Relationship between @entity308 @entity148 stress scale (DASS) and urinary XXXX and @entity1521 concentrations in hospital workers.

@entity308 @entity19487 @entity146 @entity26 @entity720 @entity148 @entity1521
OBJECTIVES: Although increased reactive @entity26 species (ROS) is caused by stress accelerates collagen degradation, there was no data on the relationship between stress and urinary @entity720 ( @entity19487 ) and @entity1521 (Pro), a good marker of collagen degradation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between @entity308 , @entity148 , and stress (DAS) and concentrations of urinary @entity19487 and Pro. METHODS: 97 hospital employees aged 20 to 58 were asked to fill out comprehensive self-administrated questionnaires containing information about their medical history, lifestyle, length of the work year, shift-work and DAS. @entity308 @entity148 stress scale (DASS) was applied to evaluate chronic @entity146 . Urine samples were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with double derivatization for the assay of @entity720 and @entity1521 . RESULTS: The mean value of @entity19487 and Pro concentration in all subjects was 194.1    113.4  mol/g and 568.2    310.7  mol/g. DASS values and urinary Pro concentrations were differentiated by sex (female > male, p < 0.05) and type of job (nurse > others, p < 0.05). In the stepwise multiple linear regressions, urinary @entity19487 and Pro concentrations were influenced by stress (Adjusted r2 = 0.051) and @entity148 and job (Adjusted r2 = 0.199), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We found that stress and @entity148 were correlated with urinary @entity19487 and Pro concentrations. To identifying a definite correlation, further study in large populations will be needed.
