Effect of IL-1β-511 genetic polymorphism on postoperative analgesia with fentanyl / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of IL-1β-511 genetic polymorphism on postoperative analgesia with fentanyl. Methods Two hundred and fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of Han nationality (native of Henan province) aged 20-50 yr undergoing elective abdominal total hysterectomy or myomectomy under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study. The polymorphic sites of the IL-1β-511 allele were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The patients were assigned into 3 groups according to their genotypes group wild homozygote; group mutation hetorozygote and group mutation homozygote. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, remifentanil, propofol and succinylcholine and maintained with propofol, remifentanil and atracurium. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. The pain was assessed using VAS score after the patients recovered from anesthesia. When VAS score was ＞ 3 the patients were given fentany120 μg every 5 min until VAS score decreased to ≤ 3. PCIA with fentanyl was then started. The PCIA solution contained fentanyl 1.0 mg and droperidol 5mg in 100 ml of normal saline. The PCA pump was set to deliver a background infusion of 0.5 ml/h and a bolus dose of 2 ml at 5 min lockout interval. The VAS score was maintained at ≤3.The amount of fentanyl consumed during 24 h of PCIA was recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the amount of fentanyl consumed during the 24 h PCIA among the 3 groups. Conclusion IL-1β-511 genetic polymorphism is not the factor contributing to the individual variation in the patient' s response to postopertive analgesia with fentanyl, indicating that the pain within 24 h after operation is not related to the inflammatory factors.
