Pharmacological management of immune and oxidative disturbances in patients with encephalopathy on the background of hypertension

Inclusion of a comprehensive drug treatment of patients with discirculatory encephalopathy cerebrolysin combination with meksidol normalizes the concentration of C3 and C4 components of the complement system, IgG, malondialdehyde, catalase activity, total antioxidant activity of blood serum, corrects, but not to the level of standards, the contents of cytokines (TNF, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-18, IFγ, IL-2, IL-17), complement component C5, IgA, acylhydrohyperoxide, neopterin and increases anti-inflammatory cytokine

The role of language representation of the time model in the process of meaning creation

The aim of the article is to demonstrate the language picture of the world, which owes its structural integrity to its relational framework. The archetype “time” is central to the Christian mythology, in fairy tales and other linguocultural artefacts. The thought-language essences representing the category TIME in the modern German language, connect different time modes (past, present, future), allowing to distinguish different worlds. The memory of the ways of the development of the human soul is concentrated in the

The interpretation mechanism of meaning creation ways in German literary discourse

The article is focused on the process of both understanding the depicted model of the situation, as well as the process of extracting the actual emotional and evaluative shades of meaning. It emphasises the way the meaning creation process is fulfilled in German literary discours

Psychological, morphological and dietic aspects of violations of food behavior of young people

Background: The article shows that the development of obesity and associated health disorders is directly related to the changes in eating behavior (EB) and the psychoemotional state. However, the considered studies were carried out in obese patients of medical institutions only. The research in young people focuses mainly on the sociological and psychological aspects of EB.Aim: To study the psychological characteristics, eating behavior features and their relationship with the indicators of actual nutrition and the body composition in young men.Materials and methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional sample survey of young men aged 17 to 21 was performed. A survey of violations of the EB was carried out, on the basis of which 5 groups of young men were formed. Group 1 (comparison) consisted of young men without violations of the EB. Group 2 consisted of young men with impaired emotiogenic EB. Group 3 consisted of boys with violations of the restrictive PP; group 4 — young men with impaired external EB; group 5 — young men with a combination of impairment of emotionogenic and restrictive EB. We used the Dutch DEBQ questionnaire to study the types of eating behavior. The current mental state of the testees was evaluated by a clinical and psychological test — Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R). The body composition was assessed with the ABC-01 «Medass» bioimpedansometry device. The «Analysis of the human nutritional state” computer program was applied to estimate the actual nutrition by the frequency analysis method.Results: The study included 96 volunteers. Young men with impaired external EB feature an increase in the daily average energy consumption, which resulted in an increase in BFM%. In young people with eating disorders, an increase in scores on the «Somatization», «Obsession-compulsion», and «Anxiety» scales as compared to the reference valuesis testified. The depression level in young men correlated with the severity of emotiogenic eating behavior (r = 0.455, p <0.001).However, it is associated with the severity of external EB to a greater extent (r = 0.608, p <0.001). On the contrary, the anxiety level more strongly correlated with the severity of emotiogenic EB (r = 0.575, p <0.001) rather than of external EB type (r = 0.391, p <0.001).Conclusion: EB disorders in young men are associated with psychophysiological features, eating disorders accounting for the accumulation of adipose tissue in the body

The peculiarities of the heart rate regulation in boys and girls with different body composition, motor and eating behavior

BACKGROUND: There are a lot of works devoted to the study of the main regularities of the heart rate (HR) control in individuals depending on the body weight. Still, there are some uncleared and even controversial issues that significantly influence the notion of this process itself. Particularly, impaired HR variability in patients with the cardiometabolic syndrome is characterized by the weakening of the impact of both parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system. The works devoted to the heart rate variability features in young people associated with the body weight are scarce.AIM: To study the peculiarities of the heart rate variability in boys and girls with different body composition, motor and eating behavior.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional, open, single-arm, non-randomized study of the HR variability in adolescents with different body fat mass (BFM) was carried out on the basis of the Center for Healthy Nutrition of Altai State University. The HR variability, nutritional status and physical activity index (PHAI) were studied in the groups of individuals with different body fat mass.RESULTS: We examined 168 people (85 boys and 83 girls). The surveyed belonged to the adolescent age period (boys from 17 to 21 years old, girls from 16 to 20 years old). The boys and girls examined by us had a different amount of BFM %. The HR variability, nutritional status and physical activity index were studied in 44 people with the low BFM, 71 people with the average BFM, 53 people with the increased BFM. In both sexes, the group with the increased BFM features an increase in the absolute (HF, ms2 ) and relative (HF%) oscillation power of the heart rate high-frequency component. The average value of the physical activity index in the group with the reduced BFM equals 1.52 ± 0.037 in boys, and 1.44 ± 0.099 in girls. The average value of the physical activity index in the group with the average BFM is 1.44 ± 0.029 and 1.42 ± 0.095 in boys and in girls respectively. The average value of the physical activity index in the group with the increased BFM is 1.23 (Q25–75 1.20–1.70) in boys, and 1.26 ± 0.33 in girls. The representatives of the group with the increased BFM have a higher caloric value (CV) of the daily intake. In young men, a higher CV was achieved due to increased consumption of fats and carbohydrates. In the girls of the third group, a higher CV of the daily intake was gained due to proteins, fats, carbohydrates.CONCLUSION: The results of the HR variability showed that the motor and eating behavior affect the state of the cardiac function in both boys and girls. An increase in the body fat mass in the individuals with a maximum CV of the daily intake and a minimum level of motor activity is associated with the prevalence of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system in the heart rate control
