Pain and immune function in patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery following stellate ganglion block with total intravenous anesthesia.

Background: Stellate ganglion block is a commonly used sympathetic nerve block technique that restores the balance of the sympathetic and vagal nervous systems of the body and inhibits sympathetic nerve activity.

Aim: To analyze the effect of a stellate ganglion block combined with total diploma intravenous anesthesia on postoperative pain and immune function in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastric cancer (GC) surgery to provide a reference basis for the formulation of anesthesia protocols for radical GC surgery.

Methods: This study included 112 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical surgery for GC between January 2022 and March 2024.

FOXD1-AS1 promotes malignant behaviours of prostate cancer cells via the miR-3167/YWHAZ axis.

Herein, the effect of long noncoding RNA forkhead box D1 antisense RNA 1 (FOXD1-AS1) on malignant phenotypes of prostate cancer (PCa) cells was investigated. FOXD1-AS1 presented high expression in PCa cells according to the results of RT-qPCR. As shown by cell counting kit-8 assays, colony formation assays, wound-healing assays, Transwell assays and flow cytometry analyses, silenced FOXD1-AS1 suppressed PCa cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion and enhanced cell apoptosis.
