[PSYCHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF PATIENTS WITH DISORDERS OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM].

The purpose of the study was to identify the psychological peculiarities of patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system in order to identify in the future the targets of medical and psychological intervention, correction and complex treatment of this contingent. The study methods: Inventory form SF-36 - short form of the nonspecific Inventory for determination of a life quality (The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey, Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, CISS), S. Norman, D. F. Endler, D. A. James, M. I. Parker, adopted by T. L. Kryukova, A. Buss and A. Durkee Hostility Inventory, BDHI, adopted by A. L. Osnitsky), Test of self-assessment of stress resistance of S. Kouhen and G. Willianson The study showed a significant difference (p<0,05) in the quality of life of the examined main group and comparison group. In the course of the study it was confirmed that the significant reasons for the decrease in the quality of life of the patient are age-related, individual-psychological differences and social ones. Correlation analysis revealed the relationship of aggression with indicators of the quality of life of the subjects, a direct relationship between indicators of "physical health" and "physical functioning" and between indicators of "pain" and "physical functioning", an inverse relationship between indicators of stress resistance and "physical health". Identification of the targets of medical and psychological correction will make it possible to develop a program of prevention, rehabilitation of people of mature age with with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, taking into account the factors of influence and the involvement of relevant specialists while maintaining an individual approach.

[Diagnosis of uveitis with fractional doses of 32-P radionuclide]. / Diagnostika uveitov drobnymi dozami radionuklida 32-P.

For determination of the presence and activity of inflammation in the vascular coat of the eye as well as of the stopping of the disease, the authors propose to use radionuclide 32-P in a form of fractional doses in contradistinction to a single administration of a conventional dose. A common dose of the preparation is divided into four equal parts. At first, 1/4 of the dose is administered. One hour later, comparative external radiometry of the patient and the healthy eye is made. If there is seen no clear difference in intensity of accumulation, the second dose is administered. One hour later, repeated examination is made. After receiving clear data, further administration of the preparation is stopped. Administration of fractional doses suggests a decrease of ray load on the patient's organism, economy of the preparation without lowering the authenticity of examination.

[Nucleotide composition and the methylated cytosine level in the DNA from a cancerous stomach tumor]. / Nukleotidnyi sostav i uroven' metilirovannogo tsitolizina v DNK iz rakovoi opukholi zheludka.

Under study was the nucleotide content and the level of methylated cytosine (5-MC) in the DNA, isolated from adenocarcinoma of the stomach, gastric mucosa in patients with duodenal ulcer as well as from the mucosa of intact human stomach. The difference (reliable statistically) was found in the amount of 5-MC between the tissues concerned. So, in adenocarcinoma the amount of 5-MC was 4.64 +/- 0.3 mol.%, in gastric mucosa in case of duodenal ulcer--2.63 +/- 0.3 mol.%, while in mucosa of intact stomach--1.52 +/- 0.3 mol.%. The increased level of DNA methylation should influence its structure and activity.
