[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.

[Use of Na1C14 acetate for biosynthesis of serum and organ lipid components in the early periods of experimental myocardial ischemia]. / Ispol'zovanie atsetata Na-1-C14 dlia biosinteza lipidnykh komponentov organov i syvorotki v raznye periody éksperimental'noi ishemii miokarda

The use of 1C-14 acetate for biosynthesis of lipids and their fractions (cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides and nonesterified fatty acids) in the heart, liver, adrenals, lipoid tissue and blood serum was studied in experimental myocardial infarction on the 5th to the 30th day of the experiment. It was concluded that disturbances of lipid metabolism did not always precede myocardial infarction and acute myocardial ischemia could induce changes in lipid metabolism characteristic of atherosclerosis.
