Objective: To determine the ability of interleukin 10 (IL-10) to suppress postoperative intraperitoneal adhesion formation.

Design: Randomized, controlled trial.

Setting: University animal research facility.

Animals: Six-week-old Swiss Webster mice undergoing a standardized intraperitoneal operative procedure.

Interventions: Animals were randomized to "surgery" or "no surgery" and then further randomized to receive intraperitoneal injections of 1 mL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or 1 microgram/kg IL-10 in 1 mL PBS. Vehicle-only doses were given immediately after surgery and then every 24 hours for a total of four injections. Interleukin 10 injections were similarly given but with an added preoperative injection 30 minutes before surgery in one half of the animals.

Main Outcome Measure: Adhesion formation.

Results: Animals treated with vehicle or IL-10 but not undergoing surgical intervention had no intraperitoneal adhesions. Animals undergoing surgery who were treated with IL-10, with or without a preoperative dose, had significantly lower postoperative adhesion scores than did control animals who postoperatively received PBS only.

Conclusion: Interleukin-10 is effective at limiting postoperative intraperitoneal adhesion formation with minimal evident systemic side effects.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is implicated in bioenergetics, DNA repair, and senescence. Depletion of NAD is associated with aging and neurodegenerative disease, prompting a growing interest in NAD supplementation. With rising over-the-counter use of NAD, understanding their impact on anesthetic recovery becomes essential.

Large Peritoneal Macrophages Play No Role in the Pathogenesis of Postoperative Ileus Induced by Intestinal Manipulation.

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.

Advances in cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) have improved outcomes for selected patients with peritoneal surface malignancies (PSMs). This retrospective study analyzed 743 PSM patients treated at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli from January 2016 to February 2024. The primary aim was to assess median overall survival (mOS), median disease-free survival (mDFS), and median progression-free survival (mPFS) stratified by tumor origin.
