Abstract
BACKGROUND Sufentanil-induced cough is common during the induction of anesthesia. The objective of this study was to determine whether pretreatment with a small dose of esketamine is effective in treating sufentanil-induced cough. METHODS 220 patients were screened, and 200 patients who had scheduled elective surgery and were between 18 and 70 years old were randomly divided into two groups. Before sufentanil was administered, esketamine group (group K) was injected with 0.15 mg/kg esketamine at 5 s, and control group (group C) was administered with the same volume. Within 1 min after sufentanil(0.4ug/kg) injection during induction, cough incidence and severity were evaluated. After sufentanil was injected, we recorded its hemodynamic changes and side effects. RESULTS In the esketamine group (group K) and control group (group C), there was an incidence of cough of 5 and 34%, respectively. The esketamine group (group K) had a significantly lower incidence and severity of cough compared to the control group (group C) immediately after sufentanil injection (P < 0.05). MAP and HR did not differ significantly between the two groups during three different times of general anesthesia induction (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION In our study, we found that sufentanil-induced cough was significantly reduced by pretreatment with 0.15 mg/kg esketamine, but with no significant changes in the hemodynamic status.

Abstract
Sufentanil is a common opioid anesthetic agent, which exerts anti-cancer properties in several cancer types. However, its action mechanisms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are unclear. Therefore, the present study investigated the pharmacological effect of sufentanil on miRNAs in NSCLC treatment. In this study, after treatment with sufentanil, the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of A549 and H1299 NSCLC cell lines were measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, transwell assays and flow cytometry. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was utilized to detect the expression of miR-186-5p and high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), and their interaction was analyzed using luciferase reporter assay. The proteins of HMGB1, and apoptosis- and Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related factors were detected by western blot. It was demonstrated that sufentanil significantly upregulated miR‑186‑5p to restrict NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and boost apoptosis in vitro. Mechanically, miR-186-5p interacted with HMGB1 and negatively regulated HMGB1 in NSCLC cells. Furthermore, rescue assay showed that sufentanil exerted antitumor activities by upregulating miR-186-5p, which targeted HMGB1 and restrained Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway in NSCLC cells. In conclusion, these results suggested that sufentanil disrupts the oncogenicity of NSCLC cells by regulating miR-186-5p/HMGB1/β-catenin axis, providing a promising implication for the anti-oncogenic effect of sufentanil.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inguinal hernia repair is a common pediatric procedure. We studied postoperative recovery times in children undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with anesthesia induced by fentanyl versus sufentanil. METHODS We performed a pilot randomized clinical trial between February and December 2022. Eligible children were assigned into two age groups, 2-6 and 6-12 years old groups. Then, children in each age group were randomly assigned into either the fentanyl (2 µg/kg) or sufentanil (0.2 µg/kg) group for anesthesia induction. Baseline characteristics were collected. The primary outcome was the postoperative recovery time, which was recorded as the time period from extubation to a Steward recovery score reaching 6. Secondary outcomes included surgical duration, anesthetic duration, intubation duration, and intraoperative hemorrhage. RESULTS There were 300 children, with 75 children in each group. In the 2-6 years old group, children who received fentanyl had statistically significantly shorter postoperative recovery times than children who received sufentanil (0.9 ± 0.4 versus 1.5 ± 0.3 h, P < 0.001). However, in the 6-12 years old group, children who received fentanyl had statistically significantly longer postoperative recovery times than children who received sufentanil (1.2 ± 0.4 versus 0.8 ± 0.4 h, P < 0.001). Baseline characteristics and secondary outcomes were comparable between two groups. CONCLUSIONS Anesthesia induction with fentanyl or sufentanil resulted in different postoperative recovery times after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in children in different age groups. More studies are required to determine the appropriate induction anesthetic in children of different ages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with microwave ablation (MWA) is an effective treatment strategy for patients with advanced gastric cancer and liver metastasis. However, it may cause severe postoperative pain and inflammatory responses. The paravertebral block (PVB) is a regional anesthetic technique that provides analgesia to the thoracic and abdominal regions. AIM To evaluate the effect of PVB on postoperative analgesia and inflammatory response in patients undergoing TACE combined with MWA for advanced gastric cancer and liver metastasis. METHODS Sixty patients were randomly divided into PVB and control groups. The PVB group received ultrasound-guided PVB with 0.375% ropivacaine preoperatively, whereas the control group received intravenous analgesia with sufentanil. The primary outcome was the visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after the procedure. Secondary outcomes were the dose of sufentanil used, incidence of adverse events, and levels of inflammatory markers (white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin) before and after the procedure. RESULTS The PVB group had significantly lower VAS scores at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after the procedure compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The PVB group also had a significantly lower consumption of sufentanil and a lower incidence of nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression than did the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the PVB group had significantly lower levels of inflammatory markers 24 h and 48 h after the procedure (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION PVB can effectively reduce postoperative pain and inflammatory responses and improve postoperative comfort and recovery in patients with advanced gastric cancer and liver metastasis treated with TACE combined with MWA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical conization is a brief but painful procedure that can be performed under sufficient sedation with propofol and opioids. However, this sedation approach comes with a high risk of sedation-related adverse events (SRAEs). Esketamine, an N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, causes less cardiorespiratory depression than opioids. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of adding a low dose of esketamine to propofol and sufentanil sedation as an opioid-reduced regimen. METHODS A total of 122 consecutive patients with ASA I-II, body mass index < 30, and STOP-BANG score < 3 who underwent cervical conization were enrolled and randomly divided into Group S and Group ES. Using a closed-loop target-controlled infusion (TCI) pump with a target bispectral index (BIS) value of 60 ± 5, patients in Group S were sedated with 0.2 mcg·kg-1 sufentanil and propofol, while patients in Group ES were sedated with 0.15 mg·kg-1 esketamine, 0.1 mcg·kg-1 sufentanil and propofol. The primary outcome was the incidence and severity of SRAEs, while the secondary outcomes included effectiveness of sedation, awakening time, psychotomimetic side effects, postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and patient and gynaecologist satisfaction. RESULTS Data from 120 patients were analysed. The incidence of composite SRAEs was significantly higher in Group S than in Group ES (85.0% vs. 56.7%, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the severity of SRAEs was higher in Group S than in Group ES (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the effectiveness of sedation, awakening time, psychotomimetic side effects, postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, or patient and gynaecologist satisfaction between the two groups. CONCLUSION Adding low-dose esketamine to propofol and sufentanil sedation reduces the incidence and severity of SRAEs in patients undergoing cervical conization, with equal sedation efficacy, recovery quality, and no additional psychomimetic side effects.

Abstract
Background Both in vitro and in animal studies have shown immunosuppressive effects of opioids which might provoke tumour growth and metastasis, while no definite results were shown in previous clinical studies. To find out the effects between general anaesthesia combined with sufentanil target-controlled infusion (SGA) and general anaesthesia combined with epidural anaesthesia (EGA) on immunological alterations, stress responses and prognosis in patients undergoing open hepatectomy, a prospective, non-inferiority, randomized-controlled study was performed. Methods Patients with liver neoplasms undergoing open hepatectomy were randomly assigned to either SGA (n=81) or EGA (n=81) group. The primary outcome was the ratio of interferon (IFN)-γ/interleukin (IL)-4 at 24 h after surgery (T3). The secondary outcomes included immune-related cytokines, circulating immune cells, stress-related cytokines, cortisol and blood glucose, visual analogue scale scores. Plasma was sampled at five-time points [baseline/before surgery (T0), 5 min after portal block release (T1), 1 h after surgery (T2), T3, and on a postoperative day (POD)5 (T4)]. Cancer-related outcomes, including recurrence, metastasis and survival, were followed up at 3 months and 1 year after surgery. Results The IFN-γ/IL-4 ratios were comparable between both groups at T3 {median [interquartile range (IQR)]: 20.78 (12.73-29.18) vs. 19.52 (13.98-29.29), P=0.607}. At T3, the proportions of circulating T cells were decreased, while those of B and natural killer cells were increased. The plasma level of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α at T2 was significantly higher in the SGA group [median (IQR): 7.45 (6.20-9.80) vs. 5.95 (4.95-7.45) pg/mL, P<0.001]. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was less effective than epidural analgesia on POD0 and POD2. For hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-related outcomes, no significant differences were found in either short- or long-term follow-ups. Conclusions Although the levels of TNF-α were higher in the SGA group, the tumour-related immunological alterations and follow-ups showed no difference between groups. SGA appears not to be inferior to EGA regarding tumour-related immunity and prognosis. Intravenous opioid use appears not to be inferior to epidural anaesthesia, and can be used safely in HCC patients without worsening patients' prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rectal carcinoma (RC) treatment primarily involves laparoscopic surgery, which may induce significant hemodynamic changes and weaken immune function. Certain anesthetic approaches using opioid drugs (including remifentanil and sufentanil) pose risks, such as hypotension. AIM To determine the effects of remifentanil combined with propofol on hemodynamics and oxidative stress in patients undergoing RC resection. METHODS A total of 211 patients one hundred and four patients with RC treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between November 2018 and November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, the remifentanil group included 45 patients receiving remifentanil with propofol anesthesia and the sufentanil group included 59 patients receiving sufentanil with propofol anesthesia. Changes in the hemodynamic index, oxidative stress index, general data, consumption of remifentanil, and use of vasoactive drugs were compared. The incidences of adverse reactions were calculated. RESULTS The two groups did not significantly differ in terms of operation, anesthesia, and extubation times (P > 0.05). At 1 min after intubation, the sufentanil group showed a notably higher heart rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) compared with the remifentanil group (P < 0.05), whereas the sufentanil group showed a notably higher SBP and MAP compared with the remifentanil group at 5 min after pneumoperitoneum (P < 0.05). Thirty minutes after surgery, the remifentanil group showed significantly lower plasma cortisol, noradrenaline, and glucose levels than the sufentanil group (P < 0.001). The remifentanil group consumed significantly less remifentanil than the sufentanil group (P < 0.05), and the adoption frequency of ephedrine was lower in the remifentanil group than that in the sufentanil group (P < 0.05). The incidence of hypotension was notably higher in the sufentanil group than that in the remifentanil group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Remifentanil combined with propofol can improve hemodynamics and relieve oxidative stress in patients undergoing RC resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications that affect the recovery and well-being of elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery.
AIM To investigate the effect of butorphanol on PONV in this patient population.
METHODS A total of 110 elderly patients (≥ 65 years old) who underwent gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery were randomly assigned to receive butorphanol (40 μg/kg) or sufentanil (0.3 μg/kg) during anesthesia induction in a 1:1 ratio. The measured outcomes included the incidence of PONV at 48 h after surgery, intraoperative dose of propofol and remifentanil, Bruggrmann Comfort Scale score in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), number of compressions for postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA), and time to first flatulence after surgery.
RESULTS The results revealed a noteworthy reduction in the occurrence of PONV at 24 h after surgery in the butorphanol group, when compared to the sufentanil group (T1: 23.64% vs 5.45%, T2: 43.64% vs 20.00%, P < 0.05). However, no significant variations were observed between the two groups, in terms of the clinical characteristics, such as the PONV or motion sickness history, intraoperative and postoperative 48-h total infusion volume and hemodynamic parameters, intraoperative dose of propofol and remifentanil, number of postoperative PCIA compressions, time until the first occurrence of postoperative flatulence, and incidence of PONV at 48 h post-surgery (all, P > 0.05). Furthermore, patients in the butorphanol group were more comfortable, when compared to patients in the sufentanil group in the PACU.
CONCLUSION The present study revealed that butorphanol can be an efficacious substitute for sufentanil during anesthesia induction to diminish PONV within 24 h following gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery in the elderly, simultaneously improving patient comfort in the PACU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brachial plexus block (BPB) has been accepted as a reliable alternative for general anesthesia in upper limb surgeries. Adding adjuvant drugs like dexmedetomidine and sufentanil has been shown to have clinical and pharmacologic advantages. In this randomized parallel clinical trial, we aim to compare the effects of these two adjuvants for bupivacaine in BPB. METHODS In this double-blinded study, by using computer-assisted block randomization, 40 patients ranged from 20 to 65 years old and scheduled for elective upper limb surgeries were assigned to two equal study groups (n = 20), receiving 1 mL of 5 ..g.mL-1 sufentanil (group S) or 1 mL of 100 ..g.mL-1 dexmedetomidine (group D) in adjunction to 30 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine for supraclavicular BPB under the guidance of ultrasonography. Characteristics of local anesthesia and postoperative analgesia were evaluated (n = 40). RESULTS The duration of blocks significantly improved in group S (sensory: estimated median difference (EMD) [95%CI] = 100.0 [70.0...130.0], p < 0.001; motor: EMD [95%CI] = 120.0 [100.0...130.0], p < 0.001). Group S also had significantly longer postoperative analgesia and lower opioid consumption within 24 hours after the surgery (EMD [95%CI] = 4.0 [3.0...7.0], p < 0.001; EMD [95%CI] = -5.0 [-5.0...-5.0], p < 0.001; respectively). None of the patients showed adverse effects concerning vital signs, nausea, or vomiting. CONCLUSION Our study showed that during ultrasound-guided supraclavicular BPB, sufentanil is a fairly better choice than dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant for bupivacaine and can provide preferable sensory and motor blocks. No significant side effects were seen in either of the study groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remifentanil and sufentanil are potent short-acting synthetic opioid analgesics. The administration of remifentanil has been associated with the incidence of opioid-induced hyperalgesia. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia may be alleviated when opioids, such as morphine, are switched to sufentanil. Therefore, this retrospective observational study aimed to compare the effects of remifentanil and sufentanil on postoperative pain in patients undergoing robotic gynecological surgery. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the electronic medical records of patients who underwent elective robotic gynecological surgery between January 2016 and February 2021. The patients were classified into sufentanil (n = 159) or remifentanil (n = 359) groups according to the opioids administered continuously during anesthesia. The primary outcome assessed in this study was the postoperative pain score measured using the numeric rating scale (NRS). The secondary outcomes assessed included the recovery time (from discontinuation of opioid infusion to extubation) and frequency of rescue analgesic administration in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). RESULTS The recovery time did not differ significantly between the two groups. The NRS score for pain (median [1Q, 3Q]) in the PACU was significantly lower in the sufentanil group than in the remifentanil group (2 [2, 3] vs. 4 [3, 7], P < 0.001). The frequency of rescue analgesic administration in the PACU was 6.3% and 35.4% in the sufentanil and remifentanil groups, respectively (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Sufentanil, as an adjunct to sevoflurane anesthesia is more advantageous than remifentanil in terms of postoperative pain control during robotic gynecological surgery.

Abstract
It is a well-known fact that general anesthesia leads to cerebral hemorrhage in patients with spontaneous hypertension apart of the fact that the hypertension is under control. The literature is already flooded with this debate, and still, there appears a lag regarding the effects of high blood pressure on pathological changes in the brain after cerebral hemorrhage. They are still not well recognized. Furthermore, it is the stage of anesthesia resuscitation which is known to have adverse effects on the body during cerebral hemorrhage. Owing to the lag of knowledge in the above said facts, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of propofol combined with sufentanil on the expression of Bax, BCL-2, and caspase-3 genes in spontaneously hypertensive rats suffering with cerebral hemorrhage. The initial sample consisted of 54 male Wrister rats. All were of the age of 7 to 8 months with a weight of 500 ± 100 gm. All the rats were evaluated by the investigators before enrolment. A total of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine followed by a 10 mg/kg intravenous injection of propofol was introduced to each included rat. It was followed by a total of 1 μG/kg/h of sufentanil which was administered to rats who had cerebral hemorrhage (n = 27). The rest 27 normal rats were not administered with sufentanil. Hemodynamic parameters, biochemistry, western blot assay, and immunohistochemical staining were performed. The results were statistically analyzed. Heart rate (p < 0.0001) was higher for rats who had a cerebral hemorrhage. The cytokine levels of rats who had cerebral hemorrhage were higher than those of normal rats (p < 0.01 for all). Bacl-2 (p < 0.01), bax (p < 0.01), and caspase-3 (p < 0.01) expressions were reported to be disturbed in rats who had cerebral hemorrhage. Urine volume was reduced in rats who had cerebral hemorrhage (p < 0.01). It was concluded that in spontaneously hypertensive rats with cerebral hemorrhage, propofol combined with sufentanil target-controlled intravenous anesthesia increased hemodynamic parameters and cytokine levels. Furthermore, cerebral hemorrhage disturbs the expression of bacl-2, Bax, and caspase-3 expressions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Post-operative nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) is a common post-operative adverse reaction and has been associated with post-operative sufentanil injection. The assessment of the relationship between intraoperative opioid consumption and PONV has been understudied. This study examined the relationship between intraoperative sufentanil administration and PONV. METHODS This was a single-center retrospective observational study. Patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia with the preoperative thoracic paravertebral block between January 2017 and June 2020 at the Peking University People's Hospital were recruited for this study. Patients were grouped into two groups according to whether or not PONV occurred on postoperative day 1 (POD1). The factors associated with PONV were analyzed using logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 2733 patients, 1510 males and 1223 females, were included in this study. Among them, 143 patients developed PONV, a 5.2% (143/2733) PONV incidence. Logistic regression analysis showed that female, nonsmoking, sufentanil patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA), POD1 opioids consumption, and a time-weighted average of intraoperative sufentanil (twSuf) were associated with PONV. All patients were further divided into four subgroups based on intraoperative twSuf. Logistic regression analysis revealed that twSuf higher than 0.21 μg kg-1 h-1 was an independent risk factor for PONV. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative sufentanil injection with a twSuf higher than 0.21 μg kg-1 h-1 increased the risk of PONV in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia after a preoperative thoracic paravertebral block.

Abstract
Background To improve the quality of intraoperative and postoperative analgesia during spinal anesthesia, intrathecal opioids are used as adjuvant drugs in combination with local anesthetics. Objectives This study aimed to compare the intrathecal injection of ropivacaine-fentanyl with ropivacaine-sufentanil in terms of the duration of analgesia after cesarean section (CS). Methods This randomized, double-blind clinical trial study was conducted on women referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital of Ahvaz City for elective CS in 2021. A total of 51 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. The first group (n = 25) received ropivacaine (17.5 mg) + fentanyl (25 μg), while the second group (n = 26) received ropivacaine (17.5 mg) + sufentanil (2.5 μg) for spinal anesthesia. Eventually, several parameters were investigated, including the duration of sensory and motor block, duration of analgesia (based on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)), hemodynamic parameters, and possible complications. Results The duration of surgery (P = 0.059) and the duration of motor block (P = 0.962) were not significantly different between the 2 groups. The mean duration of analgesia (from the time of entering recovery to reaching VAS = 3) was 203.12 ± 72.93 and 207.46 ± 69.59 minutes in the fentanyl and sufentanil groups, respectively (P = 0.658). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) drops in minute 5 were observed more frequently in the sufentanil group than in the fentanyl group (P = 0.027 and P = 0.002, respectively). At the other time points, however, no significant difference was observed between the 2 groups in terms of hemodynamic variables (P > 0.05). Finally, the frequency of pruritus was higher in the sufentanil group than in the fentanyl group (26.9% vs. 4.0%; P = 0.024). Conclusions Adding fentanyl or sufentanil to intrathecal ropivacaine provides a similar duration of analgesia. However, fentanyl was associated with better hemodynamic stability and a lower incidence of pruritus.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to reduce the intensity of myoclonus movements by comparing the effectiveness of granisetron and sufentanil in reducing the intensity of etomidate-induced myoclonic movements. Etomidate-induced myoclonus occurs in up to 85% of patients under general anaesthesia. This type of myoclonus can induce significant clinical and economic problems in patients with special conditions. Methods This double-blind randomised clinical trial study consisted of 96 adult patients recruited between January and July 2021 from Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. Using block randomisation, subjects were divided into three groups of 32 patients: the group receiving granisetron 40 μg/kg (group G), the group receiving sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg (group S) and the control group who did not receive the pretreatment (group C). Patients received these medications as pretreatments 120 seconds before induction with etomidate. After the injection of etomidate with a dose of 0.3 mg/kg, the incidence of myoclonus was evaluated. After evaluating the myoclonus, the full dose of narcotics (fentanyl 1 μg/kg) and muscle relaxants (atracurium 0.5 mg/kg) were administered to patients and a suitable airway was established for them. Results The findings indicated that granisetron reduced the intensity and incidence of myoclonic movements more than sufentanil. In addition, myoclonic movements were observed at a significantly higher intensity in the control group (P = 0.001). Conclusion The results obtained from the current study indicate that granisetron and sufentanil as pretreatments are effective for reducing myoclonus in patients.

Abstract
Sevoflurane, commonly administered to children as anesthesia, often leads to emergence delirium (ED). Currently, a consensus is lacking among clinicians regarding pharmacological interventions to improve recovery. To determine an effective approach, we compared the effects of several drugs in lowering the incidence of ED after sevoflurane anesthesia in children.We searched online databases for relevant randomized controlled trials (59 studies selected; 5199 NMA-eligible participants) and performed a frequentist network meta-analysis (NMA). This study was registered on PROSPERO (number CRD: 42022329939).All included studies had a low to moderate risk of overall bias. The incidence of ED after sevoflurane anesthesia in children differed according to other drugs administered, and were ranked from high to low according to the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA).Sufentanil (91.2%) and dexmedetomidine (77.6%) were more likely to reduce the incidence (SUCRA value) of ED, whereas the placebo (6.5%), ramelteon (11.1%), and magnesium (18%) were less likely to reduce the incidence of ED. Remifentanil (89.3%) ranked first in shortening emergence time, followed by placebo (82.4%) and ketamine (69.7%). Placebo shortened extubation time, followed by remifentanil (66.5%) and alfentanil (61.4%).Sufentanil and remifentanil lowered sevoflurane-induced ED incidences among children and shortened the emergence time more effectively than other drugs. Most adjuvant drugs that are combined with sevoflurane either do not change or may even prolong extubation time. Further research and clinical trials are required to support and update these conclusions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this work is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of sufentanil vs. remifentanil anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing curative resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Medical records of elderly patients aged ≥ 65 years who received curative resection for HCC between January 2017 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into either the sufentanil group or the remifentanil group according to the method of analgesia used. Vital signs including mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), distribution of T-cell subsets (CD3, CD4, and CD8 lymphocytes), distribution of the stress response index [cortisol (COR), interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), and glucose (GLU)] were recorded prior to anesthesia (T0), after induction of anesthesia (T1), at the end of surgery (T2), 24 h after surgery (T3), and 72 h after surgery (T4). Postoperative adverse events were collected. RESULTS Repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that after controlling for baseline patient demographic and treatment characteristics as covariates, both between- and within-group effects were significant (all P < 0.01), and the interaction between time and treatments was also significant (all P < 0.01) in the vital signs (MAP, HR, and SpO2), distribution of T-cell subsets (CD3, CD4, and CD8 lymphocytes), and distribution of the stress response index (COR, IL-6, CRP, and GLU), indicating that sufentanil led to stable hemodynamic and respiratory functions, lower reduction of T-lymphocyte subsets, and stable stress response indices compared to remifentanil. There is no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups (P = 0.72). CONCLUSIONS Sufentanil was associated with improved hemodynamic and respiratory function, less stress response, less inhibition of cellular immunity, and similar adverse reactions compared with remifentanil.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a difficult procedure with disadvantages of long operating time, intraoperative stimulation of sympathetic nerve excitation and postoperative pain, and suppression of immune function.
AIM To investigate the effect of propofol combined with different anesthesia drugs in patients undergoing intestinal ESD.
METHODS One hundred and fifty patients who planned to undergo intestinal ESD at our hospital from January 2019 to August 2022 were selected and randomly divided into three groups: A, B, and C, with 50 patients in each group. Group A was given propofol + sufentanil + nalbuphine, group B was given propofol + sufentanil, and group C was given propofol. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and respiratory and circulatory function (pressure airway, Paw), partial pressure of end-expiratory carbon dioxide (PETCO2), bispectral index (BIS), red blood cell immunity [RBC immunocomplex rosette rate (RBC-ICR), erythrocyte cell membrane C3b receptor rosette rate (RBC-C3bR), and cooperative tumor erythrocyte rosette rate (ATER)], intraoperative and post-operative conditions, and adverse reactions were compared among the groups.
RESULTS Paw and PETCO2 in group A were significantly lower than those in group B and group C from T1 to T3 (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in BIS values among the three groups from T0 to T3 (P < 0.05). The amount of propofol used, the number of analgesic pump compressions within 48 h after surgery, and the consumption of analgesic pump drugs were significantly lower in group A than in group B and group C (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION Propofol combined with sufentanil and nalbuphine can better alleviate respiratory and circulatory function inhibition, improve red cell immunity, and reduce the dosage of analgesic drugs in patients with intestinal ESD, with high safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) has become a great concern in clinical practice with high morbidity and mortality rates. Sufentanil has protective effects on IRI-induced organ injury. Herein, the effects of sufentanil on RIRI were investigated. METHODS RIRI cell model was established by hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R) stimulation. The mRNA and protein expressions were assessed using qRT-PCR and western blot. TMCK-1 cell viability and apoptosis were assessed using MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS level were detected by JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential fluorescent probe and DCFH-DA fluorescent probe, respectively. LDH, SOD, CAT, GSH and MDA levels were determined by the kits. The interaction between FOXO1 and Pin1 promoter was analyzed using dual luciferase reporter gene and ChIP assays. RESULTS Our results revealed that sufentanil treatment attenuated H/R-induced cell apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation and activated PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 associated proteins, while these effects were reversed by PI3K inhibitor, suggesting that sufentanil attenuated RIRI via activating the PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 signaling pathway. We subsequently found that FOXO1 transcriptionally activated Pin1 in TCMK-1 cells. Pin1 inhibition ameliorated H/R-induced TCMK-1 cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation. In addition, as expected, the biological effects of sufentanil on H/R-treated TMCK-1 cells were abrogated by Pin1 overexpression. CONCLUSION Sufentanil reduced Pin1 expression through activation of the PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 signaling to suppress cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation in renal tubular epithelial cells during RIRI development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the postoperative effects of sufentanil preemptive analgesia combined with psychological intervention on breast cancer patients undergoing radical surgery. METHODS 112 female breast cancer patients aged 18-80 years old who underwent radical surgery by the same surgeon were randomly divided into 4 groups, and there were 28 patients in each group. Patients in group A were given 10 µg sufentanil preemptive analgesia combined with perioperative psychological support therapy (PPST), group B had only 10 µg sufentanil preemptive analgesia, group C had only PPST, and group D were under general anesthesia with conventional intubation. Visual analogue scoring (VAS) was used for analgesic evaluation at 2, 12 and 24 h after surgery and compared among the four groups by ANOVA method. RESULTS The awakening time of patients in group A or B was significantly shorter than that in group C or D, and the awakening time in group C was significantly shorter than that in group D. Moreover, patients in group A had the shortest extubation time, while the group D had the longest extubation time. The VAS scores at different time points showed significant difference, and the VAS scores at 12 and 24 h were significantly lower than those at 2 h (P < 0.05). The VAS scores and the changing trend of VAS scores were varied among the four groups (P < 0.05). In addition, we also found that patients in group A had the longest time to use the first pain medication after surgery, while patients in group D had the shortest time. But the adverse reactions among the four groups showed no difference. CONCLUSIONS Sufentanil preemptive analgesia combined with psychological intervention can effectively relieve the postoperative pain of breast cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is commonly encountered in the Emergency Department (ED) and pre-hospital setting and often requires opioid analgesia. We sought to synthesize the available evidence on the effectiveness of sufentanil for acute pain relief for adult patients in the pre-hospital or ED setting. METHODS This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Medline, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and CINAHL were searched from inception to February 1, 2022. The grey literature was also searched. We included randomized controlled trials of adult patients with acute pain who were treated with sufentanil. Two reviewers independently completed screening, full text review, and data extraction. Primary outcome was reduction in pain. Secondary outcomes included adverse events, need for rescue analgesia, and patient and provider satisfaction. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool. A meta-analysis was not performed due to heterogeneity. RESULTS Of 1120 unique citations, four studies (3 ED and 1 pre-hospital) met full inclusion criteria (n = 467 participants). The overall quality of the included studies was high. Intranasal (IN) sufentanil was superior to placebo for pain relief at 30 min (difference 20.8%, 95% CI 4.0-36.2%, p = 0.01). Both IN (two studies) and IV sufentanil (one study) were comparable to IV morphine. Mild adverse events were common and there was a higher propensity for minor sedation in patients receiving sufentanil. There were no serious adverse events requiring advanced interventions. CONCLUSION Sufentanil was comparable to IV morphine and was superior to placebo for rapid relief of acute pain in the ED setting. The safety profile of sufentanil is similar to IV morphine in this setting, with minimal concern for serious adverse events. The intranasal formulation may provide an alternative, rapid, non-parenteral route that could benefit our unique emergency department and pre-hospital patient population. Due to the overall small sample size of this review, larger studies are required to confirm safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies on animal models have suggested that δ-opioid receptor (OR) signaling is the primary pathway responsible for opioids' cardioprotective effect. We hypothesize that the μ-OR's activation protects the human heart muscle. METHODS We performed the experiments on muscular trabeculae obtained from the right atrial appendages of 104 consecutive patients subjected to coronary artery bypass surgery. Two trabeculae from each patient were studied simultaneously and exposed to 60 min of hypoxia with subsequent 60 min of reoxygenation. Remifentanil (5 μM or 50 μM) or sufentanil (40 μM or 400 μM) was used from the time of reoxygenation. Trabeculae contractility was assessed as the maximal amplitude of the contraction at baseline, after 60 min of hypoxia, during reoxygenation, and after norepinephrine application. RESULTS During reperfusion, the application of remifentanil improved cardiomyocytes' function as compared to the control group (time from reperfusion: 15 min: 39.8% vs. 21.7%, p = 0.01; 30 min: 41.4% vs. 21.8%, p = 0.01; 60 min: 42.7% vs. 26.9%, p = 0.04; after norepinephrine: 64.7% vs. 43.2%, p = 0.03). The application of sufentanil did not influence cardiomyocyte function as can be seen when comparing the results of the experimental and control group. CONCLUSIONS Remifentanil, but not sufentanil, induces a cardioprotective effect on human right atria muscle in in vitro conditions, manifested as the increased amplitude of their contraction during reperfusion after 60 min of ischemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remimazolam is a new short-duration anesthetic currently used for gastroscopy and can be mixed with propofol and potent opioids. AIM The study aimed to investigate the synergistic interaction between remimazolam and propofol after sufentanil administration and to determine the appropriate dose ratios between remimazolam and propofol. METHOD This study used a randomized controlled design. Patients scheduled for gastrointestinal endoscopy were included and randomized into five groups. The randomized block design was applied at a randomization ratio of 1:1. Patients in each group received sufentanil (0.1 μg/kg) and the calculated doses of remimazolam and propofol. Using the up and down method, the median effective dose (ED50) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were determined based on whether the eyelash reflex disappeared in each treatment group. Isobolographic analysis was used to analyze the presence of drug interactions. The interaction coefficient and the dose ratio between remimazolam and propofol were calculated by algebraic analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using interval estimates and 95% CI for statistical attributes. RESULTS Cross-sectional analysis of the isobologram showed a clinically significant synergistic effect between remimazolam and propofol. When 0.016, 0.032, and 0.047 mg/kg of remimazolam were combined with 0.477, 0.221, and 0.131 mg/kg of propofol, the interaction coefficients were 1.04, 1.21, and 1.06, respectively. The dose ratio of remimazolam to propofol was approximately 1:7. CONCLUSION Remimazolam and propofol have synergistic clinical effects. A strong synergistic effect was observed when the remimazolam and propofol dose ratio was 1:7 (mg/kg). CLINICAL TRIAL The study protocol was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100052425).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Spinal infusions of either fentanyl or sufentanil have been reported in international reports, articles, and scientific events worldwide. This study aimed to determine whether intrathecal fentanyl or sufentanil offers safety in mortality and perioperative adverse events. METHODS MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, CENTRAL (Cochrane library databases), gray literature, hand-searching, and clinicaltrials.gov were systematically searched. Randomized controlled trials with no language, data, or status restrictions were included, comparing the effectiveness and safety of adding spinal lipophilic opioid to local anesthetics (LAs). Data were pooled using the random-effects models or fixed-effect models based on heterogeneity. RESULTS The initial search retrieved 4469 records; 3241 records were eligible, and 3152 articles were excluded after reading titles and abstracts, with a high agreement rate (98.6%). After reading the full texts, 76 articles remained. Spinal fentanyl and sufentanil significantly reduced postoperative pain and opioid consumption, increased analgesia and pruritus. Fentanyl, but not sufentanil, significantly reduced both postoperative nausea and vomiting, and postoperative shivering; compared to LAs alone. The analyzed studies did not report any case of in-hospital mortality related to spinal lipophilic opioids. The rate of respiratory depression was 0.7% and 0.8% when spinal fentanyl or sufentanil was added and when it was not, respectively. Episodes of respiratory depression were rare, uneventful, occurred intraoperatively, and were easily manageable. CONCLUSION There is moderate to high quality certainty that there is evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of adding lipophilic opioids to LAs in spinal anesthesia.

Abstract
Objective To compare the efficacy and side effects of sufentanil and morphine titration for patient-controlled subcutaneous analgesia (PCSA) in severe advanced cancer pain management. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the patients who were treated by two cancer centers with PCSA for severe advanced cancer pain at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University and Baoding No.1 Hospital between 2018 and 2021. These patients were divided into a sufentanil group and a morphine group. The drug dosage of the two groups was recorded. The pain intensity, sleep quality and adverse event rate (AER) were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Result PCSA was successful in 95.2% (120/126) of the patients. In all cases, titration was successful within 24 hour, followed by oral administration of sustained-release opioid medications at 208.4 ±75.1 mg in the sufentanil group and at 207.9±66.3 mg in the morphine group. There was a significant difference in pain intensity and sleep quality before and after titration (P <0.05). Both groups exhibited a decline in their heart rates during titration. Compared with the baselines before titration, the mean heart rates were significantly reduced in both groups (P <0.05). The sufentanil group had an AER lower than that of the morphine group. Conclusion Short-term use of sufentanil supports PCSA for patients with severe advanced cancer pain can achieve effective and rapid pain management, it is worth clinical implementation and application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sufentanil combined with parecoxib sodium is a commonly used postoperative medication for cancer patients. However, the effects of this combination therapy on human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer cells have still remained elusive. This study aimed to investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of sufentanil combined with parecoxib sodium on HER2-positive breast cancer cells. METHODS The cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, flow cytometry, scratch, transwell invasion, and angiogenesis assays were used to assess the proliferation, cell cycling, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of HER2-positive breast cancer BT474 cells. Western blot assay was employed for detecting the expression levels of proteins involved in the cell cycle, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The in vivo effects of tumor growth and metastasis were examined by establishing an orthotopic transplantation mouse model of HER2-positive breast cancer (MMTV-PyMT). RESULTS Functional assays indicated that sufentanil combined with parecoxib sodium induced blockade of HER2-positive breast cancer BT474 cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and inhibited cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and invasion in vitro. Western blot assay revealed that sufentanil combined with parecoxib sodium downregulated the expression levels of cyclin D1, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), and EMT-related proteins (N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail), while up-regulated the expression level of E-cadherin in BT474 cells. In addition, it was found that sufentanil combined with parecoxib sodium inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in the orthotopic transplantation mouse model of HER2-positive breast cancer. CONCLUSION Sufentanil combined with parecoxib sodium inhibited HER2-positive breast cancer progression, including cell proliferation, cell cycle, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis, and regulated EMT.

Abstract
Background: The opioid receptors related to analgesia are mainly μ recipient, the μ receptor has a two-way mode of action: manifested by opioid analgesics and μ1 Receptor binding produces the desired analgesic effect, and μ2 Receptor binding may cause respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting and other adverse reactions. Nalmefene is an opioid receptor antagonist. Low dose Nalmefene has priority over μ2 Receptor binding makes opioid analgesics turn more to μ1 receptor binding, which is reversed μ2 Receptor mediated nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression and other adverse reactions, but does not reverse the analgesic effect. We assume that sufentanil combined with nalmefene could reduce respiratory adverse events in the patients who underwent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty during recovery. Methods: Patients with UPPP under general anesthesia were selected, and divided into control group (group C) and nalmefene group (group N) randomly. Patients in group N received sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg and nalmefene hydrochloride 0.25μg/kg at the end of the operation. Additionally, patients in group C received sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg at the end of the operation. The heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were observed and recorded before operation, immediately after extubation, and 5 min after extubation. The breathing recovery time, tracheal extubation time, consciousness score (Ramsay score、sedation-agitation scale (SAS)) and visual analog score (VAS) were carefully recorded at 5 min after extubation, and the various adverse reactions were monitored during the recovery period. Results: Ninety-six patients were finished our study finally. The breathing recovery and extubation time of group N was significantly shorter than those of group C (P < 0.05). The Ramsay score after extubation in group N was significantly lower as compared to that in group C (P < 0.05). The sedation-agitation scale of group N was observed to be significantly higher than that of group C (P < 0.05). Moreover, the incidences of respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting during the recovery period was significantly less than those in group C (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Nalmefene combined with sufentanil can significantly reduce adverse reactions in the cases of patients after UPPP, which may be beneficial to improve the quality and safety of emergence after general anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard solutions for epidural labor analgesia include both local anesthetics and opioids. The concept of the standard epidural use of local anesthetics in labor analgesia has shifted from high concentrations to high volumes with low concentrations. However, the optimal dosage of opioids needed to initiate and maintain epidural labor analgesia in different phases during the first labor stage has rarely been studied. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to determine the optimal sufentanil dose for epidural initiation in the latent and active phases during the first stage of labor. STUDY DESIGN A prospective, double-blind, sequential dose-finding study. SETTING A Class A tertiary obstetrics and gynecology hospital. METHODS The study included 80 nulliparae with cervical dilatation of 2-4 cm and 5-6 cm, with 40 nulliparae in each group. A research dose of sufentanil combined with ropivacaine 13 mg in epidural initiation with a volume of 15 mL was administered to the puerperant. A 1-microgram sufentanil dose and a 2.5-micrograms sufentanil dose were used for the first puerperant of each group. The dose of sufentanil for the subsequent puerperant was determined by the response of the previous puerperant according to the biased coin up-and-down design in each trial. The primary outcome was a visual analog scale score of <= 3 at 15, 30, and 45 minutes after epidural administration, including the given dose of sufentanil. According to the response of each puerperant, the 90% effective doses and their 95% confidence intervals were estimated by isotonic regression and bootstrapping according to the response of each puerperant. RESULTS The 90% effective doses of sufentanil for puerperants were 1.91 micrograms (95% confidence intervals 1.82-2.35 micrograms) and 4.90 micrograms (95% confidence intervals 4.82-5.35 micrograms) in epidural initiation in the latent and active phases, respectively. The 90% effective doses were 62.5% (95% confidence intervals 50.8-64.0%) lower in the latent phase than that in the active phase during the first stage of labor. LIMITATIONS Both spontaneous labor and induced labor were included in this study, and the degree of pain in these 2 types of labor is different. Further, only nulliparae were recruited in the study. CONCLUSIONS Different sufentanil doses should be adopted in epidural initiation in different phases during the first stage of labor due to the large differences in the demand for sufentanil.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction is one of the common complications of surgery, especially after surgery for a thoracolumbar spinal fracture. Intravenous lidocaine is a potential method to improve postoperative gastrointestinal function in surgical patients, reduce opioid use and shorten hospital stays. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of intravenous lidocaine on the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients after thoracolumbar surgery. METHODS In this study, 48 eligible patients undergoing elective thoracolumbar spine fractures resection and internal fixation surgery were enrolled to receive intravenous injections of lidocaine in different concentrations during the perioperative period. Patients were randomly divided into three groups: control group (group A), low concentration of lidocaine group (group B) and high concentration of lidocaine group (group C), 16 patients in each group. First postoperative exhaust time, numbers of bowel sound at preoperative and postoperative 3, 6, 12, 24 h, pain scores at postoperative 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 h, total sufentanil use in PACU and perioperative periods, postoperative hospital stay and analgesic remedy within postoperative 48 h were recorded and compared. The primary endpoints include: the time of first flatus passage after the operation, the number of bowel sounds per minute counted with stethoscope at 30 min before anesthesia induction and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 h postoperative. The secondary endpoints included: the pain scores at PACU (after entering into PACU), 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h postoperative, the amount of sufentanil administrated by intravenous push during operation and the numbers of patients needed rescuing sufentanil in PACU, and the numbers of patients needed administration of gastric motility drugs or non-steroidal analgesics at ward within 48 h postoperation, length of hospital stay (from the first day after surgery to discharge from hospital) and the incidence of adverse reactions. RESULTS Compared with group A, the first postoperative exhaust time in group B and C occurred much earlier (23.3 ± 11.0 h vs. 16.0 ± 6.6 h, 16.6 ± 5.1 h, P < 0.05). Compared with preoperation, the numbers of bowel sound significantly increased at 24 h postoperatively in group B, while group B at 6 h and group C at 6 and 24 h postoperatively had significantly more active bowel sounds compared to group A (P < 0.05). There were no remarkable differences in VAS scores within 12 h postoperatively among three groups, and however, significantly lower VAS scores were found at 12, 24 and 48 h postoperatively in group C when comparing to Group A (p < 0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of postoperative flatulence and nausea and vomiting, the number of patients needed rescuing sufentanil in PACU, the length of postoperative hospital stay and the number of patients requiring non-steroidal analgesics at ward within 48 h postoperation. CONCLUSIONS Intravenous lidocaine infusion together with patient-controlled analgesia of sufentanil expedited the early recovery of gastrointestinal function and improved analgesic quality of sefentanyl in patients undergoing thoracolumbar surgeries.

Abstract
Background Delivery pain is the most unbearable pain and can be relieved with intrathecal opioids. This study aimed to investigate the effect of intrathecal sufentanil for painless delivery on labor progress and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women. Methods This was a single-arm observational cohort study on 1055 pregnant women candidates for vaginal delivery with spinal analgesia referred to the Akbarabadi Hospital. First, 0.1 µg/kg of intrathecal sufentanil was used, and maternal blood pressure and maternal and fetal heart rates were recorded after analgesia. During delivery, the mothers were monitored for nausea, pruritus, motor block, apnea, urinary retention, or the possibility of an emergency cesarean section. The duration of the analgesia, the duration of the second stages of labor, and the mother's pain scores were recorded based on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). 1- and 5-minute Apgar scores and arterial blood gas (ABG) of the umbilical cord were also recorded. Results The most common station was -3 for 723 women, followed by -2 for 229 women. Fifty-two women underwent cesarean section, and fetal distress was the most common reason for cesarean section (57.7%). The mean time for initiating analgesia was 5.93 ± 2.87 minutes, and the mean visual analog scale was 1.08 ± 0.16. The mean Apgar was 9.0 ± 0.47; the mean weight at birth was 2917.39 ± 449.90 gr; PH was 7.31 ± 2.03; HCO3 was 22.67 ± 3.08mEq/liter, and PaCo2 was 43.36 ± 7.06 mmHg. Regarding complications, the patients just developed itching (n = 78), and hypotension, bradycardia, apnea, and decreased consciousness were overlooked. Conclusions Intrathecal sufentanil is safe and efficient in painless delivery, resulting in normal Apgar and normal PH with no specific side-effect.

Abstract
Backgrounds Hyperlactatemia is a common metabolic disorder after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Epinephrine use has been identified as a potential cause of increased lactate levels after cardiac surgery. Stress can lead to an increase in catecholamines, mainly epinephrine, in the body. Exogenous epinephrine causes hyperlactatemia, whereas endogenous epinephrine released by stress may have the same effect. Opioids are the most effective anesthetics to suppress the stress response in the body. The authors sought to provide evidence through a retrospective data analysis that helps investigate the relationship between intraoperative opioid dosage and postoperative lactic acidosis after cardiac surgery.
Methods The clinical data of 215 patients who underwent valvular heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass from July 2016 to July 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Blood lactate levels were measured at 0.1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 8 h after surgery. Patients with continuous increases in lactate levels and lactate levels exceeding 5 mmol/L at two or more time points were included in the lactic acidosis group, whereas the other patients were included in the control group. First, univariate correlation analysis was used to identify parameters that were significantly different between the two groups, and then multivariate regression analysis was conducted to elucidate the independent risk factors for lactic acidosis. Fifty-one pairs of patients were screened by propensity score matching analysis (PSM). Then, lactic acid levels at four time points in both groups were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. Results he EF (heart ejection fraction) (OR = 0.94, P = 0.003), aortic occlusion time (OR = 10.17, P < 0.001) and relative infusion rate (OR = 2.23, P = 0.01) of sufentanil was an independent risk factor for lactic acidosis after valvular heart surgery. The patients were further divided into two groups with the mean sufentanil infusion rate as the reference point. The data were filtered with PSM (Propensity Score Matching). Lactic acid values in both groups peaked at 4 h after surgery and then declined. The rate of lactic acid decline was significantly faster in the group with a higher sufentanil dosage than in the lower group. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was also a significant difference in lactic acid levels at the four time points (0.1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 8 h after surgery) in both groups (P < 0.001). Conclusion The inadequate intraoperative infusion rate of sufentanil is an independent risk factor for lactic acidosis after heart valve surgery. The possibility of lactic acidosis caused by this factor after cardiac surgery should be considered, which is helpful for postoperative patient management.

Abstract
RATIONALE Rapidly evolving e-cigarette technology developed for self-administering nicotine aerosol has the potential to be utilized to self-administer other aerosolized drugs of abuse. Rodent models which mirror characteristics of human e-cigarette use are necessary to explore the degree to which this may be a public health concern. OBJECTIVES Our goal was to develop a highly translational model of discrete nose-only aerosol puff drug delivery to explore the reinforcing effects of fentanyl and sufentanil aerosols in rats. METHODS Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to perform a multiple schedule FR1 lever-press, 4-s (second) nose hold operant during which the subject's orofacial areas were exposed to drug-free glycerol/propylene glycol aerosol produced by a commercial e-cigarette at a power setting of 18 watts. Each completed 4-s drug-free vehicle aerosol exposure resulted in a 3-s presentation of a 0.1-ml dipper of sweetened milk solution. After training, rats were then allowed to self-administer 4-s nose-only puffs of fentanyl (100-6000 µg/ml) or sufentanil (30-500 µg/ml) aerosol in the absence of paired milk dipper reinforcers. RESULTS All 31 rats learned the lever-press/nose-poke multiple schedule for milk dippers alone and 25 accepted exposure to 4 s of 18 watts of drug-free vehicle aerosol when paired with milk dipper presentations. In the absence of paired milk dipper presentations, fentanyl aerosol puffs at concentrations of 1000 and 3000 µg/ml as well as 100 µg/ml puffs of sufentanil served as reinforcers compared to both air puffs and drug-free vehicle aerosol puffs. There were no significant differences between males and females in number of fentanyl or sufentanil puffs self-administered. CONCLUSIONS Discrete nose-only puffs of two potent opioids under exposure conditions comparable to puff durations in human e-cigarette users serve as reinforcers in rats. This outcome suggests that under appropriate conditions e-cigarettes might be a potential alternative delivery mechanism for illicit opioids.

Abstract
Background and objectives To date, programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) has been widely used in obstetric analgesia, while no optimal PIEB regimen has been proposed. This study aimed to assess effective analgesia in 90% of women (EV90) with different concentrations of ropivacaine (0.075% and 0.1%) combined with 0.5 µg/mL sufentanil, at an interval of 40 min using the biased coin design-up-and-down method (BCD-UDM), and to explore whether there is a difference in EV90 with the increase of ropivacaine concentration. Methods In total, 103 primiparous women were assigned to two groups, including group A (n = 52) and group B (n = 51). Parturients in group A were treated with 0.075% ropivacaine and 0.5 µg/mL sufentanil, while those in group B were treated with 0.1% ropivacaine and 0.5 µg/mL sufentanil. Used the biased coin up-and-down sequential allocation method to determine the EV90. The secondary outcomes were sensory block level, motor block, and adverse events (hypotension, urinary retention, and pruritus). Results The results revealed that EV90 was 10 mL (95% confidence interval (CI):8.03–11.54) in group A, and EV90 was 9 mL (95% CI:7.49–10.51) in group B by the isotonic regression method. The highest level of the sensory block was T8, and the lowest was T12. No case of hypotension was recorded,and only 4 parturients complained of motor block. Conclusion With an interval of 40 min, the optimal PIEB bolus volume of 0.075% ropivacaine and 0.5 µg/mL sufentanil was 10 mL, 0.1% ropivacaine and 0.5 µg/mL sufentanil was 9 mL. Moreover, the PIEB volume decreased along with the higher concentration of ropivacaine. Trial registration ChiCTR registration number: ChiCTR2000040917. Registration date: December 15, 2020.

Abstract
Background Laryngeal mask airway(LMA) have been widely used in clinical practice. Irritation to the patient during the insertion of a laryngeal mask can cause hemodynamic fluctuations, which is particularly unsafe for geriatric patients. We used probit regression analysis to determine the median effective dose of sufentanil to inhibit the response to LMA insertion in geriatric patients. Methods A total of 90 patients were selected for the study using the following inclusion criteria: age ≥ 65 years old, ASA grade I–III, and scheduled to undergo intravenous general anesthesia with LMA insertion. Each patient received a dose of sufentanil for anesthesia induction in one of six levels: 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, or 0.3 μg kg−1. LMA insertion was scored with a 3-point, 6-category scale, with scores ≥ 16 indicating effective LMA insertion, and < 16 indicating ineffective LMA insertion. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and bispectral index (BIS) were recorded 1 min before induction (T1), 1 min after induction (T2), 1 min after LMA insertion (T3), and 5 min after LMA insertion (T4) in each group. In addition, the plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels and adverse reactions were measured at T2 and T3 in each dosage group. Results Probit regression analysis showed that the ED50 of sufentanil inhibiting the response to LMA insertion in geriatric patients was 0.18 μg kg−1 (95% CI: 0.16–0.21 μg kg−1), and the ED95 was 0.31 μg kg−1 (95% CI: 0.27–0.38 μg kg−1), and the probit(p) = -2.34 + 12.90 × ln(Dose)(\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Among all the patients, the number of effective LMA insertions was 57 (group A), and the number of ineffective LMA insertions was 33 (group B). The MAP, HR, and NE in group B were significantly higher than in group A at T3. Conclusions Sufentanil can effectively inhibit the patient’s response to LMA insertion, with stable hemodynamics and small stress response. The ED50 and ED95 were 0.18 μg kg−1 (95% CI: 0.16–0.21 μg kg−1) and 0.31 μg kg−1(95% CI: 0.27–0.38 μg kg−1), respectively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sufentanil is used with ropivacaine in labor pain management but it can have respiratory depression. Dexmedetomidine is effective to maintain hemodynamic stability in parturient women and allow awake intubation. However, dexmedetomidine is suggested only in patients with major cardiovascular disease that mandates stable hemodynamics (Reference ID: 3987541-USFDA). The objective of the study was to compare different doses of ropivacaine either with sufentanil or with dexmedetomidine for epidural anesthesia regarding labor pain management. METHODS Parturient women have received 0.125% ropivacaine with 0.5-μg/mL sufentanil (SR1 cohort, n = 115), or 0.08% ropivacaine with 0.5-μg/mL sufentanil (SR2 cohort, n = 109), or 0.125% ropivacaine with 0.5-μg/mL dexmedetomidine (DR1 cohort, n = 124), or 0.08% ropivacaine with 0.5-μg/mL dexmedetomidine (DR2 cohort, n = 135) for epidural anesthesia during vaginal delivery or cesarean section. RESULTS At 2-h postpartum, the visual analog scale score of parturient women of the DR2 cohort was fewer than that of parturient women of the SR1 (p < 0.0001, q = 4.162) and the SR2 (p < 0.0001, q = 7.568) cohorts and statistically the same as that of parturient women of the DR1 cohort (p < 0.0001, q = 3.087). Bradycardia and itching were reported in parturient women of the DR2 and the DR1 cohorts while nausea, vomiting, and urinary retention at 6 h were reported in parturient women of the SR1 and the SR2 cohorts. In the DR2 cohort, there were fewer numbers of parturient women with bradycardia (4 vs. 19, p < 0.0001, q = 6.613) and hypotension (2% vs. 1%) than those in the DR1 cohort. The child born by women of the DR2 cohort had high partial arterial pressure of oxygen than those born by women of the DR1 (p < 0.0001, q = 18.663), the SR1 (p < 0.0001, q = 29.366), and the SR2 (p < 0.0001, q = 24.039) cohorts. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Epidural 0.08% ropivacaine with 0.5-μg/mL dexmedetomidine is an effective and safe anesthetic regimen for hypertensive parturient women and their newborns. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III. Technical Efficacy Stage: 4.

Abstract
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a prevalent pregnancy disease characterized by insufficient trophoblast cell migration (HTR8/SVneo). Consequently, accelerating trophoblast cell proliferation might ameliorate PE. This study assessed the effects and molecular mechanisms of Sufentanil (SUF) on HTR8/SVneo cells proliferation. HTR8/SVneo cells and PE clinical samples were used. Peripheral blood was collected from PE patients’ samples, and microRNA (miR)-24-3p and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (HSD11B2) was analyzed in the blood and cells. HTR8/SVneo cells were treated with varying SUF concentrations or transfected with miR-24-3p mimics/inhibitors, or HSD11B2 elevation vector. CCK-8, colony formation, transwell, and flow cytometry assays were then carried out. Association of miR-24 − 3p with HSD11B2 was investigated. PE animal model was constructed using Wistar rats to verify SUF’s role on PE in vivo. According to the results, SUF boosted HTR8/SVneo cell proliferation, and inhibited miR-24-3p to accelerate HSD11B2. MiR-24-3p was increased in PE, while HSD11B2 was inhibited, and miR-24-3p targeted HSD11B2. HSD11B2 reversed miR-24-3p’s repression on HTR/SVneo cell advancement. SUF restrained PE’s progression in vivo and in vitro via mediating the miR-24-3p/HSD11B2 axis. In conclusion, SUF enhances HSD11B2 via repressing miR-24-3p, thereby suppressing PE’s progression. The study provides an insight into the possibility of using SUF as a novel therapeutic target for PE, which acts via combining with miR-24-3p.

Abstract
Background In clinical practice, sufentanil has a stronger sedative effect on patients than fentanyl at equivalent doses. This study hypothesized that, at equivalent doses, patients undergoing gynaecologic laparoscopic surgery (GLS) receiving fentanyl would have an earlier emergence from anaesthesia (EA), a shorter time to extubation (TE), and a better degree of wakefulness. Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of equipotent doses of fentanyl and sufentanil on the quality of emergence in patients undergoing GLS. Methods One hundred seven patients scheduled for GLS under general anaesthesia were randomly divided into two groups and were induced with 0.35 µg/kg sufentanil (Group S; n = 55) or 3.5 µg/kg fentanyl (Group F; n = 52). When the GLS was almost over, the patient's abdominal cavity was flushed with warm saline, and 5 µg of sufentanil or 50 µg of fentanyl in a double-blind manner was intravenously injected into the patients. The primary outcomes of the study included EA, TE, the rate of leaving the surgical bed voluntarily and the incidence of endotracheal tube tolerance. The Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS), and Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) scores at 15 and 30 min in the postanaesthesia care unit (PACU), as well as other adverse events, including nausea and vomiting, itching, delirium, dizziness, chills, and respiratory depression (SpO2 < 95%) in the PACU, were evaluated as secondary outcomes. Results There were no statistically significant dissimilarities between the two groups with respect to baseline characteristics. For recovery, the EA (9.0 ± 4.8 min vs. 8.9 ± 3.0 min; P = 0. 146), TE (9.5 ± 4.7 min vs. 9.0 ± 3.0 min; P = 0.135), rate of leaving the surgical bed voluntarily (31.18% vs. 38.46%; P = 0.976), and incidence of endotracheal tube tolerance (94.55% vs. 96.15%; P = 0.694) were not significantly different between the two groups. In the PACU, the 15-min RSS score (2.07 ± 0.38 vs. 2.15 ± 0.36; P = 0.125), the 30-min RSS score (2.02 ± 0.13 vs. 2.04 ± 0.19; P = 0.207), the 15-min VRS score (0.50 ± 0.57 vs. 0.67 ± 0.55; P = 0.295), and the 30-min VRS score (0.45 ± 0.50 vs. 0.75 ± 0.52; P = 0.102) were not significantly different between Groups S and F. No adverse events, such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus, delirium, and tremors, occurred in either group. The rates of respiratory depression (1.82% vs. 1.92%; P = 0.968) and dizziness (0.00% vs. 4.85%; P = 0.142) were not different between Groups S and F in the PACU. Conclusions The majority of patients scheduled for GLS were able to rapidly and smoothly emerge from anaesthesia. After surgery, similar outcomes, including EA, TE, the incidence of endotracheal tube tolerance, the rate of leaving the surgical bed voluntarily, RSS scores, VRS scores, and adverse events in the PACU, were achieved for the patients between the two anaesthetic protocols.

Abstract
Background To investigated the effects of sufentanil in combination with flurbiprofen axetil and dexmedetomidine for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) on patients after open gastrointestinal tumor surgery, and compared this combination with traditional PCIA with pure opioids or epidural analgesia (PCEA). Methods Patients (n = 640) who underwent open gastrointestinal tumor surgery and received patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) were included. According to the type of PCA, patients were assigned to three groups: MPCIA (PCIA with sufentanil, flurbiprofen axetil, dexmedetomidine and metoclopramide), OPCIA (PCIA with sufentanil, tramadol and metoclopramide) and PCEA group (PCEA with sufentanil and ropivacaine). The characteristics of patients, intraoperative use of analgesics, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS), postoperative adverse reactions and postoperative recovery were collected. The primary outcome was postoperative VAS score. One-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Fisher exact probability method, and binary logistic regression analysis were used for analysis. Results There were no significant differences in the characteristics of patients, operation time, tumor site and the use of postoperative rescue analgesics among the groups. In the first two days after open gastrointestinal tumor surgery, the VAS (expressed by median and interquartile range) of MPCIA (24th h, resting: 1,1; movement: 3,2. 48th h, resting: 0,1; movement: 2,1.) and PCEA (24th h, resting: 0,1; movement: 2,1. 48th h, resting: 0,1; movement: 2,2.) groups were significantly lower than those of OPCIA group (24th h, resting: 2.5,2; movement: 4,2. 48th h, resting: 1.5,1.75; movement: 3,1.) (all p < 0.01). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in MPCIA group was 13.6% on the first day after surgery, which was significantly higher than that in PCEA group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of other postoperative adverse events. Higher intraoperative sufentanil dosage (OR (95%CI) = 1.017 (1.002–1.031), p = 0.021), lower body mass index (OR (95%CI) = 2.081 (1.059–4.089), p = 0.033), and tumor location above duodenum (OR (95%CI) = 2.280 (1.445–3.596), p < 0.001) were associated with poor postoperative analgesia. Conclusions The analgesic effects of PCIA with sufentanil in combination with flurbiprofen axetil and dexmedetomidine on postoperative analgesia was better than that of traditional pure opioids PCIA, and similar with that of PCEA.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common malignancy and leading cause of cancer-related death. Sufentanil is a commonly used opioid anesthetic in clinics. This study aimed to explore the effects of sufentanil on the malignant behavior of lung cancer cells. H460 and H1299 lung cancer cell lines were selected for in vitro experiments. The MTT assay was conducted to detect cell viability. Proliferation ability was determined by colony formation and EdU assays. Transwell assays were performed to measure migration and invasion abilities. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of related proteins. LiCl was used to activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Sufentanil decreased the proliferation, migration, and invasion of H460 and H1299 cells. The protein expression levels of vimentin, N-cadherin, β-catenin, c-Myc, and MMP2 were downregulated, while those of E-cadherin and ZO-1 were upregulated after sufentanil treatment. LiCl treatment reversed the effects of sufentanil on H460 and H1299 cells. Sufentanil inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of lung cancer cells by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sedation during endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) poses many challenges and moderate-to-deep sedation are often required. The conventional method to preform moderate-to-deep sedation is generally intravenous benzodiazepine alone or in combination with opioids. However, this combination has some limitations. Intranasal medication delivery may be an alternative to this sedation regimen.
AIM To determine, by continual reassessment method (CRM), the minimal effective dose of intranasal sufentanil (SUF) when combined with intranasal dexmedetomidine (DEX) for moderate sedation of EUS in at least 95% of patients (ED95).
METHODS Thirty patients aged 18-65 and scheduled for EUS were recruited in this study. Subjects received intranasal DEX and SUF for sedation. The dose of DEX (1 μg/kg) was fixed, while the dose of SUF was assigned sequentially to the subjects using CRM to determine ED95. The sedation status was assessed by modified observer’s assessment of alertness/sedation (MOAA/S) score. The adverse events and the satisfaction scores of patients and endoscopists were recorded.
RESULTS The ED95 was intranasal 0.3 μg/kg SUF when combined with intranasal 1 μg/kg DEX, with an estimated probability of successful moderate sedation for EUS of 94.9% (95% confidence interval: 88.1%-98.9%). When combined with intranasal 1 μg/kg DEX, probabilities of successful moderate sedation at each dose level of intranasal SUF were as follows: 0 μg/kg SUF, 52.8%; 0.1 μg/kg SUF, 75.4%; 0.2 μg/kg SUF, 89.9%; 0.3 μg/kg SUF, 94.9%; 0.4 μg/kg SUF, 98.0%; 0.5 μg/kg SUF, 99.0%.
CONCLUSION The ED95 needed for moderate sedation for EUS is intranasal 0.3 μg/kg SUF when combined with intranasal 1 μg/kg DEX, based on CRM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Painless gastroscopy is carried out under general anesthesia, with advantages of painlessness, short time, and safety. Advanced analgesia has been advocated in recent years, and analgesia program, such as ketorolac ammonia buttriol, has a strong analgesic effect, can reduce the central sensitization caused by the introduction of harmful stimulus, and relieve acute and chronic pain, which is especially suitable for perioperative analgesia.
AIM To investigate the efficacy of different doses of sufentanil combined with ketorolac tromethamine for painless gastroscopy in elderly obese patients and its influence on neurocognitive disorders.
METHODS A total of 163 elderly obese who would undergo painless gastroscopy at our hospital from March 2019 to March 2021 were randomly divided into group A (n = 55), group B (n = 54), and group C (n = 54), and they were given low-dose sufentanil + ketorolac tromethamine, medium-dose sufentanil + ketorolac tromethamine, and high-dose sufentanil + ketorolac tromethamine, respectively. Vital signs [mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR)], Ramsay sedation score, visual analog scale (VAS) score, mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score, anesthesia-related indicators (anesthesia onset time, painless gastroscopy, recovery time, and anesthesia recovery time), satisfaction, and adverse reactions were compared among the three groups.
RESULTS At the time of inserting gastroscope (T2) and the time of gastroscope entering the opening of the duodenal papilla (T3), the MAP in group A was lower than that of groups B and C, and HR was higher than that of groups B and C (P < 0.05); there was no statistical difference in MAP or HR between groups B and C at T2 and T3. The BIS value of group A was lower than those of group B and group C (P < 0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in the BIS value between group B and group C during the examination (P > 0.05). The VAS score of group A after waking up was higher than those of group B and group C (P < 0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in VAS score between group B and group C after waking up (P > 0.05). The MMSE scores in groups A and B after waking up were higher than that of group C (P < 0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in MMSE score between group A and group B (P > 0.05). Anesthesia onset time, painless gastroscopy, awakening time, and anesthesia recovery time were shorter in group B than in group A and group C (P < 0.05). The incidence of severe apnea events in group A and group B were lower than that of group C (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Sufentanil 0.15 μg/kg combined with ketorolac tromethamine can stabilize vital signs, relieve pain, reduce severe apnea events, shorten anesthesia recovery time, and be effective in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy in elderly obese patients, with minimal impact on neurocognitive disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dexmedetomidine had sedative and analgesic effects and did not produce significant respiratory depression at therapeutic doses. AIMS To compare the sedative and analgesic effects and safety of dexmedetomidine combined with remifentanil or sufentanil in patients undergoing liposuction. METHODS A total of 100 subjects were randomized 1:1 to two groups: Group R and Group S. First, patients were administered midazolam 0.02 mg·kg-1. Anesthesia was induced with an intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 1 µg kg-1 (15 min) and remifentanil 0.1 µg kg-1 min-1 (Group R) or sufentanil 0.1 µg kg-1h-1 (Group S). Anesthesia was maintained with an intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 1.0 µg kg-1h-1, midazolam 0.015 mg kg-1h-1, remifentanil 0.1 µg kg-1min-1 (Group R), or sufentanil 0.1 µg kg-1h-1 (Group S). Hemodynamic and respiratory changes, modified OAA/S score and BIS values, postoperative Visual Analogue Scale pain scores, satisfaction of the patient and surgical team with the procedure, and adverse events and recovery time were recorded. RESULTS Group R received significantly less midazolam and midazolam per hour compared to Group S (Group R vs. Group S: 3.4 ± 1.7 mg vs. 5.1 ± 2.0 mg, P < 0.0001; 1.5 ± 0.7 mg/h vs. 1.9 ± 0.6 mg/h, P = 0.002). The incidence of physical or verbal expressions of pain at the start of surgery was significantly lower in Group R compared to Group S (2 [4.3%] vs. 12 [26.7%], P = 0.003). Patient satisfaction with the procedure was significantly higher in Group R compared to Group S (3.9 ± 0.3 vs. 3.1 ± 0.3, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Dexmedetomidine-remifentanil and dexmedetomidine-sufentanil were effective and safe sedative and analgesic agents for liposuction. Hemodynamic stability was maintained. Dexmedetomidine-remifentanil might be associated with improved analgesic effects compared to dexmedetomidine-sufentanil.

Abstract
Introduction Surgical abortion is one of the commonly conducted procedures worldwide. Nevertheless, pregnant women still complain of procedural and postoperative pain despite the use of advanced anesthesia. It is vital to women’s reproductive healthcare to improve postsurgical pain management to achieve the lowest level of pain. Methods This randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled clinical trial compared the analgesic effects between nalbuphine and sufentanil in patients who underwent first-trimester surgical abortion. In total, 224 patients were allocated randomly into (a) the sufentanil group that received sufentanil (0.1 ug/kg) combined propofol, and (b) the nalbuphine group that received nalbuphine (0.1 mg/kg) combined propofol. Postoperative pain scores, propofol injection pain, intraoperative analgesic effect, adverse events, and degree of satisfaction were recorded as outcome measures. Results The pain scores in the nalbuphine group were lower than those in the sufentanil group at 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, and 6 h after surgical abortion. In addition, the incidence and intensity of propofol injection pain were lower in the nalbuphine group. The degree of satisfaction of the patients in the nalbuphine group was higher than that in the sufentanil group. The intraoperative analgesic effect, hemodynamic fluctuation, and adverse events were comparable between the two groups. Conclusions Nalbuphine combined with propofol is superior to sufentanil combined with propofol for first-trimester abortion surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fentanyl and its derivatives are highly utilized opioid-based analgesics provided to patients in various formulations, but this agent has also been implicated in many overdoses when misused. The evolving opioid crisis has increased pressure on the healthcare industry to monitor opioid prescriptions. Different policies and procedures implemented to contain the crisis have impacted the utilization of some opioids. OBJECTIVE A prior report identified three-fold differences between states in fentanyl use. This study explored fentanyl distribution patterns from 2010 to 2019. METHODS The amount of fentanyl base distributed from 2010 to 2019 was obtained from the Drug Enforcement Administration. Sufentanil, alfentanil, and remifentanil were also analyzed from 2010 to 2017, the most recent year reported. Prescriptions, units, and reimbursement for 2010 and 2019 were obtained from Medicaid and fentanyl prescriber specialty from Medicare Part D. RESULTS There was a 65.5% decrease in the overall milligrams of fentanyl per person distributed corrected for population. Ohio had the greatest decrease (-79.3%), while Mississippi saw the smallest (-44.5%). There was a 6.8-fold regional difference in the quantity of fentanyl distributed per person in 2010 from hospitals (South Dakota = 775.2, Alabama = 113.2 μg/person). The regional difference was also sizeable for pharmacies (6.2-fold, Mississippi = 1,025.3, Washington DC = 165.6). Medicaid reimbursement in 2019 was $165 million for over eight hundred-thousand prescriptions with the majority for generic (99.7%) and injectable (77.6%) formulations. Interventional pain management and anesthesia were over-represented, and hematology/oncology significantly under-represented for fentanyl prescriptions in Medicare. CONCLUSION The distribution of fentanyl-based substances decreased, although not uniformly, in the US over the last decade. Additionally, the most prescribed formulations of fentanyl have transitioned away from transdermal, potentially in an effort to regulate its availability. The considerable state-level disparities observed for fentanyl distribution from pharmacies and hospitals warrant further attention as there may be regional practices which are incongruent with evidence-based medicine.

Abstract
Background To observe the effect of combining dexmedetomidine with sufentanil on postoperative analgesia in children who underwent transthoracic device closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) with ultrafast track anesthesia. Methods This was a retrospective study. Eighty-seven children who underwent transthoracic device closure of VSDs were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups based on the different drugs used for postoperative patient-controlled analgesia. Results No statistically significant differences in hemodynamic parameters were noted among the three groups after surgery (p > 0.05). The FLACC score in the SD2 group was significantly greater than those in the S groups and SD1 groups after surgery (p < 0.001). The Ramsay score in the S group was significantly lower than that of the SD1 and SD2 groups at 6 h (p < 0.001 and p = 0.003), 12 h (p = 0.002 and p = 0.012), and 24 h (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001) after surgery. The pressing frequency of the analgesic pump 48 h after the operation in the SD2 group was significantly greater than that in the other two groups (p < 0.05). The incidences of respiratory depression, nausea, and vomiting in the S group were significantly greater than those in the SD1 and SD2 groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion The combination of 0.04 μg/kg/h dexmedetomidine and 0.04 μg/kg/h sufentanil intravenous analgesia was more effective than the other two analgesic strategies in children who underwent transthoracic device closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) with ultrafast track anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Open cardiac surgical patients may experience severe acute poststernotomy pain. The ultrasound-guided Pecto-intercostal Fascial Block (PIFB) can cover anterior branches of intercostal nerves from T2 to T6. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bilateral PIFB in patients undergoing open cardiac surgery. METHODS A group of 108 patients were randomly allocated to either receive bilateral PIFB (PIFB group) or no nerve block (SALI group). The primary endpoint was postoperative pain. The secondary outcome measures included intraoperative and postoperative sufentanil and parecoxib consumption, time to extubation, time to first feces, length of stay in the ICU and the length of hospital stay. Insulin, glucose, insulin resistance and interleukin (IL)-6 at 1, 2, 3 days after surgery were mearsured. The homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) was used to measure perioperative insulin resistance. RESULTS The PIFB group reported significantly less sufentanil and parecoxib consumption than the SALI group. Compared to the PIFB group, the SALI group had higher Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores at 24 h after operation both at rest and during coughing. The time to extubation, length of stay in the ICU and length of hospital stay were significantly decreased in the PIFB group compared with the SALI group. The PIFB group had a lower insulin, glucose, IL-6, HOMA-IR level than the SALI group 3 days after surgery. CONCLUSION Bilateral PIFB provides effective analgesia and accelerates recovery in patients undergoing open cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Ulinastatin is a broad-spectrum protease inhibitor widely used for the treatment of various inflammation-related diseases owing to its recognized excellent anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties. However, whether ulinastatin can relieve postoperative pain remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the analgesic effects of ulinastatin administered either as a single agent or in combination with sufentanil in a validated preclinical rat model of postoperative pain induced by plantar incision. We found that incisional surgery on the hind paw of these rats induced sustained ipsilateral mechanical pain hypersensitivity that lasted for at least 10 days. A single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of ulinastatin prevented the development and reversed the maintenance of incision-induced mechanical pain hypersensitivity in a dose-dependent manner. However, ulinastatin had no effect on the baseline nociceptive threshold. Moreover, repeated i.p. injections of ulinastatin persistently attenuated incision-induced mechanical pain hypersensitivity and promoted recovery from the surgery. The rats did not develop any analgesic tolerance over the course of repeated injections of ulinastatin. A single i.p. injection of ulinastatin was also sufficient to inhibit the initiation and maintenance of incision-induced hyperalgesic priming when the rats were subsequently challenged with an ipsilateral intraplantar prostaglandin E2 injection. Furthermore, the combined administration of ulinastatin and sufentanil significantly enhanced the analgesic effect of sufentanil on postoperative pain, which involved mechanisms other than a direct influence on opioid receptors. These findings demonstrated that ulinastatin had a significant analgesic effect on postoperative pain and might be a novel pharmacotherapeutic agent for managing postoperative pain either alone or as an adjuvant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sufentanil is a potent synthetic opioid used for analgesia in neonates; however, data concerning drug disposition of sufentanil and dosage regimen are sparse in this population. Therefore, the aim of the study was to explore sufentanil disposition and to propose optimal loading and maintenance doses of sufentanil in ventilated full-term neonates. METHODS Individual sufentanil pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated based on therapeutic drug monitoring data using a 2-compartmental model. Linear regression models were used to explore the covariates. RESULTS The median (IQR) central volume of distribution (Vdc) and clearance (CL) for sufentanil were 4.7 (4.1-5.4) L/kg and 0.651 (0.433-0.751) L/h/kg, respectively. Linear regression models showed relationship between Vdc (L) and GA (r2 = 0.3436; p = 0.0452) as well as BW (r2 = 0.4019; p = 0.0268). Median optimal sufentanil LD and MD were 2.13 (95% CI: 1.78-2.48) μg/kg and 0.29 (95% CI: 0.22-0.37) μg/kg/h, respectively. Median daily COMFORT-B (IQR) scores ranged from 6 to 23 while no significant relationship between pharmacokinetic parameters and COMFORT-B scores was found. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Body weight and gestational age were found as weak covariates for sufentanil distribution, and the dosage regimen was developed for a prospective trial.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the efficacy of low-dose sufentanil for preventing shivering and visceral traction pain during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Methods This was a prospective, randomized, controlled study. A total of 112 full-term parturients who underwent elective caesarean delivery were randomly divided into two groups. Group R received 0.75% isobaric ropivacaine intrathecally and group RS received 0.75% isobaric ropivacaine plus 5 µg sufentanil intrathecally. Results There were no significant differences in the maximum sensory block time, motor block time, duration of the surgery, and heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and blood oxygen saturation before and 1, 5, and 10 minutes after spinal anesthesia, and at the end of the surgery between the two groups. Shivering was significantly more common in group R (n = 30) than in group RS (n = 8). The incidence of visceral traction pain in group R (46.43%) was significantly higher than that in group RS (14.29%). There was no significant difference in the newborns’ Apgar scores between the groups. Conclusion Adding low-dose sufentanil to ropivacaine can significantly reduce the incidence of shivering and visceral traction pain after spinal anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nebulized lidocaine reduced stress response for endotracheal intubation. However, the impact of novel lidocaine aerosol inhalation for intubation by ultrasonic atomizer was unclear. Hence, we designed aerosol inhalation of lidocaine by ultrasonic atomizer, to seek whether the dosage of sufentanil for intubation could be less or not. METHODS Intravenous injection of sufentanil started at 0.5 μg/kg, and sufentanil dosage was increased/decreased (step-size 0.05 μg/kg for sufentanil) using Dixon's up and down method. The observation was terminated after 8 reflexes. RESULTS The EC50 and EC95 of sufentanil with lidocaine by ultrasonic atomizer for intubation were found to be 0.232 μg/kg (95% CI: 0.187-0.270 μg/kg) and 0.447 μg/kg (95% CI: 0.364-0.703 μg/kg). 55.88% out of 34 patients showed hemodynamic index change < 20% of baseline during intubation. CONCLUSION Aerosol inhalation of lidocaine by ultrasonic atomizer reduced the dosage of sufentanil for endotracheal intubation. Lidocaine inhalation by ultrasonic atomizer for airway anesthesia with minimal dosage of sufentanil could be recommended, particularly in patients who need more stable hemodynamic changes or spontaneous respiration.
