Shiftwork causes several disorders, and determining the weight of each disorders is important for their prevention and treatment. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to use Analytic Network Process (ANP) to prioritize and weigh shift work disorders among the personnel of hospitals of Kerman University of Medical Sciences.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2017 among 300 shift work personnel of 10 public hospitals affiliated with Kerman University of Medical Sciences. ANP was used to prioritize and weigh shift work disorders. To this end, the criteria, sub-criteria, and alternatives were initially identified. Then, shift work disorders were categorized into 7 general criteria, 20 sub-criteria, and 3 alternatives. After designing the ANP and determining the effect of each criterion on the sub-criteria, the ANP questionnaire was developed and administered among the shift work personnel, who filled it out based on ANP.

With respect to the support staff, the major shift work disorders involved sleep disorders (0.252), digestive disorders (0.198), personal life disorders (0.168), and psychological disorders (0.164).

Moreover, the night shift had the most profound effect on shift work disorders among the personnel in the three groups. It was followed by the evening shift. Morning shift had the lowest influence on shift work disorders. Therefore, the schedules should be taken to prevent these complications in the shift workers.

The empirical evidence has approved that, in addition to stimulating the visual system, light elicits brain responses, which affect physiological and neurobehavioral human functions, known as the non-image forming (NIF) effects of light. As recent evidences have shown the positive effects of red or low correlated color temperature white light on alertness and performance, we investigated whether exposure to 2564 K light could improve subjective and objective measures of alertness and performance compared with 7343 K, 3730 K, and dim light (DL) conditions during the daytime. Twenty two healthy participants were exposed to the light while they were performing a sustained attention task and their electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) were recorded. Both 2564 K and 7343 K conditions significantly reduced EEG alpha-power compared with the DL and 3730 K conditions. Moreover, the 2564 K, 7343 K, and 3730 K conditions significantly reduced subjective fatigue, sleepiness and increased heart rate and performance compared with the DL condition.

Time-of-day performance effects are influenced by circadian phenotype (diurnal preference and chronotype-sleep-wake patterns), homeostatic energy reserves and, potentially, genotype, yet little is known about how these factors influence physiological effort. Here, we investigate the effects of time of day, diurnal preference, chronotype, and <i>PER3</i> (a circadian clock gene) genotype on both effort and performance in a population of Division I collegiate swimmers (n = 27). Participants competed in 200m time trials at 7:00 and 19:00 and were sampled pre- and post-trial for salivary α-amylase levels (as a measure of physiological effort), allowing for per-individual measures of performance and physiological effort. Hair samples were collected for genotype analysis (a variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in <i>PER3</i>). Our results indicate significant and parallel time-of-day by circadian phenotype effects on swim performance and effort; evening-type swimmers swam on average 6% slower with 50% greater α-amylase levels in the morning than they did in the evening, and morning types required 5-7 times more effort in the evening trial to achieve the same performance result as the morning trial. In addition, our results suggest that these performance effects may be influenced by gene (circadian clock gene <i>PER3</i> variants) by environment (time of day) interactions. Participants homozygous for the <i>PER3</i>^4,4 length variant (rs57875989) or who possess a single G-allele at <i>PER3</i> SNP rs228697 swam 3-6% slower in the morning. Overall, these results suggest that intra-individual variation in athletic performance and effort with time of day is associated with circadian phenotype and <i>PER3</i> genotype.</p>","PeriodicalId":15461,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Circadian Rhythms","volume":"16 ","pages":"8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5334/jcr.165","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36486930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that the central clock genes <i>ARNTL (Bmal), Per2</i> and <i>Per3</i>, and the peripheral clock genes <i>Rev-erb-α</i> and <i>ROR-α</i>, oscillate before and after differentiation, as does the expression of the neuronal differentiation markers <i>Hes5</i>, β-3-tubulin (Tubb3) and <i>Stra13</i>, but not <i>Neurod1</i>. Furthermore, the known clock-modulating compounds ERK, EGFR, Pi3K, p38, DNA methylation and Sirtiun inhibitors, in addition to <i>Rev-erb-α</i> ligands, modulate the expression of central and peripheral clock genes. Interestingly Sirtinol, Sirt1 and Sirt2 inhibitors had the greatest significant effect on the expression of clock genes, and increased <i>Hes5</i> and <i>Tubb3</i> expression during neuronal differentiation.

The antidepressant action of imipramine was analyzed using the forced swim test (FST).

Next, we analyzed the effect of chronic imipramine treatment. Rats received imipramine in the morning or in the evening for 2 weeks. The morning treatment resulted in larger effects in the FST than the evening treatment, and was effective at a dose that was ineffective when administered acutely. The levels of brain α-adrenergic receptors tended to decrease after chronic imipramine treatment.
