基　　金：supported by the project 'Modern forestry-exploitation and utilization of therapeutic forest' commissioned by the Forestry Department of Zhejiang Province;funds from the Ministry of Health of P.R.China (WKJ2011-2-014);the Science and Technology Department of Zhejiang Province Program (2008C33046);Zhejiang Provincial key disciplinary fields of Geriatrics Program (2007ZB006 and 2008ZJ004) 摘　　要：Objective To investigate the effects of short-term forest bathing on human health.Methods Twenty healthy male university students participated as subjects and were randomly divided into two groups of 10.One group was sent on a two-night trip to a broad-leaved evergreen forest,and the other was sent to a city area.Serum cytokine levels reflecting inflammatory and stress response,indicators reflecting oxidative stress,the distribution of leukocyte subsets,and plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) concentrations were measured before and after the experiment to evaluate the positive health effects of forest environments.A profile of mood states (POMS) evaluation was used to assess changes in mood states.Results No significant differences in the baseline values of the indicators were observed between the two groups before the experiment.Subjects exposed to the forest environment showed reduced oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory level,as evidenced by decreased malondialdehyde,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor α levels compared with the urban group.Serum cortisol levels were also lower than in the urban group.Notably,the concentration of plasma ET-1 was much lower in subjects exposed to the forest environment.The POMS evaluation showed that after exposure to the forest environment,subjects had lower scores in the negative subscales,and the score for vigor was increased.Conclusion Forest bathing is beneficial to human health,perhaps through preventive effects related to several pathological factors. 关键词：人体健康常绿阔叶林森林浴短期浙江省氧化应激反应森林环境中国
