Neuroprotective Effects of Electroacupuncture on an Animal Model of Bilateral Common Carotid Artery Occlusion.

abstract：:Inhalational general anesthetics, such as sevoflurane and isoflurane, modulate a subset of brain Kv1 potassium channels. However, the Kv1.2 channel is resistant to propofol, a commonly used intravenous alkylphenol anesthetic. We hypothesize that propofol binds to a presumed pocket involving the channel's S4-S5 linker,...
