Abstract. This replication and extension of DeYoung, Quilty, Peterson, and Gray’s (2014) study aimed to assess the unique variance of each of the 10 aspects of the Big Five personality traits ( DeYoung, Quilty, & Peterson, 2007 ) associated with intelligence and its dimensions. Personality aspects and intelligence were assessed in a sample of French-Canadian adults from real-life assessment settings ( n = 213). Results showed that the Intellect aspect was independently associated with g, verbal, and nonverbal intelligence while its counterpart Openness was independently related to verbal intelligence only, thus replicating the results of the original study. Independent associations were also found between Withdrawal, Industriousness and Assertiveness aspects and verbal intelligence, as well as between Withdrawal and Politeness aspects and nonverbal intelligence. Possible explanations for these associations are discussed.

Histamine Metabolism

Цель исследования - изучение особенностей обмена гистамина при хронической тазовой боли у пациенток с наружным генитальным эндометриозом. Методика. В сыворотке крови 100 пациенток методом высокоточного (в нг/мл) иммуноферментного твердофазного анализа определяли концентрацию гистамина. Использованы реактивы «Histamine ЕLISA», аппарат BAE-1000 Гистамин (Labor Diagnostika Nord - LDN, Германия). Оценка выраженности болевого синдрома осуществлялась по шкале ВАШ, оценка качества жизни - на основании опросника для оценки качества жизни при эндометриозе (EHR-30), оценка тревожности - опросника Спилбергера-Ханина. Результаты. Показано статистически значимое повышение уровня гистамина у пациенток с высокой интенсивностью болевого синдрома. Женщины с наружным генитальным эндометриозом, сопровождающимся интенсивным болевым синдромом в 100% случаев обнаруживали высокие уровни ситуативной и личностной тревожности, тогда как, лишь у 40% женщин (n = 16) контрольной группы выявлен умеренный уровень тревожности. Депрессивные расстройства выявлены у 58,3% женщин с хронической тазовой болью (n = 35), из них основную часть (n = 20) составили женщины с выраженной степенью болевого синдрома по ВАШ. Заключение. Психоэмоциональное состояние женщин с тазовой болью, ассоциированной с наружным генитальным эндометриозом, характеризуется высокими уровнями депрессивных и тревожных расстройств, значительным снижением уровня качества жизни. Выявлена прямая связь между интенсивностью болевого синдрома и уровнем гистамина в периферической крови пациенток с наружным генитальным эндометриозом. Objective. To study features of histamine metabolism in patients with chronic pelvic pain associated with external genital endometriosis. Methods. For quantitative assessment of histamine level in peripheral blood was taken from 100 patients which than was centrifuged. In blood serum histamine concentration was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method with reagents «Histamine ЕLISA» on the machine BAE-1000 Histamine (Labor Diagnostika Nord - LDN, Hermany). A pain syndrome was assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), quality of life assessment - by Endometriosis Health Profile Questionnaire (EHR-30), level of anxiety was determined by Spielberger-Khanin questionnaire. The results. Showed statistically higher histamine level in patients with severe pain according to VAS. After assessment of results obtained from Spielberger-Khanin questionnaire 100% experimental group’s women with external genital endometriosis (n = 60) were noted to be have high level of state and trait anxiety, then 40% women of control group (n = 16) have moderate level of anxiety. The incidence of depression in women with chronic pelvic pain was 58.3% (n = 35) and the main part (n = 20) were women with severe stage of pelvic pain according to VAS. Conclusions. Psycho emotional condition of women with external genital endometriosis associated pelvic pain characterized by higher depression and anxiety levels, with significant decrease quality of life. Direct relationship also was found between pain syndrome intensity and histamine level in peripheral blood in patients with external genital endometriosis.

Background: In 1989, Lichtenstein I. L., Shulman A. G., Amid P. K., and Montlor M. M. presented an idea of using Mesh Plug to repair the defect inguinal canal. The new technique quickly became accepted by surgeons all over the world for several reasons: faster overall rehabilitation, less postoperative pain, less complication, shorter stay in the hospital and early return to normal activities and work. Materials and method: From Dec 2011 to July 2012, 42 patients with inguinal hernia were surgically treated with 48 Mesh Plugs applied at the Surgery Unit of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Result: The patients’ average age was 49.12±21.17. There were 25 patients over 40 years old, accounting for 59,5%, and 39 of the group were males, accounting for 92.8%. 10 cases were direct hernia, accounting for 20.8%, and 38 cases were indirect hernia accounting for 79.2%. Based on Nyhus’s classification, there were 33 cases of IIIA and IIIB (68.8%). Based on the position of protrusion, there were 30 cases of right inguinal hernia (62.5%), 18 cases of left inguinal hernia (37.5%), and 6 cases of hernia on both sides. The average size of the deep ring is 2.16±1.64cm. 24 cases used Mesh Plug of medium size (54.5%). The mean operating time was 35.75 minutes. The time of staying in the hospital was 3.52±1.14 days. Quality of life assessment after the surgery showed 46 very good and good cases 95.8% and 2 cases (4.2%) with satisfactory result. No case of bad outcome was recorded. Conclusion: Surgical treatment of inguinal hernia by the Mesh Plug technique is really effective, safe with faster postoperative rehabilitation, less postoperative pain, less complications, shorter hospital stay and early return to normal activities and work.

Materials and method:From December 2011 to October 2012, 97 patients with inguinal hernia were surgically treated with 110 Mesh Plugs applied at the Surgery Unit of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Result:The patients’ mean age was 48.96±23.19. There were 60 patients over 40 years old, accounting for 61.9%, and 93 of the group were males, accounting for 95.8%. 24 cases were direct hernia, accounting for 21.8%, 86 cases were indirect hernia accounting for 78.2% and 11cases were direct hernia associated with indirect hernia. Based on Nyhus’s classification, there were 76 cases of IIIA and IIIB (69.1%). Based on the position of protrusion, there were 66 cases of right inguinal hernia (60.0%), 44 cases of left inguinal hernia (40.0%), and 13 cases of hernia on both sides. The average size of the deep ring is 2.19±1.54cm. 65 cases used Mesh Plug of medium size (59.1%). The mean operating time was 37.26 minutes. The time of staying in the hospital was 3.58±1.17 days. Quality of life assessment after the surgery showed 93 very good and good cases 95.8% and 4 cases (4.2%) with satisfactory result. No case of bad outcome was recorded.
