Surgery remains the primary treatment for solid malignant tumors, but controlling postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis continues to be a major challenge. Understanding the factors that influence tumor recurrence and metastasis after surgery, as well as the underlying biological mechanisms, is critical. Previous studies suggest that anesthetic agents may increase the risk of tumor recurrence and metastasis in patients with cancer, but the mechanisms underlying these findings remain unclear.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used anticancer agent, but its clinical application is limited by significant off-target hepatorenal toxicity. Tadalafil (TAD), a selective phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor used mainly for erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension, has shown potential in reducing oxidative stress. This study investigated TAD's chemoprotective effects and underlying mechanisms in DOX-induced hepatorenal toxicity in rats over 12 days.

Smoke intoxication is a central event in mass burn incidents, and toxic smoke acts at different levels of the body, blocking breathing and oxygenation. The majority of these patients require early induction of anesthesia to preserve vital functions. We studied the influence of hemoglobin (HMG) and myoglobin (MGB) blockade by hydrochloric acid (HCl) in an interaction model with gaseous anesthetics using molecular docking techniques.

Objectives: Prolongation of cardiac repolarization, especially the heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval, is associated with life-threatening dysrhythmias. This study aimed to identify the anesthetic with the lowest risk of prolonging cardiac repolarization and provide guidance for anesthesia management in patients with cardiac diseases or long QT syndrome.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effects of anesthetics on cardiac repolarization indices were searched for in multiple databases.
