[The mechanisms of diastolic dysfunction and their assessment by a Doppler method].

The Doppler method makes possible to reveal the relaxation disturbances and the increased left ventricular (LV) stiffness-pathophysiologic mechanisms of diastolic myocardial dysfunction (DMD), exerting opposite influence on the correlation of transmitral flow peaks. The decrease of the "diastolic reserve" in the patients with lung congestion is useful to diagnose DMD. But the type of LV filling, when the relative role of early diastole is decreased and of the late diastole-increased, cannot itself be recognized as pathologic.

[The clinico-physiological characteristics of biologically active points].

Biological active acupoints (BAAp) are peculiar markers of the reflector and general vegetative reaction. Their particular structure, relation to neuro-humoral regulation in the organism are still disputable. The experimental study confirms the availability of BAAp morphological subject.

[Experimental research on the adaptogenic properties of Kryms'kyĭ balsam].

The effect of balsam "Kryms'kyĭ" has been studied in chronic experiments on Wistar rats. It is proved that peroral administration of balsam "Kryms'kyĭ" to rat for 4-7 days enhances excretion of 17-KC, static and dynamic muscular workability, resistance to hypoxia, accelerates elimination of xenobiotics, decreases stress-induced damages of the stomach mucosa, myocardium and lymphopenia. This permits considering the balsam an adaptogen and recommending it for clinical test.
