Objective : Transient anterograde amnesia is occasionally observed in a number of conditions, including migraine, focal ischemia, venous flow abnormalities, and after general anesthesia. The inhalation anesthetic, isoflurane, is known to induce transient anterograde amnesia. We examined the involvement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) in the underlying mechanisms of the isoflurane-induced transient anterograde amnesia. Methods : Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups : the control group, the 10 minutes after recovery from isoflurane anesthesia group, and the 2 hours after recovery from isoflurane anesthesia group (n=8 in each group). The rats in the isoflurane-exposed groups were anesthetized with 1.2% isoflurane in 75% nitrous oxide and 25% oxygen for 2 hours in a Plexiglas anesthetizing chamber. Short-term memory was determined using the step-down avoidance task. BDNF and TrkB expressions in the hippocampus were evaluated by immunofluorescence staining and western blot analysis. Results : Latency in the step-down avoidance task was decreased 10 minutes after recovery from isoflurane anesthesia, whereas it recovered to the control level 2 hours after isoflurane anesthesia. The expressions of BDNF and TrkB in the hippocampus were decreased immediately after isoflurane anesthesia but were increased 2 hours after isoflurane anesthesia. Conclusion : In this study, isoflurane anesthesia induced transient anterograde amnesia, and the expressions of BDNF and TrkB in the hippocampus might be involved in the underlying mechanisms of this transient anterograde amnesia.

Isoflurane and enflurane are currently used on orthognathic surgery in Korea. Since starting to use enflurane and isoflurane in orthognathic surgery, we have questioned their effect on liver function. Many studies have reported liver function after enflurane and isoflurane anesthesia. Although both enflurane and isoflurane are less hepatotoxic than halothane, some cases of liver dysfunction have been reported after enflurane and isoflurane anesthesia. And, we know that isoflurane is less hepatotoxic than its predecessors, enflurane. But, fulminant liver failure and necrosis were also reported after isoflurane anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to compare immediate liver function in healthy orthognathic surgical patients receiving enflurane or isoflurane anesthesia. To assess the effect of enflurane and isoflurane on liver function, we measured pre-and post-operative serum concentrations of aspartate aminotransferase(AST), and alanine aminotransferase(ALT), alkaline phosphatase(ALP), total bilirubin(Tbil).

The sleep homeostatic response significantly affects the state of anesthesia. In addition, sleep recovery may occur during anesthesia, either via a natural sleep-like process to occur or via a direct restorative effect. Little is known about the effects of isoflurane anesthesia on sleep homeostasis. We investigated whether 1) isoflurane anesthesia could provide a sleep-like process, and 2) the depth of anesthesia could differently affect the post-anesthesia sleep response. Nine rats were treated for 2 hours with $ad$ $libitum$ sleep (Control), sleep deprivation (SD), and isoflurane anesthesia with delta-wave- predominant state (ISO-1) or burst suppression pattern-predominant state (ISO-2) with at least a 1-week interval. Electroencephalogram and electromyogram were recorded and sleep-wake architecture was evaluated for 4 hours after each treatment. In the post-treatment period, the duration of transition to slow-wave-sleep decreased but slow wave sleep (SWS) increased in the SD group, but no sleep stages were significantly changed in ISO-1 and ISO-2 groups compared to Control. Different levels of anesthesia did not significantly affect the post-anesthesia sleep responses, but the deep level of anesthesia significantly delayed the latency to sleep compared to Control. The present results indicate that a natural sleep-like process likely occurs during isoflurane anesthesia and that the post-anesthesia sleep response occurs irrespective to the level of anesthesia.

본 연구는 비글견에서의 마취 효과에 있어서 isoflurane과 병용시에 두가지 opioid 약물을 비교, 아이소플루란/레미펜타닐과 아이소플루란/펜타닐 조합의 마취간의 차이를 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. Isoflurane은 0.5 MAC으로 유지하고, opioid 약물은 등속으로 정맥 주입하였다. 각 개체에서 마취를 2시간 동안 유지한 뒤, isoflurane과 opioid 약물을 중단하고서 안구가 제 위치를 찾는 시간(eye global positioning time), 연하 반사가 나타나는 시간(gag reflex time), 머리를 드는 시간(head up time), 엎드림 자세가 나타나는 시간(sternal recumbency time), 서는 시간(standing time), 걷는 시간(walking time), 그리고 마취에서 완전히 회복된 시간(complete recovery time)을 기록하였다. 두가지 조합 모두 전 과정에 걸쳐 양호한 마취상태를 유지함과 동시에 빠를 회복 시간을 보여 비글견의 마취에 적합하였다. 한편, 회복 시간에 있어 아이소플루란/레미펜타닐 조합은 아이소플루란/펜타닐 조합에 비해 그 변동 계수가 낮아 좀 더 신뢰할 만한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 환자의 중등도가 높고, 안정적인 회복이 요구될 때에는 아이소플루란/레미펜타닐 조합의 마취가 더 좋은 선택일 것으로 생각된다.

이 연구는 비글 견에서 산화스트레스에 대한 서로 다른 마취 방법의 효과를 평가했다. 10마리 견들을 무작위로 medetomidine과 tiletamine/zolazepam(MTZ) combination(그룹 T, 40 ${\mu}g/kg$ medetomidine and 2 mg/kg tiletamine/zolazepam, IM)을 사용한 근육주사 그룹 또는 Isoflurane(그룹 I, 2% isoflurane and 100% oxygen)을 사용한 휘발성 마취 그룹으로 나누었다. Vital sign으로 심박수, 호흡수, 직장체온과 oxidative stress로 superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx)를 측정했다. SOD activity는 두 그룹에서 마취 후 기준 값으로부터 유의성 있게 감소하였다 ($p$ < 0.05). CAT와 GPx activity 또한 마취 후 두 그룹 사이에서 유의성이 있었다 ($p$ < 0.05). CAT activity는 두 그룹에서 마취 후 기준 값으로부터 유의성 있게 감소하였으나, 그룹 I에서는 마취 후 그룹 T의 그것과 비교 시 유의성 있게 높았다 ($p$ < 0.05). 그리고 그룹 T에서 GPx activity는 마취 후 기준 값으로부터 유의성 있 게 감소하였으나, 그룹 I에서는 마취종료 후 1 시간이 되었을 때 그룹 T의 그것과 비교 시 유의성 있게 높았다 ($p$ < 0.05). 결론적으로, 비글 견에서 전신 마취는 산화 스트레스를 유발시키는 경향이 있었으며, isoflurane의 휘발성 마취는 산화 손상을 감소시켰다.

To compare cardiopulmonary effects and recovery between total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol (PRO group, n=5) and volatile induction/maintenance anesthesia (VIMA) with isoflurane (ISO group, n=5), we investigated changes of heart rate, $SpO_2$, arterial pressure, rectal temperature and respiratory rate during 60 minute anesthesia and 40 minute recovery period in beagle dogs, and investigated recovery (extubation, head lift, sternal position and righting) after 60 minute anesthesia. Rectal temperature was significantly low in ISO group (p<0.05) from 10 to 100 minute. Heart rate was significantly low in ISO group (p<0.05) at 40, 50, 60 minute. Respiratory rate was significantly low in PRO group (p<0.05) at induction and 70 minute. $SpO_2$ tendency was similar. Systolic arterial pressure (SAP) was significantly low in ISO group (p<0.05) at induction and during anesthesia. Recovery was similar in two groups. We concluded that TIVA with propofol is useful in stabilizing rectal temperature and arterial pressure during anesthesia and provide fast and stable recovery.

This study investigated the effects of vitamin C on oxidative stress induced by volatile anesthetics in pigs. One group of pigs was used as an anesthesia control group (group 1), and they were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen and saline (0.9% NaCl) was injected intravenously. The other group (group 2) was anesthetized with isoflurane and injected intravenously with vitamin C. Total oxidant status, total antioxidant status, and the oxidative stress index in group 2 were significantly different compared with those in group 1. The results showed that intravenous administration of vitamin C decreased oxidative stress during isoflurane anesthesia in pigs.

Specialized hearing tests for pets are currently in demand. A brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) test is an objective, non-invasive, and practical electrophysiological method that records electric signals from the peripheral auditory system to the brainstem when an auditory stimulation is provided. In veterinary medicine, sedation or anesthesia is essential for a successful examination. In human medicine, research has established the indications for various sedatives, anesthetics, and drugs according to the depth of anesthesia required. However, in veterinary medicine, there are very few comparative studies on propofol or isoflurane, which are the most common anesthetics used. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the difference in BAER test results between sedation with medetomidine, anesthesia using propofol, and inhalation anesthesia with isoflurane after propofol administration. The test was conducted on four healthy adult dogs. There was no statistically significant difference in latency, interpeak latency, or amplitude between the various drugs. The results suggest that a sedative or anesthetic for the administration of a BAER test can be selected according to the patient's needs.

Our previous study on monitoring cerebral oxygenation with a variation of isoflurane concentration in a rat model showed that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) signals have potential as a new depth of anesthesia (DOA) index. However, that study obtained results from the brain in a completely invasive way, which is inappropriate for clinical application. Therefore, in this follow-up study, it was investigated whether the NIRS signals measured in a minimally invasive model including the skull and cerebrospinal fluid layer (CSFL) are similar to the previous study used as a gold standard. The experimental method was the same as the previous study, and only the subject model was different. We continuously collected NIRS signals before, during, and after isoflurane anesthesia. The isoflurane concentration started at 2.5% (v/v) and decreased to 1.0% by 0.5% every 5 min. The results showed a positive linear correlation between isoflurane concentration and ratio of reflectance intensity (RRI) increase, which is based on NIRS signals. This indicates that the quality of NIRS signals passed through the skull and CSFL in the minimally invasive model is as good as the signal obtained directly from the brain. Therefore, we believe that the results of this study can be easily applied to clinics as a potential indicator to monitor DOA.
