Introduction: Postoperative ileus (POI) is an iatrogenic disorder marked by temporary impaired gastrointestinal (GI) motility post-abdominal surgery. Surgical handling of the intestine activates resident macrophages (Mfs), leading to inflammatory cytokine release and leukocyte recruitment into the muscularis, which compromises intestinal contractility. The mechanisms behind this activation are unclear.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) in laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair with intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM).
Methods: A total of 139 patients scheduled for laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair with IPOM were selected and randomly assigned to either the group receiving general anesthesia combined with bilateral rectus sheath block (Group GR, 71 patients) or the group receiving general anesthesia alone (Group G, 68 patients). We monitored the patients' heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at four time points: before anesthesia induction (T1), at the start of surgery (T2), during mesh fixation (T3), and upon removal of the laryngeal mask (T4).

Background: The benefit of cytoreduction with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains uncertain. This study investigated the relationship between serum cytokines, particularly monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a key inflammatory mediator, and recurrence risk in EOC patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC.
Methods: From January 2018 to January 2023, serum cytokine levels were analyzed in 34 EOC patients (17 primary, 17 recurrent) before and after CRS/HIPEC using MILLIPLEX Magnetic Bead Panels.

Alterations in the gastric mucosal barrier, one of whose fundamental components is phosphatidylcholine (PC), may play an important role in the pathophysiology of erosive gastritis secondary to sepsis. Pentoxifylline (PTX) has been shown to reduce tissue damage in various experimental models of sepsis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PTX on gastric mucosa PC synthesis, leukocyte infiltration, arachidonic acid-related metabolites, inflammation, oxidative stress, NO, CO, and somatostatin in a rat model of LPS-induced sepsis.

Background: In patients with sepsis, platelets are activated and adhere to neutrophils, forming platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs) that lead to the development of MODS. ARDS is one of the main manifestations of septic MODS. We designed this study to explore the effects of different anti-plate therapy drugs on platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregate (PLA) formation in the early stage of septic ARDS.
