• Opis:
  Background and aim. Back in 1990, Limansky YP hypothesized acupuncture points (AP) as polymodal receptors of the ecoceptive sensitivity system. In the process of hypothesis development in 2003 an existence of separate functional system of regulation of electromagnetic balance of organism has been substantiated. Recently, our research group found that disturbances of the geomagnetic field (GMF) cause a significant immediate modulating effects on the APs and parameters of neuro-endocrine immune complex. On the other hand, it was shown that the latter as well as metabolic parameters are closely related to the level of blood pressure. Based on the above, we hypothesized that individuals with hypertension, responders and non-responders to GMF changes, differ among themselves in the constellation of neural, endocrine, immune, metabolic and AP parameters. The purpose of this study is to test this hypothesis.  Methods. The object of the study was database of 19 men (37-69 y) and 17 women (33-76 y) with hypertension (Mean±SD: BPs 150±15 mmHg; BPd 87±10 mmHg). Retrospectively, was recorded the geomagnetic Ap-Index and Kp-Index, on the day of testing and during the previous 7 days, using a publicly available information resource https://www.spaceweatherlive.com. The object of the analyses was blood pressure (BP), acupuncture points (AP), EEG, HRV, endocrine, immune and metabolic parameters. Results. Using the cluster analysis method, two groups of individuals with the same hypertension were identified, which manifested itself against the background of significantly different levels of Ap- and Kp-Indexes on the day of testing and during the previous two days, characteristic of a calm or slightly disturbed (for 14 men and 13 women) and significantly disturbed (for 5 men and 4 women) geomagnetic field (GMF), respectively. Screening revealed that significantly disturbed GMF is accompanied by left-sided asymmetry of AP MC(AVL) electrical conductivity as well as beta and alpha rhythms in contrast to their symmetry against the background of calm or slightly disturbed GMF. Regarding quantitative parameters, the first cluster is accompanied, firstly, by reduced levels of monocytes, triiodothyronine, testosterone, atherogenicity, heart rate, and Baevskiy’s Stress Index, in contrast to their normal or elevated levels in the second cluster; second, normal vs. decreased levels of rod-shaped neutrophils, frequency of alpha rhythm and SPD of beta rhythm in T4 locus; third, normal vs. increased levels of creatinine and Popovych’s Strain Index; fourth, increased vs. normal response of systolic BP to brachial artery compression and SPD of delta rhythm in O2 locus. In addition, in the first cluster 23 EEG parameters were found to be decreased or normal vs. normal or increased in the second cluster. Finally, significantly disturbed GMF is accompanied by an increase in the electrical conductivity of the left AP MC(AVL) to a greater extent than calm or slightly disturbed GMF.  Conclusion. In individuals with hypertension, regardless of sex and age, disturbances of the geomagnetic field, even without reaching the storm level, are accompanied by significant modulating, mainly downregulating, effects on recorded parameters of EEG, HRV, immunity and metabolism, apparently through acupuncture points as polymodal receptors of the ecoceptive sensitivity system.
