Effects of parecoxib sodium and fentanyl multimodal analgesia on immune functions in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of multimodal analgesia of parecoxib and fentanyl on perioperative immune functions in patients of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Eighty HCC patients scheduled for hepatectomy were randomly divided into two groups:parecoxib sodium combined with fentanyl group (group P,40 cases) and fentanyl group (group C,40 cases).The percentages of CD3 +,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+ T cells,CD3-CD16+ CD56+ (NK),interleukin-4 (IL-4),interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4 were detected at the following time points:30 minutes before induction of anesthesia (T0),at the end of the surgery (T1),24 h after surgery (T2) and 72 h after surgery (T3).The analgesic effects were estimated by visual analogue scale (VAS) after surgery.Total fentanyl consumption and adverse effects were also recorded.Results The percentages of CD3 + T cells were significantly lower in group C than that in group P at T2 (t =2.155,P ＜0.05).The percentages of NK in group P were recovered nearly to baseline (T0) at T2,which was higher than that of group C (t =2.791,P ＜0.05).In group C,the percentages of CD3 + T cells and NK has not recovered to baseline at T3 (respectively t =3.065,3.231,P ＜ 0.05).In group P,IL-4 serum levels were significantly lower than those in group C,while IFN-γ serum levels were significantly higher than those in group C at T2 (respectively t =2.173,2.100,P ＜0.05).From T2 to T3,the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4 significantly increased in group P than those in group C (respectively t =3.259,2.203,P ＜ 0.05).VAS scores at rest and on cough in group P were significantly lower than those in group C at 2 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h after operation (respectively t =8.661,9.726,9.147,7.109,P＜0.05;t =8.569,9.614,9.144,8.509,P＜0.05).The total fentanyl consumption in group P was lower than that in group C (t =2.636,P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences regarding the incidence of adverse effects between the two groups.Conclusions Perioperative multimodal analgesia of parecoxib sodium combined with fentanyl enhances the analgesic efficacy,and reduces the dosage of opioid consumption,helps recover the cell immunity function of HCC patients after hepatectomy.
