Article Abstract
Objective: To compare the effects of propofol and inhalation anesthesia on the incidence of early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgeries.
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang data and VIP Database (by October 2012) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing propofol and inhalation anesthesia for their impact on the incidence of early POCD in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgeries. After data extraction and quality evaluation, Stata 12.0 software was used for statistical data analysis.
Results: Thirteen RCTs, including 2 comparing propofol with xenon, 7 comparing propofol with sevoflurane, and 4 comparing propofol with isoflurane were obtained, involving a total of 753 patients. The odds ratio of early POCD incidence between patients with propofol anesthesia and those with xenon anesthesia, sevoflurane anesthesia, and isoflurane anesthesia were 1.62 (95% CI 0.81-3.23, P=0.533), 0.67 (95% CI 0.39-1.14, P=0.830), and 0.20 (95% CI 0.08-0.50, P=0.925), respectively. Overall, the odds ratio of early POCD incidence between propofol anesthesia and inhalation anesthesia was 0.68 (95% CI 0.47-0.98, P=0.189). Egger's test showed a publication bias of the RCTs retrieved (P=0.011).
Conclusion: Compared with inhalation anesthesia, propofol anesthesia is associated with a lower incidence of early POCD in elderly patients, but this conclusion needs to be further verified by more well-designed large-scale RCTs.

An Alternative and Efficient Topicalization Technique for the Difficult Airway: A Case Series.

Anaesthesia and Surgical Intensive Care, Changi General Hospital, Singapore Health Services, Simei, SGP.
Effective airway topicalization is essential for awake tracheal fiberoptic intubation (ATI) in patients with a difficult airway. Traditional methods often result in inadequate anesthesia at the laryngeal inlet, leading to patient discomfort, procedural difficulty, and excessive local anesthetic (LA) use. This case series introduces a novel, resource-efficient topicalization technique using standard operating theatre equipment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of sevoflurane (SEV) on cardiomyocyte (CM) pyroptosis following myocardial ischemia (MI). Reverse validation was performed by pharmacologically activating NLRP3 with monosodium urate (MSU) to confirm that SEV's cardioprotective effects were specifically mediated through the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to sham (sham), model (conventional anesthesia + MI-reperfusion [MIR] injury modeling), SEV (SEV inhalation anesthesia + MIR injury modeling), and SEV + NLRP3 (SEV inhalation anesthesia + MIR injury modeling + NLRP3) groups.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the clinical efficacy of severe early childhood caries (SECC) treatment combined with local anesthesia under general anesthesia.
Methods: A total of 108 children under 6 years old who underwent SECC dental treatment under general anesthesia at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Third Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from March to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects, with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification of classⅠor Ⅱ. The study subjects were divided into a control group (=54) and an experimental group (=54) by retrieving intraoperative cases and postoperative follow-up records.

Department of Anesthesiology, Yunnan Cancer Hospital, Kunming 650118, Yunnan, China.
Background: Both propofol and sevoflurane, commonly used anesthetics, may cause brain oxygen metabolism abnormalities potentially linked to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), though their precise relationship with POCD requires further study.
Objective: To systematically evaluate sevoflurane inhalation versus propofol intravenous anesthesia effects on postoperative cognitive function in cancer patients.
Methods: We searched PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and Chinese Biomedical Literature databases (from January 10, 2023) using keywords including Anaesthesia, Anesthetic Agents, Neoplasm, Cancer, Cognition, and Cognitive Function.
The impact of anesthesia methods on early postoperative cognitive function in Moyamoya disease patients after vascular bypass surgery.

Department of Anesthesiology, Peking University International Hospital, Beijing, China.
Moyamoya disease (MMD) patients often experience cognitive dysfunction following vascular bypass surgery, with anesthesia potentially influencing recovery. This study aims to evaluate the effects of IVA and combined intravenous and inhalational anesthesia (CIA) on cognitive recovery in MMD patients and explore influencing factors. We included 120 MMD patients who underwent vascular bypass surgery from January 1, 2021, to January 31, 2023.
