Article Synopsis
  • Alcohol and tobacco are teratogens that can affect neurodevelopment, but this study also considers lower exposure levels and socio-ecological factors like socioeconomic resources (SER) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
  • The study involved 313 mother-child pairs and assessed various factors including maternal education, household income, PAE, and PTE, using both self-reports and neuroimaging techniques on children aged 8-11.
  • Results showed that higher SER correlated with fewer ACEs and that prenatal tobacco exposure partially mediated the impact of SER on ACEs; different brain volumes were also linked to SER and exposure levels to tobacco during pregnancy.

Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) interferes with neurodevelopment. The brain is particularly susceptible to the adverse consequences of prenatal alcohol exposure, and numerous studies have documented changes to brain anatomy and function, as well as consequences for cognition, behavior, and mental health. Studies in typically developing individuals have shown that the brain undergoes dynamic developmental processes over an individual's lifespan.

Objective: To investigate the effects of dezocine on pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) and Ramsay sedation scores in patients undergoing Nuss procedures (minimally invasive surgery for repairing pectus excavatum).

Methods: Altogether, 100 patients with pectus excavatum who underwent Nuss procedures in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into group A (n=50) and group B (n=50). General anesthesia was carried out for each patient, with an anaesthetic of sufentanil for group A, and dezocine plus sufentanil for group B.

The mechanism of sevoflurane preconditioning-induced neuroprotection is poorly understood. This study was aimed at identifying microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in the protective effect of sevoflurane preconditioning against hypoxic injury using the miRCURYTM LNA Array. The screened differentially expressed miRNAs were further validated using qRT-PCR.
