Abstract:
Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of Dexmedetomidine (Dex) on plasma hs-CRP, interleukin-1 (IL-1) , IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in patients undergoing radical resection of tongue cancer.
Methods Sixty patients with tongue cancer undergoing surgery with general anesthesia (ASAⅠ~Ⅱ) were included. They were randomly divided into Dex group and control group with each of 30. Both group of patients were rapidly induced with pro- pofol, remifentanil and cis-atracurium and followed by sevoflu- ran, remifentanil and cis-atracurium for maintenance. In addition to sevofluran, remifentanil and cis-atracurium, the Dex group also received Dexmedetomidine for maintenance. ELISA was used to examine the plasma level of hs-CRP, IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α at 30 minutes before anesthesia induction (T0) , before skin incision (T1) , 1 hour of operation (T2) , immediately postoperation (T3) , 6 h postoperation (T4) and 24 h postoperation (T5) .
Results Plasma hs-CRP, IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α levels were obviously higher at T2, T3, T4 and T5 than at T0 and T1 in both groups (P<0.01) , with peak level at T3 and gradually decreasing postopertation. Compared with control group, plasma hs-CRP, IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α were markedly decreased in the Dex group at T2, T3, T4 and T5 (P<0.01) .
Conclusion Dexmedetomidine could inhibit inflammation in patients undergoing radical resection of tongue cancer.
