Isoflurane and sevoflurane are volatile anesthetics (VA) widely used in clinical practice to provide general anesthesia. We and others have previously shown that VAs have immunomodulatory effects and may have a significant impact on the progression of disease states. Flagellin is a component of Gram negative bacteria and plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of bacterial pneumonia through its binding to Toll-like Receptor 5 (TLR5). Our results showed that VAs, not an intravenous anesthetic, significantly attenuated the activation of TLR5 and the release of the neutrophil chemoattractant IL-8 from lung epithelial cells. Furthermore, flagellin-induced lung injury was significantly attenuated by VAs by inhibiting neutrophil migration to the bronchoalveolar space. The lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are highly colonized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which causes inflammation. The retrospective study of oxygenation in patients with CF who had received VA versus intravenous anesthesia suggested that VAs might have the protective effect for gas exchange. To understand the interaction between VAs and TLR5, a docking simulation was performed, which indicated that isoflurane and sevoflurane docked into the binding interphase between TLR5 and flagellin.

Introduction It has been known that progesterone has central effects, as measured by minimum alveolar concentration in various experimental settings. Previously, we showed that progesterone reduces the sevoflurane requirement for the loss of righting reflex (LORR) using male mice. However, the combination of progesterone and isoflurane has not been studied.

Anesthetic gases contribute to global warming. We described a two-year performance improvement project to examine the association of individualized provider dashboard feedback of anesthetic gas carbon dioxide equivalent (CDE) production and median perioperative fresh gas flows (FGF) during general anesthetics during perioperative management. Using a custom structured query language (SQL) query, hourly CDE for each anesthetic gas and median FGF were determined.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between Bispectral Index (BIS) and age-adjusted Minimum Alveolar Concentration (aaMAC) during anesthesia maintenance in adults.
- Factors such as age, ASA status, and specific anesthetic agents were found to influence BIS readings, indicating that older patients and those given certain drugs showed higher BIS at the same aaMAC.
- A generalized estimation equation was developed to predict either BIS or aaMAC based on known values, despite significant variances in their relationship.

Background: Mice play a crucial role in studying the mechanisms of general anesthesia. However, identifying reliable EEG markers for different depths of anesthesia induced by multifarious agents remains a significant challenge. Spindle activity, typically observed during NREM sleep, reflects synchronized thalamocortical activity and is characterized by a frequency range of 7-15 Hz and a duration of 0.
