| Popis: | Cervical sympathetic nerves may affect blood adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol (CS), melatonin or serotonin levels. We examined whether stellate ganglion block (SGB), which inhibits this nerve conduction, affects these substances. Five types of studies were performed: ACTH and CS were measured before and after SGB. Gastrectomy patients received general anesthesia (GA), general–epidural anesthesia (EPI), GA with SGB or EPI with SGB, and ACTH and CS were measured during surgery. Melatonin and serotonin were measured before and after SGB. In rats, melatonin and serotonin were measured at midnight during dark, light, light with right or bilateral cervical sympathectomy. Melatonin and serotonin were measured during the perioperative period in gastrectomy patients. As a result, SGB did not affect ACTH and CS levels. EPI with SGB showed lower values of ACTH or CS. SGB or cervical sympathectomy did not affect melatonin circadian rhythm and serotonin levels. During surgery, melatonin circadian r... |
