Anti-oxidant effects of propofol (2, 6-diisopropylphenol) were evaluated agains carbon tetrachloridet CCl4 -induced oxidative stress in rat liver. 30 male rats were equally divided in to 6 groups (5 rats each). Group I (control), while Group II was given CCl4 (3 mL /Kg/day, IP). Animals of Groups III received only propofol (10 mg/Kg/day, IP). Group IV was given propofol+ CCl4. Group V was admin...

Objective(s): To analyze the potential influences of propofol on the oxidative stress of H2O2-induced human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) Eca109 cell through mediating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Materials and Methods: Eca109 cells were classified into 5 groups: Control group, H2O2 group, Propofol + H2O2 group, Dkk1 (Dickkopf-1, Wnt/β-catenin pathway antagonist) + H2O2 group...

The purpose of this study was to examine possible peripheral mechanisms for the reduction of propofol injection pain by the addition of ketamine. We hypothesised that pH changes associated with the addition of ketamine to propofol decrease propofol-induced pain on injection. We compared the efficacy of intravenous ketamine pretreatment under tourniquet with ketamine added to the propofol. In th...

background: in this study, we compared the efficacy and safety of propofol and midazolam in treatment of children’s refractory status epilepticus.   methods: we recruited 32 patients with refractory status epilepticus. of those, 16 were treated primarily with midazolam and 16 received propofol.   results: we achieved complete seizure control in 6 (38%) patients treated by midazolam, and in 10 (...

I.v. anaesthetic agents, including propofol, have not been shown to inhibit hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). This may encourage the use of propofol in thoracic surgery where one lung ventilation (OLV) is required. We have compared the effects of maintaining anaesthesia with either isoflurane or propofol infusion on right ventricular function and shunt fraction. We studied 10 patients w...

Objective To explore the difference of anesthesia recovery and postoperative conscious state between remimazolam toluenesulfonic acid propofol after induction maintenance general anesthesia. Methods 104 patients undergoing elective tracheal intubation in our hospital were randomly divided into 2 groups: Remimazolam Toluenesulfonic group (Group R) Propofol P). MOAA/S score, modified Aldrete inde...

BACKGROUND: Propofol administration in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) is still a matter of debate. Despite lacking evidence for its feared arrhythmogenicity, up to date, expert cardiologists recommend avoiding propofol. The main aim this study assess the occurrence malignant arrhythmias or defibrillations BrS, during and 30 days after propofol administration. secondary investigate adverse...

Background and Objectives: The present study was conducted to assess the effects of low dose Midazolam with Propofol and Propofol alone during minor oral and maxillofacial surgeries; to evaluate the level of sedation, post-operative amnesia, and condition of the patient during surgery, patient satisfaction and opinion. Material and Methods: Fifty ASA Grade I and II patients were randomly alloca...
