Background: With the clinical integration of sugammadex, a selective relaxant-binding agent, the approach to reversing neuromuscular blockade is revolutionized. Despite its efficacy, sugammadex's adverse reactions range from mild symptoms to severe cases, including anaphylaxis and coagulopathy. Assessing the nature of these reactions using the Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database is vital for safe anesthetic practice.

However, renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) during surgery significantly impacts graft function. Despite unclear molecular mechanisms, no specific therapies or preventative measures are available.

Methods: We acquired literature data from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and conducted keyword and country analyses utilizing CiteSpace and R-project tools.
Results: Until November 2, 2022, a total of 3633 publications were cataloged from WoSCC.
Introduction: The relationship between BMI and early renal function recovery after kidney transplantation is important due to the rising global obesity rates.
Methods: A retrospective study on 320 patients who received allograft kidney transplantation at Guangxi Medical University Hospital explored the BMI-kidney function relationship using various statistical methods. Mendelian randomization (MR) was also employed to investigate causality.

Objective: This study examined the association between blood triglyceride (TG) levels (TLIB) and age spots (AS).
Methods: We acquired data from the Mendelian randomization (MR) Base database and evaluated the causal association between TLIB and AS.
Results: From genome-wide association studies, we selected 33 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were significantly associated with TLIB and AS.
The incidence of malignant tumors diagnosed during pregnancy is increasing, often ascribed to the recently recognized trend that many women are postponing childbirth. Although early diagnosis is optimal for both mothers and fetuses, the diagnosis of malignant tumors during pregnancy is often delayed until an advanced stage, because generalized symptoms of pregnancy and malignancy may overlap, such as shortness of breath, chest or abdominal discomfort. The study patient was 21 years old, and 31 weeks-pregnant when she was diagnosed with primary tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC).

As a form of programmed cell death, pyroptosis is proposed to play an important role in the development of ARDS. Here we investigated whether treating mice with the specific RIPK1 inhibitor Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) before mechanical ventilation could inhibit pyroptosis and alleviate lung injury in a mouse model.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute lung injury (ALI) is a pneumonic response characterized by neutrophil infiltration. Macrophage efferocytosis is the process whereby macrophages remove apoptotic cells, and is required for ALI inflammation to subside. The glycoprotein ulinastatin (UTI) has an anti-inflammatory effect during the acute stages of ALI, but its effect on efferocytosis and the subinflammatory stage of ALI is unclear.

We performed a more comprehensive meta-analysis to evaluate the protective effect of different administration routes, timing, patterns, and doses of DEX on EA in children.
Methods: The randomized controlled trials about DEX preventing EA in children were searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Sciences up to October 7, 2020.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on hemodynamics and organ protection in congenital heart disease (CHD) children who underwent open-heart surgery under cryogenic cardiopulmonary bypass.
Methods: Ninety children were randomly allocated to group C (0.9% saline 0.
Background: To compare the effects of perioperative dexmedetomidine with placebo (or other sedation) on the rate of postoperative delirium in adult patients who underwent non-cardiac surgeries.
Methods: A meta-analysis was performed on randomized, controlled trials. MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Embase (to March 20, 2019) were searched for literature retrieval.
