  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Although some juices affect subjective sleep quality, there is a lack of information on the effect of a specific juice on objective sleep quality and heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep; thus the present study investigated whether a blended juice made from natural extracts influenced sleep quality and HRV during sleep in adults with disturbed sleep. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A randomized, crossover study was conducted on twenty-five adults (15/10, female/male) complaining of difficulty initiating or maintaining nighttime sleep (Pittsburgh sleep quality index [PSQI] ≥ 5). During feeding sessions (FS), subjects received sleep-inducing juice made of natural ingredients (250 mL/trial) twice a day for 8 weeks or non-FS (N-FS) for 8 weeks while maintaining normal activities. Sleep quality and parameters were recorded via wearable actigraph for 7 consecutive days, and PSQI scores were assessed before and after the intervention. HRV was also monitored at rest and during sleep. RESULTS: After receiving the sleep-inducing juice intervention (FS), PSQI scores were significantly decreased (P < 0.001) and correlated with a significant decline in fatigue severity scale and visual analogue scale levels (P < 0.05; both). HRV indices of vagal activity were significantly improved during FS (P < 0.05), and no significant differences in N-FS were observed. Sleep efficiency and total sleep time increased significantly (P < 0.05) and sleep latency, total counts, sleep fragmentation index, and movement index, decreased significantly (P < 0.05, all 4) during FS, with no significant differences-observed during N-FS. CONCLUSIONS: This study results demonstrated that an 8-week course of sleep-inducing juice has led to improve sleep quality, suggesting an enhanced cardiac vagal tone during sleep. Thus, it could be a well-tolerated option for adults with disturbed sleep.

  • Sleep is an inevitable part of human existence and a part of the dynamic quality of life. The purpose of this study is to explore sleep pattern changes and related factors of patients hospitalized. The participants are 158 patients hospitalized in one general hospital. The questionnaire was developed by modification of VSH sleep scale (1987). Open question was used for research of related factors. $SPSS/PC^+$ are utilized for data analysis. The results are as follows ; There is significant difference before and after admission in the sleep disturbance. There is retroverse significant difference before and after admission in the sleep effectiveness. There is no significant difference between two groups in the nap supplementation. The patients reported pain by reason of sleep latency and mid-sleep awakening and noise due to early awakening. The reasons for lack of sleep were pain and noise. The method for overcoming their sleep disturbance, most of the subjects waited with closed eyes, imaged by themselved and took medicate sleeping pills. Discomfort manifested in the case of insufficient steepness was fatigue, headache and aggressiveness.

  • 유뇨증은 발병기전이 단일한 원인으로 설명되기 어려운 임상적으로 복합적인 질병이다. 유전적 요인, 신경근육계 및 비뇨기계의 미성숙, 심리사회적 요인이나 대소변 가리기 훈련의 이상, 그리고 생물학적 요인 등 여러 가지 원인론들이 있으나 아직 확실한 것은 없다. 그러나 최근 신경생리학적 연구와 신경 내분비학적 연구들의 결과, 야뇨증과 수면주기와의 관련성이나 야간의 항이뇨호르몬 (antidiuretic hormone) 분비 저하와의 관련성 등 보고되어 야뇨증의 치료에 있어 새로운 접근을 가능하게 하고 있다. Vasopressin 이 우수한 치료율, 안전성, 적은 부작용 등으로 새로운 치료약물로서 시도되고 있으나 재발율이 높아, imipramine또는 vasopressin의 투여와 Bell-alarm행동요법을 병행하여 치료하는 것이 바람직하다.

  • Purpose: Safe sleep practices (SSP) are among the main strategies to reduce sleep-related sudden unexplained infant death (SUID). Daycare personnel must be knowledgeable and trained in SSP related to SUID. This study explored the experience, knowledge, and confidence regarding SSP associated with SUID of daycare personnel. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 395 staff members at 61 daycare centers to measure their experience related to SSP (10 items), related to sleep position and location, bedding materials, and other topics; knowledge of SSP (18 items); and confidence in SSP (1 item) related to SUID. Results: A substantial proportion (23.6%) of respondents used the lateral or prone positions for infant sleep. On average, 4.5 bedding materials were used for infant sleep. Participants showed a lack of knowledge about SSP as indicated by a 56.6% knowledge of SSP related to SUID correct answer rate. Personnel who received SUID education were more knowledgeable and had more confidence regarding SSP than those who did not. More knowledge and confidence related to SSP were associated with better adherence to SSP. Conclusion: Standard SSP guidelines should be developed based on South Korea's culture of childcare for educating both childcare professionals and parents at home.

  • 배 경 : 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증은 다양하고 심각한 임상 증상과 합병증을 유발하는 질환으로 국내에서도 흔히 진단되고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 수면다원기록법을 사용해 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증을 확진한 환자들의 대규모 국내 연구를 찾아 볼 수 없었다. 본 연구에서는 종래의 연구에서보다 더 큰 집단을 대상으로 수면다원기록법을 사용해 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증으로 확진된 한국인 환자의 임상적 특성과 수면 양상에 관해 조사하였다. 방 법 : 서울대학교병원 수면다원검사실에 의뢰된 환자들 중 수면다원검사 결과 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증으로 진단된 환자 801명을 대상으로 하였다. 중추성 무호흡증, 주기성 사지운동증, 기면병, 렘수면관련행동장애, 그리고 외국인 환자는 제외하였다. 연구 대상 군의 임상적 특징을 조사하였으며 수면 변인들을 연령, 성별에 따른 정상치와 비교하였다. 그리고 호흡장애지수가 수면변인에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 전체 연구대상자 801명 중 남자가 83.4%, 여자가 16.4%이었고 평균 연령은 46.6세였다. 평균 비만정도 지수는 25.8이었고 비만한 환자가 22.8%를 차지하였다. 전체 대상 중 6.2%가 벤조디아제핀계 약물을 복용 중이었다. 연구 대상군에서 정상치에 비해 입면잠복시간은 증가되었고 수면효율, 렘수면 분율, 그리고 서파수면 분율은 감소하였다. 서파수면 분율과 렘수면 분율은 각각 호흡장애지수와 음의 상관성을 보였으나 수면효율과 입면잠복시간은 모두 호흡장애지수와 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서 다수의 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증 환자가 비만과 무관하였다. 또한 6.2%의 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증 환자가 벤조디아제핀계 약물을 복용하고 있었다. 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증의 발병은 수면효율도 낮추고 서파수면과 렘수면 분율을 감소시키나 호흡장애지수가 커져도 서파수면과 렘수면 분율이 감소할 뿐 수면효율은 별 다른 변화가 없었다. 즉, 수면효율보다는 수면 구조의 변화가 수면 중 호흡장애의 정도에 더 관련되었음을 알 수 있었다.

  • 솔라셀의 동작 상태와 센서 MAC 프로토콜의 Active 및 Sleep 동작 모드를 고려하여 충전배터리와 센서통신장치의 입력 전원을 제어하는 회로를 설계한다. 솔라셀과 재충전 배터리를 단순 조합하는 센서통신장치는 햇빛이 없는 시간이 장기간 지속될 때 배터리 소모가 많아서 작동을 멈추게 된다. 일반적으로 센서 MAC 프로토콜은 전력소모를 줄이기 위하여 짧은 Active모드와 전력 소모가 거의 없는 긴 Sleep모드를 반복한다. 이러한 특성을 고려하여, 햇빛이 충분하고 Sleep모드이면 배터리를 충전하고 햇빛이 불충분하고 Active모드이면 배터리 전력을 사용하도록 설계함으로써 배터리 지속 시간을 크게 향상시켰다. 또한, 센서통신장치는 솔라셀의 출력전력값의 크기에 따라서 솔라셀과 배터리 사이에서 입력 전원을 스위칭 하도록 하였다. 스위칭 도중에 일시적 전원 차단으로 인한 마이크로프로세서의 리셋을 방지하기 위하여 커패시터를 사용하였다. 또한, 커패시터는 Sleep모드에서 전원을 공급한다. 실험을 통하여 본 센서통신장치가 장기간의 햇빛이 없는 경우에도 안정적으로 작동한다는 것을 입증하였다.

  • Purpose: This study investigated sleep satisfaction and influencing factors in Korean adolescents with atopic dermatitis. Methods: Data were obtained from 4,570 subjects who completed the 2017 13th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and multiple-sample logistic regression were used. Results: The results of this study were as follows. Gender, academic achievement, economic status, perceived stress, happiness, health status, and depression in the subjects showed a significant difference in terms of sleep satisfaction in atopic adolescents. Multiple-sample logistic regression analysis showed that male adolescents (odds ratio (OR)=0.48), academic achievement (low OR=0.67, middle OR=0.78), economic status (low OR=0.50, middle OR=0.64), lack of depression (OR=0.63), perceived stress (very OR=4.65, a little OR=2.25), perceived happiness (unhappy OR=1.99, moderate OR=1.22), perceived health status (unhealthy OR=2.17, ordinary OR=1.35), alcohol nondrinking (OR=0.75), and nonsmoking (OR=0.73) were not associated with sleep satisfaction. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop interventions that can relieve stress management and depression and develop positive emotions in atopic adolescents. In addition, there is a need to improve the environment to avoid health risks such as alcohol consumption and smoking and to minimize the effects of passive smoking.

  • The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and diverse types of pain conditions have been proposed. However, no consensus on the relationship between OSA and painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) has been established. Therefore, this systematic review has been conducted to review the existing literatures and provide comprehensive synthesis of such literatures about OSA and painful TMDs using the evidence-based methodology. A literature search was conducted using two electronic databases, Scopus, and PubMed. Risk of bias was assessed using the risk-of-bias assessment tool for non-randomized study version 2.0. A total of 158 articles were screened from the initial search and eventually, 5 articles were included in this systematic review. One study adopted both the longitudinal prospective cohort and case-control designs and other 4 articles adopted the cross-sectional design. Two studies employed polysomnography (PSG) for the diagnosis of OSA and mentioned the results from the PSG. All cross-sectional studies demonstrated higher OSA prevalence among patients with TMD, and one cohort study suggested OSA as a risk factor for TMD. OSA appears to have potential influences on the development of TMD; however, the role of TMD in the development of OSA remains to be unknown owing to the lack of high-quality evidences.

  • Lack of adequate sleep has become increasingly common in our 24/7 modern society. Reduced sleep has significant health consequences including metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, and mental problems including depression. In addition, although the increase in life expectancy has provided a dream of longevity to humans, the occurrence of osteoporosis is a big obstacle to this dream for both male and female. It is known that insomnia and bone health problems, which are very critical conditions in human life, interestingly, share a lot of pathogenesis in recent decades. Nevertheless, due to another side effects of the synthetic drugs being taken for the treatment of insomnia and osteoporosis, patients have substantial anxiety for the safety of drugs with therapeutic expectation. This review examines the pathogenesis shared by sleep and osteoporosis together and herbal medicine, which has recently been shown to be safe and efficacious in the treatment of both diseases other than synthetic drugs. We suggestions for how to treat osteoporosis. These efforts will be the first step toward enabling patients to have comfortable and safe prescriptions through a wide selection of therapeutic agents in the future.
