Article Abstract
This study aimed to establish a complete atlas of retinal cells in lens-induced myopia (LIM) and electroacupuncture (EA) intervention by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and to explore the potential mechanism of EA in improving experimental myopia progression in guinea pigs. scRNA-seq is used to assess changes in individual cellular gene levels in the retina of LIM- and EA-treated guinea pigs. In addition, the role of EA in slowing myopia progression by improving retinal mitochondrial function is further investigated. scRNA-seq identified ten cell clusters in the retina of LIM and EA guinea pigs and mitochondrial respiratory chain-related genes in Cones and Muller-glia cells-Cytochrome oxidase subunit III (COX3), NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4), and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) are closely related to lens-induced myopia. A comprehensive atlas in the retina of LIM and EA guinea pigs at a single-cell level is established, and the positive role of EA in improving retinal mitochondrial function to slow the experimental myopia progression in guinea pigs is revealed.

Gestational hypoxia increases brain-blood barrier permeability in the neonatal cerebral cortex of Guinea pigs.

Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) causes an adaptive redistribution of the cardiac output towards sustained cerebral vasodilation. However, the consequences of FGR and cerebral vasodilatation due to fetal hypoxia on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are still poorly studied. This study assesses BBB permeability in the neonatal cortex of pups gestated under intrauterine hypobaric hypoxia.

The high prevalence and drug resistance of superficial fungal infections (SFIs) pose a serious global public health challenge, urgently necessitating the development of novel antifungal drugs with unique structures and novel targets. Evodiamine derivatives are promising antifungal drug leads, yet they suffer from suboptimal activity and unclear action mechanisms. In this study, a series of N(14)-phenyl evodiamine derivatives were designed, synthesized and tested for their biological activities.

The low dose dexamethasone stimulation test (LDDST) is routinely used in canine medicine but in the few cases in guinea pigs diagnosed with hypercortisolism, the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test was used. The objective of the authors was to conduct a pilot study and find out if the standard test used in dogs can be used in this species.A 4-year-old intact female hairless guinea pig showed bilaterally enlarged adrenal glands and high cortisol levels.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and underlying mechanism of advanced optimal pulse technology intense pulsed light (AOPT) in low-energy triple-pulse long-width mode (AOPT-LTL) for melasma treatment.
Methods: An in vivo guinea pig model of melasma was established through progesterone injection and ultraviolet B radiation. Three sessions of AOPT-LTL treatment were performed weekly.

Early sensory experience can exert lasting perceptual consequences. For example, a brief period of auditory deprivation early in life can lead to persistent spatial hearing deficits. Some forms of hearing loss (i.
