“…Neuropsychological, psychosocial and neuroanatomical studies have demonstrated its role in increasing or decreasing immune/allergic responses and reveal the bidirectional communication between the neuroendocrine and neurological systems and the immune system. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic adrenal medullar system are the primary neuroendocrine and neuronal components of stress responses [31].…”

In this research, we highlight the hypermodern individual, the ways he lives in the contemporary world and the psychosocial determinants involved in illness. We aim to reveal the impact of traumatic life events and the senses and meanings given by the patients to their pathologies. The research was carried out at two private hospitals in Brazil, in the years 2010 and 2011. The study is based on a qualitative method, through a semistructured interview with open-ended questions and the drawings-stories procedure, in an intentional sample, closed by saturation, during the period of hospitalization and right after leaving hospital (15 to 30 days). We used a qualitative content analysis and analysis of drawings under the framework of Analytical Psychology. Seven female patients that underwent surgery were the subjects of this research: two with Myocardial Infarction, one with Takotsubo Syndrome, three with Breast Cancer and one with both pathologies. Through the analysis of the interviews and the symbols presented in the drawings, we observed demands for hyperformance and hyperfection, linked with illness, when in excess. Traumatic life events, job stress, reactions to loss, and death of loved ones without the possibility of psychological elaboration may cause fragility and a lowering of the capacity of the immune system to react, causing damage to health. Through the symbolic trajectory of life, spontaneously presented in the drawings, we observed the three types of thinking in the structure of the psiqué which formed the basis for mental equilibrium: rational, symbolic and mythological. Infarction and breast cancer cause different impacts on women's lives. Knowing how to deal with stressful events and being conscious of the meanings given to illness may contribute to making a better or worse experience in life. Such knowledge may be crucial for both primary and secondary prevention. S. de A. Paiva et al.

“…Fue en 1981 cuando Robert Adler introdujo el término psiconeuroinmunología para referirse al estudio de las relaciones entre el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso y el sistema inmune, mediadas por factores cognoscitivos. En la actualidad, se poseen evidencias claras de la comunicación bidireccional entre estos dos sistemas (Giuffre, Udelsman, Listwak & Chrousos, 1988;Khansari, Murgo & Faith, 1990;Khorram, Bedran de Castro & McCann, 1985;Laue, Loriaux & Chrousos, 1988;Linton et al, 1985;Marques-Deak & Sternberg, 2004;Szafarczyk, Malaval, Laurent, Gibaud & Assenmacher, 1987). Toda esta investigación, ha permitido el desarrollo de aproximaciones farmacológicas de gran impacto para el tratamiento de los diversos tipos de estrés.…”

r e S u M e n Grandes esfuerzos han sido llevados a cabo para entender los componentes psicobiológicos del estrés y de algunas de las psicopatologías relacionadas con él, tales como los trastornos de ansiedad (ansiedad generalizada o crisis de pánico) e incluso la depresión. Existen evidencias de que procesos como la neurogénesis y la plasticidad se ven enormemente afectados por muchos factores, entre ellos el estrés. En esta revisión se presentan algunos de los principales conceptos sobre la relación entre estrés, plasticidad y neurogé-nesis, a los que se ha llegado a partir de investigaciones realizadas -principalmente en modelos animales-, desde hace algunas décadas. Se realizará una diferenciación entre los efectos ocasionados por estrés crónico y agudo, tratando de establecer las interacciones que sobre estos efectos ejercen algunas variables tales como el género o el rango de edad, se enfatizarán los efectos comportamentales para finalmente revisar algunas de las formas de intervención actualmente más usadas para el tratamiento del estrés. Palabras clave estrés; plasticidad; neurogénesis a B S t r a C tThere is a growing interest in the comprehension of psychobiological mechanisms underlying stress and its relationships with many psychopathologies such as anxiety (i.e. generalized anxiety and panic attacks) or depression. There are several reports on the effects of stress on neurogenesis and plasticity. This review will discuss some of the core concepts on the relation between stress, plasticity and neurogenesis obtained during the last decades from research -mainly based in the use of animal models. The distinguishable effects between acute and chronic stress will also be discussed in relation to other factors as genre and age with an emphasis on behavioral effects. Some current therapeutic approaches will be reviewed as well.

“…Their mediators (neurotransmitters and different hormones) act synergistically with other lymphocyte and macrophage products, regulating their actions (4) . Considering the integrating capacity of the central nervous system in a variety of biological processes, studying the role of the nervous system in relation to the immune function in a variety of biological processes was encouraged.…”

“…Considering the integrating capacity of the central nervous system in a variety of biological processes, studying the role of the nervous system in relation to the immune function in a variety of biological processes was encouraged. Psychoneuroimmunology studies the bidirectional influence of the psychological state in the immune function which is contrasted by the nervous and endocrine systems (4) . Retrospective studies in human beings suggest that chronic maternal stress during pregnancy is associated with increased levels of corticotrophin releasing hormone, the adrenocorticotropic hormone, and cortisol (5) .…”

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of relaxation techniques in the levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in saliva of postpartum women, in relationship to the variables: age, education level, marital status, type of delivery and parity. Methods: This experimental, randomized trial was conducted in a maternity ward of Espirito Santo (Brazil). The sample consisted of 60 postpartum women. The experimental group consisted of 30 postpartum women who received the relaxation technique proposed by Benson. The levels were collected using a specific form and level of salivary IgA by immunoturbidimetry in two stages: up to 24 hours postpartum, and 7 days later. Results: We observed a significant increase of IgA levels in the experimental group (p = 0.01) after the practice of relaxation, and a lack of relationship between the control variables and IgA. Conclusion: Relaxation can help increase immunological resistance in postpartum women. keywords: Relaxation therapy, Immunoglobulin A, secretory; Psychoneuroimmunology; Postpartum period; Puerperal disorders RESUMO Objetivos: Avaliar os efeitos da técnica de relaxamento nos níveis de Imunoglobulina A (IgA) salivar em puérperas e a relação com as variáveis: idade, grau de instrução, estado civil, tipo de parto e paridade. Métodos: Estudo experimental randomizado realizado em uma maternidade do Espírito Santo (Brasil). A amostra constituiu-se de 60 puérperas. O grupo experimental composto por 30 puérpuras seguiu a técnica de relaxamento proposta por Benson. As variáveis foram coletadas por meio de formulário específico e o nível de IgA salivar por imunoturbidimetria em dois momentos: até 24 horas pós-parto e 7 dias depois. Resultados: Verificou-se aumento significativo dos níveis de IgA no grupo experimental (p= 0,01) após a prática do relaxamento e ausência de relação entre as variáveis de controle e a IgA. Conclusão: O relaxamento pode ajudar a aumentar a resistência imunológica de puérperas.
