RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: This study is a retrospective study. This study aims to explore the association between lobectomy in lung cancer patients and subsequent compensatory lung growth (CLG), and to identify factors that may be associated with variations in CLG. METHODS: 207 lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy at Yunnan Cancer Hospital between January 2020 and December 2020. All patients had stage IA primary lung cancer and were performed by the same surgical team. And computed tomography examinations were performed before and 1 y postoperatively. Based on computed tomography images, the volume of each lung lobe was measured using computer software and manual, the radiological lung weight was calculated. And multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the factors related to the increase in postoperative lung weight. RESULTS: One year after lobectomy, the radiological lung weight increased by an average of 112.4 ± 20.8%. Smoking history, number of resected lung segments, preoperative low attenuation volume, intraoperative arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio and postoperative visual analog scale scores at 48 h were significantly associated with postoperative radiological lung weight gain. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that CLG have occurred after lobectomy in adults. In addition, anesthetists should maintain high arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio during one-lung ventilation and improve acute postoperative pain to benefit CLG.
RESUMEN
Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity and to determine whether lncRNA HOXA11-AS affects sevoflurane-induced neuronal apoptosis and inflammation by regulating miR-98-5p/EphA4. Methods: Morris water maze (MWM) test was used to detect the learning and memory ability of rats, HE staining was used to observe hippocampal pathology, TUNEL staining was used to detect the level of neuronal apoptosis, and RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of HOXA11-AS, miR-98-5p, IL-6, IL-1ß, and TNF-α. At the same time, the contents of IL-6, IL-1ß, and TNF-α in serum were detected by ELISA. The expressions of apoptosis-related proteins EphA4, Bax, Cleaved caspase 3, and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot. The dual-luciferase gene reporter verified the targeting relationship between HOXA11-AS and miR-98-5p and the targeting relationship between miR-98-5p and EphA4. Results: The expression of HOXA11-AS was observed in sevoflurane-treated rats or cells and promoted neuronal apoptosis and inflammation. HOXA11-AS was knocked out alone, or miR-98-5p was overexpressed which attenuates neuronal apoptosis and inflammatory inflammation after sevoflurane treatment. Furthermore, knockdown of HOXA11-AS alone was partially restored by knockdown of miR-98-5p or overexpression of EphA4. Conclusion: Inhibition of lncRNA HOXA11-AS attenuates sevoflurane-induced neuronal apoptosis and inflammatory responses via miR-98-5p/EphA4.
