Abstract
BACKGROUND Anesthetic-induced immunosuppression is of particular interest in tumor surgery. This study aimed to investigate the influence of the 4 most common general anesthetic techniques on immune function in patients undergoing flap reconstruction for oral cancer. METHODS 116 patients were randomly divided into 4 groups. Patients in group S were given sevoflurane-based anesthesia. Group P was administered propofol-based anesthesia. The SD group received sevoflurane combined with dexmedetomidine anesthesia. The propofol combined with dexmedetomidine anesthesia (PD) group received PD. Blood samples were obtained at 5 time points: baseline (T0), 1 hour after the start of the operation (T1), end of the operation (T2), 24 hours (T3), and 48 hours (T4) after the operation. Lymphocyte subsets (including CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and B lymphocytes) and dendritic cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Blood glucose, norepinephrine, and cortisol levels were measured using ELISA and a blood gas analyzer respectively. RESULTS In total, 107 patients were included in the final analysis. Immunological indicators, except CD8+ counts, were all decreased in groups S, P, and SD at T1-4 compared with the baseline value, and the counts of CD3+, CD4+, and dendritic cells, as well as CD4+/CD8+ ratios, were significantly higher in the PD group than in the S, P, and SD at T1-3 (P < .05). There were no significant differences between groups P and SD at any observation time point. Intraoperative stress indices, including norepinephrine and cortisol levels, were significantly lower in the PD group than in the other 3 groups at T1-2 (P < .05). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that PD as a probably optimal choice can alleviate immunosuppression in patients undergoing flap reconstruction for oral cancer.

Xing Q, Zhou X, Zhou Y, Shi C, Jin W. Comparison of the effects of remimazolam tosylate and propofol on immune function and hemodynamics in patients undergoing laparoscopic partial hepatectomy: a randomized controlled trial. BMC Anesthesiol 2024; 24:205. [PMID: 38858649 PMCID: PMC11163695 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-024-02589-4] [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: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic partial hepatectomy inevitably decrease patient immune function. Propofol has been shown to have immunomodulatory effects but is associated with hemodynamic side effects. Despite studies showing a negligible impact of remimazolam tosylate on hemodynamics, it has not been reported for partial hepatectomy patients. Its influence on immune function also remains unexplored. This study sought to investigate the differences in immune function and intraoperative hemodynamics between patients who underwent laparoscopic partial hepatectomy with remimazolam tosylate and those who underwent laparoscopic partial hepatectomy with propofol. METHODS This was a single-center, randomized controlled trial involving 70 patients, who underwent elective laparoscopic partial hepatectomy. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the remimazolam group (group R) and the propofol group (group P). In this study, the primary outcomes assessed included the patient's immune function and hemodynamic parameters, and the secondary outcomes encompassed the patient's liver function and adverse events. RESULTS Data from 64 patients (group R, n = 31; group P, n = 33) were analyzed. The differences in the percentages of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and NK cells and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio between the two groups were not statistically significant at 1 day or 3 days after surgery. Compared with those in group P, the MAP and HR at T2 and the MAP at T1 in group R were significantly increased(P < 0.05). The differences in HR and MAP at T0, T3, T4, T5, T6, and T7 and HR at T1 between the two groups were not statistically significant. There were no differences in liver function or adverse effects between the two groups, suggesting that remimazolam tosylate is a safe sedative drug(P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The effects of remimazolam tosylate on the immune function of patients after partial hepatectomy are comparable to those of propofol. Additionally, its minimal effect on hemodynamics significantly decreases the incidence of hypotension during anesthesia induction, thereby enhancing overall perioperative safety. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered on May 9, 2022 in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, registration number ChiCTR2200059715 (09/05/2022).

Abstract
Sedative and analgesic drugs are commonly used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. Analyzing the impact of these drugs on the prognosis of cancer patients can help improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the use of propofol, benzodiazepines, and opioids on the survival of cancer patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. A total of 2,567 cancer patients from the MIMIC-III database between 2001 and 2012 were included in this retrospective cohort study. Logistic regression analyses were utilized to assess the relationship between propofol, benzodiazepine, and opioid and survival in cancer patients. The follow-up was 1 year from the patient's first admission to the ICU. Outcomes were ICU mortality, 28-day mortality, and 1-year mortality. Stratified analyses were based on patients' metastatic status. The use of propofol [odds ratio (OR) = 0.66; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.53-0.80] and opioids (OR = 0.65; 95%CI, 0.54-0.79) were associated with a decreased risk of 1-year mortality. Both benzodiazepines and opioids use were related to an increased risk of ICU mortality and 28-day mortality (all P < 0.05), whereas propofol use was associated with a decreased risk of 28-day mortality (OR = 0.59; 95%CI, 0.45-0.78). Compared with the use of benzodiazepines combined with opioids, patients who used propofol and opioids were related to a decreased risk of 1-year mortality (OR = 0.74; 95%CI, 0.55-0.98). Similar results were found in patients with metastasis and metastasis-free. Cancer patients who used propofol may experience a lower risk of mortality than benzodiazepine use.

Abstract
Surgical stress can compromise the immune system of patients with cancer, affecting susceptibility to perioperative infections, tumor progression, treatment responses, and postoperative recovery. Perioperatively reducing inflammatory responses could improve outcomes. We determined the impact of intraoperative dexmedetomidine administration on the inflammatory response and postoperative recovery in patients undergoing elective laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy. These patients were randomly assigned to the dexmedetomidine or control group (n = 42 each). The primary endpoint was the C-reactive protein (CRP) level on postoperative day 1. The secondary endpoints included the perioperative interleukin (IL)-6 levels, postoperative numerical rating scale (NRS) scores, and rescue analgesic doses. There were no significant between-group differences in terms of CRP levels. The IL-6 levels at the end of the surgery, NRS scores in the post-anesthesia care unit, and rescue pethidine requirements within the first hour postoperatively were significantly lower in the dexmedetomidine group than in the control group. The bolus deliveries-to-attempts ratio (via patient-controlled analgesia) at 2 h differed significantly between the two groups. However, IL-6 reduction was confined to a single timepoint, and the postoperative analgesic effects lasted for the first 2 h postoperatively. Low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion (0.4 µg kg-1 h-1) during laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy exerts minimal anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurological injury requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement often necessitates gastrostomy for nutritional support. The sequence of these procedures is debated over concerns for shunt infection and displacement requiring revisional surgery as a consequence of gastrostomy. OBJECTIVE To determine the optimal sequence of VPS shunt and gastrostomy tube placement in adults. METHODS In an all-payer database, adult patients undergoing gastrostomy and VPS placement were identified within 15 days between January 2010 and October 2021. Patients were categorized as receiving gastrostomy before, on the same day as, or after shunt placement. The primary outcomes of this study were rates of revision and infection. All outcomes were evaluated within 30 months after index shunting. RESULTS In total, 3015 patients were identified as undergoing VPS and gastrostomy procedures within 15 days. After a 1:1:1 match, 1080 patient records were analyzed. Revision rates at 30 months were significantly lower among patients who received VPS and gastrostomy procedures on the same day compared with gastrostomy after VPS (odds ratio [OR] 0.61, 95% CI 0.39-0.96). In addition, patients who received gastrostomy before VPS compared with those after had lower revision rates (OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.39-0.96) and infection (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.21-0.99). No significant differences were noted in mechanical complication or shunt displacement rates. CONCLUSION Patients requiring VPS and gastrostomy may benefit from undergoing both procedures concurrently or with gastrostomy before VPS placement, secondary to lower revision rates. Patients undergoing gastrostomy before VPS have the added benefit of decreased infection rates.

Abstract
Introduction: Clinical trials are the gold standard for testing new therapies. Databases like ClinicalTrials.gov provide access to trial information, mainly covering the US and Europe. In 2006, WHO introduced the global ICTRP, aggregating data from ClinicalTrials.gov and 17 other national registers, making it the largest clinical trial platform by June 2019. This study conducts a comprehensive global analysis of the ICTRP database and provides framework for large-scale data analysis, data preparation, curation, and filtering. Materials and methods: The trends in 689,793 records from the ICTRP database (covering trials registered from 1990 to 2020) were analyzed. Records were adjusted for duplicates and mapping of agents to drug classes was performed. Several databases, including DrugBank, MESH, and the NIH Drug Information Portal were used to investigate trends in agent classes. Results: Our novel approach unveiled that 0.5% of the trials we identified were hidden duplicates, primarily originating from the EUCTR database, which accounted for 82.9% of these duplicates. However, the overall number of hidden duplicates within the ICTRP seems to be decreasing. In total, 689 793 trials (478 345 interventional) were registered in the ICTRP between 1990 and 2020, surpassing the count of trials in ClinicalTrials.gov (362 500 trials by the end of 2020). We identified 4 865 unique agents in trials with DrugBank, whereas 2 633 agents were identified with NIH Drug Information Portal data. After the ClinicalTrials.gov, EUCTR had the most trials in the ICTRP, followed by CTRI, IRCT, CHiCTR, and ISRCTN. CHiCTR displayed a significant surge in trial registration around 2015, while CTRI experienced rapid growth starting in 2016. Conclusion: This study highlights both the strengths and weaknesses of using the ICTRP as a data source for analyzing trends in clinical trials, and emphasizes the value of utilizing multiple registries for a comprehensive analysis.

Abstract
Timely delivery of adjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to be advantageous in many human cancers and canine osteosarcoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to improve outcome for canine splenic hemangiosarcoma. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate whether timely adjuvant chemotherapy administration resulted in better outcome in dogs with non-metastatic splenic hemangiosarcoma undergoing splenectomy. Medical records were searched for dogs with non-metastatic, splenic hemangiosarcoma that received splenectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. The number of days from surgery to the first chemotherapy dose (StoC) was evaluated to identify the cut-off value associated with the best survival advantage. StoC and other possible prognostic factors were tested for influence on time to metastasis (TTM) and overall survival (OS). Seventy dogs were included. Median StoC was 20 days (range: 4-70). The time interval associated with the greatest survival benefit was 21 days. Median TTM and OS of dogs with StoC ≤ 21 days were significantly longer than those with StoC >21 days (TTM: 163 vs. 118 days, p = .001; OS: 238 vs. 146 days, p < .001). On multivariable analysis, StoC >21 days was the only variable significantly associated with increased risk of tumour progression (HR 2.1, p = .010) and death (HR 2.3; p = .008). Starting adjuvant chemotherapy within 21 days of surgery may be associated with a survival benefit in dogs with non-metastatic splenic hemangiosarcoma, possibly due to the early targeting of newly recruited metastatic cells after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been emerging as new regulators in the propofol-induced tumor-suppressive role. Here, we intended to investigate the involvement of circRNA-Mediator of cell motility 1 (circ-MEMO1; hsa_circ_0007385) in propofol role in cancer hallmarks of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). METHODS Real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting examined transcriptional and translational levels of circ-MEMO1, microRNA (miR)-485-3p, and NIMA-related kinase-4 (NEK4), and markers of growth and metastasis including E-cadherin, CyclinD1, and Vimentin. Cancer hallmarks were measured by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, flow cytometry, 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine assay, and transwell assay. The interaction among circ-MEMO1, miR-485-3p, NEK4 was determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay and Pearson's correlation analysis. RESULTS Circ-MEMO1 and NEK4 were high-expressed, and miR-485-3p was low-expressed in LUAD patients and cells; moreover, circ-MEMO1 and NEK4 expression in LUAD cells could be suppressed, whereas miR-485-3p could be elevated with propofol anesthesia. Functionally, propofol restrained cell viability, cell cycle entrance, cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of LUAD cells, accompanied by promoted E-cadherin and depressed CyclinD1 and Vimentin. Coincidently, high circ-MEMO1 was associated with low overall survival of LUAD patients, and overexpressing circ-MEMO1 could overall attenuate propofol effects in LUAD cells. Of note, upregulating miR-485-3p and/or interfering NEK4 could partially countermand the adverse impacts of circ-MEMO1 on propofol's role in LUAD cells. Importantly, circ-MEMO1 acted as a sponge for miR-485-3p to modulate the expression of miR-485-3p-targeted oncogene NEK4. CONCLUSION Promoting the circ-MEMO1-miR-485-3p-NEK4 axis might halt the tumor-inhibiting role of propofol in LUAD cells in vitro, suggesting a potential epigenetic pathway of propofol.

Abstract
Anesthetics are essential for cancer surgery, but accumulated research have proven that some anesthetics promote the occurrence of certain cancers, leading to adverse effects in the lives of patients. Although anesthetic technology is mature, there is no golden drug selection standard for surgical cancer treatment. To afford the responsibility of human health, a more specific regimen for cancer resection is indeed necessary. Immunosuppression in oncologic surgery has an adverse influence on the outcomes of patients. The choice of anesthetic strategies influences perioperative immunity. Among anesthetics, propofol has shown positive effects on immunity. Apart from that, propofol's anticancer effect has been generally reported, which makes it more significant in oncologic surgery. However, the immunoregulative function of propofol is not reorganized well. Herein, we have summarized the impact of propofol on different immunocytes, proposed its potential mechanism for the positive effect on cancer immunity, and offered a conceivable hypothesis on its regulation to postoperative inflammation. We conclude that the priority of propofol is high in oncologic surgery and propofol may be a promising immunomodulatory drug for tumor therapy.

[PMID: 36149914 PMCID: PMC9506622 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0274859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Previous research has associated repeated transurethral procedures after a diagnosis of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with increased risk of death of causes other than bladder cancer. Aim We investigated the overall and disease-specific risk of death in patients with NMIBC compared to a background population sample. Methods We utilized the database BladderBaSe 2.0 containing tumor-specific, health-related and socio-demographic information for 38,547 patients with NMIBC not primarily treated with radical cystectomy and 192,733 individuals in a comparison cohort, matched on age, gender, and county of residence. The cohorts were compared using Kaplan-Meier curves and Hazard ratios (HR) from a Cox regression models. In the NMIBC cohort, we analyzed the association between number of transurethral procedures and death conditioned on surviving two or five years. Results Overall survival and survival from causes other than bladder cancer estimated with Kaplan-Meier curves was 9.3% (95% confidence interval (CI) (8.6%-10.0%)) and 1.4% (95% CI 0.7%-2.1%) lower respectively for the NMIBC cohort compared to the comparison cohort at ten years. In a Cox model adjusted for prognostic group, educational level and comorbidity, the HR was 1.03 (95% CI 1.01–1.05) for death from causes other than bladder cancer comparing the NMIBC cohort to the comparison cohort. Among the NMIBC patients, there was no discernible association between number of transurethral procedures and deaths of causes other than bladder cancer after adjustment. The number of procedures were, however, associated with risk of dying from bladder cancer HR 3.56 (95% CI 3.43–3.68) for four or more resections versus one within two years of follow-up. Conclusion The results indicate that repeated diagnostic or therapeutic transurethral procedures under follow-up do not increase of risk dying from causes other than bladder cancer. The modestly raised risk for NMIBC patients dying from causes other than bladder cancer is likely explained by residual confounding.

Cancer Manag Res 2022; 14:2399-2407. [PMID: 35967754 PMCID: PMC9373996 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s361052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim is to study the effect of intraoperative application of propofol and etomidate on the long-term prognosis of patients with gastric cancer at the same tumor stage. Methods A total of 1018 patients who underwent radical gastric cancer surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2010 to December 2010 were selected and divided into the propofol and etomidate groups according to the different anesthetic induction drugs. Results Among 244 patients in TNM stage IIIA, survival times were 36.10 and 41.79 for etomidate and propofol, respectively, which were statistically different (p < 0.05). Among the 82 patients in TNM stage IIIC, survival times were 26.57 and 35.20 for etomidate and propofol, respectively, which were statistically different (p < 0.05). Conclusion In patients undergoing radical gastric cancer surgery, the application of propofol during induction of anaesthesia is more beneficial in improving the postoperative survival time compared to the application of etomidate at a specific TNM stage.

Inhalation anaesthesia compared with total intravenous anaesthesia and postoperative complications in colorectal cancer surgery: an observational registry-based study †. Br J Anaesth 2022; 129:416-426.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications are common after colorectal surgery, and possibly related to the type of anaesthesia. We aimed to determine associations between the type of anaesthesia and complications after colorectal cancer surgery using Danish registries. METHODS Patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery (2004-18) were identified in the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group Database. The cohort was enriched with the Danish Anaesthesia Database and Danish National Prescription Registry data linked by Danish Central Person Registration number. Patients were classified according to type of general anaesthesia: inhalation or TIVA. Confounders were adjusted by propensity score matching. The primary outcome was complications within 30 days postoperatively. Secondarily, we assessed specific medical and surgical complications. RESULTS We identified 22 179 individuals undergoing colorectal cancer surgery with accompanying anaesthesia data. Propensity score matching yielded 8722 individuals per group. After propensity score matching, postoperative complications were seen in 1933 (22.2%) patients undergoing inhalation anaesthesia and in 2199 (25.2%) undergoing TIVA (odds ratio [OR]=0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79-0.91). Although no difference was observed for medical complications, 1369 (15.7%) undergoing inhalation anaesthesia had surgical complications compared with 1708 (19.6%) undergoing TIVA (OR=0.76; 95% CI, 0.71-0.83). Rates of wound dehiscence, anastomotic leak, ileus, wound abscess, intra-abdominal abscess, and sepsis were statistically significantly lower in the inhalation anaesthesia group. CONCLUSION In this propensity score-matched registry study, use of inhalation anaesthesia was associated with fewer postoperative complications after colorectal cancer surgery than use of TIVA. Inhalation anaesthesia was associated with fewer complications related to wound healing and surgical infections.

Effect of intravenous lidocaine infusion on perioperative cellular immunity and the quality of postoperative recovery in breast cancer patients: a randomized controlled trial. Gland Surg 2022; 11:599-610. [PMID: 35402204 PMCID: PMC8984984 DOI: 10.21037/gs-22-134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer has become the most common malignancy worldwide. Experimental and, retrospective, clinical data indicate that anaesthetic technique might influence the risk of metastasis after cancer surgery by modulating the immune system. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of perioperative lidocaine injection on immune cells such as T lymphocytes and natural killer cells (NK cells) and the quality of postoperative recovery in breast cancer patients and to propose new ideas and relevant theoretical evidence for the selection of anesthetic protocols for perioperative tumor patients. METHODS Women (n=68) undergoing primary breast tumour resection were randomly assigned to received 2% lidocaine (n=34; group L) or placebo (normal saline; n=34; group S). Venous blood was collected thirty minutes before surgery (T0), after tumor removal (T1), immediately after surgery (T2), 24 h after surgery (T3), and 48 h after surgery (T4). The percentages of NK cells and T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+) in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry. Patients' quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) scores were recorded by questionnaire before and 24 h after the operation, as well as intraoperative propofol and remifentanil dosages, the frequency of 24 h postoperative remedial analgesia, and the incidence of nausea and vomiting, dizziness, and chest tightness. RESULTS There were 62 patients included in the study, and 60 patients were finally analyzed. The difference in the changing trend of NK cell levels in the 2 groups over time was statistically significant (F=7.675, P=0.008). The intraoperative changing trends of CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio over time differed significantly between the 2 groups of patients (P<0.05), whereas the trends of CD8+ T cells did not differ significantly (P>0.05). The QoR-15 score at 24 h after surgery was higher in Group L (128.50±20.25) than in Group S (117.50±19.50), and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.005). No adverse events such as cardiac arrhythmia and lidocaine toxicity occurred in both groups during the perioperative period. CONCLUSIONS Continuous intravenous pumping of lidocaine during the perioperative period has little effect on immune function in breast cancer patients and promotes postoperative recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is associated with significantly reduced cumulative postoperative morphine consumption in comparison with opioid-based anesthesia (OBA). Whether OFA is feasible and may improve outcomes in pancreatic surgery remains unclear. METHODS Perioperative data from 77 consecutive patients who underwent pancreatic resection were included and retrospectively reviewed. Patients received either an OBA with intraoperative remifentanil (n = 42) or an OFA (n = 35). OFA included a combination of continuous infusions of dexmedetomidine, lidocaine, and esketamine. In OBA, patients also received a single bolus of intrathecal morphine. All patients received intraoperative propofol, sevoflurane, dexamethasone, diclofenac, neuromuscular blockade. Postoperative pain management was achieved by continuous wound infiltration and patient-controlled morphine. The primary outcome was postoperative pain (Numerical Rating Scale, NRS). Opioid consumption within 48 h after extubation, length of stay, adverse events within 90 days, and 30-day mortality were included as secondary outcomes. Episodes of bradycardia and hypotension requiring rescue medication were considered as safety outcomes. RESULTS Compared to OBA, NRS (3 [2-4] vs 0 [0-2], P < 0.001) and opioid consumption (36 [24-52] vs 10 [2-24], P = 0.005) were both less in the OFA group. Length of stay was shorter by 4 days with OFA (14 [7-46] vs 10 [6-16], P < 0.001). OFA (P = 0.03), with postoperative pancreatic fistula (P = 0.0002) and delayed gastric emptying (P < 0.0001) were identified as only independent factors for length of stay. The comprehensive complication index (CCI) was the lowest with OFA (24.9 ± 25.5 vs 14.1 ± 23.4, P = 0.03). There were no differences in demographics, operative time, blood loss, bradycardia, vasopressors administration or time to extubation among groups. CONCLUSIONS In this series, OFA during pancreatic resection is feasible and independently associated with a better outcome, in particular pain outcomes. The lower rate of postoperative complications may justify future randomized trials to test the hypothesis that OFA may improve outcomes and shorten length of stay.

Abstract
Surgery-induced stress and anesthesia-related immunosuppression are believed to play a critical role in human oncology patients. Studies have hypothesized that anesthesia influences patients' outcome, promoting tumor recurrence and metastasis. Aim of the study was to investigate whether anesthesia promoted relapse in dogs with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Medical records were searched for dogs with DLBCL, that were in complete remission (CR) after the same chemo-immunotherapy protocol. Dogs receiving anesthesia were included if the procedure was performed while in CR. Time to relapse (TTR) was obtained via Kaplan–Meier method. Association between anesthesia and relapse was assessed using a nested case-control design and estimated using conditional logistic regression. Sixty-one dogs with DLBCL were included. Overall median TTR was 329 days (95% CI, 281–377). Forty-eight (79%) dogs relapsed during the study period, while 13 (21%) were still in CR at data analysis closure. Eighteen (30%) dogs received anesthesia with opioids, propofol, and isoflurane or sevoflurane. The relative risk of lymphoma relapse for dogs undergoing anesthesia was significantly higher compared with dogs not undergoing anesthesia, with an odds ratio of 3.09 (P = 0.019) on multivariable analysis. Anesthesia may promote relapse in dogs with DLBCL treated with chemo-immunotherapy, although a role of perioperative stress cannot be ultimately excluded. Considering the high frequency of anesthetic procedures required for diagnostic and therapeutic protocols among oncology patients, it is of utmost interest to characterize the effects of single anesthetic agents on the immune system. Further prospective studies are needed to better define the impact of anesthesia on patients' outcome.

Abstract
More than 70 years after its original report, the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) response continues to spark scientific interest on its mechanisms and clinical implications, particularly for anesthesiologists involved in thoracic surgery. Selective airway intubation and one-lung ventilation (OLV) facilitates the surgical intervention on a collapsed lung while the HPV redirects blood flow from the "upper" non-ventilated hypoxic lung to the "dependent" ventilated lung. Therefore, by limiting intrapulmonary shunting and optimizing ventilation-to-perfusion (V/Q) ratio, the fall in arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) is attenuated during OLV. The HPV involves a biphasic response mobilizing calcium within pulmonary vascular smooth muscles, which is activated within seconds after exposure to low alveolar oxygen pressure and that gradually disappears upon re-oxygenation. Many factors including acid-base balance, the degree of lung expansion, circulatory volemia as well as lung diseases and patient age affect HPV. Anesthetic agents, analgesics and cardiovascular medications may also interfer with HPV during the perioperative period. Since HPV represents the homeostatic mechanism for regional ventilation-to-perfusion matching and in turn, for optimal pulmonary oxygen uptake, a clear understanding of HPV is clinically relevant for all anesthesiologists.

Abstract
Background Adjuvant chemotherapy for 6 months following surgery is the standard treatment plan for stage III colon cancer. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the adjuvant chemotherapy completion time for stage III colon cancer had an effect on prognosis and cut-off time that affected the prognosis. Methods This was a retrospective study of stage III colon cancer patients who completed adjuvant chemotherapy at Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital from January 2010 to December 2017. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the association between adjuvant chemotherapy completion time and the 3-year disease-free survival (DFS). The restricted cubic spline model was used to analyze the cut-off time that affected the 3-year DFS. Results A total of 431 patients were included in the study. The 3-year DFS was associated with a combination of obstruction or perforation, preoperative serum carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) concentration, T stage, N stage, pathological stage, and adjuvant chemotherapy completion time in the univariate analysis (P<0.05). A combination of obstruction or perforation, preoperative serum CEA concentration, N stage, and adjuvant chemotherapy completion time were independent prognostic factors in the multivariate analysis (P<0.05). The cut-off time was 28 weeks for adjuvant chemotherapy completion time in the restricted cubic spline model analysis. For those whose adjuvant chemotherapy completion time was >28 weeks, the risk of 3-year recurrence was 1.428 times higher compared with those whose adjuvant chemotherapy completion time was ≤28 weeks. [P=0.032, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.034-2.055]. Conclusions The 3-year DFS of stage III colon cancer was related to the adjuvant chemotherapy completion time. For those who completed adjuvant chemotherapy >28 weeks, the risk of 3-year recurrence increased.

Abstract
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a laryngeal malignancy with a high mortality rates, and its treatment remains difficult. Sevoflurane is a surgical anesthesia which has anti-tumor effect. This investigation assessed the effects of LSCC cells treatment with Sevoflurane in vitro and in vivo. Hep-2 and Tu177 cells, human LSCC samples and BALB/C nude mice were used for result assessments. Cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion were assessed via Cell Count Kit-8, wound healing assay and transwell invasion assay respectively. MiR-26a and FOXO1 expressions was examined by qRT-PCR. FOXO1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin activities were examined by Western blotting. Moreover, animal experiments were performed to verify our findings in vitro. Lastly, miR-26a and FOXO1 expression levels in clinical samples were analyzed. According to the results, Sevoflurane decreased LSCC cells’ viability and even stimulated their apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, it could reduce the migration, invasion and EMT. Mechanistically, sevoflurane could downregulate miR-26a expression and that miR-26a could negatively modulate FOXO1 activity. Thus, sevoflurane could increase FOXO1 activity. In the clinical samples, miR-26a expression was significantly upregulated, but FOXO1 was remarkably down-regulated and miR-26a expression in LSCC was linked with better prognosis. In conclusion, MiR-26a is increased and FOXO1 is reduced in human LSCC, Sevoflurane inhibits proliferation and mediates apoptosis of LSCC cells. Further, MiR-26a binds FOXO1 directly, and FOXO1 expression is down-regulated by Sevoflurane. Finally, Sevoflurane triggers LSCC cells apoptosis in vivo. Sevoflurane use to target miR-26a/FOXO1 may be a novel alternative for LSCC therapy.

Abstract
The usage of dexmedetomidine during cancer surgery in current clinical practice is debatable, largely owing to the differing reports of its efficacy based on cancer type. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on biochemical recurrence (BCR) and radiographic progression in patients with prostate cancer, who have undergone robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Using follow-up data from two prospective randomized controlled studies, BCR and radiographic progression were compared between individuals who received dexmedetomidine (n = 58) and those who received saline (n = 56). Patients with complete follow-up records between July 2013 and June 2019 were enrolled in this study. There were no significant between-group differences in the number of patients who developed BCR and those who showed positive radiographic progression. Based on the Cox regression analysis, age (p = 0.015), Gleason score ≥ 8 (p < 0.001), and pathological tumor stage 3a and 3b (both p < 0.001) were shown to be significant predictors of post-RALP BCR. However, there was no impact on the dexmedetomidine or control groups. Low-dose administration of dexmedetomidine at a rate of 0.3–0.4 μg/kg/h did not significantly affect BCR incidence following RALP. In addition, no beneficial effect was noted on radiographic progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer patients configure a risk group for complications or death by COVID-19. For many of them, postponing or replacing their surgical treatments is not recommended. During this pandemic, surgeons must discuss the risks and benefits of treatment, and patients should sign a specific comprehensive Informed consent (IC). OBJECTIVES To report an IC and an algorithm developed for oncologic surgery during the COVID-19 outbreak. METHODS We developed an IC and a process flowchart containing a preoperative symptoms questionnaire and a PCR SARS-CoV-2 test and described all perioperative steps of this program. RESULTS Patients with negative questionnaires and tests go to surgery, those with positive ones must wait 21 days and undergo a second test before surgery is scheduled. The IC focused both on risks and benefits inherent each surgery and on the risks of perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infections or related complications. Also, the IC discusses the possibility of sudden replacement of medical staff member(s) due to the pandemic; the possibility of unexpected complications demanding emergency procedures that cannot be specifically discussed in advance is addressed. CONCLUSIONS During the pandemic, specific tools must be developed to ensure safe experiences for surgical patients and prevent them from having misunderstandings concerning their care.

Abstract
Preclinical and clinical studies have sought to better understand the effect of anesthetic agents, both volatile and intravenous, and perioperative adjuvant medications on immune function. The immune system has evolved to incorporate both innate and adaptive components, which are delicately interwoven and essential for host defense from pathogens and malignancy. This review summarizes the complex and nuanced relationship that exists between each anesthetic agent or perioperative adjuvant medication studied and innate and adaptive immune function with resultant clinical implications. The most commonly used anesthetic agents were chosen for review including volatile agents (sevoflurane, isoflurane, desflurane, and halothane), intravenous agents (propofol, ketamine, etomidate, and dexmedetomidine), and perioperative adjuvant medications (benzodiazepines, opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], and local anesthetic agents). Patients who undergo surgery experience varying combinations of the aforementioned anesthetic agents and adjuncts, depending on the type of surgery and their comorbidities. Each has unique effects on immunity, which may be more or less ideal depending on the clinical situation. Further study is needed to better understand the clinical effects of these relationships so that patient-specific strategies can be developed to improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy. Sevoflurane has been reported to involve in the progression in several cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of sevoflurane in CRC progression remains unclear. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot was used to detect the expression of miR-637 and WNT1. Cell migration, invasion and apoptosis were detected by transwell assay, flow cytometry or western blot, respectively. The interaction between WNT1 and miR-637 was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation assay and pull-down assay. We found sevoflurane could inhibit cell migration and invasion but induced apoptosis in CRC. Besides, the miR-637 level was decreased in CRC tissues and cells but could be rescued by sevoflurane. MiR-637 overexpression enhanced the anticancer functions of sevoflurane in CRC cells, while miR-637 inhibition showed opposite effects. WNT1 was confirmed to be a target of miR-637 and was inhibited by sevoflurane or miR-637. Importantly, knockdown of WNT1 reversed the carcinogenic effects mediated by miR-637 inhibitor in CRC cells treated with sevoflurane. Collectively, sevoflurane inhibited cell migration, invasion and induced apoptosis by regulating the miR-637/WNT1 axis in colorectal cancer, indicating a novel insight into the effective clinical implication for the anesthetic in CRC treatment.

Abstract
It is difficult to control the recurrence and metastasis of malignant tumors; furthermore, anesthesia is considered one of the main influencing factors. There has been increasing clinical attention on the effects of anesthetic drugs and methods on postoperative tumor growth and metastasis. We reviewed the effects of anesthesia on tumor recurrence and metastasis; specifically, the effects of anesthetic agents, anesthesia methods, and related factors during the perioperative period on the tumor growth and metastasis were analyzed. This study can provide reference standards for rational anesthesia formulations and cancer-related pain analgesia protocols for surgical procedures in patients with malignant tumors. Moreover, it contributes toward an experimental basis for the improvement and development of novel anesthetic agents and methods.
