Trends in anesthesia-related death and brain damage: A closed claims analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The memory-blocking properties of general anesthetics are of high clinical relevance and scientific interest. The inhalational anesthetic xenon antagonizes N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. It is unknown if xenon affects long-term potentiation (LTP), a cellular correlate for memory formation. In hippoca...

The authors previously studied the effect of excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists after incision. In the present study, we examined the role of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA), non-NMDA, and metabotropic gluta...

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Spinal alpha2-adrenoceptor stimulation produces analgesia in neuropathic pain states, and this effect in animals is blocked by the inhibitors of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) function. In rats, alpha2-adrenoceptor stimulation normally inhibits acetylcholine release, but it excites release after ...
