, patients treated with racemic ketamine; (3) S-ketamine group, patients treated with S-ketamine. Operation time, blood loss and hospital stay and complications were recorded. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score was recorded, and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) scores, serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were measured at three days, one week, one month and three months after surgery. RESULTS: No significant difference was found in operation time, bleeding volume and complication rate. In both groups, the VAS scores at one day and three days after surgery were significantly lower. The HAMD-17 scores were significantly lower, and the serum levels of both BDNF and 5-HT were remarkably higher at three days, one week and one month after surgery. Meanwhile, the HAMD-17 scores were remarkably lower, while the serum levels of BDNF and 5-HT were remarkably higher in the S-ketamine group. The BDNF and 5-HT levels were negatively correlated with the HAMD-17 score. CONCLUSION: S-ketamine is more effective for reducing POD for breast cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: High FiO2 during one-lung ventilation (OLV) can improve oxygenation, but increase the risk of atelectasis and oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to analyze whether Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) can improve oxygenation and attenuate oxidative stress during OLV under a lower FiO2. METHOD: Ninety patients selectively undergoing thoracotomy for esophageal cancer were randomly divided into three groups (n = 30/group): Group P (FiO2 = 0.6, inhaling PGE1 0.1 µg/kg), Group L (FiO2 = 0.6) and Group C (FiO2 = 1.0). The primary outcomes were oxygenation and pulmonary shunt during OLV. Secondary outcomes included haemodynamics, respiratory mechanics and oxidative stress in serum. RESULTS: Patients in Group P had significantly higher PaO2 and lower shunt fraction in 30 min of OLV compared with Group L. Compared with Group C, patients in Group P had similar levels of PaO2/FiO2 in 60 min and higher levels of PaO2/FiO2 at 2 h during OLV. The levels of PvO2 and SvO2 in Group P and Group L were significantly lower than Group C. Patients in Group P and Group L had significantly higher levels of superoxide dismutase and lower levels of malondialdehyde than Group C. No significant differences were found in SPO2, ETCO2, PaCO2, Paw, HR and MAP among the three groups. The complications in Group C were significantly higher than another two groups. CONCLUSION: PGE1 can maintain adequate oxygenation in patients with low FiO2 (0.6) during OLV. Reducing FiO2 to 0.6 during OLV can decrease the levels of oxidative stress and complications after OLV.

This study aimed to investigate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of cistanche on sevoflurane-induced aged cognitive dysfunction rat model. Aged (24 months) male SD rats were randomly assigned to four groups: control group, sevoflurane group, control + cistanche and sevoflurane + cistanche group. Subsequently, inflammatory cytokine levels were measured by ELISA, and the cognitive dysfunction of rats was evaluated by water maze test, open-field test and the fear conditioning test. Three days following anaesthesia, the rats were killed and hippocampus was harvested for the analysis of relative biomolecules. The oxidative stress level was indicated as nitrite and MDA concentration, along with the SOD and CAT activity. Finally, PPAR-γ antagonist was used to explore the mechanism of cistanche in vivo. The results showed that after inhaling the sevoflurane, 24- but not 3-month-old male SD rats developed obvious cognitive impairments in the behaviour test 3 days after anaesthesia. Intraperitoneal injection of cistanche at the dose of 50 mg/kg for 3 consecutive days before anaesthesia alleviated the sevoflurane-induced elevation of neuroinflammation levels and significantly attenuated the hippocampus-dependent memory impairments in 24-month-old rats. Cistanche also reduced the oxidative stress by decreasing nitrite and MDA while increasing the SOD and CAT activity. Moreover, such treatment also inhibited the activation of microglia. In addition, we demonstrated that PPAR-γ inhibition conversely alleviated cistanche-induced protective effect. Taken together, we demonstrated that cistanche can exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis and anti-activation of microglia effects on the development of sevoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction by activating PPAR-γ signalling.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Bone cancer pain (BCP) causes troubles and burdens to patients globally. Increasing evidence proved that neuromedin U receptor 2 (NMUR2) was involved in pains. Our study was performed to investigate the role of NMUR2 on BCP and the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The rats were raised and BCP rat model was established by injection with Walker 256â¯cells. The RNA and protein expression levels of NMUR2 in rat neurons-dorsal spinal cord cells, RNdsc cells were detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. The administration with NMUR2 was via intrathecal injection with siRNA to silence NMUR2. The tolerance of rat to pain was measured by mechanical allodynia test and presented by paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) value. The effects on protein kinase C (PKC)/extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signal pathways were examined by western blot. RESULTS: The expression of NMUR2 in both mRNA and protein levels was upregulated in BCP rat model. In addition, siRNA injection significantly decreased the expression of NMUR2 on the 3rd, 7th and 14th day. BCP group revealed lower PWT value compared with control while NMUR2 silence increased the PWT value compared with negative control. The phosphorylation of PKC, ERK, PI3K and AKT was increased in BCP model while was decreased by si-NMUR2. PKC/ERK and PI3K/AKT inhibitor administration increased the PWT value compared with BCP group. CONCLUSION: si-NMUR2 alleviates BCP via inactivation of PKC/ERK and PI3K/AKT signal pathways.

BACKGROUND: The best ventilation approach for patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (ATS) for pulmonary carcinoma remains undefined. This study aimed to assess hemodynamics, airway pressure, arterial blood gas, and inflammatory factors in patients undergoing VATS for pulmonary carcinoma under volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) or pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV). METHODS: This was a prospective study of 60 patients with pulmonary carcinoma treated at a tertiary center in 2015-2016. The subjects were randomized to the VCV or PCV group after anesthesia and total lung ventilation (TLV). Hemodynamics and blood gas parameters were compared between the two groups pre-OLV (one-lung ventilation) (T1) and after 30 (T2), 60 (T3), and 120 (T4) minutes of OLV. Radial artery blood was collected to measure interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels. RESULTS: Hemodynamic and blood gas parameters were similar between the two groups (all P>0.05). During OLV, airway resistance (RAW) was significantly lower in the PCV group compared with the VCV group at T2 (26.0±3.8 vs. 29.9±7.3 cmH2O/L/s), T3 (26.0±3.7 vs. 30.2±7.7 cmH2O/L/s), and T4 (25.8±4.1 vs. 29.6±6.7 cmH2O/L/s). Similar trends were found for peak pressure (Ppeak) and plateau pressure (Pplat). Mean pressure (Pmean) was similar between the two groups. Compared with the PCV group, TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the VCV group were significantly increased (all P<0.05). The levels of the anti-inflammatory mediator IL-10 were higher in the PCV group compared with the VCV group. CONCLUSIONS: PCV for OLV during radical resection of pulmonary carcinoma by VATS could reduce Ppeak and downregulate pro-inflammatory factors, likely decreasing airway injury.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on lung injury and the expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor κB p65 (NF-κB p65) and intercellular adhesion molecular 1 (ICAM-1) mRNA during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in rabbits. Methods Thirty healthy New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups ( n=10 in each group): two-lung ventilation (TLV) group (group T), OLV group (group O), dexmedetomidine used during OLV group (group D-O). The rabbits in group T were treated with TLV for 3.5 hours, while in group O and group D-O, the rabbits were ventilated through right lung for 3 hours following 30-minute TLV. In group D-O, dexmedetomidine (1 µg/kg) were given intravenously for 10 minutes before tracheostomy, followed by intravenous infusion at the rate of 1 µg/(kg.h). Equal volume of normal saline was given in group O and group T as controls. At the end of the experiment, rabbits were sacrificed and lung tissues were collected. The pulmonary wet/dry mass (W/D) ratio was calculated and the pathological changes of the lungs were observed using HE staining under a light microscope. The expressions of TLR4, NF-κB p65, ICAM-1 mRNA were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR. Results W/D ratio of left lung tissues in group O and group D-O were significantly higher as compared with group T. However, W/D ratio in group D-O was obviously lower than that in group O. Compared with group T, both group O and group D-O showed much more serious morphological damage in the lung, and such lung injury was less obvious in group D-O than in group O. The expressions of TLR4, NF-κB p65, ICAM-1 mRNA increased significantly in group O as compared with group T, and such enhancement was ameliorated by dexmedetomidine as observed in group D-O. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine might inhibit inflammatory responses and attenuate OLV-induced lung injury in rabbits, possibly by suppressing the expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 mRNA.

There is no standard method by which to establish a right one-lung ventilation (OLV) model in rabbits. In the present study, a novel method is proposed to compare with two other methods. After 0.5 h of baseline two-lung ventilation (TLV), 40 rabbits were randomly divided into sham group (TLV for 3 h as a contrast) and three right-OLV groups (right OLV for 3 h with different methods): Deep intubation group, clamp group and blocker group (deeply intubate the self-made bronchial blocker into the left main bronchus, the novel method). These three methods were compared using a number of variables: Circulation by heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP); oxygenation by arterial blood gas analysis; airway pressure; lung injury by histopathology; and time, blood loss, success rate of modeling. Following OLV, compared with the sham group, arterial partial pressure of oxygen and arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation decreased, peak pressure increased and lung injury scores were higher in three OLV groups at 3 h of OLV. All these indexes showed no differences between the three OLV groups. During right-OLV modeling, less time was spent in the blocker group (6±2 min), compared with the other two OLV groups (13±4 min in deep intubation group, P<0.05; 33±9 min in clamp group, P<0.001); more blood loss was observed in clamp group (11.7±2.8 ml), compared with the other two OLV groups (2.3±0.5 ml in deep intubation group, P<0.001; 2.1±0.6 ml in blocker group, P<0.001). The first-time and final success rate of modeling showed no differences among the three OLV groups. Deep intubation of the self-made bronchial blocker into the left main bronchus is an easy, effective and reliable method to establish a right-OLV model in rabbits.
RESUMO
Maintaining adequate oxygenation during one-lung ventilation (OLV) requires high inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2). However, high FiO2 also causes inflammatory response and lung injury. Therefore, it remains a great interest to clinicians and scientists to optimize the care of patients undergoing OLV. The aim of this study was to determine and compare oxygenation, inflammatory response and lung injury during OLV in rabbits using FiO2 of 0.6 vs. 1.0. After 30 minutes of two-lung ventilation (TLV) as baseline, 30 rabbits were randomly assigned to three groups receiving mechanical ventilation for 3 hours: the sham group, receiving TLV with 0.6 FiO2; the 1.0 FiO2 group, receiving OLV with 1.0 FiO2; the 0.6 FiO2 group, receiving OLV with 0.6 FiO2. Pulse oximetry was continuously monitored and arterial blood gas analysis was intermittently conducted. Histopathologic study of lung tissues was performed and inflammatory cytokines and the mRNA and protein of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65 were determined. Three of the 10 rabbits in the 0.6 FiO2 group suffered hypoxemia, defined by pulse oximetric saturation (SpO2) less than 90%. Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), acute lung injury (ALI) score, myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), mRNA and protein of NF-κB p65 were lower in the 0.6 FiO2 group than in the 1.0 FiO2 group. In conclusion, during OLV, if FiO2 of 0.6 can be tolerated, lung injury associated with high FiO2 can be minimized. Further study is needed to validate this finding in human subjects.
