A study predicting long-term survival capacity in postoperative advanced gastric cancer patients based on MAOA and subcutaneous muscle fat characteristics.

Background: The prognosis of advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is relatively poor, and long-term survival depends on timely intervention. Currently, predicting survival rates remains a hot topic. The application of radiomics and immunohistochemistry-related techniques in cancer research is increasingly widespread.

Dexmedetomidine Diminishes, but Does Not Prevent, Developmental Effects of Sevoflurane in Neonatal Rats.

Background: Sevoflurane (SEVO) increases neuronal excitation in neonatal rodent brains through alteration of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)(A) receptor signaling and increases corticosterone release. These actions may contribute to mechanisms that initiate the anesthetic's long-term neuroendocrine and neurobehavioral effects. Dexmedetomidine (DEX), a non-GABAergic α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, is likely to counteract SEVO-induced neuronal excitation.

Lipid metabolism disturbances and AMPK activation in prolonged propofol-sedated rabbits under mechanical ventilation.

Aim: To explore the mechanisms underlying the propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS), a potentially fatal complication during prolonged propofol infusion.

Methods: Male rabbits under mechanical ventilation through endotracheal intubation were divided into 3 groups (n=6 for each) that were sedated with 1% propofol (Group P), isoflurane (Group I) or isoflurane while receiving 10% intralipid (Group II), respectively. Blood biochemical parameters were collected at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30-36 h after the initiation of treatments.
