As China accelerates its efforts in deep space exploration and long-duration space missions, including the operationalization of the Tiangong Space Station and the development of manned lunar missions, safeguarding astronauts’ physiological and cognitive functions under extreme space conditions becomes a pressing scientific imperative. Among the multifactorial stressors of spaceflight, microgravity emerges as a particularly potent disruptor of neurobehavioral homeostasis. Dopamine (DA) plays a central role in regulating behavior under space microgravity by influencing reward processing, motivation, executive function and sensorimotor integration. Changes in gravity disrupt dopaminergic signaling at multiple levels, leading to impairments in motor coordination, cognitive flexibility, and emotional stability. Microgravity exposure induces a cascade of neurobiological changes that challenge dopaminergic stability at multiple levels: from the transcriptional regulation of DA synthesis enzymes and the excitability of DA neurons, to receptor distribution dynamics and the efficiency of downstream signaling pathways. These changes involve downregulation of tyrosine hydroxylase in the substantia nigra, reduced phosphorylation of DA receptors, and alterations in vesicular monoamine transporter expression, all of which compromise synaptic DA availability. Experimental findings from space analog studies and simulated microgravity models suggest that gravitational unloading alters striatal and mesocorticolimbic DA circuitry, resulting in diminished motor coordination, impaired vestibular compensation, and decreased cognitive flexibility. These alterations not only compromise astronauts’ operational performance but also elevate the risk of mood disturbances and motivational deficits during prolonged missions. The review systematically synthesizes current findings across multiple domains: molecular neurobiology, behavioral neuroscience, and gravitational physiology. It highlights that maintaining DA homeostasis is pivotal in preserving neuroplasticity, particularly within brain regions critical to adaptation, such as the basal ganglia, prefrontal cortex, and cerebellum. The paper also discusses the dual-edged nature of DA plasticity: while adaptive remodeling of synapses and receptor sensitivity can serve as compensatory mechanisms under stress, chronic dopaminergic imbalance may lead to maladaptive outcomes, such as cognitive rigidity and motor dysregulation. Furthermore, we propose a conceptual framework that integrates homeostatic neuroregulation with the demands of space environmental adaptation. By drawing from interdisciplinary research, the review underscores the potential of multiple intervention strategies including pharmacological treatment, nutritional support, neural stimulation techniques, and most importantly, structured physical exercise. Recent rodent studies demonstrate that treadmill exercise upregulates DA transporter expression in the dorsal striatum, enhances tyrosine hydroxylase activity, and increases DA release during cognitive tasks, indicating both protective and restorative effects on dopaminergic networks. Thus, exercise is highlighted as a key approach because of its sustained effects on DA production, receptor function, and brain plasticity, making it a strong candidate for developing effective measures to support astronauts in maintaining cognitive and emotional stability during space missions. In conclusion, the paper not only underscores the centrality of DA homeostasis in space neuroscience but also reflects the authors’ broader academic viewpoint: understanding the neurochemical substrates of behavior under microgravity is fundamental to both space health and terrestrial neuroscience. By bridging basic neurobiology with applied space medicine, this work contributes to the emerging field of gravitational neurobiology and provides a foundation for future research into individualized performance optimization in extreme environments.

OBJECTIVE To explore the diagnostic value of combined detection of droplet digital polymerase chain reaction(ddPCR),C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT)and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)for bacterial bloodstream infections.METHODS Patients with suspected bloodstream infections admitted to Jiangbin Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from Jan.2023 to Jun.2024 were selected as the study subjects,with a total of 993 specimens from 543 patients included.Based on ddPCR and blood culture(BC)results,the pa-tients were divided into BC+and/or ddPCR+group(424 specimens)and ddPCR-/BC-group(569 specimens).The bacterial species detected by ddPCR were further classified into single infection group(258 speci-mens),mixed infection group(160 specimens)and ddPCR-group(575 specimens).The levels of CRP,PCT and NLR were compared among the groups.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ddPCR,CRP,PCT and NLR separately and in combination for bacterial bloodstream in-fections.RESULTS The levels of CRP,PCT and NLR in the BC+and/or ddPCR+group were 71.61(37.00,108.81)mg/L,1.74(0.47,7.93)ng/ml and 9.82(5.53,18.07),respectively,which were higher than those in the ddPCR-/BC-group(P＜0.001).I n the ddPCR mixed infection group,the levels of CRP and PCT were 88.02(42.90,112.39)mg/L and 2.83(0.89,12.35)ng/ml,respectively,which were higher than those in the single infection group(P＜0.05).The qualitative results of ddPCR were better at predicting bloodstream infec-tions(OR=15.279,95％CI:6.525～35.776,P＜0.001).According to ROC curve analysis,ddPCR had the lar-gest area under the curve(AUC)among the single detection indicator(0.759),followed by PCT(0.732).The AUC for the combination of ddPCR qualitative results with CRP,PCT and NLR was 0.830,indicating that the di-agnostic performance of the combined detection was better than that of any single indicator.CONCLUSIONS The combination of ddPCR with PCT,CRP and NLR can improve the accuracy of diagnosing bacterial bloodstream in-fections.Compared with BC,ddPCR has higher sensitivity and can quickly identify the types and concentrations of pathogens in bloodstream infections.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.
