The article presents a preliminary analysis of the application of the new non-invasive method of treatment of degenerative-dystrophic diseases of large joints. The aim of the study was to examine the results of the cutaneous insertion of a nitroglycerin solution at a concentration of 2.5 mg/ml with degenerative diseases of knee and hip joint. Materials and methods. In 9 patients studied results: physical, x-ray studies; testing scales: the Oxford Knee Score, KOOS-WOMAC, Lisholm, Leken, Harris; blood gases; pulse oximetry; capillaroscopy. Results. All patients satisfied with treatment, significant pain re-duction, increase range of motion, rejection of the use of means of additional supports, as evidenced by the data evaluation scales. Indicators of blood gas composition, the data of pulse oximetry, capillaroscopy showing improvements in tissue circulation. Conclusions. Cutaneous application of nitroglycerin in the us used concentration improves blood circulation and, as a consequence, the metabolism in the affected joint that can slow the progression of the disease. Ease of use will allow you to apply a method of treating patients not only in hospital but on an outpatient basis.

The article discusses the themes of ethnic stereotypes and lifestyle of indigenous peoples of the North and the non-indigenous peoples. The indigenous peoples identify with their ethnic group, positive evaluation of their perceptions of themselves prevail. The indigenous peoples believe that the representatives of other ethnic groups assess them less positively, and in fact, the representatives of non-indigenous peoples evaluate them even worse than they suppose. The students from the number of indigenous peoples consider as the most important parameters for the evaluation of their lifestyle (factors of evaluations): “unattractiveness - attractiveness”, “peacefulness - hostility”, “melancholy - sanguine”. The students from the number of non-indigenous people consider the most important parameters for the evaluation of their lifestyle: “well-being - ill-being”, “hostility - peacefulness”, “sanguine - melancholy”. The testees of both samples evaluate their lifestyle more positively at the conscious, reflexive level (universals), than at the unconscious, uncontrolled level (implicit factor structure of evaluations). The testees of both samples evaluated their lifestyle completely differently at the unconscious, non-regulated level (factorial structure of evaluations), indigenous people have more introverted, non-indigenous people have more extroverted evaluations.
