Abstract
Several volatile anesthetics have presented neuroprotective functions in ischemic injury. This study investigates the effect of desflurane (Des) on neurons following oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) challenge and explores the underpinning mechanism. Mouse neurons HT22 were subjected to OGD, which significantly reduced cell viability, increased lactate dehydrogenase release, and promoted cell apoptosis. In addition, the OGD condition increased oxidative stress in HT22 cells, as manifested by increased ROS and MDA contents, decreased SOD activity and GSH/GSSG ratio, and reduced nuclear protein level of Nrf2. Notably, the oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis were substantially blocked by Des treatment. Bioinformatics suggested potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 1 (Kcna1) as a target of Des. Indeed, the Kcna1 expression in HT22 cells was decreased by OGD but restored by Des treatment. Artificial knockdown of Kcna1 negated the neuroprotective effects of Des. By upregulating Kcna1, Des activated the Kv1.1 channel, therefore enhancing K+ currents and inducing neuronal repolarization. Pharmacological inhibition of the Kv1.1 channel reversed the protective effects of Des against OGD-induced injury. Collectively, this study demonstrates that Des improves electrical activity of neurons and alleviates OGD-induced neuronal injury by activating the Kcna1-dependent Kv1.1 channel.

Propofol-Based Anesthesia Maintenance and/or Volatile Anesthetics during Intracranial Aneurysm Repair: A Comparative Analysis of Neurological Outcomes. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6954. [PMID: 37959418 PMCID: PMC10648155 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12216954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Volatile and intravenous anesthetics have substantial effects on physiological functions, notably influencing neurological function and susceptibility to injury. Despite the importance of the anesthetic approach, data on its relative risks or benefits during surgical clipping or endovascular treatments for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) remains scant. We investigated whether using volatile anesthetics alone or in combination with propofol infusion yields superior neurological outcomes following UIA obliteration. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 1001 patients who underwent open or endovascular treatment for UIA, of whom 596 had short- and long-term neurological outcome data (modified Rankin Scale) recorded. Multivariable ordinal regression analysis was performed to examine the association between the anesthetic approach and outcomes. RESULTS Of 1001 patients, 765 received volatile anesthetics alone, while 236 received propofol infusion and volatile anesthetics (combined anesthetic group). Short-term neurological outcome data were available for 619 patients and long-term data for 596. No significant correlation was found between the anesthetic approach and neurologic outcomes, irrespective of the type of procedure (open craniotomy or endovascular treatment). The combined anesthetic group had a higher rate of ICU admission (p < 0.001) and longer ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS, p < 0.001). Similarly, a subgroup analysis revealed longer ICU and hospital LOS (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.001, respectively) in patients who underwent endovascular UIA obliteration under a combined anesthetic approach (n = 678). CONCLUSIONS The addition of propofol to volatile anesthetics during UIA obliteration does not provide short- or long-term benefits to neurologic outcomes. Compared to volatile anesthetics alone, the combination of propofol and volatile anesthetics may be associated with an increased rate of ICU admission, as well as longer ICU and hospital LOS.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a dynamic structure that protects the brain from harmful blood-borne, endogenous and exogenous substances and maintains the homeostatic microenvironment. All constituent cell types play indispensable roles in the BBB's integrity, and other structural BBB components, such as tight junction proteins, adherens junctions, and junctional proteins, can control the barrier permeability. Regarding the need to exchange nutrients and toxic materials, solute carriers, ATP-binding case families, and ion transporter, as well as transcytosis regulate the influx and efflux transport, while the difference in localisation and expression can contribute to functional differences in transport properties. Numerous chemical mediators and other factors such as non-physicochemical factors have been identified to alter BBB permeability by mediating the structural components and barrier function, because of the close relationship with inflammation. In this review, we highlight recently gained mechanistic insights into the maintenance and disruption of the BBB. A better understanding of the factors influencing BBB permeability could contribute to supporting promising potential therapeutic targets for protecting the BBB and the delivery of central nervous system drugs via BBB permeability interventions under pathological conditions.

Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is recognized as the main cause of neonatal death, and efficient treatment strategies remain limited. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of sevoflurane (SF) post-treatment in alleviating HIE in rats. The HIE rat model and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) cell model were established, and adeno-associated virus (AAV)-histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EHMT2 (G9a) was transfected after SF treatment. The learning and memory ability and the levels of nerve growth factor (NGF)/brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were evaluated and determined. The levels of G9a/histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) and the enrichment level of H3K9me2 in the promoter region of BDNF gene were analyzed. After SF post-treatment, the neurons in cerebral cortex, the learning and memory skills and the contents of NGF/BDNF were increased, while the apoptosis and G9a/H3K9me2 levels were reduced. After overexpression of G9a in vitro/vivo, the enrichment levels of H3K9me2 in the promoter region of BDNF were increased, the levels of BDNF were decreased, the neurons were damaged and the learning and memory abilities of HIE rats were impaired. The conclusion is that SF post-treatment can promote the expression of BDNF by inhibiting H3K9me2 on the BDNF gene promoter and inhibiting G9a, thus alleviating HIE in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The stroke induced by ischemia of brain remains high incidence and death rate. The study wanted to confirm the effects of Quaking 6 (QKI 6) on the protection role in neurons of rat model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI). MATERIAL AND METHODS The rat model with CIRI induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion was well established and rat neurons were isolated to characterize the effects of QKI 6 mediated by sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) on synthesis of triglyceride in neuron and neuronal apoptosis via activation of SIRT1-peroxisome proliferater-activated receptor (PPAR)γ- peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator (PGC)-1α signaling pathway. RESULTS The expression levels of SIRT1 or QKI 6, and acetylation level of QKI 6 were decreased in neurons of rat model with CIRI. QKI 6 deacetylated and mediated by SIRT1 that contributed to suppressing the progression of neuronal apoptosis in rat through promoting synthesis of triglyceride in vivo and in vitro via SIRT1-PPARγ-PGC-1α signaling pathway, then inhibiting CIRI. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated SIRT1 deacetylates QKI 6, the RNA-binding protein, that affects significantly the synthesis of triglyceride in neurons of CIRI rat model. Moreover, it activated transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) through post-transcriptional regulation of the expression of PPARγ, and further enhanced synthesis of triglyceride, thereby restrained the progression of neural apoptosis and CIRI.

Abstract
Background Preclinical studies suggest that volatile anesthetics decrease infarct volume and improve the outcome of ischemic stroke. This study aims to determine their effect during noncardiac surgery on postoperative ischemic stroke incidence. Methods and Results This was a retrospective cohort study of surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia at 2 tertiary care centers in Boston, MA, between October 2005 and September 2017. Exclusion criteria comprised brain death, age <18 years, cardiac surgery, and missing covariate data. The exposure was defined as median age‐adjusted minimum alveolar concentration of all intraoperative measurements of desflurane, sevoflurane, and isoflurane. The primary outcome was postoperative ischemic stroke within 30 days. Among 314 932 patients, 1957 (0.6%) experienced the primary outcome. Higher doses of volatile anesthetics had a protective effect on postoperative ischemic stroke incidence (adjusted odds ratio per 1 minimum alveolar concentration increase 0.49, 95% CI, 0.40–0.59, P<0.001). In Cox proportional hazards regression, the effect was observed for 17 postoperative days (postoperative day 1: hazard ratio (HR), 0.56; 95% CI, 0.48–0.65; versus day 17: HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74–0.99). Volatile anesthetics were also associated with lower stroke severity: Every 1‐unit increase in minimum alveolar concentration was associated with a 0.006‐unit decrease in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (95% CI, −0.01 to −0.002, P=0.002). The effects were robust throughout various sensitivity analyses including adjustment for anesthesia providers as random effect. Conclusions Among patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, volatile anesthetics showed a dose‐dependent protective effect on the incidence and severity of early postoperative ischemic stroke.

Abstract
This study investigated the protective effects and mechanisms of sevoflurane preconditioning (SPC) on neurons in ischemic mice. After SPC, mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Cerebral infarction area, cell apoptosis, and metallothionein-1 (MT-1) and metallothionein-2 (MT-2) expressions in MCAO mice were analyzed. Mouse primary neurons were isolated and cultured to determine the location of metallothioneins (MTs) using immunofluorescence. Neurons transfected with MT-siRNA, exogenous MTs, or sh-MTF-1 were subjected to SPC and/or oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), and MT-1/MT-2 expression and neurotoxin release were assayed. Meanwhile, neurons were treated with the nitric oxide donor SNAP, degraded SNAP, or the peroxide initiator paraquat, and alterations in MT-1/MT-2 expression and neurotoxicity release were observed. SPC attenuated neuronal injury and apoptosis in MCAO mice. SPC could protect neurons against OGD injury and resulted in upregulated MT-1/MT-2 expression. MT-siRNA transfection led to the downregulated expression of MT-1/MT-2 and increased neurotoxicity, and the expression patterns of these neurons were different from those of neurons transfected with exogenous MTs. The knockdown of MTs could hinder the protective effect of SPC against OGD. Pretreatment with SNAP or paraquat could increase MTF-1 expression in the nucleus of neurons, protecting against OGD injury. The inhibition of nitric oxide and peroxide inhibited the protective role of SPC in OGD by downregulating MTF-1 expression. sh-MTF-1 transfection downregulated MT-1/MT-2 expression and enhanced neurotoxicity in neurons. SPC confers neuroprotection in focal cerebral ischemia mouse models by upregulating the expression of MT-1 and MT-2 by activating NO and peroxide and increasing MTF-1 expression in the nucleus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although surgical field visualization is important in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), the complications associated with controlled hypotension for surgery should be considered. Intraoperative hypotension is associated with postoperative stroke, leading to subsequent hypoxia with potential neurologic injury. We investigated the effect of propofol and desflurane anesthesia on S-100β and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels which are early biomarkers for cerebral ischemic change during controlled hypotension for FESS. METHODS For controlled hypotension during FESS, anesthesia was maintained with propofol/remifentanil in propofol group (n = 30) and with desflurane/remifentanil in desflurane group (n = 30). For S-100β and GFAP assay, blood samples were taken at base, 20 and 60 minutes after achieving the target range of mean arterial pressure, and at 60 minutes after surgery. RESULTS The base levels of S-100β were 98.04 ± 78.57 and 112.61 ± 66.38 pg/mL in the propofol and desflurane groups, respectively. The base levels of GFAP were 0.997 ± 0.486 and 0.898 ± 0.472 ng/mL in the propofol and desflurane groups, respectively. The S-100β and GFAP levels were significantly increased in the study period compared to the base levels in both groups (P ≤ .001). There was no significant difference at each time point between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION On comparing the effects of propofol and desflurane anesthesia for controlled hypotension on the levels of S-100β and GFAP, we noted that there was no significant difference in S-100β and GFAP levels between the 2 study groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to study the role of amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) glutamate receptor 2 (GluR2) subunit trafficking, and activity changes in short-term neuroprotection provided by propofol post-conditioning. We also aimed to determine the role of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) in the regulation of these processes. METHODS Rats underwent 1 h of focal cerebral ischemia followed by 23 h of reperfusion were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 36 per group): sham- operation (S), ischemia-reperfusion (IR), propofol (P group, propofol 20 mg/kg/h at the onset of reperfusion for 2 h after 60 min of occlusion), and LY294002 (PI3K non-selective antagonist) + sham (L + S, LY294002 of 1.5 mg/kg was infused 30 min before sham operation), LY294002+ ischemia-reperfusion (L + IR, LY294002 of 1.5 mg/kg was infused 30 min before middle cerebral artery occlusion), LY294002 + IR + propofol (L + P, LY294002 of 1.5 mg/kg was infused 30 min before middle cerebral artery occlusion and propofol 20 mg/kg/h at the onset of reperfusion for 2 h after 60 min of occlusion). RESULTS Compared with group IR, rats in group P had significant lower neurologic defect scores and infarct volume. Additionally, consistent with enhanced expression of PI3K-AMPAR GluR2 subunit complex substances in ipsilateral hippocampus, GluR2 subunits showed increased levels in both the plasma and postsynaptic membranes of neurons, while pGluR2 expression was reduced in group P. Furthermore, LY294002, the PI3K non-selective antagonist, blocked those effects. CONCLUSION These observations demonstrated that propofol post-conditioning revealed acute neuroprotective role against transient MCAO in rats. The short-term neuroprotective effect was contributed by enhanced GluR2 subunits trafficking to membrane and postsynaptic membranes of neurons, as well as down-regulated the expression of pGluR2 in damaged hippocampus. Finally, the above-mentioned protective mechanism might be contributed by increased combination of PI3K to AMPAR GluR2 subunit, thus maintained the expression and activation of AMPAR GluR2 in the ipsilateral hippocampus.

Evidence for a conditioning effect of inhalational anesthetics on angiographic vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. J Neurosurg 2019; 133:152-158. [PMID: 31200380 DOI: 10.3171/2019.3.jns183512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2018] [Accepted: 03/24/2019] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is characterized by large-artery vasospasm, distal autoregulatory dysfunction, cortical spreading depression, and microvessel thrombi. Large-artery vasospasm has been identified as an independent predictor of poor outcome in numerous studies. Recently, several animal studies have identified a strong protective role for inhalational anesthetics against secondary brain injury after SAH including DCI-a phenomenon referred to as anesthetic conditioning. The aim of the present study was to assess the potential role of inhalational anesthetics against cerebral vasospasm and DCI in patients suffering from an SAH. METHODS After IRB approval, data were collected retrospectively for all SAH patients admitted to the authors' hospital between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2013, who received general anesthesia with either inhalational anesthetics only (sevoflurane or desflurane) or combined inhalational (sevoflurane or desflurane) and intravenous (propofol) anesthetics during aneurysm treatment. The primary outcomes were development of angiographic vasospasm and development of DCI during hospitalization. Univariate and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of these endpoints. RESULTS The cohort included 157 SAH patients whose mean age was 56 ± 14 (± SD). An inhalational anesthetic-only technique was employed in 119 patients (76%), while a combination of inhalational and intravenous anesthetics was employed in 34 patients (22%). As expected, patients in the inhalational anesthetic-only group were exposed to significantly more inhalational agent than patients in the combination anesthetic group (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified inhalational anesthetic-only technique (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.14-0.89), Hunt and Hess grade (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.03-2.22), and diabetes (OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.06-0.55) as significant predictors of angiographic vasospasm. In contradistinction, the inhalational anesthetic-only technique had no significant impact on the incidence of DCI or functional outcome at discharge, though greater exposure to desflurane (as measured by end-tidal concentration) was associated with a lower incidence of DCI. CONCLUSIONS These data represent the first evidence in humans that inhalational anesthetics may exert a conditioning protective effect against angiographic vasospasm in SAH patients. Future studies will be needed to determine whether optimized inhalational anesthetic paradigms produce definitive protection against angiographic vasospasm; whether they protect against other events leading to secondary brain injury after SAH, including microvascular thrombi, autoregulatory dysfunction, blood-brain barrier breakdown, neuroinflammation, and neuronal cell death; and, if so, whether this protection ultimately improves patient outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sevoflurane (sevo) has been reported to be an effective neuroprotective agent in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI). However, the precise molecular mechanism underlying sevo preconditioning in CIRI remains largely unknown. METHODS A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model and primary cortical neurons after oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGDR) were used as the in vivo and in vitro models of CIRI. The expression profiles of miR-181a and X chromosome-linked inhibitor-of-apoptosis protein (XIAP) in the cerebral cortex of rats and in cortical neurons were examined by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The infarct volumes were measured by TTC staining and neurological deficits in rats was determined by Zea-Longa scoring criteria. The cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and apoptotic rate were detected in cortical neurons by MTT assay, LDH analysis and flow cytometry. Western blot analysis was performed to assess the expression of apoptosis-related protein. Luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the interaction between miR-181a and XIAP. RESULTS miR-181a was upregulated and XIAP was downregulated in rats after MCAO. Sevo preconditioning attenuated miR-181a expression and promoted XIAP level in a rat model of CIRI. Sevo preconditioning ameliorated anti-miR-181a-mediated protective effects on cerebral ischemia in rat model of CIRI, presented as the decrease of infarct volume, neurological deficit and apoptosis. Moreover, sevo pretreatment abated miR-181a-induced cellular injury in primary cortical neurons after OGD, embodied by the increase of cell viability, the reduction of LDH release and the decline of apoptosis. Furthermore, miR-181a suppressed XIAP expression by binding to its 3'UTR in cortical neurons, and sevo-mediated increase on XIAP expression was counteracted by miR-181 overexpression in OGDR-treated neurons. CONCLUSION Sevo preconditioning protected against CIRI in vitro and in vivo possibly by inhibiting miR-181a and facilitating XIAP.

Abstract
The objectives of this present work were to review recent developments on the role of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) in the survival of cells under normoxic versus hypoxic and inflammatory brain conditions. The dual nature of HIF effects appears well established, based on the accumulated evidence of HIF playing both the role of adaptive factor and mediator of cell demise. Cellular HIF responses depend on pathophysiological conditions, developmental phase, comorbidities, and administered medications. In addition, HIF-1α and HIF-2α actions may vary in the same tissues. The multiple roles of HIF in stem cells are emerging. HIF not only regulates expression of target genes and thereby influences resultant protein levels but also contributes to epigenetic changes that may reciprocally provide feedback regulations loops. These HIF-dependent alterations in neurological diseases and its responses to treatments in vivo need to be examined alongside with a functional status of subjects involved in such studies. The knowledge of HIF pathways might be helpful in devising HIF-mimetics and modulating drugs, acting on the molecular level to improve clinical outcomes, as exemplified here by clinical and experimental data of selected brain diseases, occasionally corroborated by the data from disorders of other organs. Because of complex role of HIF in brain injuries, prospective therapeutic interventions need to differentially target HIF responses depending on their roles in the molecular mechanisms of neurologic diseases.

Abstract
Stroke is a cerebrovascular circulatory disorder and its high mortality rate represents a prominent threat to human health. Subsequent apoptosis and cytotoxicity are the main causes underlying the poor prognosis. Midazolam (MDZ) is a benzodiazepine drug that is clinically used during surgical procedures and for the treatment of insomnia, with a potential ability to treat stroke. The protective effect of MDZ was investigated on glutamate‑induced cortical neuronal injuries in vitro and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) rat models in vivo. Western blot analysis and semi quantitative RT‑PCR were used to evaluate the potential underlying mechanisms. In vitro studies revealed that MDZ regulated apoptosis‑associated gene expression and inhibited lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, protecting against neuronal damage. In vivo studies revealed that MDZ reduced LDH‑induced neuronal damage by reducing LDH release from the peripheral blood, and brain tissue staining revealed that MDZ protected neurons during tMCAO. MDZ protected neurons under an ischemic environment by inhibiting LDH release and regulating apoptosis‑associated gene expression to reduce cytotoxicity and apoptosis. These results provide a reliable basis for further studies on the effect of MDZ, to improve the prognosis of cerebral infarction.

Estrogen and propofol combination therapy inhibits endoplasmic reticulum stress and remarkably attenuates cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and OGD injury in hippocampus. Biomed Pharmacother 2018; 108:1596-1606. [PMID: 30372862 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2018.09.167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2018] [Revised: 09/27/2018] [Accepted: 09/28/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is vital in inducing apoptosis via caspase-12 and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) apoptotic pathway in the hippocampus after ischemia-reperfusion injury. The study aimed to estimate the efficacy of estrogen and propofol combination therapy against ERS-induced apoptosis after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury in the hippocampus in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was generated by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) strategy with ischemic intervention for 90 min and reperfusion for 24 h. Propofol processing ischemia-reperfusion group (Propofol group) infused 50 mg/kg/h of propofol via the femoral vein at the onset of reperfusion for 30 min. Estrogen processing ischemia-reperfusion group (estrogen group) received 0.0125 mg/kg of estrogen via tail vein at 30 min prior to MCAO. Combination therapy for ischemia-reperfusion group (combination group) received simultaneous processing with propofol and estrogen. In vitro, brain slices were randomly exposed to dimethylsulfoxide (DSMO), 10 μm of propofol, 10 nm of estrogen, or propofol and estrogen. Changes in the orthodromic population spike (OPS) at the end of reoxygenation were recorded. Neurological deficit examination, Nissl staining, and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining were employed to evaluate the level of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The expression of caspase-3, caspase-12, glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), and CHOP were investigated by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining assays. Neural apoptotic rate in hippocampus was detected by the flow cytometry trial. RESULTS Neurological deficit score, infarct volume, the expression of caspase-3 (P < 0.05), caspase-12, GRP78, CHOP, and neural apoptotic rate of I/R group increased markedly (P < 0.01). When obtaining drug treatment, neurological deficit score (P < 0.05), infarct volume, the expression levels of caspase-12 and GRP78, and neural apoptotic rate of the propofol group decreased significantly (P < 0.01). Furthermore, neurological deficit score, infarct volume, expression levels of caspase-3, caspase-12, GRP78, and CHOP (P < 0.05), and neural apoptotic rate decreased in the estrogen group (P < 0.01) and especially in the combination group (P < 0.01). Compared with the propofol group, the neurological deficit score (P < 0.05), infarct volume, caspase-3, caspase-12, GRP78, CHOP, and neural apoptotic rate of the combination group decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with the estrogen group, the infarct volume, caspase-3 (P < 0.05), GRP78, CHOP, and neural apoptotic rate (P < 0.05) of the combination group decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with the propofol group, the infarct volume, caspase-3, caspase-12 (P < 0.05), and GRP78 (P < 0.05) of the estrogen group decreased (P < 0.01). Propofol and estrogen treatment can delay the abolishing time of OPS and increase the recovery rate and amplitude of OPS, compared with OGD group (P < 0.01), especially in the combination therapy (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The neuroprotection of propofol and estrogen combination therapy inhibited excessive ERS-induced apoptosis against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and OGD injury in the hippocampus of rats. Furthermore, the outcomes demonstrated that combination therapy yielded synergistic effects.

Abstract
Stroke occurs when a cerebral blood vessel is blocked or ruptured, and it is the major cause of death and adult disability worldwide. Various pharmacological agents have been developed for the treatment of stroke either through interrupting the molecular pathways leading to neuronal death or enhancing neuronal survival and regeneration. Except for rtPA, few of these agents have succeeded in clinical trials. Recently, with the understanding of the pathophysiological process of stroke, there is a resurrection of research on developing neuroprotective agents for stroke treatment, and novel molecular targets for neuroprotection and neurorestoration have been discovered to predict or offer clinical benefits. Here we review the latest major progress of pharmacological studies in stroke, especially in ischemic stroke; summarize emerging potential therapeutic mechanisms; and highlight recent clinical trials. The aim of this review is to provide a panorama of pharmacological interventions for stroke and bridge basic and translational research to guide the clinical management of stroke therapy.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia and bright light are powerful stress agents that produce an enhanced retinal damage, when simultaneously acting on retina. Previous studies have shown that preconditioning with sevoflurane anesthesia offers a certain degree of protection to retinal cells against light damage. The objective of this study was to explore the effect of sevoflurane anesthetic preconditioning on a model of light-induced retinal degeneration in diabetic rats. Wistar rats that were randomly divided into four groups: control (rats exposed to photostress), group 1 (rats exposed to photostress and sevoflurane preconditioning), group 2 (diabetic rats exposed to photostress), group 3 (diabetic rats exposed to photostress and sevoflurane preconditioning) were used for this experiment. We recorded basal electroretinogram (ERG), at 36 h and 14 days after photostress and performed histological analysis of the retina. Results showed that sevoflurane has a protective effect on light-induced neuroretinal degeneration proved by significantly less variations of the ERG before and after photostress. Diabetes appears to increase the damaging effect of photostress on retina and attenuate the protection provided by sevoflurane preconditioning.

Int J Mol Sci 2017; 18:ijms18112347.

Abstract
The anti-inflammatory actions of sevoflurane postconditioning are suggested as an important mechanism of sevoflurane postconditioning-induced neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia. Here, we determined whether the anti-inflammatory effects of sevoflurane postconditioning were mediated via inhibition of the toll-like receptor (TLR)-4/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway after global transient cerebral ischemia in rats. Forty-five rats were randomly assigned to five groups as follows: (1) control (10 min of ischemia, n = 10); (2) sevoflurane postconditioning (two periods of sevoflurane inhalation after ischemia for 10 min with a wash period of 10 min, n = 10); (3) resatorvid (intraperitoneal injection of a selective TLR-4 antagonist (3 mg/kg) 30 min before ischemia, n = 10); (4) sevoflurane postconditioning plus resatorvid (n = 10), and sham (n = 5). The numbers of necrotic and apoptotic cells in the hippocampal CA1 region, the expression levels of TLR-4, NF-κB, cleaved caspase-3, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in the anterior part of each brain, and the serum levels of TNF-α, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) were assessed 1 day after ischemia. The necrotic cell counts and expression levels of TLR-4, NF-κB, caspase-3, and TNF-α in brain tissue as well as serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) were significantly higher in the control group than in the other groups. Our findings suggest that the anti-inflammatory actions of sevoflurane postconditioning via inactivation of the TLR-4/NF-κB pathway and subsequent reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine production, in part, contribute to sevoflurane postconditioning-induced neuroprotection after global transient cerebral ischemia in rats.
