Aim: To investigate the protective and therapeutic effects of dexpanthenol in experimental global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury Material and Methods: 32 female Wistar-Albino rats were used and the rats were divided into 4 groups (Sham, Ischaemia Reperfusion (IR), IR+Dexpantol (IR+DXP) and DXP+IR), each containing 8 animals. At the end of 72 hours of reperfusion, the rats were decapitated after performing the rota-rod and acceler-rod tests, and their brain tissues were removed, histopathologically examined and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione (GSH) and malonyldialdehyde (MDA) levels were evaluated.
Results: In this study, motor skill functions deteriorated in the ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group compared to the Sham group, while significant improvements were observed in both the IR + DXP and DXP + IR groups (p 0.05). There were no notable differences in CAT, SOD, and GPx enzyme levels among the groups (p 0.05). However, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased in the IR group but decreased significantly in the IR + DXP group (p 0.05). Similarly, glutathione (GSH) levels were lower in the IR group but higher in the IR + DXP group (p 0.05). Neuronal degeneration also significantly increased in the IR group, but decreased in the IR + DXP group (p 0.05).
Conclusion: Overall, these findings suggest that dexpanthenol has a neuroprotective effect, particularly when administered during the reperfusion phase, effectively improving motor skills and reducing neuronal damage.

Background: As part of a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) project for microsurgical free-flap breast reconstruction, anesthesia preoperatively placed an anterior quadratus lumborum block (aQLB) to replace the surgeon's intraoperatively placed transversus abdominis plane (sTAP) in its existing institutional early recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol. We hypothesize that aQLB is superior to sTAP in Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator (DIEP) pain control and functional recovery.
Methods: A total of 413 patients were included, 254 patients (before CQI) received sTAP with bupivacaine plus liposomal bupivacaine were compared 159 patients (after CQI) received aQLB using bupivacaine plus dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DXP) and methylprednisolone acetate (MPA).

Background: Apoptosis and immune inflammation play important roles in the pathological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their specific pathogenesis is still unclear. Therefore, this article focuses on exploring the effects of Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder (DXP) on the learning and memory ability of AD model rats from the dual mechanisms of apoptosis and immune inflammation.
Methods: The AD model was replicated by injecting Okadaic acid (100 ng) into the bilateral hippocampus of rats.

Background: 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a broad-spectrum drug that has a wide range of side effects. Patients may experience severe comorbidities as a result of these toxic side effects, making it impossible for them to continue chemotherapy. Despite the fact that various molecules have been experimented, there is no literature data on the efficacy of dexpanthenol (DXP) for mitigating the toxic effects of 5-FU.

Purpose: Pectus excavatum repair using the Nuss procedure is associated with significant postoperative opioid consumption even in the presence of a continuous thoracic paravertebral block.
Patients And Methods: A CQI project was initiated by adding combined glucocorticoids as perineural adjuvants to continuous thoracic paravertebral block. An electronic health record review of patients undergoing Nuss procedures by a single surgeon at a major academic children's hospital from June 2013 to December 2021 was performed with no patients excluded.
