ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

For the first time, we found that severe cardiovascular changes occurred in patients with gastric cancer during intraoperative distilled water lavage, which was also observed in a large cohort.

Research motivation

The internal causes of this phenomenon were studied through detailed clinical case observation and a mechanistic study.

Research objectives

The target population was screened out through gene detection and verification.

Research methods

We conducted a prospective observational study of the included cases, and selected typical patients for gene screening, and the results were validated in a large cohort.

Research results

We successfully validated a site mutation in TEP1-886, TEP1-449 as well as RECQL5, and selected the heart rate change of 30% as the cut-off value for comparison and regression analysis.

Research conclusions

SNPs in TEP1 (rs938886), TEP1 (rs1713449) and RECQL5 (rs820196) were associated with changes in heart rate > 30% when peritoneal lavage with distilled water was performed after gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients.

Research perspectives

We performed pre-operative detection of TEP1 and RECQL5 genes in patients and selected different lavage methods for high-risk groups to improve peri-operative safety.
