[Psychological personality traits and development of cardiovascular diseases in young men (results of a 10-year prospective study]. / Psikhologicheskie osobennosti lichnosti i razvitie serdechno-sosudistykh zabolevanii u moldykh muzhchin (po rezul'tatam 10-letnego prospektivnogo nabliudeniia).

Cardiovascular abnormalities developed in 7.3% among physically and mentally healthy males aged 20-29 years after 10 years of practical activities that made it necessary to take crucial decisions under conditions of time shortage and information gap, to show determination and courage. The incidence rate for cardiovascular diseases was 38.8% among males with asthenic personality traits and 6.9% in those with sthenic traits (p less than 0.001). In persons with well-balanced personality traits, cardiovascular diseases were ascertained not to develop. The disparity between the psychological traits and those demanded by occupational activities is the major pathogenic factor as considered by the authors.

[Electric characteristics of acupuncture points in patients with benign and malignant uterine tumors]. / Elektricheskie kharakteristiki akupunkturnykh tochek pri dobrokachestvennykh i zlokachestvennykh matki.

Electrical response of electro-active points (EAP) in reflexogenic areas of body surface that are communicated with the uterus was examined in 146 patients, admitted to hospital for surgical treatment of benign or malignant genital tumors. Thirty normal females were taken as controls. Specific time needed for EAP potential to become close to constant or the bend point to emerge was shown to be the most certain indicator of proliferation. There was a correlation between temporal parameters of EAP response and the presence and activity of uterine proliferation.
