Objective sleep disturbance is associated with poor response to cognitive and behavioral treatments for insomnia in postmenopausal women

Study objectivesTo determine whether insomnia patients with objective sleep disturbance are less responsive to cognitive and behavioral treatments than those without objective sleep disturbance, characterize effects of insomnia therapy on objective sleep, and determine whether reductions in nocturnal cognitive arousal correspond to changes in objective sleep.MethodsSecondary analysis of a single-site, randomized controlled trial. 113 postmenopausal women (56.40 ± 5.34 years) with menopause-related insomnia disorder were randomized to three treatment conditions: cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI), sleep restriction therapy (SRT), or sleep education control. Primary outcomes were the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and polysomnography (PSG) sleep parameters and were collected at pretreatment, posttreatment, and six-month follow-up.ResultsPatients with lower pretreatment PSG sleep efficiency had lower rates of insomnia remission after active treatment relative to those with higher sleep efficiency (37.8% vs 61.8%). Neither CBTI and SRT produced clinically meaningful effects on PSG sleep. Exploratory analyses revealed that reductions in nocturnal cognitive arousal were associated with decreases in PSG sleep latency, but not wake after sleep onset.ConclusionsOur findings support an emerging literature suggesting that insomnia patients with objective sleep disturbance may have blunted response to insomnia therapy. Research is needed to enhance treatments to better improve insomnia in patients with objective sleep disturbance. A lack of observed CBTI and SRT effects on PSG sleep suggests that these therapies may be presently ill-designed to improve objective sleep. Nocturnal cognitive arousal may represent an entry point to improve objective sleep latency in insomnia.NameBehavioral Treatment of Menopausal Insomnia: Sleep and Daytime Outcomes.

大鼠腹侧被盖区多巴胺能神经元介导食欲素促进全麻后觉醒效应

目的:研究大鼠腹侧被盖区(VTA)多巴胺能神经元是否介导食欲素(orexin)的促进全麻后觉醒效应。方法:将兴奋性光遗传病毒注射至Hcrt-cre大鼠的orexin阳性神经元所在的下丘脑外侧穹隆周区(PeFLH),同时在VTA区注射抑制性化学遗传病毒及带有酪氨酸羟化酶(TH)-cre的混合病毒抑制多巴胺能神经元,并在VTA区植入光纤。观察通过化学遗传抑制VTA区多巴胺能神经元后,光遗传兴奋VTA区的orexin阳性神经投射终末是否仍能引起促进异氟醚麻醉后觉醒的效应。结果:与对照组相比,用化学遗传技术预先抑制VTA区多巴胺能神经元,阻断了光遗传兴奋VTA区orexin阳性神经投射终末所产生的缩短大鼠1.4%异氟醚麻醉后觉醒时间的作用;并阻断了光遗传兴奋VTA区orexin阳性神经投射终末所产生的降低大鼠1.4%异氟醚麻醉中脑电图爆发抑制率(BSR)效应。用Fos染色法验证了化学遗传法抑制多巴胺能神经元的可靠性。结论:抑制VTA区的多巴胺能神经元能够阻断兴奋大鼠VTA区orexin阳性神经末梢所产生的促进大鼠异氟醚后觉醒的效应,提示VTA区的多巴胺神经神经元介导了orexin调控VTA区产生的促进觉醒效应。     

The Clitoris—An Appraisal of its Reproductive Function During the Fertile Years: Why Was It,and Still Is,Overlooked in Accounts of Female Sexual Arousal

Stimulating the clitoris activates the brain to instigate changes in the female genital tract, namely, the enhancement of vaginal blood flow that increases vaginal luminal pO₂, vaginal transudate (lubrication) facilitating painless penile penetration and partial neutralization of the basal luminal acidic pH, vaginal tenting, and ballooning delaying sperm transport and allowing semen de-coagulation and capacitation (sperm activation) factors to act until arousal ends (often by orgasm induction). All these genital changes taken together are of major importance in facilitating the possibility of reproductive success (and thus gene propagation) no matter how or when the clitoris is stimulated—they reveal its overlooked reproductive function. Of course, also commensurate with these changes, is its activation of sexual pleasure. The clitoris thus has both procreative (reproductive) and recreative (pleasure) functions of equal importance. Clitoridectomy creates not only sexual disability but also a reproductive disability. Clin. Anat. 32:136–145, 2019. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

How yawning switches the default‐mode network to the attentional network by activating the cerebrospinal fluid flow

Yawning is a behavior to which little research has been devoted. However, its purpose has not yet been demonstrated and remains controversial. In this article, we propose a new theory involving the brain network that is functional during the resting state, that is, the default mode network. When this network is active, yawning manifests a process of switching to the attentional system through its capacity to increase circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), thereby increasing clearance of somnogenic factors (prostaglandin D(2), adenosine, and others) accumulating in the cerebrospinal fluid.

The effect of pain-related fear on sexual arousal in women with superficial dyspareunia.

The role of pain-related fear in the etiology and/or maintenance of superficial dyspareunia is still unclear. The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of pain-related fear on sexual arousal in women with superficial dyspareunia (n=48) and women without sexual complaints (n=48). To induce pain-related fear, participants were told that they had a 60% chance of receiving painful stimuli while being exposed to one of two erotic film clips. Genital arousal was assessed using vaginal photoplethysmography. Self-reported ratings of genital sensations and affect were collected after both erotic stimulus presentations. Elevated levels of skin conductance and higher ratings of experienced threat during the pain threat condition indicated that fear was successfully elicited. Pain-related fear impeded genital arousal in all women. Women of both groups reported significantly less positive affect and more negative affect when threatened. Although women with dyspareunia did not differ in their genital responsiveness from women without sexual complaints, they experienced overall significantly more negative affect than the control group. The present results indicate that pain-related fear reduces genital and subjective sexual responding in women with and without sexual problems.We conclude that emotional appraisal of the sexual situation determines genital responsiveness in both sexually dysfunctional and functional women.
