Effect of dipolar-angle on phospholipid assembly [PDF]
We report the effect of lipid head-group dipole orientation on phase behaviour of phospholipid assembly. The work explains molecular-scale mechanism of ion-lipid, anesthetic-lipid interactions where reorientation of dipoles play important role in membrane potential modification. Molecular Dynamics simulations are performed to analyse structure-property

Effects of remifentanil and propofol on distant organ lung injury in an ischemia–reperfusion model
Our aim was to evaluate lung injury due to oxidative stress and antioxidant activity levels in an infrarenal ischemia–reperfusion model and to compare prevention effects of single and combined use of propofol and remifentanil.

Macaque's Cortical Functional Connectivity Dynamics at the Onset of Propofol-Induced Anesthesia [PDF]
Propofol, when administered for general anesthesia, induces oscillatory dynamic brain states that are thought to underlie the drug's pharmacological effects. Despite the elucidation of propofol's mechanisms of action at the molecular level, its effects on neural circuits and overall cortical functioning, which eventually lead to unconsciousness, are ...

Vibrational Infrared Lifetime of the Anesthetic nitrous oxide gas in solution [PDF]
The lifetime of the asymmetric fundamental stretching 2218 cm$^{-1}$ vibration of the anesthetic gas nitrous oxide (N$_2$O) dissolved in octanol and olive oil is reported. These solvents are model systems commonly used to assess anesthetic potency. Picosecond time-scale molecular dynamics simulations have suggested that protein dynamics or membrane ...

Mechanism of Anesthetic Action: Oxygen Pathway Perturbation Hypothesis [PDF]
Although more than 150 years have past since the discovery of general anesthetics, how they precisely work remains a mystery. We propose a novel unitary mechanism of general anesthesia verifiable by experiments. In the proposed mechanism, general anesthetics perturb oxygen pathways in both membranes and oxygen-utilizing proteins such that the ...
