RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between intraoperative burst suppression (BS) and postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients, and provide more ideas for reducing POD in clinical. METHODS: Ninety patients, aged over 60 years, who underwent lumbar internal fixation surgery in our hospital were selected. General information of patients was obtained and informed consent was signed during preoperative visits. Patients were divided into burst suppression (BS) group and non-burst suppression (NBS) group by intraoperative electroencephalogram monitoring. Intraoperative systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) were recorded, and the variation and minimum value were obtained by calculating. Hemoglobin (HGB), C-reactive protein (CRP), system immune inflammatory index (SII) at 24 and 72 h after surgery, the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions, postoperative hospital stay, and total cost were recorded after operation. POD assessment was performed using CAM within 7 days after surgery or until discharge. SPSS25.0 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Compared with the NBS group, the number of elderly patients with high frailty level in BS group was more (P = 0.048). There is correlation between BS and POD (OR: 4.954, 95%CI 1.034-23.736, P = 0.045), and most of the POD patients in BS group behave as hyperactive type. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of intraoperative BS is associated with POD, and elderly patients with frailty are more likely to have intraoperative BS. BS can be used as a predictor of POD.

In order to explore two kinds of nano-liposomes in lidocaine hydrochloride nano-liposomes on in vitro permeability of drug, and conduct comparison and analysis, this paper investigates cumulative infiltration situation of lidocaine hydrochloride flexible nano-liposomes and ordinary nano-liposomes by using modified Franz diffusion pool on mice vitro skin. Cumulative osmotic quantity of lidocaine hydrochloride flexible nano-liposomes for 9h was higher than ordinary nano-liposomes. (t)max(Maximum osmotic quantity time) of lidocaine hydrochloride flexible nano-liposomes and ordinary nano-liposomes in mice skin was 5 and 60min, the former (C)max (maximum dosage time) was 1.2 times of the latter. Drug was not found in mice plasma of ordinary nano-liposomes group, traces of drugs was detected in 0.5 and 1h in flexible nano-liposomes group, but the concentration was lower than the effective concentration. Compared with the classic skin transparent promoter and ordinary liposome, flexible nano-liposomes have more advantages, but its stability is less than ordinary nano-liposomes because of the addition of surface active substance. Flexible nano-liposomes have great development potential as a carrier of transdermal drug delivery field.

INTRODUCTION: Herein, we describe a case of Meigs' syndrome, a complex condition that poses a challenge for anesthesiologists to manage. Good anesthetic management of this syndrome is necessary to preserve the prognosis. PRESENTATION OF CASE: An 80-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of abdominal pain, particularly in the left lower abdomen, with aggravation after activity. The patient was unable to sleep in a supine position. Her serum carbohydrate antigen 125 level was 253.15 U/mL-1, and laboratory examinations were nonspecific. On auscultation, breath sounds were absent from the base of the right lung. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed to screen for a possible tumor consisting of both solid and cystic components, but the findings were inconclusive. Chest CT showed large right pleural effusions and hiatal hernia. DISCUSSION: A multidisciplinary team conducted careful preoperative preparation, while the anesthesiology team prepared detailed peri-anesthesia management strategies to regulate acid-base and electrolyte balance and maintain respiratory and hemodynamic stability. The surgeon resected the tumor successfully. The patient was discharged after 1 week. A postoperative pathology test confirmed fibrothecomas. CONCLUSION: We provided an effective strategy for the anesthetic management of Meigs' syndrome, which remains a complex challenge for anesthesiologists. It is important that anesthesiologists perform adequate preoperative evaluation and prudent peri-anesthesia management to ensure that patients have a good prognosis and discharge healthily. A multidisciplinary team is essential when caring for patients with Meigs' syndrome.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Research on opioid-free anesthesia has increased in recent years; however, it has never been determined whether it is more beneficial than opioid anesthesia. This meta-analysis was primarily used to assess the effect of opioid-free anesthesia compared with opioid anesthesia on the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. METHODS: We searched the electronic databases of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Embase from 2014 to 2022 to identify relevant articles and extract relevant data. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, time to extubation, pain score at 24 hours postoperatively, and time to first postoperative rescue analgesia were compared between patients receiving opioid-free anesthesia and those receiving standard opioid anesthesia. Differences in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting were evaluated using risk ratios (95% confidence interval [CI]). The significance of the differences was assessed using mean differences and 95% CI. The heterogeneity of the subject trials was evaluated using the I2 test. Statistical analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS: Fourteen randomized controlled trials, including 1354 participants, were evaluated in the meta-analysis. As seen in the forest plot, the OFA group had a lower risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting than the control group (risk ratios = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.33-0.51, P < .00001; n = 1354), and the meta-analysis also found that the OFA group had lower postoperative analgesia scores at 24 hours (P < .000001), but time to extubation (P = .14) and first postoperative resuscitation analgesia time (P < .54) were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS: Opioid-free anesthesia reduces the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting while providing adequate analgesia without interfering with postoperative awakening.

Background: Controlled hypotension technique was usually used to reduce intraoperative bleeding, and it could improve visualization of the surgical field during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, inappropriate controlled hypotension, through reducing cerebral blood flow or cerebral perfusion pressure, may cause postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), so it is important to identify the appropriate level of controlled hypotension. Objective: To investigate the effects of different levels of controlled hypotension on regional cerebral oxygen saturation and postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing TKA. Methods: Patients meeting inclusion criteria were enrolled through preoperative visits and basic information was obtained. The patients were randomly divided into three groups: Group A, MAP was maintained at 90-100% of the baseline; Group B, MAP was maintained at 80-90% of the baseline; Group C, MAP was maintained at 70-80% of the baseline. The MAP, HR, and rSO2 were observed and recorded during the operation. The C-reactive protein (CRP), hemoglobin (Hb) and MMSE score at 1, 3, and 7 days after operation were recorded. SPSS25.0 was used for data analysis. Result: When the MAP had a decrease among the three groups, rSO2 did not decrease significantly, and none of the patients experienced POCD which was measured by MMSE. And there was no correlation between the decline in rSO2 and that in MAP. Conclusion: No POCD was experienced in the three groups, and we recommend that the controlled hypotensive target indicated by MAP was maintained at 70-80% of the baseline which not only decreases intraoperative bleeding and improve the quality of the surgical field, but also is still within safe levels.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cognitive dysfunction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is very common in elderly patients. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), as a form of cognitive dysfunction, may affect patients' short- and long-term recoveries. The identification of meaningful risk factors may help reduce the occurrence of POCD in the future. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to retrospectively investigate the risk factors for early POCD in elderly patients undergoing TKA and to further analyze the relationship between the intensity of risk factors and the level of cognitive function. METHODS: The related indicators and the Montreal Cognitive Function Assessment Scale (MOCA) scores of 105 elderly patients were collected by searching the electronic case system. According to the postoperative MOCA score, patients were divided into three groups: normal group (group N), mild POCD group (group M), and severe POCD group (group S). SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analyses. RESULTS: At baseline, the preoperative MOCA score was significantly different in patients with POCD (P ≤ 0.001), while other baseline indicators were not significantly different. In terms of changes in hemoglobin levels, statistically significant differences were observed between group M, group S, and group N (P = 0.039). Among inflammatory indicators, only postoperative CRP levels showed a statistically significant difference in patients with POCD (P = 0.041). Postoperative pain was also significantly different among the three groups (P = 0.009). The multivariate regression analysis revealed that a low preoperative MOCA score and severe postoperative pain were independent risk factors for mild and severe cognitive impairment, while a high postoperative CRP level was only an independent risk factor for mild cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that the level of preoperative cognitive function, postoperative CRP level, and postoperative pain were independent risk factors for POCD. Moreover, the levels of preoperative cognitive function and postoperative pain were more strongly correlated with severe POCD than postoperative CRP levels.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and it is instant to discover novel anti-TB drugs due to the rapidly growing drug-resistance TB. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) secreted effector ESAT6 plays a critical role in modulation miRNAs to regulate host defense mechanisms during Mtb infection, it can be a possible target for new tuberculosis drugs. The non-tuberculous mycobacteria Mycobacterium smegmatis (M. smegmatis) and Mtb have high gene homology but no pathogenicity. We used ESAT6 to interfere with macrophages or mice infected by M. smegmatis and determined that it enhanced the survival rate of bacteria and regulated miR-222-3p target PTEN. Expression of miR-222-3p reduced and PTEN enhanced with the progression of macrophages infected by M. smegmatis with ESAT6 co-incubation. MiR-222-3p overexpression diminished M. smegmatis survival and upregulated proinflammatory cytokines. VO-Ohpic trihydrate (PTEN inhibitor) reduced M. smegmatis survival and upregulated proinflammatory cytokines in vivo and in vitro, and VO-Ohpic trihydrate reversed the tissue damage of mouse organs caused by ESAT6. These results uncover an ESAT6 dependent role for miR-222-3p and its target PTEN in regulating host immune responses to bacterial infection and may provide a potential site for the development of anti-tuberculosis drugs that specifically antagonize the virulence of ESAT6.

BACKGROUND: There are various techniques to reduce blood loss in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including the use of a tourniquet and tranexamic acid (TXA). In this study, we studied the combined effect of TXA with a tourniquet on blood loss in the setting of primary TKA. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of nine treatment methods were included (placebo, intravenous [i.v.] TXA, topical TXA, i.v.-combined topical TXA, oral TXA, placebo + tourniquet, i.v. TXA +tourniquet, topical TXA + tourniquet, and i.v.-combined topical TXA + tourniquet). The patients were divided into eight groups according to the different treatment strategies, with 30 cases per group. The differences in the total blood volume, the number of patients transfused, the hemoglobin before and after the operation, and complications after the operation were compared. RESULTS: Totally 15 RCTs meeting our inclusion criteria were collected in this study. Compared with the placebo + tourniquet group, the i.v. TXA + tourniquet group displayed lower hemoglobin reduction value, pulmonary embolism (PE) incidence, total blood loss, and blood transfusion risk; the topical TXA + tourniquet group showed reduced PE incidence, total blood loss, and blood transfusion risk, and the i.v.-combined topical TXA and i.v.-combined topical TXA + tourniquet groups showed decreased total blood loss and lower blood transfusion risk. Retrospective clinical study results also demonstrated that the efficacy of i.v.-combined topical TXA was the best. CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis indicates that i.v.-combined topical TXA provides a low total blood loss without increasing the blood transfusion risk in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery.
