Dexmedetomidine Pretreatment Confers Myocardial Protection and Reduces Mechanical Ventilation Duration for Patients Undergoing Cardiac Valve Replacement under Cardiopulmonary Bypass
CONCLUSION: The study suggests that 0.50 µg/kg Dex pretreatment could reduce propofol use and the duration of mechanical ventilation, and confer myocardial protection without increased adverse events during cardiac valve replacement.PMID:38684422 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.23-00210 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

In Vitro Hepatotoxicity of Routinely Used Opioids and Sedative Drugs
Curr Issues Mol Biol. 2024 Mar 30;46(4):3022-3038. doi: 10.3390/cimb46040189.ABSTRACTA hepatocyte cell line was used to determine the hepatotoxicity of sedatives and opioids, as the hepatotoxicity of these drugs has not yet been well characterized. This might pose a threat, especially to critically ill patients, as they often receive high cumulative doses for daily analgosedation and often already have impaired liver function due to an underlying disease or complications during treatment. A well-established biosensor based on HepG2/C3A cells was used for the determination of the hepatotoxicity of commonly used sedatives an...

Perioperative management and outcomes for posterior spinal fusion in patients with Friedreich ataxia: A single-center, retrospective study
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with Friedreich ataxia are at high risk for perioperative complications when undergoing posterior spinal fusion and coordinated multidisciplinary care is required at each stage. Future research should focus on the utility of intraoperative echocardiography, optimal anesthetic agent selection, and targeted fluid management to reduce postoperative cardiac complications.PMID:38655751 | DOI:10.1111/pan.14896 (Source: Paediatric Anaesthesia)

Construction of preclinical evidence for propofol in the treatment of reperfusion injury after acute myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-analysis
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of 48 relevant animal studies investigating propofol's preventive effects on MIRI. Propofol administration demonstrated a reduction in myocardial IS and decreased levels of myocardial injury biomarkers (CK-MB, LDH, cTnI). Moreover, propofol improved myocardial function parameters (+dp/dtmax, -dP/dtmax, LVEF, LVFS), exhibited favorable effects on inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α) and oxidative stress markers (SOD, MDA), and reduced myocardial cell apoptotic index (AI). These findings suggest propofol exerts cardioprotective effects by reducing myocardial injury, decreasing infa...

Differential Susceptibility to Propofol and Ketamine in Primary Cultures of Young and Senesced Astrocytes
In this study, we examined the survival and viability of both young and senescent astrocytes in culture after adding propofol and ketamine to the media at varying strengths. Oxidative stimulus was applied to commercially available fetal cell lines of human astrocytes in vitro to induce morphological changes in cellular senescence. Our results indicate that propofol reduces the survival of young astrocytes as compared to controls, as well as to ketamine. These effects were seen in comparisons of total cell count and at both high and low dose concentrations. High doses of propofol also significantly reduced cell viability co...
