失眠的评估

失眠是困扰许多人的最常见的睡眠问题。失眠引起白天困倦、疲劳、情绪烦恼、工作效率下降，甚至可造成致命性的结果。虽然失眠发病率很高，但大多数失眠者并未被临床医生所识别。对失眠恰当的评估对患者非常重要。本文将回顾近年来对失眠评定方面的研究，内容包括睡眠史、自评方法、心理评估，心理生理评估、医学评估、多导睡眠图及其它睡眠评估方法。     

和胃安神方对失眠模型大鼠5-羟色胺、多巴胺及去甲肾上腺素水平的影响

目的：探讨和胃安神方对失眠模型大鼠下丘脑5-羟色胺（5-HT）、多巴胺（DA）和去甲肾上腺素（NE）水平的影响。方法：将60只雄性Wistar大鼠随机分为6组,即正常对照组、失眠模型组、地西泮组、和胃安神方低剂量组、和胃安神方中剂量组、和胃安神方高剂量组。采用酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）检测各组大鼠下丘脑组织5-HT、DA、NE的水平。结果：与正常对照组比较,失眠模型组大鼠5-HT水平显著下降,差异有统计学意义（P<0.05),DA、NE水平较正常对照组显著升高,差异有统计学意义（P<0.05);与失眠模型组比较,地西泮组、和胃安神方低剂量组5-HT、DA、NE水平差异均无统计学意义(均P>0.05);和胃安神方中剂量组、和胃安神方高剂量组5-HT水平均较失眠模型组显著升高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),DA、NE水平较失眠模型组显著下降,差异有统计学意义（P<0.05)。结论：和胃安神方治疗失眠症的疗效机制可能与调节脑内5-HT、DA、NE水平有关。     

Risk of insomnia and hypnotics use among emergency physicians

This study investigated the risk of insomnia and hypnotics use among emergency physicians. This cross-sectional study recruited physicians working in Taiwanese hospitals in 2015 and the general population as the participants. Data from 1,097 emergency physicians obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database were grouped into the case group, whereas 14,112 nonemergency physicians and 4,388 people from the general population were categorized into the control groups. This study used logistic regression and conditional logistic regression to compare the risks of insomnia between emergency and nonemergency physicians and between emergency physicians and the general population, respectively. The prevalence of insomnia among emergency physicians, nonemergency physicians and general population was 5.56%, 4.08%, and 1.73%, respectively. Compared with nonemergency physicians and the general population, emergency physicians had a significantly higher risk of insomnia. The proportions of emergency physicians, nonemergency physicians, and general population using hypnotics were 19.96%, 18.24%, and 13.26%, respectively. Among emergency physicians who used hypnotics, 49.77%, 25.57%, and 24.66% used only benzodiazepines, only nonbenzodiazepines, and both benzodiazepines and nonbenzodiazepines, respectively. Nonpharmacological interventions to improve insomnia and reminder of safe use of hypnotics to emergency physicians can serve as references for hospitals in developing health-promoting activities.     

My job impacts my sleep: signs and symptoms of insomnia among healthcare workers

Potential insomnia in healthcare workers is a public health concern as it may degrade the quality of patient care. We examined the prevalence of insomnia symptoms in healthcare workers and their perceived need for a sleep intervention. Participants were 62 nurses working full-time at a U.S. hospital. These nurses were asked about background characteristics, perceived stress, sleep concerns, and need for a sleep intervention. They also participated in 14-d ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and actigraphy sleep study. A qualitative analysis showed that the majority (92%) of participants reported at least one sleep concern with insomnia-related concerns being most prevalent (68%). Quantitative analyses indicated that those with insomnia-related concerns had higher perceived stress overall and lower EMA sleep sufficiency and sleep quality. Moreover, participants with insomnia concerns had shorter actigraphy-measured nap duration prior to non-workdays than those without. Nearly all (95%) expressed interest in participating in a sleep intervention; an online format and mindfulness contents were most preferred. Our results suggest a high prevalence of insomnia symptoms and a high interest in a sleep intervention in nurses. Information obtained from this study could be used to deliver a tailored sleep intervention for nurses whose role in public health is essential.     

慢波睡眠的药理学研究

睡眠有３种成分：浅睡眠、慢波睡眠（ｓｌｏｗｗａｖｅｓｌｅｅｐ,ＳＷＳ）和快眼动睡眠。提出催眠药物开发新构想,即ＳＷＳ是最重要的睡眠成分,选择性增加深睡眠的催眠药物最重要,它将对改善失眠,辅助治疗焦虑症、抑郁症和痴呆症具有重要意义。近十年研究进展包括：（１）腹外侧视前区结节乳头体可能是睡眠觉醒的中枢发生部位。基底前脑吻端ｐＧＤ２敏感性睡眠促进区参与睡眠调节;（２）生长激素释放激素、褪黑激素、ｐＧＤ２、ＩＬ１和腺苷均可增加ＳＷＳ。本系神经药理研究室关于ＳＷＳ的研究工作包括：（１）建立起家兔和大鼠睡眠成分自动分析系统（ａｕｔｏａｎａｌｙｓｉｓｓｌｅｅｐｉｎｇｓｔａｇｅｓｓｙｓｔｅｍｓ,ＡＳＳ）;（２）利用ＡＳＳ研究了免疫增强剂如转移因子、胞壁酰二肽、肿瘤坏死因子,以及５ＨＴ１Ａ受体激动剂和５ＨＴ２受体拮抗剂对睡眠成分的影响;（３）探讨５ＨＴ１Ａ受体、ＲＥＭ睡眠和５ＨＴ２受体间的关系。近十年睡眠调节的研究进展证明“构想”的可行性和正确性,并提示,在中枢可能存在免疫增强ＴＮＦ增多５ＨＴ更新率增加ＳＷＳ途径。激动５ＨＴ１Ａ自身受体与拮抗５ＨＴ２受体有类似效果,二者间有协同作用。开发选择性延长     

镇静催眠药依赖性失眠临床特征与从肝论治分析

为研究镇静催眠药依赖性失眠患者的临床特征，通过对670例服用镇静催眠药的失眠症患者的调查。发现此类患者的主要证候除睡不安稳外，还伴有头昏胀痛、心烦意乱、口干或口苦等十大症状；苯二氮卓类仍然是当今临床医师最常用的镇静催眠药，绝大部分患者对这些药品有依赖性；从肝论治法能在改善患者睡眠的同时，递减药量。
