The influence of CO2 versus helium insufflation or the abdominal wall lifting technique on the systemic immune response

Surgical Endoscopy
C SietsesM A Cuesta

Abstract

Both laparoscopic and conventional surgery result in activation of the systemic immune response; however, the influence of the laparoscopic approach, using CO2 insufflation, is significantly less. Little is known about the influence of alternative methods for performing laparoscopy, such as helium insufflation and the abdominal wall lifting technique (AWLT), and the systemic immune response. Thirty-three patients scheduled for elective cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to undergo laparoscopy using either CO2 or helium for abdominal insufflation or laparoscopy using only the AWLT. The postoperative inflammatory response was assessed by measuring the white blood cell count, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). The postoperative immune response was assessed by measuring monocyte HLA-DR expression. CRP levels were significantly higher 1 day after helium insufflation when compared with CO2 insufflation; however, no differences were observed 2 days after surgery. The AWLT resulted in significantly higher levels of CRP both 1 and 2 days after surgery when compared with either CO2 or helium insufflation. A small increase in postoperative IL-6 levels was observed in all groups, but no significant differences were seen...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
