Objective: Currently, there are limited data on the effect of macrocirculatory hemodynamic changes on human microcirculation, especially during the induction of general anesthesia (GA).
Methods: We performed a non-randomized observational trial on patients receiving GA for elective surgery. In the control group (CG), for GA induction sufentanil, propofol, and rocuronium was administered. Patients assigned to the esketamine group (EG) received additional esketamine for GA induction. Invasive blood pressure (IBP) and pulse contour cardiac output (CO) measurement were performed continuously. Microcirculation was assessed using cutaneous Laser Doppler Flowmetry (forehead and sternum LDF), peripheral and central Capillary Refill Time (pCRT, cCRT), as well as brachial temperature gradient (Tskin-diff) at baseline, 5, 10 and 15 minutes after induction of GA.
Results: 42 patients were included in the analysis (CG n = 22, EG n = 20). pCRT, cCRT, Tskin-diff, forehead and sternum LDF decreased following GA induction in both groups. IBP and CO were significantly more stable in esketamine group. However, the changes in the microcirculatory parameters were not significantly different between the groups.
Conclusions: The addition of esketamine for GA induction warranted better hemodynamic stability for the first five minutes, but had no significant effect on any of the cutaneous microcirculatory parameters measured.

The liver is an organ bearing important metabolic and immune functions. Hepatocytes are the main metabolically active cells of the liver and are the target of infection by hepatotropic viruses. Virus-specific CD8 T cells are essential for the control of hepatocyte infection with hepatotropic viruses but may be subject to local regulation of their effector function.

Background/purpose: The mechanism for long-term hypoxia/ischemia induced bladder underactivity is uncertain. It requires an effectively therapeutic treatment. Therefore, we determined the pathophysiologic mechanisms of long-term bilateral partial iliac arterial occlusion (BPAO)-induced bladder underactivity and explored the therapeutic potential of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and ADSC-derived microvesicles (MVs) on BPAO-induced bladder dysfunction.

() infection promotes the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes from the gastric mucosal microcirculation through chemokine induction, leading to the excessive production of ROS. Like eukaryotes, possesses superoxide dismutase and catalase, and is resistant to ROS from host polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Oxidants such as monochloramine produced by ROS cause chronic inflammation in the gastric mucosa.

Unlabelled: The condition of gastrointestinal tract determines in many respects the regenerative capacity and the risk of complications in patients with extensive skin burns. However, the mechanism of developing vascular dysfunction in the colon in the burned individuals has so far been poorly studied. is to study intramural circulatory disorders of the colon using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) in different time periods after modeling a thermal burn.

Background: Bolus thermodilution and intravenous adenosine are established methods for coronary microcirculatory assessment. Yet, its adoption remains low, partly due to procedural time and patient discomfort associated with intravenous adenosine. We investigated differences between intracoronary and intravenous adenosine using bolus thermodilution in terms of microcirculatory indices, procedural time, and side effects associated with adenosine in patients with myocardial ischemia and nonobstructive coronary arteries.
