Comparison of effects of different anesthesia methods on immune function and liver function of liver cancer patients after operation

Liver cancer, one of the most common malignant tumors, has seriously threatened people's physical and mental health. The paper was conducted to investigate the functions of two different anesthesia methods on Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP) and T lymphocyte subsets in patients undergoing liver cancer resection, and to explore the liver function impact of patients undergoing liver cancer surgery. 80 liver cancer patients were split into propofol intravenous anesthesia group and sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia group. The patient's operation-related indicators and changes in TNF-α, CRP and T lymphocyte subsets before anesthesia, after anesthesia, 1 day after anesthesia, and 3 days after anesthesia were calculated. The levels of TNF-α and CRP in the two groups after operation were clearly higher than those before anesthesia, but there was no obvious difference between the two groups. After operation, the TNF-α of the propofol intravenous anesthesia group was lower than the sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia group. The CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels in both groups recovered to the pre-anaesthesia level 3 days after the operation. The levels of ALT, AST, ALB and TBIL returned to normal at d4 in both propofol intravenous anesthesia and sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia groups. Compared with evoflurane inhalation anesthesia for patients with liver cancer, intravenous anesthesia with propofol can reduce the body's inflammatory response to a certain extent, has weak inhibitory effect on T lymphocyte immune function, and a smaller effect on liver function.
