26. Relationship between forest walking (shinrin-yoku) frequency and self-rated health status : cross-sectional study of healthy Japanese
A few hours of forest walking (shinrin-yoku) has been reported to have both physiological and psychological efficacy for health promotion. The aim of this research was to examine through a cross-sectional study of the relationship between the frequency of forest walking and health status, and to compare forest walking with other health practices to investigate its long-term efficacy. The outcome variables were self-rated health status, subjective mental stress, and self-reported lifestyle disease (hypertension, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, or hyperlipidemia). Participants were healthy volunteers who visited The University of Tokyo’s University Forest in Chiba on two different days in April, 2001, and the Kyoto University Forest in Ashiu on two different days in November, 2001. A total of 279 participants were included in the analyses. They were classified into 4 categories according to the frequency of forest walking. Results showed that higher frequency of forest walking was significantly associated with both higher ratios of good self-rated health and lower ratios of poor self-rated health. The highest frquency forest walking group showed the highest ratio of low psychological stress as well as the lowest ratio of high psychological stress, this was not statistically significant, however. No association was found between the frequency of forest walking and the lifestyle disease morbidity. These results suggest that the frequency of forest walking is related to health status. The efficacy of forest waking, however, should be further explored because the current cross-sectional study could not address a causal relationship.

53. Validity and reliability of the Stress Inventory : self-administered questionnaire to assess disease-prone personalities
The etiological roles of psychosocial factors in cancer and coronary heart disease (CHD) have received much attention in psychosomatic research, and recent epidemiological studies have added scientific evidence concerning this issue. Grossarth-Maticek and colleagues have shown, through a series of prospective studies, a strong relationship between certain personalities (reactions to stress) and diseases such as cancer, apoplexy, and CHD. Based on the Grossarth-Maticek theory, we developed a self-administered questionnaire, the Stress Inventory (SI), to assess potentially disease-prone personalities in the Japanese population. This study examined the psychometric properties of the SI. The Short Interpersonal Reactions Inventory (SIRI) developed by Grossarth-Maticek and the Maudsley Personality Inventory (MPI) were administered, along with the SI, to 601 men and women, most of whom were 40 to 69 years of age, who visited a clinic for a health checkup (Sample 1). The first 164 subjects in Sample 1 took the SI again after a 2-4 week interval. A total of 208 outpatients at a psychosomatic clinic (Sample 2: mean age 43.5 years) completed the Stress Coping Inventory (SCI), the Tokyo University Egogram (TEG), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Japanese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), the Anger Scales (AS), the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ), and the SI. Based on factor analysis of sample 1, the SI was shortened from 75 to 45 items, and 12 scales were constructed and named as follows: "low sense of control", "object dependence of loss", "object dependence of happiness", "object dependence of anger", "annoying barrier", "object dependence of ambivalence", "disclosure of negative experiences", "unfulfilled needs for acceptance", "altruism", "egoism", "emotional suppression", and "lacking emotional experiences". Cronbach alphas and test-retest reliability coefficients ranged from 0.60 to 0.90 and from 0.66 to 0.82 respectively. A correlation analysis between the 12 SI scales and the MPI, SCI, TEG, STAI, CES-D (Japanese-language version), AS, and SSQ scales showed that the constructs of the SI scales generally agreed with the original hypotheses. The SI was shown to have internal consistency, test-retest reliability, factorial validity, and construct validity..

57. Development of A Self-administered Questionnaire to Assess Disease-prone Personalities : Item Construction and Content Validity
The etiological roles of psychosocial factors in cancer and coronary heart disease (CHD) have received much attention in psychosomatic research, and recent epidemiological studies have added scientific evidence concerning this issue. Grossarth-Maticek and colleagues have shown, through their series of prospective studies, a strong relationship between certain personalities (reactions to stress) and diseases such as cancer, apoplexy, and CHD. Based on the Grossarth-Maticek theory, we have developed a self-administered questionnaire, the Stress Inventory (SI), to assess possible disease-prone personalities in the Japanese population. This paper describes the constructs to be assessed by SI and the procedure for creating items included in SI. Content validity is also discussed. We created a pool of items referring to the Grossarth-Maticek disease-prone/healthy personalities, including "Types 1 to 6", "7 traits", and "self-regulation". Using different sets of items selected from the pool, we interviewed doctors and nurses specializing in psychosomatic medicine if the items were easily understood and if they appropriately asked what we intended. According to their comments, a set of revised items was constructed. Similar procedures were then done with psychosomatic patients, followed by patients with cancer or myocardial infarction. Finally, a set of 75 items for SI was prepared to assess 9 constructs: 'low sense of control', 'having an idealized object that causes persistent hopelessness and depression', 'having a persecuting object that causes chronic irritation and anger', 'ambivalent dependence on an object', 'openness of negative emotions', 'unfulfilled needs for dependence', 'tendency to repress one's own needs', 'rationality and anti-emotionality', and 'lack of emotional experiences'. The current version of SI was found to be usable as a self-administered questionnaire and valid in content.

62. Effect of Autonomy Training on Japanese : Application to the Management of Dystonic Patients
Since the 1960s, Grossarth Maticek and his colleagues have done several epidemiological studies in which they have proved their theory of healthy and disease prone personalities : a person of Type 1 personality tends to idealize a certain object as essential for his/her own happiness, often feels disappointed by it, and has been shown to be cancer prone ; a person of Type 2 personality tends to regard a certain object as the cause of his/her own unhappiness, often feels annoyed or irritated by it, and has been shown to be cardiovascular disease prone ; a person of Type 4 personality is ready to alter his/her way of doing or thinking towards an object whenever he/she finds it does harm or brings unhappiness to him/her in the long run, successfully avoids being repeatedly disappointed or annoyed by it, and has been shown to be resistant to various diseases. Such behavioral characteristics as in Type 1 or Type 2 personalities are called the object dependent behavioral pattern (or object dependence), which contrasts with the Type 4 personality called the autonomous and independent behavioral pattern (or autonomy). Autonomy Training (AUT) is a cognitive-behavior therapy that Grossarth-Maticek and his colleagues have developed as a device for reducing object dependency and increasing autonomy. The aim of this study is to determine if AUT is useful for Japanese. The subjects were two Japanese women suffering from dystonia : a thirty-nine-year-old working mother with blephalospasm and a fifty-year-old housewife with hemimasticatory dystonia, both of whom had not responded to medications and were referred to our clinic by an ophthalmologist and a dentist respectively. We applied AUT to the patients as a self-care manual based, outpatient therapy using a brief manual we adapted from Grossarth-Maticek's original that encourages a reader to identify and to solve his/her own problems on a trial-and-error basis and to gain a more comfortable and contented life. Changes of the patients' autonomy level were assessed through what they had reported in interviews as well as from scores of the Japanese version of the Self-Regulation Inventory (SRI), which was developed by Grossarth-Maticek to assess autonomy. The patients read the manual repeatedly and started to focus their attention mainly on their interpersonal relations. When they came to recognize their fixed and object dependent behavior patterns, especially in relations with their husbands, they started to try to change their attitudes and behaviors towards them in everyday life according to what they had learned from the manual. As a result of such changes, they reported improvement in their emotional status. Their behavior patterns were interpreted as Type 1 and Type 2 respectively, and showed improvement in the direction of increase in autonomy, confirmed by constantly improved SRI scores during their 57- and 22-week treatment periods and 41- and 74-week follow-up periods. Their behavioral changes were accompanied by improvements, although not perfect, in dystonic symptoms without receiving botulinum toxin injection therapy. In conclusion, AUT seems to be effective for Japanese in improving emotional and physical status through the development of autonomy..

65. Application of 'BOOCS' to the management of eating disordered patients with binge eating
Fujino et al have developed a new therapeutic theory for obesity, the Brain Oriented Obesity Control System or 'BOOCS'. They have reported that the majority of obese persons using this method have succeeded in reducing body weight with few rebound cases. This theory considers obesity to be caused by 'brain fatigue', progressive brain dysfunction under the stress of every day life, and emphasizes that management should be focused more on how to reduce 'brain fatigue' rather than adherence to demanding diet/exercise regimens. To reduce 'brain fatigue', 'two principles and three rules' as follows are given as instructions to obese persons. 'Two principles': (1) Make as few prohibition as possible and deny your wants as little as possible. (2) Do something pleasant for yourself. 'Three rules': (1) Do not prohibit what you like, even if it is bad for your health. (2) Do not practice what you dislike, even if it is good for your health. (3) Do only what you like among things and matters good for your health. Assuming that the binge eating of eating disordered patients might also be caused by 'brain fatigue', we have applied BOOCS to the management of these patients. We developed a self-care manual for eating disorder (ED) patients with binge eating incorporating the BOOCS principles, which includes 4 instructions: (1) Learn to feel contentment from your main meals. (2) Do not attempt to force yourself to quit binge eating immediately. (3) You will not become obese if you feel content and comfortable with your main meals. (4) Try reducing the frequency of weighing yourself. We enrolled 6 new ED outpatients with binge eating (2 anorexia nervosa, and 4 bulimia nervosa, according to DMS-IV) who met the following criteria: (1) those not so physically critical that they needed to be hospitalized, (2) those who had not been treated medically before. We gave a manual to each patient on her first visit, and then using it gave her individual-therapeutic sessions weekly or bi-weekly. As a result, 5 out of 6 patients showed a reduction of binge frequency within 1 week of the first visit, and all 6 patients had remission of binging within 5 to 17 weeks without any medication or hospitalization. Although all the patients had problems of interpersonal relationship besides their eating problems, 3 solved them by themselves as they were released by BOOCS from the battle against binging. Moreover, the other 3 patients who required psychotherapy to treat interpersonal problems reported that the 'two principles' from BOOCS had been applicable to solving such problems beyond their eating problems. In this report, we briefly present the histories and clinical courses of 4 patients, and discuss the possible mechanism(s) of the success of BOOCS. In conclusion, we suggest that BOOCS is applicable to the management of eating disordered patients with binge eating..

69. Chronic Pancreatitis and Afferent Loop Syndrome: Report of A Case Successfully Treated with Gastrointestinal Motility Regulator
We present a case of chronic pancreatitis (CP) accompanied by afferent loop syndrome (ALS) which suggested a new clue to treat an intractable type of the disease. A 51-year-old man suffering from alcoholic CP underwent total gastrectomy because of bleeding gastric ulcer. He stopped drinking subsequently, but abdominal pains and hyperamylasemia persisted. Total parenteral nutrition and intravenously infused nafamostat mesilate improved hyperamylasemia, but were unsuccessful in managing abdominal pains accompanied by intermittent symptoms suggesting ALS and cholangitis such as vomiting of bile stained fluid, pyrexia and so on. Therefore trimebutine maleate were orally administered, and all of those symptoms disappered. From this point of view, we conclude as follows:
1) The pathophysiology of chronic ALS consists in not only mechanical obstruction but also functional dyskinesia of afferent loop in various degrees, and trimebutine maleate, recognized as gastrointestinal motility regulator is effective as the treatment. 2) In managing intractable CP with a history of gastric resction, the bile or pancreatic juice reflux due to raised intraduodenal pressure has to be considered as a factor of intractability..
