Abstract
Aerobic exercise induces mast cell degranulation and increases histamine formation by histidine decarboxylase, resulting in an ∼150% increase in intramuscular histamine. The purpose of this study was to determine if the increase in skeletal muscle temperature associated with exercise is sufficient to explain this histamine response. Specifically, we hypothesized that local passive heating that mimics the magnitude and time course of changes in skeletal muscle temperature observed during exercise would result in increased intramuscular histamine concentrations comparable to exercising values. Seven subjects participated in the main study in which pulsed short-wave diathermy was used to passively raise the temperature of the vastus lateralis over 60 min. Heating increased intramuscular temperature from 32.6°C [95% confidence interval (CI) 32.0°C to 33.2°C] to 38.9°C (38.7°C to 39.2°C) (P < 0.05) and increased intramuscular histamine concentration from 2.14 ng/mL (1.92 to 2.36 ng/mL) to 2.97 ng/mL (2.57 to 3.36 ng/mL) (P < 0.05), an increase of 41%. In a follow-up in vitro experiment using human-derived cultured mast cells, heating to comparable temperatures did not activate mast cell degranulation. Therefore, it appears that exercise-associated changes in skeletal muscle temperature are sufficient to generate elevations in intramuscular histamine concentration. However, this thermal effect is most likely due to changes in de novo histamine formation via histidine decarboxylase and not due to degranulation of mast cells. In conclusion, physiologically relevant increases in skeletal muscle temperature explain part, but not all, of the histamine response to aerobic exercise. This thermal effect may be important in generating positive adaptations to exercise training.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The "exercise signal" that triggers histamine release within active skeletal muscle during aerobic exercise is unknown. By mimicking the magnitude and time course of increasing skeletal muscle temperature observed during aerobic exercise, we demonstrate that part of the exercise-induced rise in histamine is explained by a thermal effect, with in vitro experiments suggesting this is most likely via de novo histamine formation. This thermal effect may be important in generating positive adaptations to exercise training.

Abstract
The underlying mechanisms and treatment of painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are important but understudied topics in craniofacial research. As a group of musculoskeletal diseases, the onset of painful TMD is proved to be a result of disturbance of multiple systems. Recently, emerging evidence has revealed the involvement of neuroimmune interactions in painful TMD. Inflammatory factors play an important role in peripheral sensitization of temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and neurogenic inflammation in turn enhances TMJs dysfunction in TMD. Furthermore, centralized neuroimmune communications contribute to neuron excitability amplification, leading to pain sensitization, and is also responsible for chronic TMD pain and other CNS symptoms. Therapeutics targeting neuroimmune interactions may shed light on new approaches for treating TMD. In this review, we will discuss the role of neuroimmune interactions in the onset of painful TMD from the peripheral and centralized perspectives, and how understanding this mechanism could provide new treatment options. Insights into the neuroimmune interactions within TMJs and painful TMD would broaden the knowledge of mechanisms and treatments of this multifactorial disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep bruxism (SB) management aims to reduce the number and magnitude of bruxism episodes per hour of a patient's sleep and, therefore, reduce the potentially negative clinical consequences. Opipramol belongs to the group of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and is considered as an atypical TCA, as it acts primarily as a sigma receptor agonist. This study aimed to preliminarily determine the effectiveness of opipramol in the management of severe SB. METHODS A total of 19 otherwise healthy participants with severe SB diagnosed during stage I video polysomnography (vPSG) were subjected to an 8-week pharmacotherapy trial with a 100 mg bedtime daily dose of opipramol and were then analyzed by control stage II vPSG. RESULTS The participants included 14 females and 5 males, aged 20-47 years (mean ± standard deviation: 32.32 ± 8.12). A comparison of stage I and II vPSG recordings showed a decrease in all the studied SB parameters in 78.85% of participants. Only in a small group of participants (15.53%) was a non-significant increase of SB parameters observed. CONCLUSIONS A single 100 mg dose of opipramol at bedtime seems to positively affect the reduction of SB in otherwise healthy individuals diagnosed with severe SB. However, the subject requires further research on a larger population including a control group.

Abstract
Histamine mediates vasodilation during inflammatory and immune responses, as well as following endurance exercise. During exercise, intramuscular histamine concentration increases, and its production, appears related to exercise intensity and duration. However, whether histamine contributes to exercise hyperemia and promotes exercise blood flow in an intensity- or duration-dependent pattern is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare leg blood flow across a range of exercise intensities, before and after prolonged exercise, with and without histamine-receptor antagonism. It was hypothesized that combined oral histamine H1/H2-receptor antagonism would decrease leg blood flow, and the effect would be greater at higher intensities and following prolonged exercise. Sixteen (7F, 9M) volunteers performed single-leg knee-extension exercise after consuming either placebo or combined histamine H1/H2-receptor antagonists (Blockade). Exercise consisted of two graded protocols at 20, 40, 60, and 80% of peak power, separated by 60 min of knee-extension exercise at 60% of peak power. Femoral artery blood flow was measured by ultrasonography. Femoral artery blood flow increased with exercise intensity up to 2,660 ± 97 mL/min at 80% of peak power during Placebo (P < 0.05). Blood flow was further elevated with Blockade to 2,836 ± 124 mL/min (P < 0.05) at 80% peak power (9.1 ± 4.8% higher than placebo). These patterns were not affected by prolonged exercise (P = 0.13). On average, femoral blood flow during prolonged exercise was 12.7 ± 2.8% higher with Blockade vs. Placebo (P < 0.05). Contrary to the hypothesis, these results suggest that histamine receptor antagonism during exercise, regardless of intensity or duration, increases leg blood flow measured by ultrasonography.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Leg blood flow during exercise was increased by taking antihistamines, which block the receptors for histamine, a molecule often associated with inflammatory and immune responses. The elevated blood flow occurred over exercise intensities ranging from 20 to 80% of peak capacity and during exercise of 60 min duration. These results suggest that exercise-induced elevations in histamine concentrations are involved in novel, poorly understood, and perhaps complex ways in the exercise response.

Abstract
Cytokines are proteins secreted by diverse types of immune and non-immune cells and play a role in the communication between the immune and nervous systems. Cytokines include lymphokines, monokines, chemokines, interleukins, interferons, colony stimulating factors, and growth factors. They can be both pro- and anti-inflammatory and have autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine activities. These proteins are involved in initiation and persistence of pain, and the progress of hyperalgesia and allodynia, upon stimulating nociceptive sensory neurons, and inducing central sensitization. The objective of this review is to discuss several types of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators and their relation with inflammatory pain in masticatory muscles.

Abstract
Histamine is released within skeletal muscle during exercise. In humans, antihistamines have no effect on speed, power output, or time-to-completion of short-duration high-intensity exercise. In mice, blocking histamine's actions decreases speed and duration of endurance tasks. It is unknown if these opposing outcomes are the result of differences in histamine's actions between species or are related to duration and/or intensity of exercise, as blocking histamine during endurance exercise has not been examined in humans. PURPOSE Determine the effects of histamine-receptor antagonism on cycling time trial performance in humans, with and without a preceding bout of sustained steady-state exercise. METHODS Eleven (3F) competitive cyclists performed six 10-km time trials on separate days. The first two time trials served as familiarization. The next four time trials were performed in randomized-block order, where two were preceded by 120 min of seated rest (rest) and two by 120 min of cycling exercise (Exercise) at 50% V˙O2peak. Within each block, subjects consumed either combined histamine H1 and H2 receptor antagonists (Blockade) or Placebo, before the start of the 120-min Rest/Exercise. RESULTS Blockade had no discernible effects on hemodynamic or metabolic variables during Rest or Exercise. However, Blockade increased time-to-completion of the 10-km time trial compared with Placebo (+10.5 ± 3.7 s, P < 0.05). Slowing from placebo to blockade was not different between rest (+8.7 ± 5.2 s) and Exercise (+12.3 ± 5.8 s, P = 0.716). CONCLUSIONS Exercise-related histaminergic signaling appears inherent to endurance exercise and may play a role in facilitating optimal function during high-intensity endurance exercise.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that histamine-a regulator of the microcirculation-may play important roles in exercise. We have shown that the histamine-forming enzyme histidine decarboxylase (HDC) is induced in skeletal muscles by prolonged muscular work (PMW). However, histological analysis of such HDC induction is lacking due to appropriate anti-HDC antibodies being unavailable. We also showed that the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α can induce HDC, and that PMW increases both IL-1α and IL-1β in skeletal muscles. Here, we examined the effects (a) of PMW on the histological evidence of HDC induction and (b) of IL-1β and TNF-α on HDC activity in skeletal muscles. By immunostaining using a recently introduced commercial polyclonal anti-HDC antibody, we found that cells in the endomysium and around blood vessels, and also some muscle fibers themselves, became HDC-positive after PMW. After PMW, TNF-α, but not IL-1α or IL-1β, was detected in the blood serum. The minimum intravenous dose of IL-1β that would induce HDC activity was about 1/10 that of TNF-α, while in combination they synergistically augmented HDC activity. These results suggest that PMW induces HDC in skeletal muscles, including cells in the endomysium and around blood vessels, and also some muscle fibers themselves, and that IL-1β and TNF-α may cooperatively mediate this induction.

Abstract
In humans, histamine is a molecular transducer of physical activity responses, and antihistamines modify more than 25% of the genes responding to exercise. Although the upstream signal that results in release of histamine within exercising skeletal muscle remains to be identified, it is likely a fundamental exercise response and not an allergic reaction.

Abstract
Recovery from exercise refers to the time period between the end of a bout of exercise and the subsequent return to a resting or recovered state. It also refers to specific physiological processes or states occurring after exercise that are distinct from the physiology of either the exercising or the resting states. In this context, recovery of the cardiovascular system after exercise occurs across a period of minutes to hours, during which many characteristics of the system, even how it is controlled, change over time. Some of these changes may be necessary for long-term adaptation to exercise training, yet some can lead to cardiovascular instability during recovery. Furthermore, some of these changes may provide insight into when the cardiovascular system has recovered from prior training and is physiologically ready for additional training stress. This review focuses on the most consistently observed hemodynamic adjustments and the underlying causes that drive cardiovascular recovery and will highlight how they differ following resistance and aerobic exercise. Primary emphasis will be placed on the hypotensive effect of aerobic and resistance exercise and associated mechanisms that have clinical relevance, but if left unchecked, can progress to symptomatic hypotension and syncope. Finally, we focus on the practical application of this information to strategies to maximize the benefits of cardiovascular recovery, or minimize the vulnerabilities of this state. We will explore appropriate field measures, and discuss to what extent these can guide an athlete's training.

Abstract
Pain is sensed, transmitted, and modified by a variety of mediators and receptors. Histamine is a well-known mediator of pain. In addition to their anti-histaminic effects, the classical, or 1st generation, anti-histamines (1st AHs) possess, to various degrees, anti-muscarinic, anti-serotonergic, anti-adrenergic, and other pharmacologic effects. Although there have been attempts to use 1st AHs as analgesics and/or analgesic adjuvants, the advent of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) discouraged such trials. We previously reported that in patients with temporomandibular disorders, osteoporosis, and/or osteoarthritis, the analgesic effects of certain 1st AHs (chlorpheniramine and diphenhydramine) are superior to those of the NSAIDs flurbiprofen and indomethacin. Here, we compared analgesic effects among 1st AHs and NSAIDs against responses shown by mice to intraperitoneally injected 0.7% acetic acid. Since 1st AHs are water soluble, we selected water-soluble NSAIDs. For direct comparison, drugs were intravenously injected 30 min before the above tests. Histamine-H1-receptor-deficient (H1R-KO) mice were used for evaluating H1-receptor-independent effects. The tested 1st AHs (especially cyproheptadine) displayed or tended to display analgesic effects comparable to those of NSAIDs in normal and H1R-KO mice. Our data suggest that the anti-serotonergic and/or anti-adrenergic effects of 1st AHs make important contributions to their analgesic effects. Moreover, combination of a 1st AH with an NSAID (cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitor) produced remarkably potent analgesic effects. We propose that a 1st AH, by itself or in combination with a cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitor, should undergo testing to evaluate its usefulness in analgesia.

Abstract
In humans, acute aerobic exercise elicits a sustained postexercise vasodilation within previously active skeletal muscle. This response is dependent on activation of histamine H1 and H2 receptors, but the source of intramuscular histamine remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that interstitial histamine in skeletal muscle would be increased with exercise and would be dependent on de novo formation via the inducible enzyme histidine decarboxylase and/or mast cell degranulation. Subjects performed 1 h of unilateral dynamic knee-extension exercise or sham (seated rest). We measured the interstitial histamine concentration and local blood flow (ethanol washout) via skeletal muscle microdialysis of the vastus lateralis. In some probes, we infused either α-fluoromethylhistidine hydrochloride (α-FMH), a potent inhibitor of histidine decarboxylase, or histamine H1/H2-receptor blockers. We also measured interstitial tryptase concentrations, a biomarker of mast cell degranulation. Compared with preexercise, histamine was increased after exercise by a change (Δ) of 4.2 ± 1.8 ng/ml (P < 0.05), but not when α-FMH was administered (Δ-0.3 ± 1.3 ng/ml, P = 0.9). Likewise, local blood flow after exercise was reduced to preexercise levels by both α-FMH and H1/H2 blockade. In addition, tryptase was elevated during exercise by Δ6.8 ± 1.1 ng/ml (P < 0.05). Taken together, these data suggest that interstitial histamine in skeletal muscle increases with exercise and results from both de novo formation and mast cell degranulation. This suggests that exercise produces an anaphylactoid signal, which affects recovery, and may influence skeletal muscle blood flow during exercise.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Blood flow to previously active skeletal muscle remains elevated following an acute bout of aerobic exercise and is dependent on activation of histamine H1 and H2 receptors. The intramuscular source of histamine that drives this response to exercise has not been identified. Using intramuscular microdialysis in exercising humans, we show both mast cell degranulation and formation of histamine by histidine decarboxylase contributes to the histamine-mediated vasodilation that occurs following a bout of aerobic exercise.
