We examined the effects of low-dose oral risperidone (RIS) on nocturnal sleep in healthy participants. This study was performed in a placebo-controlled manner in 10 healthy male volunteers (mean age, 23.6 years), with administration of 0.5 mg of RIS oral solution or a placebo in the morning or evening for 2 consecutive days. Each night, polysomnography (PSG) was performed, and PSG data during non-rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep were processed by power spectral analysis. An evening administration of 0.5 mg RIS significantly increased total sleep time, sleep efficiency and sleep stage 3, and significantly decreased total waking time and waking after sleep onset (P < 0.05). A morning administration of 0.5 mg RIS significantly increased sleep stage 3 (P < 0.05). According to power spectral analysis, the evening administration of RIS significantly increased the theta power (P < 0.05) and decreased the beta power (P < 0.05) during non-REM sleep. The administration of 0.5 mg oral RIS increases sleep stage 3 and increases total sleep time following evening administration. 相似文献

Sleep related bruxism (SB) is the grinding of teeth during sleep and may also be associated with various sleep disorders. However, little is known about sleep structures and disturbances of SB. This study aims to further understand sleep architectures using overnight polysomnography (PSG) in patients with SB. We analyze sleep parameters and architectures in 33 healthy subjects and 25 patients with SB. PSG and sleep questionnaires measured sleep variables including proportions of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, non-REM sleep (N1, N2 and N3), latency to sleep onset, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset (WASO), apnea hypopnea index (AHI), respiratory disturbance index (RDI), and periodic limb movement index (PLMI) during sleep for both groups. Sleep efficiency and the proportion of N3 in the SB group were significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). In addition latency to onset of sleep and WASO were markedly increased in the SB group (P < 0.05). AHI, RDI, and PLMI showed no differences between the groups. Epworth Sleepiness Scale was significantly higher in the SB group than in the control group (P < 0.05). In contrast to previous studies, we conclude that patients with SB are not good sleepers based on PSG study. Further studies are required to assess the relationship between sleep quality and the severity of SB. 相似文献

In four of six subjects with narcolepsy, multiple sleep latency tests-examined disconjugated binocular eye movements were observed in the very beginning of multiple sleep latency test recordings. The eye movements appeared before disappearance of alpha and decrease of chin electromyography. All subjects with disconjugated eye movements had also rapid eye movement sleep without atonia and symptoms of rapid eye movement behavior disorder in their past history. Three of them (all children) had post-vaccination narcolepsy. It is not known whether such eye movements are seen in most narcoleptic subjects or whether they are more common in autoimmune/inflammatory narcolepsy with involvement of the structures that coordinate eye movements. 相似文献

We evaluated the performance of a consumer multi-sensory wristband (Fitbit Charge 2?), against polysomnography (PSG) in measuring sleep/wake state and sleep stage composition in healthy adults.In-lab PSG and Fitbit Charge 2? data were obtained from a single overnight recording at the SRI Human Sleep Research Laboratory in 44 adults (19—61 years; 26 women; 25 Caucasian). Participants were screened to be free from mental and medical conditions. Presence of sleep disorders was evaluated with clinical PSG. PSG findings indicated periodic limb movement of sleep (PLMS, > 15/h) in nine participants, who were analyzed separately from the main group ( n = 35). PSG and Fitbit Charge 2? sleep data were compared using paired t-tests, Bland–Altman plots, and epoch-by-epoch (EBE) analysis.In the main group, Fitbit Charge 2? showed 0.96 sensitivity (accuracy to detect sleep), 0.61 specificity (accuracy to detect wake), 0.81 accuracy in detecting N1+N2 sleep (“light sleep”), 0.49 accuracy in detecting N3 sleep (“deep sleep”), and 0.74 accuracy in detecting rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep. Fitbit Charge 2? significantly ( p < 0.05) overestimated PSG TST by 9 min, N1+N2 sleep by 34 min, and underestimated PSG SOL by 4 min and N3 sleep by 24 min. PSG and Fitbit Charge 2? outcomes did not differ for WASO and time spent in REM sleep. No more than two participants fell outside the Bland–Altman agreement limits for all sleep measures. Fitbit Charge 2? correctly identified 82% of PSG-defined non-REM–REM sleep cycles across the night. Similar outcomes were found for the PLMS group.Fitbit Charge 2? shows promise in detecting sleep-wake states and sleep stage composition relative to gold standard PSG, particularly in the estimation of REM sleep, but with limitations in N3 detection. Fitbit Charge 2? accuracy and reliability need to be further investigated in different settings (at-home, multiple nights) and in different populations in which sleep composition is known to vary (adolescents, elderly, patients with sleep disorders). 相似文献

ABSTRACTSocial jetlag has recently attracted attention as the circadian misalignment between biological and social clocks. We aimed to examine social jetlag and its effect on daytime sleepiness and daily functions in patients with narcolepsy, behaviorally induced insufficient sleep syndrome (BIISS) and delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSPD). The levels of social jetlag (SJL mid) and sleep-corrected social jetlag (SJL sc) were calculated for each patient, and the effect of these social jetlag-related parameters on daytime sleepiness and daily functions were examined. Objective sleepiness measured by the mean sleep latency in the multiple sleep latency test, subjective sleepiness assessed by the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessed by the SF-8 health survey, and incidences of mistakes in daily activities, traffic accidents and near-miss events related to daytime sleepiness were compared among the narcolepsy ( n = 39), BIISS ( n = 87) and DSPD ( n = 28) groups. Both SJL mid and SJL sc showed a negative correlation with physical HRQoL in patients with narcolepsy and a positive correlation with the ESS score in patients with DSPD. In patients with BIISS, SJL sc reflected sleep loss rather than circadian misalignment; moreover, SJL sc was not associated with daytime sleepiness and daily functions. Social jetlag was not associated with incidences of mistakes in daily activities, traffic accidents and near-miss events.The state of social jetlag and its association with daily functions differed among the narcolepsy, BIISS and DSPD groups. Social jetlag represented sleep debt in BIISS, circadian misalignment in narcolepsy and both in DSPD. Our results thus show that the clinical manifestations and significance of social jetlag differ depending on the underlying sleep disorders. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of total nocturnal sleep time and siesta on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risks in chronic HBV infected individuals. This research was retrospective. A case–control study with 226 HCC patients and 375 controls enrolled was conducted. All subjects were chronic HBV infected. The total nocturnal sleep time and siesta or not were recorded by interview. We found that the total nocturnal sleep time and siesta were associated with the incidence of HCC (p < 0.001). The adjusted OR of HCC for the subjects with the shortest total nocturnal sleep time (≤ 6 hs) was 2.557 (p = 0.032), relative to those who slept between 6 and 8 h. The patients who slept ≥ 8 h experienced much lower risk. The adjusted OR of HCC for subjects with total nocturnal sleep time ≥ 8 h were 0.507 (p = 0.005) relative to those who slept 6–8 h. The subjects without siesta habit experienced a higher risk of HCC compared to those who with the siesta habit (adjusted OR 2.157, p = 0.001). These findings indicate that lack of nocturnal sleep is a potential risk factor for HCC in chronic HBV infected individuals whereas the siesta is a protective factor. 相似文献

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is closely associated with hypertension. Activity of angiotensin II (Ang II) and non-dipping nocturnal blood pressure (BP) variability are implicated in hypertension-related target organ damage. We examined the correlation between OSAS with serum Ang II levels and evaluated the risk of non-dipping BP variability in 180 patients with essential hypertension (EHT). Eligible patients were divided into three subgroups based on their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) evaluated by polysomnography. EHT alone, EHT with mild OSAS, and EHT with moderate/severe OSAS. Ambulatory BP monitoring was used to calculate mean BP over 24 h, as well as diurnal and nocturnal BP variability. Serum Ang II was determined with enzyme-linked immun-osorbent assay. EHT patients with OSAS had significantly higher systolic BP calculated either over 24 h, or by diurnal or nocturnal monitoring (P < 0.05). More EHT patients with OSAS showed non-dipping BP profiles than did EHT patients alone (P < 0.05). The number of patients with non-dipping BP increased with increasing OSAS severity. Surgical treatment alleviated OSAS and reduced AHI (P < 0.05). Preoperative serum Ang II in EHT patients with OSAS was significantly higher than that in those without OSAS (P < 0.05), and showed a rising trend with OSAS severity (P < 0.05). Postoperative serum Ang II, BP and the incidence of non-dipping BP were reduced by surgery to levels lower than preoperative values in patients with OSAS. We therefore conclude that OSAS leads to increased serum Ang II and increased risk of non-dipping BP in patients with EHT. 相似文献

AbstractPurpose:?Localized mechanical vibration, applied directly to a muscle, is known to have powerful, duration-dependent effects on the muscle spindle’s reflex arc. Here, the conditioning of the function of the spindle reflex arc via vibration was examined with considerations for use as a non-invasive, sensorimotor research tool. Methods:?Muscle spindle function was examined with patellar tendon taps prior to and following exposure to muscle vibration applied to the quadriceps femoris for acute (<5?s) and prolonged (20?min) durations. Surface electromyography (sEMG), torque, and accelerometry signals were obtained during the taps to quantify various measures of reflex magnitude and latency. Results:?Our findings suggest that acute vibration had no effect on normalized reflex torque or sEMG amplitude ( p?>?0.05), but increased total reflex latency ( p?=?0.022). Alternatively, prolonged vibration reduced normalized reflex torque and sEMG amplitude ( p?<?0.001), and increased reflex latency ( p?<?0.001). Conclusions:?Our findings support the use of prolonged vibration as a practical means to decrease the function of the muscle spindle’s reflex arc. Overall, this suppressive effect was evident in the majority of subjects, but the extent was variable. This approach could potentially be used to help delineate the muscle spindle’s role in various sensory or motor tasks in which more direct measures are not feasible. Acute vibration, however, did not potentiate muscle spindle function as hypothesized. Rather, our results suggest that acute vibration increased total reflex latency. Accordingly, potential mechanical and neurophysiological mechanisms are discussed. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of antioxidant vitamin supplementation upon muscle contractile function following eccentric exercise and was performed double blind. Twenty-four physically active young subjects ingested either placebo (400 mg; n = 8), vitamin E (400 mg; n=8) or vitamin C (400 mg; n = 8) for 21 days prior to and for 7 days after performing 60 min of box-stepping exercise. Contractile function of the triceps surae was assessed by the measurement of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and the ratio of the force generated at 20 Hz and 50 Hz tetanic stimulation before and after eccentric exercise and for 7 days during recovery. Following eccentric exercise, MVC decreased to 75 (4) % [mean (SE); n = 24; P < 0.05] of the preexercise values and the 20/50 Hz ratio of tetanic tension from 0.76 (0.01) to 0.49 (0.03) [mean (SE); n = 24; P<0.05). Compared to the placebo group no significant changes in MVC were observed immediately post-exercise, though recovery of MVC in the first 24 h post-exercise was greater in the group supplemented with vitamin C. The decrease in 20/50 Hz ratio of tetanic tension was significantly less ( P < 0.05) post-exercise and in the initial phase of recovery in subjects supplemented with vitamin C but not with vitamin E. These data suggest that prior vitamin C supplementation may exert a protective effect against eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage. 相似文献

Introduction. The beginning of the movement sequence from standing to sitting requires the modulation of plantar flexors activity, including the soleus muscle (SOL), to allow the forward translation of the tibia in relation to the foot, preserving its antigravity function. Purpose. To analyze the SOL activity during the initial phase of standing to sitting in stroke subjects. Methods. Two groups of ten subjects each participated in this study, one composed of healthy subjects and the other with subjects with a history of stroke. Electromyographic activity (EMGa) of SOL was analyzed in the ipsilateral (IPSI) and contralateral (CONTRA) limb to side lesion in stroke subjects, and in one limb in healthy subjects during the initial phase of standing to sitting. A force plate was used to identify the movement sequence phase. Results. The mean values of SOL EMGa were higher in healthy subjects than the ones obtained in the IPSI and CONTRA limb in stroke subjects. Significant differences were only observed between the IPSI and healthy limb ( p?=?0.035). Conclusion. When compared to the healthy subjects, stroke subjects showed a decreased SOL EMGa in the IPSI limb, which suggests that therapeutic decisions must consider the need to promote a better postural control also in the IPSI limb. 相似文献

In a cross‐sectional study design, we test the hypothesis whether childhood obesity is associated with reduced flow rate of stimulated whole saliva and dental caries. Obese adolescents ( n = 65) with a mean age of 14.5 years and normal weight subjects ( n = 65) with a mean age of 14.2 years were clinically examined with respect to dental caries, visible plaque accumulation (visible plaque index (VPI%)), gingival inflammation in terms of bleeding on probing (BOP%) as well as answered a questionnaire concerning medical history, medication, oral hygiene habits, smoking habits, and sociodemographic background. The flow rate of stimulated whole saliva (ml/min) was determined. BMI was calculated and adjusted for age and gender (BMI‐sds). The obese subjects exhibited higher number of decayed surfaces (DS), 0.7 vs. 0.1 ( P = 0.008) and lower flow rate of stimulated whole saliva 1.2 vs. 2.0 ml/min ( P < 0.001). Of obese patients, 17 subjects had VPI% >25 and 21 had BOP% >25, both compared to only 5 subjects of the normal weight with P values of 0.005 and <0.001, respectively. In a multivariate logistic regression model BMI‐sds was significantly associated with the flow rate of stimulated whole saliva less than the median value 1.5 ml/min ( P < 0.001; odds ratio (OR) 1.36) as well as with DS (DS >0) ( P = 0.002; OR 1.31) and the associations were not found to be confounded by any of the studied variables. The results indicate that childhood obesity is associated with reduced flow rate of stimulated whole saliva and dental caries and further strengthens obesity's negative effect on children's oral health. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to formulate an algorithm for assessing sleep/waking from activity intensities measured with a waist-worn actigraphy, the Lifecorder PLUS (LC; Suzuken Co. Ltd., Nagoya, Japan), and to test the validity of the algorithm. The study consisted of 31 healthy subjects (M/F = 20/11, mean age 31.7 years) who underwent one night of simultaneous measurement of activity intensity by LC and polysomnography (PSG). A sleep(S)/wake(W) scoring algorithm based on a linear model was determined through discriminant analysis of activity intensities measured by LC over a total of 235 h and 56 min and the corresponding PSG-based S/W data. The formulated S/W scoring algorithm was then used to score S/W during the monitoring epochs (2 min each, 7078 epochs in total) for each subject. The mean agreement rate with the corresponding PSG-based S/W data was 86.9%, with a mean sensitivity (sleep detection) of 89.4% and mean specificity (wakefulness detection) of 58.2%. The agreement rates for the individual stages of sleep were 60.6% for Stage 1, 89.3% for Stage 2, 99.2% for Stage 3 + 4, and 90.1% for Stage REM. These results demonstrate that sleep/wake activity in young to middle-aged healthy subjects can be assessed with a reliability comparable to that of conventional actigraphy through LC waist actigraphy and the optimal S/W scoring algorithm. 相似文献

Sedentariness is associated with obesity. We examined whether people with sedentary jobs are equally inactive during their work days and leisure days. We enrolled 21 subjects of varying weight and body fat (11 men:10 women, 38 ± 8 years, 83 ± 17 kg, BMI 28 ± 5 kg/m 2, 29 ± 11 fat kg, 35 ± 9% fat). All subjects continued their usual work and leisure‐time activities whilst we measured daily activity and body postures for 10 days. The data supported our hypothesis that people sit more at work compared to leisure (597 ± 122 min/day cf 484 ± 83 min/day; P < 0.0001). The mean difference was 110 ± 99 min/day. Similarly, work days were associated with less standing (341 ± 97 min/day; P = 0.002) than leisure days (417 ± 101 min/day). Although the walking bouts did not differ significantly between work and leisure (46 ± 9 vs. 42 ± 9 walking bouts/day); the mean free‐living velocity of a walk at work was 1.08 ± 0.28 mph and on leisure days was 0.94 ± 0.24 mph ( P = 0.03) and the average time spent walking was 322 ± 91 min on work days and 380 ± 108 min on leisure days ( P = 0.03). Estimates of the daily energetic cost of walking approximated 527 ± 220 kcal/day for work days and 586 ± 326 kcal/day for leisure days ( r = 0.72, P < 0.001). Work days are associated with more sitting and less walking/standing time than leisure days. We suggest a need to develop approaches to free people from their chairs and render them more active. 相似文献

To examine the influence of light exercise on cardiac responses during recovery from exercise, we measured heart rate (HR),
stroke volume (SV), and cardiac output ( Q˙
c) in five healthy untrained male subjects in an upright position before, during, and after 10-min steady-state cycle exercise
at an exercise intensity of 170 W, corresponding to a mean of 68 (SD 4)% of maximal oxygen uptake. The recovery phase was
evaluated separately for three different conditions: 10 min of complete rest (passive recovery), 7 min of pedalling at 20-W
exercise intensity followed by 3 min of rest (partially active recovery), and 7 min of pedalling at 40-W exercise intensity
followed by 3 min of rest (partially active recovery), on an upright cycle ergometer. The time courses of decreases in HR
in the two active recovery phases at different exercise intensities were almost identical to those in the passive recovery
phase. However, the subsequent HR reductions during the rest after active recovery at 20 W and at 40 W were mean 7.5 (SD 4.4)
and mean 10.0 (SD 3.1) beats · min −1, respectively, both of which were significantly larger ( P<0.05 and P<0.005) than the corresponding reduction [1.4 (SD 2.5) beats · min −1] for passive recovery. The SV values at the two exercise intensities during the active recovery periods were maintained at
levels similar to that during 170-W steady-state exercise. In contrast, the SV during passive recovery decreased gradually
to a level significantly below the initial baseline level at rest before exercise ( P<0.05). The resultant time courses of CO values during active recovery were significantly higher (each P<0.05) than that during passive recovery. It was concluded from these findings that light post-exercise physical activity
plays an important role in facilitating the venous return from the muscles and in restoring the elevated HR to the pre-exercise
resting level.

Monocular pattern-shift visual evoked potentials (PSVEPs) were obtained in 26 neurologically and ophthalmologically normal elderly community volunteers (mean age 59.4, males 15, females 11), and compared with similarly obtained data in 26 sex-matched young subjects (mean age 28.1). Elderly males were age-matched with elderly females, and young males were age-matched with young females. Data analyses at both the midoccipital-linked ears and midoccipital-midcentral derivations revealed that the combined-eye mean P100 latency in the elderly as a whole was significantly longer than the young sex-matched controls ( P < 0.02). However, the latency in the elderly males was not significantly different from that of sex-matched young males, or age-matched elderly females. The latency in young female subjects, on the other hand, was significantly shorter both when compared to that of age-matched young males ( P < 0.01) and sex-matched elderly females ( P < 0.01). The differences in other PSVEP variables, namely, interocular P100 latency differences, P100 amplitudes and interocular P100 amplitude ratios were not significant between the groups and subgroups studied.It is concluded that females account for the major contribution towards the longer P100 latency in the elderly. 相似文献

We monitored the circadian profiles of Cortisol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and heart rate (HR) in 33 matched normotensive subjects, 32 patients with essential hypertension and 16 patients with Cushing's Syndrome (8 pituitary adenomas, 6 adrenal adenomas and 2 adrenal carcinomas). Each subject underwent serial blood drawings at 4-hr intervals along the 24-hr cycle. BP and HR were automatically recorded every 30 min. Data were analyzed by conventional statistics and by chronobiological procedures (cosinor rhythmometry). Both the control subjects and essential hypertensives showed a circadian profile of BP and HR characterized by a peak in the early afternoon and a clear nocturnal fall (rhythm detection: P< 0.001). The rhythmicity of BP was disrupted in patients affected by Cushing's Syndrome, whereas the 24-hr oscillation of HR was preserved ( P < 0.001). Our data are compatible with the view that glucocorticoids are involved in the control of BP circadian rhythm, whereas HR is not under their control. 相似文献

AbstractBackgroundDepression and anxiety disorders often accompany psoriasis. Increased reactive oxygen radicals and impaired antioxidant systems are considered to play a role both in psoriasis and depression and anxiety disorders. Accordingly, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of depressive and anxiety symptoms on oxidative stress in patients with psoriasis.Materials and methodsHospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) forms were completed by 39 psoriasis patients and 25 volunteer controls. Serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidant capacity (TOC) parameters were analysed in serum samples, after which oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated in whole study population. Laboratory data were analysed with a Kruskal–Wallis test to determine the severity of HADS and the presence of psoriasis among four groups.ResultsThe psoriasis patients had higher HADS scores, higher OSI and TOC levels, and lower TAC levels compared with the control group. Comparison among four groups with/without psoriasis and higher/lower HADS scores revealed statistically significant differences with regard to TAC (Kruskal–Wallis P = 0.0047) and TOC (Kruskal–Wallis P < 0.001) levels and OSI (Kruskal–Wallis P < 0.001); the difference was mainly based on the difference between cases with and without psoriasis and on HADS scores in control subjects ( P < 0.05 for post hoc comparisons). TAC, TOC, and OSI levels did not differ significantly in psoriasis patients with regard to higher or lower HADS scores.ConclusionBased on the findings of this study, the presence of either psoriasis or higher HADS scores in the control subjects was associated with increased oxidative stress, whereas presence of higher HADS scores did not lead to further increase in oxidative stress in psoriatic patients. 相似文献

AbstractThis study investigated the influence of cycle exercise on acetone concentration in expired air and skin gas. The subjects for this experiment were eight healthy males. Subjects performed a continuous graded exercise test on a cycle ergometer. The workloads were 360 (1.0 kg), 720 (2.0 kg), 990 (2.75 kg) kgm/min, and each stage was 5 min in duration. A pedaling frequency of 60 rpm was maintained. Acetone concentration was analyzed by gas chromatography. The acetone concentration in expired air and skin gas during exercise at 990 kgm/min intensity was significantly increased compared with the basal level. The skin-gas acetone concentration at 990 kgm/min significantly increased compared with the 360 kgm/min ( P < 0.05). The acetone excretion of expired air at 720 kgm/min and 990 kgm/min significantly increased compared with the basal level ( P < 0.05). Acetone concentration in expired air was 4-fold greater than skin gas at rest and 3-fold greater during exercise ( P < 0.01). Skin gas acetone concentration significantly related with expired air ( r = 0.752; P < 0.01). This study confirmed that the skin-gas acetone concentration reflected that of expired air. 相似文献

Thermotherapy is generally considered appropriate for post-stroke patients with spasticity, yet its acute antispastic effects
have not been comprehensively investigated. F-wave parameters have been used to demonstrate changes in motor neuron excitability
in spasticity and pharmacological antispastic therapy. The present study aimed to confirm the efficacy of thermotherapy for
spasticity by evaluating alterations in F-wave parameters in ten male post-stroke patients with spastic hemiparesis (mean
age: 49.0±15.0 years) and ten healthy male controls (mean age: 48.7±4.4 years). The subjects were immersed in water at 41°C
for 10 min. Recordings were made over the abductor hallucis muscle, and antidromic stimulation was performed on the tibial
nerve at the ankle. Twenty F-waves were recorded before, immediately after, and 30 min following thermotherapy for each subject.
F-wave amplitude and F-wave/M-response ratio were determined. Changes in body temperature and surface-skin temperature were
monitored simultaneously. The mean and maximum values of both F-wave parameters were higher on the affected side before thermotherapy.
In the post-stroke patients, the mean and maximum values of both parameters were significantly reduced after thermotherapy
( P<0.01). Hence, the antispastic effects of thermotherapy were indicated by decreased F-wave parameters. Body temperature was
significantly increased both immediately after and 30 min after thermotherapy in all subjects. This appeared to play an important
role in decreased spasticity. Surface-skin temperature increased immediately after thermotherapy in both groups and returned
to baseline 30 min later. These findings demonstrate that thermotherapy is an effective nonpharmacological antispastic treatment
that might facilitate stroke rehabilitation. 相似文献
