Introduction. Modern research shows that distress tolerance and adaptive capabilities directly determine the structure, development, and the rate of formation of professional burnout, which predetermines the relevance of their study.Mission: to assess the distress tolerance and the structure of socio-psychological adaptation in naval specialists who have (or do not have) signs of professional burnout.Materials and methods. The study involved 250 naval specialists aged 25 to 45 years, divided into 2 groups — with absence (group 1, 91 people) and presence (group 2, 159 people) of the signs of professional burnout, in which the distress tolerance and the structure of social and psychological adaptation was determined.Results and their discussion. It was found that naval specialists with signs of professional burnout, in comparison with those who do not have it, reviled significantly higher indicators of adaptability, self-acceptance, acceptance of others, emotional comfort, internal control, adaptive abilities, neuropsychic stability, communicative potential, and personal adaptive potential, and significantly lower indicators of external control, statements, and escapism (avoiding problems).Conclusion. It is advisable to take into account the indicators of distress tolerance and the structure of socio-psychological adaptation, which play an important role in the rapid adaptation to various situations and prevent nervous breakdowns and prevent the occurrence of professional burnout.

Introduction.A decrease in ventilation capacity entails a significant change in the kinetics of respiratory gases, which can lead to the formation of hypoxic, hypo- or hypercapnic states, which sharply limit the adaptive capabilities of the body and facilitate the formation of professional burnout syndrome, which predetermines the relevance of their study.Purpose: to assess respiratory performance in naval professionals who have (or do not) show signs of professional burnout.Materials and methods.The study involved 250 naval specialists aged 25 to 45 years, divided into 2 groups — with the absence (group 1 (n=91 people)) and the presence (group 2 (n=159 people)) signs of professional burnout, in which respiratory indicators.Results and its discussion. It was found that naval specialists with signs of professional burnout, as compared to those who do not have it, have significantly higher indicators for peak volumetric velocity, instantaneous and average volumetric vital capacity velocity, reserve expiratory volume, as well as assessing the ratio of reserve inhalation to exhalation volume; at the same time, such persons had a significantly lower index of the reserve inspiratory volume.Conclusion. It is advisable to take into account the indicators of the functioning of the respiratory system, which is of decisive importance in providing the body with oxygen, which ultimately determines the success of adaptation and the prevention of the occurrence of unacceptable functional states, which include professional burnout.

There is a necessary for self-regulation of a personality during change of leading sort of activity and adaptation to new one. The article considers means which is able to contribute for increase of social adaptation at University. The interconnection between socio-psychological adaptation of students at University and parameters of empathy has been discovered by empirical way. This connection has been examined on analytical, structural and functional levels by using both methods of qualitative and statistical analysis, based on system approach to the research. It was used such methods of interrogation as `Assessment of the level of empathic abilities` by V. V. Boyko; `The methodology of diagnosis of socio-psychological adaptation` by C. Rogers and R. Diamond; `Adaptation of students to University` by M. S. Yurkina. The selection including 233 people was divided into levels by degree of manifestation of expectation for internal control for consideration of features. It includes low level (external control), medium level (optimum) and high one (internal control). It was determined that internal locus of control has an impact on increase of adaptation to University life. It was figured out that there is a manifestation of self-control in individuals who get predominance of conative parameters of empathy. Increase of adaptation is able to be achieved by using combination of the system elements such as an augmentation of facilitate empathic impacts, decrease of inhibitory ones and transformation of neutral effects of empathy on socio-psychological adaptation. Attention was also paid to the research of the structural complex both in general and in its individual manifestations. The structural analysis let to reveal basic and system-forming features of examined connection. Thus, conditions for the average manifestation of expectation of internal control have been found and it was determined that this phenomenon takes on base significance because its middle values promote for integration of system ingredients and increase of system system ability to adaptation process. In such a way it has been proved that harmonization of personality structure is possible being achieved due the increase of self-control and correction of empathic means as a mechanism of responsiveness.

To conduct a structural analysis of socio-psychological maladaptation in women with depressive disorders of different genesis depending on the severity of meso- and microsocial influences, to develop personalized psychosocial rehabilitation measures for this group of patients, 252 women were examined and diagnosed with depressive 94 with depressive disorder of psychogenic genesis, 83 women with endogenous depression and 75 patients with depressive disorder of organic genesis. Patients were divided into groups depending on the genesis of depressive disorder and the presence and severity of problems in psychosocial functioning. The study was conducted using clinical-psychopathological and psychodiagnostic methods. The study confirmed the previous hypothesis about the association of the manifestations of socio-psychological maladaptation as a structural component of depression, depending on the vulnerability to meso- and microsocial stress-inducing factors, with any genesis of depressive disorder. There is a tendency to increase the signs of maladaptation, self-rejection, rejection of other emotional discomfort, external control, and information, and decrease signs of adaptability, truthfulness, self-acceptance, acceptance of others, emotional comfort, internal control, dominance with increasing load as meso- and and microsocial factors. The most pronounced differences in the indicators of socio-psychological maladaptation were found in people with microsocial problems, less pronounced - in mesosocial maladaptation. The identified patterns should be taken into account in the development of treatment and rehabilitation and preventive measures for depressive disorders in women.

Introduction. In modern obstetrics, there are a significant number of diagnostic methods to detect fetal distress, including intrapartum. At the same time, the mechanisms of fetal adaptation to various stressors remain poorly understood. The aim of our study was to provide a clinical assessment of brain and glial neurotrophic factors (NTF) in umbilical cord blood when the fetus is exposed to stressors. Materials and methods. The study included 96 cases, which were divided into five groups depending on the data of retrospective analysis of the history of childbirth, the condition of the newborn. After delivery samples were taken, the level of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), GDNF (glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor). Results. The mean NTF level of BDNF in group 1 was 970.3 (60.9) ng/mL, in group 2 was 1499.8 (72.12) ng/mL, in group 3 was 1243.5 (67.49) ng/mL, in group 4 was 1245.5(80.8) ng/mL, in group 5 was 573.5(43.9) ng/mL (p<0.001). Mean GDNF NTF level in group 1 was 35 pg/mL, in group 2 was 41.3 pg/mL, in group 3 was 311.00 pg/mL, in group 4 was 80.00 pg/mL, and in group 5 was 35.6 pg/mL, (p><0.001). The incidence of fetal functional impairment in labor was not established in group 1, group 2 was 18.8%, group 3 was 29.2%, group 4 was 35.3%, and group 5 was 77.8% (p=0.001). The incidence of impaired fetal functional status in labor was not established in groups 1 and 2, in group 3, 4.2%, in group 4, 17.6%, and in group 5, 77.8% (p><0.001). Discussion. Clinical study data indicate the existence of a close relationship between the level of neurotrophic factors and the realization of fetal compensatory-adaptive capabilities in the presence of fetal hypoxia development factors in labor.

ObjectiveStudy of the predictors of ethno-cultural adaptation among male population with PTSD.Materials and methodsWe examined 72 males (age: 18–52) with PTSD (F43.1), acquired in interethnic Kyrgyz-Uzbek conflict. In the process of CBT 3 psychotherapeutic groups were formed: 1st (2 homogenous subgroups) included 24 ethnic Kyrgyz, 2nd (2 homogenous subgroups): 24 ethnic Uzbeks, 3rd (2 heterogeneous subgroups): 12 Uzbeks, 12 Kyrgyz.MethodsSemi-formalized interview, standardized scales for evaluating PTSD, anxiety, depression, aggression, loneliness.ResultsHigh levels of aggressiveness among Kyrgyz: 52.4, among Uzbeks: 51.7 (P < 0.05), loneliness among Kyrgyz: 38.9, among Uzbeks: 46.2 (P < 0.05), anxiety among Kyrgyz: 48.8, among Uzbeks: 52.4 (P < 0.05), depression among Kyrgyz: 57.5, among Uzbeks: 61.1 (P < 0.05) are mutually conditioning factors. In the CBT process, the values decreased: in 1st group anxiety level to 44.4 (P < 0.05), depression: 54.2 (P < 0.05); aggressiveness: 48.2 (P < 0.05), loneliness: 38.4 (P < 0.05); in 2nd: anxiety: 49.4 (P < 0.05), depression: 59.8 (P < 0.05), aggressiveness: 47.3 (P < 0.05), loneliness: 42.4 (P < 0.05); in 3rd: anxiety: 41,1 (P < 0.05), depression: 52.2 (P < 0.05), aggressiveness: 46.5 (P < 0.05), loneliness: 35.5 (P < 0.05).ConclusionsHigh levels of aggressiveness and loneliness among the respondents of both ethnic groups are the predictors of PTSD. Emphasized anxiety-phobic (group 1) and anxiety-depressive (group 2) disorders are the activating mechanisms of adaptation processes in micro-society (psychotherapeutic group). Dominating anxiety-phobic disorders (group 1), anxiety-depressive disorders (group 2), and their entanglement with values of aggressiveness and loneliness determine development and stability of clinical-psychopathologic manifestations as dysthymic disorders, which is an indicator for biological treatment. Heterogeneous group, as a result of CBT, has shown activation of psychological adaptation mechanism by the dissociative type, which is one of the mechanisms of ethno-cultural adaptation and requires subsequent research.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The aim: to establish the features of socio-psychological adaptation in patients with depressive disorders, taking into account age and gender factor. Materials and methods. A clinical and psycho-diagnostic examination of 107 men and 138 women with depressive disorders using the method of diagnosis of socio-psychological adaptation of C. Rogers et R. F. Dymond was done. Results. A low level of socio-psychological adaptation in patients with depressive disorders has been established. There is a tendency to deteriorate socio-psychological adaptation with age, the most pronounced in level of adaptability, emotional comfort, payroll, integrated indicators of adaptation, self-acceptance and emotional comfort in all patients, and in men also in maladaptation, self-acceptance, external control, and women – regarding internality. The rates of lying, acceptance of others and dominance in men and women were highest in the middle age group (30-44 years), and lowest – in the older (over 45 years); this trend is also found in men for internal control and an integrated indicator of acceptance of others, and in women – for the desire for dominance. Differences in the comparison of the older age group with the average were more significant than in the comparison of the younger group (up to 30 years) with the average. Conclusions. Patients with depressive disorders are characterized by a low level of socio-psychological adaptation. In both men and women, the level of socio-psychological adaptation decreases with age, and in men this trend is more pronounced. The most significant deterioration in the state of socio-psychological adaptation in patients with depressive disorders occurs at the age of over 45 years; this trend is also more common in men

Introduction. The role of an alternative adenylate cyclase pathway of hormonal signal transmission under the action of synthetic glucocorticosteroids with the participation of endogenous stress-limiting activity of the adrenal cortex in conjunction with the adaptive capabilities of airway homeostasis in patients with asthma under conditions of osmotic stress has not been studied at present. Aim. To assess the dynamics of cortisol and cyclic adenosin monophosphate (cAMP) in asthma patients with different airway responses to hypoosmolar stimuli when using anti-inflammatory combination therapy with inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting β2 -agonists (ICS/LABA). Materials and methods. 96 patients diagnosed with asthma received combined anti-inflammatory therapy with ICS/LABA for 24 weeks. Group 1 included patients (n=18) with airway hyperresponsiveness to hypoosmolar stimulus, group 2 (n=78) – with no reaction of the bronchi to a 3-minute ultrasonic inhalation of distilled water. At baseline and at the end of treatment, the lung function was studied; to assess the regulatory function of glucocorticoids using non-genomic signaling pathways, the levels of cortisol in blood serum and cAMP in blood leukocytes were determined. Results. Patients of group 1 in comparison with the second one initially had a lower FEV1 ‒ 88.2±5.3 and 98.5±1.7%, respectively (p<0.05), after treatment in both groups there was a slight tendency to an increase in FEV1 (98.5±5.7 and 101.4±2.5%, respectively, p>0.05). The concentration of cortisol and cAMP at baseline and after 24 weeks of therapy in patients of group 1 was 588.7±32.0 and 495.0±48.7 nmol/L, 61.7±5.1 and 76.5±5, 2 pmol/106 cells (p<0.01); in group 2 − 610.5±20.1 and 522.2±15.60 nmol/L (p<0.001), 76.2±2.2 and 90.6±2.5 pmol/106 cells (p<0.001). Conclusion. In asthma patients with airway osmotic hyperresponsiveness, persistent adaptation to osmotic stress is traced, which is combined with a more significant impairment of the lung function and indicates insufficient therapeutic control over glucocorticoid regulation of osmotic stress by the selected volume of ICS/LABA therapy.

Summary. Background: Prosthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI) is a complication with high mortality. Cyanoacrylate (CA) is an adhesive which has been used in a number of surgical procedures. In this in-vivo study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between PVGI and CA. Materials and methods: Thirty-two rats were equally divided into four groups. Pouch was formed on back of rats until deep fascia. In group 1, vascular graft with polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) was placed into pouch. In group 2, MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected into pouch. In group 3, 1 cm 2 vascular graft with PET piece was placed into pouch and MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected. In group 4, 1 cm 2 vascular graft with PET piece impregnated with N-butyl cyanoacrylate-based adhesive was placed and MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected. All rats were scarified in 96th hour, culture samples were taken where intervention was performed and were evaluated microbiologically. Bacteria reproducing in each group were numerically evaluated based on colony-forming unit (CFU/ml) and compared by taking their average. Results: MRSA reproduction of 0 CFU/ml in group 1, of 1410 CFU/ml in group 2, of 180 200 CFU/ml in group 3 and of 625 300 CFU/ml in group 4 was present. A statistically significant difference was present between group 1 and group 4 (p < 0.01), between group 2 and group 4 (p < 0.01), between group 3 and group 4 (p < 0.05). In terms of reproduction, no statistically significant difference was found in group 1, group 2, group 3 in themselves. Conclusions: We observed that the rate of infection increased in the cyanoacyrylate group where cyanoacrylate was used. We think that surgeon should be more careful in using CA in vascular surgery.
