The advent of contemporary proteomic technologies has ushered in definite advances to the field of auditory research and has provided the potential for a dramatic increase in applications in the near future. Two dimensional-differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) followed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), antibody microarrays and tandem mass spectrometry have evolved as the major tools. Each of these techniques has unique features with distinct advantages. This review attempts to highlight the common as well as diverse characteristics of these methods and their suitability and application to different experimental conditions employed to investigate the auditory system. In addition a glimpse of the valuable scientific information that has been gained in the hearing field using a proteomic approach is given. Finally, a brief view of the directions that auditory proteomics research is headed for has been discussed.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe anxiety disorder that affects women more than men. About 30% of patients suffering from PTSD develop the disorder by witnessing a traumatic event happen to someone else. However, as the focus has remained on those directly experiencing the traumatic event, whether indirectly acquired fear memories that underlie PTSD have the same molecular signature as those that are directly acquired remains unknown.

Background: Gait initiation (GI) can be divided into three sections according to the center of pressure (COP) trace (S1, S2, and S3). Almost all studies do not separate each phase of the GI profile in postural control assessment and muscular investigation, whereas differences in the COP and muscles are found in each phase of the GI profile in people with gait problems.
Methods: Twenty individuals with CAI and twenty healthy controls were included in the present study.

Repeated low-intensity noise exposure is prevalent in industrialized societies. It has long been considered risk-free until recent evidence suggests that the temporary threshold shift (TTS) induced by such exposure might be a high-risk factor for hearing loss. This study was conducted to further investigate the manner in which repeated low-intensity noise exposure contributed to hearing damage.

Psychological stress can lead to emotional disorders, such as anxiety and depression; however, the underlying mechanisms are complicated and remain unclear. In this study, we established a mouse psychological stress model using an improved communication box, in which the psychologically stressed mice received visual, auditory, and olfactory emotional stimuli from the mice receiving electric foot shock, thus avoiding physical stress interference. After the 14-day psychological stress paradigm, our mice exhibited a significant increase in depressive and anxious behaviors.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) act as a critical mediator in intercellular communication. Compared to sEVs derived from in vitro sources, tissue-derived sEVs can reflect the in vivo signals released from specific tissues more accurately. Currently, studies on the role of sEVs in the cochlea have relied on studying sEVs from in vitro sources.
