Postoperative pain in children leads to an immense stress response than adults, leading to an increased hospital stay and "pain memory." Caudal epidural anesthesia is one of the most reliable, popular, and safe techniques that provide proper analgesia for infra-umbilical surgeries. A combination of local anesthetics and opioids reduces the dose-related adverse effects of each drug independently.

Background: CA19-9 is a classical tumor marker and plays an important role in the diagnosis of biliary and pancreatic cancer. However, a few cases reported that the tumor maker CA19-9 is abnormally elevated in patients with calculous cholecystitis, but the relation between severity of calculous cholecystitis and serum CA19-9 level are still unknown.
Methods: Total 105 calculous cholecystitis patients from first hospital were collected and divided into high serum CA19-9 group(high group, n = 35) and normal serum CA19-9 group(normal group, n = 70).

COX inhibitors are frequently used for pain management during the perioperative period and may influence tumor progression and the tumor microenvironment by modulating inflammation and immune responses. This study investigates the effects of COX inhibitors on tumor growth and the immune microenvironment. In vivo experiments demonstrate that COX inhibitors can reduce tumor cell growth, elevate PD-L1 expression on tumor cells, and enhance the proportion of myeloid cells within the tumor immune microenvironment.
