Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this work, we evaluated the functional role of microRNA-33-5p (miR-33-5p) in regulating bupivacaine (Bv)-induced neural apoptosis in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells. DRG was extracted from adult mice and treated with BV in vitro. A TUNEL assay was applied to assess neural apoptosis among DRG cells. A qRT-PCR assay was applied to assess miR-33-5p expression among BV-treated DRG cells. MiR-33-5p was genetically knocked down in DRG cells. Its effect on BV-induced neural apoptosis was further evaluated by TUNEL assay. Correlation between miR-33-5p and its putative downstream target gene, glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), was assessed by dual-luciferase activity and qRT-PCR assays, respectively. GDNF was then inhibited in miR-33-5p-downregulated DRG cells to further assess its functional regulation in BV-induced neural apoptosis. BV induced significant neural apoptosis, in a dose-dependent manner, in DRG cells in vitro. MiR-33-5p was upregulated by BV treatment, also in a dose-dependent manner in DRG cells. On the other hand, downregulation of miR-33-5p protected BV-induced DRG neural apoptosis. GDNF was shown to be inversely correlated with miR-33-5p in BV-treated DRG cells. Moreover, inhibiting GDNF was able to reverse the protection of miR-33-5p-downregulation on BV-induced DRG neural apoptosis. MiR-33-5p, through its inverse regulation on DGNF gene, modulates anesthesia-induced neural apoptosis in DRG cells.
