Outline of Final Research Achievements

Ii is well known that anesthetic exposure induces neural apoptosis and degeneration in neonatal immature brain, resulted in behavioral disorder and decline of learning ability after growth. We examined whether sevoflurane anesthesia with or without additional oxygen induce neuronal apoptosis and long-term cognitive dysfunction in neonatal rats. 3% sevoflurane exposure for long hours with low oxygen increased caspase positive cells in cortex and hippocampus and impaired the long-term cognitive function in neonatal rats. Moreover, the administration of dexmedetomidine or erythropoietin improved the spatial memory, and increased the normal cells in the brain 6 weeks after anesthesia exposure. In addition, sevoflurane exposure attenuated the long-term potentiation of CA1 cells in 6 weeks aged rats.
