Abstract: Objective To observe the effects of edaravone combined with flurbiprofen axetil on the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients under one-lung ventilation (OLV). Methods A total of sixty patients undergoing thoracic surgery or radical resection for esophageal cancer were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into four groups (n=15): an edaravone group (group E), a flurbiprofen axetil group (group F), an edaravone combined with flurbiprofen axetil group (group E+F) and a normal saline group (group C). Patients underwent routine general anesthesia induction and maintenance. Then, 10 min after insertion of a double lumen endobronchial tube, group E was treated with 0.8 mg/kg edavarone, group F was treated with 1 mg/kg flurbiprofen axetil, group E+F was treated with 0.8 mg/kg edavarone and 1 mg/kg flurbiprofen axetil, and group C received 100 ml normal saline alone. Perioperavtive hemodynamics and blood gas indicators were recorded. The broncho?蛳alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of the ventilated lung and radial arterial blood samples (5 ml) were collected at two time points: after intubation (T1) and 60 min after OLV (T2). The concentrations of TNF-α in BALF and serum IL-6 were determined by ELISA. Results The partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) was significantly decreased at T2 in all groups, compare with those at T1 (P<0.05). The TNF-α concentration in BALF was significantly decreased in groups E and E+F (P<0.05), but remarkably increased in group C at T2, compare with those at T1 (P<0.05). Compared with group C, groups E, F and E+F showed remarkably decreased levels of TNF-α at T2 (P<0.05). The concentration of IL-6 in group C at T2 were higher than that at T1 (P<0.05). Compared with group C, groups E, F and E+F showed remarkably decreased levels of IL-6 at T2 (P<0.05). Conclusions OLV can induce lung and systemic inflammatory response. Edaravone and flurbiprofen axetil can decrease the levels of TNF-α in BALF and serum IL-6 to inhibit inflammatory response in patients undergoing surgery with OLV, where no apparent advantage was found in combined use.
