Gao X, Chen P, Liu J, Fan X, Wu Z, Fang H, Zhang Z. Sleep quality and perceived stress levels in Chinese patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis: a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey. Postgrad Med 2024:1-8. [PMID: 39215405 DOI: 10.1080/00325481.2024.2399500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate sleep quality and perceived stress levels in Chinese patients with active minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis (MiRAS) lesions, as well as to investigate the potential relationship between sleep quality and perceived stress levels and the risk of MiRAS episodes. METHODS The study population consisted of individuals recruited from a Chinese cohort who underwent medical and oral examinations from March 2022 to August 2023. All participants completed a set of uniform anonymous questionnaires, which included sociodemographic characteristics, clinical information, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14). Statistical analysis was conducted using the independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson's chi-square test and Pearson's correlation analysis. After adjusting for potential confounders (age, gender, marital status, and education level), multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the associations of sleep quality and perceived stress levels with the risk of MiRAS episodes. Additionally, restricted cubic spline curves were constructed to visualize these correlations. RESULTS A total of 329 eligible volunteers participated in the study, comprising 122 Chinese MiRAS patients and 207 healthy controls without MiRAS. Compared to healthy participants, MiRAS patients exhibited significantly higher PSQI and ISI scores (p = 0.000). However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding PSS-14 scores or its two subscales (p > 0.05). Multiple regression analysis indicated that lower sleep quality was significantly associated with an increased risk of MiRAS episodes (p = 0.000), whereas no statistically significant relationship was found between perceived stress levels and the risk of MiRAS episodes (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Maintaining a regular bedtime and improving sleep quality may contribute to reducing the incidence and recurrence of MiRAS, while psychological intervention may be ineffective for MiRAS patients.

Sleep deprivation modulates APOE and LDL receptor-related protein 1 through thyroid hormone T4 and impairs Aβ clearance in hippocampus of rats. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2023; 1869:166729. [PMID: 37137431 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2023.166729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. One of its pathological hallmarks is Aβ accumulation, which is influenced by APOE genotype and expression, as well as by sleep homeostasis. However, conflicting mechanisms for APOE roles in Aβ clearance have been reported, and the relationship between APOE and sleep also remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate how hormonal alteration caused by sleep deprivation affects APOE and its receptors in rats, and to evaluate the role of different cell types in Aβ clearance. Paradoxical sleep deprivation for 96 h increased Aβ level in hippocampus with concomitant reduction of APOE and LRP1 at the time point within the resting period. Sleep deprivation also significantly reduced T4 levels in both active and resting times. To evaluate the effect of T4 variation, C6 glial cells and primary brain endothelial cells were treated with T4. High T4 level (300 ng/mL) increased APOE, but reduced LRP1 and LDL-R in C6 cells, while in primary endothelial cells, LDL-R levels were increased. Treatment of C6 cells with exogenous APOE reduced LRP1 and Aβ uptake. These results suggest that T4 modulates LRP1 and LDL-R in both cell types, but in the opposite manner, thus, sleep deprivation might modify the ratio of the receptors in blood-brain barrier and glial cells by altering T4 levels. Considering that LRP1 and LDL-R are important for Aβ clearance, sleep deprivation might also affect the degree of participation of glia in Aβ clearance, and consequently, turnover of Aβ in the brain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To retrospectively investigate the feasibility and impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of a digital care programme (DCP) designed to guide personalised diet and integrative interventions in a variety of autoimmune diseases and long COVID. METHODS Adults who participated in the DCP between April 2020 and June 2022, and for whom baseline (BL) and end-of-programme (EOP) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores were available, were included in this retrospective study. Changes from BL to EOP were calculated using standardised T-scores. RESULTS Two hundred two adults between 17 and 82 years old were included. Diagnoses included: rheumatoid arthritis (20.1%); long COVID (14.9%); psoriatic arthritis (10.9%); psoriasis (8.9%); systemic lupus erythematosus (6.4%); inflammatory bowel disease (5.9%); multiple sclerosis (5.9%); ankylosing spondylitis (5.4%) and other (23.3%). On average, individuals entered observations 7.6 times/day on 86% of programme days, attended 14 coach sessions and completed the programme in an average of 17.2 weeks. Statistically significant improvements were seen in all 10 PROMIS domains analysed. Individuals with higher severity of compromise at BL experienced greater average improvements than all-comers in all 10 PROMIS domains included. CONCLUSION An evidence-based DCP that uses patient data to help identify hidden symptom triggers and guide personalised dietary and other non-pharmacological interventions was associated with a high level of engagement and adherence and statistically significant, clinically meaningful improvements in HRQoL. Those with the least favourable PROMIS scores at BL experienced the greatest improvements.

Seungmagalgeun-Tang, a Traditional Herbal Formula, Alleviates Skin Inflammation and Depression-Like Behavior in Atopic Dermatitis Mice under Sleep Deprivation Conditions. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:1307173. [PMID: 35368752 PMCID: PMC8967505 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1307173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
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
Attention to key features of contexts and things is a necessary tool for all organisms. Detecting these salient features of cues, or simply, salience, can also be affected by exposure to traumatic stress, as has been widely reported in individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Interestingly, similar observations have been robustly replicated across many animal models of stress as well. By using evidence from such rodent stress paradigms, in the present review, we explore PTSD through the lens of salience processing. In this context, we propose that interaction between the neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glucocorticoids determines the long lasting cellular and behavioural consequences of stress salience. We also describe the dual effect of glucocorticoid therapy in the amelioration of PTSD symptoms. Finally, by integrating in vivo observations at multiple scales of plasticity, we propose a unifying hypothesis that pivots on a crucial role of glucocorticoid signalling in dynamically orchestrating stress salience.

Abstract
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common disease of oral mucosa, which almost attacks each individual once in their lifespan. Although plenty of factors have been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of RAS, the aetiology of RAS is still controversial, which might lead to limited clinical therapies in accordance with each RAS patient. This review mainly illustrates recent advances in potential causes associated with RAS in detail. Deeper comprehension of the aetiology of RAS will support doctors and researchers to make a better management of RAS patients and to discover new treatments. The aetiology of RAS is complicated, hence we should take a comprehensive view into its aetiology, with multiple potential factors being considered. Sample collection of RAS patients have greatly limited the progress in the aetiology of RAS. A research model of multiagency cooperation can help achieve perfect sample collection of year-round and multiposition.

Abstract
AIMS Sleep deficiency has been reported to be associated with some oral health problems. Oral ulcers are very common lesions of the oral mucosa, which severely impact patients' quality of life. However, the association between sleep deficiency and the oral ulcer remains unknown. The present study aims to explore the effects of sleep deficiency on oral ulcers. MAIN METHODS Rats were divided into normal control group (n = 30) and oral ulcer group (OU group, n = 50). Model rats with phenol-induced oral ulcers were deprived of sleep for 72 h by using the modified multiple platform technique. KEY FINDINGS Sleep deprivation worsened oral ulcers and delayed healing process in rats. In addition, sleep deprivation increased the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA, P < 0.01) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, P < 0.05) levels in serum and brain, the corticotrophin (ACTH, P < 0.05), corticosterone (CORT, P < 0.01), immunoglobulin (Ig)M (P < 0.01), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (P < 0.01), interleukin (IL)-1β (P < 0.01), IL-6 (P < 0.01), IL-8 (P < 0.01), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) (P < 0.01), and 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG, P < 0.01) levels in serum. Sleep deprivation also up-regulated malonaldehyde (MDA) (P < 0.05), TNF-α (P < 0.05), and IL-1β (P < 0.01) levels in oral mucosa tissue and delayed superoxide dismutase (SOD, P < 0.05) activity recovery. SIGNIFICANCE These data suggest that sleep deprivation impaired the oral ulcer healing in rat oral mucosa, and the mechanisms of this effect are probably related to neuro-immuno-endocrine system and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Sleep homeostasis depends on the length and quality (occurrence of stressful events, for instance) of the preceding waking time. Forced wakefulness (sleep deprivation or sleep restriction) is one of the main tools used for the understanding of mechanisms that play a role in homeostatic processes involved in sleep regulation and their interrelations. Interestingly, forced wakefulness for periods longer than 24 h activates stress response systems, whereas stressful events impact on sleep pattern. Hypothalamic peptides (corticotropin-releasing hormone, prolactin, and the CLIP/ACTH18-39) play an important role in the expression of stress-induced sleep effects, essentially by modulating rapid eye movement sleep, which has been claimed to affect the organism resilience to the deleterious effects of stress. Some of the mechanisms involved in the generation and regulation of sleep and the main peptides/hypothalamic hormones involved in these responses will be discussed in this review.

Abstract
Age-associated dysregulation of sleep can be worsened by Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD and sleep restriction both impair cognition, yet it is unknown if mild chronic sleep restriction modifies the proteopathic processes involved in AD. The goal of this work was to test the hypothesis that sleep restriction worsens memory impairments, and amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) and pTau accumulations in the brain in a mouse model of AD, with a focus on a role for circulating glucocorticoids (GC). Male 3xTgAD mice were subjected to sleep restriction (SR) for 6h/day for 6 weeks using the modified multiple platform technique, and behavioral (Morris water maze, fear conditioning, open field) and biochemical (immunoblot) outcomes were compared to mice undergoing daily cage transfers (large cage control; LCC) as well as control mice that remained in their home cage (control; CTL). At one week, both LCC and SR mice displayed significant elevations in plasma corticosterone compared to CTL (p<0.002). By four weeks, SR mice displayed a two-fold increase in circulating corticosterone levels compared to CTL. Behavioral data indicated deficits in contextual and cued memory in SR mice that were not present for LCC or CTL (p<0.04). Both Aβ and pTau levels increased in the cortex of SR mice compared to CTL and LCC; however these changes were not noted in the hippocampus. Significant positive correlations between cortical Aβ and pTau levels and circulating corticosterone indicate a potential role for GCs in mediating behavioral and biochemical changes observed after sleep restriction in a mouse model of AD.

Abstract
Sleep disturbances have far-reaching effects on the neuroendocrine and immune systems and may be linked to disease manifestation. Sleep deprivation can accelerate the onset of lupus in NZB/NZWF(1) mice, an animal model of severe systemic lupus erythematosus. High prolactin (PRL) concentrations are involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus in human beings, as well as in NZB/NZWF(1) mice. We hypothesized that PRL could be involved in the earlier onset of the disease in sleep-deprived NZB/NZWF(1) mice. We also investigated its binding to dopaminergic receptors, since PRL secretion is mainly controlled by dopamine. Female NZB/NZWF(1) mice aged 9 weeks were deprived of sleep using the multiple platform method. Blood samples were taken for the determination of PRL concentrations and quantitative receptor autoradiography was used to map binding of the tritiated dopaminergic receptor ligands [3H]-SCH23390, [3H]-raclopride and [3H]-WIN35,428 to D(1) and D(2) dopaminergic receptors and dopamine transporter sites throughout the brain, respectively. Sleep deprivation induced a significant decrease in plasma PRL secretion (2.58 +/- 0.95 ng/mL) compared with the control group (25.25 +/- 9.18 ng/mL). The binding to D(1) and D(2) binding sites was not significantly affected by sleep deprivation; however, dopamine transporter binding was significantly increased in subdivisions of the caudate-putamen--posterior (16.52 +/- 0.5 vs 14.44 +/- 0.6), dorsolateral (18.84 +/- 0.7 vs 15.97 +/- 0.7) and ventrolateral (24.99 +/- 0.5 vs 22.54 +/- 0.7 microCi/g), in the sleep-deprived mice when compared to the control group. These results suggest that PRL is not the main mechanism involved in the earlier onset of the disease observed in sleep-deprived NZB/NZWF(1) mice and the reduction of PRL concentrations after sleep deprivation may be mediated by modifications in the dopamine transporter sites of the caudate-putamen.

Abstract
Neonatal manipulations are known to alter the activity of the immune system and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This study was performed in order to examine whether brief and long maternal separations (BMS and LMS, respectively) interfere with the onset and development of murine lupus in NZB/NZWF1 females, and to determine whether the pattern of corticosterone (CORT) secretion throughout life is associated to the expression of the disease. Maternal separation was performed daily during postnatal days 1-14, lasting 15 min in the BMS group and 3h in the LMS group. Blood was sampled from the retro-orbital plexus on the 9th week, and every other week, from 10th to 34th weeks of life, for detection of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and anti-double-strand DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies, and for determination of CORT serum levels. Urine samples were collected on the 21st, 27th, 33rd and 37th weeks of life. There were no group differences in regard to disease-related parameters, but LMS females presented a tendency for late onset of anti-dsDNA antibodies. BMS and LMS mice exhibited reduced CORT levels compared to non-manipulated (NM) animals. There was a strong negative correlation between total mean CORT concentration and onset of ANA, and a strong positive correlation between total mean CORT concentration and life span only in the NM group. Neonatal manipulations appeared to eliminate these correlations; hence, both BMS and LMS modified basal CORT secretion and the association between glucocorticoids and immune activity in the NZB/NZWF1 mouse strain.
