title: [The psychosomatic correlations in bronchial asthma].
abstract: Combination of somatic symptoms with neurotic manifestations and personality's disturbances in clinical picture of bronchial asthma was established during clinical and psychological observation of 89 patients with bronchial asthma. It was shown that increase of the number of frustrating situations (when psychical vulnerability was elevated), strengthening of both anxiety and emotional tension, as well as rigidity of negative emotions, hypochondriac and anxious-depressive tendencies composed the whole correlational system with alterations in functions of external respiration, changes in blood immunoglobulins levels just as with clinical indices of bronchial asthma. This system represented different levels of psychosomatic correlations' regulation. The complex psychophysiological factor of frustration and emotional tension was described, moreover the increase of its value was accompanied by strengthening of both psychical alterations and somatic disorders which were quite characteristic for prevalence of either trophotropic activation or ergotropic one when beta-adrenoceptors were blocked.
