      Heatstroke is a serious heat-related illness that can even cause death. Heat alert systems play an important role in reducing the number of patients experiencing heat illness, as they encourage preventive actions such as the use of air conditioning, hydration, or other strategies. However, to date, the Japanese hazard classification has not considered seasonal and regional variations, despite clear differences in meteorological conditions across different regions in Japan. Moreover, several studies have reported a difference in thermoregulation between older and younger adults, implying that the hazard classification should also consider age differences. This study examined the relationship between the number of ambulance dispatches related to heat illness (ADRHI) and the Japanese heat hazard classification from 2010 to 2019, focusing on monthly and regional differences. Data from 47 prefectures during the 10-year period were collected and analyzed. ADRHI and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) data were collected from Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the Ministry of the Environment Heat Illness Prevention Information website, respectively. The findings showed a significant relationship between ADRHI and WBGT<sub>max</sub> (p &lt; 0.05, r = 0.74). ADRHI per 100,000 people showed significant differences across months. The post hoc test detected the first steep increase in ADRHI at a WBGT<sub>max</sub> of 23°C than at 22°C in June, and at a WBGT<sub>max</sub> of 26°C, 27°C, and 25°C in July, August, and September, respectively. Moreover, the first significant increase in ADRHI per 100,000 people at WBGT<sub>max</sub> differed across each region, at a WBGT<sub>max</sub> of 24°C in Hokkaido-Tohoku, 25°C in Kanto, Kansai, and Chugoku, 26°C in Chubu, 27°C in Shikoku, and 28°C in Kyushu-Okinawa. Further, Poisson regression analysis revealed that the relative risks differed across each region and month. These results imply that the hazard classification should be adjusted according to region and month in Japan.

      Physical exercise is beneficial to both physical and mental health, though it is unclear whether voluntary and forced exercise have the same effects. We investigated the effects of chronic forced and voluntary wheel running on brain levels of serotonin (5-HT), its metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), and anxiety-like behavioral change in rats. Forty-eight rats were randomly assigned to standard cages (sedentary control: SC); voluntary exercise (free running on a wheel, V-EX); voluntary limited exercise (wheel available only 1 h per day, VL-EX); and forced exercise (running on a motorized wheel, F-EX). After 4 weeks, rats either underwent the open field test (OFT) or their 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels were measured in the major serotonergic neural cell bodies and projection areas. 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels in the dorsal and median raphe nuclei were increased in the V-EX, but not in the VL-EX and F-EX groups, compared with the SC group. In the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus and caudate putamen, only 5-HT levels were increased in the V-EX group. Interestingly, in the amygdala, only 5-HIAA levels were significantly increased in the V-EX group. Conversely, we found that F-EX rats showed no significant 5-HT changes and increased anxiety-like behavior. VL-EX did not have significant beneficial effects on any of the experimental parameters. These data suggest that only unlimited voluntary exercise stimulates the serotonergic system and suppresses anxiety-like behavior.

      Brain monoaminergic neurotransmitters, such as dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), and noradrenaline (NA), play crucial roles in neuronal and physiological functions, including social behaviors. Isolation housing may induce behavioral and neurochemical abnormalities in rats, although its influence on neurotransmitter levels remains obscure. This study investigated the influence of isolation- or group-housing on core body temperature (Tcore ), locomotor activity (ACT), emotional behavior, and neurotransmitter levels in male Wistar rats. Behavioral changes were monitored using the open field test (OFT) and social interaction test (SIT). After 4 weeks, brain tissues were collected to quantify 5-HT, DA, and NA concentrations. Body weight and basal Tcore during both the light and dark phase were higher in isolation-housed than in group-housed rats, although no significant difference was seen in ACT. No significant differences were observed during the OFT. Isolation-housed rats showed increased line crossing and decreased social behavior during the SIT. Isolation-housed rats exhibited decreased levels of 5-HT in the caudate putamen and amygdala, and elevated and decreased NA levels in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus and hippocampus, respectively. However, DA levels were unaffected. Thus, housing environments may affect brain areas that regulate various neuronal and physiological functions, such as memory, stress responses, and emotional behavior.

      Brain monoamines-such as noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT)-regulate several important physiological functions, including the circadian rhythm. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in NA, DA and 5-HT levels in various brain regions and their effect on core body temperature (T-c), heart rate (HR) and locomotor activity (Act) in rats following exposure to an artificial light/dark (LD) cycle. For this, male Wistar rats were housed at an ambient temperature (T-a) of 23 degrees C and 50% relative humidity with free access to food and water. Rats were exposed to either natural (12 h: 12 h) or artificial (6 h: 6 h) LD cycles for 1 month, after which each brain region was immediately extracted and homogenized to quantify the amounts of NA, DA and 5-HT by high-performance liquid chromatography. Behavioural changes were also monitored by the ambulatory activity test (AAT). Notably, we found that artificial LD cycles disrupted the physiological circadian rhythms of T-c, HR and Act. Although the 5-HT levels of rats with a disrupted circadian rhythm decreased in cell bodies (dorsal and median raphe nuclei) and projection areas (frontal cortex, caudate putamen, preoptic area and suprachiasmatic nucleus) relative to the control group, NA levels increased both in the cell body (locus coeruleus) and projection area (paraventricular hypothalamus). No significant changes were found with respect to DA. Moreover, circadian rhythm-disrupted rats also showed anxious behaviours in AAT. Collectively, the results of this study suggest that the serotonergic and noradrenergic systems, but not the dopaminergic system, are affected by artificial LD cycles in brain regions that control several neural and physiological functions, including the regulation of physiological circadian rhythms, stress responses and behaviour.

      The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between thermoregulation and catecholamine release in the preoptic area and anterior hypothalamus (PO/AH) during incremental treadmill running in the rat. To this aim, we combined in vivo brain microdialysis, biotelemetry and metabolic measurements for continuous monitoring of core body temperature (T-core), neurotransmitters and thermoregulatory responses. The animals were exercised for 1 h at 23 degrees C. Treadmill speed was increased every 20 min (10, 20 and 26 m min(-1)). T-core. oxygen consumption (VO2, an index of heat production) and tail skin temperature (T-tail, an index of heat loss) were simultaneously measured. Brain microdialysis samples were collected every 10 min, and these samples were analyzed for noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT). T-core and VO2 significantly increased during treadmill and were exercise intensity dependent. After an initial drop T-tail increased significantly during exercise. Both NA and DA levels in the PO/AH increased significantly during exercise. There was no effect on serotonin release. T-core. VO2 and T-tail were positively correlated with the levels of NA and DA. Our data suggest that thermoregulatory responses are dependent on the intensity of the exercise and that these responses are associated with changes in NA and DA release, but not in 5-HT release in the PO/AH.

      The aim of the present study was to assess the response of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) in the preoptic area and anterior hypothalamus (PO/AH) to thermoregulation during exercise in a warm environment. In addition, it was investigated whether a rapid increase in extracellular 5-HT levels in the PO/AH modifies the thermoregulatory response under the same exercise conditions. Rats were made to run for 120 min at 10 m min(-1) on a treadmill at the ambient temperature of 30 degrees C. Body core temperature (T-core) was monitored using a biotelemetry system, and tail skin temperature (T-tail) was simultaneously measured as an index of heat loss response. Microdialysis in combination with HPLC was used to measure concentrations of monoamines in the PO/AH. Both T-core and T-tail increased during the first 20 min of exercise and remained stable until the end of the exercise period. Low-intensity exercise did not induce any changes in 5-HT release in the PO/AH, although the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine were increased. Moreover, increased extracellular 5-HT by local perfusion of 1 mu M citalopram (selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor; SSRI) in the PO/AH had no effect on the thermoregulatory response during acute low-intensity exercise in a warm environment. These results suggest that enhanced release of only 5-HT in the PO/AH may not intervene thermoregulation during exercise in a warm environment. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

We quantified the release of NA in the mPOA during 3 h cold (5 degrees C) exposure in room-temperature-acclimated rats (RA group, kept at 23 degrees C for 2 weeks) and cold-acclimated rats (CA group, kept at 5 degrees C for 2 weeks). We concurrently monitored the core body temperature (T-c), heart rate (HR), and tail skin temperature (T-t). Cold exposure significantly increased T-c and HR, and decreased Tt in both groups. However, the cold-induced increase of the extracellular NA levels in mPOA was observed only in the RA group: not in the CA group. To elucidate these different results in NA levels further, and to evaluate participation of the mPOA in thermoregulation in the cold, we measured T-c, HR, and T-t during perfusion of alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist phenoxybenzamine during cold exposure (5 degrees C). This pharmacological procedure induced marked hypothermia, with decreases in HR only in the RA group; no changes were observed in T-c or any thermoregulatory parameter in the CA group. These results suggest that NA in the mPOA modulates heat production in response to acute cold stress in the RA group. However, this thermoregulatory action of NA in the mPOA was attenuated in the CA group. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

      Study Objectives: We hypothesized that appropriate changes in thermal environment would enhance the quality of sleep. Design/Setting: Controlled laboratory study. Participants: Healthy young men (n = 7, mean age 26 years). Interventions: Nocturnal sleep structures in semi-nude subjects were compared between a condition where an ambient temperature (Ta) of 29.5°C was maintained throughout the night (constant Ta), and a second condition (dynamic Ta) where Ta changed slowly within the thermoneutral range (from 27.5°C to 29.5°C). Measurements and Results: Statistically significant (P &lt
      0.05) results included a lower and a later occurrence of minimum core body temperature (Tc), and a longer duration of slow-wave (stages 3+4) sleep in dynamic versus constant T a. However, total sleep time, sleep efficiency, the total durations of light (stages 1+2) and rapid eye movement sleep, and the latencies to sleep onset, slow-wave sleep, and rapid eye movement sleep did not differ between conditions. Conclusions: Lowering the minimum and delaying the nadir of nocturnal Tc increases slow-wave sleep (probably by an increase of dry heat loss)
      use of this tactic might improve the overall quality of sleep.

      Action of norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) in the hypothalamus have been reported to play key roles in several homeostatic functions, including thermoregulation. The purpose of this study was to clarify differences in concentrations of NE, 5-HT and DA in several hypothalamic regions after cold exposure of different durations. Rats were exposed to a cold environment (5°C) for 3 hours (3H), 1 day (1D), 7 days (7D), 14 days (14D), or 28 days (28D). After cold exposure, each hypothalamic region was immediately extracted and homogenized. NE, 5-HT and DA in the extract were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. We observed marked differences in the concentration of NE in each hypothalamic region after cold exposures. NE in the preoptic area was high only in the 3H group, while it was elevated in the 7D, 14D and 28D groups in the ventromedial hypothalamus. On the other hand, NE in the posterior hypothalamus was low in the 3H, 1D, 7D and 14D groups. Cold exposure did not affect concentrations of 5-HT and DA in these hypothalamic regions. Our results suggest the involvement of NE in each hypothalamic region in maintenance of body temperature, and that the neuronally active site in the hypothalamus seems to change during cold acclimation. © 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

      To clarify the role of the preoptic area and anterior hypothalamus (PO/AH) on thermoregulatory system and the effects of serotonergic innervation from the median raphe nucleus (MRN) on body temperature (Tb), we perfused tetrodotoxin (TTX) solution into the PO/AH or MRN by using a microdialysis technique at different ambient temperatures (5, 23 and 35 degreesC) in freely moving rats. Tb was continuously monitored by using a telemetry system. In the MRN, perfusion of TTX solution induced significant hypothermia in the normal environment, a greater decrease in Tb during cold exposure and had no effect on Tb during heat exposure. In the PO/AH, perfusion of TTX solution induced Significant hyperthermia in normal environment, a greater increase in Tb during heat exposure and had no effect on Tb during cold exposure. Our results indicate that the PO/AH regulates mainly heat loss or inhibits the loci regulating heat production. Furthermore, heat production appears to be regulated by other loci receiving serotonergic innervation from the MRN. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

      近年,地球温暖化が世界中で大きな問題となっており,熱中症による健康被害が増加している.また,体調不良時には熱中症になりやすいことが経験的に認識されているが,その詳細なメカニズムについては明らかになっていない.これまで本研究者はラットを用いた研究にて,不規則な照明環境下での生活が深部体温や心拍数の生体リズムを乱し,様々な生体機能の調節を司る脳内神経伝達物質の乱れを誘発し,それらが不安様行動を惹起することを明らかにしている.すなわち,この状態が体調不良モデルと考えられる.そこで,本研究では,生体リズムの乱れに伴う体調不良が暑熱環境下での生理指標(深部体温,心拍数,活動量),脳内神経伝達物質(セロトニン,ドーパミン,ノルアドレナリン),不安様行動,認知機能に及ぼす影響を明らかにすることを目的とする.更に熱中症予防としての暑熱順化や運動の効果を神経生理学的観点から検討し,教育やスポーツの現場に還元することを目標とする.

      This study clarified the mechanism of the decrease in endurance exercise performance in the heat using neurophysiological method and thermoregaultory and circulatory methods from both human and animal experiments. We also proposed a new prevention of heat illness method. Specifically, in experiments using animals, brain neurotransmitters during exercise in different environments could be measured. We could observe the details of core temperature and thermoregulatory responses. In human experiments, the effects of internal and external cooling on core body temperature, brain temperature, and exercise performance could be examined. In addition, these results were transmitted as recommendations for heat illness prevention and competitiveness improvement.

      The following results were obtained through the project.1) Relationships between lower back pain (LBP) and psychological factors were clarified. Specifically, persons with negative psychological conditions tended to have LBP. Therefore psychological approaches should be adopted for alleviating and preventing LBP.2) The Sumo exercises proposed in the study were effective for alleviating and preventing LBP. However, it was also shown that to keep up such kinds of intense exercises over a long period of time was difficult. Therefore, future research should examine how to make Sumo exercises a part of LBP suffers’ daily routines.

      実験は昨年度と同様に、無麻酔・無拘束ラットにおいて、マイクロダイアリシス法、テレメトリー法に加え、熱産生反応の指標の心拍数と熱放散反応の指標の尾部皮膚温の測定を行った。実験は全て明期の間に行い、全ての実験は測定開始から1時間を安静期間とした。測定開始60分後の平均体温、心拍数および尾部皮膚温を基準値として統計分析を行った。環境温度は23℃の下で行い、1時間の安静期間後にTTX(5μM)溶液の灌流を1時間行った。なお、TTX溶液灌流中以外は生理食塩水を灌流した。実験終了後にはプローブ挿入位置を染色し、脳を摘出し、ホルマリン固定後に脳部位の確認を行った。
      DRNへのTTX灌流投与により、有意な体温低下(約3.5℃)が観察された。この体温低下に先立ち、熱放散反応の指標である尾部皮膚温は急激な上昇(約5℃)を示した。熱産生反応の指標である心拍数は変化しなかった。以上の結果より、DRNへのTTX灌流投与後に起きる体温低下は、主に熱放散が上昇したことによると考えられた。また、これらの結果は前年度行ったMRNへのTTX灌流投与時とほぼ同じであり、体温調節機構におけるDRN、MRNの機能的差異は無く、両部位からの5-HT投射の役割は、主に熱放散系に関与していることが示唆された。

      研究目的:
      我々ヒトを含む恒温動物は、個体内部の熱産生量が増えた時や外界の温度が変動した時に、深部体温を一定の範囲内に保つ体温調節機能を備えている。しかしながら、近年の異常気象から、スポーツ中の熱中症が増えており、また、高齢者にとっても熱中症は重要な問題となっている。熱中症の事故は、地球温暖化の影響もあるが、体温調節機能の低下も一因になっていると考えられる。今後益々地球温暖化が進む中で、体温調節機能の維持、向上は重要な課題であり、その中枢における基本的なメカニズムを解明する必要がある。
      脳内の調節機構には、神経細胞を促進または抑制する神経伝達物質の働きが極めて重要である。本研究では体温調節機構における神経伝達物質の役割を明らかにすることを目的としている。

      研究方法:
      神経伝達物質の回収、測定にはマイクロダイアリシス-HPLC法を用い、体温の測定にはテレメトリー法を用いている。これらの手法を組み合わせることにより無麻酔無拘束による測定が可能となる。

      結果と考察:
      これまでの結果、体温調節において最も重要と考えられている視索前野/前視床下部(PO/AH)の役割は、主に熱産生を抑制していることが明らかになった。また、この熱産生の抑制の解除に関与するPO/AHの神経伝達物質はノルエピネフリンとガンマアミノ酪酸(GABA)であり、熱放散に関与する神経伝達物質はドーパミンである可能性が明らかになった。これまで体温調節機構において重要だと考えられてきたPO/AHのセロトニンは、関与しないことが明らかになった。この様に、PO/AHにおける体温調節機構には、複数の神経伝達物質が複雑な相互関係により調節していることを明らかにした。
