Abstract
The respiratory system plays an integral part in maintaining acid-base homeostasis. Normal ventilation participates in the maintenance of an open buffer system, allowing for excretion of CO2 produced from the interaction of nonvolatile acids and bicarbonate. Quantitatively of much greater importance is the excretion of CO2 derived from volatile acids produced from the complete oxidation of fat and carbohydrate. A primary increase in CO2 tension of body fluids is the cause of respiratory acidosis and develops most commonly from one or more of the following: (1) disorders affecting gas exchange across the pulmonary capillary, (2) disorders of the chest wall and the respiratory muscles, and/or (3) inhibition of the medullary respiratory center. Respiratory alkalosis or primary hypocapnia is most commonly caused by disorders that increase alveolar ventilation and is defined by an arterial partial pressure of CO2 <35 mm Hg with subsequent alkalization of body fluids. Both disorders can lead to life-threatening complications, making it of paramount importance for the clinician to have a thorough understanding of the cause and treatment of these acid-base disturbances.

Carbogen-Induced Respiratory Acidosis Blocks Experimental Seizures by a Direct and Specific Inhibition of Na V1.2 Channels in the Axon Initial Segment of Pyramidal Neurons. J Neurosci 2023; 43:1658-1667.

Abstract
Brain pH is a critical factor for determining neuronal activity, with alkalosis increasing and acidosis reducing excitability. Acid shifts in brain pH through the breathing of carbogen (5% CO2/95% O2) reduces seizure susceptibility in animal models and patients. The molecular mechanisms underlying this seizure protection remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that male and female mice exposed to carbogen are fully protected from thermogenic-triggered seizures. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed that acid shifts in extracellular pH (pHo) significantly reduce action potential firing in CA1 pyramidal neurons but did not alter firing in hippocampal inhibitory interneurons. In real-time dynamic clamp experiments, acidification reduced simulated action potential firing generated in hybrid model neurons expressing the excitatory neuron predominant NaV1.2 channel. Conversely, acidification had no effect on action potential firing in hybrid model neurons expressing the interneuron predominant NaV1.1 channel. Furthermore, knockdown of Scn2a mRNA in vivo using antisense oligonucleotides reduced the protective effects of carbogen on seizure susceptibility. Both carbogen-mediated seizure protection and the reduction in CA1 pyramidal neuron action potential firing by low pHo were maintained in an Asic1a knock-out mouse ruling out this acid-sensing channel as the underlying molecular target. These data indicate that the acid-mediated reduction in excitatory neuron firing is mediated, at least in part, through the inhibition of NaV1.2 channels, whereas inhibitory neuron firing is unaffected. This reduction in pyramidal neuron excitability is the likely basis of seizure suppression caused by carbogen-mediated acidification.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Brain pH has long been known to modulate neuronal excitability. Here, we confirm that brain acidification reduces seizure susceptibility in a mouse model of thermogenic seizures. Extracellular acidification reduced excitatory pyramidal neuron firing while having no effect on interneuron firing. Acidification also reduced dynamic clamp firing in cells expressing the NaV1.2 channel but not in cells expressing NaV1.1 channels. In vivo knockdown of Scn2a mRNA reduced seizure protection of acidification. In contrast, acid-mediated seizure protection was maintained in the Asic1a knock-out mouse. These data suggest NaV1.2 channel as an important target for acid-mediated seizure protection. Our results have implications on how natural variations in pH can modulate neuronal excitability and highlight potential antiseizure drug development strategies based on the NaV1.2 channel.

Acid-base and hematological regulation in chicken embryos during internal progressive hypercapnic hypoxia. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 2023; 308:103996.

Abstract
Development of the capacity to mitigate potential disturbances to blood physiology in bird embryos is incompletely understood. We investigated regulation of acid-base and hematology in day 15 chicken embryos exposed to graded intrinsic hypercapnic hypoxia created by varying degrees of water submersion. Metabolic acidosis with additional respiratory or metabolic acidosis occurred at 2 h according to magnitude of submersion. Acid-base disturbance was partially compensated by metabolic alkalosis at 6 h, but compensatory metabolic alkalosis was absent at 24 h. Following submersion with only air cell exposed to air, both hypercapnic respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis occurred within 10 min. Subsequently, both forms of acidosis created lethal levels of [HCO3-] at ∼120 min. Blood hematology showed small but significant effects associated with induced acid-base disturbance. Increased Hct occurring during partial egg submersion lasting 24 h was attributed to an increase in MCV. By day 15 of development chicken embryos are able to partially compensate for and withstand all but severe induced internal hypoxic hypercapnia.

Abstract
Precise maintenance of acid-base homeostasis is fundamental for optimal functioning of physiological and cellular processes. The presence of an acid-base disturbance can affect clinical outcomes and is usually caused by an underlying disease. It is, therefore, important to assess the acid-base status of patients, and the extent to which various therapeutic treatments are effective in controlling these acid-base alterations. In this paper, we develop a dynamic model of the physiological regulation of an HCO3-/CO2 buffering system, an abundant and powerful buffering system, using Henderson-Hasselbalch kinetics. We simulate the normal physiological state and four cardinal acidbase disorders: Metabolic acidosis and alkalosis and respiratory acidosis and alkalosis. We show that the model accurately predicts serum pH over a range of clinical conditions. In addition to qualitative validation, we compare the in silico results with clinical data on acid-base homeostasis and alterations, finding clear relationships between primary acid-base disturbances and the secondary adaptive compensatory responses. We also show that the predicted primary disturbances accurately resemble clinically observed compensatory responses. Furthermore, via sensitivity analysis, key parameters were identified which could be the most effective in regulating systemic pH in healthy individuals, and those with chronic kidney disease and distal and proximal renal tubular acidosis. The model presented here may provide pathophysiologic insights and can serve as a tool to assess the safety and efficacy of different therapeutic interventions to control or correct acid-base disorders.

Abstract
Acute (<96 h) exposure to elevated environmental CO2 (hypercarbia) induces a pH disturbance in fishes that is often compensated by concurrent recovery of intracellular and extracellular pH (pHi and pHe, respectively; coupled pH regulation). However, coupled pH regulation may be limited at CO2 partial pressure (PCO2 ) tensions far below levels that some fishes naturally encounter. Previously, four hypercarbia-tolerant fishes had been shown to completely and rapidly regulate heart, brain, liver and white muscle pHi during acute exposure to >4 kPa PCO2 (preferential pHi regulation) before pHe compensation was observed. Here, we test the hypothesis that preferential pHi regulation is a widespread strategy of acid-base regulation among fish by measuring pHi regulation in 10 different fish species that are broadly phylogenetically separated, spanning six orders, eight families and 10 genera. Contrary to previous views, we show that preferential pHi regulation is the most common strategy for acid-base regulation within these fishes during exposure to severe acute hypercarbia and that this strategy is associated with increased hypercarbia tolerance. This suggests that preferential pHi regulation may confer tolerance to the respiratory acidosis associated with hypercarbia, and we propose that it is an exaptation that facilitated key evolutionary transitions in vertebrate evolution, such as the evolution of air breathing.

Abstract
The classic model of blood pressure regulation by Guyton et al. (Annu Rev Physiol 34:13–46, 1972a; Ann Biomed Eng 1:254–281, 1972b) set a new standard for quantitative exploration of physiological function and led to important new insights, some of which still remain the focus of debate, such as whether the kidney plays the primary role in the genesis of hypertension (Montani et al. in Exp Physiol 24:41–54, 2009a; Exp Physiol 94:382–388, 2009b; Osborn et al. in Exp Physiol 94:389–396, 2009a; Exp Physiol 94:388–389, 2009b).
Key to the success of this model was the fact that the authors made the computer code (in FORTRAN) freely available and eventually provided a convivial user interface for exploration of model behavior on early microcomputers (Montani et al. in Int J Bio-med Comput 24:41–54, 1989). Ikeda et al. (Ann Biomed Eng 7:135–166, 1979) developed an offshoot of the Guyton model targeting especially the regulation of body fluids and acid–base balance; their model provides extended renal and respiratory functions and would be a good basis for further extensions.
In the interest of providing a simple, useable version of Ikeda et al.’s model and to facilitate further such extensions, we present a practical implementation of the model of Ikeda et al. (Ann Biomed Eng 7:135–166, 1979), using the ODE solver Berkeley Madonna.

Abstract
UNLABELLED 'Permissive hypercapnia' is a familiar term in neonatal intensive care, given the widespread adoption of low-tidal-volume ventilation strategies applied with the goal of decreasing respiratory morbidity. Recent evidence suggesting that hypercapnic acidosis may itself have protective effects on the lung and other organs has led to the coining of a new phrase, 'therapeutic hypercapnia', which also encompasses the use of supplemental inspired CO(2). CONCLUSION Experimental evidence suggests that mild-moderate hypercapnia can improve tissue oxygenation and perfusion, which may ameliorate injury to the immature lung and brain. However, hypercapnia may also be associated with adverse outcomes, and the range of PaCO(2) levels that are both safe and effective for specific subsets of neonates has yet to be determined.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication in critically-ill patients and portends a high mortality. The incidence of AKI continues to increase and is often underestimated. The intriguing question to both the intensivists and nephrologists is whether the kidney is an innocent bystander in the process of multi-organ systems failure or whether the kidney is initiating various complex metabolic and humoral pathways affecting distant organs contributing to the overall mortality. There is a renewed interest in the last two decades to gain greater insight into various disease pathways and to understand the role of the kidney in multi-organ failure. It is well known that AKI results in significant physiological derangements that underpin remote organ failure. For example, risk of infection and bleeding increase with AKI. Volume overload and acid-base derangements typical of renal dysfunction have serious consequences in the duration and weaning of mechanical ventilation. Recent animal studies suggest that acutely ischaemic kidneys may induce both functional and transcriptional changes in the lung, independent of uraemia. In this review, we have attempted to discuss various physiological derangements and their clinical effects, in the setting of AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deliberate induction of hypercapnic acidosis protects against lung injury after ischemia-reperfusion, endotoxin-induced, and ventilation-induced lung injury. The efficacy of hypercapnic acidosis in bacterial lung infection, a common cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome, is not known. Furthermore, its effect may differ depending on the presence or absence of antibiotic therapy. We investigated whether hypercapnic acidosis-induced by adding CO2 to inspired gas-would protect against acute lung injury induced by pulmonary Escherichia coli instillation in an in vivo model in the presence and absence of effective antibiotic therapy. DESIGN Prospective randomized animal study. SETTING University research laboratory. SUBJECTS Adult male Wistar-Kyoto rats. INTERVENTIONS The animals were anesthetized and ventilated. In series 1, rats were administered intravenous ceftriaxone (100 mg x kg) and randomized to normocapnia (Normocapnia-ABx; Fico2 0.00, n = 10) or hypercapnia (Hypercapnia-ABx; Fico2 0.05, n = 10) groups. E. coli (8.4 x 10 colony forming units) was instilled intratracheally. Series 2 animals did not receive antibiotics. They were randomized to normocapnia (Normocapnia, n = 10) or hypercapnia (Hypercapnia, n = 10) groups, and intratracheal E. coli was administered. All animals were ventilated for 6 hrs. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS In series 1, there were no differences between Hypercapnia-ABx and Normocapnia-ABx groups with regard to: (a-a)o2 gradient (mean +/- sem; 215 +/- 13 vs. 252 +/- 22 mm Hg), Pao2, bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophil count, static lung compliance, or histologic injury. Lung bacterial yield was not different between the groups. In series 2, in the absence of antibiotic therapy, there were no differences between Hypercapnia and Normocapnia groups in: (a-a)o2 gradient (mean +/- sem, 345 +/- 25 vs. 332 +/- 23 mm Hg), systemic Pao2, bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophil count, or static lung compliance. Lung bacterial yield was not altered by hypercapnia in either series 1 or 2. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that hypercapnic acidosis did not alter the magnitude of the lung injury induced by intratracheal E. coli instillation in the presence or absence of antibiotics.

Abstract
Repeated epochs of breath-holding were superimposed to the regular training cycling program of triathletes to reproduce the adaptative responses to hypoxia, already described in elite breath-hold divers [Respir. Physiol. Neurobiol. 133 (2002) 121]. Before and after a 3-month breath-hold training program, we tested the response to static apnea and to a 1-min dynamic forearm exercise executed during apnea (dynamic apnea). The breath-hold training program did not modify the maximal performances measured during an incremental cycling exercise. After training, the duration of static apnea significantly lengthened and the associated bradycardia was accentuated; we also noted a reduction of the post-apnea decrease in venous blood pH and increase in lactic acid concentration, and the suppression of the post-apnea oxidative stress (increased concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances). After dynamic apnea, the blood acidosis was reduced and the oxidative stress no more occurred. These results suggest that the practice of breath-holding improves the tolerance to hypoxemia independently from any genetic factor.

Abstract
Tissue hypoxia occurs where there is an imbalance between oxygen supply and consumption. Hypoxia occurs in solid tumours as a result of an inadequate supply of oxygen, due to exponential cellular proliferation and an inefficient vascular supply. It is an adverse prognostic indicator in cancer as it is associated with tumour progression and resistance to therapy. The expression of several genes controlling tumour cell survival are regulated by hypoxia, e.g., growth factors governing the formation of new blood vessels, and hypoxia-responsive transcription factors modulating the expression of genes, which promote tumour cell survival. This review outlines some of the pathways by which tumour hypoxia leads to chemotherapeutic resistance, directly due to lack of oxygen availability, and indirectly due to alterations in the proteome/genome, angiogenesis and pH changes. Some innovative therapies are also detailed which may potentially minimise or eliminate these problems associated with targeting solid tumours.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of respiratory acidosis and alkalosis by mechanical ventilation on the onset, duration, and recovery times of vecuronium. DESIGN Randomized, prospective study. SETTING Operating rooms in the Sapporo Medical University Hospital and Kitami Red Cross Hospital. PATIENTS 90 ASA physical status I and II patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups by arterial carbon dioxide tension level (PaCO2; mmHg) after induction: hyperventilation group (PaCO2 = 25-35), normoventilation group (PaCO2 = 35-45), and hypoventilation group (PaCO2 = 45-55). Anesthesia was maintained by spinal block with inhalation of 50% to 66% nitrous oxide in oxygen and intermittent intravenous administration of fentanyl and midazolam with tracheal intubation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS After vecuronium 0.08 mg/kg was given, onset, duration, and recovery time were measured by mechanomyography (Biometer Myograph 2,000, Odense, Denmark). There were significant differences in the duration and recovery time of vecuronium among the normoventilation group (12.7 +/- 3.3 min and 11.8 +/- 2.8 min, respectively), the hyperventilation group (10.6 +/- 3.5 min and 9.2 +/- 2.7 min, respectively; p < 0.01), and the hypoventilation group (14.4 +/- 3.1 min and 15.0 +/- 3.7 min, respectively; p < 0.01) (mean SD). The closest significant correlation in this study was observed between recovery time and arterial blood pH (r = 0.57; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION In humans, duration and recovery times of vecuronium are prolonged in respiratory acidosis and shortened in respiratory alkalosis.

Abstract
Humans generally consume a diet that generates metabolic acids leading to a reduction in the concentration of systemic bicarbonate and a fall in pH. In vitro experiments indicate that this metabolic acidosis causes a release of calcium from bone that initially is simply due to physicochemical dissolution of the mineral. On a more chronic basis metabolic acidosis alters bone cell function; there is an increase in osteoclastic bone resorption and a decrease in osteoblastic bone formation. Concomitant with the dissolution and resorption of the bone mineral there is buffering of the addition protons by bone leading to restoration of the systemic pH. Interestingly respiratory acidosis, caused by an increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide induces far less bone dissolution and resorption and the additional hydrogen ions are not buffered by bone. As we age we are less able to excrete these metabolic acids due to the normal decline in renal function. We hypothesize that a slight, but significant, metabolic acidosis leads to greater loss of bone mineral and increase potential to fracture.

Abstract
To investigate whether respiratory acidosis modulates ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), we perfused (constant flow) 21 isolated sets of normal rabbit lungs, ventilated them for 20 min (pressure controlled ventilation [PCV] = 15 cm H(2)O) (Baseline) with an inspired CO(2) fraction adjusted for the partial pressure of CO(2) in the perfusate (PCO(2) approximately equal to 40 mm Hg), and then randomized them into three groups. Group A (control: n = 7) was ventilated with PCV = 15 cm H(2)O for three consecutive 20-min periods (T1, T2, T3). In Group B (high PCV/normocapnia; n = 7), PCV was given at 20 (T1), 25 (T2), and 30 (T3) cm H(2)O. The targeted PCO(2) was 40 mm Hg in Groups A and B. Group C (high PCV/hypercapnia; n = 7) was ventilated in the same way as Group B, but the targeted PCO(2) was approximately equal to 70 to 100 mm Hg. The changes (from Baseline to T3) in weight gain (Delta WG: g) and in the ultrafiltration coefficient (Delta K(f) = gr/min/ cm H(2)O/100g) and the protein and hemoglobin concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were used to assess injury. Group B experienced a significantly greater Delta WG (14.85 +/- 5.49 [mean +/- SEM] g) and Delta K(f) (1.40 +/- 0.49 g/min/cm H(2)O/100 g) than did either Group A (Delta WG = 0.70 +/- 0.43; Delta K(f) = 0.01 +/- 0.03) or Group C (Delta WG = 5.27 +/- 2.03 g; Delta K(f) = 0.25 +/- 0.12 g/min/cm H(2)O/ 100 g). BALF protein and hemoglobin concentrations (g/L) were higher in Group B (11.98 +/- 3.78 g/L and 1.82 +/- 0.40 g/L, respectively) than in Group A (2.92 +/- 0.75 g/L and 0.38 +/- 0.15 g/L) or Group C (5.71 +/- 1.88 g/L and 1.19 +/- 0.32 g/L). We conclude that respiratory acidosis decreases the severity of VILI in this model.

Abstract
We evaluated the hypothesis that venous congestion (increased venous volume), as reflected by venous hypertension (increased venous pressure), can arise when the right ventricle is unable to elevate the pulmonary arterial pressure sufficiently to propel the cardiac output through an anatomically inadequate or inappropriately constricted pulmonary vasculature. Changes in venous pressure were evaluated in clinically healthy broilers during modest increases in pulmonary vascular resistance induced by inhalation of 5% CO2 and during large increases in pulmonary vascular resistance accomplished by acutely tightening a snare around one pulmonary artery. Inhalation of 5% CO2 induced a pronounced respiratory acidosis, as reflected by increases the partial pressure of CO2 and the hydrogen ion concentration in arterial blood. Inhalation of 5% CO2 also increased pulmonary arterial pressure by approximately 3 mm Hg and increased venous pressure by approximately 1 mm Hg when compared with the pre-inhalation venous pressure. Tightening the pulmonary artery snare increased the pulmonary arterial pressure by approximately 10 mm Hg, and this degree of pulmonary hypertension was sustained until the snare was released. When compared with the pre- and post-snare intervals, tightening of the pulmonary artery snare induced a sustained increase in venous pressure of > or = 1 mm Hg. Veins have highly compliant walls that permit an approximate doubling in volume with only small (4 to 6 mm Hg) increases in central venous pressure. Presumably the apparently modest 1 mm Hg increase in venous pressure measured after CO2 inhalation or unilateral pulmonary artery occlusion reflects a large increase in venous volume and, thus, substantial venous congestion. These observations support the hypothesis that increases in pulmonary vascular resistance can initiate increases in venous pressure by challenging the capacity of the right ventricle to propel all of the returning venous blood through the lungs. Central venous congestion predisposes broilers to the onset of cirrhosis and ascites by impeding the outflow of hepatic venous blood and increasing the hydrostatic pressure within hepatic sinusoids.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether high PaCO2 reduced apparent efficiency of IgG absorption (AEA) in calves and whether assisted ventilation of calves with high PaCO2 increased AEA. ANIMALS 48 Holstein calves. PROCEDURES Arterial and venous blood samples were collected 1, 13, and 25 hours after birth; an additional venous sample was collected at 37 hours after birth. Arterial samples were analyzed for PaCO2, PaO2, pH, and bicarbonate and base excess concentrations; venous samples were analyzed for plasma IgG concentrations. On the basis of 1-hour PaCO2, calves were assigned to nonrespiratory acidosis (PaCO2 < 50 mm Hg; n = 19) or respiratory acidosis (PaCO2 > or = 50 mm Hg; 29) groups. Calves in the respiratory acidosis group were assigned randomly to receive no further treatment (n = 17) or to be given 5 minutes of assisted ventilation (12). All calves received between 1.8 and 2 L of colostrum 2, 14, 26, and 38 hours after birth. Plasma volume and AEA were determined 25 hours after birth. RESULTS 1-hour PaCO2 had no effect on AEA or on plasma IgG concentrations determined 13, 25, or 37 hours after birth. Artificial ventilation had no effect on plasma IgG concentration or AEA. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Lack of effect of 1-hour PaCO2 on AEA and IgG concentration indicated that calves compensated for moderate acid-base imbalances associated with birth. Calves born with high PaCO2 achieved adequate plasma IgG concentrations if fed an adequate amount of high-quality colostrum early in life. The effect of artificial ventilation on PaCO2 was temporary and did not increase AEA.

Abstract
Adrenal venous flow rate and cortisol synthesis have been measured in dogs subjected to hypercapnic acidosis before and after intravenous administration of 0.34 mm/kg of tris (hydroxymethyl) amino methane (THAM). A comparison was made of adrenal venous, peripheral venous, and arterial blood, pH, pCO2 and O2 saturation. During uncorrected hypercapnic acidosis the concentration of cortisol increased while adrenal venous flow rate decreased, but there was a significant increase in the minute output of cortisol. With the concomitant administration of 0.34 mM/kg THAM, adrenal venous flow rate doubled. However, since this enhanced flow rate was accompanied by a sharp reduction in cortisol secretion, the minute output of cortisol returned to control levels. The possibility of a direct effect of THAM on the adrenal vascular bed and synthetic processes is discussed. Throughout all the above experiments adrenal venous blood resembled arterial blood rather than peripheral blood in its pCO2, O2 saturation and pH.

Abstract
The effect of 8% CO2 for 24 hr on the electrolyte composition of muscle, bone, and liver has been studied in rats on a normal diet as well as on one low in sodium and low in potassium. Muscle potassium decreased in animals on a normal or low-sodium diet exposed to CO2. Muscle sodium decreased in animals on a low-potassium diet exposed to CO2, and there was no further change in the already low levels of muscle potassium. The sodium and potassium content of bone and liver and the calcium content of bone were unchanged by exposure to CO2. Nephrectomy blocks the loss of muscle potassium noted in rats on a normal diet. Muscle and bone sodium were also unaltered by CO2 in nephrectomized rats. These results contrast with those obtained during metabolic acidosis and emphasize the importance of the kidneys in bodily adjustments to respiratory acidosis.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare core body and brain temperatures after complete but intermittent occlusions of the umbilical cord. Thermocouple probes were placed in the parasagittal parietal cortex, ascending aorta, and jugular vein of eight near-term fetal sheep and in the maternal descending aorta. Three days later, after an initial control period, the umbilical cord was occluded for 5 min, followed by a 30-min recovery period, and this cycle was repeated 4 times. Temperature changes, blood gases, and plasma glucose, lactate and adenosine were measured. In the first occlusion period, body core temperature increased 0.12 degreesC over control, and then declined to baseline after cord release, and this pattern was repeated with subsequent occlusions. Brain temperature, however, did not increase in response to any of the cord occlusions. Plasma adenosine increased 2.4-fold during the first occlusion, but not during subsequent occlusions, despite a continuing pattern of constant brain temperature, a result which minimizes adenosine's importance as a continuing regulator of cerebral metabolism. We conclude that brain temperature fails to increase because of diminished heat production by the brain and increases in cerebral blood flow, responses which delay complete depletion of adenosine 5'-triphosphate stores in brain tissue.
