From June 1990 to October 1998, 100 patients with adult-type atopic dermatitis (59 males and 41 females, 25±8 years) were admitted to our hospital to receive balneotherapy using Kusatsu hot-spring water. The atopic dermatitis in all but 9 cases occurred while the patients were still under 20 and had been refractory to various treatments including steroid ointment therapy over a long period of time. The patients took a 10-minute 40-42°C hot-spring bath followed by immediate application of white petrolatum 1-2 times daily for 75±46 days. The main components of the hot-spring water are aluminium, sulphates and chlorides, and its pH is 2.0. The skin symptoms of 79 of 100 cases (79%) were improved through the balneotherapy and furthermore pruritus was improved in 55 of the 79 cases (70%). The improvement of skin manifestations was supported by a significant decrease in serum LDH levels. In contrast, pruritus was not improved in the remaining 21 cases who showed no changes in skin symptoms and serum LDH levels. Moreover, changes in the number of Staphylococcus aureus on the skin surface were examined before and after balneotherapy. In the 69 cases examined whose skin symptoms were improved, many Staphylococci aureus were detected in 52 of the cases but not in the other 17 cases before starting balneotherapy. They disappeared in 24 cases and decreased in 18 cases of the 52 cases, but were not changed in the remaining 10 cases through the balneotherapy. On the other hand, the number of Staphylococcus aureus on the skin surface was not changed in 11 of the 14 cases examined whose skin symptoms were not improved. Our previous study reported that bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus is expressed by the co-existence of manganese and iodide ions contained in the hot-spring water under an acidic (pH 2.0-3.0) condition. Thus, the mechanisms of the improvement of skin manifestations through the balneotherapy may be explained by considering bactericidal activity of Kusatsu hot-spring water against Staphylococcus aureus inducing acute flares of skin manifestations. Therefore, balneotherapy at Kusatsu can be useful for the treatment of refractory cases of adult-type atopic dermatitis as a suitable method of skin care.

平成2年6月からの5年間に46例のアトピー性皮膚炎患者(男性31例,女性15例,25±11歳)に対して,草津温泉療法(40~42℃,1回10分,1日1~2回)を3~28週行った.その泉質は酸性(pH2.0)-アルミニウム-硫酸塩・塩化物温泉である.32例(70%)で皮膚症状が改善し,さらにそのうち18例で掻痒も改善した.皮膚症状の改善は血清LDHの有意な低下でも裏付けられた.皮膚症状改善例のうち,温泉療法前に皮膚表面に多数の黄色ぶどう球菌が検出された15例では,温泉療法後に13例で消失,2例で減少した.この草津温泉療法による皮膚症状の改善機序として,皮膚病変の増悪因子である黄色ぶどう球菌に対する酸性温泉水の殺菌作用が推定される.

平成元年1月から同7年6月までの6年6カ月間に当院に入院した急性心筋梗塞患者31例 (旅行者15例, 草津在住者16例) 及び脳梗塞患者40例 (旅行者15例, 草津在住者25例) について, その発症における温泉浴の関与を検討した. 発症前24時間以内に温泉浴を行った急性心筋梗塞患者15例 (旅行者9例, 草津在住者6例) 中12例 (旅行者6例, 草津在住者6例) は温泉浴開始後3時間以内の発症, その内8例 (旅行者4例, 草津在住者4例) は1時間以内の発症であった. また, 発症前24時間以内に温泉浴を行った脳梗塞患者27例 (旅行者11例, 草津在住者16例) 中15例 (旅行者9例, 草津在住者6例) は温泉浴開始後3時間以内の発症, その内10例 (旅行者6例, 草津在住者4例) は1時間以内の発症であった. なお, 入浴中の発症は急性心筋梗塞2例 (旅行者1例, 草津在住者1例), 脳梗塞2例 (旅行者1例, 草津在住者1例) であった. 急性心筋梗塞の時刻別発症頻度と温泉浴開始後発症までの時間には旅行者と草津在住者で大きな差異は見られなかった. 脳梗塞の時刻別発症頻度は旅行者で6時から12時まで, 草津在住者で18時から24時までの時間帯でやや少ない傾向が認められ, 温泉浴開始後発症までの時間は草津在住者で3時間以上が多かった. ほとんどの症例で1~4の危険因子 (高血圧症, 高脂血症, 高尿酸血症, 糖尿病, 喫煙, その他の既往疾患) が認められたが, 旅行者と草津在住者, 温泉浴の有無の比較では明らかな差異は見られなかった. 温泉浴開始後短時間内にこれら血栓性疾患が発症する要因として, 血圧, 心拍数, 血液粘度, 線溶活性並びに血小板機能などの一過性の変化が推定される. また, 私達は既に20時の温泉浴が夜間の血圧をより低下させ, さらに翌早朝の血液粘度の上昇をより急激にすることを報告したが, 真夜中や午前中の発症にはそのような機序の関与も考えられる.

To clarify possible involvement of hot spring bathing in the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction at Kusatsu, its effects on blood pressure, heart rate, plasma cortisol and hematocrit were examined in 9 healthy young men. Abrupt increase in systolic blood pressure was observed immediately after starting a 3-minute 47°C or a 10-minute 42°C hot-spring bath. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were abruptly decreased one minute after completing either 47°C or 42°C bathing. The heart rate was increased gradually after the start of either 47°C or 42°C bathing and was decreased gradually after the completion of either 47°C or 42°C bathing. It was considered that the plasma Cortisol level was increased 15 minutes after starting 47°C bathing and the hematocrit was increased 15 minutes after starting 42°C bathing. We have already reported that fibrinolytic activity was decreased and platelet function was activated by 47°C bathing. Taken together, it is suggested that the mechanism of the occurrence of thrombotic diseases after hot spring bathing may be explained by considering transient changes in blood pressure, heart rate, blood viscosity, fibrinolytic activity and platelet function induced by hyperthermal stress.

水治療の対象者は血栓性疾患の危険因子を有する場合が多い.水浴と血栓性疾患との関連性を研究する目的で,入浴負荷可能な健常成人男性10例を対象として40℃20分浴と42℃10分浴の血小板および凝固線溶系に及ぼす影響を検討した.40℃20分浴では組織プラスミノーゲン活性化因子抗原(tPA)が増加し,プラスミノーゲン活性化因子インヒビターI抗原(PAI-I)が減少する傾向が,42℃10分浴ではHt,tPA,PAI-Iが増加する傾向が見られたが有意な差ではなかった.血小板に対する影響はなかった.以上の成績から40~42℃の水温による水治療は血小板および凝固線溶系には影響を与えないと考えられた.

Effect of carbon dioxide bath on cardiovascular functions and peripheral circulation were studied using a new system of carbon dioxide bath. The subjects consisted of 13 males and 17 females, ranging from 50 to 84 years old, 67.4±8.3 in average, having the complaints resulting mainly from arteriosclerosis such as coldness on extremities or exertional pains of lower extremities. Each subject took a bath in plain water (PW) on the first experimental day and then a bath in carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) at the same time on the second experimental day. Both baths were done for 10min. at 39°C of water temperature. The results obtained were as follows.<br>1) Mean blood pressure (MBP) was elevating during bath and lowered below prebath level immediately after bath in both PW and CO<sub>2</sub> groups. However, MBP in CO<sub>2</sub> group was lower significantly (p<0.05) than in PW group 20 and 30min after bath.<br>2) Both body and skin temperatures were similarly elevated at all points to be measured directly after bath, and then lowerd gradually thereafter. There was no significance in changes between both groups.<br>4) An increase in cutaneous blood flow was observed at the same grade in both groups during and after bath, though no showing significant difference between both groups.<br>5) PO<sub>2</sub> in venous blood increased after bath, while PCO<sub>2</sub> decreased. However, no significant difference in these changes was observed between both groups.<br>6) Tendency to increase in CV R-R was observed during and after bath, though no significant difference was showed between both groups.<br>7) Relating to the feeling to bath, all subjects had the feeling of "warmness" at the beginning of bath and also of comfortableness during and after bath in both PW and CO<sub>2</sub> groups. However, there was no difference in the intensity of these feelings between both groups.<br>8) No side reaction due to an inhalation of carbon dioxide during bath was observed in all subjects.<br>From these results, it is expected that a new carbon dioxide bath results in benefit for patients with disturbance of peripheral circulation.
