It is known that both genetic factors and environmental influences affect the development of the human body. This statement also applies to a person’s personality, ie the big five – the main features that make it up. The study of the relationship between physique and personality traits among a healthy population is very relevant and is a promising area for anthropology and psychology. The purpose of the work is to conduct a prognostic assessment of the influence of anthropo-somatotypological indicators on the personality indicators in practically healthy Ukrainian women without and taking into account the somatotype. Primary anthropo-somatotypological (anthropometry according to Bunak’s scheme, Heath-Carter somatotype determination, Matiegka and American Institute of Nutrition weight composition) and personality indicators (determination of leading typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck, psychodynamic features of personality according to Spielberger and features of accentuated personality traits according to Shmishek, components of internality according to Rotter) of practically healthy Ukrainian women of the first mature age are selected from the data bank of materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Factor analysis was performed in the license package "Statistica 6.1". The main factors that indicate the association of personality traits of practically healthy Ukrainian women of different somatotypes with some anthropo-somatotypological indicators: mesomorphs – "the size of the girth and fat size of the body" and "the size of the longitudinal size of the body"; in ectomorphs – "the size of the girth of the body" and "the size of the fat size of the body"; in endo-mesomorphs - "the magnitude of the circumferential size of the body" and "the magnitude of the width of the mandible"; in representatives of the middle intermediate somatotype – "the magnitude of the longitudinal and circumferential dimensions of the body" and "the magnitude of SFT on the posterior surface of the shoulder." In the general group of women, it is impossible to single out the second factor that has a significant load. Analysis of the obtained relationships of interdependence of personality traits, which have the greatest prognostic value in terms of formation of human personality with anthropo-somatotypological indicators showed that women of different somatotypes identified interdependencies have certain features. Thus, the application of factor analysis made it possible to determine the most significant relationships of personality indicators with the constitutional parameters of the body in practically healthy Ukrainian women of different somatotypes.
CHaRaCTERISTICS OF ENDOTHELIaL DYSFUNCTION IN PaTIENTS WITH aTOPIC DERMaTITISIntroduction. Skin lesions in atopic dermatitis (AD) are apparently associated with vascular changes, as blood vessels provide pathways for the transport of immune cells. The aim of the study: study of the state of endothelial dysfunction in patients with atopic dermatitis.Materials and methods. 70 patients with AD were examined. Groups were formed depending on the SсORAD index (I subgroup -with SсORAD index up to 20 points, II -with SсORAD index 20-40 points, III subgroup -with SсORAD index from 40 and above points). Indicators of endothelial dysfunction of VEGF and VCAM-1 in blood serum were determined by the immunoenzymatic method.Research results and their discussion. A significant percentage of deviations from the reference interval of both the level of VEGF (52 (74.3%) examined) and VCAM-1 (32 (45.7%) examined) in blood serum among AD patients was established. There were 4.6 times more people of the III subgroup with an elevated level of VEGF in blood serum than patients with a reference value (p˂0.001) and 1.52 times more than among patients of the I subgroup (p=0.0121). Among the patients of the I, only the reference values of the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 were found. Among individuals of the III subgroup with an elevated level of VCAM-1 was 1.9 times more than with its reference value (p=0.016). It was established that the level of VEGF in blood serum in patients of the III was 1.4 times higher compared to the level in patients of the II and 1.68 times higher than in patients of the I. Similar changes were found in the level of VCAM-1 in blood serum in AD patients. The highest level of VCAM-1 was found in patients of the III subgroup, which was 2.2 times higher than that in the II and 5.4 times in the I subgroups. In patients with AD with a minimum duration of the disease (1 year), the level of VEGF in blood serum was within the reference values. Probably the highest value of this indicator was noted in patients with a long course of the disease (16 and more years), (р˂0.05).Conclusions. A feature of atopic dermatitis is the development of endothelial dysfunction, namely due to an increase in the level of endothelial vasoactive factors VEGF, VCAM-1 (p<0.01). Violation of endothelial function in AD correlates with the severity of the disease (p<0.05). The increase in VEGF content is associated with the duration of AD (p<0.05).
