Clinical, Journal: Livedo reticularis by hypothermia during anesthesia for dental treatment in Down's syndrome patient (Pubmed Central) - Aug 3, 2019 Compared with sevoflurane, the use of propofol during cardiac surgery with CPB can efficiently improve postoperative cognitive function without increasing the risk of adverse reactions. This report evidences the need for thermal control of patients undergoing anesthesia, as well as the manifestation of livedo reticularis as a consequence of transoperative hypothermia.

Preclinical, Journal: Effects of repeated exposure to different concentrations of sevoflurane on the neonatal mouse hippocampus (Pubmed Central) - Aug 3, 2019 This report evidences the need for thermal control of patients undergoing anesthesia, as well as the manifestation of livedo reticularis as a consequence of transoperative hypothermia. Repeated exposure to sevoflurane, regardless of the concentration, reduced the volume of the neonatal mouse hippocampus, as well as the number of neurons and dendrite length.

Preclinical, Journal: Intranasal Administration of Insulin Reduces Chronic Behavioral Abnormality and Neuronal Apoptosis Induced by General Anesthesia in Neonatal Mice. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 31, 2019 ...Almost all general anesthetics-including sevoflurane, which is commonly used for children-are potentially neurotoxic to the developing brain...Importantly, insulin administered through intranasal delivery prior to anesthesia was found to prevent the anesthesia-induced long-term behavioral abnormalities, reduction of PSD95, and activation of neuronal apoptosis. These findings suggest that intranasal insulin administration could be an effective approach to prevent the increased risk of neurotoxicity and chronic damage caused by anesthesia in the developing brain.

Journal: Anesthetics Influence Mortality in a Drosophila Model of Blunt Trauma With Traumatic Brain Injury. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 26, 2019 Therefore, collateral effects of general anesthetics should be considered in the interpretation of results obtained in vertebrate trauma models. Invertebrate model organisms can serve as a productive platform to interrogate anesthetic targets that mediate collateral effects and to inform trauma research in higher organisms about the potential impact of anesthetics on outcomes.

Journal: Sevoflurane prevents miR-181a-induced cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2019 This study demonstrates that SAP induces miR-370 and exerts cardioprotective effects on myocardial IRI, where upregulation of miR-370 alleviates myocardial IRI via inhibiting the PLIN5-dependent PPAR signaling pathway. Sevo preconditioning protected against CIRI in vitro and in vivo possibly by inhibiting miR-181a and facilitating XIAP.

Journal: An insight into clustering of halogenated anesthetics molecules in metal-organic frameworks: Evidence of adsorbate self-association in micropores. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 21, 2019 In order to better understand the adsorption of volatile halogenated anesthetics on metal organic frameworks (MOFs), sevoflurane vapor adsorption experiments were performed on commercial MOF-177 at different temperatures...Consequently, they show a "kink" at a specific pressure that increases with increasing equilibrium temperature. Successful modeling of such data by means of the Talu-Meunier equation confirmed clustering of adsorbate molecules inside adsorbent micropores, similarly to water vapor adsorption on activated carbon, which may play an important role when designing a system using MOFs as the potential adsorbents for capturing anesthetics.

Journal: Cellular stress and AMPK links metformin and diverse compounds with accelerated emergence from anesthesia and potential recovery from disorders of consciousness. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 19, 2019 Various compounds that accelerate emergence from anesthesia, thus mitigating problematic effects associated with delayed emergence such as delirium, also activate AMPK (e.g. nicotine, caffeine, forskolin, carbachol)...We propose the novel hypothesis that cellular stress-induced AMPK activation links wakefulness, arousal, and consciousness with paradoxical excitation and accelerated emergence from anesthesia. Because AMPK activators including metformin and nicotine promote proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells located in the subventricular zone and the dentate gyrus, AMPK activation may also enhance brain repair and promote potential recovery from disorders of consciousness (i.e. minimally conscious state, vegetative state, coma).

Chronic exposure to sevoflurane negatively affected the histological structure of the ovary and hormonal regulation.

Preclinical, Journal: Toxicity mechanism of sevoflurane in neural stem cells of rats through DNA methylation. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2019 Methylation mostly occurred in the autosome, and the content of methylation in the high-concentration group was higher than those in the moderate-concentration, low-concentration and control groups (P<0.05). In conclusion, the concentration of sevoflurane can affect the degree of methylation in neural stem cells of rats and produce certain cytotoxicity.
