Objective To compare the effects of sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia on endothelial glycocalyx degradation in the patients undergoing abdominal surgery.Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 25-75 yr,weigbing 45-80 kg,scheduled for elective open colon or rectal surgery,were divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table method:sevoflurane anesthesia group (group S) and propofol anesthesia group (group P).In group S,1.5%-2.5% sevoflurane was inhaled for maintenance of anesthesia.In group P,propofol was intravenously infused at 50-150 μg · kg-1 · m-1 to maintain the bispectral index value at 40-60.The concentrations of heparan sulfate (HS),syndecan-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in serum were determined after tracheal intubation (T0),at 1 h after skin incision (T1),at 2 h after skin incision (T2),at the end of operation (T3) and at 24 h after operation (T4).Blood gas analysis and blood biochemical test were performed at T0 and T4,and strong ion gap (SIG) was calculated.Results Compared with the baseline at T0,the concentrations of serum HS at T2-4 and syndecan-1 at T3-4 and SIG at T4 were significantly increased,and the concentrations of serum ALB at T4 were decreased in S and P groups (P<0.05).Compared with group P,the concentrations of serum HS at T3,4 and syndecan-1 at T4 and SIG at T4 were significantly decreased,the concentrations of serum ALB at T4 were increased (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the serum concentrations of VACM-1 and lactate in group S (P>0.05).Conclusion Compared with propofol anesthesia,sevoflurane anesthesia is more helpful in decreasing endothelial glycocalyx degradation and in reducing vascular endothelial damage in the patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the short-term effectiveness of calcaneal lateral displacement osteotomy with lateral ligament repair in the treatment of Takakura stage Ⅱ varus-type ankle arthritis.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 13 patients with Takakura stage Ⅱ varus-type ankle arthritis treated with calcaneal lateral displacement osteotomy with lateral ligament repair between January 2016 and December 2020. There were 6 males and 7 females aged 31-65 years, with an average age of 53.6 years. The preoperative tibial-ankle surface angle (TASA) was (88.13±1.01)°, medial distal tibial angle (MDTA) was (86.36±1.49)°, tibial talar surface angle (TTSA) was (6.03±1.63)°, talar tilting angle (TTA) was (81.95±2.15)°, and tibiocalcaneal axis angle (TCAA) was (-5.74±6.81)°. The preoperative American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was 56.3±7.1 and the pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 3.7±0.5. AOFAS scores, VAS scores, TTSA, TTA, and TCAA were compared between pre- and post-operatively.
RESULTS:
All 13 patients were followed up 14-41 months, with an average of 28.7 months. The osteotomies healed in all patients. The last follow-up revealed TTA, TTSA, and TCAA to be (88.27±1.19)°, (-0.13±1.37)°, and (2.09±5.10)° respectively, the AOFAS score was 84.3±4.2 and the VAS score was 0.7±0.5, all showing significant improvement when compared to preoperative values ( P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
For patients with Takakura stage Ⅱ varus-type ankle arthritis, calcaneal lateral displacement osteotomy with lateral ligament repair can correct the lower limb force line, regain ankle stability, and achieving good short-term effectiveness.
