ABSTRACT
The objective of this work was to develop a scientifically sound rationale for the method of reflex correction of biliary tract dysfunction based on chronobiological data concerning functioning of the acupuncture points corresponding to biliary ducts. It was shown that patients presenting with biliary dyskinesia (i.e., forming desynchronism) experience a shift of both skin temperature and electrical resistance at the acupuncture points. The chronoreflexotherapeutic technique employed in this study makes it possible to rapidly restore disturbed biorhythms of functioning of the biliary system, normalize the motor-evacuating activity of the gallbladder, and eliminate clinical manifestations of the disease.

Clinical-experimental observations of the vegetative nervous system in students with vegetative dysfunctions (VD) consisting of studying functional dynamics of the vegetative tone, reactivity, and regulation made it evident that each clinical case of VD is characterized by a certain vegetative status. Cardiovascular VD is distinguished by dominance of unnatural vagotropic reactivity on a background of initial sympathicotonia. Gastrointestinal VD was developed largely by individuals with unnatural sympathetic reactivity and initial vagotonia. Respiratory VD is characterized by increased vagotropic reactivity and inadequate vegetative regulation. These results permit differential rehabilitative correction of different clinical VD cases in students by selection of therapeutic factors depending on the type of vegetative disorders.
