This study utilised the selective 5-ht(5A) receptor antagonist, SB-699551-A (3-cyclopentyl-N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-N-[(4'-{[(2-phenylethyl)amino]methyl}-4-biphenylyl)methyl]propanamide dihydrochloride), to investigate 5-ht5A receptor function in guinea pig brain. SB-699551-A competitively antagonised 5-HT-stimulated [35S]GTPgammaS binding to membranes from human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells transiently expressing the guinea pig 5-ht5A receptor (pA2 8.1+/-0.1) and displayed 100-fold selectivity versus the serotonin transporter and those 5-HT receptor subtypes (5-HT(1A/B/D), 5-HT2A/C and 5-HT7) reported to modulate central 5-HT neurotransmission in the guinea pig. In guinea pig dorsal raphe slices, SB-699551-A (1 microM) did not alter neuronal firing per se but attenuated the 5-CT-induced depression in serotonergic neuronal firing in a subpopulation of cells insensitive to the 5-HT1A receptor-selective antagonist WAY-100635 (100 nM). In contrast, SB-699551-A (100 or 300 nM) failed to affect both electrically-evoked 5-HT release and 5-CT-induced inhibition of evoked release measured using fast cyclic voltammetry in vitro. SB-699551-A (0.3, 1 and 3 mg/kg s.c.) did not modulate extracellular levels of 5-HT in the guinea pig frontal cortex in vivo. However, when administered in combination with WAY-100635 (0.3 mg/kg s.c.), SB-699551-A (0.3, 1 or 3 mg/kg s.c.) produced a significant increase in extracellular 5-HT levels. These studies provide evidence for an autoreceptor role for the 5-ht5A receptor in guinea pig brain.

Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a kind of acquired sensorineural hearing loss and has shown an increasing incidence in recent years. Hence, elucidating the exact pathophysiological mechanisms and proposing effective treatment and prevention methods become the top priority. Though a great number of researches have been carried out on NIHL, few of them were focused on metabolites.

Background: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a common cosmetic concern, often leading to significant psychological distress for the patients. With the widespread application of lasers including ablative fractional resurfacing (AFR) with a 10,600 nm CO laser, PIH caused by lasers is becoming increasingly common. But due to the absence of an appropriate animal research model, our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and preventive strategies for PIH remains limited.

Tinnitus, a widespread condition affecting numerous individuals worldwide, remains a significant challenge due to limited effective therapeutic interventions. Intriguingly, patients using cochlear implants (CIs) have reported significant relief from tinnitus symptoms, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear and intracochlear implantation risks cochlear damage and hearing loss. This study demonstrates that targeted intracochlear electrical stimulation (ES) in guinea pigs with noise-induced hearing loss reversed tinnitus-related maladaptive plasticity in the cochlear nucleus (CN), characterized by reduced auditory innervation, increased somatosensory innervation, and diminished inhibitory neural networks.

The order Rodentia comprises nearly 45% of all extant taxa, currently organized into 31 living families, some 450 genera, and roughly 2010 species (Kelt & Patton, 2020). Considering that rodents began evolving at least 66 million years ago, it is not surprising that they have diversified into five distinct suborders. With the advent of molecular biology, this difference can often be seen at the molecular level as well.

Hypothesis: Extracochlear electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) between the round window membrane and the basal part of the cochlear bone exhibits distinct auditory brainstem response (ABR) characteristics.
Background: The use of EAS in individuals with residual hearing is becoming increasingly common in clinical settings. Ongoing research has explored the characteristics of EAS-induced responses in hearing cochleae.
