Outline of Final Research Achievements

The elucidation of the immobilization mechanisms of the anesthetic agent in the spinal cord is important. However, the mechanisms in the ventral horn neurons is not clear. Furthermore, the protection mechanisms of the anesthetic agent for spinal cord ischemia is unknown. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the mechanisms of the anesthetic agent in the ventral horn neurons. Nitrous oxide inhibited the glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic currents in the ventral horn neurons. In contrast, the volatile anesthetics increased the gamma-aminobutyric acid mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents. Furthermore, both of nitrous oxide and the volatile anesthetics extended the time before leading to cell death during the spinal cord ischemia. Thereby, we found that these anesthetic agents had ischemia-resistant effects in ventral horn neurons.
