Purpose The purpose of the present study was to assess whether salivary human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 acted as a new sensitive stress marker, providing a reliable indicator of stress among shift work nurses. Salivary HHV-6, immunoglobulin (Ig) A and mood states were compared among nurses who worked day shifts only and nurses who worked different numbers of night shifts. Methods Participants included 56 female nurses working in Japanese general hospitals. The 56 subjects were categorized into three groups: Group A (n = 7), which consisted of nurses who only worked day shifts; group B (n = 29), which consisted of nurses working shifts with ≤8 night shifts per month; and group C (n = 20), which consisted of nurses working shifts with ≥ 9 night shifts per month. Mood was assessed using the Profile of Mood States Short Form Japanese version (POMS-SFJ). Salivary biomarker levels and mood were compared among the three groups. Results Although the salivary HHV-6 level was significantly higher in group C than in group A (p < .05), salivary IgA and mood levels were not significantly different among the three groups. Conclusion Salivary HHV-6 level may be a more sensitive stress marker than salivary IgA or mood for assessing chronic fatigue in nurses working shifts. Improvement to shift assignments using assessment by salivary HHV-6 is required.

Background: In Japan, neonates have typically been bathed in a bathtub immediately after birth because bathing is a custom for cleansing impurities. However, dry technique has been introduced into many institutions since 2000. There is little scientific evidence on the ben- efit or harmfulness of either method to neonatal skin, and consequently, opinion remains split on which method is superior. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether bathing or the dry technique of cleaning is better in maintaining skin health in the early neonatal period. Methods: Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin pH, considered an index of skin bar- rier function, were measured in each group. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and inter- leukin (IL)-6, which are inf lammatory cytokines released by keratinocytes, were measured by skin blotting. Results: TEWL and skin pH of neonates were lower with the dry technique than with bath- ing. The expression level of IL-6 and TNF-α in chest skin of neonates was higher with bath- ing than with the dry technique. Conclusion: These results suggest that the dry technique may maintain skin health better than bathing in the early neonatal period.
