Three groups of five male and five female students were exposed to different levels of auditory stimulation (no music or music played at 70 dB or 90dB) under naturalistic conditions and were permitted to avail themselves freely of a supply of soft drinks. Increasing auditory stimulation produced an increase in total consumption. Reported prior frequencies of soft drink consumption and of exposure to loud music had no bearing on the result of the experimental manipulation, suggesting that the effect was not due to previous history. 相似文献

Naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, has been shown to reduce the palatability of 10% alcohol solutions in rats, as measured by taste reactivity. In the present study, the effect of acute naltrexone treatment on taste reactivity to a variety of taste solutions and concentrations was tested to determine whether naltrexone has generalized effects on taste responsiveness. Thirty minutes before a taste reactivity test, rats were injected with either naltrexone (3 mg/kg; n = 15) or saline (n = 15). On separate days, rats were tested with distilled water and three concentrations each of sucrose (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 M), sodium chloride (0.06, 0.10, and 0.30 M), quinine hydrochloride (0.0005, 0.001, and 0.005 M), and alcohol [10%, 20%, and 40% (vol./vol.)]. In Experiment 1, naltrexone consistently reduced the palatability of alcohol and sodium chloride solutions (across concentrations), as reflected by a decrease in ingestive responding and an increase in aversive responding. Naltrexone increased aversive responding for sucrose but did not affect ingestive responding for these solutions. Finally, there was no significant effect of naltrexone on responding to quinine hydrochloride. A second experiment with naive rats and five concentrations of sucrose (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 M) replicated the initial data: Across concentrations, naltrexone produced a significant increase in aversive responding but did not alter ingestive responding. In Experiment 3, naive rats were tested with five concentrations of quinine hydrochloride (0.00001, 0.00005, 0.0001, 0.0005, and 0.005 M). Results indicated that naltrexone significantly altered taste reactivity to the bitter solutions (less ingestive responding and more aversive responding), particularly at the lower concentrations. The results indicate that naltrexone treatment has significant effects on taste reactivity to some aqueous solutions (alcohol, sodium chloride), regardless of solution concentration. The effects of naltrexone on sucrose and quinine reactivity are more difficult to describe because the drug effects seemed to be dependent on the specific measure examined (ingestive vs. aversive responses) and the concentration of the solution. These results support the suggestion that naltrexone has a fairly generalized effect on taste reactivity to taste solutions; specifically, naltrexone seems to make solutions more aversive, as revealed by a decrease in ingestive responding and an increase in aversive responding. 相似文献

Exposure to occupational loud noise has been previously identified as a possible risk factor for acoustic neuroma in only one relatively small (n = 86 cases) case-control study of men. The goal of the present study was to further examine the role of loud noise in acoustic neuroma etiology. In their population-based case-control study of both sexes conducted from 1999 to 2002 in Sweden, the authors compared reports on type and duration of occupational and nonoccupational loud noise exposure of 146 acoustic neuroma cases and 564 controls. Controls were randomly selected from the study base and were frequency matched on age, sex, and residential area. The authors found that individuals reporting loud noise exposure from any source were at increased risk for acoustic neuroma (odds ratio (OR) = 1.55, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04, 2.30). Exposure to loud noise from machines, power tools, and/or construction increased the risk for acoustic neuroma (OR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.11, 2.89), as did exposure to loud music (OR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.20, 4.23). The odds ratio for a latency period of 13 or more years since the first loud noise exposure from any source was 2.12 (95% CI: 1.40, 3.20). The findings of an increased risk of acoustic neuroma with loud noise exposure support previous research. 相似文献

The purpose of this experiment was to clarify the effects of exposure to music using headphones under noisy conditions on hearing. The most comfortable loudness (MCL) for three kinds of music (Rock, Popular, Japanese songs) decided by two normal hearing subjects was measured under 6 noisy conditions (Train, Subway, Tram, Bus, Underground, Street) in a soundproof room. In the same manner, the MCL of favorite tunes of five subjects were measured. Temporary threshold shift 2 min after exposure (TTS2) to music for 30 min at the highest MCL was obtained. Furthermore, the characteristics such as spectral structures in one-third octave band or level fluctuations (coefficient of variation) were obtained for noise and music and compared. Statistical analysis revealed that MCL in Street was significantly higher than under other conditions and there was no significant differences in MCL among the various types of music. However, the highest MCL was found for Rock. About 20 dB of TTS was observed in one ear and the hazardous of headphones use in noisy conditions was suggested. 相似文献

Listening to loud music has been associated, in a number of studies, with hearing loss and tinnitus among young people. However an unanswered question is whether or not these same young people want to have their music so loud. In our study 533 young men and 167 young women, in the age group 16 to 25, who were attending a vocational training centre, responded to a questionnaire and volunteered to have their hearing assessed. The questionnaire sought information on listening habits, on the kinds of events attended, on whether the music at these events was too loud or not, and if the respondents considered their hearing had been impaired. Analysis of this data indicated that 79% of the subjects attend discotheques, 52% pop and rock concerts, and 35% techno parties (e.g. raves). A significant number considered the music at these venues was too loud. Some 42% considered this was the case at discos, 35% thought pop and rock concerts too loud, and 39% held a similar view of techno parties. Conversely, fewer than 3% considered sound levels at these events to be too low. On the basis of the response to the questionnaire we estimate that over half the respondents (56.6%) have a sound exposure (L(eq)) from music of over 87 dB(A). It is not surprising therefore that 71% reported that they had suffered tinnitus following attendance at a music event. The hearing capacity of the sample was measured by audiometry. These measurements detected hearing loss in 11% of the 700 individuals tested. However it was not possible to show that the risk of hearing loss increased with increasing exposure to loud music. We conclude that young people neither demand nor require the excessive sound levels typical of most music events. 相似文献

The orofacial responses of rats following infusion of taste solutions were examined in two experiments. In the first experiment, naive rats were presented with a 6% alcohol solution and three sucrose mixtures (sucrose combined with quinine hydrochloride, hydrochloric acid, and sodium chloride, respectively) on separate trials and the resulting taste reactivity was examined. The only difference among the solutions was that alcohol elicited a significantly larger number of aversive responses (e.g., gapes, passive drips) than the sucrose mixtures. In the second experiment, naive rats were trained to avoid 6% alcohol using standard conditioned aversion procedures; rats were then tested for reactivity to the three sucrose mixtures and the alcohol solution. With the alcohol solution, trained rats displayed significantly fewer ingestive responses and significantly more aversive responses than control rats. The response of trained rats to the sucrose + quinine solution was similar to that of alcohol: fewer ingestive responses and more aversive responses than control rats. The number of aversive responses to the alcohol and the sucrose + quinine mixture by the trained rats did not differ significantly. Reactivity to the sucrose + hydrochloric acid and sucrose + sodium chloride solutions did not differ between trained rats and control rats. The results suggest that a sucrose + quinine solution has a perceived taste (as revealed by elicited orofacial reflexes) similar to alcohol and that the sucrose mixture is avoided by rats with alcohol aversions because it is unpalatable. 相似文献

In humans little is known as to whether taste solutions applied to the tongue elicit cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR). The aim of this study was to re-examine if any effect of different taste solutions on CPIR occurs. Under fasting conditions healthy human subjects sipped, and washed out their mouths with eight taste solutions (sucrose, saccharin, acetic acid, sodium chloride, quinine hydrochloride, distilled water, starch, and sodium glutamate) for 45s and spat them out again. The taste stimuli were not swallowed; they were applied in a randomized order, each on a separate day. Blood collection for determination of plasma glucose and plasma insulin concentrations was performed 3min before and 3, 5, 7 and 10min after taste stimulation. Ratings of quality, intensity and hedonic characteristics were also obtained. A significant increase of plasma insulin concentration was apparent after stimulation with sucrose and saccharin. In conclusion, the current data suggest that the sweeteners sucrose and saccharin activate a CPIR even when applied to the oral cavity only. 相似文献

Noise is a health risk. Recent findings suggest that leisure noise is a substantial danger especially to children, teenagers and young adults. Epidemiological studies of teenagers with no occupational noise exposure show an increasing number with a substantial and measurable irreversible inner ear damage. This is basically due to the wide spread exposition to very loud toys (pistols and squibs), crackers and exposure to electronically amplified music, e.g. from personal cassette players (PCP), at discos or concerts etc. Protection against irreversible ear damage by leisure noise has an important impact in preventive medical care. Therefore the general public must be informed that loud leisure activities may cause damage to the ear. In order to protect children, young people and adults, the legislature ought to set limits for sound levels in discos, concert halls and for music equipment and toys by establishing the necessary standards and regulations. 相似文献

This study aims to find out whether discotheque music affects hearing by exposing 48 young volunteers to discotheque music in discotheque sessions at two discotheques and evaluating their degree of auditory fatigue after exposure. Questionnaire interviews revealed that the majority of them visit discotheques regularly. A higher proportion of those attending the louder discotheque found the music too loud. The prevalence of tinnitus is also higher in those attending the noisier discotheque. The degree of threshold shifts, however, does not appear to be related to the volume of music or auditory fatigue. The noise level exposure was estimated to be 91 dBA to 98 dBA for weekly exposure and 85 dBA to 92 dBA for monthly exposure. To avoid hearing loss, patrons should avoid loud discotheques, or cut down their frequency of visits if they choose to continue patronising them. 相似文献

Prior research has demonstrated that rat pups perceive alcohol's orosensory consequences during an acute state of intoxication with the drug and are able to associate these orosensory stimuli with aversive reinforcement. The present two experiments tested whether the resulting conditioned aversion to ethanol orosensory consequences generalized to two basic tastants (sucrose or sodium chloride) and if ethanol's orosensory consequences were detected when this agent was configured with these tastants. Conditioned aversions to alcohol were expressed only in rejection of an intraoral infusion of an ethanol solution alone or ethanol in compound with sucrose (experiment 1). A sucrose aversion was recorded in pups that had been subjected to infusions of a sucrose-ethanol compound paired with aversive reinforcement. An aversion to sodium chloride was not induced, however, by analogous procedures (experiment 2). The results indicate that, as in adults, ethanol aversions do not generalize directly to sucrose alone or sodium chloride alone. The infant is, however, capable of detecting the drug in compound with sucrose, and an acquired aversion to ethanol can be transferred to sucrose through ingestion of a sucrose-alcohol compound. 相似文献

Little empirical evidence is available regarding the effects of road traffic noise on cognitive performance in adults, although traffic noise can be heard at many offices and home office workplaces. Our study tested the impact of road traffic noise at different levels (50 dB(A), 60 dB(A), 70 dB(A)) on performance in three tasks that differed with respect to their dependency on attentional and storage functions, as follows: The Stroop task, in which performance relied predominantly on attentional functions (e.g., inhibition of automated responses; Experiment 1: n = 24); a non-automated multistage mental arithmetic task calling for both attentional and storage functions (Exp. 2: n = 18); and verbal serial recall, which placed a burden predominantly on storage functions (Experiment 3: n = 18). Better performance was observed during moderate road traffic noise at 50 dB(A) compared to loud traffic noise at 70 dB(A) in attention-based tasks (Experiments 1-2). This contrasted with the effects of irrelevant speech (60 dB(A)), which was included in the experiments as a well-explored and common noise source in office settings. A disturbance impact of background speech was only given in the two tasks that called for storage functions (Experiments 2-3). In addition to the performance data, subjective annoyance ratings were collected. Consistent with the level effect of road traffic noise found in the performance data, a moderate road traffic noise at 50 dB(A) was perceived as significantly less annoying than a loud road traffic noise at 70 dB(A), which was found, however, independently of the task at hand. Furthermore, the background sound condition with the highest detrimental performance effect in a task was also rated as most annoying in this task, i.e., traffic noise at 70 dB(A) in the Stroop task, and background speech in the mental arithmetic and serial recall tasks. 相似文献

Noise exposure and hearing loss among student employees working in university entertainment venues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
OBJECTIVES: Most studies to date on sound levels in entertainment establishments have concentrated on exposure levels for the attending public, rather than employees who may be at greater risk of hearing loss. Of particular concern are young employees. The aim of this pilot study was to (i) estimate typical sound levels in different areas where amplified music was played, (ii) measure temporary threshold shift (TTS) and (iii) estimate the dependence of hearing threshold shifts on measured noise levels. METHODS: This study focused on students working part-time (up to 16 h/week) in music bars and discotheques in a university entertainment venue. All 28 staff were invited to participate in the study. Pre- and post-exposure audiometry was used to determine hearing threshold at both high and low frequencies. Personal dosemeters and static measurements were made to assess noise levels and frequency characteristics. A questionnaire was used to determine patterns of noise exposure and attitudes to noise levels and hearing loss. RESULTS: Of the 28 student employees working in the three areas, 14 (50%) agreed to take part in the study, giving 21 pre- and post-shift audiograms. The mean personal exposure levels for security staff were higher than those of bar staff, with both groups exceeding 90 dB(A). The maximum peak pressure reading for security staff was 124 dB. Although TTS values were moderate, they were found to be highly significant at both low and high frequencies and for both ears. Twenty-nine per cent of subjects showed permanent hearing loss of more than 30 dB at either low or high frequencies. The correlation between TTS and personal exposure was higher at 4 kHz than the low and high frequencies. CONCLUSIONS: Contemporary music may be an important yet little considered contributor to total personal noise exposure, especially amongst young employees. Employees need to be better informed of risks of hearing loss and the need to report changes in hearing acuity. Suggestions are made on strategies for improving the assessment of noise exposure in entertainment venues. 相似文献

In order to study noise levels associated with electronic arcade games, noise measurements were made in 3 selected game centers and 192 samples were taken in each location. The background noise was recorded at a level of 61 dB(A) and 64 dB(C). When the electronic games were performed these levels of noise reached to 88 approximately 90 dB(A). The 1/3 octave bands analyzing sound pressure levels showed that more intense noise levels arose in a frequency range between 0.5 and 2.0 kHz. The computed values for noise pollution levels (LNP) and L90 (fast response A-weighted sound level exceeded 90% of the measurement time) ranged from 93.3 to 96.6 and from 85.1 to 87.3 dB(A), respectively. Concerning our results and according to Melnic (1979), it was estimated that these levels of noise might cause 4-8 dB temporary threshold shift (TTS) at 4.0 kHz in an individual with less than one hour of exposure to such a level of noise. As for the employees of the 3 game centers, the 8-hr equivalent continuous sound levels (Leq,8) were in the range of 80.3 approximately 87.5 dB(A), although their exposure time could not be exactly determined. It was suggested that: 1) The maximum levels should be limited to a reasonable level, either by the manufacturers or by the game center owners; 2) Education programs in industry should inform the employees about other factors outside the work that may affect their hearing; and 3) For policy-making on hearing conservation, recreational warning and standards should be established. 相似文献

1. Studies of gastric function were made in preruminant calves fitted with a single abomasal cannula, re-entrant cannulas in the duodenum close to the pylorus and recording electrodes on the pyloric antrum and proximal duodenum. 2. Simultaneous measurements were made of gastric emptying of a saline (9 g sodium chloride/l) meal, myoelectric activity of antral muscle and plasma concentration of somatostatin in jugular blood whilst infusing the duodenum with different solutions. The duodenal infusates were isotonic sodium bicarbonate (300 mosmol/kg), hyperosmolar solutions of NaCl (1000 mosmol/kg), sodium carbonate (500 mosmol/kg), sucrose (1000 mosmol/kg), 41 g emulsified butterfat/kg or 60 mM-hydrochloric acid. 3. Infusing the duodenum with isotonic NaHCO3 stimulated intense myoelectric activity of the antral smooth muscle and rapid emptying of the test meal. In contrast, infusions of 60 mM-HCl reduced antral motility and inhibited gastric emptying of digesta. This inhibitory response to HCl infusion was related to a significant (P less than 0.05) increase of somatostatin in peripheral venous blood. 4. The Na2CO3 infusate, like HCl, inhibited gastric motor activity and digesta emptying, but the concentration of circulating somatostatin was only slightly elevated above pre-infusion levels. 5. Compared with the effects of infusing HCl, infusions of emulsified butterfat or hyperosmolar NaCl and sucrose induced a greater intensity of antral motor activity and faster outflow of gastric effluent, although not to the same extent as with isotonic NaHCO3. However, as with isotonic NaHCO3, these infusates did not evoke the release of somatostatin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to compare taste responses to sweet, bitter, sour and salty solutions in male alcoholics and control subjects. The groups did not differ in terms of rated intensity or pleasantness of sucrose (1-30%), quinine (0.001-0.005%), citric acid (0.02-0.1%) and sodium chloride (0.18-0.9%) solutions. The proportion of sweet-likers was also similar in both groups. 相似文献

Colon mucosal cell damage by ammonia in rats 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Colons of male Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused, in situ, with ammonium (NH4+) or sodium (Na+) and acetate (CH3COO-) or chloride (Cl-) to determine the effects of the cations and anions or their interactions on the colon mucosa. Solutions simulating ileal fluid were delivered at 0.4 mL/min at 38 degrees C via cannulae inserted at the cecal-colonic junction. Effluents were collected by cannulae inserted in the anus. In the first experiment, perfusion with the control solution or with the control solution having 35 mmol/L NaCl replaced by equimolar amounts of ammonium acetate, ammonium chloride or sodium acetate showed that only ammonium-containing solutions caused histological damage, loss of mucus, and significant losses of carbohydrate and DNA (P less than 0.05). The losses of carbohydrate and DNA expressed in microgram.cm-1.30 min-1 were as follows: control, 13.4 and 1.0; ammonium acetate, 31.8 and 1.6; sodium acetate, 16.0 and 0.6; ammonium chloride, 24.1 and 1.3, respectively. In the second experiment, perfusion with control fluid containing 35 or 70 mmol/L ammonium acetate at pH 6.8, 7.4 or 8.0 increased carbohydrate and DNA losses into the effluents compared with the pretest period (P less than 0.05), without significant effects related to influent pH. These studies are consistent with the concept that the life span of colon cells is shortened by concentrations of ammonia found in the colon under normal conditions and that ammonia enhances cell proliferation in the colon mucosa. 相似文献

In order to investigate whether the energy-equivalence principle is at least acceptable for exposures with a duration in the range of hours and in order to disclose the actual physiological responses to exposures which varied with respect to the time structure and the semantic quality of sounds, a series of tests was carried out where physiological costs associated with varying exposures were measured audiometrically. In a cross-over test design, 10 Subjects (Ss) participated in test series with 3 energetically equal sound exposures on different days. The exposures corresponded with a tolerable rating level of 85 dB / 8 h. In a first test series (TS I), the Ss were exposed to a prototype of industrial noise with a sound pressure level of 94 dB(A) / 1 h. In a second test series (TS II), the same type of noise was applied, but the exposure time of a reduced level of 91 dB(A) was increased to 2 hours. In a third test series (TS III), classical music was provided also for 2 h at a mean level of 91 dB(A). The physiological responses to the 3 exposures were recorded audiometrically via the temporary threshold shift TTS2, the restitution time t(0 dB), and the IRTTS-value. IRTTS is the integrated restitution temporary threshold shift which is calculated by the sum of all threshold shifts. It represents the total physiological costs the hearing must "pay" for the sound exposure. Physiological responses of the hearing to the industrial noise exposures in TS I and TS II, all in all, were identical in the 3 parameters. Maximum threshold shifts of approximately 25 dB occurred which did not dissipate completely until 2.5 h after the end of the exposure and IRTTS-values of about 800 dBmin were calculated. Therefore, at least for exposure times in the range of hours, the equilibration of intensity and duration of sound exposures according to the energy-equivalence principle seems to have no influence on the hearing. Classical music was associated with the least severe TTS of less than 10 dB which disappeared much more quickly. IRTTS added up to just about 100 dBmin and, in comparison with 800 dBmin as specific responses to industrial noise, amounted to only about 12%. The substantially lower physiological costs of classical music apparently indicate a decisive influence of the type of sound exposures. Making inferences from the results of the study, the conventional approach of rating sound exposures exclusively by the principle of energy equivalence can lead to gravely misleading assessments of their actual physiological costs. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to investigate possible gender differences regarding psychometric scales measuring risk perception in noisy situations, attitudes towards loud music, perceived susceptibility to noise, and individual norms and ideals related to activities where loud music is played. In addition the purpose was to analyze whether these variables are associated with protective behavior such as the use of hearing protection. A questionnaire was administered to a Swedish sample including 543 adolescents aged 16 to 20. The result revealed significant gender differences for all the psychometric scales. In addition, all psychometric measures were associated with hearing protection use in musical settings. Contrary to previous studies, gender did not contribute to any explanation of protective behavior by itself in the analysis. One conclusion is that although gender does not contribute by itself for the explanation of protective behavior, gender may affect psychological variables such as risk perception, attitudes and perceived susceptibility and that these variables may in turn be valuable for decision-making and protective behavior in noisy situations. Although women tend to be more 'careful' psychologically, they nevertheless tend to behave in the same way as men as regards actual noise-related risk taking. 相似文献
