Role of the autonomic nervous system in young, middle-aged, and older individuals with essential hypertension and sleep-related changes in neurocardiac regulation Open
Essential hypertension involves complex cardiovascular regulation. The autonomic nervous system function fluctuates throughout the sleep–wake cycle and changes with advancing age. However, the precise role of the autonomic nervous system i…

Effects of mind-body exercise on body constitution and circadian rhythm in people with suboptimal health status Open
Background: Suboptimal health status (SHS) is a dynamic state in which people have not been diagnosed with a disease but tend to develop diseases. People with SHS are more prone to conditions such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic sy…

Neural mechanism facilitating PM2.5-related cardiac arrhythmias through cardiovascular autonomic and calcium dysregulation in a rat model Open
Particulate matter < 2.5 μm (PM2.5) exposure is associated with increased arrhythmia events and cardiovascular mortality, but the detailed mechanism remained elusive. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the autonomic alterations …

Dietary profile of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea patients, effects of routine educational counseling, and predictors for outcomes Open
Background Dietary behavior is a main contributing yet modifiable factor to the body weight status of children and may be involved in the pathophysiology of childhood obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study aimed to investigate the dieta…

Mouth Puffing Phenomenon and Upper Airway Features May Be Used to Predict the Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Open
IMP proportions were found to be higher in the half of participants whose ODI did not improve after mouth-taping and in those with severe OSA. Moreover, OSA patients with higher ODI, higher T90, and higher proportions of IMP were more like…

Using sleep heart rate variability to investigate the sleep quality in children with obstructive sleep apnea Open
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with impaired sleep quality and autonomic dysfunction. Adenotonsillectomy significantly improves subjective and objective sleep quality in children with OSA. However, the postoperative…

Older rats show slow modulation of hippocampal theta rhythm during voluntary running Open
Aging causes brain function degeneration and slows many motor and behavioural responses. The hippocampal theta rhythm (4-12 Hz) is related to cognition and locomotion. However, the findings on aging-related changes in the frequency and amp…
