Abstract Propofol is one of the most common intravenous anesthetics which may cause neuronal cell death in young mice. HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) was abnormally expressed in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the effect of HOTAIR on propofol-induced...

Abstract Studies on rodents and nonhuman primates suggest that exposure to anesthetics, particularly in the young brain, is associated with neuronal apoptosis as well as hippocampal‑dependent cognitive dysfunction. Disruption of the development of dentate gyrus may...

Abstract General anesthetics are capable of inducing neuronal apoptosis during the rapid synaptogenesis of immature mammalian brains. In this vulnerable time window, physiological apoptosis also occurs to eliminate excess and inappropriately integrated neurons. We...
