Upregulation of prostaglandin E2 and interleukins in the central nervous system and peripheral tissue during and after surgery in humans

TLDR
The results suggest that upregulation of prostaglandin E2 and interleukin 6 at central sites is an important component of surgery induced inflammatory response in patients and may influence clinical outcome.
Abstract
Background:The central and peripheral inflammatory response to surgery may influence patient outcomes. This study examines the time course and clinical relevance of changes in prostaglandin E2 and cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid, local tissue (surgical site), and circulating blood during and after

Postoperative impairment of cognitive function in rats: a possible role for cytokine-mediated inflammation in the hippocampus.

TL;DR: Cognitive function in splenectomized animals was impaired at days 1 and 3 after surgery compared with cognitive function in nonanesthetized rats, and splenectomy performed during neuroleptic anesthesia triggers a cognitive decline that is associated with a hippocampal inflammatory response that seems to be due to proinflammatory cytokine-dependent activation of glial cells.

Exploiting the critical perioperative period to improve long-term cancer outcomes

TL;DR: The measures described in this Review could transform the perioperative timeframe from a prominent facilitator of metastatic progression, to a window of opportunity for arresting and/or eliminating residual disease, potentially improving long-term survival rates in patients with cancer.

Interleukin-1β-mediated induction of Cox-2 in the CNS contributes to inflammatory pain hypersensitivity

TL;DR: Prostaglandin E2 levels in the cerebrospinal fluid are Elevated by finding a widespread induction of Cox-2 expression in spinal cord neurons and in other regions of the CNS, and preventing central prostanoid production by inhibiting the interleukin-1β-mediated induction ofcox-2 in neurons reduces centrally generated inflammatory pain hypersensitivity.

Mild hypothermia increases blood loss and transfusion requirements during total hip arthroplasty.

TL;DR: The maintenance of intraoperative normothermia reduces blood loss and allogeneic blood requirements in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty and increases blood loss in the hypothermic patients.

Response of serum interleukin-6 in patients undergoing elective surgery of varying severity.

TL;DR: The results are consistent with a role for interleukin-6 in the induction of C-reactive protein synthesis, and it is concluded that seruminterleuk in-6 is a sensitive, early marker of tissue damage.
