概括
与被动全身加热或加热运动相比,局部皮肤加热显著增加了皮肤微血管反应. 光学连贯断层扫描 (OCT) 显示局部加热是微血管变化最强大的刺激.
科学领域:
- 身体生理学 身体生理学
- 生物医学工程 生物医学工程
- 皮肤病学 皮肤病学
背景情况:
- 光学连贯断层扫描 (OCT) 是一种非侵入性成像技术,用于可视化和量化皮肤微血管.
- 了解皮肤对不同热刺激的微血管反应对于温度调节和与热有关的疾病研究至关重要.
- 以前的研究没有直接比较皮肤局部加热与全身加热方法的微血管效应.
研究的目的:
- 使用OCT比较皮肤微血管对局部皮肤加热 (LH),被动全身加热 (PH) 和加热运动 (HE) 的反应.
- 测试假设LH会比PH或HE诱导更大的微血管变化,HE反应会超过PH.
主要方法:
- 十二名健康的年轻人接受了四种条件:基线 (33°C),LH,PH和HE在气候室 (40°C,50%RH50分钟).
- 在干预后立即使用OCT来测量微血管直径,速度,流量和密度.
- 进行了统计分析,以比较不同加热条件下的微血管反应.
主要成果:
- 微血管反应在不同条件之间显著不同 (P < 0.001).
- 与基线,PH和HE (所有P<0.001) 相比,LH引起了所有OCT测量的微血管变量 (直径,速度,流量,密度) 的最大增加.
- 虽然HE显示出直径响应略高于基线 (P = 0.046),但在其他OCT测量中,PH/HE和基线之间没有发现显著差异;PH和HE的响应是可比的.
结论:
- 局部皮肤加热显著提高皮肤微血管功能比被动全身加热或加热运动.
- 无论是被动运动还是加热运动,都会刺激皮肤微血管,但比局部加热的程度要小.
- 海外提供有价值的定量数据,以区分微血管适应各种热暴露类型的微血管适应.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress
14.7K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Quantifying Heat
62.0K
Thermal Energy Microscopically, thermal energy is the kinetic energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules. Temperature is a quantitative measure of “hot” or “cold”, which depends on the amount of thermal energy. When the atoms and molecules in an object are moving or vibrating quickly, they have a higher average kinetic energy (KE) (or higher thermal energy), and the object is perceived as “hot”, or it is described as being at a higher temperature. When the...

Responses to Salt Stress

Salt stress—which can be triggered by high salt concentrations in a plant’s environment—can significantly affect plant growth and crop production by influencing photosynthesis and the absorption of water and nutrients.

Stress Response System
864
The stress response system, also known as the fight-or-flight response, is the body's automatic physiological reaction to perceived threats. Hans Selye introduced the concept of General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) to describe the predictable pattern of changes that occur in response to stress. GAS consists of three sequential stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. This model helps explain how chronic stress can contribute to health problems.

Psychological Responses to Stress
677
Psychological responses to stress encompass the various cognitive and emotional reactions individuals experience when faced with challenging or threatening situations, such as a job loss. Prolonged exposure to stressors can disturb emotional balance, increasing negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and sadness) and diminishing positive emotions (e.g., joy and satisfaction). These persistent emotional shifts are associated with an increased risk of both physical illness and mental health issues, such...

Other Stress Responses in Bacteria

Bacteria have global regulatory systems that control several types of stress mechanisms. These include Pho regulon and the heat shock response, which are essential systems for environmental adaptation, such as nutrient limitation and proteotoxic stress. The Pho regulon and the heat shock response exemplify bacterial resilience, enabling rapid adaptation to fluctuating environmental conditions.Pho RegulonBacteria require phosphorus for essential cellular processes, including nucleic acid...
