    Effects of hot-spring bathing on plasma concentrations of diuresis-related hormones were examined. Four healthy males were asked to bath in either 47°C hot-spring water for 3 minutes (jikan-yu) or 42°C hot-spring water for 10 min. Plasma levels of human atrial natriuretic polypeptide (HANP), anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), aldosterone (ALD), and endothelin (ET) were measured at 0, 5, 15, and 30 minutes after the start of the immersion. A transient rise was found only in plasma HANP at 5 minutes in the 42°C bath, which may have been induced by the hydrostatic pressure. Plasma concentrations of ADH, ALD, and ET hormones showed no remarkable change.
    These results suggest that a few minutes of hot-spring bathing may have little influence on the amount of these hormones secreted.

    The effect of bathing with NY-008 (3-octylphthalide, a newly synthesized vasodilative compound) on skin temperature was examined. The subjects were 28 healthy male adults (22±4 years old). The group bathed for 10min in 40°C water containing 3ppm of NY-008. On alternate days, the group bathed similarly but without NY-008 (control bathing). Skin temperature (Ts), blood pressure, and heart rate (HR) were then measured in a room in which the ambient temperature was maintained at 24°C and relative humidity at 60%. To eliminate any effect of diurnal fluctuations in skin temperature, each subject bathed at the same hour each day. Measurements were performed in random order by the double-blind method. The mean values of Ts after bathing were slightly higher after NY-008 bathing than after control bathing, and a significant difference was noted 10min after bathing (p<0.01). There was no significant difference in systolic blood pressure between NY-008 bathing and control bathing. Diastolic blood pressure was slightly lower after NY-008 bathing. Mean blood pressure, measured 5 min after bathing, was significantly lower after NY-008 bathing than after control bathing (p<0.05). No significant difference was found in HR. These findings suggest that NY-008 bathing increases skin blood flow through vasodilation of skin vessels and lower peripheral resistance, and may have longer lasting warming effects than ordinary bathing.

    The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of water temperatures on respiratory regulation during head-out water immersion (HWI). A total of eight healthy young male and female subjects were immersed in water at temperatures of 25, 30, 36, 38, 40, and 42°C for 10 minutes, and breathing frequency, tidal volume, ventilation, oxygen consumption, heart rate, and sublingual temperatures were measured over a period of 40 minutes before, during, and after HWI at each water temperature. Both oxygen consumption and ventilation increased during HWI at any temperature. It was hypothesized that the increase in oxygen consumption at 25°C was due to the increase in tidal volume and that at 40 and 42°C was due to the increase in ventilation caused by the increase in breathing frequency. These results suggest that the respiratory regulation during HWI is closely related to the body temperature regulation in response to water temperatures.

    The effects of artificial alum bathing and sodium bicarbonate bathing on the surface tension of skin and sweat were examined.
    Before and after partial bathing in distilled water (control), alum solution, or sodium bicarbonate solution at 40°C for 10 minutes, the critical surface tension of skin was measured in a room in which the ambient temperature was maintained at 23°C and relative humidity at 50%. The mean value of critical surface tension decreased after the alum bathing at concentrations of 10, 100, and 1, 000ppm., but did not change after the control and sodium bicarbonate bathing.
    Alum solution, sodium bicarbonate solution, or sodium hydroxide solution was added to the sweat collected from the arm skin surface. Its surface tension was then measured in the same room as mentioned above. The mean value of surface tension increased after the sodium bicarbonate preparation and the sodium hydroxide preparation accompanying the increase in the pH value, but did not change after the alum preparation. The surface tension of sweat at pH 7.0 was significantly higher in the sodium bicarbonate preparation than in the sodium hydroxide preparation (p<0.05).
    These findings suggest that the alum bathing lowers the wettability of the skin surface and that the sodium bicarbonate bathing lowers the surface activity of sweat. It is suggested that both of these bathings change the skin surface condition and cutaneous function.

    Effect of carbon dioxide bath on cardiovascular functions and peripheral circulation were studied using a new system of carbon dioxide bath. The subjects consisted of 13 males and 17 females, ranging from 50 to 84 years old, 67.4±8.3 in average, having the complaints resulting mainly from arteriosclerosis such as coldness on extremities or exertional pains of lower extremities. Each subject took a bath in plain water (PW) on the first experimental day and then a bath in carbon dioxide (CO2) at the same time on the second experimental day. Both baths were done for 10min. at 39°C of water temperature. The results obtained were as follows.
    1) Mean blood pressure (MBP) was elevating during bath and lowered below prebath level immediately after bath in both PW and CO2 groups. However, MBP in CO2 group was lower significantly (p<0.05) than in PW group 20 and 30min after bath.
    2) Both body and skin temperatures were similarly elevated at all points to be measured directly after bath, and then lowerd gradually thereafter. There was no significance in changes between both groups.
    4) An increase in cutaneous blood flow was observed at the same grade in both groups during and after bath, though no showing significant difference between both groups.
    5) PO2 in venous blood increased after bath, while PCO2 decreased. However, no significant difference in these changes was observed between both groups.
    6) Tendency to increase in CV R-R was observed during and after bath, though no significant difference was showed between both groups.
    7) Relating to the feeling to bath, all subjects had the feeling of “warmness” at the beginning of bath and also of comfortableness during and after bath in both PW and CO2 groups. However, there was no difference in the intensity of these feelings between both groups.
    8) No side reaction due to an inhalation of carbon dioxide during bath was observed in all subjects.
    From these results, it is expected that a new carbon dioxide bath results in benefit for patients with disturbance of peripheral circulation.

    Clinical effect of a new TENS apparatus SOMA DYNE and its influence on blood constituents were studied.
    1. Treatment was performed for four consecutive days, 10min a day, in the patients with chronic pain in their various parts of the bodies. After the treatment, the range of movement (ROM) was improved in fifty out of fifty-two patients (96%).
    2. Effect of electrotherapy on blood constituent was examined in six male normal controls after treatment for two consecutive days, 10min a day.
    1) Red blood cell counts, levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit decreased. Whole white blood cell (WBC) counts decreased; however, no changes were observed in analysis of WBC.
    2) Levels of serum sodium and calcium decreased, whereas those of potassium increased.
    3) Levels of plasma adrenaline and endorphin decreased.
    These changes suggest that
    1. SOMA DYNE is very effective for the patient with chronic somatic pain.
    2. Electrotherapy may affect the cell ion channels.
    3. Sympathetic nerve activity decreases by the treatment.

    Objective—To determine whether bathing in thermal spring water acutely affects venous function in patients with venous insufficiency.
    Design—Standardised measurements of venous function in patients with leg varicosities and healthy subjects (controls) before and after a standardised thermal bath and exercise on two consecutive days, with subsequent application of a cold stimulus on one day.
    Subjects—28 patients with varicose veins in one or both legs (N=45) and 30 controls without relevant venous disorders (N=60).
    Interventions—On two consecutive days all subjects underwent a standardised bathing and exercise procedure in mineral spring water at 34°C for 20min. On one day, determined randomly for each subject, a standardised cold stimulus was applied to both lower legs immediately after bathing. On both days measurements were before subjects entered the bath (basal level) and after rest after the completion of bathing (including cold stimulus on one day).
    Results—Without the cold stimulus venous function of patients and controls did not change. After application of the cold stimulus the venous capacity of both patients (p<0.001) and controls (p<0.05) was significantly reduced compared with the basal levels. While there was no change in maximum venous outflow in the controls, that of the patient group decreased slightly (p<0.001) compared with basal levels.
    Conclusions—Contrary to widespread medical belief, bathing in mineral spring water at temperatures above 28°C does not adversely affect venous function in patients with varicose veins or individuals without them. When applied in moderation (34°C for 20min) this physical therapy should not be regarded as contraindicated in this and related conditions, especially given its known hemodynamic benefits. Further studies are required to determine the long-term benefits of repeated bath therapy.
