The paper describes the results of the analysis of biological rhythms of blood pressure in patients with psoriasis living in the northern region. Comparative analysis of blood pressure chronograms shows that in patients with psoriasis there are changes in the rhythmic pattern with the appearance of short-term ultra-dian rhythms, a decrease in synchronization between systolic and diastolic blood pressure without a significant increase in the average daily level.
Key words: psoriasis, blood pressure, biological rhythms.
Diseases of cardio-vascular system in currently are the leading cause of death and disability in most of the developed world. Data regarding mortality and cardiovascular risk factors in cutaneous psoriasis are conflicting. A large number of studies have shown increased cardiovascular morbidity in patients with psoriasis.
At the same time, Robert S. Stern (2010) points out in his work that psoriasis is not an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. According to the author, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in psoriasis is due to the influence of classical risk factors, and therefore patients with psoriasis need only adequate correction of risk factors. A.L. Neiman et al. (2006) when examining a large sample of patients with mild and severe psoriasis found more than two- and three-fold increase in arterial hypertension (AH) compared with healthy people. According to the results of numerous studies in psoriasis, the level of arterial hypertension is significantly higher than in the control group. Numerous data indicate a high prevalence of AH in psoriatic arthritis, AH occurs in 49% with associated
ciated psoriasis. Similar data are given by O. Kimhi et al. (2007): AH was detected in 25% of patients with psoriatic arthritis and in 3% of controls.
The data presented in the available works on the study of cardiovascular pathology in patients with psoriatic disease are quite contradictory. At the same time, all authors studying the problem of the relationship between psoriasis and diseases of the heart and blood vessels indicate that it is still unclear whether damage to the heart and blood vessels is a systemic manifestation of psoriasis or whether hypertension and psoriasis are independent conditions that have similar pathogenetic mechanisms.
The study of the frequency of occurrence and features of the course of hypertension in psoriasis needs further clarification, taking into account the complex climatic and geographical factors of the northern region, where arterial hypertension is more common than in the general Russian population, and geographical differentiation suggests an increase in the incidence of psoriasis in high latitudes.
Objects and methods of research. The subject of the study was a sample of patients observed in the BU "Khanty-Mansi Clinical Dermatovenerologic Dispensary". For a comparative analysis of disorders of blood pressure regulation and the formation of hypertension associated with stress

exposure to chronic dermatosis examined 62 patients diagnosed with widespread psoriasis vulgaris, progressive stage (study group). The number of men and women (28 and 34 people, respectively) aged 22 to 48 years. To assess the influence of the factors of the northern region on the chronophysiological parameters of blood pressure, “conditionally healthy” people living in the city of Khanty-Mansiysk were examined - a comparison group (28 people) with an approximate correspondence of the age and sex composition of the study group.
All patients according to the standard scheme using the oscillometric method, on the equipment of the BRLB of the company Petr Telegin LLC, Russia. Measurements were taken every 30 minutes during the day. Data analysis was carried out in the case of at least 80% of successful measurements.
To test the hypothesis about the influence of ultradyne oscillations on the overall picture and to evaluate desynchronosis, a program was used that uses wavelet analysis to estimate the rhythmic structure of individual parameters and evaluates the intersystem synchronization and coherence of the described parameters. A wavelet is a mathematical function that allows you to analyze the various frequency components of the data. Signal analysis is carried out in the plane of ^ "ayeM-coefficients (scale-time-level). The obtained spectrograms are fundamentally different
differ from the usual Fourier spectra in that they give a clear binding of the spectrum of various signals to time. The following rhythm parameters were analyzed: the average daily level of the indicator, periods of constant and intercalary rhythms with acrophases, amplitude changes during the day depending on the maximum rhythmic activity, the concepts of rhythm power and energy were introduced, and the index of synchronism of the studied parameters during the day was calculated to assess intrasystemic desynchronosis.
Results of the study and their discussion. When analyzing the parameters of the rhythms of the studied indicators, it is found that the average daily levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with psoriasis in the study group (GI), although they do not reach a pathological level, can be considered, in accordance with the classification, "high normal blood pressure" - 131.01 ± 4.27 mmHg Art. (HS - 126.82 ± 5.64 mm Hg), dynamics of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is similar (HI - 84.1 ± 2.28 mm Hg; HS - 83.16 ± 3, 07 mm Hg), with insignificant intergroup differences. The analysis of rhythmic components shows (Table 1) that in the comparison group (GS) there is mainly a circadian component and a 12-hour ultradian rhythm with a rather high energy level.

In patients with psoriasis, along with 24- and 12-hour components, significant short-period intercalary rhythms with periods from 7.9 to 2.6 hours are found, which significantly change the daily curve of SBP and DBP.
When comparing the dispersion coefficients of the phases describing the relationship between SBP/DBP, according to wavelet analysis, it is found that the relationship between the cardiac and vascular components is reduced in the group of patients with psoriasis (GI SBP/DBP k = 0.356; GS SBP/DBP k = 0.784).
Synchronization during the day varies unequally; in the GS, the synchronization of indicators changes quite physiologically, with an increase during the daytime and a decrease at night. In patients with psoriasis, the synchronicity index practically does not change during the day, which may indicate the tension of regulatory mechanisms and the narrowing of the adaptive "corridor" of fluctuations in response to endogenous and exogenous influences.
Thus, in patients with psoriasis, disturbances in the circadian structure of BP rhythms are detected, manifested by the appearance of ultra-dian short-period rhythms and a decrease in physiological synchronization fluctuations during the day. It can be assumed that even in the absence of arterial hypertension in patients with psoriasis, pathological intrasystemic desynchronosis is observed, due to a violation of the regulatory mechanisms of blood pressure.

On the night of February 26, Novaya Gazeta published an article "Sons of the Fatherland", which tells about Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the defense industry, his probable nephew Roman, FSB General Sergei Beseda, and his sons Alexei and Alexander. Roman Rogozin and Aleksey Beseda, according to Novaya Gazeta, may be involved in the organization of a military project under the import substitution program, which has not been implemented for more than five years. From the budget, the newspaper writes, almost a billion rubles were allocated for this project.
Journalists from Novaya Gazeta managed to obtain confirmation that Aleksey Beseda was indeed the son of an FSB general, but it was not officially possible to confirm the relationship between Dmitry and Roman Rogozin. The vice-premier's representative told the newspaper that "Dmitry Rogozin does not have a nephew named Roman" and "does not have a nephew at all."
In 2010-11, Rogozin posted at least six tweets about his nephew Roman Rogozin.
Screenshot from here
"The nephew sent a photo from Chad, where he is serving in a group of Russian wind pilots," - this is how Dmitry Rogozin signed this photo, the link to which he posted on his Twitter on June 17, 2010.
Thermal imager - eyes modern army: it is used in armored forces, military aviation, special forces. With its help, combat operations can be conducted around the clock and in conditions of poor visibility. The key element of this device is a special matrix. It is produced in only a few countries of the world, and Russia has been dependent on its imports for many years. After the imposition of sanctions against Russian military enterprises, the production of their own matrices became a national security issue.Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the military-industrial complex in the government, promised back in 2012 that we were about to launch the production of our own matrices.
In 2013, under a strategic task, a company was created, and "Rogozin's nephew" immediately appeared on its board of directors. Five years have passed since then...
February 27, 10:15 am Dmitry Rogozin commented on the situation on Facebook, saying that he never had nephews.
Novaya Gazeta has recently been marked by several attacks against me. Whether by order, or at the call of his liberal heart. In today's issue, they wrote that my "nephew" is on the boards of directors of a number of defense enterprises, and this is very bad.Interesting people are Russian liberals, especially those who can read and write. But at least check the facts before posting anything!
1. I don't have a nephew named Roman. And never was.
2. I never had any nephews at all.
3. My non-existent nephews have never been on the boards of directors of the companies listed in your publication. There are about 1,500 enterprises in the MIC register, and it is likely that among their two million employees there will be not only the Ivanovs, Petrovs, and Sidorovs, but also the owners of my last name.
4. Among my distant relatives there is a young officer named Roman. Maybe you meant it? But he has served all his life in Armed Forces, has never worked in commercial structures.In short, study the materiel before you take up the pen!
Deputy Prime Minister disowns relationship with a man holding major positions in the defense industry
After journalists learned that about a billion rubles from the budget were wasted on creating an enterprise for the production of electronic matrices for thermal imagers, and the enterprise was run by the son of FSB General Sergei Beseda and Roman Rogozin, whom Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin had previously called his nephew, the latter decided to renounce kinship with an "effective" leader. The official said that he never had a nephew and deleted his own statements about his relative Roman Rogozin from social networks.
Dmitry Rogozin replied to " Novaya Gazeta» about the Photoelectronic Devices company, created for the production of domestic matrices used in the assembly of army thermal imagers. The publication revealed a scheme according to which a strategically important production went to an offshore company of the son of an FSB general Sergei Conversations, and also signed the participation of a person whom Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin had previously called his nephew, in the management of various defense industry enterprises. According to journalists, the Roman Rogozin could use the position of his "uncle" to obtain large government contracts for those companies that he led. To avoid accusations of a conflict of interest, Dmitry Rogozin publicly stated that he never had the nephew that Novaya Gazeta is talking about.
This is how family ties are broken
Dmitry Rogozin made his statement on personal Facebook page. However, the official nevertheless admitted that he still has a certain relative Roman, however, according to the vice-premier, he never worked in commercial structures. But Dmitry Rogozin ignored his own tweets, written back in 2011, which Novaya Gazeta journalists cited to confirm their guesses. Most of these tweets have now been removed from Rogozin's page.
Source: Novaya Gazeta The connection between Roman Rogozin from Dmitry Rogozin's tweets with Roman Rogozin from the management of Photoelectronic Devices and the management of the Ulyanovsk and Tula Cartridge Plants is also confirmed by the common date of birth - July 3. This "accidental" coincidence was discovered thanks to a scan of the passport of Roman Rogozin, who got to journalists - the Roman who ran defense enterprises and whose photo looks suspiciously like a photo of his "nephew" from Twitter.
“A man named Roman Mikhailovich Rogozin also served on the boards of directors of the Ulyanovsk and Tula cartridge factories and worked as deputy director of the Industrial Technologies group of companies, which produces Orsis rifles. Their Dmitry Rogozin repeatedly advertised; these rifles are about to enter service with the National Guard. The year of birth of Roman Rogozin is mentioned in the annual reports of the cartridge factories: it also coincides with the dates of birth from LiveJournal of the “nephew” of the Deputy Prime Minister and Roman Rogozin’s passport ”- writes "New".
It is noteworthy that Roman Rogozin got to the position of deputy director of Promtekhnologii shortly after leaving this position Alexey Rogozin- the son of Dmitry Rogozin, whom the latter did not refuse after revealing a conflict of interest several years ago. By the way, recently Alexei Rogozin has been working as the head of the Ilyushin aviation complex and vice president of the United Aircraft Corporation for transport aviation. Dmitry Rogozin (this time) notified the management in advance about the places of work of his son and avoided proceedings.
In connection with this story, it is worth remembering the still niece of Dmitry Rogozin - Daria Filippova, the daughter of the Deputy Prime Minister's sister. In 2017, she was appointed to the post of Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Crimea, which she left for unknown reasons three weeks after her appointment. From this place, Daria Filippova decided to move to Sochi - to the leadership of the Sochi National Park. PASMI reported that this appointment: for the sake of a relative of an influential official without proper work experience, the previous honored head of the organization, Nikolai Penkovsky, was fired.
About the project of creating domestic thermal imagers for the army, on which almost a billion rubles was wasted. One of the heroes was Roman Rogozin, whom the relevant Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has repeatedly called his nephew on Twitter. Immediately after the publication, a representative of Rogozin Sr. stated that he did not have any nephew, and the tweets mentioning him disappeared. This is not the first alleged relative of the Deputy Prime Minister who gets into scandalous stories.
Disappeared nephew
- The alleged nephew of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Roman, is on the board of directors of the Photoelectronic Devices company, established in 2013, which, after the imposition of sanctions, was supposed to launch the production of domestic matrices for a thermal imager. The project received almost a billion rubles from government agencies, but the production of matrices never began, according to an investigation by Novaya Gazeta.
- A few years ago, Dmitry Rogozin called Roman several times on Twitter "nephew" and talked about his military service in Africa. But today, an assistant to Dmitry Rogozin told Novaya Gazeta that the Deputy Prime Minister does not have a nephew named Roman and "does not have a nephew at all." At the same time, after a conversation between journalists and an assistant to the Deputy Prime Minister, references to the “nephew” began to disappear from Rogozin’s Twitter.
Son with no conflicts of interest
Fickle niece
- Another alleged niece of Rogozin, Daria Filippova, according to Kommersant, graduated from the journalism department of Moscow State University, and in 1994-2013 she worked in commercial organizations associated with her mother, the sister of Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Filippova.
- In 2017, Filippova also moved to the civil service - she took the post of Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Crimea, but three weeks later she resigned of her own free will. “I arrived, worked for three weeks and left, we still didn’t understand what it was,” employees of the Crimean ministry told Kommersant.
- Six months later, in the summer of 2017, Filippova received a new position - acting. director of the Sochi National Park. The appointment was accompanied by a scandal with the previous head of the park, Nikolai Penkovsky. In April, Penkovsky, according to him, received a call from the Ministry of Natural Resources and was offered to employ a "young specialist" Filippova. The director was surprised by her seniority and lack of experience, but offered her a position in the Association of Reserves and National Parks. The woman agreed and asked to allocate an office "for the team." Penkovsky advised to resolve this issue in Moscow. Filippova left and returned in June to replace Penkovsky himself: he was called to Moscow and relieved of his post, which he had held since 2002.
- As a result, Filippova occupied this position for only two months - at the end of summer, director
Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Rogozin spoke on his personal Facebook about the Novaya Gazeta article “Sons of the Fatherland”, where we, in particular, as Roman Rogozin, the man whom the Deputy Prime Minister called “nephew” on Twitter, worked in enterprises of the military-industrial complex . And his "uncle", who oversees the defense industry, lobbied for the interests of these enterprises.
On his Facebook Dmitry Rogozin done a post that was deleted a day later, but many of its reprints have survived. We present in full:
Novaya Gazeta has recently been marked by several attacks against me. Whether by order, or at the call of his liberal heart. In today's issue, they wrote that my "nephew" is on the boards of directors of a number of defense enterprises, and this is very bad. Interesting people are Russian liberals, especially those who can read and write. But at least check the facts before posting anything! I don't have a nephew named Roman. And never was. Among my distant relatives is a young officer named Roman. Maybe you meant it? But he has been serving in the Armed Forces all his life, he has never worked in commercial structures. In short, study the materiel before you take up the pen!Meanwhile, in 2010-2011, in his personal Twitter, Rogozin mentioned “Rogozin’s nephew” at least six times, repeatedly called him "his nephew." Most of these tweets were removed from the profile after a conversation with Novaya Gazeta.
On Twitter, Rogozin Sr. also gave a link to this person's LiveJournal (the tweet has been deleted, but is available in the Google cache). The profile referenced by the Deputy Prime Minister indicates the LJ user's date of birth: July 3. Novaya Gazeta has a copy of the passport of Roman Mikhailovich Rogozin, who was on the board of directors of the Photoelectronic Devices company. This company was created to solve a strategic task for the Russian army: the production of matrices for thermal imagers, which Russia still has to import from abroad. The date of birth of Roman Rogozin from Photoelectronic Devices coincides with the date of birth of the LiveJournal user and the “nephew” referred to by the Deputy Prime Minister on Twitter.
A man named Roman Mikhailovich Rogozin also served on the boards of directors of the Ulyanovsk and Tula cartridge factories and worked as deputy director of the Industrial Technologies group of companies, which manufactures Orsis rifles. Their Dmitry Rogozin repeatedly advertised; these rifles are about to enter service with the National Guard. The year of birth of Roman Rogozin is mentioned in the annual reports of cartridge factories: he also coincides with the dates of birth from LiveJournal of the "nephew" of the Deputy Prime Minister and the passport of Roman Rogozin.
And, finally, the photograph in the passport matches the photographs of the "nephew", which were published by Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin himself.
Photo from social networks of Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin (left) and photo from Roman Rogozin's passport For some reason, Dmitry Rogozin forgot to mention in his Facebook post that he had three weeks to answer journalists' questions in detail. Here are some of them:
- Practically from the beginning of the founding of the Promtekhnologii company, which owns the Orsis rifle factory, your son Alexei worked there as a deputy director. When you were appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Collegium of the Military Industrial Commission Russian Federation, Alexei Rogozin resigned as deputy director of Promtekhnologii. As you wrote on your Facebook page, you made this decision together, it was not easy, his departure was necessary in order to avoid a conflict of interest. But after a short time, your nephew, Roman Rogozin, became the deputy director of Promtekhnologii. Do you see this as a conflict of interest? Do you use your official position to help your nephew?
- Your nephew Roman Rogozin also served on the board of directors of the Ulyanovsk and Tula cartridge factories, which over the past five years have received government contracts from various military structures worth about 3 billion rubles. Is the receipt of government contracts from enterprises of the military-industrial complex that you supervise related to the fact that your nephew works in the company?
- Roman Rogozin also served on the board of directors of Photoelectronic Instruments, a joint venture between the state institute Cyclone, which is part of Rostec, and a private investor who hides behind a chain of companies in offshore jurisdictions. The Photoelectronic Instruments company was established to produce microbolometric arrays, one of the key components in thermal imagers. The company planned to get a loan from Vnesheconombank for 2.3 billion rubles to launch the project. According to our information, you wrote a letter in support of this project to the head of Vnesheconombank. Could you clarify whether you really signed a letter in support of the project? Did the fact that your nephew was on the board of directors of this company influence your decision to support the project?
Since the Deputy Prime Minister prefers to respond to journalists on social networks, we turn to the readers of Novaya Gazeta for help. Let's try together to bring our questions to the Deputy Prime Minister in social networks. Maybe there he will finally explain the difference between "his nephew" and his non-nephew?
questions to Dmitry Rogozin
1. What is your real relation to the person whom you have repeatedly called your nephew in social networks?
2. Why did you delete tweets mentioning “your nephew” Roman Rogozin after receiving a request from Novaya Gazeta?
3. Why do the photographs of your “distant relative Roman”, who “serves all his life in the Armed Forces, never worked in commercial structures” coincide with photographs of a person who was on the boards of directors of Photoelectronic Devices, as well as the Tula and Ulyanovsk Cartridge Plants?
4. Why do the dates of birth of your “distant relative Roman” coincide with the dates of birth of Roman Rogozin, who was a member of the boards of directors of Photoelectronic Devices, as well as the Tula and Ulyanovsk Cartridge Plants?
5. If Roman Rogozin is in fact not your nephew, but another relative, do you still see a conflict of interest in the fact that a person close to you works at the enterprises of the industry that you supervise?
