Resolvin E1 and Inhibition of BLT2 Signaling Attenuate the Inflammatory Response and Improve One-Lung Ventilation-Induced Lung Injury.

Introduction: One-lung ventilation (OLV) is a prevalently used technique to sustain intraoperative pulmonary function. Resolvin E1 (RvE1), a specialized pro-resolving lipid mediator, accelerates the resolution of inflammation in the lungs. However, its therapeutic effects on OLV-induced lung injury remain unclear.

Dexmedetomidine for prevention of propofol injection pain upon induction of anesthesia: a meta-analysis.

Purpose: Propofol injection pain is a very common problem during the induction of general anesthesia. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine for the prevention of propofol injection pain so as to provide evidence for future clinical applications.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar databases were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials examining the use of dexmedetomidine for the prevention of propofol injection pain.

Affinity regulation of the NH + HO system by ionic liquids with molecular interaction analysis.

This work proposed using an adequate ionic liquid (IL) to weaken the affinity between NH and HO as a potential solution to the issue of high-energy consumption involved in separating NH gas from liquid HO. Two quaternary phosphonium-based ILs were selected according to an optimized regulation strategy. The regulation effects of the ILs were evaluated by the vapor-liquid equilibrium property of the NH + HO + IL systems, and were compared with the regulation effects of traditional additives.
