Influence of propofol intravenous anesthesia on hemorheology, haemodynamics and immune function of colorectal carcinoma patients undergoing radical resection

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the changes of hemorheology, haemodynamics and immune function of patients during propofol intravenous anesthesia in the radical resection of colorectal carcinoma and its significance.
 Methods: The study included 112 patients who underwent radical resection of colorectal carcinoma in our hospital between August 2016 and December 2017, and they were divided into an observation group (N=56) and a control group (N=56) using random number table. Patients in the observation group were given propofol intravenous anesthesia, while patients in the control group received inhalation anesthesia of sevoflurane. Hemorheological and haemodynamical indexes were compared and analyzed before anesthesia (T0), 90 min after induction (T1), 150 min after induction (T2) and 30 min after entering post-anesthesia care unit (T3), and the changes of immune function before and after surgery was also observed.
 Results: The whole blood viscosity under high, medium and low shear rates of the observation group declined significantly compared to that of the control group at T1, T2 and T3 (P<0.05). The heart rate (HR) and systolic pressure (SPB) of the observation group significantly decreased at T2 compared to those at T1 (P<0.05), but recovered to the level observed at T0 at T3. The diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of the two groups at T1, T2 and T3 was not significantly different with that at T0 (P>0.05). The levels of CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ of both groups had a significant decrease at the end of the surgery compared to before anesthesia (P<0.05); the levels of the observation group recovered at the postoperative 72nd h, and the differences with the levels before anesthesia had no statistical significance (P>0.05); the level of CD45RA+ of the control group also recovered at the postoperative 72nd h, but the difference with the level before anesthesia had no statistical significance (P>0.05); the level of CD45RO+ of the control group had a significant decrease, and the difference with the level before anesthesia was statistically significant (P<0.05). The level of CD45RA+/CD45RO+ of the observation group at the end of surgery and the postoperative 72nd h was not significantly different with those before anesthesia (P>0.05). The level of CD45RA+/CD45RO+ of the control group at the postoperative 72nd h showed a significant increase compared to before anesthesia (P<0.05).
 Conclusion: Propofol intravenous anesthesia has a significant improvement effect on hemorheology before radical resection of colorectal carcinoma and has a small influence on haemodynamics. Moreover it is beneficial to the recovery of immune function. The therapy is worth promotion.

The benefits of propofol on cancer treatment: Decipher its modulation code to immunocytes

“…In another survey, the levels of CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ of both groups significantly decreased after surgery, while the CD45RA+ of all recovered at the postoperative 72 h, whereas the level of CD45RO+ recovered less in the sevoflurane group. According to the level of CD45RA+/CD45RO+, the postoperative immunosuppression in the treatment group of sevoflurane lasted a longer time than it did in the propofol group (Yu et al, 2019).…”

Comparative analysis of anesthesia and clinical efficacy of inhalation anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia in Trigeminal Nerve Balloon Avulsion

“…However, it has a strong inhibitory effect on the circulatory system and affects the activity of sympathetic nerves. 10 Moreover, intravenous anesthesia with propofol has high requirements for anesthesiologists and is difficult to be popularized in hospitals, especially in primary hospitals. In the past, ether was often used for inhalation anesthesia.…”

Anaesthesia as an influence in tumour progression

“…Increased chemosensitivity was found for trastuzumab in breast cancer [ 4 ], paclitaxel and cisplatin in ovarian cancer [ 5 , 6 ] and gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer [ 7 ]. Propofol preserves the immunological function compared to sevoflurane, which suppressed functional T1-lymphocytes in human colorectal and cervical cancer [ 8 , 9 ] (Fig. 1 ).…”
