We examined the effects of superficial and deep acupuncture on the neck and shoulder stiffness. The aim of this study was 1) to clarify whether muscle hardness and surface EMG under slightly flexed neck position are useful as objective index of the muscle tone 2) to compare the effects of acupuncture in different depths (superficial and deep) on the muscle hardness, surface EMG and deep hemodynamics.10 healthy subjects participated. Two modes of acupuncture, deep muscle stimulation and subcutaneous acupuncture insertion were performed at the neck and shoulder. Both of the superficial and deep acupuncture were left for 10 minutes.As a result, there was a good correlation between muscle hardness and surface EMG under slightly flexed neck position (p<0.01). The integrated EMG was significantly decreased by the superficial acupuncture (p<0.05).On the other hand, muscle hardness was significantly reduced by both of the superficial acupuncture and deep acupuncture (p<0.05).Furthermore, the oxyHb was increased by the superficial acupuncture (p<0.05).These results suggested that the superficial acupuncture has a greater efficiency than the deep acupuncture on neck and shoulder stiffness under slightly flexed neck position.

In Japan, balneotherapy is now on fashion as one of complementary therapies. Nevertheless, in the ageing society, we are facing to needs in relation to evidence-based health care on every direction. This paper reviews current articles on the use of balneotherapy in health care.We made a systematic review on related articles in the Medline and Cochrane Library database from 1966 to 2005 that included randomized controlled and non-randomized clinical trials using balneotherapy. We also tried to classify spas in determining the chemical composition and their health effects. Ten kinds of spas (acidic, salty, sulfur, magnesium, carbon dioxide, arsenical-ferruginose, selenium, radon, sulfate, bicarbonate) were classified, and three disorders such as skin, joint/muscleskelton and circulatory system have been mainly treated by balneothrapy. In half of articles, randomized controlled trial appeared as the comparative method.In future, certain developed methods are requested to investigate effects of spas consisting of huge diversity of chemical content.

Artificial CO2-bath was prepared with a tablet (50g): made from sodium bicarbonate and succinic acid, putting simply in plain water bath tub of 100-200 litre at 40C.The effect of artificial CO2-bath was studied in relation to the change in blood lactic acid which is thought to be indicative of the physical fatigue.It has been clearly demonstrated experimentally using rats that the blood lactic acid after exercise is significantly reduced as compared both to a plain and an artificial Na2 SO4-NaHCO3 bathing.A favorable effect of the artificial CO2-bath was also confirmed clinically by a relief from the stiff pain following maximal abdominal muscle exercise.

The purpose of this study was to eliminate factors of accidents during Japanese style bathing of the elderly.We investigated the age-related changes in cardiovascular and thermoregulatory function in response to the bathing at 40°C. We measured the blood pressure and the heart rate using an automatic spygmomanometer, the skin blood flow at the forearm using laser Doppler flowmetry, the tympanic temperature using a thermistor, and the sweat rate at dorsum manus using the ventilated capsule method during bathing at 40°C for 20min in 10 aged (73.5±8.4, mean±SD) and 10 young subjects (19.8±1.8).Aged subjects failed to maintain a stable blood pressure during the immersion in the bathtub. While the heart rate during the bathing significantly changed in the young subjects, no change was observed in the aged subjects. Skin blood flow, tympanic temperature, and sweat rate increased during the bathing for both in the aged and the young subjects, though with smaller changes among aged subjects.These findings suggest that the adaptability of cardiovascular and thermoregulatory functions to heating and hydrostatic pressure during Japanese style bathing decreases with age.

We plotted the distribution of long-lived persons derived from the national register of long-lived persons as of fiscal years of 1980 (N=1, 349) and 2000 (N=17, 740) prepared by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to investigate various factors such as medical climatology and geography on healthy aging. The data were plotted on a map of Japan classified into various living environments, such as coastal areas, forests, and mountainous areas. In addition, we investigated universal elements and transforming elements through year-by-year comparisons over a period of 20 years. Japan was divided into nine climatic districts Hokkaido, the Japan Sea area, the Pacific Ocean area, the Sanriku district, the Tokai district, the inland district, the Seto Inland Sea district, the Northern Kyushu district, the Nankai district, and the South-western Islands.Consequently, we found a common trend that relatively warm climates and climates in coastal areas are favorable for longevity. However, the following trends were also recognized as transforming elements that cannot be ignored: 1. A remarkable improvements in the rate (number of long-lived people per 100, 000 population) in cold climate regions, i.e., the Japan sea area, inland area, and Hokkaido; 2. A remarkable shift of higher rates from coastal areas, which are contaminated by industrial plants, to inland flat areas.As a result, it has become clear that research on factors of healthy aging, especially in cold climate regions, have to be made in the future.

ObjectiveSeventeen patients with FMS were treated with balneo-Morita therapy, which combines the balneotherapy with Morita therapy. After one year of treatment, patients with favorable outcome were compared with those with poor outcome.Subjects and methodsThe mean treatment period was 4.3 weeks. The outcome after one year of treatment was assessed. Patients who were able to return to work without a relapse of FMS were classified into the responsive group (13 cases, 74.6% in all), and those who showed a relapse or were not able to return to work were classified into the unresponsive group (4 cases, 23.5%). The cases of these two groups were compared in terms of biological (physical), psychological, social and existential status induvidually.ResultsThere was no significant difference in sex or age distribution between the two groups. In terms of disease entity, FMS can be classified into psychosomatic type (hyperadaptation type) and neurotic type (possible presence of psychosocial-existential problems which are difficult to resolve such as great trauma, or the conditions ranging from neurosis to psychosis). Cases of neurotic type were prevailing in the unresponsive group. Patients were assessed to find out in which of the particular features of biological, psychological, social and existential aspects the notable problems proper to each patient lie.The number of patients having psychological problems was higher in the unresponsive group, with a significant difference. In one case of the unresponsive group, the condition changed into ME/CFS (myalgic encephalopathy/chronic fatigue syndrome).DiscussionIn the treatment of these patients, the somatic approaches or physical therapy such as pharmacological therapy or simple balneotherapy, should be given more importance for cases of the psychosomatic type. However, psychological therapy should be added to this treatment for cases of neurotic type. The efficacy of the balneo-Morita therapy was compared between the groups as classified by the type of the disease. The therapy was effective in 91.6% of the cases of psychosomatic type, while the efficacy rate was 40.0% for cases of neurotic type. During the period of the balneo-Morita therapy, a tendency of dependency on therapists may appear in patients. Although involution may be allowed transiently for the purpose of introducing catharsis, autonomy should be enhanced eventually. Yuatari (balneo-phenomenon, or balneo-intoxication) is a phenomenon, that develops in psychosomatic confusion resulting from sudden release from tension after the start of balneotherapy. This phenomenon is regarded as catharsis, from which patients are encouraged to establish a new self. Through this therapeutic experience, the therapists lead the patients from involution to autonomy without being so instructed, finally to cause a change in the way of living. In cases of psychosomatic type, this conversion was relatively easily achieved, but in cases of neurotic type such conversion was difficult. It is considered that difficulty in such conversion is attributable to psychological factors of patients (strength of self, severity of trauma, presence or absence of meaning, autonomy).

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.

【背景と目的】温泉の効果の一つに温熱作用がある.この効果は体温を上昇させ,体温調節機能が作動し,血流量の増大を引き起こす.今回,これらの変化が,浴槽の大きさ,温泉の泉質によるものかを検討した.  【方法】成人健常男性10名(平均年齢25.2歳)を対象として10分間42°Cの入浴を実施した.実施は,大浴槽(約1700L:アルカリ性単純温泉)と家庭浴槽(約300L:温水,0.1%人工塩化物泉)を用いた.測定項目は,深部体温「深部温モニターコアテンプ CM-210」と最高動脈血流速度「超音波血流計スマートドップ45」とし,それぞれの値を入浴中10分目,後安静10分目,20分目,30分目で比較し,さらに各条件で前安静値からの変化を求めた.  【結果】入浴10分目で深部体温と最高動脈血流速度の上昇値は,大浴槽の温泉が家庭浴槽での値に比べ,有意な高値を示した.また,大浴槽の温泉の深部体温は入浴3分目から有意に上昇した.後安静での深部体温は,大浴槽の温泉は15分間,家庭浴槽の人工塩化物泉は16分間,温水は13分間有意な上昇が維持された.  【考察】温泉大浴槽の方が家庭浴槽に比べて,深部体温上昇,最高動脈血流速度が大きかったのは,大浴槽では豊富な湯量により湯温の下降を妨げ,家庭用浴槽での深部体温上昇が継続されたのは,人工塩化物泉が体温上昇を維持させたと考える.

Thirty six intact and hypophysectomized rats were treated with acupuncture or moxibustion, 3 times on each site: “Chukan”, “Shinchu” and “Jinyu”.Three hours after the treatment eosinophil leucocyte counts in peripheral blood, adrenal weight, adrenal ascorbic acid and cholesterol contents of the animals were determined.Results obtained were as follows.1) In the intact group, both treatments decreased eosinophil counts remarkably but adrenal weight was not significantly influenced.A considerable diminution in ascorbic acid content was seen in the group of acupuncture but a decrease in cholesterol content proved rather remarkable in the group of moxibustion.2) Even in the hypophysectomized animals following results were observed: eosinophil leucocytes decreased slightly after acupuncture, adrenal weight showed a tendency to decrease, ascorbic acid and cholesterol were diminished by both treatments, especially by acupuncture.3) From these experiments it was concluded that acupuncture was more effective to stimulate the adrenals than moxibustion under the above mentioned erprimental condition.4) The authors proved that acupuncture and moxibustion could influence the adrenals even not via pituitary.

PurposeIn recent years, relatively high humidity (100%) and low temperature (40°C) sauna systems called mist saunas have become popular for homes. It is reported that the impact of differing bathing conditions-namely tub bathing and mist sauna bathing-on the circulation of blood in the scalp have been verified in order to clarify the effects of mist sauna on scalp hair: a characteristic of concern to many men.MethodThe testing was performed on 8 healthy men in their twenties (average age: 23.6, average weight: 61.8kg, average height: 166cm). Bathing conditions were mist sauna at 40°C for 10 minutes and full body bathing at 40°C for 10 minutes. Blood circulation in the scalp was observed at the top of their heads using a laser Doppler blood flow meter attached to head gear. At the same time, the skin temperature and local perspiration on their foreheads were measured.Results and conclusionsImmediately after beginning bathing, the blood flow rose significantly higher during full body bathing than during the mist sauna. No change was observed as full body bathing continued, but during the mist sauna, the blood flow gradually increased until ultimately the blood flow was much higher during the mist sauna than during full body bathing. Based on this result, it is assumed that the increase of scalp blood flow during full body bathing was caused by hydrostatic pressure, and the increase caused by the mist sauna was the result of the heat effects.

Dry skin causes many skin disorders such as dry dermatitis. It requires a lot of time and medication to treat patients with skin disorder that cover a vast skin area. Although glycerin is a component of many skin care creams and cosmetics, there is no report regarding the effects of glycerin alone as a bathwater additive. We investigated the effects of bathing in warm water with added glycerin on skin conditions and the prevention of skin disorders in patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities.Two studies were conducted to analyze the effects of a glycerin+warm water bath (GWWB). In study 1, the skin conditions in a total of 18 subjects were compared between the glycerin group (G) and nonglycerin group (NG). In the G group, skin moisture, skin pH, and skin sebum were measured with a skin analyzer noninvasively at the forehead and precordial and lateral forearm after GWWB for approximately 6 months. Subjects in the 2 groups had bathed 2 times per week and were immersed in warm water at 40 to 41°C for 2 to 3min. In the G group, 250ml glycerin was added in a 14001 bathtub. In study 2, a total of 78 subjects were examined retrospectively; their medical records after GWWB for approximately 6 months were investigated to gain information regarding cutaneous diseases (number of diagnosis, drugs, areas affected with cutaneous diseases, and days of treatment) in order to compare the G and NG groups.Skin moisture levels at forearm improved significantly (p<0.05) in the G group. The average skin moisture level in other areas was higher in the G group than in the NG group but without sig nificance. Skin sebum levels at the forehead improved significantly (p<0.05) in the G group. The number of diagnosis, drugs, and areas with cutaneous disease were significantly lower in the G group than in the NG group. Further, the average number of treatment days was lower in case of the G group than in case of the NG group but without significance.The moisturizing effects are produced due to a thin film formed by glycerin after GWWB, especially in an area where there is friction between the skin and clothes. Skin sebum is also maintained due to glycerin-film formation.It is possible that maintenance of skin moisture protects the skin from cutaneous diseases due to xerosis. In conclusion, these results indicate that GWWB maintains skin moisture and sebum and prevents skin disorders.

It was found that no effect of increase in dermal blood flow depended solely on HCO3- or CO32-, but on CO2 gas dissolved in water.The artificial CO2 bath was prepared with sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, mixing simply in plain water at 38-40°C.Thermal efficacy was confirmed by a rise in temperature of oral, finger tip and forehead respectively, and by a high transepidermal water loss (TWL) in consequence of increase in dermal blood flow, compared to a plain bathing.A remarkable effect in artificial CO2 bathing of 400-800ppm has been well-known clinically, however, a substantial increase in dermal blood flow has observed with artificial CO2-bathing of 59.8ppm or greater in this study, so that a CO2-bathing using the preparation would be popularized.

We previously reported the possibility that acupuncture stimulation to the Guangming (GB37) increased retinal blood-flow volume. In this study, we examined whether this reaction was peculiar to GB37 by measuring the blood-flow velocity and pulsatility index (PI) of the central retinal artery (CRA) with Color Doppler imaging. The points to be stimulated were the Waiqiu (GB36), GB37, the Yangfu (GB38) or the non-meridian point on the outside of the crus. Acupuncture stimulus was applied to one point on the right side with a needle for 15min. Seven measurements were made at intervals of 7.5min during a 45-minute period while the subject (control group n=35, stimulus group n=89) was in the sitting position. Patterns of the change in blood-flow velocity and PI with time differed significantly between the five groups. An increase in retinal blood-flow volume occurred in the GB37 group only suggesting there was a peculiarity related to the meridian point. The reaction patterns of the right and left eyes were not significantly different. Blood pressure and heart rate exhibited no significant differences either. These results suggest the relevance of choosing GB37 for improving or maintaining the retinal blood-flow volume.
