Project description:BackgroundThere is increasing evidence of the benefits of adjuvant and neoadjuvant immunotherapy in the treatment of solid malignancies like oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). To optimize (neo-)adjuvant treatment, the systemic immunomodulatory effects of tumor surgery itself need to be considered. Currently, there is little evidence on the immunological effects of major surgery, such as free microvascular flap reconstruction. The current study aims to analyze how and to what extent maxillofacial surgery affects systemic parameters of immune tolerance.MethodsA total of 50 peripheral whole blood samples from patients (Group 1 (G1) = extensive OSCC surgery; Group 2 (G2) = free flap reconstruction without persistent malignant disease; Group 3 (G3) = minor maxillofacial surgery) undergoing surgery were included for real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to examine changes in mRNA expression of the biomarkers IL-6, IL-10, FOXP3, and PD-L1. Blood samples were taken immediately before and after surgery as well as on the second, fourth, and tenth postoperative days. Differences in mRNA expression between groups and time points were calculated using statistical tests, including Mann-Whitney U-test and Pearson correlation analysis.ResultsComparing postoperative expression of G1 and G3, there was a significantly higher PD-L1 expression (p = 0.015) in G1 compared to G3 and a significantly lower IL-6 (p = 0.001) and FOXP3 (p = 0.016) expression. Interestingly, IL-10 expression was higher pre- (0.05) and postoperative (p < 0.001) in G1 compared to G3. Additionally, in G1, there was a significant overexpression of IL-10 post-surgery compared to the preoperative value (p = 0.03) and a downregulated expression of FOXP3 between pre- and 2 d post-surgery (p = 0.04). Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the duration of surgery and the perioperative expression changes of the analyzed biomarkers. As the duration of surgery increased, the expression of IL-10 and PD-L1 increased, and the expression of IL-6 and FOXP3 decreased.ConclusionExtensive surgery in OSCC patients is associated with a transient shift toward postoperative systemic immune tolerance compared with patients undergoing minor surgery. However, even extensive surgery causes no signs of long-lasting systemic immunosuppression. The degree of immune tolerance that occurred was associated with the duration of surgery. This supports efforts to minimize the duration of surgery.

Project description:Background contextHemodynamically significant bradycardia and cardiac arrest (CA) are rare under general anesthesia (GA) for spine surgery. Although patient risks are well defined, emerging data implicate surgical, anesthetic and neurologic factors which should be considered in the immediate management and decision to continue or terminate surgery.PurposeTo characterize causes and contributors to significant arrhythmias during spine surgery. We also provide an updated literature review to inform spine care teams and aid in the management of intraoperative bradycardia and CA.Study designCase series and literature review.Patient sampleSix patients who underwent spine surgery from 03/2016 to 01/2020 at a single institution and developed unexpected hemodynamically significant arrhythmia.Outcome measuresOur primary outcome was to identify potential risk factors of interest for significant arrhythmia during spine surgery.MethodsMedical records of patients who underwent spine surgery from 03/2016 to 01/2020 at a single institution and developed unexpected hemodynamically significant arrhythmia during spine surgery were identified from a departmental Quality Assurance Database. We evaluated the presence/absence of patient, surgical, anesthetic and neurologic risk factors and estimated the most likely etiology of the event, immediate and subsequent management, whether surgery was postponed or continued and outcomes.ResultsWe found a temporal relationship of bradyarrhythmia and CA after somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) stimulation in 4/6 cases and pharmacy/polypharmacy in 2/6. Surgery was completed in 4/6 patients, and terminated in 2/6 (subsequently completed in both). We found no adverse outcomes in any patients. Our literature review predominately identified case reports for guidance to support decision making. New literaure suggests peripheral nerve blocks and opioid-sparing anesthetic agents should also be considered.ConclusionsSignificant bradycardia and CA during spine surgery does not always require termination of the surgical procedure. Decision making should be undertaken in each case individually, with an updated awareness of potential causes. The study also suggests the need for large prospective studies to adequately assess incidence, risk factors and outcomes.

Project description:Background and objectivesIn this systematic review, we carried out an assessment of perioperative costs of local or regional anesthesia versus general anesthesia in the ambulatory setting.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted to find relevant data on costs and cost-effectiveness analyses of anesthesia regimens in outpatients, regardless of the medical procedure they underwent. The hypothesis was that local or regional anesthesia has a lower economic impact on hospital costs in the outpatient setting. The primary outcome was the average total cost of anesthesia calculated on perioperative costs (drugs, staff, resources used).ResultsOne-thousand-six-hundred-ninety-eight records were retrieved, and 28 articles including 27,581 patients were selected after reviewing the articles. Data on the average total costs of anesthesia and other secondary outcomes (anesthesia time, recovery time, time to home readiness, hospital stay time, complications) were retrieved. Taken together, these findings indicated that local or regional anesthesia is associated with lower average total hospital costs than general anesthesia when performed in the ambulatory setting. Reductions in operating room time and postanesthesia recovery time and a lower hospital stay time may account for this result.ConclusionsDespite the limitations of this systematic review, mainly the heterogeneity of the studies and the lack of cost-effectiveness analysis, the economic impact of the anesthesia regimes on healthcare costs appears to be relevant and should be further evaluated.

Project description:BackgroundAcute pancreatitis has been described as potential complication of both abdominal and non-abdominal surgeries. The pathogenetic mechanism underlying acute pancreatitis in spine surgery may include intraoperative hemodynamic instability causing prolonged splanchnic hypoperfusion, as well as mechanical compression of the pancreas due to scoliosis correction, with a higher risk in cases of more extended fusions, especially in young adults with lower body mass index (BMI).Case presentationWe report here a case of postoperative acute pancreatitis with benign evolution in a young female patient after the first and second surgery of a two-stage correction of right thoracic idiopathic scoliosis.In December 2017, the patient underwent first-stage T4-L3 posterior arthrodesis with T7-T12 osteotomies and temporary magnetic bar. Intraoperative blood loss required massive transfusion. In the immediate postoperative period, the patient started reporting nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain at pressure, moderate meteorism, abdominal distension, hypoactive bowel sounds, and fever. Laboratory tests indicated a progressive increase in aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, serum amylase, lipase, phospho-creatine kinase, and reactive C-protein. A CT scan showed free abundant abdominal fluid in the hepatic, renal, pancreatic, and pelvic regions. After the diagnosis, a hypolipidic diet was initiated, and good hydration per os was maintained. After gastroenterologic consultation, somatostatin, rifaximin, and ursodehoxycholic acid were initiated and maintained for 8 days. In the following days, laboratory tests showed a slow but consistent decrease in liver and pancreatic enzymes until normalization. In January 2018, the patient underwent second-stage surgery with removal of magnetic bar, definitive posterior fusion, and instrumentation T4-L3. Laboratory tests showed a second, even more significant, increase in the amylase and lipase level and a moderate increase in the reactive C-protein. Therapy was maintained until complete normalization of amylase and lipase levels.ConclusionsEarly recognition of symptoms plays a key role in preventing severe morbidity after scoliosis surgery. When symptoms suggest abdominal complication, pancreatic and liver enzymes are to be evaluated for posing prompt diagnosis. Gastroenterologic consultation and eventual imaging are further steps in differential diagnosis and treatment of this rare complication.

Project description:BackgroundThe term "navigation" describes a device that can pinpoint critical anatomical features, the most direct path to the target, and the optimal surgical orientation. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive literature search on computer-assisted navigation for use in oral and maxillofacial surgery.MethodsFollowing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, relevant studies were retrieved from five electronic databases: Medline, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Saudi Digital Library (SDL). The central question was, "Does the computer-assisted navigation system improve the outcome of surgical procedures in the oral and maxillofacial region?" The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 was used to determine the various types of bias.ResultsPost-traumatic midfacial reconstruction is one of the many fields that have benefited from the use of computer-assisted navigation because of its reliability. It can also be used to extricate difficult foreign entities from the operative zone. Locating critical anatomical components, communicating the surgical plan to the patient, and verifying surgical success can improve the function and appearance of patients with dentofacial abnormalities. In addition, it decreases the surgical error margin and duration.ConclusionComputer-assisted navigation is promising in surgical practice. The accuracy of surgery can be significantly enhanced by first planning the process in a virtual environment and then performing it under close supervision in real time. In addition, the time required for preoperative planning and surgery can be reduced by creating and improving software programs.

Project description:Agents that control bleeding and the usage of bypassing agents have made surgery an option to consider in people with hemophilia. However, the lack of consistent definitions for major or minor surgery may lead to inconsistencies in patient management. This literature review has evaluated how surgical procedures in people with hemophilia were categorized as major or minor surgery and assessed the consistency across publications. After screening 926 potentially relevant articles, 547 were excluded and 379 full-text articles were reviewed. Ninety-five articles categorized major or minor surgical procedures; of these, 35 publications categorized three or more major or minor surgical procedures and were included for analysis. Seven (20%) publications provided varying criteria for defining major or minor surgery, five of which defined surgery according to the level of surgical invasiveness. Across all 35 publications, there was considerable variance in the categorization of major and minor surgical procedures and some overlap in surgical nomenclature (eg, type of synovectomy, arthroscopy, and central venous access device insertion/removals). The lack of consistent guidance when referring to major or minor surgery in people with hemophilia needs to be addressed. Clear and consistent definitions, achieved by consensus and promoted by relevant international hemophilia committees, are desirable, to provide guidance on appropriate treatment, to increase the accuracy of trial data and may confound the interpretation of surgical outcomes.

Project description:Immunomodulation is a technique for the modulation of immune responses against graft material to improve surgical success rates. The main target cell for the immunomodulation is a macrophage because it is the reaction site of the graft and controls the healing process. Macrophages can be classified into M1 and M2 types. Most immunomodulation techniques focus on the rapid differentiation of M2-type macrophage. An M2 inducer, 4-hexylresorcinol, has been recently identified and is used for bone grafts and dental implant coatings.

Project description:BackgroundSevoflurane and propofol are two popular anesthetics used during glioblastoma (GBM) surgery. This investigation compared the molecular subtypes and immune checkpoints of cancer cells following GBM surgery under sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia.MethodThe expression profile data and clinical information of glioma samples of different grades were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Weighted gene coexpression network analysis was used to identify hub modules and key genes related to glioma grades (G2 and G3). The GEO database (GSE179004) was used to retrieve glioma surgical specimens with different anesthetic gene expression profiles. The differential expression of immune checkpoint genes under various anesthetic settings was examined using the R-ggplot2.ResultsCompared to sevoflurane, propofol significantly downregulated SERPINI1 and CAMK2A expression. These are also important factors in glioma grading. Simultaneously, SERPINI1 and CAMK2A were also significantly related to the prognosis of GBM and lower-grade glioma patients and acted as potential tumor suppressors. In addition, propofol increases the expression of the immune checkpoint molecule, PD-L1.ConclusionsOur study revealed that sevoflurane can more effectively prevent the development of glioma after surgery than propofol, and SERPINI1 can be used as a new independent prognostic factor for glioma.

Project description:Large-scale transcriptome and methylome data analyses obtained by high-throughput technologies have been enabling the identification of novel imprinted genes. We investigated genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in multiple human tissues, using a high-resolution microarray to uncover hemimethylated CpGs located in promoters overlapping CpG islands, aiming to identify novel candidate imprinted genes. Using our approach, we recovered ~30% of the known human imprinted genes, further 168 candidates were identified, 61 of which with at least three hemimethylated CpGs shared by more than two tissue types. Thirty-four of these candidate genes are members of the protocadherins cluster on 5q31.3; in mice, protocadherin genes have non-imprinted monoallelic randomic expression, which might be the case in humans. Among the remaining 27 genes, ZNF331 was recently validated as an imprinted gene, and six of them have been reported as candidates, supporting our prediction. Five candidates (CCDC166, ARC, PLEC, TONSL and VPS28) map to 8q24.3, and might constitute a novel imprinted cluster. Additionally, we performed a comprehensive compilation of known human and mice imprinted genes from literature and databases, and a comparison among high-throughput imprinting studies in humans. The screening for hemimethylated CpGs shared by multiple human tissues, together with the extensive review, appears as a useful approach to reveal candidate imprinted genes.
