Fospropofol disodium, a water-soluble prodrug of propofol, has the potential to alleviate these issues. This study aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze the differences in efficacy and safety between fospropofol disodium and propofol for general anesthesia induction.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, and SinoMed, covering studies up to July 2025. Additional searches were performed in Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR).

Emerging studies have identified that PE was primarily induced by inadequate trophoblast migration and invasion. Poly(A) Binding Protein Cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1) is a critical modulator of mRNA translation and stability, with established role in modulating proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion of tumor cells. Transmembrane BAX Inhibitor Motif Containing 4 (TMBIM4), which negatively regulates apoptosis, is downregulated in placental tissues of patients with early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE).
