Sleep Breath 2023; 27:2389-2395. [PMID: 37382850 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-023-02857-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The daytime tiredness experienced by the vast majority of allergic rhinitis (AR) sufferers is directly related to the fact that they experience disrupted sleep at night. This study compared the effects of recently marketed second-generation H1 antihistamines (SGAs) on nighttime sleep and daytime sleepiness in patients with AR, with patients grouped into those taking non-brain-penetrating antihistamines (NBP group) and those taking brain-penetrating antihistamines (BP group). METHODS Patients with AR completed self-administered questionnaire-based surveys to determine Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after taking SGAs. Statistical analysis was performed on each evaluation item. RESULTS Of 53 Japanese patients with AR between 6 and 78 years old, median (SD) age was 37.0 (22.4) years old and 21 were men (40%). Of the 53 patients, 34 were the NBP group and 19 were the BP group. In the NBP group, mean (SD) subjective sleep quality score after medication was 0.76 (0.50), which was significantly lower (better) than the score of 0.97 (0.52) before medication (p = 0.020). In the BP group, mean (SD) subjective sleep quality score after medication was 0.79 (0.54), which was not significantly different from the score of 0.74 (0.56) before medication (p = 0.564). In the NBP group, mean (SD) global PSQI score was 3.47 (1.71) after medication, which was significantly lower (better) than the score of 4.35 (1.92) before medication (p = 0.011). In the BP group, mean (SD) global PSQI score was 2.47 (2.39) after medication, which was not significantly different from the score of 3.00 (2.71) before medication (p = 0.125). CONCLUSION Subjective sleep quality and global PSQI score were improved only in the group taking non-brain-penetrating SGAs.

Abstract
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Constipation in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) adversely affects motor symptoms, making defecation management critical. Sleep disturbance is another common complaint in patients with PD (PWP). Associations between sleep disturbances and constipation have been reported in recent studies on PD. If improving sleep quality is useful for managing constipation in PWP, it might serve as a new method of constipation management that is less physically and mentally distressing than laxatives. This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and constipation severity in PWP. METHODS: We administered a questionnaire on sleep and constipation to 1048 PWP. Constipation severity was assessed using Constipation Assessment Scale Japanese version 2 (CAS). General sleep quality was estimated using the Japanese versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Athens Insomnia Scale. Sleep quality due to PD-specific nighttime problems was estimated using the Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale-2 Japanese version (PDSS-2). We conducted a multiple regression analysis using the forced entry method to identify the variables that influenced CAS. RESULTS: We analyzed 350 PWP. Overall, 94.9% of PWP had constipation symptoms. The percentages of PWP with poor sleep were as follows: PSQI, 74.7%; Athens Insomnia Scale, 69.8%; and PDSS-2, 73.8%. Furthermore, 17.6% of the patients with constipation and 35.3% with sleep problems did not consult a healthcare provider. Multivariate analysis revealed that CAS was significantly associated only with PDSS-2 (standardized partial regression coefficient, 0.217; 95% confidence interval, 0.030-0.111). CONCLUSION: Poor sleep quality, related to PD-specific nighttime problems, was found be associated with worsening constipation severity. Nursing activities that help PWP with PD-specific nighttime problems have a more comfortable night's sleep would be key to alleviating constipation severity.

Association between health anxiety dimensions and preventive behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic among Japanese healthcare workers. Heliyon 2023; 9:e22176. [PMID: 38034695 PMCID: PMC10685365 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Health anxiety (HA), defined as excessive worry about having a serious medical condition, may affect preventive behaviors during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We examined the distinct role of two dimensions of HA-perceived likelihood (probability dimension) and awfulness of illness (awfulness dimension)-in self-protection, as reflected in preventive behaviors during the pandemic. Methods Participants comprised 657 healthcare workers. Data were collected between February 24 and 26, 2021. The Short Health Anxiety Inventory determined the HA dimensions. Adherence to the government's recommendations for COVID-19 preventive behaviors was self-rated. An independent association between each HA dimension and participants' adherence to the recommendations was examined using multivariable regression. Results Within the analyzed sample of 560 subjects, severe HA was observed in 9.1 %. The more the participants felt awful, the less frequently they engaged in the recommended preventive behaviors (adjusted odds ratio = 0.993, 95 % confidence interval: 0.989, 0.998, p = 0.003) regardless of their profession, working position, psychological distress, sleep disturbance, and current physical diseases. However, the probability dimension was not associated with their preventive behaviors. Conclusion The awfulness dimension of HA could be a more sensitive marker of preventive behaviors than the probability dimension. Paying particular attention to the awfulness dimension may help optimize self-protection strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. A two-dimensional understanding of HA may be useful for the maintenance of the healthcare system and public health as well as healthcare workers' own health.

Abstract
No report has clarified the frequency and interacting factors affecting sleep disturbance among Asian patients at midterm after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of sleep disturbance at midterm after TKA in a Japanese cohort and to identify intervening factors for sleep. We hypothesized that residual knee pain and decreased functional capability negatively interact with sleep quality after TKA. A total of 209 Japanese participants (average age: 77.1 ± 8.3 years; postoperative follow-up period: 4.5 ± 1.9 years) who underwent primary TKA for knee osteoarthritis were included in this study. Sleep quality, satisfaction, pain, functional capability, joint awareness, and mental condition were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Knee Society Score (KSS) 2011, Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)-12, and 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) Mental Component Summary (MCS). Multivariable analysis was performed to determine the influencing factors on PSQI. The scores for the PSQI, satisfaction with pain level while lying in bed, pain during level walking, functional activity category in the KSS 2011, awareness of the artificial joint in bed at night in the FJS-12, and SF-12 MCS were 6.7 ± 3.0, 5.8 ± 1.8, 1.6 ± 2.3, 62 ± 22, 1.5 ± 1.4, and 56 ± 9.3 on average, respectively. Sleep disturbance (PSQI ≥ 5.5) occurred in 54% of the Japanese participants. Multivariable analysis revealed that high functional capability was a significant factor associated with sleep quality improvement (p < 0.05). Decreased functional capability, not residual knee pain, negatively interacted with sleep quality. The sleep disturbance rate was high during the middle postoperative period after TKA in the Japanese cohort.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Improving the lifestyle of occupational workers is essential for extending healthy life expectancy. We investigated various lifestyle-related items in a rural Japanese population and compared them between agricultural and non-agricultural workers. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted as a part of the "Iwaki Health Promotion Project." Lifestyle-related items such as sleep, work hours, nutrition, health-related quality of life, and proportion of time spent performing each daily activity were compared between agricultural and non-agricultural workers in the ≥60 years (n = 251) and <60 years (n = 560) age groups. RESULTS Agricultural workers had significantly lower Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total scores than non-agricultural workers in the <60 years group. The proportion of participants with more than 5 weekly working days was high among agricultural workers in both groups. Additionally, the proportion of people who worked more than 8 h per day was high among agricultural workers in both age groups. Energy intake per day was high among agricultural workers in the <60 years group. In both age groups, agricultural workers slept and woke up approximately 40 min earlier than did non-agricultural workers. CONCLUSIONS Agricultural workers have better sleep habits but work longer than non-agricultural workers, with some differences in energy intake and proportion of time spent on each daily activity. These differences should be considered when planning lifestyle intervention programs for agricultural workers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Social jetlag, a circadian misalignment, has been associated with depressive symptoms in the general and working populations. However, evidence for this association in adolescents is inconsistent. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between social jetlag and depressive symptoms among Japanese adolescents and to evaluate differences by sex. METHODS The participants were 1493 students (13.6 ± 0.9years, 52.4% girls) from five junior high schools. Questionnaires, including demographic information and the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire, were distributed. Social jetlag was defined as the difference between midsleep on weekdays and weekends, and was categorized as <0 hour (negative), 0 to <1 hour, 1 to <2 hours, or ≥2 hours. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Birleson Depression Self-Rating Scale for Children. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio with adjustments for potential confounders, such as puberty- and lifestyle-related factors. RESULTS The distribution of students with <0 hour, 0 to <1 hour, 1 to <2 hours, and ≥2 hours of social jetlag was 9.4%, 37.0%, 33.3%, and 20.4%, respectively. The multivariate-adjusted model revealed that social jetlag ≥2 hours and <0 hour were associated with an elevated risk of depressive symptoms among girls and boys, respectively. These associations were nonlinear for both sexes in restricted cubic spline analyses. CONCLUSIONS Social jetlag is associated with depressive symptoms among adolescents. Specifically, the risk of depressive symptoms increased with positive social jetlag scores for girls and negative social jetlag scores for boys.

Abstract
PURPOSE Allergic rhinitis (AR) is associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nasal obstruction causes decreased adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The purpose is to evaluate the effects of antiallergic agents on CPAP adherence and sleep quality. METHODS A longitudinal study was made of patients who use CPAP for OSA and treated with antiallergy agents for spring pollinosis. We compared the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), nasal symptoms scores (NSS), and data from CPAP before and after treatment. Then, we classified the subjects into two groups based on the baseline PSQI score: one group without a decreased sleep quality (PSQI < 6) and the other group with decreased sleep quality (PSQI ≥ 6). RESULTS Of 28 subjects enrolled, 13 had good sleep quality and 15 had poor sleep quality. PSQI showed significant improvements after medication (p = 0.046). ESS showed no significant differences after AR medication (p = 0.565). Significant improvement was observed after the prescription of antiallergy agents in all items of NSS (sneezing, p < 0.05; rhinorrhea, p < 0.01; nasal obstruction, p < 0.01; QOL, p < 0.01). The percentage of days with CPAP use more than 4 h increased significantly after the administration of rhinitis medication (p = 0.022). In the intragroup comparisons of PSQI ≥ 6 group, PSQI decreased significantly (p < 0.05). For the NSS in intragroup comparisons of PSQI ≥ 6 group, all parameters showed significant improvement (sneezing, p = 0.016; rhinorrhea, p = 0.005; nasal obstruction, p < 0.005; QOL, p < 0.005). CONCLUSION The use of antiallergy agents can improve CPAP adherence and sleep quality in patients with OSA on CPAP.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between sleep quality, frailty, and human relationships in Japanese older adults (aged 65 years and above, excluding those certified as requiring long-term care). This cross-sectional study used a questionnaire survey to gather demographic information, data on frequency of conversation and conversation partners, and employed the following validated instruments: Kihon Checklist (KCL), a Japanese instrument used to determine the care needs and frailty of older adults; the Dysphagia Risk Assessment for Community-Dwelling Elderly (DRACE) scale; Japanese versions of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-J); the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15-J); and the University of California Los Angeles Scale (UCLA-J), an instrument to assess loneliness in older adults. The 500 respondents were divided into two groups based on sleep quality (PSQI-J): low sleep quality group (n = 167, 33.4%) and high sleep quality group (n = 333, 66.6%). Our analyses showed that the low sleep quality group had a KCL score of 5.55 ± 2.47, which indicated frailty. Binomial logistic regression analysis identified age, number of diseases under treatment, DRACE, GDS-15-J, and conversation frequency and discussion partner for important matters as factors (p < 0.05) associated with poor sleep quality. These factors could help enhance the detection of frailty and predictability of caregiving needs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Passive body heating before sleep is well known to lead to improved sleep. However, the effects of the degree of change in body temperature by bathing on sleep quality are unclear. The present study aimed to clarify the effects on sleep of bathing-induced changes in body temperature. METHODS Twenty-three healthy males and females in their 20 s to 50 s bathed in their homes 1.5-2 h before bedtime under three bathing conditions: showering only; short bathing in a bathtub; and long bathing in a bathtub. Sublingual and skin temperatures and thermal sensation before and after bathing, sleep indices such as sleep onset latency, time in bed, sleep efficiency, and wake after sleep onset, all of which were evaluated using an actimeter, and subjective evaluations of sleep were compared among conditions. RESULTS Sublingual temperature just after bathing was significantly higher with long bathing than with other conditions, and the fall in sublingual temperature from after bathing to before sleep was significantly larger with long bathing than with short bathing. Sleep onset latency by actimeter was significantly reduced with long bathing compared to showering. In addition, subjective evaluations of falling asleep and sleep quality were better with long bathing than with showering or short bathing. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, bathing conditions that produce a 0.9 °C increase in sublingual temperature appear effective for falling asleep and sleep quality, because core temperature shows a greater drop to before sleep than those producing an increase of about 0.3 °C increase in sublingual temperature.

Abstract
Background Older adults commonly experience both sleep disturbances and constipation. Pathophysiological mechanisms such as inhibition of colonic peristalsis due to sympathetic activation associated with sleep disturbances have been postulated. Here, we aimed to assess the temporal association between the degree of sleep quality and the incidence of constipation. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study of independent community-dwelling older adults aged ≥75 years (the Sukagawa Study). Using a self-administered questionnaire inquiring about awareness of own constipation or the use of laxatives in 2019 and 2020, we determined the onset of constipation. The Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure sleep quality in 2019. The global PSQI score was divided into quartiles. We analyzed the association between the degree of sleep quality and the incidence of constipation using logistic regression models. Results Overall, 1,696 participants without constipation at baseline were analyzed after 1 year, of whom 823 (48.5%) were male. The mean age of participants was 79.9 years. In total, 191 participants (11.3%) developed constipation. The median (interquartile range; IQR) global PSQI score was 4 (2, 6). According to the quartiles of the global PSQI scores (0-2, 3-4, 5-6, and ≥7), 35 (7.8%), 55 (11.3%), 48 (12.8%), and 53 (13.8%), respectively, developed constipation. Compared to those with global PSQI scores of 0-2, the odds ratios, adjusted by age, sex, smoking status, alcohol status, educational level, working status, exercise, and medical history were 1.57, 1.78, and 2.02 for participants with global PSQI scores of 3-4, 5-6, and ≥7, respectively (p = 0.003 for trend). Conclusions We identified poor sleep quality as a new risk factor for developing constipation in independent, community-dwelling, older adults aged ≥75 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are two different conditions that impair sleep quality. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of sleep quality on geriatric syndromes in older diabetic adults. METHODS Comprehensive geriatric assessment was performed on 236 patients. The assessment included the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), European Quality of Life Questionnaire (EQ-5D), Mini Mental Statement Examination (MMSE), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Mini Nutritional Assessment, and measurement of handgrip strength (HGS). RESULTS Of the participants, 55% had DM, and 61.4% had poor sleep quality. Poor sleep prevalence was higher in diabetic patients (68.5%) than in non-diabetics (52.8%). Diabetic patients with poor sleep quality had higher frequencies of chronic pain, recurrent urinary tract infections, confirmed sarcopenia, and frailty (p = 0.015, p < 0.001, p = 0.027, and p < 0.001, respectively), a higher number of comorbidities and higher GDS and BAI scores (p = 0.046, p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively), and lower scores of activities of daily living, HGS, and EQ-5D index (p = 0.023, p = 0.004, and p < 0.001, respectively) compared to diabetic patients with good sleep quality. According to the correlation analysis results, PSQI score had a positive correlation with GDS score (r = 0.461, p < 0.001) and a negative correlation with Mini Nutritional Assessment score (r = -0.317, p < 0.001), skeletal muscle mass index (r = -0.283, p = 0.002) and HGS (r = -0.307, p < 0.001) scores in diabetic older adults. CONCLUSION Poor sleep quality in older diabetic patients has a negative impact on several geriatric syndromes. Our findings suggest that poor sleep quality is an independent risk factor for depression, malnutrition, and lower muscle mass in older diabetic adults. Improving sleep quality may play a crucial role in preventing and managing geriatric syndromes in this population.

Abstract
Postoperative delirium is an important issue in cancer patients, affecting surgical outcomes and the quality of life. Ramelteon is a melatonin receptor agonist with high affinity for MT1 and MT2 receptors. Clinical trials and observational studies in Japan, including in surgical cancer patients, have shown efficacy of ramelteon in delirium prevention, with no serious safety concerns. However, clinical trials from the USA have reported conflicting results. A Japanese phase II study investigated the efficacy and safety of ramelteon for delirium prevention following gastrectomy in patients aged ≥75 years, with findings suggesting the feasibility of a phase III trial. The aim of this multi-centre, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled phase III trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oral ramelteon for postoperative delirium prevention in cancer patients aged ≥65 years as advanced medical care. The trial protocol is described here.

Abstract
Introduction Sleep quality has a significant impact on the health-related quality of life, particularly among college students. This study proposes a framework for identifying factors that influence college students' sleep quality, including stress, self-control, bedtime habits, and neighborhood environment. Methods The study employed a cross-sectional analytical approach on a convenience sample of 255 medical students from a private university in China during the 2021/2022 academic year, of which 80.39% (205) were women. Two complementary methodologies, partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), and fuzzy sets qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), were utilized in the study. Results The results of the PLS-SEM analysis suggest that Stress and Self-control act as mediating variables in the model, with Bedtime habits and Neighborhood environment influencing sleep quality through these variables. Additionally, the fsQCA analysis reveals that Bedtime habits and Neighborhood environment can combine with Stress and Self-control, respectively, to influence sleep quality. Discussion These findings provide insight into how multiple factors, such as Stress, Self-control, Bedtime habits, and Neighborhood environment, can impact college students' sleep quality, and can be used to develop intervention programs aimed at improving it. Moreover, the use of both methodologies enables the expansion of new methodological approaches that can be applied to different contexts.

Abstract
Introduction In recent years, the widespread shift from on-site to remote work has led to a decline in employees' mental health. Consequently, this transition to remote work poses several challenges for both employees and employers. To address these challenges, there is an urgent need for techniques to detect declining mental health in employees' daily lives. Emotion-based health assessment, which examines emotional diversity (emodiversity) experienced in daily life, is a possible solution. However, the feasibility of emodiversity remains unclear, especially from the perspectives of its applicability to remote workers and countries other than Europe and the United States. This study investigated the association between subjective mental health decline and emotional factors, such as emodiversity, as well as physical conditions, in remote workers in Japan. Method To explore this association, we conducted a consecutive 14-day prospective observational experiment on 18 Japanese remote workers. This experiment comprised pre-and post-questionnaire surveys, physiological sensing, daytime emotion self-reports, and subjective health reports at end-of-day. In daytime emotion self-reports, we introduced smartphone-based experience sampling (also known as ecological momentary assessment), which is suitable for collecting context-dependent self-reports precisely in a recall bias-less manner. For 17 eligible participants (mean ± SD, 39.1 ± 9.1 years), we evaluated whether and how the psycho-physical characteristics, including emodiversity, changed on subjective mental health-declined experimental days after analyzing descriptive statistics. Results Approximately half of the experimental days (46.3 ± 18.9%) were conducted under remote work conditions. Our analysis showed that physical and emotional indices significantly decreased on mental health-declined days. Especially on high anxiety and depressive days, we found that emodiversity indicators significantly decreased (global emodiversity on anxiety conditions, 0.409 ± 0.173 vs. 0.366 ± 0.143, p = 0.041), and positive emotional experiences were significantly suppressed (61.5 ± 7.7 vs. 55.5 ± 6.4, p < 0.001). Discussion Our results indicated that the concept of emodiversity can be applicable even to Japanese remote workers, whose cultural background differs from that of individuals in Europe and the United States. Emodiversity showed significant associations with emotion dysregulation-related mental health deterioration, suggesting the potential of emodiversity as useful indicators in managing such mental health deterioration among remote workers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to determine whether a history of falls before admission affected physical activity levels and sedentary behavior negatively after implementing a behavior modification approach in patients with minor ischemic stroke. METHODS This study constituted a secondary analysis of an intervention trial. In the intervention study, patients with minor ischemic stroke were randomly assigned to two groups: intervention and control groups. The intervention group was encouraged to reduce sedentary behavior during hospitalization and after discharge, while the control group was encouraged to increase physical activity levels solely during hospitalization. The study included 52 patients who completed the intervention trial. The exposure factor examined was a history of falls. Upon admission, patients were queried about any falls experienced in the year preceding admission and subsequently classified into fall and non-fall groups based on their responses. The primary outcome of interest focused on changes in physical activity levels (step count, light-intensity physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity) and sedentary behavior. Measurements were obtained at two time points: before the intervention, during hospitalization (baseline), and 3 months after discharge (post-intervention). RESULTS Only a significantly lower change in the number of steps taken in the fall group than in the non-fall group was found. CONCLUSION Those with a history of falls showed a lesser change in the number of steps taken before and after implementing a behavior change approach compared with those without a history of falls. Those with a history of falls may have engaged in activities other than walking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of rehabilitation after a cardiovascular procedure. Especially older and multimorbid patients benefit from rehabilitation after a cardiac procedure. Prehabilitation prior to cardiac procedures may also have positive effects on patients' pre- and postoperative outcomes. Results of a current meta-analysis show that prehabilitation prior to cardiac procedures can improve perioperative outcomes and alleviate adverse effects. Germany currently lacks a structured cardiac prehabilitation program for older patients, which is coordinated across healthcare sectors. METHODS In a randomized, controlled, two-arm parallel group, assessor-blinded multicenter intervention trial (PRECOVERY), we will randomize 422 patients aged 75 years or older scheduled for an elective cardiac procedure (e.g., coronary artery bypass graft surgery or transcatheter aortic valve replacement). In PRECOVERY, patients randomized to the intervention group participate in a 2-week multimodal prehabilitation intervention conducted in selected cardiac-specific rehabilitation facilities. The multimodal prehabilitation includes seven modules: exercise therapy, occupational therapy, cognitive training, psychosocial intervention, disease-specific education, education with relatives, and nutritional intervention. Participants in the control group receive standard medical care. The co-primary outcomes are quality of life (QoL) and mortality after 12 months. QoL will be measured by the EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). A health economic evaluation using health insurance data will measure cost-effectiveness. A mixed-methods process evaluation will accompany the randomized, controlled trial to evaluate dose, reach, fidelity and adaptions of the intervention. DISCUSSION In this study, we investigate whether a tailored prehabilitation program can improve long-term survival, QoL and functional capacity. Additionally, we will analyze whether the intervention is cost-effective. This is the largest cardiac prehabilitation trial targeting the wide implementation of a new form of care for geriatric cardiac patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The YOu and Ulcerative colitis: Registry and Social network (YOURS) is a large-scale, multicenter, patient-focused registry investigating the effects of lifestyle, psychological factors, and clinical practice patterns on patient-reported outcomes in patients with ulcerative colitis in Japan. In this initial cross-sectional baseline analysis, we comprehensively explored impacts of symptom severity or proctocolectomy on nine patient-reported outcomes. METHODS Patients receiving tertiary care at medical institutions were consecutively enrolled in the YOURS registry. The patients completed validated questionnaires on lifestyle, psychosocial factors, and disease-related symptoms. Severity of symptoms was classified with self-graded stool frequency and rectal bleeding scores (categories: remission, active disease [mild, moderate, severe]). The effects of symptom severity or proctocolectomy on nine scales for quality of life, fatigue, anxiety/depression, work productivity, and sleep were assessed by comparing standardized mean differences of the patient-reported outcome scores. RESULTS Of the 1971 survey responses analyzed, 1346 (68.3%) patients were in remission, 583 (29.6%) had active disease, and 42 (2.1%) had undergone proctocolectomy. A linear relationship between increasing symptom severity and worsening quality of life, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and work productivity was observed. Patients with even mild symptoms had worse scores than patients in remission. Patients who had undergone proctocolectomy also had worse scores than patients in remission. CONCLUSIONS Ulcerative colitis was associated with reduced mood, quality of life, fatigue, and work productivity even in patients with mild symptoms, suggesting that management of active ulcerative colitis may improve patient-reported outcomes irrespective of disease severity.

The association between cholesterol/saturated fat index (CSI) and quality of sleep, and circadian rhythm among overweight and obese women: a cross-sectional study. JOURNAL OF HEALTH, POPULATION, AND NUTRITION 2023; 42:75. [PMID: 37501196 PMCID: PMC10375646 DOI: 10.1186/s41043-023-00414-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The decline in sleep quality is one of the main public health problems affecting the global population. Some studies have shown that a high-fat diet may be linked to changes in circadian rhythm and sleep quality. The cholesterol/saturated fatty acid index (CSI) determines the amount of cholesterol and saturated fatty acid (SFA) in people's dietary patterns and can affect the quality of sleep and circadian rhythm. However, to date, no studies have investigated the effect of this index on these two variables. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the relationship between CSI on circadian rhythm and sleep quality in obese and overweight women. METHOD This cross-sectional study included 378 adult women who were obese or overweight. Using accepted techniques, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure readings, and biochemical variables were evaluated. A validated and trustworthy semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ 147 items) was used to gauge dietary intake. The CSI was measured to find out how much cholesterol and saturated fats were in the diet. Additionally, to assess circadian rhythm and sleep quality, respectively, the valid morning-evening questionnaire (MEQ) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) questionnaires were utilized. RESULT The results of the multinomial logistic regression model of our analysis showed that a significant association was observed between circadian rhythm status with CSI score, and participants with one higher unit of CSI had a 7.3% more chance of being in the eveningness group than being in morningness category in the crude model (OR: 1.07; 95% CI 1.00, 1.14; P = 0.026). This association remains marginally significant when adjusting for age, energy intake, BMI, job status, thyroid, and smoking status (OR = 1.08; 95% CI 1.00, 1.16; P = 0.051). The binary logistic regression model showed that after controlling for potentially confounding variables, there was no significant association between sleep quality with CSI score, however, those with one higher unit of CSI had 1.6% more chance of having sleep problems (OR: 1.01; 95% CI 0.96, 1.06; P = 0.503). CONCLUSION Our results indicated a direct marginally significant association between CSI with evening type in overweight and obese women. Future studies are needed to clarify the precise link between circadian rhythm and sleep behavior with fatty acid quality index.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a global pandemic, which is not only a severe public health issue but also significantly impacts the physical activity, sleep habits, and mental health of university students. Thus, we examined the association between behavioral restrictions due to COVID-19 and sleep patterns and mental health in first-year Japanese university students. Four hundred and twenty-two students (253 males and 169 females; age, 18.7 ± 1.0 years) participated in our questionnaire study. Under the behavioral restrictions due to COVID-19, 193 students (127 males and 66 females) responded to the questionnaire online from home. The participants did not visit the university during the survey period. The data acquired the year before the COVID-19 pandemic (2018 and 2019) were used as control data (126 males and 103 females). The questionnaire consisted of four sections: (1) demographic and lifestyle variables, (2) the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, (3) the Japanese version of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and (4) the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Our data revealed that self-restraint due to COVID-19 was associated with better sleep and mental health. In addition, mental health was independent of sleep, while sleep was related to mental health. These differences were more pronounced in male than in female students. This finding could be due to physical activity at night, part-time work, and long commuting times during the pre-pandemic period.

Abstract
Purpose The efficacy of sleep extension therapy using a remote support system (SET-R) was investigated in university students with increased social jetlag (SJL). Methods For this two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial, we recruited Japanese university students with SJL ≥ 60 min. The SET-R provided an individualized sleep schedule for gradual sleep extension using email and sleep hygiene education, stimulus control therapy, and progressive muscle relaxation as web content. The control group was sent an email that encouraged them to record their sleep. The duration of the intervention program was two weeks. The primary outcome was the mean change in SJL two weeks later, assessed using the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ). The other outcomes included Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Insomnia Severity Index, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and sleep quiz. A follow-up survey was conducted 6 months after the intervention. Results Of 54 students, 26 were assigned to an intervention group and 28 to a control group. The difference in the mean change in SJL between the two groups (n = 26, n = 27) at two weeks was statistically significant (27.7 min, P = 0.048). The scores for the ESS, PHQ-9, and sleep quiz were improved in the intervention group relative to the control group. At the 6-month follow-up point, the difference in the mean change in SJL between the two groups (n = 22, n = 27) was not statistically significant, but scores for the PHQ-9, and sleep quiz remained significant. Conclusions This study demonstrated the efficacy of the SET-R among university students with increased SJL. Trial Registration The study was registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000042634, 2021/02/01).

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of poor subjective sleep quality in elite judo athletes. A subjective cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted with 106 elite judo athletes who participated in the training camp of the Japanese national team. Eighty-six respondents (men: 52.3%; average age: 22.9 ± 3.1 years) with complete responses were included in the analysis (valid response rate: 81.1%). Subjective sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The prevalence of poor sleep quality (PSQI score ≥ 5.5), the mean PSQI score, and subscale scores were investigated. Relationships between poor sleep quality and attributes, lifestyle habits, competition-based activities, and psychological distress were explored using Fisher's exact tests and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Thirty-five respondents (40.7%) reported poor sleep quality. The percentage and subscale scores of the respondents for sleep latency, sleep duration, and daytime dysfunction were higher than those of the population of Japanese national-level athletes. The mean PSQI score of the respondents was similar to that of some elite athlete populations but higher than those of others. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that psychological distress was associated with poor sleep quality. In conclusion, the prevalence of poor subjective sleep quality in elite judo athletes was suggested to be similar or higher among elite athlete population. Sleep latency, sleep duration, and daytime dysfunction status were worse in elite judo athletes than in Japanese national-level athletes. Psychological distress was a risk factor for poor subjective sleep quality in elite judo athletes.

Abstract
Core body temperature (CBT) shows a diurnal rhythm, and the nocturnal decrease in CBT is blunted in older people. The physiological mechanisms responsible for the blunted nocturnal decrease in CBT in older people remain to be revealed. The aim of this study was to compare heat production and heat dissipation in young and old subjects during sleep, as assessed by indirect calorimetry and the distal-proximal temperature gradient (DPG) of skin temperature. A complete dataset of 9 young (23.3 ± 1.1 years) and 8 old (72.1 ± 2.5 years) females was analyzed. CBT and energy metabolism were monitored during sleep using an ingestible temperature sensor in a metabolic chamber maintained at 25 °C. Skin temperature was measured at proximal and distal parts of the body. CBT, distal skin temperature, and DPG in older subjects were higher than in young subjects. Protein oxidation was similar between the two groups, but fat oxidation was lower and carbohydrate oxidation was higher in old subjects compared to young subjects. On the other hand, energy expenditure was similar between the two age groups. Thus, the elevated CBT in older subjects was not attributed to deteriorated heat dissipation or enhanced heat production, suggesting an alternative explanation such as deteriorated evaporative heat loss in old subjects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to validate the Japanese version of the Restorative Sleep Questionnaire Weekly version (RSQ-W-J) and estimate the RSQ-W-J cut-off score to identify the degree of non-restorative sleep (NRS) that interferes with daytime function. METHODS An online survey was conducted, and 513 participants (241 men, 272 women; mean age, 47.88 ± 16.66 years) completed the questionnaires. The RSQ-W-J, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, Athens Insomnia Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Sleep Debt Index, NRS and the degree of daytime dysfunction, and the diagnostic criteria for chronic insomnia were used as implementation scales. RESULTS The RSQ-W-J was confirmed to have a single-factor structure. Both the Cronbach α coefficient and test-retest reliability of RSQ-W-J were high (α = 0.91; intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]agreement = 0.85). The RSQ-W-J was significantly negatively correlated with the scales of fatigue, insomnia, depressive symptoms, daytime sleepiness, and sleep debt. In addition, the RSQ-W-J scores of the insomnia group, in which participants met the diagnostic criteria for chronic insomnia, NRS group, in which participants had NRS only, and sleep debt group, in which participants had sleep debt, were significantly lower than those in the normal sleep group. Furthermore, the insomnia group scored significantly lower than the sleep debt group. The RSQ-W-J cut-off score, which indicates whether or not NRS interferes with daytime function, was estimated to be 45.8 points.

[PMID: 38813006 PMCID: PMC10763801 DOI: 10.55730/1300-0144.5706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/aim Older adults tend to have more urinary tract infections (UTIs). The frequency of recurrent lower urinary tract infections (rLUTIs) increases with age. rLUTIs are associated with long-term chronic effects on geriatric syndromes in older adults. We aimed to investigate possible risk factors that influence rLUTIs in older adults based on comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). Materials and methods This cross-sectional study included 235 older adults admitted to Gaziantep University's Geriatric Outpatient Clinic between June 1 and November 30, 2022. All patients underwent CGA. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), the European Quality of Life-Five Dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Katz Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), the Lawton and Brody Index of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) tool were,administered. Handgrip strength (HGS) and gait speed were also measured, and the number of falls in the last year was recorded. Results The mean age of the participants was 72.8 ± 6.8 years and 61.3% were female. Sixty-four patients had rLUTIs. The rLUTI group had higher frequencies of sarcopenia, hypertension, and diabetes; higher numbers of comorbidities and medications; higher GDS and PSQI scores; and more reported falls. They had lower ADL, MNA, EQ-5D, and gait speed scores. HGS was found to be lower in women with rLUTIs. Higher numbers of comorbidities and GDS scores and lower HGS were independent predictors of rLUTIs in women (p = 0.011, OR: 1.75; p = 0.018, OR: 1.14; and p = 0.042, OR: 0.91, respectively). Conclusion We revealed that decreased HGS, higher GDS, and the number of comorbidities in older women were independent risk factors for rLUTIs. Our findings offer a new perspective on the importance of CGA in diagnosing and preventing rLUTIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biopsychosocial factors are involved in the occurrence of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to develop a clinical prediction rule (CPR) that considers biopsychosocial factors to predict which patients are more likely to develop CPSP after TKA. METHODS CPSP after TKA was dichotomized into CPSP and non-CPSP groups using the Likert scale and Minimal clinically important difference, and binomial logistic regression analysis was performed. Cut-off values were then calculated using the extracted factors and dichotomized variables. The cut-off values and dichotomized variables were then used to derive a CPR that discriminates between groups with and without CPSP. RESULTS Seventy-one TKA patients were included in the study. Binomial logistic regression analysis revealed that Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were associated with CPSP. The cut-off values for CSI and PSQI were 26 and 7, respectively. The CPSP scale was created using the cut-off values of CSI and PSQI, with a score of 0 for being below the cut-off values of both CSI and PSQI, 1 for being above the cut-off values of either CSI or PSQI, and 2 for being above the cut-off values of both CSI and PSQI. Furthermore, the area under the curve (AUC) for CPR created by the presence of CPSP and using the CPSP scale was significant (AUC = 0.766; P = 0.001). CONCLUSION The combination of the two tests, CSI and PSQI, suggested the possibility of predicting CPSP after TKA.

Abstract
Signs of suicidal depression often go undetected in primary care settings. This study explored predictive factors for depression with suicidal ideation (DSI) among middle-aged primary care patients at 6 months after an initial clinic visit. New patients aged 35-64 years were recruited from internal medicine clinics in Japan. Baseline characteristics were elicited using self-administered and physician questionnaires. DSI was evaluated using the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and the Profile of Mood States at enrollment and 6 months later. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to calculate adjusted odds ratios for DSI. Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios for associated factors were calculated. Among 387 patients, 13 (3.4%) were assessed as having DSI at 6 months. Adjusted for sex, age, and related factors, significant odds ratios for DSI were observed for "fatigue on waking ≥1/month" (7.90, 95% confidence intervals: 1.06-58.7), "fatigue on waking ≥1/week" (6.79, 1.02-45.1), "poor sleep status" (8.19, 1.05-63.8), and "relationship problems in the workplace" (4.24, 1.00-17.9). Fatigue on waking, sleep status, and workplace relationship problems may help predict DSI in primary care. Because the sample size in this investigation was small, further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
To disclose possible associations between poorer sleep quality and structural brain alterations in a non-psychiatric healthy population, this study investigated the association between the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and brain correlates, using a whole-brain approach. This study included 371 right-handed healthy adults (138 males, mean age: 46.4 ± 14.0 years [range: 18-75]) who were right-handed. Subjective sleep quality was assessed using the Japanese version of the PSQI (PSQI-J), and the cutoff score for poor subjective sleep quality was set at ≥ 6. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were performed to examine whether a higher score of the PSQI-J indicates, poorer sleep quality is associated with gray matter volume and white matter microstructure alternations, respectively. Among the participants, 38.8% had a PSQI-J cutoff score of ≥ 6. VBM did not reveal any correlation between PSQI-J scores and gray matter volume. However, DTI revealed that PSQI-J global scores were significantly and negatively correlated with diffuse white matter fractional anisotropy (FA) values (p < 0.05, corrected). Moreover, the PSQI-J sleep disturbance and use of sleep medication component scores were significantly and negatively correlated with right anterior thalamic radiation and diffuse white matter FA values, respectively (p < 0.05, corrected). There were no significant differences in gray matter volume and white matter metrics (FA, axial, radial, and mean diffusivities) between the groups with PSQI-J scores above or below the cutoff. Our findings suggest that lower sleep quality, especially the use of sleep medication, is associated with impaired white matter integrity in healthy adults. Limitations of this study are relatively small number of participants and cross-sectional design. Fine sleep quality, possibly preventing the use of sleep medication, may contribute to preserve white matter integrity in the brain of healthy adults.

Abstract
A high prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness and poor sleep quality has been reported in adolescents, but the effects of social jetlag on sleep quality and daytime sleepiness are unclear. Therefore, we assessed the association of sleep and eating patterns with daytime sleepiness and sleep quality among a total of 756 Japanese high school students. Participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to evaluate sleep quality, the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale to evaluate daytime sleepiness, and an 8-day sleep diary. Data on average sleep duration, social jetlag, midsleep on free days sleep corrected, and the differences in the first and last meal timing between school days and non-school days were obtained from participants' sleep diaries. The results reveal that social jetlag is associated with differences in the first meal timing between school days and non-school days, and that social jetlag of more than 2 hr is associated with extremely poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness in Japanese high school students. Our findings suggest that reducing social jetlag to within a 2-hr window is important to prevent poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness for this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the effects on sedentary behaviour of an approach that promotes reduction in sedentary behaviour in patients with minor ischaemic stroke after intervention and at follow-up. DESIGN A randomised controlled trial. SETTING During hospitalisation and after hospital discharge. SUBJECTS In total, 86 patients with minor ischaemic stroke admitted to an acute care hospital were assigned to the intervention (n = 43) and control (n = 43) groups. INTERVENTION An intervention group that received an approach to reduce sedentary behaviour upon hospital admission until 3 months after discharge (education, self-monitoring, phone calls, etc.) and a control group that received the usual care during hospitalisation. From 3 to 6 months after discharge, no group received any intervention. MAIN OUTCOME The primary outcome was the change (%) in sedentary behaviour from baseline to post-intervention (3 months after discharge) and follow-up (6 months after discharge). Sedentary behaviour was measured at baseline (upon hospital admission), post-intervention, and at follow-up using accelerometers. RESULTS At the post-intervention stage, the intervention group showed a significantly greater change in sedentary behaviour from baseline than that shown by the control group (sedentary behaviour: intervention group, -22.7%; control group, -14.9%; P = 0.013; effect size = 0.58). At follow-up too, the intervention group showed a significantly greater change in sedentary behaviour from baseline than that shown by the control group (sedentary behaviour: intervention group, -20.4%; control group, -13.6%; P = 0.025; effect size = 0.54). CONCLUSIONS An approach to reduce sedentary behaviour in patients with minor ischaemic stroke effectively reduces sedentary behaviour, which is sustained up to follow-up.

Abstract
This study examined whether subjective and objective sleep parameters (sleep stage, electroencephalography [EEG] power, heart rate variability) are related to the progression of sleep cycles using differences in the variables between two nights. We hypothesized that the association between night-to-night differences between subjective and objective sleep variables reflect the difference in objective sleep variables in the first sleep cycle. Seventy-seven healthy adults (23.8 ± 2.2 years; 41 females) participated in polysomnographic recordings on two consecutive nights. To extract the variables that represent the difference between the nights, the sleep parameters of Night 1 were subtracted from those of Night 2. Spearman's rho was used to assess correlations between subjective sleep assessments and objective sleep parameters, with false discovery rate correction for multiple comparisons. Subjective sleep assessments were significantly correlated with whole-night sleep architecture and quantitative EEG activity, but not with heart rate variability during the night. Among sleep cycles, subjective sleep parameters were correlated with the objective sleep parameters in the first sleep cycle ("Ease of falling asleep" vs. waking after sleep onset [r = - 0.382], "Depth of sleep" vs. EEG theta power [r = 0.404], "Quality of sleep" vs. the percentage of stage N3 [r = 0.412] and EEG delta power [r = 0.458], all p < 0.05). These results suggest the importance of taking the difference among the nights into account when assessing subjective sleep quality. This study clarified that sleep in the first sleep cycle has a dominant influence on subjective sleep assessments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sleep quality is associated with many diseases and conditions that affect individuals' health in various ways. We aimed to investigate the association between sleep quality and common geriatric conditions in older adults. METHODS The study included 237 older adults admitted to the geriatric outpatient clinic of a university hospital. All patients underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), European Quality of Life (EQ-5D), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Lawton and Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) questionnaires, Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment (TBGA), and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) were performed on the participants. RESULTS Participants had a mean age of 72.2 ± 6.3 years, and 146 (61.6%) of them had poor sleep quality. Of the participants, 61.2% were female. In the poor sleep quality group, GDS and BAI scores were higher while ADL, IADL, MNA, and EQ-5D index scores were lower. PSQI score had a negative correlation with ADL (r = -.207, p = .01), EQ-5D index (r = -.372, p = .00), MNA (r = -.277, p = .00), and TBGA (r = -.263, p = .41) scores and a positive correlation with GDS (r = .426, p = .00) and BAI (r = .450, p = .00) scores according to the results of correlation analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and higher GDS and BAI scores were independent variables for poor sleep quality [(p = .48, OR = 1.92; p = .20, OR = 1.11; and p <.01, OR = 1.11, respectively)]. CONCLUSIONS We found that DM and depressive and anxiety symptoms were the risks of poor sleep quality. In addition, participants with poor sleep quality had a worse quality-of-life and nutritional status. Improving sleep quality may be helpful in the management of geriatric syndromes and that sleep quality assessment should be part of CGA.

Abstract
Background: The purpose of the present research was to identify nutrients related to sleep bruxism and to establish a hypothesis regarding the relationship between sleep bruxism and nutrients. Methods: We recruited 143 Japanese university students in 2021 and assigned them to sleep bruxism (n = 58) and non-sleep bruxism groups (n = 85), using an identical single-channel wearable electromyography device. To investigate nutrient intakes, participants answered a food frequency questionnaire based on food groups. We assessed differences in nutrient intakes between the sleep bruxism and non-sleep bruxism groups. Results: Logistic regression modeling showed that sleep bruxism tended to be associated with dietary fiber (odds ratio, 0.91; 95% confidence interval, 0.83–1.00; p = 0.059). In addition, a subgroup analysis selecting students in the top and bottom quartiles of dietary fiber intake showed that students with sleep bruxism had a significantly lower dietary fiber intake (10.4 ± 4.6 g) than those without sleep bruxism (13.4 ± 6.1 g; p = 0.022). Conclusion: The present research showed that dietary fiber intake may be related to sleep bruxism. Therefore, we hypothesized that dietary fiber would improve sleep bruxism in young adults.

Plasma neuropeptide levels in patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depressive disorder and healthy controls: A multiplex immunoassay study. Neuropsychopharmacol Rep 2023; 43:57-68. [PMID: 36414415 PMCID: PMC10009433 DOI: 10.1002/npr2.12304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
AIM We aimed to compare neuropeptide levels between patients with major psychiatric disorders and healthy controls and examine their association with symptoms and cognitive function. METHODS The participants were 149 patients with schizophrenia, 115 patients with bipolar disorder (BD), 186 unremitted patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), and 350 healthy controls. Psychiatric (schizophrenic, manic, and depressive) symptoms, sleep state, and cognitive (premorbid intelligence quotient, general cognitive, and memory) functions were evaluated. A multiplex immunoassay kit was used to measure cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), β-endorphin, neurotensin, oxytocin, and substance P levels. RESULTS The verification assay revealed that CSF α-MSH, β-endorphin, neurotensin, oxytocin, and substance P levels were too low to be reliably measured, while plasma α-MSH, β-endorphin, neurotensin, oxytocin, and substance P levels could be successfully measured. Plasma α-MSH, β-endorphin, neurotensin, oxytocin, and substance P levels were not significantly different between patients with schizophrenia, BD, or MDD and healthy controls. Plasma α-MSH, β-endorphin, neurotensin, oxytocin, and substance P levels were not significantly correlated with psychiatric symptom scores in patients with schizophrenia, BD, or MDD and cognitive function scores in patients or healthy controls. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that plasma neuropeptide levels do not elucidate the involvement of neuropeptides in the pathology of schizophrenia, BD, or MDD.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of shiatsu therapy for chronic low back pain and sleep disturbance. We conducted a secondary analysis of the randomized trial at a large academic hospital in Tokyo. Patients with chronic low back pain were included. Patients were randomly assigned to either shiatsu therapy in addition to standard care or standard care only by computer randomization. Our primary outcome was improvement of the global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score, and the secondary outcomes were improvement in each component of the PSQI at weeks 4 and 8. We included a total of 59 patients. The mean age was 67.8 (SD: 13.5) years, and 21 patients (35.6%) were male. The global PSQI scores improved in the intervention group at week 4 (adjusted β coefficient: 1.16, 95% confidence interval: 0.10-2.21) and week 8 (adjusted β coefficient: 1.82, 95% confidence interval: 0.74-2.90). In terms of each component of the PSQI, sleep efficiency (component 4) and sleep disturbance (component 5) were improved, but use of sleep medication (component 5) worsened in the intervention group compared with the control group in several models. Shiatsu therapy in addition to standard therapy for chronic low back pain may improve sleep quality after intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the relationship between the number of chronic pain sites and the prevalence and severity of neuropathic-like symptoms in community-dwelling older Japanese adults with chronic pain. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING The data analysed are from a study conducted in the city of Itoshima, Japan in 2017. PARTICIPANTS The study population was 988 participants (age 65-75 years) not in need of long-term care who completed questionnaires assessing sociodemographic factors, psychological factors and chronic pain. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the participants' neuropathic-like symptoms evaluated by the PainDETECT Questionnaire (PD-Q). We classified the participants into mild and moderate-to-severe pain groups according to the pain intensity on the PD-Q. The number of chronic pain sites was categorised into groups with 1, 2-3 and ≥4 sites. RESULTS The age-adjusted and sex-adjusted prevalence of neuropathic-like symptoms was significantly higher among the participants with 2-3 or ≥4 sites compared with the single-site group. In the binomial logistic regression analyses, the multivariable-adjusted ORs and 95% CIs for neuropathic-like symptoms among the participants with 2-3 and ≥4 sites were 1.94 (1.13 to 3.33) and 3.90 (2.22 to 6.85), respectively compared with the participants with single-site pain. The ORs for moderate-to-severe neuropathic-like symptoms increased significantly with the increase in the number of chronic pain sites. CONCLUSIONS The number of chronic pain sites was positively associated with the presence and severity of neuropathic-like symptoms in community-dwelling older Japanese adults with chronic pain.

Abstract
Presenteeism is the loss of productivity due to a worker's health problems, despite the worker being present at the workplace. Although the association between presenteeism and insomnia complaints is well known, few studies have examined the association between insomnia severity and presenteeism. This study aimed to explore the association between insomnia severity and presenteeism. This study included 1925 participants (1543 males, 379 females, and three of other genders) in total. The mean age of the participants was 49.94 ± 9.82 years. The inclusion criteria were full-time employment, working 8 hr per day and 5 days per week, and having no night shifts. The insomnia severity was classified based on the Insomnia Severity Index and Athens Insomnia Scale criteria. Logistic regression analysis showed that moderate and severe insomnia severity were associated to a greater magnitude with presenteeism than mild insomnia severity. Severe insomnia severity was associated to a greater magnitude with presenteeism than moderate insomnia severity. In summary, logistic regression analysis showed that increased insomnia severity based on Insomnia Severity Index classification was associated with increased odds of presenteeism, but increased insomnia severity based on Athens Insomnia Scale classification was not fully consistent with increased odds of presenteeism. Because increased insomnia severity is associated with worsening of presenteeism, early detection of and early intervention against insomnia complaints are important for reducing presenteeism. This study was the first to examine the associations between presenteeism and insomnia severity classification of no insomnia, mild, moderate, and severe insomnia severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The burden of COVID-19 on healthcare workers (HCWs) is reported to be increasing, yet the psychometric scales now in use evaluate only single aspects; few measure the pandemic-specific burden on HCWs comprehensively. OBJECTIVE To develop a scale to quantify the physical, mental, and socioeconomic burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on HCWs. DESIGN Scale development and cross-sectional survey. PARTICIPANTS Consenting HCWs aged ≥20. MAIN MEASURES Development of an item-list based on literature reviews and HCW panel input, evaluation of content validity and item selection using the Delphi method, psychometric testing conducted on HCWs, validity assessment by factor analyses and hypothesis verification, internal consistency evaluation by Cronbach's alpha, test-retest analysis, and interpretability assessment. KEY RESULTS Through the Delphi process, a 29-item pilot scale was generated. In psychometric testing, data from 863 HCWs contributed to the development of the final version of this scale, called Pandemic Burden Index twenty for HCWs (PBI-20), a 20-item scale to measure six domains: fatigue, fear of infection, inadequacy as a medical professional, mental health concerns, prejudice or discrimination, and anxiety about one's livelihood and daily life. Factor analysis showed each factor corresponded to the six domains of this scale. Hypothesis verification showed the PBI-20 total score to be moderately to highly correlated with the Short Form 36 vitality score and mental health score and with intention of turnover. The PBI-20 had good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.92). Test-retest analysis showed the intraclass correlation coefficient to be 0.70 and the minimal important change to be -7.0. CONCLUSIONS The psychometrically sound questionnaire we developed to measure pandemic-specific burdens for HCWs provides an understanding of comprehensive burdens on HCWs and may serve to evaluate interventions to reduce the burdens.

Abstract
A complex urban living environment and residents' sleep quality are intrinsically linked. Nonetheless, there is little evidence that the residential environment affects sleep quality. Based on the results of subjective questionnaires, this study uses the multiple regression combined with mediation analysis to construct a mechanical model of the impact of urban residential environmental perception characteristics on residents' sleep quality. Moreover, the differences among the influence intensities of the significant factors are compared and the results show that (1) in low-density environments (FAR < 2) and lower floors (4-6), residents sleep longer and have better sleep quality; (2) the environmental quality and service facilities of the physical environment and the sense of safety in the social environment have a significant impact on residents' sleep quality; and (3) the mental health of residents play a significant intermediary role in the relationship between social environment and sleep quality, with the highest effect accounting for 33.88%. The influence mechanisms of various environmental factors in a residential area on sleep quality were revealed and a more refined design basis for a healthy urban living environment, community renewal, and renovation was provided.

Royal Jelly Increases Hematopoietic Stem Cells in Peripheral Blood: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Trial in Healthy Subjects. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2023; 2023:7665515. [PMID: 36686976 PMCID: PMC9859695 DOI: 10.1155/2023/7665515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Objectives Royal jelly (RJ), produced by honeybees, influences stem cell functions, such as pluripotency maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cells and prevention of aging-related muscle stem cell functional deterioration. Thus, we hypothesized that RJ administration has various health-promoting effects based on stem cells. However, its effects are unknown in humans. In this study, we have attempted for the first time to clarify whether the administration of RJ in humans affects stem cells. Materials and Methods This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was performed on healthy subjects (n = 90) who received protease-treated RJ at a dose of 1200 mg/day or placebo daily for four weeks. Also, the participants with a low number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in peripheral blood were preferentially selected. HSC counts, endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) counts, blood cell counts in peripheral blood, cytokines in serum, and physical conditions were evaluated. Results and Conclusion. Eligible data from 86 subjects (placebo: 42, RJ: 44) who completed the study were analyzed. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the changes in peripheral HSC count (p=0.103), while diastolic blood pressure showed a significant improvement in the RJ group compared to that in the placebo group (p=0.032). The subgroup analysis excluded 14 subjects who complained of cold symptoms at baseline or within five days of the four-week study. The changes in the HSC populations were significantly higher in the RJ group than those in the placebo group (p=0.042). No adverse effects were observed in any of the groups. These results suggest that RJ administration affected the peripheral HSC count and may influence stem cell functions. Further research is needed to reveal the various health-promoting benefits of RJ based on stem cells.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to explore the role of sleep quality as a mediator in the activities of daily living (ADLs) and depression. Patients and Methods Participants (N=645; age≥60) were included in six nursing homes in Weifang, Shandong Province, using convenience sampling. Participants completed questionnaires to assess sleep quality, ADLs, and depression. Depression condition was assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), ADLs was assessed by the Barthel Index (BI), and sleep quality was measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Mediation analysis was carried out by SPSS PROCESS. Results ADLs (r=0.449, P<0.01) and sleep quality (r=0.450, P<0.01) were found to be positively associated with depression among the elderly. Sleep quality plays a significant mediating role in the influence of ADLs on depression in the elderly in nursing homes (Bootstrap 95% CI [0.076, 0.139]), The pathway from ADLs to sleep quality to depression yielded a medium effect size of 20.23%. Conclusion ADLs help to explain how sleep quality partly mediates depression among the elderly in nursing homes. It is therefore recommended that timely detection and efficient interventions should focus on promoting physical function and improving sleep quality among the elderly in nursing homes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to quantify the sleep disturbances caused by climate change using disability-adjusted life years (DALY). The revised sleep quality index for daily sleep (SQIDS2), a self-administered questionnaire for daily sleep quality, was developed to assess daily sleep disturbances. This questionnaire referenced and simplified the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). This study was conducted in Nagoya City in August 2011 and 2012. Sleep quality was measured using SQIDS2 and PSQI. A total of 574 participants in 2011 and 710 in 2012 responded to the survey. The sleep disturbance prevalence calculated from the SQIDS2 score was correlated with the daily minimum temperature (p = 0.0067). This score increased when the daily minimum temperature was above 24.8 °C. When correcting for the PSQI score, DALY loss due to heat-related sleep disturbances in Nagoya City (population: 2,266,851) was estimated to be 81.8 years in 2012. This value was comparable to the DALY loss due to heatstroke. Sleep disturbance due to climate change was quantified using the DALY based on the PSQI. Legislators must recognize the critical impact of the damage caused by sleep disturbances due to high temperatures at night. Additionally, a daily minimum temperature of 25 °C should be the starting point when establishing a goal or guideline for nighttime temperature.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Vitamin D deficiency is associated with restless legs syndrome (RLS). However, a cutoff value for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) level associated with RLS has yet to be clearly determined. We evaluated the association between 25(OH)D and RLS in pregnant women. METHODS Data from 203 pregnant women were evaluated using blood samples taken in the third trimester. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and ligand binding assays were used to measure 25(OH)D. RLS was diagnosed based on International Classification of Sleep Disorders, third edition, criteria. The cutoff value for serum 25(OH)D associated with RLS was explored using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and classification and regression tree (CART) analyses. RESULTS The results of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (x) and ligand binding assays (y) for serum 25(OH)D in the RLS (n = 35, 17.2%) and non-RLS (n = 168) groups showed a relationship of y = -2.65 + 0.08x . The RLS group showed lower serum 25(OH)D and folate levels. ROC curve and CART analyses revealed cutoff values of 10-12.7 ng/mL and 6.6-7.2 ng/mL for 25(OH)D and folate, respectively. Of the 5 women with RLS symptoms persisting at a moderate-to-severe level after delivery, 4 had 25(OH)D levels < 10 ng/mL and all had folate levels < 6 ng/mL. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D and folate deficiency were associated with RLS in pregnant women and may be associated with persistent moderate-to-severe postpartum RLS symptomatology; it is essential to examine associations with RLS while accounting for measurement methods and assay systems.

Abstract
Social jetlag is a recent problem that is associated with a wide range of issues in the context of modern life. However, differences in the effects of social jetlag on sleep quality between young and middle-aged workers remain unclear. Accordingly, we aimed to examine the different effects of social jetlag on sleep quality in young (20-39 years) and middle-aged (40-59 years) workers from one factory. We included 106 male full-time workers (average age: 35.8 ± 11.5 years) who worked at the Kobe Factory of Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. Social jetlag was evaluated using the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire Japanese Version. Subjective sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Japanese Version. Chronotype was determined using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire Japanese Version (MEQ), while the health-related quality-of-life was evaluated using a revised version of the MOS 36-Item Short-Form Survey. Furthermore, we examined factors related to sleep quality in each age group using multiple regression analysis. Subjective sleep quality in the analysis set was poor; moreover, 39.4% of the participants had social jetlag for ≥ 1 h. Compared with middle-aged workers, young workers showed significantly longer and lower social jetlag and MEQ scores, respectively. Multiple regression analysis revealed that mental health and social jet lag were significantly associated with sleep quality in young participants. Contrastingly, social jetlag was not associated with sleep quality in middle-aged workers. Our findings demonstrate the importance of considering the effects of age-based factors on sleep quality.

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to determine whether the association of sleep status with frailty differs between age groups of older adults. Method: This cross-sectional study was part of the observational Septuagenarians, Octogenarians, Nonagenarians Investigation with Centenarians (SONIC) study. Subjects were community-dwelling older adults in their 70s and 80s. Frailty was evaluated using the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria (J-CHS). Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep status. Poor sleep quality was defined as a PSQI global score ≥6. Sleep duration was categorized as short (<6 hr), normal (6-8), and long (>8). We performed multivariable logistic regression to investigate the association between sleep status and frailty separately for each age group adjusted for multiple covariates. Results: In those in their 70s, long sleep duration and sleep medication use were independently associated with frailty. In those in their 80s, poor sleep quality was independently associated with frailty. Conclusions: The association between sleep status and frailty was different between age groups. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating the evaluation of sleep quantity and non-pharmacological therapies in those in their 70s and the evaluation of sleep quality in those in their 80s to help prevent the onset of frailty.

Abstract
Although sleep issues are among the symptoms commonly experienced by the non-professional caregiver population, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is the most widely used instrument for the assessment of sleep quality, this has not been validated specifically for this population. The objective of this study was to analyze the factorial structure and psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the PSQI in a sample of Spanish non-professional caregivers. Trained clinical psychologists assessed sleep quality using the PSQI, as well as caregiver burden and psychological distress in 201 non-professional caregivers (87.1% female, Mage = 56.2 years). The internal consistency of the PSQI was 0.75. The two-factor model (Sleep quality and Disturbances) had an acceptable fit to the data, was found to be superior to the one-factor model, and more parsimonious than the three-factor model. There was a significant correlation between the PSQI and caregiver burden, as well as between the PSQI and psychological distress (p < 0.001 in all cases). A total score ≥ 9 allowed the identification of caregivers with possible anxiety and depression disorders (sensitivity 70.5%, specificity 71.9%). The results show that the PSQI is a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of sleep quality in caregivers.

A lower sleep regularity index (SRI) is associated with relapse in individuals with alcohol use disorder following inpatient treatment. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21583. [PMID: 36517535 PMCID: PMC9750995 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-26019-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The sleep regularity index (SRI) is used to measure an individual's sleep/wake consistency over time. The SRI has been associated with certain health risks; to date, research investigating the relationship between the SRI and relapse in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) is lacking. The aim of this work was to evaluate the SRI and relapse in individuals with AUD following inpatient treatment. Individuals with AUD (n = 77, mean age = 49.5 ± 10.86) were assessed for 28-days following discharge from an inpatient treatment program. Logistic regression was applied to examine the impact of SRI on relapse as the outcome variable of interest. Sleep quality was lower in individuals who relapsed compared to those who did not. Moreover, SRI scores were significantly worse in those who relapsed compared to those who did not. Over the entire patient cohort, lower weekly SRI scores were significantly correlated with longer weekly nap duration. Logistic regression model results indicated that the overall SRI was a significant predictor of relapse. The SRI represents a relevant aspect of sleep health and should be considered when assessing an individual's sleeping patterns. Behavior based interventions related to the importance of individualized consistency in sleep and wake patterns may be particularly important for treatment seeking individuals with AUD not only during inpatient treatment, but also once these individuals have transitioned into their outpatient phase of recovery. These findings support the notion of SRI as a separate facet of sleep health worth investigating in at-risk, disease specific groups.

Abstract
Rationale: The long-term effects of using a high-flow nasal cannula for chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease remain unclear. Objectives: To assess whether long-term high-flow nasal cannula use reduces the number of exacerbations and improves other physiological parameters in patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: We enrolled 104 participants (aged ⩾40 yr) with daytime hypercapnia (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease stages 2-4) receiving long-term oxygen therapy (⩾16 h/d for ⩾1 mo) and randomly assigned them to high-flow nasal cannula/long-term oxygen therapy and long-term oxygen therapy groups. The primary endpoint was the moderate or severe exacerbation rate. We compared changes from baseline in arterial blood gas values, peripheral oxygen saturation, pulmonary function, health-related quality-of-life scores, and the 6-minute-walk test. Measurements and Main Results: High-flow nasal cannula use significantly reduced the rate of moderate/severe exacerbations (unadjusted mean count 1.0 vs. 2.5, a ratio of the adjusted mean count between groups [95% confidence interval] of 2.85 [1.48-5.47]) and prolonged the duration without moderate or severe exacerbations. The median time to first moderate or severe exacerbation in the long-term oxygen therapy group was 25 (14.1-47.4) weeks; this was not reached in the high-flow nasal cannula/long-term oxygen therapy group. High-flow nasal cannula use significantly improved health-related quality of life scores, peripheral oxygen saturation, and specific pulmonary function parameters. No safety concerns were identified. Conclusions: A high-flow nasal cannula is a reasonable therapeutic option for patients with stable hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and a history of exacerbations.
