Functional Conjugation of the Different Regulatory Responses to the Stress Stimuli in Healthy Human Subjects

Abstract

Present article discusses the physiological mechanisms of the state employees adaptation during active training in temporary groups. It is suggested that adaptive mechanisms to adverse effects may be studied basing on the concept of functional isomorphism of the psychic and immune systems. Adaptive mechanisms were studied through the monitoring of the stress factors' impact upon the law enforcement officers when training outside the places of permanent deployment. The specific purpose of present study was to evaluate the physiological indicators of the psychic, immune and endocrine systems dynamics at different stages of adaptation of the live organism to a stressful situation, hoping to get better insight into possible relations between psychic and immune domains. Through monitoring of the dynamics of the endocrine and immune responses to the psychic stimuli, it was possible to correlate the stages of the stress onset to the phases of specific immune reactions. Strong correlations between the parameters characterizing activation of the psychic and immune responses support the hypothesis of the presence of "strong cooperation" between psychic and immune domains. It supports earlier hypothesis that we are monitoring different manifestations of the functioning of a complex inseparable psycho-immune meta-system.

A Way to Health Through Psycho-Immunological Well-Being: Example of Indigenous People of Russian North

“…Such situations can help clarify certain tendencies and draw better conclusions as the errors in the resulting statistics tend to be smaller (Sukhovey et al, 2016). In this case, we have chosen an ethnic group of indigenous people of the Russian North, Forest Nenets, relatively small isolated population with very traditional lifestyle disturbed today by industrialization and urbanization.…”
