Zhu W, Wang Y, Tang J, Wang F. Sleep quality as a mediator between family function and life satisfaction among Chinese older adults in nursing home. BMC Geriatr 2024; 24:379. [PMID: 38684958 PMCID: PMC11059730 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-024-04996-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The life satisfaction of the elderly in nursing home is the focus of social concern.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of family function and sleep quality on life satisfaction among elderly individuals in nursing homes and examine the mediating effect of sleep quality between family function and life satisfaction. METHODS A cross-sectional observational study was conducted .A total of 127 older adults who completed the Life Satisfaction Index A (LSI-A), the Family APGAR Index and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were recruited from four nursing homes in Chongqing, China. RESULTS Life satisfaction was positively correlated with family function (r=0.434, p<0.01) and negatively correlated with PSQI (r = -0.514, p<0.01). PSQI was found to be negatively associated with family function (r=-0.387, p<0.01).Family function had a significant effect on PSQI (path a: β=-0.8459, 95% CI=-1.2029, -0.4889), and PSQI had a significant effect on life satisfaction (path b: β=-0.3916, 95% CI=-0.5407, -0.2425). The total effect (path c) and direct effect (path c') of family function on life satisfaction were significant (β=0.8931, 95% CI=0.5626, 1.2235 and β=0.56181, 95% CI=0.2358, 0.8879, respectively). The coefficient for the indirect effect of family function on life satisfaction through PSQI was statistically significant (β=0.3312, 95% CI=0.1628, 0.5588). PSQI played a partial mediating role between family function and life satisfaction, and PSQI mediated 32.58% of the total effect of family function on life satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS Family function and sleep quality were significant predictors of elderly people's life satisfaction in nursing homes. Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between family function and life satisfaction.The interventions focused on promoting family function and improving sleep quality may be more helpful in improving elderly people's life satisfaction in nursing homes.

A comparison of two obesity-related hypoventilation disorders: Impact on sleep, quality of life and neurocognitive outcomes and the effects of positive airway pressure therapy. SLEEP ADVANCES : A JOURNAL OF THE SLEEP RESEARCH SOCIETY 2024; 5:zpae016. [PMID: 38571727 PMCID: PMC10990061 DOI: 10.1093/sleepadvances/zpae016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Study Objectives Symptom impact and neurocognitive function have not been previously compared between patients with obesity-associated hypoventilation disorders (obesity hypoventilation syndrome [OHS]) and hypoventilation in the setting of obesity and obstructive airways disease (OHAD). The aim of this study is to compare baseline sleep-related symptoms, health-related quality of life, and neurocognitive function between OHS and OHAD and the impact of PAP therapy on these outcomes. Methods Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Pittsburgh Sleepiness Quality Index (PSQI), SF36, and various neurocognitive tests, in addition to anthropometric, polysomnography, lung function, and blood gas data from participants with OHS and participants with OHAD, were included in the analysis. These data were originally collected in their respective randomized clinical trials, comparing the efficacy of different PAP modes (bilevel PAP vs. CPAP) in resolving hypercapnia. Between groups (OHS vs OHAD), pre- and post-treatment (with 3 months of positive airway pressure) comparisons were made using linear mixed modeling. Results 45 OHS participants (mean age 51 years old, 33% female, BMI 52 kg/m2, FER 0.81, PaCO2 54 mmHg, AHI 87/h) and 32 OHAD participants (mean age 61years old, 31% female, BMI 43kg/m2, FER 0.60, PaCO2 54 mmHg, AHI 59/h) were included in the analysis. Both OHS and OHAD had similar baseline ESS (14(5.6) vs. 12(5.4)), Global PSQI (10(3.2) vs. 11(4.8)), SF36 and neurocognitive test performances (other than OHAD had lower digit symbol substitution test performance). Treatment with PAP therapy resulted in similar ESS, Global PSQI, and SF36 improvements in both groups. Neurocognitive performance did not significantly improve after PAP therapy in either group. Conclusions The symptom impact between two separate hypoventilation disorders (OHS and OHAD), in terms of sleepiness, sleep quality, quality of life, and cognitive function, were similar. OHS and OHAD had similar treatment responses in these parameters after 3 months of PAP therapy.Nocturnal ventilatory support in OHS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disturbances are considered a hallmark of dementia, and strong evidence supports the association between alterations in sleep parameters and cognitive decline in patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD). OBJECTIVE This systematic review aims to summarize the existing evidence on the longitudinal association between sleep parameters and cognitive decline, with the goal of identifying potential sleep biomarkers of AD-related neurodegeneration. METHODS Literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases from inception to 28 March 2023. Longitudinal studies investigating the association between baseline objectively-measured sleep parameters and cognitive decline were assessed for eligibility. RESULTS Seventeen studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Sleep fragmentation, reduced sleep efficiency, reduced REM sleep, increased light sleep, and sleep-disordered breathing were identified as predictors of cognitive decline. Sleep duration exhibited a U-shaped relation with subsequent neurodegeneration. Additionally, several sleep microstructural parameters were associated with cognitive decline, although inconsistencies were observed across studies. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that sleep alterations hold promise as early biomarker of cognitive decline, but the current evidence is limited due to substantial methodological heterogeneity among studies. Further research is necessary to identify the most reliable sleep parameters for predicting cognitive impairment and AD, and to investigate interventions targeting sleep that can assist clinicians in the early recognition and treatment of cognitive decline. Standardized procedures for longitudinal studies evaluating sleep and cognition should be developed and the use of continuous sleep monitoring techniques, such as actigraphy or EEG headband, might be encouraged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Integrase inhibitors (INSTIs) have been associated with poorer cognition in people with HIV (PWH). We examined the impact of switching to INSTIs on neuropsychological (NP) outcomes in PWH 40 years of age and older. METHODS From the AIDS Clinical Trials Group observational cohort study, HAILO, we identified PWH who switched to INSTIs, had ≥2 NP assessments before and at least 1 after switch, and maintained viral suppression while on INSTIs. NP performance was assessed with a composite score (NPZ4) including Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT-R), Digit Symbol test (DSY), Trail Making A, and Trail Making B, while adjusting for covariates and learning effects. Outcomes changes from preswitch and postswitch periods were estimated using piecewise linear mixed models. RESULTS Among 395 PWH (mean age 54 years, 81% male, 20% Hispanic, and 29% Black) NPZ4 increased preswitch and postswitch. There was no difference in slopes between periods for NPZ4 [preswitch 0.036/year (95% CI: 0.03 to 0.043); postswitch 0.022/year (95% CI: 0.006 to 0.005); P = 0.147]. All tests scores improved preswitch (P < 0.01). Postswitch, Trail Making A and DSY increased (all P < 0.01) without differences in rate of change (all P > 0.05). HVLT-R had a nonsignificant decrease postswitch (P = 0.22), resulting in a significant preswitch vs postswitch difference in slopes (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS NP performance improved regardless of INSTI use. There was an attenuation of improvement in verbal memory in the postswitch vs preswitch period. The clinical significance of these changes is unclear but, overall, INSTIs did not have a consistent detrimental effect on NP outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An association between sleep behaviors and muscle-fat mass is continuously interesting topic. METHODS Based on the survey on sleep behaviors (quality and duration), the poor quality of sleep was evaluated when the subject did not feel satisfied after sleep, while the good quality was evaluated as they feel refreshed. A total of 19,770 participants were divided into the four groups according to changes in sleep quality: Good-to-Good (those who continuously maintained good quality), Good-to-Poor (those who reported initial good quality but subsequently reported a poor quality), Poor-to-Poor (those who continuously maintained poor quality), and Poor-to-Good (those who reported improved quality of sleep). As changes in skeletal muscle and fat mass index [kg/m2] were estimated by a validated prediction equation, multiple linear regression was used to calculate adjusted mean (adMean) of muscle and fat mass according to changes in sleep behavior. RESULTS When sleep duration decreased and quality of sleep deteriorated (from good to poor), fat mass index significantly increased (adMean: 0.087 for the Good-to-Good group and 0.210 for the Good-to-Poor group; p-value = 0.006). On the other hand, as the quality of sleep deteriorated, skeletal muscle mass more decreased despite the maintained sleep duration (adMean: -0.024 for the Good-to-Good group and - 0.049 for the Good-to-Poor group; p-value = 0.009). CONCLUSION Our results showed that changes in sleep quality and duration affect changes in muscle and fat mass. Thus, we suggest maintaining a good quality of sleep, even if sleep duration is reduced, to preserve muscle mass and inhibit the accumulation of fat.

Abstract
Sleep is a set of physiological processes mainly under neurobiological regulation that affect several physiological systems, and sleep disorders are a condition where normal sleep patterns are disturbed. Clinical studies have confirmed the effects of acupuncture on sleep duration and quality. Although many studies have explored the therapeutic effects of acupuncture on sleep disorders, the mechanisms are unclear. We investigated the mechanism of acupuncture efficacy in a rodent model of sleep disorders and evaluated the therapeutic effects of acupuncture treatment. According to our results, sleep disorders are associated with several brain regions and neurotransmitters. Furthermore, this review showed that neurological processes, such as catecholamine and BDNF signaling pathways, can be regulated by acupuncture, which is a crucial aspect of the acupuncture mechanism in sleep disorders.

Abstract
Background Shift work and irregular work schedules among first responders have been associated with physical and psychological problems such as sleep disorders. We conducted the first meta-analysis to explore and estimate the prevalence of sleep disorders among first responders for medical emergencies. Methods We searched four databases: Web of Science, Psych Info, CINAHL, and PubMed. The Generalized Linear Mixed model (GLMM) was used to estimate the prevalence estimates of sleep disorders in R software and the DerSimonian-Lard random-effects model in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis was used to explore associated comorbidities for OSA and insomnia, presented as odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs). The Cochran's Q, τ2, and the statistics were used to assess heterogeneity and the moderator analysis was conducted to identify moderator variables. Results Twenty-eight studies with 100 080 first responders were included from the total of 1119 studies retrieved from the databases. The prevalence rates for sleep disorders were 31% (95% CI = 15%-53%) for shift work disorder (SWD), 30% (95% CI = 18%-46%) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 28% (95% CI = 19%-39%) for insomnia, 28% (95% CI = 24%-33%) for excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), 2% (95% CI = 1%-4%) for restless leg syndrome, and 1% (95% CI = 0%-5%) for narcolepsy. Anxiety (OR = 2.46; 95% CI = 1.99%-3.03%), cardiovascular disease (CVD) (OR = 2.03; 95% CI = 1.43-2.88), diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR = 1.93; 95% CI = 1.41-2.65), depression (OR = 1.89; 95% CI = 1.01-3.56), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (OR = 1.83; 95% CI = 150-2.22), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (OR = 1.78; 95% CI = 1.33-2.39) were associated with OSA. Depression (OR = 9.74; 95% CI = 4.67-20.3), anxiety (OR = 9.22; 95% CI = 3.81-22.3), and PTSD (OR = 7.13; 95% CI = 6.27-8.10) were associated with insomnia. Age, gender, first responders, continent, study quality, study design, and assessment tool were significant moderator variables for OSA, insomnia, and EDS. Conclusions This meta-analysis found a substantially high prevalence of sleep disorders including SWD, OSA, insomnia, and EDS among first responders for medical emergencies. Early assessment and management of sleep disorders among first responders is necessary to promote good, quality sleep to help prevent anxiety, depression, CVD, DM, GERD, and PTSD.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Daily Life, Physical Exercise, and General Health among Older People with Type 2 Diabetes: A Qualitative Interview Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19073986.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant alterations to and implications for the lives of millions of people, and especially for those with pre-existing medical conditions. The aim of this study was to explore the lived experience of older people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) throughout the first 9 months of the pandemic, with emphasis on the habits of physical exercise. We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. The data consist of telephone interviews of seventeen older people with T2DM (10 women and 7 men, aged 62–76 years). Using thematic analysis, five themes were generated: (1) an altered social and relational life; (2) changes in routine and attitude regarding physical activity behaviour; (3) home-related activities gained relevance; (4) health and well-being impact and management; and (5) thoughts about the post-pandemic period. The increase in the number of cases and the fear of becoming infected with COVID-19 limited the social (i.e., contact with family and/or friends) and functional (i.e., daily routine, the habit of exercising) lives of these people, reverberating negatively on their health and well-being. Feelings of isolation, loneliness, anxiety were common. The findings of this study help to better understand the impact of the pandemic and determine areas of need for future interventions. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to provide support for older people with T2DM and tackle the negative effect of the pandemic, including the reduction in physical activity.

Abstract
Sleep disorders are diagnosed in sleep laboratories by polysomnography, a multi-parameter examination that monitors biological signals during sleep. The subsequent evaluation of the obtained records is very time-consuming. The goal of this study was to create an automatic system for evaluation of the airflow and SpO2 channels of polysomnography records, through the use of machine learning techniques and a large database, for apnea and desaturation detection (which is unusual in other studies). To that end, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was designed using hyperparameter optimization. It was then trained and tested for apnea and desaturation. The proposed CNN was compared with the commonly used k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) method. The classifiers were designed based on nasal airflow and blood oxygen saturation signals. The final neural network accuracy for apnea detection reached 84%, and that for desaturation detection was 74%, while the k-NN classifier reached accuracies of 83% and 64% for apnea detection and desaturation detection, respectively.

Differential Effect of Light and Dark Period Sleep Fragmentation on Composition of Gut Microbiome and Inflammation in Mice. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11121283.

Abstract
Bi-directional interactions amongst the gut microbiota, immune system, and brain function are thought to be critical mediators of health and disease. The role sleep plays in mediating these interactions is not known. We assessed the effects of sleep fragmentation (SF) on the microbiota–gut–brain axis. Male C57BL/6NCrl mice (4 to 5 per cage, fed standard lab chow) experienced SF via mechanical stimulation at 2 min intervals during the light (SF) and dark (DD, dark disturbances) periods. Home cage (HC) controls were undisturbed. After 10 days, fecal samples were collected at light onset, midday, light offset, and midnight. Samples were also collected after 10 days without SF. Subsequently, the mice were randomized across groups and allowed 20 additional days of recovery followed by 10 days of SF or DD. To assess effects on the microbiota, 16S rRNA sequencing was used, and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and cortex and medial prefrontal cortex were analyzed using cytokine arrays. SF and DD produced significant alterations in the microbiota compared to HC, and DD had greater impact than SF on some organisms. SF produced marked suppression in MLNs of chemokines that regulate inflammation (CCL3, CCL4 and their receptor CCR5) and maintain the immune mucosal barrier (Cxcl13) at the same time that cortical cytokines (IL-33) indicated neuroinflammation. DD effects on immune responses were similar to HC. These data suggest that SF alters the microbiome and suppresses mucosal immunity at the same time that mediators of brain inflammation are upregulated. The translational implications for potential application to clinical care are compelling.

Abstract
Objectives Resistance training (RT) is a promising strategy to slow or prevent fluid cognitive decline during aging. However, the effects of strength-specific RT programs have received little attention. The purpose of this single-group proof of concept clinical trial was to determine whether a 12-week strength training (ST) program could improve fluid cognition in healthy older adults 60 to 80 years of age, and to explore concomitant physiological and psychological changes. Methods Twenty participants (69.1 ± 5.8 years, 14 women) completed this study with no drop-outs or severe adverse events. Baseline assessments were completed before an initial 12-week control period, then participants were re-tested at pre-intervention and after the 12-week ST intervention. The NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery and standard physical and psychological measures were administered at all three time points. During the 36 sessions of periodized ST (3 sessions per week), participants were supervised by an exercise specialist and challenged via autoregulatory load progression. Results Test-retest reliability over the control period was good for fluid cognition and excellent for crystallized cognition. Fluid composite scores significantly increased from pre- to post-intervention (8.2 ± 6.1%, p < 0.01, d = 1.27), while crystallized composite scores did not (-0.5 ± 2.8%, p = 0.46, d = -0.34). Performance on individual fluid instruments, including executive function, attention, working memory, and processing speed, also significantly improved. Surprisingly, changes in fluid composite scores had small negative correlations with changes in muscular strength and sleep quality, but a small positive correlation with changes in muscular power. Conclusions Thus, improvements in fluid cognition can be safely achieved in older adults using a 12-week high-intensity ST program, but further controlled studies are needed to confirm these findings. Furthermore, the relationship with other widespread physiological and psychological benefits remains unclear.

Linssen B, Bergman E, Klarenbeek P, Hoff E. Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea at an outpatient memory clinic. Health Sci Rep 2021; 4:e228. [PMID: 33474502 PMCID: PMC7803350 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.228] [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: 09/06/2020] [Revised: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 12/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that has several health hazards, including cognitive dysfunction. Studies have thus far primarily focussed on the prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients diagnosed with OSA at sleep clinics. The present study aims to investigate the prevalence of OSA at an outpatient memory clinic. METHODS A dataset of patients who visited our memory clinic in the period from June 2015 to September 2019 was retrospectively examined for the presence of OSA. The primary outcome measure was the prevalence of OSA, subdivided into three cognitive syndrome diagnosis groups: subjective cognitive complaints (SCC), mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Secondary outcome measures included age, education level, body mass index, substance use, depression and OSA criteria. RESULTS Of the 885 patients included in this study, 153 patients had already been or were diagnosed with OSA (17.3%). The percentage of OSA in the SCC group was significantly higher compared with the dementia group (26.7% vs 8.0%; OR 3.83 [95%CI 2.43-5.99]). Age differed significantly between the SCC group and the dementia group: 63.5 vs 71.5 years (7.6 ± 1.810; P < .001). Higher education level was associated with a lower prevalence of dementia compared to SCC (OR 0.068[95%CI 0.008-0.588]). Severity parameters of OSA did not show significant differences across the various cognitive syndrome diagnosis groups. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of OSA at our outpatient memory clinic is generally high. Especially in patients with SCC. We would therefore advocate screening for OSA at memory clinics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a multi-channel device event segmentation and feature extraction algorithm that is robust to changes in data distribution. METHODS We introduce an adaptive transfer learning algorithm to classify and segment events from non-stationary multi-channel temporal data. Using a multivariate hidden Markov model (HMM) and Fisher's linear discriminant analysis (FLDA) the algorithm adaptively adjusts to shifts in distribution over time. The proposed algorithm is unsupervised and learns to label events without requiring a priori information about true event states. The procedure is illustrated on experimental data collected from a cohort in a human viral challenge (HVC) study, where certain subjects have disrupted wake and sleep patterns after exposure to an H1N1 influenza pathogen. RESULTS Simulations establish that the proposed adaptive algorithm significantly outperforms other event classification methods. When applied to early time points in the HVC data, the algorithm extracts sleep/wake features that are predictive of both infection and infection onset time. CONCLUSION The proposed transfer learning event segmentation method is robust to temporal shifts in data distribution and can be used to produce highly discriminative event-labeled features for health monitoring. SIGNIFICANCE Our integrated multisensor signal processing and transfer learning method is applicable to many ambulatory monitoring applications.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), a state of sleep disorder, is characterized by repetitive apnea, chronic hypoxia, oxygen desaturation, and hypercapnia. Previous studies have revealed that intermittent hypoxia (IH) conditions in OSAS patients elicited neuron injury (especially in the hippocampus and cortex), leading to cognitive dysfunction, a significant and extraordinary complication of OSAS patients. The repeated courses of airway collapse and obstruction in OSAS patients resulted in apnea and arousal during sleep, leading to IH and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and subsequently contributing to the development of inflammation. IH-mediated inflammation could further trigger various types of cognitive dysfunction. Many researchers have found that, besides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment and surgery, anti-inflammatory substances might alleviate IH-induced neurocognitive dysfunction. Clarifying the role of inflammation in IH-mediated cognitive impairment is crucial for potentially valuable therapies and future research in the related domain. The objective of this article was to critically review the relationship between inflammation and cognitive deficits in OSAS.

Abstract
The prevalence of dementia and other age-associated cognitive disorders is steadily increasing worldwide. With no cure after diagnosis, successful treatment likely requires maximum adherence to preventative countermeasures. Many potential risk factors are modifiable through exercise. Specifically, mounting evidence suggests that long-term resistance training (RT) can help maintain cognitive abilities with aging and have additional benefits to overall brain health. Physical therapists are uniquely positioned to administer such clinical interventions designed to slow disease progression. However, a neuroscientific foundation for these benefits must be established to justify the integration of RT for brain health into practice. The mechanisms of cognitive decline are commonly linked to fundamental processes of aging. Even healthy older adults experience decreases in physical capacity, vascular function, brain structure and function, glucose regulation, inflammation, mood, and sleep quality. Yet, clinical trials involving RT in older adults have consistently demonstrated improvements in each of these systems with concomitant enhancement of cognitive performance. Beneficial adaptations may indirectly or directly mediate benefits to brain function, and understanding this relationship can help us develop optimal intervention strategies for the aging population.

Abstract
Sleep is universal across species and essential for quality of life and health, as evidenced by the consequences of sleep loss. Sleep might homeostatically normalize synaptic gains made over wake states in order to reset information processing and storage and support learning, and sleep-associated synaptic (ultra)structural changes have been demonstrated recently. However, causal relationships between the molecular and (ultra)structural status of synapses, sleep homeostatic regulation, and learning processes have yet to be established. We show here that the status of the presynaptic active zone can directly control sleep in Drosophila. Short sleep mutants showed a brain-wide upregulation of core presynaptic scaffold proteins and release factors. Increasing the gene copy number of ELKS-family scaffold master organizer Bruchpilot (BRP) not only mimicked changes in the active zone scaffold and release proteins but importantly provoked sleep in a dosage-dependent manner, qualitatively and quantitatively reminiscent of sleep deprivation effects. Conversely, reducing the brp copy number decreased sleep in short sleep mutant backgrounds, suggesting a specific role of the active zone plasticity in homeostatic sleep regulation. Finally, elimination of BRP specifically in the sleep-promoting R2 neurons of 4xBRP animals partially restored sleep patterns and rescued learning deficits. Our results suggest that the presynaptic active zone plasticity driven by BRP operates as a sleep homeostatic actuator that also restricts periods of effective learning.

The Relationship between the Number of Daily Health-Related Behavioral Risk Factors and Sleep Health of the Elderly in China. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:ijerph16244905.

Abstract
This study examined the cross-sectional association among a number of daily health-related behavioral risk factors and sleep among Chinese elderly. A sample of 4993 adults, aged 60 years and older, from the China’s Health-Related Quality of Life Survey for Older Adults 2018 was included in this study. Five daily health-related behaviors, which included smoking, drinking, unhealthy eating habits, insufficient leisure activities, and physical inactivity were measured. Sleep disturbances and sleep quality were used to represent the respondents’ sleep status. Multiple logistic regression models and multiple linear regression models were established. The odds ratios (ORs) of sleep disturbances for those with one to five health-related risk behaviors were 1.41 (95% CI = 1.11 to 1.78), 2.09 (95% CI = 1.66 to 2.63), 2.54 (95% CI = 1.99 to 3.25), 2.12 (95% CI = 1.60 to 2.80), and 2.49 (95% CI = 1.70 to 3.65), respectively. Individuals with one health-related risk behavior (B = 0.14, 95% CI = −0.23 to −0.06), two health-related risk behaviors (B = 0.21, 95% CI = −0.30 to −0.13), three health-related risk behaviors (B = 0.46, 95% CI = −0.55 to −0.37), four health-related risk behaviors (B = 0.50, 95% CI = −0.62 to −0.39), and five health-related risk behaviors (B = 0.83, 95% CI = −1.00 to −0.66) showed lower scores of self-perceived sleep quality. Having multiple health-risk behaviors was positively correlated with a higher risk of sleep disturbances among Chinese elderly. Moreover, elderly individuals with multiple health-related risk behaviors were significantly associated with poorer sleep quality.

Abstract
The sufficient length and good quality of night sleep play a vital role in maintaining health, well-being and effective functioning. Nevertheless, an increase in the prevalence of sleep deprivation can be observed recently. The concept of bedtime procrastination, defined as going to bed later than intended, has been proposed to explain one of the psychological determinants of sleep deficiency. To investigate the prevalence of bedtime procrastination among Poles we carried out a Polish adaptation of the Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS), a self-report questionnaire for measuring the tendency to voluntarily postpone going to bed in the absence of any external circumstances for doing so. The aim of the research was to determine the main psychometric properties of the Polish version of the BPS. We also aimed to identify the relationships between bedtime procrastination and selected demographic variables in the Polish sample, and to examine the impact of bedtime procrastination on self-reported sleep outcomes. The data obtained from online surveys conducted on two Polish samples were analyzed, including demographic factors, self-reported sleep outcomes, and responses to items of the BPS. The Polish version of the BPS has a unifactorial structure like the original version. It also exhibits satisfactory internal consistency and moderate temporal stability in a 10-week retest study. BPS scores were not significantly related to the place of residence, the highest completed level of education, living with a spouse or partner, and living with children. Scores in BPS slightly decreased with age and females scored higher on BPS than males. Higher BPS scores were obtained for a group of students in comparison to a group of subjects who were not students, and lower BPS scores were found in working respondents in comparison to respondents who were not working. BPS scores correlate negatively with sleep length on workdays and a feeling of sleep sufficiency, and positively with sleep length on weekdays relative to workdays, sleeping later than one would like, and a feeling of fatigue. Several relationships between self-reported sleep outcomes and demographic variables were also identified.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Neuropsychiatric symptoms have been reported in people living with HIV (PLWH) on integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) in postmarketing analysis. Limited data exist regarding brain integrity (function and structure) in PLWH prescribed INSTIs compared with other HIV treatment regimens. DESIGN A cross-sectional analysis of PLWH on combined antiretroviral therapy aged more than 18 years at a single institution. METHODS Neuropsychological tests were administered to calculate domain deficit scores in learning/memory, executive function and motor/psychomotor domains. Cortical and subcortical volumes from MRI were obtained using the FreeSurfer software suite (v5.3). RESULTS Of 202 participants, median age 55 (48, 60) years old, 49% were on INSTI-based combined antiretroviral therapy. PLWH on INSTIs were similar to individuals on non-INSTIs in terms of age, sex, race, education years, smoking history, depression scores, psychiatric medication use, presence of hepatitis C infection, history of substance use, HIV infection duration and recent or nadir CD4 T-cell count. Participants in the INSTI group performed worse than non-INSTI users in the verbal learning and memory domain [1.5 (interquartile range 0, 2.5) versus 1 (0, 2); P = 0.016]. The INSTI and non-INSTI groups were similar for other cognitive domains. Frontal, brain stem and cerebellar volumes were reduced in INSTI compared with non-INSTI users (all P = <0.05). CONCLUSION We demonstrated modest differences in learning/memory performance and smaller brain volumes in PLWH on INSTI-based regimens compared with non-INSTI users. Prospective studies are needed to define mechanisms and the clinical significance of reduced brain integrity in PLWH on INSTIs.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Sleep deprivation (SD) causes deficit of cognition, but the mechanisms remain to be fully established. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an important role in the formation of cognition, while excessive and prolonged autophagy in hippocampus triggers cognitive disorder. In this work, we proposed that disturbances in hippocampal endogenous H2S generation and autophagy might be involved in SD-induced cognitive impairment. Methods: After treatment of adult male wistar rats with 72-h SD, the Y-maze test, object location test (OLT), novel object recognition test (NORT) and the Morris water maze (MWM) test were performed to determine the cognitive function. The autophagosome formation was observed with electron microscope. Generation of endogenous H2S in the hippocampus of rats was detected using unisense H2S microsensor method. The expressions of cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST), beclin-1, light chain LC3 II/LC3 I, and p62 in the hippocampus were assessed by western blotting. Results: The Y-maze, OLT, NORT, and MWM test demonstrated that SD-exposed rats exhibited cognitive dysfunction. SD triggered the elevation of hippocampal autophagy as evidenced by enhancement of autophagosome, up-regulations of beclin-1 and LC3 II/LC3 I, and down-regulation of p62. Meanwhile, the generation of endogenous H2S and the expressions of CBS and 3-MST (H2S producing enzyme) in the hippocampus of SD-treated rats were reduced. Conclusion: These results suggested that inhibition of endogenous H2S generation and excessiveness of autophagy in hippocampus are involved in SD-induced cognitive impairment.

Abstract
We analyzed data from a cohort of recently deployed soldiers from 2 US Army bases, Fort Carson and Fort Bragg (2009 to 2015). Soldiers with and without a recent history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) on deployment were evaluated within days of return and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Those with mTBI were more likely than those without to endorse ≥1 postconcussive symptom as "severe" and/or "very severe" (47% vs. 21%, baseline; adjusted relative risk (RR) = 1.71, 95% confidence interval: 1.51, 1.93, all time points), which remained significant after adjusting for posttraumatic stress disorder (adjusted RR = 1.34, 95% confidence interval: 1.20, 1.50). Prevalence and relative risks for 3 of the most common baseline symptoms remained constant over time: sleep problems (RR = 2.19), forgetfulness (RR = 2.56), and irritability (RR = 2.73). The pattern was slightly different for headache (baseline, RR = 3.44; 12 months, RR = 3.26), due to increased prevalence of headache in those without mTBI. The prevalence of clinically relevant postconcussive symptoms remained relatively constant over 1 year of follow-up, whether or not symptoms were associated with concussion. Service members with recent mTBI reported more symptoms than those without at all time points.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is associated with increased memory problems although the ability to complete daily life activities remains relatively intact. This study examined: (1) if sleep disturbance increased the hazard of MCI; (2) if APOE e4 carriers with sleep disturbance experience an increased risk of MCI; and, (3) if prescription sleep medications provide a protective effect against MCI. We hypothesized that sleep disturbance increases the hazard of MCI, this relationship is stronger among APOE e4 carriers reporting a sleep disturbance. Furthermore, we hypothesized that sleep medications decrease the hazard of MCI. METHODS To determine whether sleep medication mediates the risk of developing MCI for individuals with sleep disturbance and/or APOE e4, we analyzed the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Uniform Data Set. We selected participants with normal cognition at baseline (n = 6798), and conduced survival analyses. RESULTS Our main findings indicated that the hazard of MCI was significantly associated with sleep disturbance. The hazard remained among those who did not use sleep medication. Trazodone and zolpidem users did not have a significant hazard of MCI, but the significant hazard remained for those who did not use these medications. APOE e4 carriers had a significantly higher hazard of MCI. Among e4 carriers who used trazodone or zolpidem, there was not a statistically significant risk of MCI. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the potential utilization of trazodone and zolpidem in the treatment of sleep disturbance while potentially mitigating the risk of MCI. While trazodone and zolpidem have been shown to positively impact sleep disturbance in individuals with normal cognition, further research should explore these findings given that these medications are potentially inappropriate for older adults.

Abstract
Objective Multimodal non-pharmacological interventions have been argued to
have the potential to complement current pharmacological
approaches to improving quality of life for people living with
dementia. The aim of this review was to identify, synthesise and
appraise the evidence for the effectiveness of multimodal
non-pharmacological interventions for improving cognitive
function specifically. Method After a comprehensive search strategy including grey literature, 26
studies were reviewed. The inclusion criteria concerned adults
with a primary diagnosis of dementia. Studies used two or more
different modes of intervention, and measured a cognitive
outcome. Due to differences in the conceptualisations of the
term ‘multimodal’, a typology of modes and methods was developed
to facilitate classification of candidate studies. Results Twenty-one group studies and five case studies were found. Group
studies used two or three modes of intervention and multiple
methods to implement them. Interventions utilised were
cognitive, physical, psychological and psychosocial, nutrition,
fasting, gut health, sleep hygiene, stress reduction,
detoxification, hormonal health and oxygen therapy. Five
individual case studies were found in two separate papers. Each
personalised patient treatment utilised in-depth assessments and
prescribed up to nine different modes. In 19 (90%) of the 21
group comparisons, participants were reported to have cognitive
improvements, stability with their dementia or a delay in their
decline. The extent of these improvements in terms of meaningful
clinical change was variable. Conclusion Multimodal non-pharmacological interventions have the potential to
complement singular therapeutic approaches by addressing
multiple modifiable risk factors currently understood to
contribute towards cognitive decline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the relationship between close proximity to detonated blast munitions and cognitive functioning in OEF/OIF/OND Veterans. METHODS A total of 333 participants completed a comprehensive evaluation that included assessment of neuropsychological functions, psychiatric diagnoses and history of military and non-military brain injury. Participants were assigned to a Close-Range Blast Exposure (CBE) or Non-Close-Range Blast Exposure (nonCBE) group based on whether they had reported being exposed to at least one blast within 10 meters. RESULTS Groups were compared on principal component scores representing the domains of memory, verbal fluency, and complex attention (empirically derived from a battery of standardized cognitive tests), after adjusting for age, education, PTSD diagnosis, sleep quality, substance abuse disorder, and pain. The CBE group showed poorer performance on the memory component. Rates of clinical impairment were significantly higher in the CBE group on select CVLT-II indices. Exploratory analyses examined the effects of concussion and multiple blasts on test performance and revealed that number of lifetime concussions did not contribute to memory performance. However, accumulating blast exposures at distances greater than 10 meters did contribute to poorer performance. CONCLUSIONS Close proximity to detonated blast munitions may impact memory, and Veterans exposed to close-range blast are more likely to demonstrate clinically meaningful deficits. These findings were observed after statistically adjusting for comorbid factors. Results suggest that proximity to blast should be considered when assessing for memory deficits in returning Veterans. Comorbid psychiatric factors may not entirely account for cognitive difficulties. (JINS, 2018, 24, 466-475).

Abstract
Sleep deprivation (SD) negatively caused cognitive deficit, which was associated with oxidative stress induced damage. Ginsenoside Rh2 had the ability to protect against damage caused by reactive oxygen species in vitro, showing antioxidant property. Therefore, it was hypothesized that Ginsenoside Rh2 could prevent SD-induced cognitive deficit via its antioxidant properties. In this study, the effect of Ginsenoside Rh2 on memory impairment induced by sleep deprivation was investigated. The mice were sleep deprived continuously for 14 days using our self-made Sleep Interruption Apparatus (SIA). Ginsenoside Rh2 was administered intraperitoneally at two doses (20 and 40 μmol/kg) for 20 days. Thereafter, behavioral studies were conducted to test the learning and memory ability using object location recognition (OLR) experiment and passive avoidance (PA) test. Additionally, the oxidative stress parameters in the serum and the brain tissues (cortex and hippocampus) were assessed, including the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity, the total antioxidant reactivity (TAR), the malondialdehyde (MDA) level, the glutathione (GSH) level, and the lipid peroxidation (LPO) content. The results revealed that SD impaired both spatial and non-spatial memory (P < 0.05). Treatment with Ginsenoside Rh2 at both doses prevented memory impairment induced by SD. Moreover, Ginsenoside Rh2 normalized the reduction of SOD and TAR activities in the serum (P < 0.01) and the decrease of GSH content in both the cortex and hippocampus (P < 0.05) induced by SD. Furthermore, Ginsenoside Rh2 significantly decreased the MDA level in the serum (P < 0.05) and the LPO content in both the cortex and hippocampus (P < 0.05) compared to SD group. In conclusion, sleep deprivation impaired both spatial and non-spatial memory and Ginsenoside Rh2 reversed this impairment, probably by preventing the oxidative stress damage in the body, including the serum and brain during sleep deprivation.

Abstract
Background Studies on social capital and health outcomes have become common, but the relationship between neighborhood social capital and sleep duration by gender is still unclear. We examined the relationship between neighborhood social capital and sleep duration by gender in adults living in a rural community in Japan. Method We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 12,321 residents aged ≥20 years in a town in Mie Prefecture in January–March 2013. Self-completed questionnaires were collected from the residents (n = 7782; valid participation rate, 63.2%). We used five items to assess the neighborhood social capital (Cronbach’s α = 0.86). We summed up the scores of each item, and then divided the participants into four groups by quartile of total scores of neighborhood social capital (lowest, low, high, and highest). Sleep duration of < 7 h/day was defined as insufficient sleep duration according to previous studies. To adjust for potential confounders, we performed a multiple log-binominal regression analysis and estimated the prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for insufficient sleep. Results Overall 42% of the men and 45% of the women had insufficient sleep. In the men, the lowest group of neighborhood social capital presented a 22% higher prevalence of insufficient sleep (PR 1.22; 95% CIs 1.08–1.38) compared to the highest group of neighborhood social capital. Similarly the low group of neighborhood social capital and the high group of neighborhood social capital had 20 and 19% higher prevalence of insufficient sleep (PR 1.20; 95% CIs 1.06–1.36; PR 1.19; 95% CIs 1.06–1.34, respectively) compared to the highest group of neighborhood social capital. For women there was no significant association between neighborhood social capital and insufficient sleep after controlling for all potential confounders. Conclusion Having lower neighborhood social capital was associated with insufficient sleep among Japanese adults, particularly in the men. This suggests that the context of neighborhood social capital by gender should be considered to promote healthier behaviors with regard to getting enough sleep.

Abstract
Sleep disorders appear to be frequent comorbidities in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness commonly occur in patients with FTD and significantly contribute to caregiver burden and burnout. Sleep is severely fragmented in FTD patients, likely secondary to behavioral disturbances, other primary sleep disorders such as sleep disordered breathing and restless leg syndrome, and neurodegeneration of nuclei involved in sleep and wakefulness. Treatment of primary sleep disorders may improve excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep quality and may improve daytime cognitive functioning. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder is rare in FTD and may be confused with excessive nocturnal activity due to disturbed circadian rhythm. The relationship between FTD, sleep quality, and sleep disorders requires further study to better understand the contribution of disturbed sleep to daytime neurocognitive functioning and quality of life in FTD. Further, future studies should focus on comparing sleep disturbances between different FTD syndromes, especially behavioral variant FTD and primary progressive aphasia. Comorbid sleep disorders should be promptly sought and treated in patients with FTD to improve patient and caregiver quality of life.

Abstract
Background An enriched environment for residents with dementia may have a positive effect on the rest-activity rhythm. A small scaled homelike special care unit might be such an enriched environment. The present study shows whether the rest-activity rhythm of residents with moderate to severe dementia responds positively to a transfer from a regular Special Care Unit (SCU) to a small scaled homelike SCU. Methods Initially, a group of 145 residents living in a regular SCU participated. Out of this group, 77 residents moved to a small scaled homelike SCU. This group was compared to the group of 68 residents that remained at the regular SCU. Rest-activity rhythm was assessed by means of actigraphy and observation scales before and after relocation. Results No significant main effects nor significant interaction effects in intradaily and interdaily activity were found for the data of 38 residents in the small scaled homelike SCU and 20 residents of the regular SCU. The effect sizes, however, ranged from small to large. Conclusions Considering the effect sizes, a new study with a larger number of participants is necessary before firm conclusions can be drawn.

Abstract
It has been known that RA, one of major constituents of Perilla frutescens which has been used as a traditional folk remedy for sedation in oriental countries, shows the anxiolytic-like and sedative effects. This study was performed to know whether RA may enhance pentobarbital-induced sleep through γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A-ergic systems in rodents. RA (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/ kg, p.o.) reduced the locomotor activity in mice. RA decreased sleep latency and increased the total sleep time in pentobarbital (42 mg/kg, i.p.)-induced sleeping mice. RA also increased sleeping time and number of falling sleep mice after treatment with sub-hypnotic pentobarbital (28 mg/kg, i.p.). In electroencephalogram (EEG) recording, RA (2.0 mg/kg) not only decreased the counts of sleep/wake cycles and REM sleep, but also increased the total and NREM sleep in rats. The power density of NREM sleep showed the increase in δ-waves and the decrease in α-waves. On the other hand, RA (0.1, 1.0 and 10 μg/ml) increased intracellular Cl- influx in the primary cultured hypothalamic cells of rats. RA (p.o.) increased the protein expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65/67) and GABAA receptors subunits except β1 subunit. In conclusion, RA augmented pentobarbital-induced sleeping behaviors through GABAA-ergic transmission. Thus, it is suggested that RA may be useful for the treatment of insomnia.

Abstract
Sleep disorders and neurologic illness are common and burdensome in their own right; when combined, they can have tremendous negative impact at an individual level as well as societally. The socioeconomic burden of sleep disorders and neurologic illness can be identified, but the real cost of these conditions lies far beyond the financial realm. There is an urgent need for comprehensive care and support systems to help with the burden of disease. Further research in improving patient outcomes in those who suffer with these conditions will help patients and their families, and society in general.

Abstract
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB or XyremR) is frequently used in humans for several clinical indications, including anesthesia, narcolepsy/cataplexy, and alcohol-withdrawal symptoms. Pharmacological effects induced in the brain by therapeutic doses of XyremR are generally GABAergic-dependent. These effects allow sedation, stress/anxiety reduction, deep sleep induction, decrease of neuroinflammation, and neuroprotection. Furthermore, XyremR promotes the expression of pivotal genes reducing toxic proteinopathies, as demonstrated in laboratory animal models. Altogether, these data represent additional evidence to suggest that XyremR may be tested during repeated short periods in populations at risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
