Effects of glycopyrrolate and atropine for oral secretions and perioperative hemodynamics in children undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy: a prospective, single-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.

Introduction: Glycopyrrolate is commonly researched as a preoperative medication or in conjunction with cholinesterase inhibitors to counteract the lingering muscarinic effects of non-depolarizing muscarinic agents. However, studies have yielded inconsistent results regarding the superiority of glycopyrrolate over other anti-cholinergic drugs, such as atropine, particularly its effect on heart rate, blood pressure (BP), and glandular secretions. This study aimed to evaluate the differences in perioperative oral secretions, hemodynamics, and recovery quality with glycopyrrolate versus those with atropine before anesthesia induction in children undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

[Role of the CX3CR1/ERK5 pathway in spinal microglia for the development of neuropathic pain].

Objective: To explore the role of spinal microglial CX3CR1/ERK5 pathway in the development of neuropathic pain.

Methods: The model of spinal nerve ligation (SNL) was established by ligating the L5 spinal nerve with 6-0 silk thread in male Sprague Dawley rats. The expression of activated ERK5 (p-ERK5) was examined by immunohistochemistry test.
