TREM1 promotes cancer associated malignant phenotype through activated MAPK signaling pathway and predicts poor prognosis in gastric cancer.

Background: CD molecules plays a vital role in gastric cancer (GC). We used bioinformatics analysis methods to develop prognosis related CD molecules risk signature; On the other hand, we used the experiments to further explore the function and mechanism of differentially expressed prognostic CD molecules (TREM1) in GC.

Methods: Kaplan-Meier survival and univariate Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate the overall survival of CD molecule genes in gastric cancer.

AS-IV enhances the antitumor effects of propofol in NSCLC cells by inhibiting autophagy.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most lethal malignant tumors. It has been shown that the general anesthetic agents, propofol and astragaloside IV (AS-IV) both exert antitumor effects in NSCLC. However, the effects of the combination of propofol with AS-IV in NSCLC remain unclear.

Human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cell administration protects against acute lung injury in a mouse model.

This study aims to investigate the effect of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) administration on tissue repair following acute lung injury (ALI). PMSCs were transplanted intravenously to a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI. The therapeutic effects were determined by evaluating several indicators, including pathology; the wet/dry ratio of the lungs; blood gas analysis; the total protein content, cell numbers, and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF); and the levels of anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory cytokines in serum and BALF.

NPM3 as an Unfavorable Prognostic Biomarker Involved in Oncogenic Pathways of Lung Adenocarcinoma MYC Translational Activation.

Background: The nucleoplasmin/nucleophosmin (NPM) family was previously regarded as a critical regulator during disease development, and its mediation in carcinogenesis has achieved intensive attention recently. However, the clinical importance and functional mechanism of NPM3 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have not been reported yet.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role and clinical significance of NPM3 in the development and progression of LUAD, including the underlying mechanisms.

Effects of dexmedetomidine on postoperative sleep quality: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Study Objectives: To assess the effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on postoperative sleep quality using polysomnography (PSG) to identify possible interventions for postoperative sleep disturbances.

Methods: An electronic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science was conducted from database inception to November 20, 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of DEX administration on postoperative sleep quality using PSG or its derivatives were included.

Dexmedetomidine pretreatment alleviates ropivacaine-induced neurotoxicity via the miR-10b-5p/BDNF axis.

Background: Ropivacaine is commonly applied for local anesthesia and may cause neurotoxicity. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) exhibits neuroprotective effects on multiple neurological disorders. This study investigated the mechanism of DEX pretreatment in ropivacaine-induced neurotoxicity.

Remifentanil pretreatment ameliorates H/R-induced cardiac microvascular endothelial cell dysfunction by regulating the PI3K/Akt/HIF-1α signaling pathway.

Restoration of blood supply through medical or surgical intervention is a commonly adopted method for acute myocardial ischemia, but is also a trigger for cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury. Studies have shown that remifentanil (REM) displays cardioprotective effects. In this study, the effects of REM on HCMEC viability were examined before and after the induction of H/R using Cell Counting Kit-8 assays.

Developmental and cardiac toxicities of propofol in zebrafish larvae.

Propofol, a commonly used anesthetic, is convenient to use, induces quick effect, enables rapid recovery, and is widely accessible given its stable supply. However, its adverse effects are a concern. Reportedly, propofol exhibits a significant inhibitory effect on the respiratory and circulatory systems.

Correlation of MDR1 gene polymorphism with propofol combined with remifentanil anesthesia in pediatric tonsillectomy.

The motive of this study was to investigate the interaction between polymorphisms in the MDR1 gene and anesthetic effects following pediatric tonsillectomy. In total, 240 children undergoing tonsillectomy with preoperative propofol-remifentanil anesthesia were selected. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of children after operation, and the MDR1 gene polymorphisms of 2677 G>T/A, 1236 C>T and 3435 C>T were detected by direct sequencing.

Association between MDR/CYP3A4/OPRM gene polymorphisms and the post-caesarean fentanyl analgesic effect on Chinese women.

Objective: Our study aimed to evaluate the association between the multidrug resistance 1 (MDR)/cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4)/μ-opioid receptor (OPRM) gene polymorphisms and the post-caesarean analgesic effect of fentanyl on Chinese women.

Methods: We recruited 240 patients who received lower segment caesarean section surgeries. Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the MDR1236C > T/CYP3A4*1G/OPRMA118G polymorphisms.

[Comparison of three different organ failure assessment score systems in predicting outcome of severe sepsis].

Objective: To compare multiple organ dysfunction score (MODS), the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and the logistic organ dysfunction score (LODS) in predicting hospital mortality in severe sepsis.

Methods: Four hundred and three patients admitted to the ICU from December 2004 to November 2007 with a diagnosis of severe sepsis were enrolled in this study. Their MODS, SOFA, LODS and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II at admission and the highest score during hospitalization were respectively recorded and collected in regard to mortality.
