Prevalence and associated factors of postoperative suxamethonium-induced myalgia in surgical patients at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study. Sci Rep 2024; 14:16552. [PMID: 39019942 PMCID: PMC11255331 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-65779-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Suxamethonium is considered by many to be the best drug for providing ideal intubating conditions, short surgical procedures, and rapid sequence induction. However, its usefulness is limited by the frequent occurrence of adverse effects like postoperative myalgia. Therefore this study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of postoperative suxamethonium-induced myalgia. An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 210 patients who underwent surgery with general anesthesia. The data was collected by using structured and pretested questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Logistic regression was conducted to identify significant predictors based on a P-value of less than 0.05 with a 95% confidence level. Among 210 patients the prevalence of suxamethonium-induced postoperative myalgia in the first 48 h was 88 (41.9%). Patients having previous anesthesia and surgical exposure (AOR 5.29, 95% CI 1.86-15.05), patients having a co-existing disease (AOR 2.69, 95% CI 1.08-6.67), patients that had not taken premedication (analgesia) (AOR 4.64, 95% CI 1.69-12.74), anesthesia maintenance using halothane (AOR 4.5 95% CI 1.7-11.4) and relaxation maintained with suxamethonium (AOR 3.1, 95% CI 1.2-8.1) were significantly associated with the prevalence of postoperative myalgia. The magnitude of suxamethonium-induced postoperative myalgia was high. So it is better to do with preventive techniques. As much as possible it is better to avoid using suxamethonium and necessary to use better to Premedicate with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and non-depolarizing neuromuscular medications.

Oral Prednisone Use Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Does Not Increase Infections, but can be Associated With Higher Risk for Medical and Surgical Complications. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00534-5. [PMID: 38797443 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.05.061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative use of oral prednisone to augment the effect of multimodal pain regimens after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has increased in popularity. However, data on the risks of its utilization, especially as it relates to infection, have been lacking. We tested the null hypothesis that perioperative prednisone use is not associated with the incidence of surgical and medical complications after TKA. METHODS Using a national administrative claims database, we identified 949,555 patients undergoing primary TKA. We excluded patients who filled oral prednisone prescriptions within 90 days prior to surgery or between 90 and 364 days after surgery. Patients who had acute prednisone use were defined as those who filled prednisone prescriptions only within 30 days after surgery. Outcomes consisted of surgical and medical complications after TKA. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between acute prednisone use and complications, adjusting for age, sex, region, insurance plan, and Elixhauser comorbidities. RESULTS Patients in the acute prednisone cohort had greater adjusted odds of subsequent manipulation under anesthesia (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.23 [95% confidence interval {CI}: 1.09 to 1.38]; P < .001) and lysis of adhesions (adjusted OR = 1.58 [95% CI: 1.02 to 2.33]; P = .03) compared to patients who did not have acute prednisone use. Patients who had acute prednisone use also had greater adjusted odds of acute kidney injury (adjusted OR = 1.47 [95% CI: 1.25 to 1.71]; P < .001) and pneumonia (adjusted OR = 4.04 [95% CI: 3.53 to 4.59]; P < .001). There was no increased incidence of infection. CONCLUSIONS Prednisone use shortly following TKA may be associated with a higher incidence of certain surgical and medical complications, but without increased risk for infection. However, given these risks, the optimal patient profile for postoperative prednisone use remains to be defined.

Interactions and Trends of Interleukins, PAI-1, CRP, and TNF-α in Inflammatory Responses during the Perioperative Period of Joint Arthroplasty: Implications for Pain Management-A Narrative Review. J Pers Med 2024; 14:537. [PMID: 38793119 PMCID: PMC11122505 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14050537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Inflammation during the perioperative period of joint arthroplasty is a critical aspect of patient outcomes, influencing both the pathophysiology of pain and the healing process. This narrative review comprehensively evaluates the roles of specific cytokines and inflammatory biomarkers in this context and their implications for pain management. Inflammatory responses are initiated and propagated by cytokines, which are pivotal in the development of both acute and chronic postoperative pain. Pro-inflammatory cytokines play essential roles in up-regulating the inflammatory response, which, if not adequately controlled, leads to sustained pain and impaired tissue healing. Anti-inflammatory cytokines work to dampen inflammatory responses and promote resolution. Our discussion extends to the genetic and molecular influences on cytokine production, which influence pain perception and recovery rates post-surgery. Furthermore, the role of PAI-1 in modulating inflammation through its impact on the fibrinolytic system highlights its potential as a therapeutic target. The perioperative modulation of these cytokines through various analgesic and anesthetic techniques, including the fascia iliac compartment block, demonstrates a significant reduction in pain and inflammatory markers, thus underscoring the importance of targeted therapeutic strategies. Our analysis suggests that a nuanced understanding of the interplay between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines is required. Future research should focus on individualized pain management strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoids have been widely used in perioperative period for postoperative pain relief after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the optimal administration protocols of glucocorticoids remain controversial. This study aims to compare the efficacy of glucocorticoids between intravenous and periarticular injection on clinical outcomes. METHODS A total of 114 patients were randomly assigned to intravenous (IV) group (n = 57) and periarticular injection (PI) group (n = 57). The IV group received 10 mg dexamethasone intravenously and the PI group received periarticular injection of 10 mg dexamethasone during the procedure. The clinical outcomes were assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS), knee society score (KSS), range of motion (ROM), knee swelling, inflammation markers and complications after TKA. RESULTS The VAS score during walking at 2nd day postoperatively was lower in the PI group compared with the IV group (2.08 ± 1.45 vs 2.73 ± 1.69, p = .039), and there was no significant difference at the other time points of VAS score in two groups. The inflammation markers, knee swelling, knee ROM and KSS score were not statistically different. Vomiting and other complications occurrence were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative periarticular injection of glucocorticoids has similar analgesic effect compared to intravenous in the postoperative period following TKA and may be even more effective on the second postoperative day. In addition, periarticular injection of glucocorticoids does not impose an excess risk or complication on patients.

Abstract
Aims The aim was to assess whether robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) had greater knee-specific outcomes, improved fulfilment of expectations, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and patient satisfaction when compared with manual TKA (mTKA). Methods A randomized controlled trial was undertaken (May 2019 to December 2021), and patients were allocated to either mTKA or rTKA. A total of 100 patients were randomized, 50 to each group, of whom 43 rTKA and 38 mTKA patients were available for review at 12 months following surgery. There were no statistically significant preoperative differences between the groups. The minimal clinically important difference in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain score was defined as 7.5 points. Results There were no clinically or statistically significant differences between the knee-specific measures (WOMAC, Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)) or HRQoL measures (EuroQol five-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) and EuroQol visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS)) at 12 months between the groups. However, the rTKA group had significantly (p = 0.029) greater improvements in the WOMAC pain component (mean difference 9.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0 to 18.4) over the postoperative period (two, six, and 12 months), which was clinically meaningful. This was not observed for function (p = 0.248) or total (p = 0.147) WOMAC scores. The rTKA group was significantly (p = 0.039) more likely to have expectation of 'Relief of daytime pain in the joint' when compared with the mTKA group. There were no other significant differences in expectations met between the groups. There was no significant difference in patient satisfaction with their knee (p = 0.464), return to work (p = 0.464), activities (p = 0.293), or pain (p = 0.701). Conclusion Patients undergoing rTKA had a clinically meaningful greater improvement in their knee pain over the first 12 months, and were more likely to have fulfilment of their expectation of daytime pain relief compared with patients undergoing mTKA. However, rTKA was not associated with a clinically significant greater knee-specific function or HRQoL, according to current definitions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increasing number of individuals undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA), which can result in pain, limited motor function and adverse complications such as infection, nausea and vomiting. Glucocorticoids have been shown anti-inflammatory and antiemetic effects, but can also elevate blood glucose levels and increase the risk of wound infection. Thus, it is essential to investigate the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoid usage in TKA. METHOD A comprehensive systematic search of PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane databases, to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of glucocorticoid application in TKA. The primary outcomes assessed were the postoperative pain assessment. Secondary outcomes included the range of motion in knee joint, levels of inflammatory cytokines, adverse complications, and the length of hospital stay. RESULTS Thirty-six randomized controlled trials were included in the final analysis. The glucocorticoid group exhibited significant reduction in the resting VAS scores on postoperative days 1, 2 (POD1, 2)and postoperative 3 months (POM3), as well as decreased morphine consumption on POD1 and increased range of motion (ROM) in knee joint on POD1, 3. Additionally, the glucocorticoid group exhibited decreased levels of postoperative inflammatory cytokines and the incidence of PONV along with a shorter length of hospital stay. The blood glucose concentration was significantly increased in the glucocorticoid group on POD1 compared with the control group. While the blood glucose on POD2 and occurrence of postoperative adverse complications were similar between two groups including wound infection and venous thrombosis. The periarticular injection analgesia (PIA) group demonstrated lower VAS scores on POD2 comparing to the systemic administration (SA) group according to two studies. However, there was no significant difference of the resting VAS on POD1 and POD2 between PIA and SA group across all studies. CONCLUSION Perioperative glucocorticoids treatment in TKA significantly reduced short-term pain score and opioid-use which was probably not patient relevant. The application of glucocorticoids in TKA implied a beneficial trend in analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antiemetic effects, as well as improved range of motion and shortened hospital stay. While it will not increase the risk of continued high glucose, postoperative wound infection and venous thrombosis.

Abstract
The primary objective of this review was to determine whether the attenuation of the postoperative inflammatory response (PIR) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) leads to a notable improvement in clinical outcome scores. The secondary objective of this review was to determine the optimal approach in using inflammatory biomarkers, clinical inflammatory assessments, and imaging to quantify the PIR. A systematic literature search of eight major databases was conducted using a predetermined search strategy. C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), knee surface temperature (KST), and clinical outcome data were collected and graphically displayed. Eighty-six percent of the studies that reported a statistically significant decrease in inflammatory biomarkers in their treatment group demonstrated a concordant notable improvement in clinical outcome scores. Mean CRP, IL-6, ESR, and KST values peaked on postoperative day (POD) 2, POD1, POD7, and POD 1-3, respectively. The PIR is correlated with early pain and function recovery outcomes. Future studies comparing TKA surgical methodologies and perioperative protocols should assess PIR by incorporating inflammatory biomarkers, such as CRP and IL-6, and clinical inflammatory assessment adjuncts, to provide a more comprehensive comparison.

Abstract
Study Objective To determine if baseline cytokines and their changes over postoperative days 0-2 (POD0-2) predict acute and chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after major surgery. Design Prospective, observational, longitudinal nested study. Setting University-affiliated quaternary children's hospital. Patients Subjects (≥8 years old) with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing spine fusion or pectus excavatum undergoing Nuss procedure. Measurements Demographics, surgical, psychosocial measures, pain scores, and opioid use over POD0-2 were collected. Cytokine concentrations were analyzed in serial blood samples collected before and after (up to two weeks) surgery, using Luminex bead arrays. After data preparation, relationships between pre- and post-surgical cytokine concentrations with acute (% time in moderate-severe pain over POD0-2) and chronic (pain score>3/10 beyond 3 months post-surgery) pain were analyzed. After adjusting for covariates, univariate/multivariate regression analyses were conducted to associate baseline cytokine concentrations with postoperative pain, and mixed effects models were used to associate longitudinal cytokine concentrations with pain outcomes. Main Results Analyses included 3,164 measures of 16 cytokines from 112 subjects (median age 15.3, IQR 13.5-17.0, 54.5% female, 59.8% pectus). Acute postsurgical pain was associated with higher baseline concentrations of GM-CSF (β=0.95, SE 0.31; p=.003), IL-1β (β=0.84, SE 0.36; p=.02), IL-2 (β=0.78, SE 0.34; p=.03), and IL-12 p70 (β=0.88, SE 0.40; p=.03) and longitudinal postoperative elevations in GM-CSF (β=1.38, SE 0.57; p=.03), IFNγ (β=1.36, SE 0.6; p=.03), IL-1β (β=1.25, SE 0.59; p=.03), IL-7 (β=1.65, SE 0.7, p=.02), and IL-12 p70 (β=1.17, SE 0.58; p=.04). In contrast, CPSP was associated with lower baseline concentration of IL-8 (β= -0.39, SE 0.17; p=.02), and the risk of developing CPSP was elevated in patients with lower longitudinal postoperative concentrations of IL-6 (β= -0.57, SE 0.26; p=.03), IL-8 (β= -0.68, SE 0.24; p=.006), and IL-13 (β= -0.48, SE 0.22; p=.03). Furthermore, higher odds for CPSP were found for females (vs. males) for IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNFα, and for pectus (vs. spine) surgery for IL-8 and IL-10. Conclusion We identified pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with increased acute postoperative pain and anti-inflammatory cytokines associated with lower CPSP risk, with potential to serve as predictive and prognostic biomarkers.

Abstract
Aims The primary aim was to assess whether robotic total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) had a greater early knee-specific outcome when compared to manual TKA (mTKA). Secondary aims were to assess whether rTKA was associated with improved expectation fulfilment, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and patient satisfaction when compared to mTKA. Methods A randomized controlled trial was undertaken, and patients were randomized to either mTKA or rTKA. The primary objective was functional improvement at six months. Overall, 100 patients were randomized, 50 to each group, of whom 46 rTKA and 41 mTKA patients were available for review at six months following surgery. There were no differences between the two groups. Results There was no difference between rTKA and mTKA groups at six months according to the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) functional score (mean difference (MD) 3.8 (95% confidence interval (CI) -5.6 to 13.1); p = 0.425). There was a greater improvement in the WOMAC pain score at two months (MD 9.5 (95% CI 0.6 to 18.3); p = 0.037) in the rTKA group, although by six months no significant difference was observed (MD 6.7 (95% CI -3.6 to 17.1); p = 0.198). The rTKA group were more likely to achieve a minimal important change in their WOMAC pain score when compared to the mTKA group at two months (n = 36 (78.3%) vs n = 24 (58.5%); p = 0.047) and at six months (n = 40 (87.0%) vs n = 29 (68.3%); p = 0.036). There was no difference in satisfaction between the rTKA group (97.8%; n = 45/46) and the mTKA group (87.8%; n = 36/41) at six months (p = 0.096). There were no differences in EuroQol five-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) utility gain (p ≥ 0.389) or fulfilment of patient expectation (p ≥ 0.054) between the groups. Conclusion There were no statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences in the change in WOMAC function between mTKA and rTKA at six months. rTKA was associated with a higher likelihood of achieving a clinically important change in knee pain at two and six months, but no differences in knee-specific function, patient satisfaction, health-related quality of life, or expectation fulfilment were observed.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that causes endless pain and poor quality of life in patients. Usage of a lubricant combined with anti-inflammatory therapy is considered a reasonable and effective approach for the treatment of RA. Herein, inspired by glycopeptides, a peptide-decorated hyaluronic acid was synthesized, and the grafted Fmoc-phenylalanine-phenylalanine-COOH (FmocFF) peptide self-assembled with β-sheet conformations could induce the folding of polymer molecular chains to form a vesicle structure in aqueous solution. The hydrophobic anti-inflammatory drug curcumin (Cur) could be embedded in the vesicle walls through π-π interactions with the FmocFF peptide. Furthermore, the inflammation suppression function of the Cur-loaded vesicles both in vitro and in vivo was demonstrated to be an effective treatment for RA therapy. This work proposes new insights into the folding and hierarchical assembly of glycopeptide mimics, providing an efficient approach for constructing intelligent platforms for drug delivery, disease therapy, and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lower limb swelling after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) hinders surgical effectiveness. The poor results of studies on swelling interventions are due to the lack of a classification of swelling causes through appropriate medical tests. A gold standard is missing. This study aimed to clarify the causes of TKA postoperative swelling and how to identify them through indicators and medical tests by consulting a wide range of experts from multiple disciplines. METHOD The Delphi method was used. A first draft of the index was prepared based on a systematic search of the literature. A total of 11 experts from several disciplines were invited to evaluate the rationality of the indicators and suggest modifications. After two rounds of consultation, the experts reached a consensus, and the consultation was stopped. RESULTS The response rate of the 11 experts was 100%, and the authoritative Cr was 0.896. Kendall's W values for opinion coordination of the two rounds of consultation were 0.262 and 0.226, respectively (P < 0.001). Among the final indicators, there were 4 primary indicators for swelling cause classification (inflammatory response, poor venous return, joint hematoma, muscle damage, and healing), 19 secondary and 19 tertiary indicators. CONCLUSION The indications obtained by systematic literature review and multidisciplinary expert consultation are reliable and scientific. Multiple causes of lower extremity swelling after TKA were identified. Blood test indicators can reflect an inflammatory response, suggest poor venous return, and reflect muscle damage and healing progress. Ultrasound scans are needed to identify underlying thrombotic or valvular problems, joint hematomas, and muscle damage. These tests help clinicians and researchers determine the cause of swelling after TKA and take appropriate management.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the preoperative inflammatory serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and leukocyte count (LEUK) are associated with postoperative pain and complaints after otolaryngological surgery. METHODS Retrospective evaluation of 680 patients (33% female, median age 50 years) receiving otolaryngological surgery between November 2008 and March 2017 in a tertiary university hospital. Postoperative pain on the first postoperative day was assessed using the validated questionnaire of the German-wide project Quality Improvement in Postoperative Pain Treatment (QUIPS) including a numeric rating scale for assessment of postoperative pain (NRS, 0-10). The influence of preoperative parameters including CRP and LEUK on patients' postoperative pain was estimated. RESULTS Mean CRP value was 15.6 ± 34.6 mg/l and mean LEUK value 7.8 ± 3.2 Gpt/l. Patients with pharyngeal surgery had the highest CRP values (34.6 ± 52.9 mg/l), highest LEUK values (9.2 ± 4.2 Gpt/l) and the highest pain levels (3.1 ± 2.4 NRS) compared to all other surgical procedures (all p < 0.05). Higher postoperative pain was associated with LEUK values > 11.3 Gpt/l (r = 0.093, p = 0.016) and higher preoperative chronic pain (r = 0.127, p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed younger age, female gender, duration of surgery, preoperative chronic pain, type of surgery, and higher LEUK values > 11.3 as independent factors for postoperative pain. Perioperative antibiotics had no effect on the postoperative pain. CONCLUSION Beyond known factors, preoperative LEUK as inflammation marker is an independent predictor for pain on the first postoperative day.

Abstract
(1) Background: Surgical treatment of laryngeal carcinoma includes different types of laryngectomies with neck dissection. Surgical tissue damage triggers an inflammatory response, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory molecules. This increases reactive oxygen species production and decreases antioxidant defense mechanisms, leading to postoperative oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, MDA; glutathione peroxidase, GPX; superoxide dismutase, SOD) and inflammation (interleukin 1, IL-1; interleukin-6, IL-6; C-reactive protein, CRP) parameters and postoperative pain management in patients surgically treated with laryngeal cancer. (2) Methods: This prospective study included 28 patients with surgically treated laryngeal cancer. Blood samples were taken for the analysis of oxidative stress and inflammation parameters before the operative treatment and after the operative treatment (1st postoperative day and 7th postoperative day). The concentrations of MDA, SOD, GPX, IL-1, IL-6, and CRP in the serum were determined by coated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The visual analog scale (VAS) was used for pain assessment. (3) Results and conclusion: There was a correlation between oxidative stress and inflammation biomarkers and postoperative pain modulation in surgically treated patients with laryngeal cancer. Age, more extensive surgery, CRP values, and use of tramadol were predictors for oxidative stress parameters.

Abstract
The number of orthopedic implants for bone fixation and joint arthroplasty has been steadily increasing over the past few years. However, implant-associated infection (IAI), a major complication in orthopedic surgery, impacts the quality of life and causes a substantial economic burden on patients and societies. While research and study on IAI have received increasing attention in recent years, the failure rate of IAI has still not decreased significantly. This is related to microbial biofilms and their inherent antibiotic resistance, as well as the various mechanisms by which bacteria evade host immunity, resulting in difficulties in diagnosing and treating IAIs. Hence, a better understanding of the complex interactions between biofilms, implants, and host immunity is necessary to develop new strategies for preventing and controlling these infections. This review first discusses the challenges in diagnosing and treating IAI, followed by an extensive review of the direct effects of orthopedic implants, host immune function, pathogenic bacteria, and biofilms. Finally, several promising preventive or therapeutic alternatives are presented, with the hope of mitigating or eliminating the threat of antibiotic resistance and refractory biofilms in IAI.

Abstract
Background: Individualized pain therapy conforms to the concept of precision medicine and contributes to adequate pain management after surgery. Preoperative biomarkers associated with postoperative pain may instruct anesthesiologists to improve personalized suitable analgesia. Therefore, it is essential to explore the association between preoperative proteins and postoperative acute pain using the proteomics platform. Methods: In this study, the 24 hours postoperative sufentanil consumption of 80 male patients with gastric cancer was ranked. Patients with sufentanil consumption in the lowest 12% were included in the sufentanil low consumption group, while patients with sufentanil consumption in the highest 12% were included in the sufentanil high consumption group. The secretion of serum proteins in both groups was analyzed using label-free proteomics technology. The results were validated by ELISA. Results: Proteomics identified 29 proteins that were significantly differentially expressed between groups. ELISA confirmed that secretion of TNC and IGFBP2 was down-regulated in the SLC group. The differential proteins were mainly extracellular and were involved in several terms, including calcium ion binding, laminin-1 binding, and so on. Pathway analysis showed that they were mainly enriched in focal adhesion and extracellular matrix-receptor interaction. The protein-protein interaction network analysis showed 22 proteins that interacted with other proteins. F13B had the strongest correlation with sufentanil consumption and its AUC value was 0.859. Conclusions: Several differential proteins are associated with postoperative acute pain and are involved in ECM-related processes, inflammation, and blood coagulation cascades. F13B may be a novel marker for postoperative acute pain. Our results may benefit postoperative pain management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are very few studies about total knee arthroplasty biomechanical and biochemical effects in the early postoperative period. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of total knee arthroplasty on pain intensity, knee joint valgus angle, malalignment, functional status, knee joint position sense, and cytokine levels. METHODS A total of 29 patients (female/male: 24/5) who underwent total knee arthroplasty were included in the late-stage knee osteoarthritis group, and 22 patients (female/male: 13/9) with grade 4 osteoarthritis were included in the early-stage knee osteoarthritis group. The visual analog scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index were used to evaluate the pain intensity and functional status. Alignment and knee position sense measurements were also calculated. Systemic venous blood samples were taken to evaluate the interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-1 beta cytokine levels. RESULTS In the study group, there were positive improvements in pain intensity, functional status, valgus angle, malalignment, amount of joint position sense deviation at 70° knee flexion angle parameters, and interleukin-6 of patients at the postoperative 6th week compared to the preoperative period (p<0.05). The patients in the study group had similar or better results in pain intensity, functional status, valgus angle, malalignment, amount of joint position sense deviation at 35°, 55°, and 70° knee flexion angles parameters, and in interleukin-6, compared to the control group at postoperative 6th week. CONCLUSION Total knee arthroplasty provides improvements in pain, function, valgus angle, joint position sense, and interleukin-6 in the early postoperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the exact etiology of patient dissatisfaction in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is unclear, the inflammatory response precipitated by surgery may be implicated. Robotic TKA has been shown to result in reduced bone and soft-tissue trauma. The objectives of this study were to compare the inflammatory response in conventional jig-based TKA versus robotic-arm-assisted TKA and to examine the relationship with early functional outcomes. METHODS This prospective randomized controlled trial included 15 patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis undergoing conventional TKA and 15 undergoing robotic-arm-assisted TKA. Blood samples were collected for up to 28 days postoperatively, and predefined markers of systemic inflammation were measured in serum. The local inflammatory response was assessed by analyzing samples from the intra-articular drain fluid at 6 and 24 hours. Relationships with early functional outcomes were evaluated using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient. RESULTS Patients in the robotic TKA group demonstrated lower levels of interleukin (IL)-6 in the drain fluid at 6 hours (798.54 pg/mL versus 5,699.2 pg/mL, p = 0.026) and 24 hours and IL-8 at 6 hours. Robotic TKA was associated with lower pain scores on postoperative days 1, 2, and 7. Patient-reported outcome measures were comparable between the 2 groups at 2 years. Significant correlations were observed between all serum markers except IL-1b and self-reported pain on postoperative day 7; between drain IL-8 levels and pain on postoperative days 1 (r = 0.458), 2, and 7; and between drain IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels at 6 hours and knee flexion or extension. CONCLUSIONS Robotic-arm-assisted TKA was associated with a reduction in the early postoperative local inflammatory response. We also found a moderate relationship between the inflammatory responses and self-reported pain, knee flexion, and knee extension. Further validation of these findings on a larger scale and using longer-term outcomes will be key to developing the optimal TKA procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level I .

Effects of Systemic Lidocaine Versus Dexmedetomidine on the Recovery Quality and Analgesia After Thyroid Cancer Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Pain Ther 2022; 11:1403-1414. [PMID: 36203077 PMCID: PMC9633913 DOI: 10.1007/s40122-022-00442-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 10/10/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgical management is commonly used for thyroid cancer. We evaluated the effects of systemic lidocaine versus dexmedetomidine on the recovery quality and analgesia after thyroid cancer surgery. METHODS A total of 120 patients with thyroid cancer were randomly allocated to group L (received lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg loading, continuously infused 1.5 mg/kg per hour), group D (received dexmedetomidine 0.5 µg/kg loading, continuously infused 0.5 µg/kg per hour) and group C (received normal saline), with 40 cases in each group. Anaesthesia induction and maintenance were performed using target-controlled infusions (TCIs) of propofol and remifentanil. The primary outcome of the quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) score was recorded on the day before surgery and postoperative day 1 (POD1). Secondary outcomes included the consumption of remifentanil during surgery, time to first required rescue analgesia, number of patients requiring rescue analgesia, postoperative cumulative consumption of tramadol, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, incidence of postoperative nausea or vomiting (PONV) and side effects. RESULTS The total score of the QoR-15 at POD1 (median, IQR) was higher in group L (128.0, 122.0-132.8) and group D (127.5, 122.5-132.5) compared to group C (118.5, 113.0-123.5) (P = 0.000). Compared to group C, systemic lidocaine and dexmedetomidine reduced cumulative consumption of remifentanil and VAS pain score (P = 0.000). The time to first required rescue analgesia (mean, SD) was longer in group L (8.1 h, 1.2 h) and group D (8.5 h, 1.9 h) than group C (5.9 h, 0.9 h) (P = 0.000). The number of patients requiring rescue analgesia was lower in group L (8/40, 20%) and group D (6/40, 15%) than group C (16/40, 40%) (P = 0.029), and cumulative consumption of tramadol (mean, SD) was lower in group L (44.0 mg, 17.1 mg) and group D (51.7 mg, 14.1 mg) than group C (73.9 mg, 18.4 mg) (P = 0.000). The incidence of PONV in group L (7/40, 17.5%) and group D (9/40, 22.5%) was lower than group C (18/40, 45.0%) (P = 0.016). Bradycardia (heart rate less than 50 beats/min or lower) was noted in 25 patients (25/40, 62.5%), which was reversed by intravenous administration of atropine 0.5 mg. CONCLUSION Systemic lidocaine and dexmedetomidine had similar effects on enhancing the quality of recovery, alleviating the intensity of pain and reducing the incidence of PONV after thyroid cancer surgery. However, dexmedetomidine may result in bradycardia. Therefore, lidocaine was superior to dexmedetomidine. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR.org.cn (ChiCTR2000038442). Registered on September 22, 2020.

J Perianesth Nurs 2022; 37:952-955. [PMID: 36123240 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2022.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE In most studies, local infiltration analgesia (LIA) can provide better analgesic effect in the early postoperative period, but the optimal technique is unknown. Our study was designed to evaluated the early clinical efficacy and safety of periarticular analgesia versus intraarticular injection in Total knee arthroplasty (TKA). DESIGN A prospective study was conducted on 100 patients admitted for TKA. Subjects were divided into two groups: 50 in group A, 50 in Group B. METHODS Patients in group A received periarticular analgesia with ropivacaine 300 mg and morphine 5 mg (the drugs were diluted with saline to 50 ml) in the periosteal borders, posterior capsule and extensor apparatus and subcutaneous tissues during surgery. After stitching of joint capsule, tranexamic acid (TXA) 2 g (20 ml) was injected into the articular cavity. Group B patients had all of the 70 mL mixture (ropivacaine 300 mg, morphine 5 mg and TXA 2 g) injected intraarticularly after stitching of the joint capsule. We assessed postoperative length of stay (LOS), knee functional outcome, pain, and complications after surgery. FINDINGS There was no statistical difference in visual analog scale (VAS) scores for knee pain between the two groups on postoperative day (POD)1, 3, or 30 (P > .05). Mean postoperative LOS was 7.40 ± 1.98 days in Group A, compared to 8.02 ± 2.09 days in Group B (P > .05). No significant differences between groups were seen in the mean swelling ratio (P > .05), and no significant differences were found in the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and range of motion (ROM) at 30 days follow-up (P > .05). There was also no statistical difference in the incidence of complications (such as superficial wound infection, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and nausea and vomiting) between the Group A and the Group B. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, it seems that intraarticular injection had a similar analgesic effect compared with periarticular injection when adopting a multi-modal analgesia regimen. Our results suggest that there is no obvious advantage with the use of periarticular injections compared to intraarticular injection. The authors believe that intraarticular injection may be a better technique compared with periarticular injections in the absence of a drainage tube because intraarticular injection can reduce the number of surgical steps and have similar postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute pain is one of the most common pains experienced by post-cleft lip or cleft surgery patients regardless of the administration of analgesic agents. This current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a curcumin patch as an adjuvant analgesic agent on the post-cleft lip and cleft palate surgery patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-five (33 male; 22 female) participants aged 36 months or less are recruited in this pragmatic trial and randomly assigned to a control group, where no curcumin patch was applied; or the experimental group, where the participants wore a curcumin patch with a dosage of 100mg. All participants (regardless of the group) received a standardized postsurgery analgesic agent immediately after the surgery was completed. A face, leg, activity, cry, and consolability (FLACC) scale was used to evaluate pain levels for three subsequent time points. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS All data were then analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney U test to compare the mean differences between the two groups. RESULTS The results of the current study revealed that there was no significant difference found between the control and the experimental group when mean pain scores were compared for the first evaluation time. Yet, there was a significant difference (p<0.01) between the two groups' mean pain scores on the second evaluation time. CONCLUSION Curcumin patch was found to be effective when used as an adjuvant analgesic agent to reduce acute-orofacial postsurgery pain in cleft lip and cleft surgery patients.

Abstract
Severe acute pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may cause delay in muscle strength and functional recovery, and it is a risk factor for chronic postoperative pain. Although pharmacological approaches are the typical firstline to treat acute pain; recently, nonpharmacological approaches such as exercise have been increasingly applied. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of a rehabilitation program involving isometric quadriceps exercise with auditory and visual feedback to improve the short-term outcome after TKA. Sixty-two patients, planning a primary unilateral TKA, were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n = 31) involving isometric quadriceps exercise with auditory and visual feedback in usual rehabilitation after TKA or a control group (n = 31) involving a standardized program for TKA. Patients in the intervention group performed the isometric quadriceps muscle exercise using the Quadriceps Training Machine from 2 to 14 days after TKA instead of the traditional quadriceps sets. Pain intensity, isometric knee extension strength, range of motion, timed up and go test (TUG), 10-m gait speed, 6-minute walking distance, the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), the hospital anxiety and depression scale, and the pain catastrophizing scale were assessed before TKA (baseline) and 1 to 3 weeks after TKA. Pain intensity significantly decreased in the intervention group than in the control group at 1 (p = 0.005), 2 (p = 0.002), and 3 (p = 0.010) weeks after TKA. Greater improvements in TUG (p = 0.036), 10-m gait speed (p = 0.047), WOMAC total score (p = 0.017), pain (p = 0.010), and function (p = 0.028) 3 weeks after TKA were observed in the intervention group. These results suggest that isometric quadriceps exercises with auditory and visual feedback provided early knee pain relief, possibly leading to better improvements in physical performance, and patient's perception of physical function in the early stages of postoperative TKA. Further studies should investigate whether this short-term effect is sustainable.

Effect of Ultrasound-Guided Fascia Iliac Compartment Block on Serum NLRP3 and Inflammatory Factors in Patients with Femoral Intertrochanteric Fracture. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:1944659. [PMID: 35620203 PMCID: PMC9129941 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1944659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of ultrasound-guided fascia iliac compartment block (FICB) on patients' postoperative pain and inflammatory factors as well as nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) in femoral intertrochanteric fracture. Methods This single-blind randomized controlled study included 231 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture treated in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. All patients were randomized into two groups, the FICB group (n = 116) and the general anesthesia group (control group, n = 115). The serum NLRP3 levels and inflammatory factors were evaluated. The heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and SpO2 values were recorded. Pain condition was measured by the visual analogue scale (VAS) score. Harris score was performed for positive hip function. Results The values of HR and MAP were significantly lower after anesthesia induction in FICB groups compared with the control group. However, no significant difference was found for SpO2. Compared with the control group, the VAS scores within 72 h after surgery were all markedly lower in the FICB group than in the control group and showed no significant difference at 1 week after surgery. The levels of NLRP3 and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were significantly lower in FICB patients at 1 h, 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after surgery compared with the control group. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) showed a significant lower level in the FICB group at 1 h and 6 h after surgery, and significant lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were found at 1 h and 24 h after surgery compared with the control group. Positive correlation was found between NLRP3 and IL-6, as well as CRP and VAS scores after 1 h of the surgery. No significant difference was found for both Harris score and postoperative complications between the two groups. Conclusion Fascia iliac compartment block could reduce the postoperative pain, which might be associated with the decrease of the serum levels of NLRP3, CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α in femoral intertrochanteric fracture patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal dose regimen of dexamethasone in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not been determined. This study was performed to evaluate the impact of a single preoperative high-dose dexamethasone compared with two perioperative low-dose dexamethasone in TKA. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively studied three regimens on dexamethasone: no dexamethasone (A), a single preoperative dose of 20-mg dexamethasone (B), and two perioperative doses of 10-mg dexamethasone (C). The primary outcome was postoperative pain level. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), use of analgesic and antiemetic rescue, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, range of motion (ROM), and complications were also compared. RESULTS The dynamic pain scores and CRP and IL-6 levels were significantly lower for Group B compared to Groups A and C on postoperative days 1 and 2 (POD 1 and 2). Such differences were also detected between Groups C and A. Besides, the pain scores at rest were significantly lower in Groups B and C than in Group A on POD 1 and 2. Patients in Groups B and C had a lower incidence of PONV, reduced use of analgesic and antiemetic rescue, and improved ROM than in Group A. No complications occurred in any group. CONCLUSION Dexamethasone in TKA provides short-term advantages in analgesic, antiemetic and anti-inflammatory effects. Besides, regarding the effects of pain and inflammatory control on POD 1 and 2, a single preoperative high dose of 20-mg dexamethasone was more effective than two perioperative low doses of 10-mg dexamethasone.

Abstract
Background Pain relief is the most important issue in the long-term outcome of arthroplasty surgery, with nearly one-third of patients still suffered persistent pain and caused dissatisfaction after the surgery. Methods A total of 713 patients underwent primary elective primary TKA and UKA were included consecutively between July 2018 and December 2019, using binary logistic method to analyze the data. Results The prevalence of CPSP at rest and on movement at 2-year was 12.1% and 37.7% respectively after primary knee arthroplasty and CPSP at rest factors included: age above 80 (odds ratio [OR]= 6.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.58 to 28.56), BMI above 30 (2.339, 1.02 to 5.383), and moderate to severe pain variables: preoperative pain, (1.95, 1.11 to 3.41); APSP on movement, 4.9 (2.31–10.6); and follow-up contralateral knee pain-at-rest scores (12.6, 5.5 to 28.5). Factors associated with presence of CPSP on movement included: no smoking (2.59, 1.07 to 6.26); and moderate to severe pain variables: preoperative pain, (1.57, 1.073 to 2.30); APSP at rest, (1.85, 1.13 to 3.02); APSP on movement, 6.11 (3.82 to 9.78); and follow-up contralateral knee pain-on-movement scores, 3.22 (2.08 to 5.00). Factors to occurrence of moderate to severe CPSP on movement include: presence of COPD (12.20, 2.19 to 67.98); and moderate to severe pain variables: preoperative pain (2.36, 1.32 to 4.23); APSP on movement (4.68, 1.95 to 11.25); and follow-up contralateral knee pain-on-movement scores (2.71, 1.66 to 4.42). Conclusion Prevention strategies should be targeted to different types of pain, and the comorbidity of COPD undergoing knee arthroplasty should receive early identification and attention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article studied the efficacy of two different analgesic methods after unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to find an effective analgesic method. METHODS A randomized, double-blind, placebo, parallel, and controlled study was performed to evaluate the benefits of combining the femoral triangle block (FTB) and the interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK). Forty patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and underwent unilateral primary TKA with FTB and IPACK were divided grouped into the experimental group, and 40 patients undergoing TKA with intra-articular cocktail analgesic mixture local injection were grouped into the control group. All patients received the patient-controlled anesthesia pump for analgesia at postoperative 48 hours. The main indexes were postoperative knee joint rest and activity pain (visual analog scale) and muscle strength of the affected limb; secondary indexes were anesthetic consumption, total morphine consumption, range of motion, and complications (such as postoperative nausea and vomiting [PONV]). RESULTS There was no significant difference in the general data of each treatment group. Compared with the conventional group, the quadriceps muscle strength of the combined FTB and IPACK group was higher with significant statistical differences after surgery (p < 0.05). At postoperative 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours, active pain was better than in the conventional group (p < 0.05). Resting pain was significantly smaller than the traditional group only at postoperative 2, 6, 12, and 48 hours (p < 0.05). Morphine consumption, anesthetics consumption, and hospitalization time were lower than the conventional group, the difference being statistically significant. There were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative wound healing, infection incidence, blood pressure, heart rate, rash, respiratory depression, deep vein thrombosis, and urinary retention. There were also no significant differences in PONV (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Combining FTB and IPACK significantly increased the quadriceps muscle in patients, together with relieving early pain and reducing the amount of anesthetic consumption at different postoperative intervals.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics can improve pain management by considering individual variations in pain perception and susceptibility and sensitivity to medicines related to genetic diversity. Due to the subjective nature of pain and the fact that people respond differently to medicines, it can be challenging to develop a consistent and successful regimen for pain disorders. Numerous factors influence the outcome of pain treatment programs, but two stand out: altered perception of pain and varying responsiveness to analgesic medicines. Numerous polymorphisms in genes such as CYP2D6, OPRM1, and ABCB1 have been identified, culminating in a heterogeneous response to pain medication in people who have these genetic polymorphisms. Improved treatment regimens that factor in pharmacogenetic differences in patients would help reduce the risk of opioid dependency and help effectively treat postoperative pain.

Comparison of intra-articular administration of adenosine, lidocaine and magnesium solution and tranexamic acid for alleviating postoperative inflammation and joint fibrosis in an experimental model of knee arthroplasty. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:726.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysregulated inflammatory responses are implicated in the pathogenesis of joint stiffness and arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of intra-articular (IA) administration of tranexamic acid (TXA), an anti-fibrinolytic commonly used in TKA, and ALM chondroprotective solution on postoperative inflammation and joint tissue healing in a rat model of knee implant surgery. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 24) were randomly divided into TXA or ALM treatment groups. The right knee of each rat was implanted with titanium (femur) and polyethylene (tibia) implants. An IA bolus (0.1 ml) of TXA or ALM was administered after implantation and capsule closure, and before skin closure. Postoperative coagulopathy, haematology and systemic inflammatory changes were assessed. Inflammatory and fibrotic markers were assessed in joint tissue, 28 days after surgery. RESULTS Haemostasis was comparable in animals treated with TXA or ALM after knee implant surgery. In contrast to ALM-treated animals, systemic inflammatory markers remained elevated at day 5 (IL-6, IL-12, IL-10, platelet count) and day 28 (IL-1β, IL-10) following surgery in TXA-treated animals. At day 28 following surgery, the extension range of motion of operated knees was 1.7-fold higher for ALM-treated animals compared to the TXA group. Key inflammatory mediators (NF-κB, IL-12, IL-2), immune cell infiltration (CD68+ cells) and markers of fibrosis (α-SMA, TGF-β) were also lower in capsular tissue of ALM-treated knees at day 28. CONCLUSION Data suggest that IA administration of ALM is superior to TXA for reducing postoperative systemic and joint inflammation and promoting restoration of healthy joint tissue architecture in a rat model of TKA. Further studies are warranted to assess the clinical translational potential of ALM IA solution to improve patient outcomes following arthroplasty.

Abstract
Amaç: Serum sitokinleri osteoartritin semptomalrı ve progresyonu ile ilişkilidir. Bu sitokinlerin Total Diz Artroplastisi (TDA) sonrası semptomların şiddeti üzerinde tahmin edici etkisinin olup olmadığı bilinmemektedir. Bu çalışma cerrahi öncesi serum sitokin seviyelerinin (SSS) hastanede kalış, cerrahi sonrası ağrı şiddeti, fonksiyonel durum, eklem pozisyon hissi ve X-ray deki değişim üzerine etkisini göstermek amacıyla gerçekleştirildi. Yöntem: Evre 4 osteoartriti olan yirmi dokuz hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalar total diz artroplastisi cerrahisi için hastaneye yatırıldı. Cerrahi öncesi SSS (IL6, TNF-alfa, IL-1beta) değerlendirildi. İstirahat/aktivite ağrı şiddeti ve alt ekstremite dizilim düzgünlüğü cerrahi öncesi, cerrahi sonrası 72. saat ve 6. haftada değerlendirildi. Fonksiyonel durum ve eklem pozisyon hissi cerrahi öncesi ve cerrahi sonrası 6. haftada değerlendirildi. Hastane kalış süresi kaydedildi. Sonuçlar: Bireylerin yaş ortalaması 67,55±6,55 yıldı. Hastane kalış süresi ortalaması 6.48±3.06 gündü (en düşük:3-en yüksek:16 gün). Cerrahi öncesi IL6 ve TNF-alfa seviyeleri 6. haftada fonksiyonel durum ile negatif yönde koreleydi (r=0,46;p=0.01,r=0,39;p=0,03). Ayrıca, cerrahi öncesi TNF-alfa ve alt ekstremite dizilim düzgünlüğü arasında pozitif korelasyon vardı (r=0,39; p=0,04). Tartışma: Cerrahi öncesi daha düşük IL6 ve TNF-alfa seviyesi olan osteoartritli hastalar cerrahi sonrası dönemde daha iyi fonksiyonel durum ve alt ekstremite düzgünlüğüne sahipti. Bu nedenle TDA cerrahisi zamanlamasına karar verebilmek için öncelikle SSS'nin azaltılması, cerrahi sonrası daha iyi biyomekanik gelişime neden olabilir. Cerrahi öncesi SSS hastane kalış süresi ile direk bağlantılı değildir.

Video-Assisted Health Education Promotes Rehabilitation Training of Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients and Reduces Stress and Burnout in Nurses Compared to Oral Education. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:5058899. [PMID: 34722765 PMCID: PMC8556099 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5058899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests video-assisted health education being an effective way in promoting rehabilitation. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of video-assisted health education in promoting rehabilitation training in postoperative OA patients and at comparing it with oral education. This study was a noncontemporaneous control study involving 179 patients who underwent TKA. For the intervention group, a bedside interactive system that recorded a series of educational videos showing a rehabilitation training program was established. For the control group, oral education having the same content as that in the videos for the intervention group was provided. After education, clinical outcomes such as occurrence of complications, circulating biomarkers of inflammation, and rehabilitation progress of the patients were obtained. Furthermore, job stress and burnout in nurses who participated in the present study were assessed. Results showed that C-reactive protein levels of patients were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (84.54 ± 36.09 vs. 99.45 ± 31.73 mg/L, P = 0.004). Faster achievement of postoperative knee flexion to 90 degrees (21.31 ± 5.83 vs. 35.72 ± 9.93 h, P < 0.001) and first ambulation (19.91 ± 4.57 vs. 50.15 ± 7.00 h, P < 0.001), reduced number of postoperative complications such as postoperative orthostatic intolerance (7 vs. 19, P = 0.008) and constipation (10 vs. 23, P = 0.009), and reduced length of hospital stay (7.51 ± 1.79 vs. 8.21 ± 2.15 days, P = 0.019) in the intervention group in comparison to the control group were noted. Emotional exhaustion and burnout of nurses were reduced significantly in the intervention group than in the control group (21.00 ± 8.04 vs. 36.50 ± 11.22, P = 0.002; 55.90 ± 11.57 vs. 85.50 ± 6.80, P < 0.001, respectively). Reduced personal accomplishments in nurses were improved significantly in the intervention group when compared with the control group (41.90 ± 4.91 vs. 32.80 ± 7.07, P = 0.004). We concluded that video-assisted health education may promote TKA patient recovery and reduce burnout and stress in nurses when compared with oral education. Video-assisted health education could be helpful in situation where manpower of nurse is in shortage.

J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:1599-1606. [PMID: 33293172 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.11.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal route for dexamethasone (DEX) administration regimen for patients undergoing primary TKA has not been investigated. This study aims to determine whether intravenous and topical DEX provide different clinical effects in patients with TKA. METHODS In this double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, 90 patients undergoing primary TKA were randomized to intravenous DEX group (n = 45) or topical DEX group (n = 45, DEX applied in anesthetic cocktail for periarticular injection). The primary outcome was postoperative VAS pain score and morphine consumption. Secondary outcomes were included knee swelling, knee flexion, and extension angle, Knee Society Score (KSS), and postoperative hospital stays. Tertiary outcomes assessed the blood-related metrics, including inflammatory biomarkers and fibrinolysis parameters. Finally, nausea and vomiting and other adverse events were compared. RESULTS The topical administration of DEX provide lower pain score at 2h, 8h, 12h at rest (P < .05) and 12h, 24h with activity (P < .05), and less knee swelling in the first postoperative day (P < .05), while intravenous DEX was more effective in decreasing blood inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (CRP) at postoperative 24h (P < .05) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) at postoperative 24h, 48h (P < .05), and reducing postoperative nausea (P < .05) for patients receiving TKA. However, there was no significant difference in knee flexion and extension angle, KSS, postoperative hospital stays, and complications occurrence (P > .05) between intravenous and topical DEX after TKA. CONCLUSION Topical administration of DEX provided better clinical outcomes on postoperative pain management and knee swelling early after TKA, while intravenous DEX was more effective in decreasing blood inflammatory biomarkers and preventing postoperative nausea.

Multi-vitamin supplementation blunts the circulating IL-6/IL-10 ratio increase after knee arthroplasty: A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study. Cytokine 2021; 140:155435. [PMID: 33497870 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2021.155435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Circulating interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 concentrations can be elevated following the surgically induced trauma of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). An exaggerated increase in IL-6 relative to IL-10 (i.e., IL-6/IL-10 ratio) associates with trauma severity and indicative of pro-inflammatory predominance. Although various vitamins and minerals alter individual IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations in the blood, surprisingly, it is unknown if a multi-vitamin supplement alters the IL-6/IL-10 ratio during the systemic inflammatory response following TKA. The objective of this study was to identify if a multi-vitamin with mineral supplement taken prior to alters the circulating IL-6/IL-10 ratio following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study consisted of a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled design. Twenty-one subjects undergoing elective, primary, unilateral TKA were randomly assigned to a placebo (PL, n = 11) or multi-vitamin with mineral supplement (MV, n = 10). Supplements were taken daily starting approximately 6-weeks prior to surgery. Supplements were not taken the day of surgery or during inpatient care 2-days after surgery. Circulating IL-6, IL-10, high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP), vitamin C (ascorbic acid (AA)), vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)), and vitamin E (α-tocopherol (αT)) concentrations were measured in fasting blood draw samples obtained ~6-weeks prior to surgery (and before starting supplementation), the morning of surgery, and 24-hours and 48-hours after surgery. MV supplementation tended to increase serum 25(OH)D and significantly increased plasma AA and plasma αT before surgery without mitigating the post-operative IL-6 and hsCRP increases. However, the post-operative increase in the serum IL-6/IL-10 ratio after surgery was significantly blunted in the MV group. Based on these findings, we conclude that a multi-vitamin with mineral supplement taken daily for several weeks before surgery might reduce the pro-inflammatory predominance after TKA. Future research confirming or refuting the novel data presented herein is needed.

Abstract
AIMS The primary aim of this study was to compare the postoperative systemic inflammatory response in conventional jig-based total knee arthroplasty (conventional TKA) versus robotic-arm assisted total knee arthroplasty (robotic TKA). Secondary aims were to compare the macroscopic soft tissue injury, femoral and tibial bone trauma, localized thermal response, and the accuracy of component positioning between the two treatment groups. METHODS This prospective randomized controlled trial included 30 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee undergoing conventional TKA versus robotic TKA. Predefined serum markers of inflammation and localized knee temperature were collected preoperatively and postoperatively at six hours, day 1, day 2, day 7, and day 28 following TKA. Blinded observers used the Macroscopic Soft Tissue Injury (MASTI) classification system to grade intraoperative periarticular soft tissue injury and bone trauma. Plain radiographs were used to assess the accuracy of achieving the planned postioning of the components in both groups. RESULTS Patients undergoing conventional TKA and robotic TKA had comparable changes in the postoperative systemic inflammatory and localized thermal response at six hours, day 1, day 2, and day 28 after surgery. Robotic TKA had significantly reduced levels of interleukin-6 (p < 0.001), tumour necrosis factor-α (p = 0.021), ESR (p = 0.001), CRP (p = 0.004), lactate dehydrogenase (p = 0.007), and creatine kinase (p = 0.004) at day 7 after surgery compared with conventional TKA. Robotic TKA was associated with significantly improved preservation of the periarticular soft tissue envelope (p < 0.001), and reduced femoral (p = 0.012) and tibial (p = 0.023) bone trauma compared with conventional TKA. Robotic TKA significantly improved the accuracy of achieving the planned limb alignment (p < 0.001), femoral component positioning (p < 0.001), and tibial component positioning (p < 0.001) compared with conventional TKA. CONCLUSION Robotic TKA was associated with a transient reduction in the early (day 7) postoperative inflammatory response but there was no difference in the immediate (< 48 hours) or late (day 28) postoperative systemic inflammatory response compared with conventional TKA. Robotic TKA was associated with decreased iatrogenic periarticular soft tissue injury, reduced femoral and tibial bone trauma, and improved accuracy of component positioning compared with conventional TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the analgesic and antiemetic effects of adjuvant dexmedetomidine (DEX) for breast cancer surgery using a meta-analysis. METHODS Electronic databases were searched to collect the studies that performed randomized controlled trials. The effect size was estimated by odd ratio (OR) or standardized mean difference (SMD). Statistical analysis was performed using the STATA 13.0 software. RESULTS Twelve published studies involving 396 DEX treatment patients and 395 patients with control treatment were included. Pooled analysis showed that the use of DEX significantly prolonged the time to first request of analgesia (SMD = 1.67), decreased the postoperative requirement for tramadol (SMD = -0.65) and morphine (total: SMD = -2.23; patient-controlled analgesia: SMD = -1.45) as well as intraoperative requirement for fentanyl (SMD = -1.60), and lower the pain score at 1 (SMD = -0.30), 2 (SMD = -1.45), 4 (SMD = -2.36), 6 (SMD = -0.63), 8 (SMD = -2.47), 12 (SMD = -0.81), 24 (SMD = -1.78), 36 (SMD = -0.92), and 48 (SMD = -0.80) hours postoperatively compared with the control group. Furthermore, the risks to develop postoperative nausea/vomiting (PONV) (OR = 0.38) and vomiting (OR = 0.54) were significantly decreased in the DEX group compared with the control group. The pain relief at early time point (2, 6, 12, 24 hours postoperatively) and the decrease in the incidence of PONV were especially obvious for the general anesthesia subgroup (P < .05) relative to local anesthesia subgroup (P >.05). CONCLUSION DEX may be a favorable anesthetic adjuvant in breast cancer surgery, which could lower postoperative pain and the risk to develop PONV. DEX should be combined especially for the patients undergoing general anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal dose regimen of dexamethasone in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is unclear. This study was conducted to compare the effects among 1-dose, 2-dose, and 3-dose dexamethasone in THA. METHODS One hundred fifty patients were randomized to receive a single preoperative dose of 10-mg dexamethasone (group A, 50 patients), or another dose of 10-mg dexamethasone 24 hours later (group B, 50 patients), or another 2 doses of 10-mg dexamethasone 24 and 48 hours later (group C, 50 patients). The primary outcome was postoperative pain level. The use of analgesic and antiemetic rescue; incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting; C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 levels; range of motion; and complications were also compared. RESULTS The dynamic pain scores were lower for groups B and C compared to group A on postoperative days 2 and 3. Such difference was also detected between groups B and C on postoperative day 3. C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 levels were lower in groups B and C than in group A at 48 and 72 hours postoperatively. Such difference was also observed between groups B and C at 72 hours postoperatively. Patients in groups B and C had reduced rescue analgesic use, and improved range of motion compared to patients in group A. There were no differences among 3 groups regarding the rescue antiemetic use, postoperative nausea and vomiting occurrence, and complications. CONCLUSION Additional administrations of dexamethasone after THA could provide sustained pain relief and inflammatory control. Besides, the 3-dose regimen was more effective than the 2-dose regimen in terms of the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I.

Abstract
Aims Intravenous dexamethasone has been shown to reduce immediate postoperative pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA), though the effects are short-lived. We aimed to assess whether two equivalent perioperative split doses were more effective than a single preoperative dose. Methods A total of 165 patients were randomly assigned into three groups: two perioperative saline injections (Group A, placebo), a single preoperative dose of 20 mg dexamethasone and a postoperative saline injection (Group B), and two perioperative doses of 10 mg dexamethasone (Group C). Patients, surgeons, and staff collecting outcome data were blinded to allocation. The primary outcome was postoperative pain level reported on a ten-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and during activity. The use of analgesic and antiemetic rescue, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), CRP and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, range of motion (ROM), length of stay (LOS), patient satisfaction, and the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) and gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) in the three months postoperatively, were also compared. Results The pain scores at rest were significantly lower in Groups B and C than in Group A on postoperative days 1 and 2. The dynamic pain scores and CRP and IL-6 levels were significantly lower for Groups B and C compared to Group A on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3. Patients in Groups B and C had a lower incidence of PONV, reduced use of analgesic and antiemetic rescue, improved ROM, shorter LOS, and reported higher satisfaction than in Group A. Patients in Group C had significantly lower dynamic pain scores and IL-6 and CRP levels on postoperative days 2 and 3, and higher ROM and satisfaction on postoperative day 3 than in Group B. No SSI or GIB occurred in any group. Conclusion Perioperative dexamethasone provides short-term advantages in reducing pain, PONV, and inflammation, and increasing range of motion in the early postoperative period after THA. A split-dose regimen was superior to a single high dose in reducing pain and inflammation, and increasing ROM, with better patient satisfaction.

Prince N, Penatzer JA, Dietz MJ, Boyd JW. Localized cytokine responses to total knee arthroplasty and total knee revision complications. J Transl Med 2020; 18:330. [PMID: 32867801 PMCID: PMC7461261 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-020-02510-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The study of localized immune-related factors has proven beneficial for a variety of conditions, and one area of interest in the field of orthopaedics is the impact of implants and localized infections on immune response. Several cytokines have shown increased systemic concentrations (in serum/plasma) in response to implants and infection, but tissue-level cytokines have not been investigated as thoroughly. Methods This exploratory study investigated tissue-level cytokines in a cohort of patients (N = 17) in response to total knee arthroplasty and total knee revision to better understand the immune response to implants and localized infection (e.g., prosthetic joint infection). The overall goal of this study was to provide insight into the localized cytokine response of tissues and identify tissue-level markers specific to inflammation caused by implants vs. inflammation caused by infection. Tissues were collected across several anatomical locations and assayed with a panel of 20 human inflammatory cytokines to understand spatial differences in cytokine levels. Results In this study, six cytokines were elevated in implanted joints, as compared to native joints: IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-17A, IL-4, and TNF-α (p < 0.05). Seven cytokines showed infection-dependent increases in localized tissues: IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1α, and MIP-1β (p < 0.05). Conclusions This study demonstrated that differences exist in tissue-level cytokines in response to presence of implant, and some cytokines were specifically elevated for infection; these responses may be informative of overall tissue health. These results highlight the utility of investigating localized cytokine concentrations to offer novel insights for total knee arthroplasty and total knee revision procedures, as well as their complications. Ultimately, this information could provide additional, quantitative measurements of tissue to aid clinical decision making and patient treatment options.

Plasma Concentrations of Select Inflammatory Cytokines Predicts Pain Intensity 48 Hours Post-Shoulder Muscle Injury. Clin J Pain 2020; 36:775-781.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The relationship between elevated inflammatory cytokine levels and peak pain intensity following acute musculoskeletal injury has not been fully elucidated in high risk subgroups. Identifying the role that these cytokines have on pain responses may help with developing tailored therapeutic approaches. METHODS Data were collected from 54 participants who were vulnerable to a robust pain response and delayed recovery following musculoskeletal injury. Participants completed baseline active and resting pain measurements and a blood draw before an exercised induced shoulder muscle injury. Participants returned at 24 and 48 hours postinjury for follow-up pain measurements and blood draws. Blood plasma was analyzed for interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor α. Pearson bivariate correlations were performed between cytokines and pain measurements to identify candidate variables for stepwise multiple linear regression predicting pain intensity reports. RESULTS Pearson bivariate correlation identified 13/45 correlations between inflammatory cytokines and resting pain intensity and 9/45 between inflammatory cytokines and active pain (P<0.05, r≥0.3 or r≤-0.3). This led to 5 stepwise multiple linear regression models, of which 4 met the statistical criterion (P<0.0167); including IL-10 baseline plasma concentrations predicting active pain (r=0.19) and resting pain (r=0.15) intensity 48 hours postinjury. IL-6 and IL-10 plasma concentrations at 48 hours were respectively associated with active and resting pain at 48 hours. DISCUSSION These findings suggest that elevated concentrations of inflammatory cytokines, specifically IL-10 (at baseline and 48 h) and IL-6 (at 48 h), may play a role in heightened pain responses following exercise-induced muscle injury.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of genetic polymorphisms of cytokines on the dosage of sufentanil for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after radical lung cancer surgery. Methods A total of 100 patients, aged 18 years and above, with ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ and body mass index (BMI) 18.5 to 30, and who were scheduled for radical lung cancer surgery under total intravenous anaesthesia with PCIA of sufentanil from September 2015 to March 2016, were selected. DNA was collected from peripheral blood samples before surgery, and the iMLDRTM multiple single-nucleotide polymorphism typing kit was used to detect 16 related single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites of interleukin-1A (IL-1A), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-1RN (IL-1RN), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumour necrosis factor (TNF), nuclear factor kappa-B1 (NFκB1), REL (REL proto-oncogene, NF-kB subunit), and nuclear factor kappa-B inhibitor alpha (NFκBIA). The general characteristics of patients, surgery and anaesthesia data, postoperative resting VAS pain scores, postoperative opioid dosages of sufentanil for PCIA and opioid-related adverse events were recorded. The effects of the examined genetic polymorphisms of the cytokines on the dosage of sufentanil were analysed. Results Eight of 100 patients withdrew for various reasons, and, eventually, 92 patients were included. The patients’ resting visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after surgery were 2.3 ± 1.2, 2.0 ± 0.9, and 1.9 ± 1.0, respectively. The total amounts of sufentanil used were 34.7 ± 10.5 μg, 65.2 ± 13.7 μg, and 94.7 ± 11.6 μg, respectively. We found that the TT genotype of NFκBIA rs696 had higher PCIA sufentanil dosages than the CC genotype and the CT genotype at 48–72 h postoperation (p=0.023, p=0.025, respectively). Conclusion The genetic polymorphisms of the cytokine NFκBIA rs696 might affect the dosage of sufentanil for PCIA after radical lung cancer surgery. The specific mechanism needs further study.

Abstract
AbstractObjectivesWe analyzed the influence of perioperative, intravenous (i.v.) lidocaine infusion as a part of multimodal anesthesia on concentrations of selected pain modulators.DesignAn observational study.SettingUniversity Children’s Hospital in Cracow, Poland, from May 2015 to May 2018.SubjectsForty-four children undergoing extensive spinal surgery, divided into two groups after surgery: the study group (N = 23), anesthetized generally with lidocaine as a co-analgesic, and the control group (N = 22), anesthetized generally without lidocaine.MethodsWe assessed proinflammatory mediators like neuron growth factor (NGF), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and FOS protein before, immediately after, six hours and 12–15 hours after surgery. We evaluated pain intensity at corresponding time points using a 10-point numerical/graphical scale.ResultsWe observed that children in the lidocaine group had reduced pain intensity in the resting state and during movement until six hours after surgery when compared with controls. We found lower NGF concentrations in the lidocaine group vs controls only at six hours after surgery. Mean HMGB1 concentrations during the postoperative period in the study group were relatively stable, whereas we observed significant increases at six hours after surgery and a slight decrease at 12–15 hours after surgery in the control group. IL-6 concentrations at six hours were lower in lidocaine patients when compared with controls. We noted a negative correlation between HMGB1, NGF, Il-6, and lidocaine concentrations after surgery. We did not find any differences in FOS protein concentrations between the groups.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that intraoperative and postoperative i.v. lidocaine administration as a part of multimodal anesthesia may reduce inflammatory-dependent postoperative pain intensity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of manual lymph drainage (MLD) on pain in Japanese patients up to 10 days after a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS This study was a randomized controlled trial performed at a University Medical Center. Patients who underwent unilateral TKA and received once daily MLD for 20 minutes prior to standard physical therapy up to 10 days after TKA were investigated. Pain at rest, knee extension muscle contraction, and maximum load were assessed using the visual analog scale (mm) before surgery, after drain removal, and after the fifth MLD. As secondary outcomes, the circumference, range of motion, muscle strength, walking speed, and walking rate were evaluated. RESULT Forty-one patients aged 45-85 participated in this study, 21 of whom were assigned to the intervention (MLD group) and 20 who were not (control group). Ten days after TKA, no significant difference was evident between the MLD and control groups for resting pain [4.5 mm (1.6-10.8) vs 7.0 mm (1.8-25.5), respectively, p=0.17], pain during knee extension muscle contraction [12.3 mm (4.5-24.8) vs 20.8 mm (6.4-31.8), p=0.41], and pain at maximum load [13.0 mm (8.3-39.8) vs 16.0 mm (4.6-32.5), p=0.73]. There were no significant differences between groups in terms of secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION This study shows that MLD up to 10 days after TKA does not affect pain.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a high initial-dose (60 mg/kg) intravenous tranexamic acid (IV-TXA) on fibrinolysis and inflammation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS A total of 132 patients were categorized into two groups based on different TXA regimens: 20 mg/kg before incision (A) or 60 mg/kg before incision (B). All patients received five doses of 1 g TXA at three, six, 12, 18, and 24 hours after the first dose. The primary outcomes were peri-operative blood loss and transfusion rate. Other outcome measurements such as, haemoglobin level, fibrinolysis parameters [fibrin(-ogen) degradation products (FDP), D-dimer], inflammatory factors [C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6)], visual analog scale (VAS) score, consumption of analgesic rescue, coagulation parameters [activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), platelet count, thrombelastography (TEG), and anti-factor Xa activity (AFXa)] and complications, were also compared. RESULTS There was a favourable effect in reducing peri-operative blood loss and transfusion rate for patients in Group B, compared with patients in Group A. In addition, the levels of FDP, D-dimer, CRP, IL-6, and dynamic pain in Group B were significantly lower than those in Group A on post-operative days one, two and three. There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative coagulation parameters and complications between the two groups. CONCLUSION A high initial-dose (60 mg/kg) IV-TXA before surgery followed by five doses can further reduce blood loss, provide additional fibrinolysis and inflammation control, and ameliorate post-operative pain following TKA, without increasing the risk of treatment-related complications.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics is the study of genetic variants that impact drug effects through changes in a drug’s pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Pharmacogenomics is being integrated into clinical pain management practice because variants in individual genes can be predictive of how a patient may respond to a drug treatment. Pain is subjective and is considered challenging to treat. Furthermore, pain patients do not respond to treatments in the same way, which makes it hard to issue a consistent treatment regimen for all pain conditions. Pharmacogenomics would bring consistency to the subjective nature of pain and could revolutionize the field of pain management by providing personalized medical care tailored to each patient based on their gene variants. Additionally, pharmacogenomics offers a solution to the opioid crisis by identifying potentially opioid-vulnerable patients who could be recommended a nonopioid treatment for their pain condition. The integration of pharmacogenomics into clinical practice creates better and safer healthcare practices for patients. In this article, we provide a comprehensive history of pharmacogenomics and pain management, and focus on up to date information on the pharmacogenomics of pain management, describing genes involved in pain, genes that may reduce or guard against pain and discuss specific pain management drugs and their genetic correlations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Data is insufficient to determine whether perioperative statin use increases or decreases postoperative pain. This study aimed to investigate the association between perioperative statin use and pain outcomes after total knee arthroplasty performed under spinal anesthesia. METHODS This is a retrospective, observational study based on medical records from a tertiary hospital between January 2005 and October 2017. Medical records of patients who underwent elective total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia as inpatients were analyzed. Pain outcomes were compared through postoperative day (POD) 3 in patients who were taking statins perioperatively versus patients who were not taking statins. RESULTS A total of 1088 propensity-matched participants were included in the final analysis (544 patients in the statin group and 544 patients in the non-statin group). The total morphine equivalent consumption through POD 3 was higher in the statin group than in the non-statin group (mean (SD), statin group: 525.4 (119.7) vs non-statin group: 495.3 (115.3), 95% CI of the difference: 15.9 to 44.4, p<0.001). In the linear regression analysis, the total morphine equivalent consumption through POD 3 was 30.14 mg higher in the statin group compared with the non-statin group (95% CI 15.93 to 44.35; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Perioperative statin use is associated with a significant increase in postoperative opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty performed under spinal anesthesia; however, this increase was so marginal that its clinical importance remains controversial.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer-associated cachexia are at risk of high morbidity and mortality. This randomized single-blind pilot study compared the complementary use of targeted acupuncture (TA) with nontargeted acupuncture (NTA) for halting cachexia symptoms. METHODS GI cancer patients with cachexia undergoing chemotherapy were assigned to receive 8 weekly sessions of either TA (n = 15) or NTA (n = 15) following a specific acupuncture protocol. Bioelectrical impedance analysis and weight were measured weekly. Biological markers, including C-reactive protein, prealbumin, tumor necrosis factor-α, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), leptin, and ghrelin blood levels were determined at specific intervals. RESULTS Prealbumin levels and fat-free mass were significantly higher in the NTA group at the end of the study, but remained stable in TA group. TA group had significantly lower (230 IU/L vs 288 IU/L, P = .04) LDH at the end of the study, but elevated tumor necrosis factor-α levels (13.15 pg/mL vs 9.24 pg/mL, P = .04). The absolute blood leptin and ghrelin levels decreased in the TA but remained stable in the NTA group. Both groups maintained weight, but the TA group trended toward weight gain during the last 2 weeks of the study. No adverse events related to acupuncture were reported. CONCLUSIONS TA using predetermined, reproducible points may provide benefits to some patients with GI cancer cachexia by normalizing metabolic dysregulation. Elevated ghrelin levels are indicative of insulin resistance, which can lead to increased muscle loss represented by increased LDH activity in the NTA group. The pilot study provided completion rate and effect size for the primary outcome measures for a larger study. A longer treatment duration may be required to further refine these findings.

Abstract
Essentials Perioperative blood loss and inflammatory response can significantly affect recovery after surgery. We studied the effects of multiple-dose oral tranexamic acid on blood loss and inflammatory response. A postoperative four-dose regimen brought about maximum reduction in postoperative blood loss. A postoperative four-dose regimen reduced inflammatory response and promoted early rehabilitation. SUMMARY: Background Tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce blood loss and the inflammatory response at multiple doses in total knee arthroplasty patients. However, the optimal regimen has not been determined. Objectives To identify the most effective regimen for achieving maximum reductions in blood loss and the inflammatory response. Patients/Methods Two hundred and seventy-five patients were randomized to receive a placebo (group A), a single 2-g oral dose of TXA 2 h preoperatively followed by 1 g of oral TXA 3 h postoperatively (group B), a single dose followed by 1 g of oral TXA 3 h and 7 h postoperatively (group C), a single dose followed by 1 g of oral TXA 3 h, 7 h and 11 h postoperatively (group D), or a single dose followed by 1 g of oral TXA 3 h, 7 h, 11 h and 15 h postoperatively (group E). The primary outcome was total blood loss on postoperative day (POD) 3. Secondary outcomes included a decrease in the hemoglobin level, coagulation parameters, inflammatory marker levels, and thromboembolic complications. Results Groups D and E had significantly lower blood loss and smaller decreases in hemoglobin level than groups A, B, and C, with no significant difference on POD 3 between groups D and E. Significantly enhanced coagulation was identified for the four multiple-dose regimens; however, all thromboelastographic parameters remained within normal ranges. Group E had the lowest inflammatory marker levels and pain, and the greatest range of motion. No thromboembolic complications were identified. Conclusion The four-dose regimen yielded the maximum reductions in blood loss and inflammatory response, improved analgesia, and promoted early rehabilitation. Further studies are required to ensure that these findings are reproducible.

Abstract
Pain is a challenge for orthopedic healthcare professionals (OHCP). However, pain studies examined the competencies of a single OHCP category, did not consider various pain management domains or barriers to optimal pain service, and are deficient across the Arabic Eastern Mediterranean region. We surveyed OHCP's recognition and knowledge of pain and perceived barriers to optimal pain service (361 OHCP, five hospitals). Chi square compared doctors' (n = 63) vs. nurses/physiotherapists' (n = 187) views. In terms of pain recognition, more nurses had pain management training, confidently assessed pediatric/elderly pain, were aware of their departments' pain protocols, and felt that their patients receive proper pain management. More doctors comfortably prescribed opiate medications and agreed that some nationalities were more sensitive to pain. For pain knowledge, more nurses felt patients are accurate in assessing their pain, vital signs are accurate in assessing children's pain, children feel less pain because of nervous system immaturity, narcotics are not preferred due respiratory depression, and knew pre-emptive analgesia. As for barriers to optimal pain service, less nurses agreed about the lack of local policies/guidelines, knowledge, and skills; time to pre-medicate patients; knowledge about medications; complexity of the clinical environment; and physicians being not comfortable prescribing pain medication. We conclude that doctors required confidence in pain, especially pediatric and geriatric pain, using vital signs in assessing pain and narcotics use. Their most perceived barriers were lack of local policies/guidelines and skills. Nurses required more confidence in medications, caring for patients on narcotics, expressed fewer barriers than doctors, and the complexity of the clinical environment was their highest barrier. Educational programs with clinical application could improve OHCPs' pain competencies/clinical practices in pain assessment and administration of analgesics.
