Dexmedetomidine (Dex) plays protective effects on brain ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, but its mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether Dex protects neurons against I/R injury by activating SIRT3 mediated autophagy. The oxygen glucose deprivation-reperfusion (OGD/R) model was constructed in HT22 cells.

Thus, it's crucial to seek for effective intervention to improve the muscle regeneration. Tid1, a mitochondrial co-chaperone, is important to maintain mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP synthesis.

Fentanyl is a commonly utilized anesthetic during the process of tumor resection, and exhibits inhibitory effects on the progression of numerous cancer types, including pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer and gastric cancer. However, the effects of fentanyl on the cell viability and invasion of NSCLC has not been investigated.

Methods: Mouse DRG neurons were cultured in vitro and treated with bupivacaine to establish a neurotoxicity model. Caspase3 activity, cell viability, and TUNEL assays were analyzed to assess the role of lincRNA PADNA.
Krüppel-homolog 1 (Kr-h1), a zinc-finger transcription factor, inhibits larval metamorphosis and promotes adult reproduction by transducing juvenile hormone (JH). Although the transcriptional regulation of has been extensively studied, little is known about its regulation at the post-transcriptional level. Using the migratory locust as a model system, we report here that the microRNAs let-7 and miR-278 bound to the coding sequence and downregulated its expression.
