With the development of anesthesiology, patient safety has been remarkably improved, but the postoperative mortality rate at 30 days is still as high as 0.56%-4%, and the morbidity is even higher. Three years ago, the Chinese Society of Anesthesiology proposed that the direction of the anesthesiology development should be changed to perioperative medicine in China. Anesthesiologists should pay more attention to the long-term outcome. In this article, we introduced what we have done, what the challenges are, and what we should do in the future with regard to the practice of perioperative medicine in China.

Road to Perioperative Medicine: A Perspective From China.

Neurologic abnormalities occurring after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) remain a significant concern. However, molecular mechanisms leading to DHCA-related cerebral injury are still ill-defined. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of covalently closed non-coding RNAs and can play important roles in different types of cerebral injury. This study aimed to investigate circRNAs expression profiles in rat hippocampus after DHCA and explore the potential functions of circRNAs in DHCA-related cerebral injury. Hence, the DHCA procedure in rats was established and a transcriptomic profiling of circRNAs in rat hippocampus was done. As a result, a total of 35192 circRNAs were identified. Among them, 339 circRNAs were dysregulated, including 194 down-regulated and 145 up-regulated between DHCA and sham group. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses were performed based on the host genes of all dysregulated circRNAs. Also, 4 circRNAs were validated by RT-qPCR (rno_circ_0028462, rno_circ_0037165, rno_circ_0045161 and rno_circ_0019047). Then a circRNA-microRNA (miRNA) interaction network involving 4 candidate circRNAs was constructed. Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis of the miRNA-targeting mRNAs of every candidate circRNA was conducted to gain insight into each of the 4 circRNAs. Our study provided a better understanding of circRNAs in the mechanisms of DHCA-related cerebral injury and some potential targets for neuroprotection.

Although abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with life-threatening complications, there are still limited reliable biomarkers for diagnostic purpose. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been proposed as the potential diagnostic and risk stratification markers of AAA patients, and we aim to evaluate the serum level of miR-1-3p and its diagnostic value in AAA.

Sepsis is an unusual systemic reaction with high mortality and secondary septic liver injury is proposed to be the major cause of mortality. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can enhance terminal organ perfusion by elevating circulatory support which is used in severe sepsis patients. However, the interaction of blood components with the biomaterials of the extracorporeal membrane elicits a systemic inflammatory response. Besides, inflammation and apoptosis are the main mediators in the pathophysiology of septic liver injury. Therefore, we investigated the protective effect of Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) against septic liver injury supported by ECMO in rats. Sepsis was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 24 hours after the administration, the rats were treated with ECMO. Then blood samples and liver tissues were collected. DNase I significantly attenuated the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and significantly decreased hepatic levels of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, myeloperoxidase (MPO), downstream inflammatory factor interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β ) and interleukin-18 (IL-18), and improved neutrophil infiltration. Additionally, DNase I significantly reduced the expression of apoptosis key protein and terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL)-labeled apoptotic hepatocytes. In summary, our findings demonstrated that DNase I alleviates liver injury in ECMO-supported septic rats by reducing the inflammatory and apoptotic responses.

To examine the correlation between the preoperative elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine transaminase (ALT) (De Ritis) ratio and the drainage volume in patients after aortic arch surgery.

In on-pump cardiac surgery, the albumin priming strategy could maintain colloid osmotic pressure better than crystalloid solutions and reduce excessive perioperative fluid balance. However, a high-quality meta-analysis is required to compare the safety of these approaches in perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Owing to limited direct evidence, we conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) to increase the pool of studies and provide indirect evidence.

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has been proven as the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, the ideal anesthetic strategy during EVT still remains unclear. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the optimal anesthetic modality for patients with AIS undergoing EVT based on current randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
