[Evaluation of the efficacy of treating the lumbosacral pain syndrome according to the degree of respiratory rhythm irregularity upon inclining the body forward]. / Otsenka effektivnosti lecheniia poiasnichno-krestsovogo bolevogo sindroma po stepeni neravnomernosti ritma dykhaniia pri naklone tulovishcha.

The authors suggest that the effectiveness of the treatment for lumbosacral pain should be assessed with the help of registration in the course of treatment of irregularity of the respiration rhythm (H) upon maximal bending forward for 30 sec and the angle of this bending (alpha). H is determined by the following formula: (Formula: see text) where T1 is the duration of the i-respiratory wave, i is the ordinal number of the respiratory wave, n is the number of registered respiratory waves upon bending. The next is calculation of tenderness (A): (Formula: see text) and the efficacy of treatment (E): (Formula: see text) where A1 and A2 are parameters of tenderness before and after the treatment, respectively.

[Somaticoautonomic functions of rabbits exposed to an ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic field at acupuncture points]. / Izuchenie somatovegetativnykh funktsii u krolikov pri deistvii élektromagnitnogo polia sverkhvysokoi chastoty na tochki akupunktury.

The action of electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency with power from 1 to 1000 mwt and acupuncture on the functional state of rabbits under the tooth pulp irritation conditions has been investigated. The action on the points has been established to be accompanied by decrease of the rythm breathing irregularity and motion of animals jaws. The most effectiveness during the action of the field has been registered with power 1-20 mwt that corresponds to the effectiveness of acupuncture. However during the action of the field the frequency of breathing does not change while during acupuncture it increases. This fact points out the differences of the mechanism of normalized effect of these species influence on acupuncture points. The point of view concerning the invariable information action of fields upon the points and the system of points as constantly acting communication channel between an organism and the environment is under discussion.
