Altered coordination between sleep timing and cortisol profiles in night working female hospital employees. Psychoneuroendocrinology 2024; 166:107066. [PMID: 38723404 DOI: 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2024.107066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cortisol typically peaks in the morning after waking up and declines throughout the day, reaching its lowest levels during nighttime sleep. Shift work can cause misalignment between cortisol levels and sleep-wake timing. We analyzed this misalignment in female shift workers focusing on the timing and extent of these changes. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 68 shift workers (aged 37 ± 10 years) and 21 non-shift workers (aged 45 ± 10 years) from a hospital. Shift workers were monitored through two day shifts and three night shifts, whereas non-shift workers were monitored during two day shifts. Each participant collected six to eight saliva samples (depending on their shift type) and provided sleep timing information, which was recorded via polysomnography and sleep diaries. Generalized additive mixed models were used to estimate shift-specific differences in cortisol smooth curves. Summary measures calculated for the cortisol smooth curves included cortisol awakening response, peak-to-bed slope, and total output. RESULTS Between shift workers and non-shift workers, we observed similar diurnal cortisol profiles with a steep negative diurnal slope during day shifts. In shift workers on night shifts, a flattened U-shaped cortisol profile after the post-awakening maximum was observed, with a peak-to-bed slope close to zero. When comparing night to day shifts in the group of shift workers, mean cortisol levels were lower between 42 and 56 minutes and 1.8-11.9 hours after waking up, and higher between 14.9 and 22 hours after waking up. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate altered cortisol profiles in female hospital employees on night shifts. Specifically, cortisol levels were lower at night when higher levels would typically be necessary for work activities, and higher at bedtime after a night shift, when levels should normally be low.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to examine the associations and interaction effects of sleep duration and trouble sleeping on depressive symptoms among U.S. adults. METHODS National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2015 to 2018 were analyzed (N = 10,044). Trouble sleeping and sleep duration were self-reported. Sleep duration was defined as short (≤6 h) or long (≥9 h), compared with normal (>6 and < 9 h). Depressive symptoms were determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score ≥ 10. Both multiplicative interaction and additive interaction were reported. RESULTS There was a significant positive additive interaction between short sleep duration and trouble sleeping on depressive symptoms in the fully adjusted model (Relative excess risk due to interaction, RERIOR = 4.42, 95 % CI: 1.12, 7.73), with 43 % of the association with depressive symptoms attributed to the interaction (attributable proportion of interaction, AP = 0.43, 95 % CI: 0.22, 0.64). Similarly, a significant positive additive interaction between long sleep duration and trouble sleeping on depressive symptoms was found (RERIOR = 4.17, 95 % CI: 0.96, 7.38), with 41 % of the association with depressive symptoms attributed to the interaction (AP = 0.41, 95 % CI: 0.21, 0.60). No multiplicative interaction was detected between short or long sleep duration and trouble sleeping. LIMITATIONS The cross-sectional design limits the ability to draw causal inferences. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that different aspects of sleep health interact synergistically, accounting for a substantial portion of the association with depressive symptoms. This underscores the importance of simultaneously considering multiple dimensions of sleep health in relation to depressive symptoms.

Abstract
Studies have shown that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may be associated with sleep disorders. In order to explore the explicit relationship between the two, we systematically reviewed the effects of sleep disorders, especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), on the incidence of NAFLD, and analyzed the possible mechanisms after adjusting for confounding factors. NAFLD is independently associated with sleep disorders. Different sleep disorders may be the cause of the onset and aggravation of NAFLD. An excessive or insufficient sleep duration, poor sleep quality, insomnia, sleep-wake disorders, and OSA may increase the incidence of NAFLD. Despite that some research suggests a unidirectional causal link between the two, specifically, the onset of NAFLD is identified as a result of changes in sleep characteristics, and the reverse relationship does not hold true. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of specific research elucidating the reasons behind the higher risk of developing sleep disorders in individuals with NAFLD. Further research is needed to establish a clear relationship between NAFLD and sleep disorders. This will lay the groundwork for earlier identification of potential patients, which is crucial for earlier monitoring, diagnosis, effective prevention, and treatment of NAFLD.

High prevalence of severe sleep cycle disruption in de novo acromegaly and underdiagnosis by common clinical screening tools: A prospective, observational, cross-sectional study. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 2024; 100:251-259. [PMID: 38127470 DOI: 10.1111/cen.14994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Although sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is well-recognised in acromegaly, most studies have reported heterogeneous, often heavily treated, groups and few have performed detailed sleep phenotyping at presentation. OBJECTIVE To study SDB using the gold standard of polysomnography, in the largest group of newly-diagnosed, treatment-naïve patients with acromegaly. SETTING AND PATIENTS 40 patients [22 males, 18 females; mean age 54 years (range 23-78)], were studied to: (i) establish the prevalence and severity of SDB (ii) assess the reliability of commonly employed screening tools [Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and overnight oxygen desaturation index (DI)] to detect SDB (iii) determine the extent to which sleep architecture is disrupted. RESULTS Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), defined by the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI), was present in 79% of subjects (mild, n = 12; moderate, n = 5; severe, n = 14). However, in these individuals with OSA by AHI criteria, ESS (positive in 35% [n = 11]) and DI (positive in 71%: mild, n = 11; moderate, n = 6; severe, n = 5) markedly underestimated its prevalence/extent. Seventy-eight percent of patients exhibited increased arousal, with marked disruption of the sleep cycle, despite most (82%) having normal total time asleep. Fourteen patients spent longer in stage 1 sleep. Deeper sleep stages were severely attenuated in many subjects (reduced stage 2, n = 18; reduced slow wave sleep, n = 24; reduced rapid eye movement sleep, n = 32). CONCLUSION Our study provides strong support for clinical guidelines that recommend screening for sleep apnoea syndrome in patients with newly-diagnosed acromegaly. Importantly, however, it highlights shortcomings in commonly recommended screening tools (questionnaires, desaturation index) and demonstrates the added value of polysomnography to allow timely detection of obstructive sleep apnoea and associated sleep cycle disruption.

Abstract
Insufficient sleep is associated with impaired hypothalamic activity and declined attentional performance. In this study, alterations in the hypothalamus of REM sleep-deprived (SD) young and aged rats, and the modulatory effect of near-infrared (NIR) laser were investigated. Forty-eight male Wistar rats (24 young at 2 months and 24 senile at 14 months) were divided into three groups: the control, the SD group subjected to 72 hr of sleep deprivation, and the transcranial-NIR laser-treated (TLT) group subjected to SD for 72 hr and irradiated with 830 nm laser. The hypothalamic levels of oxidative stress, inflammatory biomarkers, antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase (CCO), apoptotic markers (BAX, BCL-2), and neuronal survival-associated genes (BDNF, GLP-1) were evaluated. Furthermore, the hypothalamic tissue alterations were analyzed via histological examination. The results revealed that TLT treatment has enhanced the antioxidant status, prevented oxidative insults, suppressed neuroinflammation, regulated CCO activity, reduced apoptotic markers, and tuned the survival genes (BDNF & GLP-1) in hypothalamic tissue of SD young and aged rats. Microscopically, TLT treatment has ameliorated the SD-induced alterations and restored the normal histological features of hypothalamus tissue. Moreover, the obtained data showed that SD and NIR laser therapy are age-dependent. Altogether, our findings emphasize the age-dependent adverse effects of SD on the hypothalamus and suggest the use of low-laser NIR radiation as a potential non-invasive and therapeutic approach against SD-induced adverse effects in young and aged animals.

The clinical effect of digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia in subgroups with depressive and anxiety symptoms: A secondary analysis of a randomized-controlled trial. J Sleep Res 2024:e14173. [PMID: 38356341 DOI: 10.1111/jsr.14173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
Insomnia is a highly prevalent mental disorder, and is often co-occurring with depression and anxiety disorders. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia as treatment of choice for insomnia can also be applied digitally (digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia), making it more accessible. This is a secondary data analysis of a two-armed parallel randomized-controlled trial. In the primary publication, N = 238 participants meeting criteria for the 5th edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders chronic insomnia disorder were randomly assigned to either 8 weeks of digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia + treatment-as-usual, or waitlist + treatment-as-usual. To determine the clinical effects of digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia in populations with comorbid anxiety and depression symptoms, this secondary analysis focused on two subgroups: (1) participants with high initial depressive symptoms; and (2) participants with high initial anxiety symptoms. Symptoms of insomnia, depression and anxiety as primary outcome measures were obtained at baseline, 8 weeks post-randomization and, in the intervention group only, at 6- and 12-months follow-up. At 8 weeks post-randomization, the use of digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia in both subgroups was associated with large reductions in insomnia severity in comparison to control (depression subgroup: d = 2.37; anxiety subgroup: d = 2.13). Between-group treatment effects were also observed for symptoms of depression in the depression subgroup (d = 1.59), and for symptoms of anxiety in the anxiety subgroup (d = 1.28). Within-group effects were stable over time (d = 0.64-1.63). This secondary analysis shows that digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia reduces insomnia and comorbid symptoms in participants with high initial symptoms of either depression or anxiety with sustained long-term effects.

Preoperative psychological symptoms and chronic postsurgical pain: analysis of the prospective China Surgery and Anaesthesia Cohort study. Br J Anaesth 2024; 132:359-371. [PMID: 37953200 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2023.10.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both preoperative psychological symptoms and chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) are prevalent conditions and major concerns among surgery patients, with inconclusive associations. METHODS Based on the China Surgery and Anaesthesia Cohort (CSAC), we recruited 8350 surgery patients (40-65 yr old) from two medical centres between July 2020 and March 2023. Patients with preoperative psychological symptoms (i.e. anxiety, depression, stress reaction, and poor sleep quality) were identified using corresponding well-established scales. We then examined the associations of individual preoperative psychological symptoms and major patterns of preoperative psychological symptoms (identified by k-means clustering analysis) with CPSP, and different pain trajectories within 3 months. Lastly, mediation analyses were conducted to elucidate the mediating role of surgery/anaesthesia-related factors and the presence of 1-month postoperative psychological symptoms on the studied associations. RESULTS We included 1302 (1302/8350, 15.6%) CPSP patients. When analysed separately, all studied preoperative psychological symptoms were associated with increased CPSP risk, with the most pronounced odds ratio noted for anxiety (1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-1.86). Compared with patients clustered in the minor symptom group, excess risk of CPSP and experiencing an increasing pain trajectory was increased among patients with preoperative psychological symptoms featured by sleep disturbances (odds ratio=1.46, 95% CI 1.25-1.70 for CPSP and 1.58, 95% CI 1.20-2.08 for increasing pain trajectory) and multiple psychological symptoms (1.84 [95% CI 1.48-2.28] and 4.34 [95% CI 3.20-5.88]). Mediation analyses revealed acute/subacute postsurgical pain and psychological symptoms existing 1 month after surgery as notable mediators of the observed associations. CONCLUSIONS The presence of preoperative psychological symptoms might individually or jointly increase the risk of chronic postsurgical pain or experiencing deterioration in pain trajectory. Interventions for managing acute/subacute postsurgical pain and psychological symptoms at 1 month after surgery might help reduce such risk. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR2000034039.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adolescent suicidal ideation are associated with factors including psychological abuse/neglect, sleep problems, and depressed mood, but the systematic effects of these factors on suicidal ideation remain unclear, which is a research gap this work aims to fill. METHODS A multi-center, the cluster sampling method was employed to collect general demographic data, such as age, gender, the experience of being left behind, and parents' marital status, from 12,192 students across 17 secondary schools in China. The Child Psychological Abuse and Neglect Scale (CPANS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Chinese version of the Depressed mood, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 Items (DASS-21) and Chinese version of Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory (PANSI) were utilized. Data were analyzed using t-tests, chi-square tests, correlation analyses, and structural equation modeling mediation analyses. RESULTS The prevalence of psychological abuse/neglect and adolescent suicidal ideation was 34.8% and 13%, respectively. This mediation analysis suggests that, in the relationship between psychological abuse/neglect and suicidal ideation, sleep problems and depressed mood play both parallel and sequential mediating roles. CONCLUSION Sleep problems and depressed mood play a mediating role in the development of suicidal ideation in adolescents. Good sleep habits and depressed mood interventions help reduce the risk of suicidal ideation in adolescents who experience psychological neglect/abuse.

Cohn AY, Grant LK, Nathan MD, Wiley A, Abramson M, Harder JA, Crawford S, Klerman EB, Scheer FAJL, Kaiser UB, Rahman SA, Joffe H. Effects of Sleep Fragmentation and Estradiol Decline on Cortisol in a Human Experimental Model of Menopause. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 108:e1347-e1357. [PMID: 37207451 PMCID: PMC10584010 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Perturbations to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis have been hypothesized to increase postmenopausal cardiometabolic risk. Although sleep disturbance, a known risk factor for cardiometabolic disease, is prevalent during the menopause transition, it is unknown whether menopause-related sleep disturbance and estradiol decline disturb the HPA axis. OBJECTIVE We examined the effect of experimental fragmentation of sleep and suppression of estradiol as a model of menopause on cortisol levels in healthy young women. METHODS Twenty-two women completed a 5-night inpatient study during the mid-to-late follicular phase (estrogenized). A subset (n = 14) repeated the protocol after gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist-induced estradiol suppression. Each inpatient study included 2 unfragmented sleep nights followed by 3 experimental sleep fragmentation nights. This study took place with premenopausal women at an academic medical center. Interventions included sleep fragmentation and pharmacological hypoestrogenism, and main outcome measures were serum bedtime cortisol levels and cortisol awakening response (CAR). RESULTS Bedtime cortisol increased 27% (P = .03) and CAR decreased 57% (P = .01) following sleep fragmentation compared to unfragmented sleep. Polysomnographic-derived wake after sleep-onset (WASO) was positively associated with bedtime cortisol levels (P = .047) and negatively associated with CAR (P < .01). Bedtime cortisol levels were 22% lower in the hypoestrogenized state compared to the estrogenized state (P = .02), while CAR was similar in both estradiol conditions (P = .38). CONCLUSION Estradiol suppression and modifiable menopause-related sleep fragmentation both independently perturb HPA axis activity. Sleep fragmentation, commonly seen in menopausal women, may disrupt the HPA axis, which in turn may lead to adverse health effects as women age.

The effects of hypercortisolism on the frequency and magnitude of sleep EEG waves in patients with Cushing syndrome: A spectral analysis study. Neurophysiol Clin 2023; 53:102893. [PMID: 37657229 DOI: 10.1016/j.neucli.2023.102893] [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: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to investigate the effects of endogenous chronic hypercortisolism on sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) and differences between the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent and independent Cushing Syndrome (CS) patients through a sleep spectral analysis program. METHODS A total of 32 patients diagnosed as having endogenous CS (12 ACTH-dependent and 20 ACTH-independent) and a control group comprising 16 healthy individuals were included in the study. Polysomnographic analysis was performed. Blood samples were collected at 08:00 AM for analysis of ACTH and basal cortisol, and at 00:00 AM for midnight cortisol levels. The frequency and power of the slow wave activity (SWA), theta, alpha, and beta waves of the first and last non-rapid eye movement (NREM) cycles were measured with a spectral analysis program. RESULTS The CS patient group had higher SWA power, especially in the first NREM cycle. In the ACTH-dependent group, SWA maximum and mean power values were higher in the frontal channels in the first NREM, compared to the last NREM sleep stage (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Cortisol has been found to be associated with SWA waves, making these waves higher in power, especially in the first NREM phase. This difference was much less pronounced in the final NREM sleep stage. The difference between the first and last NREM sleep stages with respect to the power of SWA in the frontal channel in the ACTH-dependent group suggests that not only cortisol but also high levels of ACTH affect the power of slow waves during sleep.

Examining the U-shaped relationship of sleep duration and systolic blood pressure with risk of cardiovascular events using a novel recursive gradient scanning model. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1210171. [PMID: 37790596 PMCID: PMC10543086 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1210171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Observational studies have suggested U-shaped relationships between sleep duration and systolic blood pressure (SBP) with risks of many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but the cut-points that separate high-risk and low-risk groups have not been confirmed. We aimed to examine the U-shaped relationships between sleep duration, SBP, and risks of CVDs and confirm the optimal cut-points for sleep duration and SBP. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on NHANES 2007-2016 data, which included a nationally representative sample of participants. The maximum equal-odds ratio (OR) method was implemented to obtain optimal cut-points for each continuous independent variable. Then, a novel "recursive gradient scanning method" was introduced for discretizing multiple non-monotonic U-shaped independent variables. Finally, a multivariable logistic regression model was constructed to predict critical risk factors associated with CVDs after adjusting for potential confounders. Results A total of 26,691 participants (48.66% were male) were eligible for the current study with an average age of 49.43 ± 17.69 years. After adjusting for covariates, compared with an intermediate range of sleep duration (6.5-8.0 h per day) and SBP (95-120 mmHg), upper or lower values were associated with a higher risk of CVDs [adjusted OR (95% confidence interval) was 1.20 (1.04-1.40) for sleep duration and 1.17 (1.01-1.36) for SBP]. Conclusions This study indicates U-shaped relationships between SBP, sleep duration, and risks of CVDs. Both short and long duration of sleep/higher and lower BP are predictors of cardiovascular outcomes. Estimated total sleep duration of 6.5-8.0 h per day/SBP of 95-120 mmHg is associated with lower risk of CVDs.

Abstract
The most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD), which in the classic (severe) form occurs in roughly 1:16 000 newborns worldwide. Lifelong treatment consists of replacing cortisol and aldosterone deficiencies, and supraphysiological dosing schedules are typically employed to simultaneously attenuate production of adrenal-derived androgens. Glucocorticoid titration in 21OHD is challenging as it must balance the consequences of androgen excess vs those from chronic high glucocorticoid exposure, which are further complicated by interindividual variability in cortisol kinetics and glucocorticoid sensitivity. Clinical assessment and biochemical parameters are both used to guide therapy, but the specific purpose and goals of each biomarker vary with age and clinical context. Here we review the approach to medication titration for children and adults with classic 21OHD, with an emphasis on how to interpret adrenal biomarker values in guiding this process. In parallel, we illustrate how an understanding of the pathophysiologic and pharmacologic principles can be used to avoid and to correct complications of this disease and consequences of its management using existing treatment options.

Abstract
Pain disrupts sleep, and sleep deprivation or interference can alter pain perception in animals and humans, for example by increasing sensitivity to pain. However, the mechanism by which sleep affects neuropathic pain remains unclear. In this review, we discuss the available evidence from the epidemiologic, clinical, and human, as well as laboratory studies. In previous studies, we have found that sleep deprivation affects various injurious systems, including opioids, dopaminergic, immune, orexins, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and adenosine. At the same time, these systems play a crucial role in neuropathic pain regulation. In the complex interactions between these neurobiological systems, there may be potential regulatory pathways through which sleep deprivation amplifies neuropathic pain. Because of the impact sleep problems and neuropathic pain can have on the patients' quality of life, studying the link between sleep and neuropathic pain is important for neuropathic pain prevention and public health.

Abstract
Pain is an individualized experience for the person suffering from chronic pain. Significant strides have been made in the last few decades in understanding various biological changes that coincide with chronic pain. This state-of-the-art overview looks at the current evidence related to the biology of chronic pain and the implications these findings have on the delivery of pain neuroscience education (PNE). The paper summarizes the various (epi)genetic, neural, endocrine, and immune factors discovered and explored in the scientific literature concerning chronic pain. Each of these biological factors has various implications for the content and delivery of PNE. We discuss the future directions these biological factors have for the clinical implementation of PNE by linking the importance of behavior change, optimizing the learning environment, and using an individualized multimodal treatment approach with PNE. In addition, future directions for research of PNE based on these biological factors are provided with importance placed on individualized patient-centered care and how PNE can be used with traditional modes of care and growing trends with other care methods. PNE was originally and continues to be rooted in understanding chronic pain biology and how that understanding can improve patient care and outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The relationship between sleep duration and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has received relatively little attention in the Kurdish community. Considering the ethnic diversity of Iran and the importance of the Kurdish community, the present study investigated the association between sleep parameters and CKD among a large sample of Iranian-Kurds. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted among 9,766 participants (Mage: 47.33, SD = 8.27, 51% female) from the Ravansar Non Communicable Disease (RaNCD) cohort study database. Logistic regression analyses were applied to examine the association between sleep parameters and CKD. RESULTS Results showed that prevalence of CKD was detected in 1,058 (10.83%) individuals. Time to fall asleep (p = 0.012) and dozing off during the day (p = 0.041) were significantly higher in the non-CKD group compared to the CKD group. Daytime napping and dozing off during the day in females with CKD were significantly more than males with CKD. A long sleep duration (> 8 h/day) was associated with 28% (95% CI: 1.05, 1.57) higher odds of CKD compared to normal sleep duration (7 h/d), after adjusting for confounding factors. Participants who experienced leg restlessness had a 32% higher probability of developing CKD than those who did not experience leg restlessness (95% CI: 1.03, 1.69). CONCLUSION Results suggest that sleep duration and leg restlessness may be associated with an increased likelihood of CKD. Consequently, regulating sleep parameters may play a role in improving sleep and preventing CKD.

Abstract
All species have a physiological need for sleep, and sleep is crucial for the preservation and restoration of many physiological processes in the body. Recent research on the effects of gut microbiota on brain function has produced essential data on the relationship between them. It has been discovered that dysregulation of the gut-brain axis is related to insomnia. Certain metabolites of gut microbiota have been linked to insomnia, and disturbances in gut microbiota can worsen insomnia. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages for the treatment of insomnia. Taking the gut microbiota as the target and determining the scientific relevance of TCM to the prevention and treatment of insomnia may lead to new concepts for the treatment of sleep disorders and improve the therapeutic effect of sleep. Taking the gut microbiota as an entry point, this paper reviews the relationship between gut microbiota and TCM, the relationship between gut microbiota and insomnia, the mechanism by which gut microbiota regulate sleep, and the mechanism by which TCM regulates gut microbiota for insomnia prevention and treatment. This review provides new ideas for the prevention and treatment of insomnia through TCM and new ideas for drug development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disturbance plays a crucial role in mental illness and metabolic dysregulation. However, the clinical correlates of metabolic disorders (MD, only meeting 1 or 2 metabolic syndrome standards) and its relationship to sleep disturbance in patients with schizophrenia are uncertain. The study was to illuminate the association between MD and sleep disturbance in patients with schizophrenia. METHODS One hundred and sixty-four patients with schizophrenia (157 drug-naive and 7 drug-free) were classified into 2 groups: MD and non-MD. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) were employed to assess sleep quality and clinical symptoms. Weight, height, waistline, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and lipid metabolic levels were recorded. RESULTS Sleep disturbance was more pronounced in the MD group compared to the non-MD group, including subjective sleep quality (z = -4.074, p = 0.000), sleep latency (z = -3.867, p = 0.000), sleep duration (z = -2.471, p = 0.013) and total scores (z = -3.074, p = 0.002). After controlling for confounding factors including age, sex, body mass index, smoking, marital status, and duration of illness, binary logistics regression showed that subjective sleep quality (p = 0.034) and sleep latency (p = 0.034) were significant independent predictors of MD. Further, partial correlation analysis showed that sleep latency (r = -0.200, p = 0.011) was significantly negatively correlated with HDLC. CONCLUSION Our study suggests a high rate of MD in patients with schizophrenia, most of who were drug-naive, in a Chinese population. Longer sleep latency is associated with MD in schizophrenia patients, suggesting an important role of sleep disturbance in the development of MD in patients with schizophrenia. Interventions to improve sleep quality may prevent MD in patients with schizophrenia at an early stage.

Abstract
The advent of electric lighting in the built environment has radically transformed the human experience of light and darkness, which is often insufficient to stimulate and synchronize the circadian system to the day-night cycle. The lack of circadian system entrainment leads to poor sleep and could be an important biophysical mechanism underlying increased incidence of certain types of diseases, including cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). This contribution proposes to carve out a niche for including daily exposures to light and darkness among lifestyle factors for reducing the risk and progression of CVD. The fundamental workings of the human circadian system and its primary outputs are described. The discussion then progresses to light's effects on the circadian system and its outputs, and how threats to circadian health pose risks for CV health. The contribution concludes with simple recommendations for incorporating regular, robust daily exposures in lifestyle adjustments to combat CVD risks and progression.

Abstract
Sleep disruption is highly associated with the pathogenesis and progression of a wild range of psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, appreciable evidence shows that experimental sleep deprivation (SD) on humans and rodents evokes anomalies in the dopaminergic (DA) signaling, which are also implicated in the development of psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia or substance abuse. Since adolescence is a vital period for the maturation of the DA system as well as the occurrence of mental disorders, the present studies aimed to investigate the impacts of SD on the DA system of adolescent mice. We found that 72 h SD elicited a hyperdopaminergic status, with increased sensitivity to the novel environment and amphetamine (Amph) challenge. Also, altered neuronal activity and expression of striatal DA receptors were noticed in the SD mice. Moreover, 72 h SD influenced the immune status in the striatum, with reduced microglial phagocytic capacity, primed microglial activation, and neuroinflammation. The abnormal neuronal and microglial activity were putatively provoked by the enhanced corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling and sensitivity during the SD period. Together, our findings demonstrated the consequences of SD in adolescents including aberrant neuroendocrine, DA system, and inflammatory status. Sleep insufficiency is a risk factor for the aberration and neuropathology of psychiatric disorders.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:3416. [PMID: 36834111 PMCID: PMC9964571 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20043416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Handgrip strength has been shown an indispensable biomarker for older adults. Furthermore, the association between sleep duration and grip strength in special populations (e.g., type 2 diabetics) has been previously documented. However, the association between sleep duration and grip strength has been less studied in older adults and the dose-response relationship is unclear. Therefore, we drew 1881 participants aged 60 years and older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014 to explore their association and the dose-response relationship. Sleep duration was obtained through self-report. Grip strength data were obtained through a grip test using a handgrip dynamometer and divided into two categories: low grip strength and normal grip strength. Thus, dichotomized grip strength was used as a dependent variable. Poisson regression and restricted cubic spline were used for the main part of the analysis. We found that long sleep duration (≥9 h) was associated with a higher prevalence of low grip strength than the normal sleep duration (7-<9 h) group (IRR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.12-1.69). Moreover, the gender-stratified analysis did not change the original results. This association was particularly pronounced and further strengthened among participants with normal weight (BMI < 25) (IRR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.64-3.22) and participants aged 60-70 (IRR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.40-2.22). In addition, with the increase in sleep duration, the multivariate-adjusted IRRs of low grip strength had a general downward trend at first, followed by a brief period of stability, and then presented an upward trend (p-value for non-linearity = 0.001). According to this study, we found that older adults who had long sleep duration had a higher risk of low grip strength. Muscle insulin utilization and muscle glucose metabolism are closely related to grip strength, so our research emphasizes the importance of maintaining normal sleep duration in older adults and suggests that older adults who sleep for a long period should pay more attention to their muscle health.

BMC Psychiatry 2023; 23:84.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor sleep raises the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hastens disease progression. It is critical to figure out what factors impact the sleep quality of NAFLD patients. The present study aimed to investigate the role of anxiety symptoms in accounting for the impact of rumination on sleep quality and the moderating role of resilience on the associations of rumination with anxiety symptoms and sleep quality. METHODS In the cross-sectional study, 285 NAFLD patients completed the Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Ruminative Responses Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale, and the 14-item Resilience Scale to measure sleep quality, rumination (including brooding and reflection), anxiety symptoms, and resilience, respectively. The PROCESS macro for SPSS v4.0 procedure was applied to perform moderated mediation analysis. RESULTS The roles of anxiety symptoms in accounting for the positive associations of brooding, reflection and rumination with poor sleep quality were revealed. It was found that there was a significant moderating role of resilience on the positive associations of brooding, reflection and rumination with anxiety symptoms, which were gradually reduced as resilience increased. The direct associations between brooding, reflection and rumination and poor sleep quality were not significantly moderated by resilience. Thus, a moderated mediation model involving anxiety symptoms and resilience for explaining the impact of rumination on poor sleep quality was supported among patients with NAFLD. CONCLUSIONS Rumination (including brooding and reflection) could be positively related to poor sleep quality, and anxiety symptoms had a significant role in accounting for the relationship among patients with NAFLD. Resilience showed a moderating role that could attenuate the positive association between rumination and anxiety symptoms. Interventions aimed at alleviating rumination, reducing anxiety symptoms, and enhancing resilience could improve the sleep quality of NAFLD patients.

Abstract
BACKGRUOUND We aimed to investigate the moderating effects of obesity, age, and sex on the association between sleep duration and the development of diabetes in Asians. METHODS We analyzed data from a cohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study conducted from 2001 to 2020. After excluding shift workers and those with diabetes at baseline, 7,407 participants were stratified into three groups according to sleep duration: ≤5 hours/night, >5 to 7 hours/night (reference), and >7 hours/night. The Cox proportional hazards analyses were used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Subgroup analyses were performed according to obesity, age, and sex. RESULTS During 16 years of follow-up, 2,024 cases of T2DM were identified. Individuals who slept ≤5 h/night had a higher risk of incident diabetes than the reference group (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.33). The subgroup analysis observed a valid interaction with sleep duration only for obesity. A higher risk of T2DM was observed in the ≤5 hours/night group in non-obese individuals, men, and those aged <60 years, and in the >7 hours/night group in obese individuals (HRs were 1.34 [95% CI, 1.11 to 1.61], 1.22 [95% CI, 1 to 1.49], and 1.18 [95% CI, 1.01 to 1.39], respectively). CONCLUSION This study confirmed the effect of sleep deprivation on the risk of T2DM throughout the 16-year follow-up period. This impact was confined to non-obese or young individuals and men. We observed a significant interaction between sleep duration and obesity.

Abstract
Introduction: Autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in the exchange of metabolic information between organs and regulation on peripheral metabolism with obvious circadian rhythm in a healthy state. Sleep, a vital brain phenomenon, significantly affects both ANS and metabolic function. Objectives: This study investigated the relationships among sleep, ANS and metabolic function in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), to support the evaluation of ANS function through heart rate variability (HRV) metrics, and the determination of the correlated underlying autonomic pathways, and help optimize the early prevention, post-diagnosis and management of T2DM and its complications. Materials and methods: A total of 64 volunteered inpatients with T2DM took part in this study. 24-h electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical indicators of metabolic function, sleep quality and sleep staging results of T2DM patients were monitored. Results: The associations between sleep quality, 24-h/awake/sleep/sleep staging HRV and clinical indicators of metabolic function were analyzed. Significant correlations were found between sleep quality and metabolic function (|r| = 0.386 ± 0.062, p < 0.05); HRV derived ANS function showed strengthened correlations with metabolic function during sleep period (|r| = 0.474 ± 0.100, p < 0.05); HRV metrics during sleep stages coupled more tightly with clinical indicators of metabolic function [in unstable sleep: |r| = 0.453 ± 0.095, p < 0.05; in stable sleep: |r| = 0.463 ± 0.100, p < 0.05; in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep: |r| = 0.453 ± 0.082, p < 0.05], and showed significant associations with glycemic control in non-linear analysis [fasting blood glucose within 24 h of admission (admission FBG), |r| = 0.420 ± 0.064, p < 0.05; glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), |r| = 0.417 ± 0.016, p < 0.05]. Conclusions: HRV metrics during sleep period play more distinct role than during awake period in investigating ANS dysfunction and metabolism in T2DM patients, and sleep rhythm based HRV analysis should perform better in ANS and metabolic function assessment, especially for glycemic control in non-linear analysis among T2DM patients.

Abstract
UP165, a standardized Zea mays (corn) leaf extract, was evaluated for its effect on sleep quality and overall well-being in a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, administered orally at 250 and 500 mg/day. Participants (n = 45) (age range 19-73) consumed the supplement or placebo ∼60 minutes before bedtime daily for 4 weeks. Measurements that were evaluated were as follows: daily sleep quality, as monitored by a fitness tracker; the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep quality and efficiency; salivary cortisol levels for stress; and Profile of Mood States (POMS) to assess general well-being. Participants who received UP165 showed a statistically significant and dose-correlated reduction in salivary cortisol (up to 36%); an increase in deep sleep time (up to 30 minutes); increased total sleep time (up to 10%); an improvement in sleep quality (up to 49%), and an enhanced POMS (36-58%). Participants in the UP165 group showed a sevenfold increase in deep sleep time and a 10-fold increase in PSQI sleep quality improvement compared to placebo. Collectively, UP165 is a safe nutritional supplement clinically proven for a 24-hour support with better quality and efficiency of sleep at night and an improved mood state and overall well-being during the day. The clinical study has been ISRCTN registered with study ID ISRCTN68282897.

Abstract
Background Few studies have explored the mechanisms linking adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to depression in medical students. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ACEs and depression through the serial mediation effect of family functioning and insomnia. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 368 medical students from university in Chengdu in 2021. The participants were asked to complete four self-report questionnaires, including ACEs scale, the family APGAR index, the ISI and PHQ-9. Singe and serial mediation analyses were conducted using structural equation modeling by Mplus 8.3. Results ACEs had a significant direct effect on depression (β = 0.438, p < 0.001) and through three significantly indirect pathways: (1) through family functioning (β = 0.026, 95% CI: 0.007-0.060), accounting for 5.9% of the total effect; (2) through insomnia (β = 0.103, 95% CI: 0.011-0.187), accounting for 23.5% of the total effect; and (3) through the serial mediators involving in family functioning and insomnia (β = 0.038, 95% CI: 0.015-0.078), accounting for 8.7% of the total effect. The total indirect effect was 38.1%. Limitations This cross-sectional study prevented us from establishing causality. Conclusion This study highlights the role of family functioning and insomnia as serial mediators of the relationship between ACEs and depression. Findings help to elucidate the mechanism that underlines the pathway between ACEs and depression in medical students. These findings may indicate developing measures to strengthen family functioning and improve insomnia aiming to reduce depression in medical students with ACEs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) on sleep quality in elderly patients with lung cancer early after thoracoscopic surgery. METHODS A total of 86 patients with lung cancer (ASA class I-III, aged 60-80 years) undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery were randomized into stellate ganglion block (SGB) group (n=43) and control group (n=43) to receive ultrasound-guided right SGB with 7 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine at the C6-7 level and injection of 7 mL saline at the same site 30 min before anesthesia induction, respectively. On the day before surgery and the first two days after the surgery, sleep duration, sleep efficiency index (SEI) and N3 sleep stage of the patients were monitored using a BIS-Vista monitor, and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) scores were recorded. The plasma levels of norepinephrine and cortisol of the patients were measured before SGB (T1), at 5 min after extubation (T2) and at 6:00 on the first morning after the surgery (T4). Urine levels of 6-hydroxysulfate melatonin (6-HMS) were measured at 6:00 in the morning for 3 consecutive days starting on the day of surgery (T3, T4 and T5, respectively). VAS score, incidences of postoperative delirium and depression, sufentanil consumption after surgery, and discharge time of the patients were recorded. RESULTS Thirty-six patients in SGB group and 35 in the control group were analyzed. In both groups, most of the patients had insomnia after surgery, but compared with those in the control group, the patients in SGB group had significantly longer sleep duration (P < 0.05) with a higher sleep efficiency index (P < 0.05) and a longer sleep time in N3 stage (P < 0.05) on the first two nights after surgery. The mean postoperative AIS score and incidence of insomnia were significantly lower in SGB group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, SGB group showed significantly lower plasma levels of norepinephrine and cortisol at T2 and T4 (P < 0.05), a higher urine level of 6-HMS at T5 (P < 0.05), and a shorter discharge time after the surgery (P < 0.05). The VAS scores, postoperative incidences of delirium and depression, or postoperative sufentanil consumption did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSION Ultrasound-guided SGB improves objective and subjective sleep quality in elderly patients early after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer to alleviate stress responses and sleep disorders, reduce postoperative hospital stay, and accelerate postoperative recovery of the patients.

Association between sleep duration and sleep quality with arterial stiffness: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Sleep Health 2022; 8:663-670. [PMID: 36055936 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleh.2022.07.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Altered sleep parameters, such as duration and quality, play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular diseases, as well as in all-cause morbidity and mortality. It has been suggested that the specific mechanisms underlying this association could be through the influence of sleep parameters on vascular markers, such as arterial stiffness (AS), although this remains unclear. Thus, in this meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the association between sleep duration and sleep quality with AS in adults. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to July 30, 2021. The DerSimonian and Laird method was used to compute pooled effect size estimates and their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of the association of sleep duration and sleep quality with AS. The Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies from the United States National Institute of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute was used to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS Finally, 14 studies (8 cross-sectional studies and baseline data from 6 prospective longitudinal studies) involving 97,837 individuals between 18 and 92 years of age were included. Our results showed that increased sleep duration, as continuous values, does not influence AS (effect size [ES]: 0.00; 95% CIs: -0.15, 0.15) in the general population. However, when sleep duration was longer than 8 hours (ES: 0.21; 95% CIs: 0.06, 0.36), according to sleep categories, a significant increase in pulse wave velocity was shown. Poor sleep quality was associated with increased AS (ES: 0.13; 95% CIs: 0.04, 0.21) in the general population. The overall risk of bias for studies examining sleep duration was fair in 77.8% of the included studies and the overall risk of bias for studies examining sleep quality was fair in 55.6%. CONCLUSIONS Our findings showed that both long sleep duration and poor sleep quality were associated with AS in adults. These findings underscore the influence of sleep on vascular health markers, specifically AS, as a possible pathway to explain the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with sleep disorders.

Abstract
Chronic sleep deprivation has been demonstrated to diminish cognitive performance, alter mood states, and concomitantly dysregulate inflammation and stress hormones. At present, however, there is little understanding of how an acute sleep deprivation may collectively affect these factors and alter functioning. The present study aimed to determine the extent to which 24-h of sleep deprivation influences inflammatory cytokines, stress hormones, cognitive processing across domains, and emotion states. To that end, 23 participants (mean age = 20.78 years, SD = 2.87) filled out clinical health questionnaires measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Morningness Eveningness Questionnaire, and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Actigraph was worn for seven days across testing to record sleep duration. At each session participants underwent a series of measures, including saliva and blood samples for quantification of leptin, ghrelin, IL-1β, IL-6, CRP, and cortisol levels, they completed a cognitive battery using an iPad, and an emotion battery. We found that an acute sleep deprivation, limited to a 24 h period, increases negative emotion states such as anxiety, fatigue, confusion, and depression. In conjunction, sleep deprivation results in increased inflammation and decreased cortisol levels in the morning, that are accompanied by deficits in vigilance and impulsivity. Combined, these results suggest that individuals who undergo 24 h sleep deprivation will induce systemic alterations to inflammation and endocrine functioning, while concomitantly increasing negative emotions.

Cortisol Awakening Response and Stress in Female Nurses on Monthly Shift Rotations: A Longitudinal Study. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:9506583. [PMID: 36158880 PMCID: PMC9499772 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9506583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The majority of shift nurses are female, there is still an expectation that they fulfil the traditional role of women in the family in Asia, often conflicting with shift work, increases stress, and affects cortisol secretion patterns. This study was to understand the changes in the cortisol awakening response (CAR) and work stress in nursing personnel working in different shifts. We recruited 41 female shift nurses. We administered the Taiwan Nurse Stress Checklist (NSC), and the nurses themselves collected saliva samples upon waking and 30 minutes after waking for three consecutive days at home. The saliva samples enabled us to analyze the increase in cortisol levels following waking (CARi) of nurses working different shifts (day, evening, and night). We then analyzed the data obtained using a hierarchical linear model (HLM). The results indicated that in terms of stress from the inability to complete personal tasks, the regression coefficients of night-shift nurses vs. day-shift nurses (B = 4.39, p < .001) and night-shift nurses vs. evening-shift nurses (B = 3.95, p < .001) were positive, which means that night-shift nurses were under significantly greater stress than day-shift and evening-shift nurses. With regard to CARi, the regression coefficients of night-shift nurses vs. day-shift nurses (B = −3.41, p < .001) and night-shift nurses vs. evening-shift nurses (B = −2.92, p < .01) were negative, which means that night-shift nurses have significantly lower CARi values than day-shift and evening-shift nurses. With regard to cortisol levels 30 minutes after waking, the regression coefficients of night-shift nurses vs. day-shift nurses (B = −3.88, p < .01) and night-shift nurses vs. evening-shift nurses (B = −3.31, p < .01) were negative, which means that night-shift nurses have significantly lower cortisol levels 30 minutes after waking than day-shift and evening-shift nurses. These results indicate that female night-shift nurses display the lowest CARi and cortisol levels 30 minutes after waking and are more negatively affected by being unable to complete personal tasks.

Improvement of sleep by resistant dextrin prebiotic in type 2 diabetic women coincides with attenuation of metabolic endotoxemia: involvement of gut-brain axis. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2022; 102:5229-5237. [PMID: 35306660 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.11876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Revised: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Resistant dextrin, as a prebiotic and functional food, may possess favorable effects in type 2 diabetes. This study was conducted to assess whether supplementation with resistant dextrin can improve sleep and quality of life in obese type 2 diabetic women. RESULTS In this randomized controlled trial, female obese type 2 diabetic patients (n = 76) were randomly assigned into intervention group (n = 38) and placebo group (n = 38), and received 10 g day-1 of resistant dextrin or maltodextrin for a period of 8 weeks, respectively. Sleep quality and quality of life (QOL) were assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and SF-36 health survey, respectively. Fasting blood samples were driven to measure serum bacterial endotoxin, fasting blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory biomarkers (IL-18, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α), and biomarkers of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function [tryptophan (TRP), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), kynurenine (KYN), cortisol]. Supplementation with resistant dextrin improved sleep (P < 0.001) and QOL (P < 0.001) significantly. It also caused a significant decrease in levels of endotoxin, HbA1c, IL-18, IL-6, TNF-α and a significant increase in IL-10 levels. Significant and positive correlations were found between endotoxin (r = 0.488, P = 0.003), IL-6 (r = 0.436, P = 0.008), IL-18 (r = 0.475, P = 0.003), cortisol (r = 0.545, P = 0.048), KYN/TRP (r = 0.527, P = 0.001), and PSQI scores. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that resistant dextrin improves sleep and QOL in obese women with type 2 diabetes. Its beneficial effects may be attributed in part to modulation of glycemia, metabolic endotoxemia and subsequently a decrease in biomarkers of inflammation and HPA axis activity. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Studies on the stress-sleep relationship consistently demonstrate negative effects of stress on sleep. The reversed relation, however, has received less research attention. Also, field studies on physiological stress are scarce. The aim of this day-level diary study was to examine daily relationships between sleep quality and quantity, and subjective and physiological stress in an occupational context. Moreover, we examined daily vigour as an underlying mechanism of the sleep-stress relationship. Participants were 167 knowledge workers who filled in daily questionnaires measuring sleep quality and quantity, morning vigour and subjective afternoon stress on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 5 weeks. Physiological stress was assessed with cortisol decline from morning peak to evening, and with blood pressure in the afternoon. Multilevel path analysis results showed that better sleep quality and longer sleep hours predicted increased vigour the following morning, which in turn predicted lower subjective stress in the afternoon. Sleep quality and quantity were not related to physiological stress neither directly nor indirectly via morning vigour. On the basis of our results, sleep should be considered as a factor affecting vigour which in turn seems to lower stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Research shows postnatal depression and shorter breastfeeding are consistently related, but their causal effect remains debatable. To reduce the impact of mental disorders in the perinatal period, lactation may give a significant neuroendocrine effect.
AIM: This study aimed to examine hormonal patterns and estimated breastmilk volume of mothers with depression.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted during the three-trimester to 6-week postnatal period. It involved 60 pregnant women from South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to compare and review fluctuations and effect sizes of cortisol, prolactin, and breastmilk volume of mothers with depression symptoms.
RESULTS: The mean cortisol levels rose in the 4th week and decreased in the 6th week in both groups. There was no substantial difference in the cortisol levels between these periods (p = 0.534; p = 0.553; and p = 0.660), but the prolactin levels continuously increased by 2 weeks and substantially progressed in the 4th and 6th weeks (p < 0.028, p < 0.009), respectively. There was no positive association between cortisol and prolactin levels (p = 0.384). The breastmilk volume was higher every week only in mothers without depression and it slightly decreased in other categories. This study emphasized the prolactin’s protective effect size on a stressful environment characterized by high cortisol; a significant rise in prolactin levels occurred in the 2nd and 4th weeks of postnatal, marking the higher lactation.
CONCLUSIONS: Breastfeeding hormones may provide protection against postpartum depression in moms. It is critical to establish a history of prior trauma in nursing mothers in order to facilitate diagnosis and proper care.

Sleep Satisfaction May Modify the Association between Metabolic Syndrome and BMI, Respectively, and Occupational Stress in Japanese Office Workers. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19095095. [PMID: 35564491 PMCID: PMC9103740 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19095095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The association between obesity and psychological stress is ambiguous. The aim is to investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and body mass index (BMI), respectively, with occupational stress among Japanese office workers. The study is a secondary analysis of the intervention group from a randomized controlled trial. There are 167 participants included in the analysis. Occupational stress is self-reported using the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ). BMI and the classification of MetS/pre-MetS was based on the participants’ annual health check-up data. The primary exposure is divided into three groups: no MetS, pre-MetS, and MetS in accordance with Japanese guidelines. The secondary exposure, BMI, remains as a continuous variable. Multiple linear regression is implemented. Sensitivity analyses are stratified by sleep satisfaction. Pre-MetS is significantly associated with occupational stress (7.84 points; 95% CI: 0.17, 15.51). Among participants with low sleep satisfaction, pre-MetS (14.09 points; 95% CI: 1.71, 26.48), MetS (14.72 points; 95% CI: 0.93, 28.51), and BMI (2.54 points; 95% CI: 0.05, 4.99) are all significantly associated with occupational stress. No significant associations are observed in participants with high sleep satisfaction. The findings of this study indicate that sleep satisfaction may modify the association between MetS and BMI, respectively, and occupational stress.

Abstract
Background The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 had a great impact on the physical and mental health of people all over the world, especially for students whose physical and mental development was not yet mature. In order to understand the physical and mental conditions of students during the epidemic period and provide a theoretical basis for coping with psychological problems in public health emergencies, this study explored the mediating role of sleep disorders in the effect of the psychological stress response (PSR) on non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), along with the moderating role of emotional management ability (EMA). Methods The SRQ-20, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, NSSI Behavior Questionnaire, and Emotional Management Questionnaire were used to investigate the mental health of Chinese students in April 10–20 (Time point 1, T1) and May 20–30 (Time point 2, T2), 2020. A total of 1,955 students (Mage = 19.64 years, 51.4% male) were examined at T1 and 342 students (Mage = 20.06 years, 48.2% male) were reassessed at T2. Results Overall, the detection rate of PSR and NSSI were 17.60% (n = 344) and 24.90% (n = 486) respectively in the T1 sample, and were 16.37% (n = 56) and 25.44% (n = 87), in the T2 sample. We also found that sleep disorders played a mediating role in the effect of PSR on NSSI in the T1 and T2 samples. In addition, EMA was shown to regulate the effect of PSR on sleep disorders and the effect of sleep disorders on NSSI in the T1 samples. Conclusion We found that PSR resulting from public health emergency might lead to NSSI behaviors in individuals. PSR may also cause sleep disorders, which can bring about NSSI. However, these effects were also moderated by the EMA. This research expands our understanding of PSR and NSSI in students during the pandemic.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease, which can be worsened under sleep deprivation (SD) conditions. This study investigated the efficacy and the mechanism of action of the traditional herbal formula Seungmagalgeun-tang (SMGGT) on the inflammation and behavioral changes in a mouse model of AD exposed to SD. SMGGT decreased levels of IgE, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-13, and mast cell infiltration and reduced the expression of CD3 in the mouse skin. SMGGT also reversed the SD-induced increase in corticosterone and decrease in melatonin level. Furthermore, SMGGT reduced the immobility time in the tail suspension test significantly. HaCaT cells and HMC-1 cells were used to investigate the effects of SMGGT on cell signaling pathways. In TNF-α/IFN-γ (TI) treated HaCaT cells, SMGGT reduced production of TARC/CCL17 and MDC/CCL22 and suppressed the p38 MAPK, STAT1, and NF-κB pathways. In substance P (SP)/CRH-stimulated HMC-1 cells, SMGGT decreased VEGF production and inhibited ERK phosphorylation. Network pharmacology and molecular docking analysis revealed that puerarin and paeoniflorin might contribute to the effects of SMGGT by targeting several AD-related molecules and pathways. Puerarin and paeoniflorin exerted anti-inflammatory effects by decreasing production of MDC/CCL22 and IL-6 in TI-treated HaCaT cells and VEGF production in SP/CRH-stimulated HMC-1 cells. This study suggests that SMGGT with puerarin and paeoniflorin as main bioactive components alleviates skin inflammation and depression-like behavior in a sleep-deprived mouse model of AD.

Abstract
Older people with HIV (PWH) experience heightened risk for the acquisition of cumulative, multisystem decline, that is, frailty syndrome. Frailty relates to poorer sleep quality in the general older adult population; however, this association has yet to be explored among PWH. A cross-sectional analysis of 285 PWH ≥50 years of age (mean age 60.5 ± 7.0) examined the relationship between frailty (Fried frailty phenotype) and self-reported sleep quality [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)]. Three separate multivariable linear regression models examined global PSQI as a function of (1) frailty phenotype, (2) total number of frailty symptoms, or (3) specific individual frailty symptoms. Models covaried for demographic and biopsychosocial risk factors, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, premorbid verbal IQ estimate, current depressive symptoms, and diagnosis of a substance abuse disorder. Compared to nonfrail (B = 0.151; p = .021) and prefrail (B = 0.144; p = .021), frail phenotype was related to poorer sleep quality (increased global PSQI; F(5,278) = 11.34, p < .001; R2 = 0.17). Increased number of frailty symptoms (B = 0.144; p = .019; F(4,276) = 12.719, p < .001; R2 = 0.16) and exhaustion was associated with increased global PSQI scores (B = 0.218, p < .001; F(6,247) = 10.436, p < .001; R2 = 0.19). In all models, older age, female sex, and elevated current depressive symptoms were associated with poorer sleep quality. In older PWH, greater frailty symptoms related to poorer sleep quality, independent of psychosocial risk factors for poor sleep. Frailty and poor sleep individually have adverse effects on health and everyday functioning; thus, establishing this association may better aid providers to screen for and treat problems with sleep quality and/or frailty among PWH.

Hair Cortisol, Perceived Stress, and the Effect of Group Dynamics: A Longitudinal Study of Young Men during Compulsory Military Training in Lithuania. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19031663. [PMID: 35162686 PMCID: PMC8835136 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19031663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Previous research shows a nonlinear dependency between hair cortisol concentrations and perceived stress levels. This may be due to stress being targeted at the individual level despite it also being a social phenomenon which is often affected by group dynamics. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the influence of perceived stress on the hair cortisol level, considering the impact of the variables of group dynamics (interpersonal, task, and norm cohesion). Information was collected on 11 groups of, in total, 112 young men in three phases of time during their compulsory military training (covering nine months in total). The classification and regression tree (C&RT) method was used to predict hair cortisol concentrations in groups. The results show that the variability of the hair cortisol level in young men groups can be explained by perceived stress only when the groups were in formation process (47.7% normalised importance in Model 1) and when the groups were working on their final tasks (37.80% normalised importance in Model 3); meanwhile, the importance of perceived stress in explaining hair cortisol concentrations is low when the group is in a routine period of a group life-span (28.9% normalised importance in Model 2). Interpersonal cohesion (normalised importance 100% in Model 1 and 80.0% in Model 3) and task cohesion (normalised importance 78.6% in Model 2) were the most important predictors in the study area. These results point to the importance of the elements of group dynamics when it comes to explaining the nature of hair cortisol as accumulated stress biomarkers in young men.

Garland SN, Ivers H, Savard J. Prospective Rates, Longitudinal Associations, and Factors Associated With Comorbid Insomnia Symptoms and Perceived Cognitive Impairment. Front Neurosci 2022; 15:817933.

Abstract
BackgroundInsomnia and cognitive impairment are both common conditions experienced by people diagnosed with cancer. Individually, these conditions have negative impacts on functioning, but the combined burden has yet to be evaluated. The purpose of this research was to estimate rates of comorbid insomnia and perceived cognitive impairments, examine the longitudinal associations between these two conditions, and identify demographic and clinical factors associated with reporting both insomnia and perceived cognitive impairment.MethodsIn this secondary analysis, a heterogeneous sample of 962 patients completed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) at the time of their cancer surgery (baseline; T1) and then again at 2 (T2), 6 (T3), 10 (T4), 14 (T5), and 18 (T6) months. Correlations and partial correlations, controlling for age and education level, were computed at each time point to assess the relationship between ISI and CFQ scores. Cross-lagged correlations assessed associations between ISI and CFQ scores over time. Proportions of patients with comorbid insomnia and cognitive impairments were calculated and logistic regressions investigated changes over time in these proportions. ANOVAs, logistic regressions, ordinal regressions, and multinomial regressions were used to identify risk factors of having comorbid insomnia and cognitive difficulties.ResultsSignificant and bidirectional correlations between ISI and CFQ scores were observed at each time point and over time. The proportion of patients having both clinical levels of insomnia and perceived cognitive difficulties ranged from 18.73 to 25.84% across time points and this proportion was significantly greater at T1 and T2 than T4, T5, and T6. Participants who reported comorbid insomnia and cognitive impairment were more likely to be younger, female, not currently working, currently receiving chemotherapy, with clinical levels depression and anxiety, and using antidepressants or anxiolytics.ConclusionComorbid insomnia and perceived cognitive impairment affects around one in five patients and is more frequent at the beginning of the cancer care trajectory. The relationship between insomnia and cognitive impairment appears to be bidirectional. Insomnia may represent an important patient level vulnerability that when identified and treated can improve perception of cognitive function.

Sleep disorders and non-sleep circadian disorders predict depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2022; 134:104532.

Abstract
Patients with depression often suffer from sleep disorders and non-sleep circadian disorders. However, whether they precede and predict subsequent depression is unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis of studies on sleep disorders and non-sleep circadian disorders. We found insomnia, hypersomnia, short and long sleep duration, obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome and eveningness orientation at baseline all led to subsequent depression. Those with propensity to late meal patterns, heightened levels of cortisol in awakening response and low robustness of rest-activity rhythm at baseline had higher risks for later depression. Among insomnia subtypes, difficulty initiating sleep and difficulty maintaining sleep predicted future depression. Notably, persistent insomnia at baseline contributed to more than two-fold risk of incident depression compared to insomnia. Moreover, insomnia symptom numbers showed dose-dependent relationship with the incident depression. In conclusion, different types of sleep disorders and non-sleep circadian disorders were proven to be risk factors of subsequent depression, and mechanisms underlying the relationship between sleep disorders, non-sleep circadian disorders and subsequent depression should be further elucidated in the future.

Abstract
Sleep health and its adaptation to individual and environmental factors are crucial to promote physical and mental well-being across animal species. In recent years, increasing evidence has been reported regarding the relationship between sleep and the immune system and how sleep disturbances may perturb the delicate balance with severe repercussions on health outcomes. For instance, experimental sleep deprivation studies in vivo have reported several major detrimental effects on immune health, including induced failure of host defense in rats and increased risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS) and immune suppression in humans. In addition, two novel risk factors for dysregulated metabolic physiology have recently been identified: sleep disruption and circadian misalignment. In light of these recent findings about the interplay between sleep and the immune system, in this review, we focus on the relationship between sleep deprivation and immunity against viruses, with a special interest in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Purpose: Observational research has indicated the presence of a causal relationship between sleep disturbances and low back pain (LBP). However, the link may have been biased by confounding factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential causal association of insomnia and daytime sleepiness with LBP by using mendelian randomization (MR). Methods: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics of insomnia were obtained from a large-scale GWAS meta-analysis (n = 1,331,010; individuals from UK Biobank and 23andMe) or UK Biobank alone (n = 453,379). The summary statistics of daytime sleepiness were from UK Biobank (n = 452,071) and LBP were provided by the FinnGen Release 6 (210,645 individuals with 16,356 LBP cases and 194,289 controls) or UK Biobank (5,423 cases versus 355,771 controls). Linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) regression and bidirectional MR analysis was employed to estimate genetic correlation and causal relationship. In the MR analysis, the inverse variance weighted method (IVW) was utilized as the main analysis procedure, while MR-Egger, Weighted median and Robust adjusted profile score (RAPS) were utilized for supplementary analyses. Results: LDSC analysis showed that LBP were significantly genetically correlated with insomnia (rg = 0.57, p = 2.26e-25) and daytime sleepiness (rg = 0.18, p = 0.001). The MR analysis revealed that genetically predicted insomnia was significantly associated with an increased risk of LBP (OR = 1.250, 95% CI: 1.186-1.318; p = 1.69e-16). However, the reverse causality was not confirmed. No evidence was identified supporting causality of daytime sleepiness and LBP. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a putative causal link of insomnia on LBP and a null causal effect of LBP on insomnia. Furthermore, a causal link between daytime sleepiness and LBP were not reported. This finding may stimulate new strategies for patient management in clinical practice, benefiting public health.

Abstract
PURPOSE Large-scale natural disasters have an enormous physical and mental impact, immediately after they occur, on people living near the central disaster areas. It is known that, in the early stages, a seismic disaster triggers high rates of symptoms for insomnia, depression, and anxiety. However, little information is available about their medium- to long-term clinical outcomes. In this study, we conducted a repeated cross-sectional nationwide questionnaire survey to clarify changes in the prevalence of insomnia and its background factors after the Great East Japan Earthquake, a huge earthquake with a moment magnitude of 9.0 that occurred on March 11, 2011. METHODS We conducted a repeated cross-sectional survey in November 2009 (pre-earthquake, 1224 participants), July 2011 (4 months post-earthquake, 1259 participants), and August 2012 (18 months post-earthquake, 1289 participants) using stratified random sampling from 157 Japanese sites. RESULTS Compared to 2009, the prevalence of insomnia statistically increased nationwide immediately post-disaster (11.7% vs 21.2%; p < 0.001) but significantly decreased in 2012 compared to immediately after the earthquake (10.6% vs 21.2%; p < 0.001). In 2011, insomnia was most frequent in the central disaster area. Multivariable logistic regression models demonstrated the association between the following factors and increased risk of insomnia: being a woman (odds ratio [OR] 1.48, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.00-2.19), being employed in 2009 (OR 1.74, 95% CI: 1.15-2.62), and being of younger age group (20-64 years) in 2011 (OR 1.64, 95% CI: 1.12-2.42) and 2012 (OR 2.50 95% CI: 1.47-4.23). Post-earthquake, the prevalence of insomnia symptoms in men increased, while the gender difference decreased and was no longer statistically significant. Additionally, insomnia was associated with psychological distress (scores ≥5 on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale) in 2011 and 2012. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the prevalence of insomnia was significantly higher after the earthquake. Moreover, individuals with insomnia were more likely to experience psychological distress after the earthquake that continued until 2012.

The Effect of 12 Hz Extremely Low-frequency Electromagnetic Field on Visual Memory of Male Macaque Monkeys. Basic Clin Neurosci 2022; 13:1-14. [PMID: 36589014 PMCID: PMC9790106 DOI: 10.32598/bcn.2021.724.8] [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: 10/08/2019] [Revised: 02/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Today, humans live in a world surrounded by electromagnetic fields. Numerous studies have been conducted to discover the biological, physiological, and behavioral effects of electromagnetic fields on humans and animals. Given the biological similarities between monkeys and humans, The present research aimed to examine Visual Memory (VM), hormonal, genomic, and anatomic changes, in the male rhesus macaques exposed to an Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Field (ELF-MF). Methods Four male rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) were used. For the behavioral tests, the animals should be fasting for 17 hours. For the tests such as visual memory, the animal's cooperation was necessary. Using the radiation protocol, we exposed two monkeys to a 12-Hz electromagnetic field with a magnitude of 0.7 μT (electromagnetic radiation) four hours a day for a month. Before and after the exposure, a visual memory test was conducted using a coated device (visible reward) on a movable stand. Ten milliliters of blood was obtained from the femoral artery of each monkey, and half of it was used to examine cortisol serum levels using the MyBioSource kit (made in the USA). The other half of the blood was used to extract lymphocytes for assaying expressions of Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) genes before and after radiation using the PCR method. Anatomic studies of the amygdala were carried out based on pre- and post-radiation Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Results Research results indicated that visual memory in male primates increased significantly after exposure to the 12-Hz frequency. Hormonal analysis at the 12-Hz frequency showed a decrease in cortisol serum levels. However, visual memory and serum cortisol levels did not change considerably in male primates in the control group. There was no considerable amygdala volumetric difference after exposure to the 12-Hz frequency. The expression of the GR genes decreased in the 12-Hz group compared to the control group. Conclusion In short, these results indicated that ELF might benefit memory enhancement because exposure to the 12-HZ ELF can enhance visual memory. This outcome may be due to a decrease in plasma cortisol and or expression of GR genes. Moreover, direct amygdala involvement in this regard cannot be recommended. Highlights The effects of Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (ELF-EMF) of 12 Hz on monkeys were studied.The results showed a reduction in the serum cortisol levels and the expression of GR genes.The amygdala anatomical area changes were not significant in the experimental group.In the experimental group, visual memory (delay of 30- and 60-s evaluation) improved after exposure to a frequency of 12 Hz. Plain Language Summary Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields are among the most important factors affecting humans. This study aimed to determine the fields of 12-Hz frequency on the visual memory changes of male monkeys. The importance of research is due to the cognitive similarity of monkeys to humans. The findings of the research can be attributed to humans. Behavioral, hormonal, genetic, and anatomical studies indicated improvement in visual memory (test monkeys versus control monkeys). This study demonstrates the effect of the 12-Hz frequency on the monkey's visual memory. Researchers can study 12-Hz frequency in other cognitive indices.

Abstract
Aging and age-related diseases represent hot topics of current research. Progressive damage in morphology and function of cells and tissue characterizes the normal process of aging that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The ability of each individual to adapt to these stressors defines the type of aging and the onset of age-related diseases (i.e., metabolic syndrome, inflammatory disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases). The endocrine system plays a critical role in this process because of its complex relationships with brain, immune system, and skeletal muscle; thus, alterations in hormonal networks occur during aging to maintain homeostasis, with consequent under- or overactivity of specific hypothalamic-pituitary-peripheral hormone axes. On the other hand, the increase in life expectancy has led to increasing incidence of age-related diseases, including endocrine disorders, which may prompt assessment of endocrine function in aging individuals. In this context, there is growing awareness that natural changes of endocrine physiology and physiopathology occurring with increasing age may necessitate age-driven diagnostic cutoffs requiring validation in the elderly. This review aims to analyze the available literature on the hormone response to the most important dynamic tests currently used in the clinical practice for the screening of anterior pituitary-related diseases to underline pitfalls in interpretation during aging.

Abstract
O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a associação entre duração de sono e composição corporal em adolescentes. Estudo transversal, com 1.269 adolescentes de 18 e 19 anos da coorte de nascimentos de 1997/1998 de São Luís, Maranhão, Brasil. A duração do sono foi avaliada a partir dos dados registrados por acelerometria. A composição corporal foi avaliada pelo o índice de massa gorda (IMG), índice de massa muscular (IMM) e índice de massa corporal (IMC). Os fatores de confusão foram identificados em gráfico acíclico direcionado no programa DAGitty 3.0. Foram realizadas análises descritivas para todas as variáveis e, posteriormente, regressão linear, com estimativa dos coeficientes de regressão brutos e ajustados, com os respectivos intervalos de 95% de confiança (IC95%). Nos adolescentes do sexo masculino, cada hora a mais de sono associou-se a reduções de 0,30kg/m2 do IMM (IC95%: -0,45; -0,15), de 0,26kg/m2 do IMG (IC95%: -0,48; -0,03) e 0,61kg/m2 do IMC (IC95%: -0,93; -0,30). Nas adolescentes, cada hora a mais de sono associou-se à redução de 0,22kg/m2 do IMM (IC95%: -0,36; -0,07). A maior duração do sono associou-se a menor IMM em ambos os sexos e menor IMG e IMC no sexo masculino, o que evidencia a importância de ter adequadas horas de sono para melhorar os índices de composição corporal.

Abstract
Global rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are increasing globally concomitant with a rising prevalence of sleep deprivation and sleep disorders. Understanding the links between sleep, obesity and T2DM might offer an opportunity to develop better prevention and treatment strategies for these epidemics. Experimental studies have shown that sleep restriction is associated with changes in energy homeostasis, insulin resistance and β-cell function. Epidemiological cohort studies established short sleep duration as a risk factor for developing obesity and T2DM. In addition, small studies suggested that short sleep duration was associated with less weight loss following lifestyle interventions or bariatric surgery. In this article, we review the epidemiological evidence linking sleep duration to obesity and T2DM and plausible mechanisms. In addition, we review the impact of changes in sleep duration on obesity and T2DM.

Sleep Med Rev 2021; 61:101565.

Abstract
University students experience high prevalence of mental health problems and exacerbation of mental health difficulties, including sleep disturbances and stress during their studies. Stress and poor sleep quality and/or insomnia are interlinked outcomes for this population. The aim was to conduct a systematic review, and meta-analyses, of the relationships between sleep quality and/or insomnia with stress in students. Full-text articles of studies exploring the associations of stress with poor sleep quality and/or insomnia in undergraduate students using validated tools and published in peer-reviewed journals were eligible for inclusion. Thirty-four studies, resulting in 37 effect sizes, included and all were suitable for meta-analysis. The weighted pooled effect size between sleep quality and stress was for 0.39 (25 studies, n = 10,065), whereas a slightly higher pooled association of 0.41 was demonstrated for insomnia and stress (12 studies, n = 5564.5). Pooled associations show moderate effects for associations between sleep quality, insomnia and stress in undergraduate students. High heterogeneity in meta-analyses was found, suggesting the findings should be considered cautiously. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies exploring sleep difficulties across the academic year, whilst university services should consider psychoeducation for stress and sleep in university students, especially during transition to university.
