Marital Behavior

129 alcoholic wоmen were observed from families witl1 alcoholic addiction. Study of social and psychologic factors, ensuring formation of paired, coupled alcoholism showed the importance of choosing а marital partner. Some main reasons of choosing by а women а partner with alcoholic habits were given: 1) more frequent alcohol consumption, less resistance to alcohol; 2) their belonginess to alcoholic environment; 3) as а result of formed stereotype of marital behavior; 4) in accordance with similar character features. These peculiarities are to be taken into consideration in accomplishing medical and psychologic activities for early diagnostics of alcoholic couples.

Research Goal

Congenital heart defects are anomalies that are becoming more and more frequent every year. Their specific weight is the highest among all the defects and malformations in fetus. Besides, children with sporadic congenital heart defects and malformations are still born rather frequently. We made an assumption that congenital heart defects (CHD) and congenital malformations (CM) were formed due to inflammatory process decompensation within «mother – fetus» system occurring in case of a conflict as per HLA between a semi-allogenic fetus and its mother’s microenvironment. A risk of such a conflict might be associated with certain HLA combinations in parents’ genotypes. Our research goal was to reveal peculiarities of HLA-DRB1 alleles combinations in married couples who had children with sporadic CHD and CM without any chromosome diseases and to determine whether such peculiarities could cause risks of congenital anomalies. We determined frequency of 14 alleles in HLA-DRB1 gene in all people who took part in the research. Our research allowed establishing that parents whose children suffered from CHD more frequently had common HLA-DRB104, female HLA-DRB107 with male HLA-DRB113, HLA-DRB117 and female HLA-DRB113 with male HLA-DRB114. Children who suffered from CM more frequently had parents who were homologous as per HLA-DRB112, as well as with female HLA-DRB112 and male HLA-DRB101, HLA-DRB104, HLA-DRB113, and HLA-DRB115; this greater frequency was statistically significant. We also detected an authentic increase in frequency of HLA-DRB112 allele in children against their parents. Children with CM also had HLA-DRB112 allele statistically significantly more frequently than healthy children. Peculiarities related to HLA-DRB1 alleles combination are genetic predictors of CHD and CM occurrence; their determination will allow minimizing risks of such disorders due to early diagnostics and timely prevention.

Associated Pair

Data are reported from a pilot study designed to compare a Free Association Test for married couples with the standard individual form. Results from one group of five couples indicate that presence of marital partner is likely to alter the pattern and increase the levels of anxiety and hostility expressed by a person, even though congruence between spouses is not enhanced. Couples' scores may provide the basis for profiles of different types of marital pairs. A more comprehensive evaluation of the dyadic technique seems desirable, particularly since it can be used to analyze a range of “associated” pair relationships.

Prevalence Of Depression

Objective. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression in aged spouse pairs and the associations between the occurrence of depression in one spouse (respondent) and the variables representing the respondent himself/herself and his/her partner. Method. Elderly (65 years or older) male (N = 176) and female (N = 176) spouses who constituted married couples that had participated in the epidemiological study on depression in old age conducted in Ähtäri, Finland, in 1989-1990 made up the study series. The data were collected by postal questionnaires, interviews, and clinical investigations. Depression was determined according to the DSM-III criteria. Results. Both husband and wife were depressed in 5.7% of the married couples. The husband was depressed and the wife was nondepressed in 10.2% of the couples; and the wife was depressed and the husband nondepressed in 10.8% of the couples. Among male respondents, poor physical health of the respondent, poor marital or family relations felt by the respondent, poor family relations felt by the marital partner, and a loss of the father by the marital partner while the partner was under 20 years of age were independently related to depression. Lowered functional abilities of the respondent was the only factor independently associated with the occurrence of depression in female respondents. Conclusions. The coexistence of depression in both elderly spouses is not uncommon. The results also give some evidence to suggest that the vulnerability for the development of depression in the wives may have some effects on the development of depression in elderly men.

Dark Contrast

A prominent characteristic of high-resolution images of 6H-SiC viewed from [110] is a zigzag shape with a period of 6 layers as shown in Fig.1. Sometimes the contrast is same through the 6 layers of (0006) planes (Fig.1a), but in most cases it appears as in Fig.1b -- alternate bright/dark contrast among every three (0006) planes. Alternate bright/dark contrast is most common for the thicker specimens. The SAD patterns of these two types of image are almost same, and there is no indication that the difference results from compositional ordering. O’Keefe et al. concluded this type of alternate contrast was due to crystal tilt in thick parts of the specimen. However, no detailed explanation was given. Images of similar character from Ti3Al, which is also a hexagonal crystal, were reported by Howe et al. Howe attributed the bright/dark contrast among alternate (0002) Ti3Al planes to phase shifts produced by incident beam tilt.
