Effects of spaceflight environment on the intestinal homeostasis and the mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine intervention
[Journal Article]GAO Heqi, YIN Yishu, MIAO Fangjing et al.-Space Medicine & Medical Engineering2025, No.06

Abstract:This study investigates the impact of microgravity,radiation,and psychological stress during spaceflight on human intestinal health,with a particular focus on how these factors can lead to adverse outcomes by disrupting the mechanisms of intestinal homeostasis.As a crucial barrier between the body and the external environment,the intestine's function,if compromised,may trigger"leaky gut syndrome,"thereby increasing the risk of infections and systemic inflammation.The space environment significantly alters the composition of the intestinal microbiota,and these changes may further affect the host's metabolic processes,immune regulation,and the normal functioning of the nervous system.Additionally,this paper explores traditional Chinese medicine as a potential intervention strategy,which can help mitigate the challenges posed by the space environment on intestinal health by restoring the stability of the intestinal microecology,enhancing the integrity of the intestinal barrier,and modulating immune mechanisms.

Comparative analysis of the effects of acute hypobaric hypoxia and atmospheric hypoxia on the human body
[Journal Article]JI Yaoxuan, HUANG Zheng, XU Mohan et al.-Space Medicine & Medical Engineering2025, No.06

Abstract:Objective To compare the effects of two hypoxia endurance tests and experiences on physiological functions and cognitive abilities,and to provide a reference for choosing appropriate hypoxia endurance training methods.Methods Seven male participants,mainly students of this school,with a mean age of 20.5 years,were subjected to acute high-altitude hypoxia via exposure to a hypobaric chamber and a hypoxic gas mixture.Data on blood oxygen saturation,heart rate,blood pressure,and neurological function were systematically collected.Results Both hypoxic exposures resulted in a decrease in oxygen saturation,a compensatory increase in heart rate and blood pressure,and a decline in cognitive ability.After 15 minutes of hypoxia at 3000 m,the blood oxygen saturation was stable at 90%,and the heart rate was stable at 80 times per minute;after 15 minutes of hypoxia at 5000 m,the blood oxygen saturation was stable at 80%,the heart rate of hypobaric hypoxia was stabilized at 90 times per minute,and the heart rate of normobaric hypoxia was stabilized at 85 times per minute.Blood pressure had a tendency to increase during hypoxia,but the change was not obvious.Hypoxia exposure at 3000 m had little effect on work ability,and the values of mental arithmetic,graph memory and curve matching ability decreased significantly after two hours of hypoxia(P<0.05);hypoxia exposure at 5000 m had greater effect on work ability,and the values of five neurological function tests decreased significantly after two hours of hypoxia(P<0.05).Conclusion Both types of hypoxic exposure led to decreased blood oxygen saturation and corresponding increases in heart rate and blood pressure as compensatory mechanisms.There were no significant differences in physiological and cognitive performance between normobaric hypoxia training and hypobaric hypoxia training.Each method possesses distinct advantages,and the appropriate approach can be selected based on the specific training environment to optimize the high-altitude physiological training for pilots.

[Journal Article]LIU Min, GONG Xianwen, LI Nailiang et al.-Space Medicine & Medical Engineering2025, No.06

Abstract:Overweight environments have many impacts on human physiology,emotions,and cognitive functions.The overweight environment of manned lunar landing and deep space exploration missions is more complex,which puts higher demands on the psychological quality and operational ability of astronauts.In order to objectively and accurately evaluate human efficacy in overweight environments,an artificial neural network Back Propagation(BP algorithm)was used to construct an efficacy evaluation model based on human physiology,emotions,and cognitive abilities in overweight environments.After verification and comparison,a four-layer artificial neural network with 2 hidden layers,29 input nodes,and 1 output node was ultimately selected.The model accuracy of the experimental sample reached 93.55%,and the accuracy after data augmentation reached 98.3%.This model can achieve automated evaluation of subjects in overweight environments,reduce the need for subjective evaluation by experts,weaken the dependence on subjective judgments of main subjects,and provide more comprehensive and accurate quantitative evaluation of human abilities in overweight environments.It provides technical support for the subsequent use of artificial intelligence technology to establish an auxiliary decision-making system for overweight main subjects/main officials.Subsequently,an efficacy evaluation model based on human physiology,emotions,and cognitive abilities in overweight environments can be constructed,and an auxiliary decision-making system for overweight experiments/bishops can be established using artificial intelligence technology.Provide support for more efficient and accurate selection,training,or identification of overweight astronauts and pilots.

A resting-state functional magnetic resonance study on the changes in brain function of fighter pilots after exposure to hypoxia
[Journal Article]LIANG Minglong, XU Jianhua, ZHU Jinwang et al.-Space Medicine & Medical Engineering2025, No.06

Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of acute hypoxia on brain function and cognitive ability in fighter pilots using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)combined with a simulated hypoxia experiment.Methods A total of 60 healthy fighter pilots undergoing recuperation at a designated unit from June 2022 to October 2023 were selected.Hypoxia at an altitude of 5 000 m was simulated by having the participants inhale a hypoxic gas mixture with an oxygen concentration of 11.1%.Neuropsychological assessment results and brain functional imaging data before and after hypoxia exposure were compared and analyzed.Results Neuropsychological tests showed that after hypoxia exposure,the pilots'accuracy per unit time in the Spatial Rotation Test(P=0.01)and the Two-Dimensional Digit Search Test(P<0.01)decreased significantly,indicating impaired spatial imagination and information-processing abilities.Other cognitive dimensions(such as spatial orientation and learning ability)showed no significant changes.Rs-fMRI analysis revealed that after hypoxia exposure,regional homogeneity(ReHo)decreased in the bilateral superior frontal gyri,while ReHo increased in the primary visual cortex(bilateral calcarine cortex).Global functional connectivity density(FCD)analysis showed that FCD values in core regions of the default mode network(bilateral posterior cingulate cortex and precuneus)decreased significantly.Correlation analysis further indicated that the decline in spatial imagination ability was positively correlated with reduced FCD in the precuneus(r=0.57,P<0.01),suggesting that this brain region plays a key role in spatial cognition.Conclusion Hypoxia exposure impairs specific cognitive functions in pilots by weakening local and global connectivity in higher-order cognitive brain areas while inducing compensatory enhancement in vision-related regions.These findings provide imaging evidence for understanding the neural mechanisms underlying behavioral abnormalities in pilots under hypoxic conditions,which has important implications for optimizing flight training,improving protective measures,and ensuring aviation safety.

[Journal Article]Chen Junli, Zhao Xiaohui, Chen Pu et al.-Space Medicine & Medical Engineering2025, No.05

Abstract:Objective To investigate the nutritional quality characteristics of vitamin D3-fortified yogurt and explore its improving effect on vitamin D metabolism in the body under simulated weightlessness,thereby providing a theoretical basis for the development of functional foods.Methods Using reconstituted milk as the matrix and Vitamin D3(VD3)microcapsule powder as the fortifier,VD3-fortified yogurt was prepared.A systematic study was conducted to investigate the effects of different gradients(1.25 μg/100 mL,2.50 μg/100 mL,3.75 μg/100 mL,5.00 μg/100 mL,6.25 μg/100 mL)of VD3 microcapsule addition on its quality characteristics(titratable acidity,solid content,water-holding capacity,syneresis).In vivo assessments were conducted using a Sprague-Dawley(SD)rat tail-suspension model to simulate weightlessness.Levels in serum 25(OH)D3,1,25-(OH)2D3,calcium(Ca),and phosphorus(P)were detected using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)to evaluate its metabolic capacity.Results During fermentation(3 h),titratable acidity of VD₃-fortified yogurt initially increased,then decreased,and eventually stabilized with rising microcapsule dosage,while total solid content remained consistent.WHC exhibited an initial increase followed by a decline,whereas syneresis showed an inverse trend.At an optimal dosage of 3.75 μg/100 mL,the yogurt displayed a dense and uniform network structure,characterized by non-Newtonian fluid behavior with shear-thinning properties.This formulation demonstrated robust structural stability under high-frequency mechanical stress,alongside desirable textural,flavor,and sensory attributes.Animal experiments revealed that the serum concentrations of 25(OH)D3,1,25-(OH)2D3,calcium,and phosphorus in the vitamin D₃-fortified yogurt intervention group were significantly higher than those in the tail-suspended control group(P<0.05).Conclusion VD₃ microencapsulation technology effectively preserves and enhances the nutritional quality characteristics of yogurt and mitigates vitamin D metabolic dysregulation under simulated weightlessness.
