MATERIALS AND METHODS

This was a prospective study, performed at the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Ss. Cyril and Methodius, and the Center for Biomolecular Pharmaceutical Analysis, Faculty of Pharmacy, University Ss. Cyril and Methodius, Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia, from October 2016 to November 2017. The study complied with the 2013 Declaration of Helsinki and the protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee at the Medical Faculty of Skopje, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University [No. 03-242/1], and the Faculty of Pharmacy, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University [No. 03-51/1]. Ninety patients, scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy, were included in this study. All of them signed informed consent before being enrolled in the study. Adult and older female patients (from 25 to 75 years), with body weight not above and below 20.0% of the ideal, and classification status I, II or III, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System (ASA), were included in the study. The patients were aged 29 to 74 years; median age of 51.5 ± 8.8 years. The body weight varied between 48 and 131 kg; median weight of 77.7 ± 16.6 kg. Regarding ethnicity, there were 66 Macedonians (73.3%), 23 Albanians (25.6%) and one patient of Turkish ethnicity (1.1%). According to the ASA physical status classification: nine patients (10.0%) belonged to the ASA I group, 70 patients (77.8%) belonged to the ASA II classification group, and 11 patients (12.2%) belonged to the ASA III group. Twelve patients (13.3%) had a history of comorbidities (six with hypertension, three with obesity and diabetes, two with obesity and one with obesity and high blood pressure). Exclusion criteria included: other anesthetics, soy or nut allergies, history of alcohol or drug addiction, chronic diseases such as psychiatric, hepatic or kidney disease. The propofol was administered according to standard protocol based on individual patients’ status and characteristics and evidence-based medicine data obtained from the Summary of Product Characteristics (0.1-0.15 mg/ kg/min. IV for 3-5 min.). The patients were appropriately preoperatively prepared, and a peripheral intravenous line was inserted before the anesthesia was started. Noninvasive monitoring [arterial tension (TA), electrocardiography (ECG), pulse, oxygen saturation (SpO2) and capnography] was used to monitor the vital functions. In this study, the side effects of propofol, nausea, vomiting and level of sedation, were also analyzed. Recording of side effects started after surgery and ended after 24 hours. The presence of vomiting was noted as number of incidents, while nausea with a nausea score (0; no nausea; 1: mild degree; 2: moderate degree; 3: severe degree). The sedation was scored according to the Ramsey sedation score (0: awake; 1: anxious and agitated or restless or both; 2: cooperative, oriented and tranquil; 3: responding to commands only; 4: brisk response; 5: sluggish response; 6: no response to stimulus). General endotracheal anesthesia was performed as follows: introduction (0.1 mg/kg midazolam, 2 μg/kg fentanyl, 2 mg/kg propofol, 0.4-0.6 mg/kg rocuronium bromide; maintenance: rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg, fentanyl 2 μg/kg and propofol 100 mcg/kg/min.). At the end of the intervention, reversal of neuromuscular block was achieved with 2.5 mg neostigmine and 1 mg atropine, after which the patients were extubated and taken to a recovery room. The depth of anesthesia was standardized by a method of determining entropy [13]. This method also reduces the incidence of consciousness during general anesthesia. The entropy module is an integral part of the Datex-Ohmeda anesthesia machine. The entropy parameters are: response entropy (RE) values of 0-100 and state entropy (SE) values of 0-91. Response entropy responds rapidly with activation of the facial muscles, while SE is a stable parameter that monitors the hypnotic effect of the applied anesthetic. The SE values are always identical or slightly lower than the RE values. To achieve a unified level of depth of general anesthesia we have always strived to have these values between 40-60 [14]. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood according to the protocol provided by the manufacturer of the Mag Core HF16 Plus automatic DNA extractor (RBC Bioscience, New Taipei, Taiwan). The presence of CYP2B6 (c.516G>A) (rs3745274, assay ID C___7817765_ 60; Thermo Fisher Scientific Co., Waltham, MA, USA; https:// www.thermofisher.com/order/genome-database/ details/ genotyping/), GABRA1 (c.1059+15G>A) (rs2279020, assay ID___15966 883_10; Thermo Fisher Scientific Co.) and ABCB1 (c.3435 T>C) (rs1045642, assay ID C___7586657_20; Thermo Fisher Scientific Co.) polymorphisms were analyzed using TaqMan SNP genotype analysis on Stratagene MxPro 3005P real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), apparatus (Agilent Technologies, Edinburgh, UK) using the protocol recommended by the manufacturer. The χ2 test was used to compare the observed vs. expected genotype frequencies according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The descriptive statistical analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 17 for Windows (www.ibm.com). For the statistical analyses we also used Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk test, χ2 test, Fisher exact test, Student’s t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (post-hoc Bonferroni test).
