Introduction
Acupuncture on the acupuncture point GV20 has been considered effective for managing psychoneurological disorders since ancient times, and GV20 is now regularly used to treat stress-related diseases (SRDs), including psychoneurological disorders. Although reports indicating that acupuncture stimulation of GV20 alone regulates cerebral blood flow (CBF) in brain regions associated with SRDs have been scattered, from the perspective of the need for earlier action, the effects on subjective stress as self-reported in the stress state of healthy individuals and CBF changes in related prefrontal cortex (PFC) subregions, which is based as underlying mechanism, remain unclear. Therefore, there is a need to explore effective methods for analyzing such effects.
Methods
Multiple consecutive mental arithmetic tasks were performed to induce sufficient stress in healthy university students. Real acupuncture or sham acupuncture was performed on GV20, and subjective stress and CBF changes in PFC subregions were observed before and after acupuncture using functional near-infrared spectroscopy, which were analyzed based on the general linear model method and correlation analysis.
Results
Subjective stress was suppressed and recovered significantly faster in the true acupuncture group than in the sham acupuncture group. Furthermore, significant negative correlations were found between subjective stress and CBF in several PFC subregions during and after the tasks, with more correlated regions on the left side than on the right side of the PFC. Among them, the CBF of the left ventrolateral PFC (vl-PFC) was suggested to be maintained in the true acupuncture group under repeated tasks load, which was inferred to be correlated with delayed decreases in subjective stress after acupuncture.
Discussion
This pilot study showed that fNIRS is feasible for assessing delayed PFC inhibition in acute stress by acupuncture on GV20. Acupuncture treatment on GV20 resulted in early suppression of subjective stress and early recovery. The neuroscientific rationale for this finding may lie in its effect on maintaining CBF in the left vl-PFC related to delayed inhibition of subjective stress, and would make it reasonable to apply acupuncture to GV20 in healthy individuals. Larger studies are needed to corroborate these findings and obtain reliable conclusions. - はり又はきゅう用器具の国内市場規模

Functional Foods in Health and Disease, 09 Feb. 2024, [Reviewed]
Background: Saw palmetto extract (SPE) is one of the most widely used supplements for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) due to its pharmacological effects. β-sitosterol-enriched saw palmetto oil (VISPO™) contains more than 3% β-sitosterol and 85% total fatty acids and has been shown to improve symptoms in patients with BPH. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) require primary preventive measures in countries with accelerated population aging, including Japan. VISPO™ is expected to be effective against the early symptoms of LUTS. However, the effect of VISPO™ on urinary function in healthy individuals has not been elucidated.Objective: This clinical study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of VISPO™ in the management of urinary complaints among healthy middle-aged and older men who did not require treatment.Methods: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that included 54 male participants who were assigned to consume VISPO™ or placebo (olive oil) capsules for 12 weeks. Biometric data, uroflowmetry results, and salivary hormone levels were assessed at weeks 1 and 12. Urinary function and quality of life were assessed at weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12 using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (CLSS), and WHOQOL-26.Results: Two-way analysis of variance revealed that IPSS and OABSS were significantly lower in the VISPO™ group that in the placebo group. However, there were no significant differences in urine volume, urinary flow rate, or salivary hormone levels. In addition, no participants reported adverse effects (diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.). Conclusion: The results of the present study, which is the first randomized controlled trial of VISPO™ conducted among healthy participants, demonstrate the effectiveness of VISPO™ in the management of lower urinary tract complaints that do not require treatment. Trial Registration: University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000046386).Keywords: saw palmetto, VISPO™, β-sitosterol, fatty acids, healthy subjects, primary preventive, IPSS, OABSS, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) - Clinical effectiveness of trigger point acupuncture on chronic neck and shoulder pain (katakori) with work productivity loss in office workers: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate whether trigger point acupuncture (TrPA) is beneficial for office workers who have reduced job performance (presenteeism) due to chronic neck and shoulder pain (katakori).
Methods: A 4-week single-center randomized controlled trial was conducted on 20 eligible female office workers with chronic neck and shoulder pain of at least 3-month duration. The control group implemented only workplace-recommended presenteeism measures, whereas the intervention group received TrPA up to 4 times per month in addition to the presenteeism measures recommended by each workplace. The major outcome measure was the relative presenteeism score on the World Health Organization Health and Work Performance (WHO-HPQ). The secondary outcome measures were pain intensity (numerical rating scale), absolute presenteeism (WHO-HPQ), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; HADS), catastrophic thoughts related to pain (Pain Catastrophizing Scale; PCS), and sleep (Athens Insomnia Scale; AIS).
Results: All 9 cases in the intervention group and 11 cases in the control group were analyzed. TrPA up to 4 times per month reduced the intensity of neck and shoulder pain by 20% (P < .01, d = 1.65) and improved labor productivity (relative presenteeism value) by 0.25 (P < .01, d = 1.33) compared with the control group over 1 month. No significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in terms of absolute presenteeism score, HADS, PCS, or AIS.
Conclusions:These results suggest that regular intervention with TrPA may be effective in the relative presenteeism score before and after the intervention and the degree of neck and shoulder pain over 28 days compared with the control group. - Health status of university football athletes through multidimensional screening

Injury prevention and health promotion among elite athletes are crucial to athletic success. Risk management requires the understanding and adjustment of physical, environmental, and psychological factors. Sleep status can be one of the essential factors for maintaining good health and preventing injury. The Athlete Sleep Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) is expected to be an international standard for evaluating the sleep status of elite athletes. The 16 items ASSQ assess several sleep-related factors, including sleep difficulty, sleep-disordered breathing such as snoring and apnea, sleep and psychosomatic functioning during expeditions, chronotype, napping, caffeine intake, and electronic device use.
A total of 158 male college soccer players responded the ASSQ-J and the Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-J). A factor analysis was conducted to validate the factor structure of the ASSQ-J. The internal consistency of ASSQ-J is assessed for validation. Pearson’s correlation coefficients and kappa statistic were calculated to determine if the ASSQ-J was significantly associated with PSQI-J respectively.
Regarding the ASSQ-J-SDS, 22.4% (35 of 156) of the subjects in this study scored 8 or higher (moderate or higher), which was almost consistent with the results of a previous study on college athletes. It is clear that some Japanese male collegiate soccer players have sleep problems, as same as collegiate athletes around the world. Further research is needed for the validation of the ASSQ-J, the sleep status in a wider range of ages and sports are also investigated. - Effect of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation on daytime sleepiness, depression, and study engagement in college students: a randomized controlled trial

BACKGROUND: Exercise therapy is the first choice non-pharmacotherapeutic approach for musculoskeletal pain; however, it often interferes with the implementation and continuation of exercise due to fear-avoidance behaviors. Trigger point acupuncture (TrPAcp) has been reported to reduce musculoskeletal pain. OBJECTIVES: To examine the efficacy of exercise combined with TrPAcp compared to exercise alone for older patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), the most common subjective symptom reported by old people of both sexes in Japan. METHODS: In this single-center randomized controlled trial conducted at Teikyo Heisei University, 15 men and women aged ≥ 65 years with low back pain for at least 3 months who met the eligibility criteria were included. The Ex+TrPAcp group received exercise and trigger point acupuncture, while the Ex group received only exercise for 3 months. The main outcome, pain intensity, was measured using the numerical rating scale (NRS). Improvement was defined as a decrease in NRS of ≥ 2 or less than moderate (NRS < 4). RESULTS: The analysis included 7 of 8 cases in the Ex+TrPAcp group and 7 of 7 cases in the Ex group. NRS improved in 6 of 7 and 1 of 7 patients in the intervention and control groups, respectively, with a significant difference between groups (p = 0.03, ϕ = 0.71). Regarding adverse events due to acupuncture, one patient (14.3%) complained of heaviness after acupuncture. Nothing specific was reported with exercise. CONCLUSION: Compared with Ex alone, Ex+TrPAcp may be more effective therapy for older people with CLBP who do not have an exercise habit. - Impact of COVID-19 and related emergency measures on mental and lifestyle changes in Japanese college football players

The functional movement screen (FMS) is an evaluating system which is used during conditioning for injury prevention. A previous study reported improvements in FMS after collective exercise. The purpose of the current study was therefore to examine the relationship between collective exercise and changes in the FMS. A collective exercise program (CEP) was prescribed according to each subject’s FMS results. The subjects were instructed to perform CEP daily, and the FMS was measured after a 13-week intervention period. The results of this study suggest that the implementation of CEP for at least 4 days a week has some beneficial physical effects, including the acquisition of functional movements. - The Occurrence of Physical and Psychological Problems Among Japanese College Soccer Players: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study

Objective: During acupuncture stimulation, autonomic nervous system (ANS) function changes toward being parasympathetic-dominant, with a transient decrease in heart rate (HR). The aim of this research was to determine the relationships between cortical relaxation and vigilance as observed on background electroencephalograms (EEGs), HR, and ANS function during deep acupuncture. Materials and Methods: This comparative study was conducted at Teikyo Heisei University, in Toshima-ku, Tokyo, Japan, with 27 healthy male volunteers. After resting for 20 minutes, the men received manual acupuncture at LI 10 on the left forearm for 2 minutes at a depth of 15-20 mm at a 1-Hz frequency while undergoing concurrent EEG and electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring. Each subject described his level of comfort during acupuncture. HR; power ratios (normalized units [n.u.]) of EEG alpha, beta, delta, and theta waves; and HR variability (HRV) indices were calculated. Results: In the subgroup who experienced discomfort, delta and theta n.u. were decreased while alpha n.u. were increased, indicating increased vigilance and decreased relaxation. In the subgroup who experienced comfort, there were no significant changes. HRV indices suggested parasympathetic-dominant changes in both subgroups. Weak correlations were observed between a decrease of theta n.u. and sympathetic-dominant changes in HRV indices. Conclusions: Alterations in background EEG activities were not the primary factors changing ANS function to parasympathetic-dominant and decreasing HR, but these alterations related to a weak secondary factor changing ANS function. EEG activity by which cortical relaxation and vigilance were represented was the weak secondary factor changing ANS function during acupuncture; the primary factor might be supraspinal reflection. - Electroacupuncture of the Ophthalmic Branch of the Trigeminal Nerve: Effects on Prefrontal Cortex Blood Flow.

Objective: The current authors observed enhanced cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in response to 100-Hz electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve. However, it is not yet clear if responsiveness to 100-Hz EA depends on stimulus intensity. This study examined the effects of stimulus strength on PFC CBF during 100-Hz EA of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve. Materials and Methods: Twelve subjects underwent 3 acupuncture sessions: I, control, no stimulation; II, 0.1 mA EA; and III, 0.2 mA EA). Needles were inserted 1 cm lateral of the head median line; the anterior insertion point was on the front hairline and the posterior insertion point was ∼7 cm behind the hairline. Stimulation frequency was set to 100-Hz. PFC CBF was measured in terms of oxygenated, deoxygenated, and total hemoglobin (OxyHb, DeoxyHb, TotalHb, respectively), using 16-channel (Ch) near-infrared spectroscopy. Results: Stimulation of 0.2 mA was associated with significant elevation of OxyHb levels in the 0.1 mA condition in Chs 6, 10, and 12. Ch 2-6, 10, 12 signals were notably higher than in the control condition. Stimulation of 0.2 mA and 0.1 mA were associated with significant declines in DeoxyHb levels, compared to the control condition in Ch 4. Finally, 0.2 mA stimulation in Chs 12 and 13 was associated with significant elevation of TotalHb levels in the control condition. Conclusions: Using 0.2-mA stimulation, 100-Hz EA of the ophthalmic nerve enhances PFC CBF more strongly than 0.1-mA stimulation. - Effects of a Standardized Oligomerized-Polyphenol from Litchi chinensis Fruit Extract and Mixed Plant Extract Supplementation on Peripheral Circulation and Cold Sensitivity.

Certain individuals tend to suffer from a cold sensation-particularly in the lower extremities-despite most people not suffering from the same sensation. In Japan, this phenomenon is called "hie-sho" and reduces quality of life for several people, particularly women. A previous study has shown that a standardized oligomerized-polyphenol from Litchi chinensis fruit extract (OPLFE) reportedly causes a significant increase in body surface temperature. The present study aimed to investigate whether supplementation with OPLFE affected peripheral circulation and cold sensitivity. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed including 25 participants (age, 45.0±10.4 y; 3 males and 22 females) who were assigned to consume OPLFE, mixed plant extract with OPLFE, or placebo capsules for 14 d. Participants were instructed to relax for 60 min in a temperature-controlled room prior to obtaining measurements. Changes in skin temperature and peripheral blood flow of the middle finger were assessed immediately before and 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 min after immersion in cold water (10ºC). Participants' height, weight, skin temperature, and blood flow in peripheral tissue were measured; furthermore, their "hie-sho" was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Skin temperature and blood flow in peripheral tissue increased in the OPLFE and mixed plant extract with OPLFE groups on day 14 compared with those on day 1. In addition, cold sensitivity in these two groups significantly improved between day 1 and day 14. These findings suggest that OPLFE improves "hie-sho" by increasing peripheral blood flow and skin temperature. - Effects of Acupuncture Sensations on Transient Heart Rate Reduction and Autonomic Nervous System Function During Acupuncture Stimulation.

Objective: During acupuncture stimulation, heart rate (HR) transiently decreases and autonomic nervous system (ANS) function becomes parasympathetic-dominant. To clarify the effect of acupuncture sensations (pain, De Qi), the effects of deep acupuncture sensations on HR and ANS functions were determined. Materials and Methods: In this comparative study at Teikyo Heisei University, Tokyo, Japan, 40 healthy, male student volunteers rested for 20 minutes before undergoing manual acupuncture to the Shousanli (LI 10) acupoint on the left forearm for 2 minutes at a frequency of 1 Hz, with concurrent electrocardiography. Depth of stimulation was 15-20 mm. These subjects described their subjective acupuncture sensations. Calculations were performed, using HR variability analysis to find HR and low-frequency (LF) normalized units (nu), the ratio of LF components to total components (as an index of sympathetic nervous system function), high-frequency (HF)nu, the ratio of HF components to total components (as an index of parasympathetic nervous system function), and LF/HF (as an index of sympathetic and parasympathetic balance). Results: For the final analysis, data were available for 32 subjects. Compared to before acupuncture, HR decreased during acupuncture. HR decreased when no acupuncture sensations or when weak De Qi sensations were perceived, and remained unchanged when acupuncture sensations without De Qi or strong De Qi were perceived. LFnu decreased, HFnu increased, and LF/HF decreased, regardless of pain or De Qi. Conclusions: Acupuncture stimulation reduced HR even without De Qi sensations and caused ANS function to be parasympathetic-dominant, irrespective of the perception of acupuncture sensations. - Effect of change in height and stability of feet on muscle activity during side bridge

Many people routinely have a routine in which they exercise once a week. They should be performed along with the purpose of the training. Stability training is often carried out for enhancement of performance in the field of sports. An appropriate load is important for athletic rehabilitation. Rehabilitation without gradual advancement characteristics can lead to various repercussions such as prolongation of period of return to play and recurrence injuries. It is therefore advisable to objectively assess the load exerted by each training method. However, the degree of alteration of muscle activity on change of the height and instability of feet on performing side bridges was unclear. Seventeen healthy male participants performed four kinds of side bridges (on the stable floor, stable 30cm stand, unstable floor, unstable 30cm stand). Muscle activity was measured and inspected at the time of the enforcement. Activity of the gluteus medius, external oblique muscle, internal oblique muscle and the multifidus lumborum muscle were measured with the help of a surface electromyogram. The gluteus medius significantly showed low activity on the stable 30cm stand in com-parison with the other conditions. The external oblique muscle, internal oblique muscle, and the multifidus lumborum muscle significantly showed significantly high activity underon the unstable condition. It was thought that by raising the feet on the platform, the activity of the gluteus medius muscle decreased. Besides, it was suggested that the activity of the trunk muscles mayight be markedly required highly needed underon the unstable condition. - Evaluation of Autonomic Nervous System Function Using Heart Rate Variability Analysis during Transient Heart Rate Reduction Caused by Acupuncture

Daytime sleepiness is reportedly associated with depression and poor academic performance. This study aimed to examine the effect of self-care using transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) in college students with sleepiness and depression. Thirty-four college students were assigned to a control or taVNS group. Daytime sleepiness, depression, study engagement, and sleep quality were measured using the ESS-J, BDI-II-J, UWES-S-J, PSQI-J, and Silmee. Autonomic nervous system activities were measured using heart rate variability. The change in each group from day 28 to day 1 was calculated and analyzed. The ESS-J, BDI-II-J, UWES-S-J, and PSQI-J (sleep quality and daytime dysfunction) scores improved, and the LF/HF ratio (sympathetic nervous system) decreased in the taVNS group compared with the control group. Self-care using taVNS suppresses the sympathetic nervous system during sleep, which may improve sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, depression, and study engagement.
