RESUMO
PURPOSE: Patients with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) need to be placed in Trendelenburg position, which results in cranial displacement of the diaphragm and decreases functional residual capacity and pulmonary compliance. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can increase ventilation in the dorsal area, reduce the occurrence of atelectasis and improve oxygenation. However, due to individual differences, inappropriate PEEP will cause lung injury and even hemodynamic instability. Therefore, our study is to evaluate the efficacy of individualized PEEP in RALP. METHODS: We randomly recruited 48 patients and divided them into driving pressure-guided individualized PEEP group (P group, individualized PEEP) or traditional lung-protective ventilation strategy group (C group, tidal volume 8 mL/kg combined with PEEP of 5cmH2O). The primary outcome was the PaO2/FiO2 before extubation. The secondary outcomes included individualized PEEP values in the P group, the results of arterial blood gas analysis, respiratory mechanics parameters and vital sign parameters. Other measurements included intraoperative vasoactive drug dosage, length of stay, postoperative SpO2, leukocyte count, temperature, serum inflammatory factors and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE). RESULTS: Individualized PEEP improved the PaO2/FiO2 before extubation (P = 0.034) and decreased driving pressure (P = 0.011). The PEEP valued in the P group was 14 [10-14] cmH2O. The lung compliance of the P group was significantly higher than that in the C group (P = 0.013). There was no significant difference in other measurements. CONCLUSIONS: Individualized PEEP could improve PaO2/FiO2 in patients who underwent RALP and do not increase the dosage of intraoperative vasoactive drug and the release of inflammatory factors.

BACKGROUND: Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) has always been the first choice for postoperative pain treatment, but associated complications and contraindications may limit its use. Our study put forward a new analgesic strategy that combines TEA with patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) to optimize TEA. METHODS: Patients undergoing laparotomy were enrolled in this prospective randomized study. Patients were randomized to one of two groups: TEA/PCIA group and TEA group. Patients in TEA/PCIA group received TEA in the day of surgery and the first postoperative day and PCIA continued to use until the third postoperative day. Patients in TEA group received TEA for three days postoperatively. Visual analogue scale (VSA) pain scores at rest and on movement at 6, 24,48,72 h after surgery were recorded. In addition, the incidence of inadequate analgesia, adverse events, time to first mobilization, time to pass first flatus, time of oral intake recovery, time of urinary catheter removal, postoperative length of hospital stay, cumulative opioid consumption, and the overall cost were compared between the two groups. We examined VAS pain scores using repeated measures analysis of variance; P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULTS: Eighty-six patients were analysed (TEA/PCIA = 44, TEA = 42). The mean VAS pain scores at rest and on movement in TEA/PCIA group were lower than TEA group, with a significant difference on movement and 48 h postoperatively (P < 0.05). The time to first mobilization and pass first flatus were shorter in TEA/PCIA group (P < 0.05). Other measurement showed no statistically significant differences. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of TEA with PCIA for patients undergoing laparotomy, can enhance postoperative pain control and facilitate early recovery without increasing the incidence of adverse effects and overall cost of hospitalization.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with various types of cancer. However, the precise roles of many lncRNAs in tumor progression remain unclear. In this study, we found that the expression of the lncRNA TP53TG1 was downregulated in gastric cancer (GC) and it functioned as a tumor suppressor. In addition, low TP53TG1 expression was significantly associated with poor survival in patients with GC. TP53TG1 inhibited the proliferation, metastasis, and cell cycle progression of GC cells, while it promoted their apoptosis. m6A modification sites are highly abundant on TP53TG1, and demethylase ALKBH5 reduces TP53TG1 stability and downregulates its expression. TP53TG1 interacts with cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) and triggers its ubiquitination-mediated degradation, resulting in the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway. These results suggest that TP53TG1 plays an important role in inhibiting the progression of GC and provides a crucial target for GC treatment.
