| Abstract |
It has been demonstrated that preconditioning with 1.5 % isoflurane reduces hypoxia/ischemia (HI)-induced brain loss/injury in neonatal rats. Ca(2+) influx mediated by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid receptors (AMPARs) is involved in HI-induced neuronal death. Here, we investigated the effective concentrations and time windows for neuroprotection by isoflurane postconditioning in neonatal rats after brain HI and determined whether GluR2-containing AMPARs mediate this neuroprotection. Seven-day-old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into eight groups (n = 40 in each). The rats underwent left common carotid arterial ligation (brain HI) or sham surgery, followed by exposure to 8 % oxygen for 2 h at 37 °C in a thermoregulated environment. Post-conditioning with 1, 1.5, or 2 % isoflurane for 30 min was performed immediately after brain HI. Others were post-treated with 1.5 % isoflurane for 30 min at 3, 6, and 12 h after brain HI. The weight ratio, neuronal density ratio in the ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus, and retrosplenial granular cortex of left to right cerebral hemispheres at 7 days after brain HI were evaluated in all groups. Cerebral hemispheres were harvested for Western-blot analysis of GluR2 on the cellular membranes 24 h after HI or sham surgery in neonatal rats from the sham group, the HI group, and the HI + immediate exposure to the 1.5 % isoflurane group. In another experiment, the function of learning and memory were assessed in adolescence (4 weeks) using Morris water maze. Compared with the control (sham) group, brain HI decreased the weight ratio and the neuronal density ratio in the ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus and the retrosplenial granular cortex of the left to right cerebral hemispheres (p < 0.05). These effects of brain HI were reduced by postconditioning with 1.5 or 2 % isoflurane for 30 min within 6 h of HI, which coincided with the results of Morris water maze. GluR2 protein expression on cellular membranes was reduced after HI compared with sham surgery group (p < 0.05); this down-regulation was attenuated by isoflurane postconditioning. Postconditioning with 1.5 and 2 % isoflurane affords neuroprotection in neonatal rats. The time window for isoflurane postconditioning to be effective against neonatal HI-induced brain injury was 0-6 h after HI. This protection may be mediated by GluR2-containing AMPARs. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 January 2016.
All research outputs
#20,303,950
of 22,842,950 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Anesthesia
#688
of 812 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#333,353
of 396,496 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Anesthesia
#16
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,842,950 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 812 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 396,496 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
