The Role of Histone Acetylation in the Sevoflurane-induced Inhibition of Neurogenesis in the Hippocampi of Young Mice.

by SmartTots | May 13, 2020 | Research Articles

Abstract The possibility that exposure to inhalation anaesthetics inhibits neurogenesis and results in memory deficits has attracted considerable interest over the past decade. This study was designed to investigate the mechanism of the sevoflurane exposure-induced...

Dexmedetomidine Alleviates Neurogenesis Damage Following Neonatal Midazolam Exposure in Rats through JNK and P38 MAPK Pathways

by SmartTots | May 13, 2020 | Research Articles

Abstract Midazolam, a widely used anesthetic, inhibits proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) and induces neuroapoptosis in neonates. Dexmedetomidine, an effective auxiliary medicine in clinical anesthesia, protects the developing brain against volatile...

Ketamine promotes the neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells by activating mTOR

by SmartTots | May 13, 2020 | Research Articles

Abstract Ketamine is a widely used general anesthetic and has been reported to demonstrate neurotoxicity and neuroprotection. Investigation into the regulatory mechanism of ketamine on influencing neural development is of importance for a better and safer way of...

L-theanine attenuates Isoflurane-induced Injury in Neural Stem Cells and Cognitive Impairment in Neonatal Mice

by SmartTots | May 13, 2020 | Research Articles

Abstract The neurodevelopmental toxicity of isoflurane has been proved by many studies, which makes it essential to explore the underline mechanisms and search for protective agents to attenuate its neurotoxcity. Accumulating evidence showed that L-theanine had...

Exogenous GM1 Ganglioside Attenuates Ketamine-Induced Neurocognitive Impairment in the Developing Rat Brain

by SmartTots | May 13, 2020 | Research Articles

Abstract Background:> A prolonged exposure to ketamine triggers significant neurodegeneration and long-term neurocognitive deficits in the developing brain. Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside (GM1) can limit the neuronal damage from necrosis and apoptosis in...
