Background: Day surgery has developed rapidly in China in recent years, although it still faces a shortage of anesthesiologists to handle pre-anesthesia routine before surgery. We hypothesized that ChatGPT may assist anesthesia practitioners in preoperative assessment and answer questions on the concerns of patients. The aims of this study were to examine the ability of ChatGPT to assess preoperative risk and determine its accuracy in answering questions regarding knowledge and management of day surgery anesthesia.

Neuroinflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Results of our previous study demonstrated that dexmedetomidine (Dex) attenuates neuroinflammation in BV2 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by targeting the microRNA (miR)-340/NF-κB axis. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Dex improves POCD remain unclear.

It has been shown that dexmedetomidine (Dex) could attenuate postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) via targeting circular RNAs (circRNAs). Circ-Shank3 has been found to be involved in the neuroprotective effects of Dex against POCD. However, the role of circ-Shank3 in POCD remains largely unknown.

Background: Abnormal laryngeal structures are likely to be associated with a difficult laryngoscopy procedure. Currently, laryngeal structures can be measured by ultrasonography, however, little research has been performed on the potential role of ultrasound on the evaluation of a difficult laryngoscopy. The present study investigated the value of laryngeal structure measurements for predicting a difficult laryngoscopy.

Background: Dexmedetomidine (Dex) was reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory effect in the nervous system. However, the mechanism by which Dex exhibits anti-inflammation effects on LPS-stimulated BV2 microglia cells remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the role of Dex in LPS-stimulated BV2 cells.
