Forty-four patients with chronic gastric ulcer were compared with a control group matched for age, sex, and place of residence. The personality pattern was studied by the Eysenck Personality Inventory and personality assessed in terms of neuroticism and extroversion. The relevance of social class was also studied. The gastric ulcer population did not differ from the control group except among the male population, in which the gastric ulcer population was significantly more neurotic and less extroverted than their controls.

In the Institute of Maritime Medicine EEG, endoscopic and psychiatric-neurological examinations were carried out in 169 cases of peptic ulcer of the stomach or duodenum. Low-voltage and abnormal records were associated usually with larger ulcers of the stomach or duodenum. These abnormalities were significantly more frequent in cases of duodenal ulcer than in stomach ulcer, and were characteristic fora cases with symptoms of neurosis. EEG changes are due, according to the authors, to coexistent emotional disturbances or neurosis.

Psychological correlates of gastric and duodenal ulcer disease were assessed in a group of somewhat older patients with ulcer disease identified by endoscopy. Associations between both ulcer types and symptom measures (anxiety and depression) seemed only to reflect severity or chronicity of gastrointestinal symptoms or the impending endoscopy procedure. Associations with 'trait' psychological indices may be of causal significance. Duodenal ulcer patients had higher 'introversion' and 'psychoticism' scores (on the EPQ) than controls, while gastric ulcer patients had higher psychoticism scores and 'trait anxiety' scores. These findings could not be attributed to confounding variables. When the two ulcer groups were compared, the gastric ulcer group had significantly higher neuroticism, psychoticism and hostility scores which were not attributable to confounding variables. The higher depression scores in gastric ulcer patients, however, simply reflected the greater chronicity of their physical symptoms. The groups did not differ significantly on measures of trait anxiety, tension, introversion or Type A behaviour.

The personality assessment of 96 patients with gastric ulcer (GU) and 70 patients with duodenal ulcer (DU) was carried out using the Cattell Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF). Two control groups were used; one group comprised community controls and the other patient controls--that is, patients with cholelithiasis. Three of the four personality characteristics that distinguished female GU and/or DU patients from controls--emotional instability, tension, and anxiety--and the two characteristics that distinguished male GU patients--low enthusiasm and low self-control--are components of neuroticism. Female GU patients in exacerbation resembled those in remission, and GU and DU patients had similar personality profiles. Although a distinct personality pattern has yet to be identified in peptic ulcer, the results of this study and others suggest that both GU and DU are associated with the personality abnormalities of anxiety and neuroticism.

By means of Eysenck's Maudsley Personality Inventory (MPI), the personality dimensions neuroticism and extraversion were estimated in 1148 control probands (m. 195; f. 953), in 375 patients with x-ray negative dyspepsia (m. 233; f. 142), in 77 males with duodenal ulcer, 42 patients with gastric ulcer (m. 25; f. 17), and 27 patients with gastric cancer (m. 18; f. 9). In x-ray negative dyspepsia and in duodenal ulcer, slightly higher scores for neuroticism and lower scores for extraversion than in controls were found whereas patients with stomach cancer and gastric ulcer are characterized by high emotional stability. It is assumed that knowledge of the patient's personality structure may improve the physician-patient relationship.

The work was carried out in 98 white male rats weighting 200-250 g. Typological properties of behaviour were estimated by locomotor activity in the open field. Neurosis was induced by electro-pain irritation (15 min daily during 3 weeks), accompanied by the white noise (4 h daily). The rats were influenced by air ions generated by Chizhevsky air ionizer ("Elion-132") for 2 h daily during the period of neurotization. It was shown that the degree of some pathological changes in neurosis depended on typological properties of rats. Air ions were established to prevent completely development of physiological changes typical for the model of experimental neuroses, i.e., increase of arterial pressure, Hildebrandt index and gastric ulcer formation. Air ions significantly decreased the number of gastric mucous membrane erosions. Air ions normalized activity of respiratory enzymes (succinate dehydrogenase and NADH-dehydrogenase) in rat brain cells and activated their exploratory behaviour.

Based on the analysis of literature data and our own research, we have developed the original concept of etiology and pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease. An analysis of the literature shows that none of the theories of pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease does not cover the full diversity of the involved functions and their shifts, which lead to the development of ulcers in the stomach and the duodenum. Our neurogenic-genetic theory of etiology and pathogenesis of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer very best explains the cause-and-effect relationships in the patient peptic ulcer, allowing options for predominance in one or the other case factors of neurosis or genetic factors. However, it is clear that the only other: combination of neurogenic factor with genetically modified reactivity of gastroduodenal system (the presence of the target organ) cause the chronicity of the sores. The theory of peptic ulcer disease related to psychosomatic pathologies allows us to develop effective schema therapy, including drugs with psychocorrective action. On the basis of our theory of the role of Helicobacter pylori infection is treated as a pathogenetic factor in the development of peptic ulcer disease.
