Background: This study investigated the influence of human cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) gene polymorphism in gastric cancer (GC) patients to understand the pharmacogenomic basis for patient response to postoperative fentanyl analgesia.
Methods: The prospective study design contained 212 patients recovering from radical gastrectomy. Peripheral blood samples were collected after general anesthesia, and CYP2D6 genotypes were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. After providing adequate instructions to operate the analgesia pump, patients self-administered fentanyl via patient controlled intravenous analgesia. The cumulative amount of fentanyl self-administered and the associated adverse effects were recorded at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h postoperatively.
Results: Five patients, out of the 212 patients recruited to this study, failed to complete the study. The remaining 207 patients were classified into three groups based on their genotypes: W/W group (n=44), M/W group (n=112), and M/M group (n=51). Our results demonstrated that the cumulative amount of fentanyl consumption significantly increased in the M/M group at 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively, compared with the W/W group (p<0.05). In addition, visual analogue scale (VAS) score in the M/M group was significantly higher than the W/W group in the analepsia period after general anesthesia and at 6 h postoperatively (p<0.05). No significant adverse effects were observed in all the groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: CYP2D6 polymorphism influenced patient response to postoperative fentanyl analgesia in GC patients.

: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is associated with less postoperative pain than traditional open thoracotomy. However, trocar and chest tube placement may damage the intercostal nerves, causing significant discomfort. An ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a promising mode of pain management; this reduces the need for opioids and the associated side-effects.

Background: Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are not rare and often require an intervention at some point of time. Pediatric cardiac catheterization, a minimally invasive procedure, is performed to diagnose and to correct many cardiac abnormalities. Deep sedation with spontaneously breathing patients is the preferred technique for pediatric catheterization in the pediatric population.

Background Due to its affordability and ease of application, the subarachnoid block is the most frequently used method for lower abdominal procedures. Levobupivacaine has an onset of sensory and motor blockade comparable to that of bupivacaine and prolongs the duration of analgesia while facilitating quick recovery from motor block. Fentanyl and dexmedetomidine, when used as additives to intrathecal local anesthetic, can extend the duration of sensory and motor blockade and enhance postoperative analgesia.

Background: Postoperative visceral pain is a common complication after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In this study, we compared the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of oxycodone and fentanyl in children undergoing ERCP.
Methods: A single-center, randomized, double-blind study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
