Anesthetic Sevoflurane Induces Enlargement of Dendritic Spine Heads in Mouse Neurons via Tau-Dependent Mechanisms

by SmartTots | Feb 13, 2026 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Background: Sevoflurane induces neuronal dysfunction and cognitive impairment. However, the underlying mechanism remains largely to be determined. Tau, cyclophilin D, and dendritic spine contribute to cognitive function. But whether changes in dendritic...

Improving Perioperative and Postoperative Neurological Outcomes in Neonatal and Pediatric Populations

by SmartTots | Feb 13, 2026 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

In this video presentation, which is part of the SAFETOTS/S.A.R.N.eP.I online webinar series, Dr. Laszlo Vutskits discusses key points related to improving pediatric neurological outcomes, including whether there is a biological rationale for perioperative...

Duration of Fetoscopic Spina Bifida Repair Does Not Affect the Central Nervous System in Fetal Lambs.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Background: Prenatal spina bifida aperta repair improves neurologic outcomes yet comes with a significant risk of prematurity and uterine scar-related complications. To reduce such complications, different fetoscopic techniques, for example, with varying...

Melatonin attenuates sevoflurane-induced hippocampal damage and cognitive deficits in neonatal mice by suppressing CypD in parvalbumin neurons.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Background: Sevoflurane, a commonly administered inhaled anesthetic, is found to induce synaptic and mitochondrial damage in neonatal mice. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) changes, mediated by Cyclophilin D (CypD), are implicated in mitochondrial...

Engeletin Ameliorates Sevoflurane-Induced Cognitive Impairment by Activating PPAR-Gamma in Neonatal Mice.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Sevoflurane (SEV) is a commonly used anesthetic in pediatric surgery. Recent studies reported that repeated use of SEV contributes to cognitive impairment. Engeletin has been discovered to exert anti-inflammatory effects in various diseases. However, the...

Circular RNA DLGAP4 Alleviates Sevoflurane-Induced Neurotoxicity by Regulating miR-9-5p/Sirt1/BDNF Pathway.

by SmartTots | Jan 4, 2024 | Preclinical Articles, Research Articles

Abstract Background: Sevoflurane is a widely used anesthetic in infants. However, long and repeated exposure to this drug can cause developmental neurotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of circular RNA DLGAP4 (circDLGAP4) in...
