    Abstract Bile acids are major components of bile; they emulsify dietary lipids for efficient digestion and absorption and act as signaling molecules that activate nuclear and membrane receptors. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a receptor for the active form of vitamin D and lithocholic acid (LCA), a secondary bile acid produced by the intestinal microflora. Unlike other bile acids that enter the enterohepatic circulation, LCA is poorly absorbed in the intestine. Although vitamin D signaling regulates various physiological functions, including calcium metabolism and inflammation/immunity, LCA signaling remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of the oral administration of LCA on colitis in a mouse model using dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Oral LCA decreased the disease activity of colitis in the early phase, which is a phenotype associated with the suppression of histological injury, such as inflammatory cell infiltration and goblet cell loss. These protective effects of LCA were abolished in VDR-deleted mice. LCA decreased the expression of inflammatory cytokine genes, but this effect was at least partly observed in VDR-deleted mice. The pharmacological effect of LCA on colitis was not associated with hypercalcemia, an adverse effect induced by vitamin D compounds. Therefore, LCA suppresses DSS-induced intestinal injury in its action as a VDR ligand.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of pre-bedtime blue-light exposure on ratio of deep sleep and sleep quality. In this study, 11 healthy young men were exposed to three conditions for 1 h before bedtime: 1) incandescent light, 2) blue-light, or 3) blue light-blocking glasses on. The following morning, subjective sleep quality was measured using the Oguri-Shirakawa-Azumi Sleep Inventory. Sleep time, ratio of sleep, ratio of deep sleep, and body movements during sleep were measured using a mat sleep-scan (sleep scan, SL- 504; TANITA Corp., Japan) and an ambulatory portable sleep study system (LS-140; Fukuda Denshi Co. Ltd., Japan). Ratio of deep sleep was significantly decreased in the blue-light exposure group compared to the groups with incandescent light and blue light-blocking glasses (p < 0.01), There were no differences noted in sleep time or body movements among the three groups. These results suggest that blue-light exposure to affects sleep quality by reducing the ratio of deep sleep.

    Abstract It is known that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease experience dyspnea during unsupported arm exercise (UAE). We examined the respiratory variables in during a hair-washing motion for healthy young people requiring the UAE to find the effects across gender, motion, and speed. In this study, 33 healthy young people were enrolled. Participants performed the following four types of hair-washing motions: both hands with fast speed, both hands with slow speed, one hand with fast speed, and one hand with slow speed.

    Abstract Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is an environmental pollutant produced by combustion processes and is present in grilled foods as well as in tobacco smoke. BaP acts as an agonist for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), and is metabolized by AHR-inducing enzymes. BaP metabolism can result in either detoxification or metabolic activation, the latter leads to an increased risk of disease, particularly lung cancer and cardiovascular disease, in a context-dependent manner. Although AHR activation has been thought to protect against inflammatory bowel disease, it remains unknown whether BaP exerts a protective or deleterious effect on colitis. In this study, we examined the effect of oral BaP administration on colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in mice, an animal model of inflammatory bowel disease. BaP administration attenuated weight loss, shortening of the colon, disease activity index scores, and histological damage in DSS-induced colitis mice. BaP also suppressed colonic expression of inflammation-associated genes and plasma interleukin-6 secretion induced by DSS treatment. BaP-DNA adduct formation, a marker of BaP metabolic activation, was not enhanced in the colon after DSS treatment. Thus, oral BaP exerts an anti-inflammatory effect on DSS-induced colitis, without the toxicity associated with metabolic activation. The results provide insights into the disease-specific roles of BaP.

    Abstract Abstract It is known that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease experience dyspnea during unsupported arm exercise (UAE). We examined the respiratory variables in during a hair-washing motion for healthy young people requiring the UAE to find the effects across gender, motion, and speed. In this study, 33 healthy young people were enrolled. Participants performed the following four types of hair-washing motions: both hands with fast speed, both hands with slow speed, one hand with fast speed, and one hand with slow speed. The respiratory variables such as oxygen uptake ($${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ O2), carbon dioxide output ($${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ CO2), and respiratory rate (RR), or minute ventilation ($${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ E) were measured. Regarding $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ O2, $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ CO2, and RR during the rest period and in each motion, $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ O2 and $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ CO2 in males were significantly greater than those in females. RR in the female participants had greater value than that in males. Among the maneuvers, $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ O2, $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ CO2 or $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ E during a hair-washing motion with both hands were greater than those during hair-washing motion with one hand. $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ O2, $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ CO2, RR, or $${\dot{\text{V}}}$$ V˙ E during a hair-washing motion with both hands fast speed was greater than those during a hair-washing motion with slow speed. In conclusion, this study showed the effects owing to the differences in motion maneuvers and gender during UAE in healthy young people. These suggest a need to consider motion maneuver or gender when teaching motion methods of activities of daily living on the patients.

    Abstract The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a nuclear receptor that mediates the biological action of the active form of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ [1,25(OH)₂D₃], and regulates calcium and bone metabolism. Lithocholic acid (LCA), which is a secondary bile acid produced by intestinal bacteria, acts as an additional physiological VDR ligand. Despite recent progress, however, the physiological function of the LCA−VDR axis remains unclear. In this study, in order to elucidate the differences in VDR action induced by 1,25(OH)₂D₃ and LCA, we compared their effect on the VDR target gene induction in the intestine of mice. While the oral administration of 1,25(OH)₂D₃ induced the
