How Do Exercise, Sleep and Depression Affect Disease Scores and Quality of Life in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Patients? Int J Gen Med 2024; 17:2981-2991. [PMID: 39006915 PMCID: PMC11246030 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s465367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS) has many effects such as fatigue, pain, physical activity limitation and sleep disturbance, which limit patient's daily and social lives. The aim of our study was to assess fatigue, depression, physical activity status and quality of life in patients with PSS, and to determine the relationship between these data and disease-related parameters. Patients and Methods This study was conducted with 117 primary Sjögren's syndrome patients. Demographic and anthropometric characteristics, disease activity (ESSDAI), quality of life scale (SF36), depression (Beck Depression Scale), physical activity status (International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ) score) and sleep status (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale) of PSS patients were evaluated and relationships have been examined. Results According to the results of our study, we found that sleep disorders are common in PSS patients (74.4%). Overweight patients, particularly higher lean mass sleep better (r:-0.201, p:0.043). Poor sleep causes fatigue (p=0.062) and depression (p=0.030). Sleep disturbance could not be explained by depressive state alone. However, after controlling for depression, the effect of sleep on fatigue seriously decreases (p=0.311). Exercise did not improve sleep quality (p=0.35) and the rate of poor sleep was higher among who exercised (p=0.192). Conclusion Based on the results of our study, we believe that, treating depression in PSS patients is crucial for reducing fatigue. Patients need education on performing the correct exercises and weight gain should done in a professional manner. Gaining a deeper understanding of the multisystem involvement of the disease and the impact of exercise on the disease, will have positive effects on patient care and treatment decisions.

Zhao J, He P, Wei Q, Zhou L, Ers SA, Gu J. Novel electrical therapy to improve sleep disturbance in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Int J Rheum Dis 2024; 27:e15181. [PMID: 38831523 DOI: 10.1111/1756-185x.15181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sleep disturbance is common in autoimmune rheumatism diseases (ARD) and it plays an important role in activating disease and affects the quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of the novel electrical therapy on sleep disturbance in ARD patients and its effect on immunologic factors. METHODS A total of 51 ARD patients (26 treatment group and 25 control group) with sleep disturbance were enrolled in this study. Sleep parameters and immunological indicators (serum level of 12 cytokines and immune function) were collected. The novel electrical therapy was prescribed for 15-30 min 3-6 times a day. The Pittsburg Sleep Index (PSQI) was assessed before and after 3 months' treatment by Mi Energy equipment. Immune function and serum levels of cytokines of all participants at baseline and after treatment were tested with flow cytometry and flow immunofluorescence, respectively. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between sleep disturbance and immunologic factors. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to investigate the risk of sleep disturbance in ARD. RESULTS The global score of PSQI (Baseline: 12.81 ± 4.07, After novel electrical therapy: 4.88 ± 2.76) was effectively improved after 3 months of adjuvant therapy by electrical therapy. We also found that serum levels of IL-8 and IL-1β statistically significantly decreased after novel electrical therapy. This adjuvant therapy can also significantly decrease the percentage of CD4 + CD8 + T cell, effector memory CD8 + T cell, Memory CD8 + T cell, Th17 cell, and plasma cell and significantly can increase the percentage of naïve CD8 + T cell, Th2 cell, and Tfh2 cell. Nevertheless, all serum level of 12 cytokines and the percentage of immune cells did not correlate with the PSQI global score except the Tc17 cell. Furthermore, age is an independent risk factor influencing PSQI scores (OR = 1.15, p < 0.05) in patients with autoimmune diseases through multiple linear regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS Novel electrical therapy can effectively improve sleep disturbance in patients with ARD. It can also change the serum level of some cytokines (IL-8 and IL-1β) and percentage of immune cells (CD4 + CD8 + T cell, effector memory CD8 + T cell, Memory CD8 + T cell, Th17 cell, naïve CD8 + T cell, Th2 cell, Tfh2 cell, and plasma cell).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the sleep quality in patients with ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) compared with patients without oGVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) and healthy controls. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed 142 patients after alloHCT including 94 patients with oGVHD and 48 without. Fifty healthy controls were also enrolled. oGVHD was diagnosed according to International Chronic Ocular GVHD Consensus Group (ICOGCG) criteria. Sleep quality was assessed by the Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (CPSQI). Poor sleep quality was defined as CPQSI score greater than 6. RESULTS Patients after alloHCT demonstrated a significantly higher CPQSI score than those of controls {7.0 [interquartile range (IQR) 5.0-10.0] vs. 5.5 [IQR 4.8-7.0], P =0.002}, especially in the oGVHD subgroup (7.5 [IQR 5.0-11.0] vs. 6.0 [IQR 5.0-8.0], P =0.04) with nearly double prevalence of poor sleep quality (58 [62%] vs. 18 [37%], P =0.006). Poor sleep quality was strikingly correlated with oGVHD diagnosis (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=2.55, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-6.34, P =0.04) and systemic immunosuppressants (adjusted OR=2.61, 95% CI: 1.32-5.71, P =0.02). Among the ocular parameters, poor sleep quality was significantly associated with higher ICOGCG score (adjusted OR=1.20, 95% CI: 1.03-1.39, P =0.02) and lower tear film break-up time (adjusted OR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.74-0.99, P =0.05). CONCLUSIONS Poor sleep quality was associated with an increased severity of oGVHD and tear film instability in the long-term alloHCT survivorship.

Abstract
Sjögren's disease is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder that may be associated with systemic manifestations such as pulmonary or articular involvement. Systemic complications have prognostic implications and need to be identified and managed in a timely manner. Treatment should be tailored to the type and severity of organ involvement, ideally based on multidisciplinary evaluation.

Abstract
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the exocrine glands and is mainly characterized by sicca symptoms of the eyes and mouth. Approximately 30-50% of pSS patients develop systemic multi-organ disorders including malignant lymphoma. The etiology of pSS is not well understood; growing evidence suggests that uncontrolled immune/inflammatory responses, excessive oxidative stress, defected apoptosis, dysregulated autophagy, exosomes, and exogenous virus infections may participate in the pathogenesis of pSS. There is no ideal therapeutic method for pSS; the management of pSS is mainly palliative, which aims to alleviate sicca symptoms. Melatonin, as the main secretory product of the pineal gland, has been evidenced to show various physiological functions, including effects of immunoregulation, capability of antioxidation, moderation of autophagy, suppressive activities of apoptosis, regulative capacity of exosomes, properties of anti-infection, and improvement of sleep. The beneficial effects of melatonin have been already validated in some autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, our previous research firstly revealed that melatonin might inhibit pathogenic responses of peripheral Th17 and double-negative (DN) T cells in pSS. More importantly, melatonin administration alleviated the development of pSS in animal models with reduced infiltrating lymphocytes, improved functional activity of salivary gland, and decreased production of inflammatory factors as well as autoantibodies. Owing to the important biological properties reported in melatonin are characteristics closely related to the treatment of pSS; the potential role and underlying mechanisms of melatonin in the administration of pSS are certainly worth further investigations. Consequently, the aim of this review is to give a deep insight to the therapeutic potency of melatonin for pSS.

Abstract
The production and secretion of saliva is an essential function of the salivary glands. Saliva is a complicated liquid with different functions, including moistening, digestion, mineralization, lubrication, and mucosal protection. This review focuses on the mechanism and neural regulation of salivary secretion, and saliva is secreted in response to various stimuli, including odor, taste, vision, and mastication. The chemical and physical properties of saliva change dynamically during physiological and pathophysiological processes. Moreover, the central nervous system modulates salivary secretion and function via various neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors. Smell, vision, and taste have been investigated for the connection between salivation and brain function. The immune and endocrine functions of the salivary glands have been explored recently. Salivary glands play an essential role in innate and adaptive immunity and protection. Various immune cells such as B cells, T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells, as well as immunoglobins like IgA and IgG have been found in salivary glands. Evidence supports the synthesis of corticosterone, testosterone, and melatonin in salivary glands. Saliva contains many potential biomarkers derived from epithelial cells, gingival crevicular fluid, and serum. High level of matrix metalloproteinases and cytokines are potential markers for oral carcinoma, infectious disease in the oral cavity, and systemic disease. Further research is required to monitor and predict potential salivary biomarkers for health and disease in clinical practice and precision medicine.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the main causes of death in primary Sjögren' s syndrome (pSS) patients, while hypertension is considered an independent risk factor for CVD in pSS patients and its prevalence is increased compared with the general population. In order to identify risk factors of hypertension in patients with pSS, this study included 293 pSS patients admitted in the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu from April 2011 to August 2020 and 195 pSS patients admitted in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2011 to June 2018. The multiple logistic regression was used to screen risk factors and nomogram was drawn based on regression coefficients. Then C-index and calibration plot were used to estimate its discrimination and calibration, respectively. Compared with pSS patients without hypertension, those with hypertension were older, higher in blood pressure, longer in duration of pSS, and had higher rates of smoking, xerophthalmia, xerostomia, previous use of botanicals, NSAIDs, and statins. Moreover, they were more likely to have pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and had higher levels of serum lipids and renal function indicators (all P < 0.05). Finally, a nomogram based on four significant factors (age, duration of pSS, LDL-c, and anti-SSA antibody) was constructed. Its' C-index is 0.812 (95% CI: 0.754-0.870), and it shows a good calibration. C-index value of 0.721 and good calibration still could be reached in external verification. Clinicians can use it in pSS population for early detection of hypertension and if necessary, early preventive measures could be taken to reduce its occurrence.

Abstract
Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease with frequent neurological involvement. Memory complaints are common, but their precise patterns remain unclear. We wanted to characterize patterns of neurocognitive profiles in pSS patients with cognitive complaints. Only pSS patients with memory complaints were included, prospectively. Cognitive profiles were compiled through a comprehensive cognitive evaluation by neuropsychologists. Evaluations of anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disorders and quality of life were performed for testing their interactions with cognitive profiles. All 32 pSS patients showed at least borderline cognitive impairment, and 17 (53%) exhibited a pathological cognitive profile: a hippocampal profile (37%), a dysexecutive profile (22%), and an instrumental profile (16%) (possible overlap). Regarding the secondary objectives: 37% of patients were depressed, and 48% exhibited a mild-to-severe anxiety trait. Sleep disorders were frequent (excessive daytime sleepiness (55%), high risk for sleep apnea (45%), and insomnia (77%)). Cognitive impairments could not be explained alone by anxiety, depression or sleep disorders. Fatigue level was strongly associated with sleep disorders. Our study highlights that cognitive complaints in pSS patients are supported by measurable cognitive impairments, apart from frequently associated disorders such as depression, anxiety or sleep troubles. Sleep disorders should be screened.

Abstract
Dry eye is a disease that severely affects patients' quality of life, increasing the global burden on public health and finance. There is growing evidence that a poor lifestyle is a significant risk factor for dry eye. Along with the development of society, sleep, as a way of life, is also constantly changing. The main manifestations of sleep disorders are reduced sleep time, circadian rhythm disturbances, and sleep breathing disturbances. Sleep disorders and their secondary systemic diseases have attracted wide attention in recent years. This review mainly explored the correlation between sleep disorders and dry eye, and found that sleep-related problems and other factors potentially leading from sleep disorders could be critical factors for dry eye. These results suggest that ophthalmologists should pay attention to the sleep health problems in patients with dry eye, and we hope that this paper can provide help for future research in this field.

Cross-sectional assessment of sleep and fatigue in middle-aged Japanese women with primary Sjogren syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis using self-reports and wrist actigraphy. Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e27233. [PMID: 34664865 PMCID: PMC8448038 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000027233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT To investigate fatigue, health-related quality of life (HR-QOL), and sleep quality in women with primary Sjogren syndrome (pSS) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as compared with healthy controls using self-reports and wrist actigraphy.In this cross-sectional observational study, we evaluated a total of 25 patients (aged 40-75 years) with pSS, 10 with RA, and 17 healthy control subjects living in Japan. The HR-QOL was assessed using the Short Form-36. Fatigue was evaluated using the Short Form-36 vitality score, visual analog scale (VAS) for fatigue, and 2 questionnaire items using scores based on a 4-point Likert scale. Sleep quality was measured using the Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, VAS for sleep quality, and wrist actigraphy for 14 days.Patients with pSS reported severer fatigue and lower HR-QOL than healthy controls, especially in mental health. Based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score, 56% of the patients with pSS were poor sleepers, which was higher than healthy controls (29.4%). Furthermore, the patients with pSS scored significantly lower on the VAS for sleep quality than healthy controls (40.5 vs 63.7, P = .001). Although subjective assessments revealed slight sleep disturbances in patients with pSS, wrist actigraphy revealed no differences when compared with healthy controls for total sleep time (421.8 minutes vs 426.5 minutes), sleep efficiency (95.2% vs 96.4%), number of awakenings (1.4 vs 0.9), and wake after sleep onset (22.4 minutes vs 16.1 minutes). Poor subjective sleep quality was associated with enhanced fatigue. However, sleep efficiency, as determined by actigraphy, was not associated with fatigue. Notably, the patients with RA and healthy controls did not differ significantly in terms of fatigue or sleep quality, although patients with RA experienced more nocturnal awakenings than healthy controls (1.7 vs 0.9, P = .04).Patients with pSS experience severe fatigue, poor HR-QOL, and sleep disturbances, which are associated with fatigue. However, wrist actigraphy did not reveal differences in sleep quality, suggesting that it may not be an appropriate measure of sleep in patients with pSS.
