Continuous tissue pH and intermittent central arterial pH were measured in six rabbits during 10-min exposures to a mixture of 10% CO2 and 90% O2. In control and recovery situations tissue pH was more acidic than arterial pH by a mean value of 0.07 pH units. During periods of rapidly increasing pCO2, the steady state relationship was inverted with tissue pH being more alkaline than arterial pH. After a second exposure to CO2, mean tissue pH values did not recover to baseline. It is concluded that in the rabbit during acute hypercarbia, the relationship of tissue to central pH is variable. The possible implications of these results in human fetuses during labor are discussed.

Recent advances in small-joint arthroscopy and cutting-edge magnetic resonance imaging systems have enabled orthopedic surgeons to perform more complex repairs of the wrist. Such repairs can include those of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) of the wrist that necessitates a reappraisal of its morphometry with special emphasis on the relationship between its articular disc (AD) and surrounding tissues. The TFCC AD is a fibrocartilaginous, biconcave structure located between the ulnar styloid process and the carpal bones of the wrist.

Exposure to ionizing radiation during manned deep space missions to Mars could lead to functional impairments of the central nervous system, which may compromise the success of the mission and affect the quality of life for returning astronauts. Along with radiation-induced changes in cognitive abilities and emotional status, the effects of increased motor activity were observed. The mechanisms behind these phenomena still remain unresolved.

Background: Currently, there is limited research on the impact of abdominal infection on intestinal damage under microgravity conditions. Cordyceps polysaccharide (CPS), the main active ingredient of Cordyceps, has demonstrated various pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. Moxifloxacin (MXF) is a fourth-generation quinolone antibiotic that is believed to have a dual regulatory effect on immune system activation and suppression.
