- Abstract
<bold>Background: </bold>Surgical trauma elicits inflammatory responses, including the secretion of cytokines. Recent studies demonstrated that beta-blockers could reduce the expression of cytokines after injury. We therefore tested the effects of different doses of intraoperative esmolol on the inflammatory response after surgery.<bold>Methods: </bold>Patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy were randomly separated into 1 of 3 groups: saline, clinical dose, and subclinical dose groups. The levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-4, and IL-10 were quantified by sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay after the induction of anesthesia (T0), at the end of peritoneal closure (T1), and 60 minutes after surgery (T2). Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured on postoperative day 1.<bold>Results: </bold>At T2, the levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in the saline group were elevated significantly compared with at T0 or T1 (IL-6: 119.62 and 15.97 pg/mL at T2 and T0, respectively [P = .042]; IL-10: 27.27 and 7.03 pg/mL at T2 and T1, respectively [P = .037]). However, no changes were observed over time in the clinical dose group. In contrast, postoperative levels of IL-4 were decreased significantly in the clinical dose group compared with the saline group (2.14 vs 21.91 pg/mL, P = .022). In addition, the CRP levels on postoperative day 1 were lower in the esmolol-treated groups, in a dose-dependent manner.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels were increased over time, suggesting that laparoscopic surgery is a stressor, even though it causes minimal tissue injury. Treatment with esmolol decreased the inflammatory response and CRP production in a dose-dependent manner.
