Abstract Background: Perioperative immune function plays an important role in the prognosis of patients. Several studies have indicated that low-dose opioid receptor blockers can improve immune function. Methods: Sixty-nine patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of the lung cancer were randomly assigned to either the naloxone group (n=35) or the non-naloxone group (n=34) for postoperative analgesia during the first 48 hours after the operation. Both groups received sufentanil and palonosetron via postoperative analgesia pump, while 0.05μg·kg-1·h-1 naloxone was added in naloxone group. The primary outcomes were the level of opioid growth factor(OGF)and immune function assessed by natural killer cells and CD4+/CD8+ T-cell ratio. Second outcomes were assessed by the intensity of postoperative pain, postoperative rescue analgesia dose, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Results: The level of OGF in the naloxone group increased significantly at 24 hours (p<0.001) and 48 hours after the operation (P<0.01). The natural killer cells (P<0.05) and CD4+/CD8+ T-cell ratio (P<0.01) in the naloxone group increased significantly at 48 hours after the operation. The rest VAS scores were better with naloxone at 12 and 24 hours after operation(P<0.05), and the coughing VAS scores were better with naloxone at 48 hours after the operation(P<0.05). The consumption of postoperative rescue analgesics in the naloxone group was lower (0.00(0.00-0.00)vs 25.00(0.00-62.50)),P<0.05). Postoperative nausea scores at 24 hours after operation decreased in naloxone group(0.00 (0.00-0.00) vs 1.00 (0.00-2.00), P < 0.01). Conclusion: Infusion of 0.05μg·kg-1·h-1 naloxone for patients undergoing sufentanil-controlled analgesia for postoperative pain can significantly increase the level of OGF, natural killer cells, and CD4+/CD8+ T-cell ratio compared with non-naloxone group,and postoperative pain intensity, request for rescue analgesics, and opioid-related side effects can also be reduced. Trial registration: The trial was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on January 26, 2019(ChiCTR1900021043). Keywords: Low-dose naloxone, Opioid growth factor, Immune function, Postoperative pain, nausea, vomiting
