The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of seismic intensity (SI) and sex difference upon schoolaged children's stress reactions induced by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and to suggest some guidelines for stress management education. Know Yourself Questionnaire (KYQ) was used to assess children's stress reactions after disaster. The stress scores of Anxiety, Depression, Distraction, and Humanity were compared between Nishinomiya (SI=7;566 boys and 491 girls), Osaka (SI=4;462 boys and 445 girls), and children in protective institutions (SI=7;244 boys and 153 girls). KYQ was applied at 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the earthquake for Nishinomiya and Osaka, and at 9 months after the earthquake for protective institutions as a stress management education program. Results show that (1) the effect of seismic intensity was significant in all stress reactions, (2) significant sex difference was found in all scores, i.e., Anxiety, Depression, and Humanity scores were higher in females, but Distraction was higher in males, (3) the effect of seismic intensity interacted with sex in Depression and Distraction,and (4) children in protective institutions showed more severe stress reactions than those in Nishinomiya. These results suggest that early intervention such as our stress management education is needed for children,not only after the earthquake but also before the earthquake.

我が国の65歳以上人口は2003年9月時点で総人口の19%であり,2015年には26.0%にのぼると予測されている.この高齢者人口の増加の影響は平均寿命の長命化の影響を受け,日常生活動作(Activity of daily living:ADL)水準の低い要介護度4や5などの,重度な介護を必要とする被介護者や,寝たきりの被介護者の増加につながると思われる.また,現在の高齢障害者の介護形態は,在宅療養の充実を目的とした事業展開を推進し,施設介護から在宅介護に移行していく方向にあるが,実際は,要介護度4,5の被介護者の半数以上が介護老人保健施設や特別養護老人ホーム等で介護を受けている状況である.さらに,家族による在宅介護能力を人口比率から見ると,65歳〜84歳の高齢者1人当りの成人介護適齢期女性(娘や嫁)の人口比率は,少子高齢化のために,1990年の1.298人から2005年には世界最低水準の0.77人,2015には0.588人と半減する.そのため,重度な介護を必要とする被介護者は在宅介護では限界をきたし,介護施設への入居が圧倒的に多くなることが予想できる.

The usefulness of twin studies as an approach to genetic study in the field of physiological anthropology is discussed. Twin studies are used to investigate the heritability of multifactorial traits, including physiological traits. The study of twins is also a powerful tool in molecular genetic studies, for example, in the detection of epigenetic differences between monozygotic twin pairs. The importance of a life-course approach is also discussed. However, a literature review showed that less than 5% of studies in physiological anthropology in Japan were genetic studies, and very few of these were twin studies. More genetic studies are expected to be performed in the field of physiological anthropology in the future.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the relation between the characteristics of emotional contagion and themirror system activity. Thirty-one university students participated in this experiment. Emotional vocalizations andvideo of hand reaching and grasping a cup were presented to the participants. Facial electromyography (EMG) asemotional contagion index was recorded while presenting emotional vocalizations. Mu rhythm desynchronization inelectroencephalogram (EEG) as mirror system activity index was recorded while presenting the video. The resultshows significant correlation between the activity of facial EMG and desynchronization of mu rhythm, suggesting aperson who is likely to be affected with emotional vocalizations also shows high mirror activity.

Japan faces issues associated with a super-aging society. Thus, extension of healthy life expectancy of patients through dietary modification is extremely important. However, the number of registered dietitians is not enough to improve the nutritional health of patients with personalized nutrition care because of the lack of profit from hospital nutrition divisions. We clarified the strategies to gain profit and relevant challenges by using the SWOT analysis to improve the dietary department of hospital subject to intervention. Data gathered indicate that the charge for subsidies for providing therapeutic diet, and nutrition and meal counseling should be increased. The results indicated that the cost of subsidies for providing therapeutic diet and nutrition and meal counseling should be increased. The results also suggested the necessity of reducing tasks with opportunity losses. A hospital with the system newly established has already realized the benefits of the measures implemented through the system. The system supports patients to take in the appropriate nutrients by increasing the number of registered dieticians and calculating the estimated energy requirement from the actual measurements of resting energy expenditure for personalized nutrition care.

Photophobia in migraine is a symptom with a dazzling light sensibility such as sun and room lighting at the time of headache attack, and the light may also cause headache attack. This paper proposes an optimal light environment for patients with migraine. It is pointed out that intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells for non-image-forming vision could be involved in the mechanism for photophobia of migraine as visual information from retina. The light environment suitable for patients with migraine can be low color temperature and low illuminance and should avoid the higher light component of blue light. Adjustment of the light environment for light-sensitive patients with migraine might possibly reduce headache attack.

We examined physical fitness adaptation after six weeks of snow shovelling using different types of shovels. Thirty-three subjects participated in this study and were divided two groups: normal shovel group and less-workload shovel (UD-shovel) group. Grip strength, vertical jump, 10 m obstacle walking, chair rising test, lactate threshold and body mass were measured before and after six weeks of snow shovelling. All measurements showed no significant differences between the groups. The chair rising test and ten meter obstacle walking were significantly at main effects. These values were higher in the after period than in the before period. But there were no significant differences at main effects in grip strength, vertical jump, lactate threshold and body mass. These results suggest that six weeks of snow shovelling may not affect upper body strength and aerobic capacity, but may affect lower body and muscle of trunk strength, power, agility, balance and coordination. These effects were not different if using normal shovels or UD-shovels.

The present study aimed at evaluating effects of different daily exercises on executive function (EF) and mental health in elderly individuals. The twenty-three elderly individuals including; inactive individuals (INACT, n = 9), bowlers (BOWL, n = 8), and runners (RUN, n = 6) were studied (55-64yr). The performance of EF was evaluated by the Stroop Color-Word test. The status of mental health was assessed by the use of questionnaire. The EF was significantly higher in the BOWL and RUN as compared to the INACT. The mental health status in the BOWL was significantly better than the INACT. The present study suggests that daily regular exercises such as bowling and running improve EF in elderly individuals, and in particular BOWL showed a well maintained status of mental health.

成人女性の多くは生理的変化や精神状態の変化を伴う性周期を有しており、近年この性周期に関連したタスクパフォーマンスの変動について注目されている。また今日、女性の社会での活躍は著しく、その職域も拡大していることから、女性の働く意欲と能力を存分に発揮できるような社会システムが要求されている。このような社会背景においても性周期に関連したタスクパフォーマンスの変動について明確にすることは重要なことのひとつと考えられる。性周期に関連したタスクパフォーマンスの変動についての先行研究は、特に身体的不快感や気分の変化といった愁訴の性周期変動もしくは性ステロイドホルモンの性周期変動に関連したタスクパフォーマンスの変動に注目した研究が行われている。性周期に伴う愁訴は月経随伴症状ともいい、一般的に月経前期に「憂鬱」や「いらいらする」などの精神症状や乳房痛などの乳房症状が出現する「月経前症状」と月経中に下腹痛や腰痛の出現する「月経時症状」がある。

It has been well known that far infrared rays radiated from ceramics fiber has thermal effect on humans. This study aimed to investigate if the fabric containing the ceramics fiber, with which the seat and back of chair (FIR) was covered, improve the problems of office workers such as neck - shoulder stiffness and cold sensation of the limbs as compared with non-ceramic fiber chair (BLANK). Ten healty male students (22.31±1.1year-old) volunteered for the study. The decrement of skin temperatures of the dorsal hand and foot at FIR was decreased. The activity of frontal muscle kept a resting level at FIR during mental work, but increased at BLANK and the enhancement of arousal level above optimum was also estimated from the increase in the inclination angle of the trunk at BLANK. It was suggested that FIR might keep the arousal level moderate and improve cold sensation of limbs.

In recent years, PC screens have become wider and larger. The nature of our visual field is that visual acuity is at its highest when someone is looking at the center of something, making the central part look the clearest. Thus, it is inferred that the size of the area that cannot be clearly seen will increase as screens become wider and larger. For this research, we prepared a 27-inch wide PC screen and a 19-inch standard screen, and then presented a task involving calculations as the main work in the center of the screen; furthermore, we prepared a secondary task to test reaction by having subjects respond to circular figures randomly displayed on the edge of the screen. Then, we investigated to what degree subjects were able to acquire graphical information displayed on the edge of the screen while they were focused on the center of the screen. The results showed that between the wide screen and the standard screen, there were no differences in the rate of correct answers for the calculation task displayed in the center of the screen; however, their reaction time on the right side (upper right, center right, lower center) of the screen was longer when they used the wide screen.

To prevent heat stroke, we aimed to clarify the relationship between core body temperature and physiological measurements during incremental load test under hot environment. Subjects exercised under hot environment (33°C for air temperature, 60% for humidity) with measuring rectal temperature and other physiological measurements. In results, the increase of heart rate correlated with not only increase of rectal temperature at the same point in time but also the value after 5 or 10 minutes. Our results suggested that heart rate was useful physiological value as related or estimated core temperature.

Even though it is experimentally known that playing video games causes fatigue, it is difficult to find such quantitative research. It is also known that video game scores improve by repeatedly playing the game. However, the skills acquired by video game players are not clear. This research aims to clarify the elements of fatigue and the skills acquired and improved by playing video games. Fatigue was measured by critical frequency of fusion (CFF). The skilled process associated with video games was measured by using video game scores. Two kinds of video game machines were used. This research confirmed that the CFF of game players decreased linearly after playing the games several times. The scores of video games also increased after playing the games several times. Moreover, game score improvements are described by professing equation in game scores.

This study examined the effect of listening to heart sound after stress on recovery period. Six healthy male university students gave their consent to participate in the measurement. The measurement consisted of three different sessions: (1) 5-min quiet baseline period, (2) 15-min stress period by mental arithmetic task, (3) 10-min stress period during exposure to heart sound or white noise. There was no statistical difference in any measured parameters between heart sound and white noise during recovery period. However heart sound tended to be more positive than white noise for recovery after stress. The order effect was observed only in the skin temperature during stress period.

The authors compiled the definitions of health so far given by WHO and other organs and researchers, and reviewed the concept of health in terms of physiological anthropology. The authors reached the conclusion that health is a state brought about by favorable relation between the environment and humans, as well as a state in which each individual can manifest innate abilities sufficiently. A more healthy environment thus needs to be created.

To evaluate the effects of mattress size on sleep feelings estimated by standardized OSA sleep inventory MA version and sleep quality measured by actigraph, eighteen healthy subjects (8 males, 10 females), aged 61-65, were recorded, sleeping in their homes for 15 consecutive nights under two crossover designed conditions from Friday. A subject slept for 7 consecutive nights (4 adaptation nights and 3 nights for analysis) on a 78cm wide mattress first and then for 8 consecutive nights (4 adaptation nights, 3 nights for analysis and excluded last night) on a 100cm wide mattress. The results showed the sleep on a 100cm mattress indicated better sleep quality and feelings.

We always diagnose migraine using the International Classification of Headache Disorders criteria (version 3). However, since this criteria depends on clinical symptoms and the pathophysiology of migraine is not fully understood, diagnosis sometimes differs between doctors. Hence, we investigate for an appropriate diagnostic biomarker of migraine using the omics approach—a comprehensive analysis of transcriptome, proteome, and genome. Dysfunctions of α-fodrin, apolipoprotein E, and GC-binding protein were found to be candidate biomarkers through proteome, transcriptome, and genome analyses, respectively. Although currently we cannot narrow down to one candidate biomarker, this can be subsequently achieved by evaluating a larger number of patients.

Relevance of decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) and impaired cognitive function has been pointed out, however, the direct relationship between changes in CBF and cognitive function has not been sufficiently elucidated. The purpose of this study was to determine whether cognitive function would be affected by the acute reductions in CBF in 14 male healthy students. Middle cerebral artery mean blood velocity (MCA V_<mean>) and cognitive function were measured at three conditions; rest (pre), reduced CBF condition (during), and CBF recovery condition (post). The reduction in MCA V_<mean> was elicited by voluntary hyperventilation induced-hypocapnia. Cognitive function was impaired with the reduction in MCA V_<mean>; i.e. reaction time at during hyperventilation condition was significantly longer than those of pre and post conditions (in conflict task; P<0.01). These results suggest that cognitive function may be affected by acute change in MCA V_<mean> by hyperventilation.
