Antiplatelet and Antithrombotic Properties of Compound L-36, a 6H-1,3,4-Thiadiazine Derivative.

Compound L-36, a new derivative of 6H-1,3,4-thiadiazine, was studied in in vitro and in vivo experiments. This compound exhibits high antiplatelet and antithrombogenic activity. In in vitro experiments, compound L-36 by its antiplatelet activity (by IC50) was superior to acetylsalicylic acid by 9.4 times. In in vivo experiments, compound L-36 by its ED50 value was close to the comparison drug. On the model of pulmonary artery thrombosis, compound L-36 ensured better survival of experimental animals than acetylsalicylic acid. Morphological studies showed that compound L-36 effectively attenuated the thrombosis processes in the pulmonary tissue induced by intravenous injection of a thrombogenic mixture (epinephrine and collagen).

Evaluation of the Possibility of Axial Psoriatic Arthritis Patients Meeting Classification Criteria for Axial Spondyloarthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis.

The objective of the study was to analyze whether axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) patients meet classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A total of 104 patients (66 men and 38 women) with PsA according to CASPAR criteria were examined, all patients had back pain. Patients were evaluated for presence of inflammatory back pain (IBP) by ASAS criteria. Back pain not meeting the ASAS criteria was taken to be chronic back pain (chrBP). Patients underwent hands, feet and pelvis, cervical spine and lumbar spine X-rays. Erosions, osteolysis, and juxta-articular new bone formation were evaluated. Definite radiographic sacroiliitis (d-rSI) was defined as bilateral grade ≥ 2 or unilateral grade ≥ 3. Nineteen patients without d-rSI underwent sacroiliac joints MRI. Ninety-three patients underwent HLA B27 examination. The number of patients who met the criteria for axSpA (ASAS) and the modified New York (mNY) criteria for AS was determined. IBP was identified in 67 (64.4%) patients; chrBP, in 37 (35.6%) patients; 31 (29.8%) patient were of older age (over 40) at the onset of IBP/chrBP; 57 (58.8%) patients had d-rSI; 6 (31.6%) patients had MRI-SI; syndesmophytes were detected in 57 (58.8%) cases. Among 40 patients without d-rSI, 19 (47.5%) had syndesmophytes. In 38/97 (39.2%) patients d-rSI was detected along with syndesmophytes, while 19/97 (19.6%) patients had isolated d-rSI without spondylitis, and 19/97 (19.6%) patients had isolated syndesmophytes without d-rSI. HLA B27 was present in 28 (30.1%) cases. 51 (55.4%) patients met criteria for axSpA. Forty-one (44.6%) patients did not meet criteria for axSpA; however, 27 (65.9%) of them had syndesmophytes. Forty-eight (48.5%) PsA patients met mNY criteria for AS. Among these patients, a set of specific features was revealed: 18 (37.5%) had no IBP, 18 (37.5%) were of older age (over 40) at the onset of IBP/chrBP, 34 (70.8%) had dactylitis, 38 (79.2%) had erosive polyarthritis, 23 (48.8%) had juxta-articular new bone formation, 14 (30.2%) had osteolysis, 23 (48.9%) had "chunky" non-marginal syndesmophytes, and 40 (82.6%) had nail psoriasis; 28 (66.6%) patients were HLA-B27 negative. Forty-five percent of axPsA patients do not meet criteria for axSpA. Characteristic features have been identified to differentiate axPsA from AS.

[Fatal case of rhinocerebral mucormycosis on the background of type II diabetes mellitus]. / Letal'nyi sluchai rinotserebral'nogo mukormikoza na fone sakharnogo diabeta 2-go tipa.

Mucormycosis is a disease caused by fungi of the Mucorales family, widespread in the environment, with pronounced angiotropism and the ability to angioinvasion, leading to thrombosis with surrounding necrosis. The main triggers for the development of mucormycosis are: immunodeficiency states, use of glucocorticosteroid drugs, decompensation of diabetes mellitus, concomitant diseases, age > 65 years. We present a clinical case of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a 79-year-old patient against the background of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis, a condition after previous glucocorticosteroid therapy for COVID-19 (according to the severity of the disease). After suffering a new coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, she was admitted to the hospital with complaints characteristic of mucormycosis. On the 5th day of hospital stay, the patient's condition worsened significantly, despite the correction of the therapy, and on the 12th day the patient died. According to the results of the autopsy, it was established that the rhinocerebral mucormycosis was complicated by thrombosis of the anterior and posterior left cerebral arteries with subsequent infarctions in the frontal lobe and parieto-occipital region of the brain left hemisphere, cerebral edema, which was the immediate cause of death.

Universal Maximum Strength of Solid Metals and Alloys.

Interstitial electron density ρ_{o} is offered as a direct metric for maximum strength in metals, arising from universal properties derived from an electron gas. ρ_{o} sets the exchange-correlation parameter r_{s} in density-functional theory. It holds also for maximum shear strength τ_{max} in polycrystals [M. Chandross and N. Argibay, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 125501 (2020)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.124.125501]. Elastic moduli and τ_{max} for polycrystalline (amorphous) metals are linear with ρ_{o} and melting T_{m} (glass-transition T_{g}) temperature. ρ_{o} or r_{s}, even with rule-of-mixture estimate, predicts relative strength for rapid, reliable selection of high-strength alloys with ductility, as confirmed for elements to steels to complex solid solutions, and validated experimentally.

Growth Induction of Solid Ehrlich Ascitic Carcinoma in Mice after Proton Irradiation of Tumor Cells Ex Vivo.

This study presents data on the growth rate and frequency of induction of the solid form of Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma (EAC) in mice in the short and long term after inoculation of ascitic cells irradiated ex vivo with a proton beam in the dose range of 30-150 Gy. It was shown that the growth rate of solid tumors after inoculation of irradiated cells ex vivo coincided with the growth of tumors in the control group. The frequency of tumor induction in mice after inoculation of EAC cells irradiated at a dose of 30 Gy was 80%, 60 Gy-60%, 90 Gy-25%, and 120 Gy-10%; at irradiation at a dose of 150 Gy, no tumors appeared during the entire observation period. Thus, we determined the dose of proton radiation required to eliminate tumor cells and/or signaling factors that can lead to the induction of tumor growth of EAC in mice.

[Treatment of ventral hernias in patients with morbid obesity]. / Taktika lecheniya ventral'nykh gryzh u patsientov s morbidnym ozhireniem.

The review is devoted to the treatment of ventral hernias in patients with morbid obesity. This issue is important due to significant number of such patients and no unambiguous clinical recommendations. The advantages of simultaneous surgery (with bariatric intervention) are obvious, i.e. lower risk of postoperative hernia incarceration and no need for re-hospitalization with another intervention. High risk of bariatric population makes it necessary to minimize surgery time and surgical trauma. A staged approach with reducing body weight surgically or conservatively before hernia repair is often chosen. Hernia repair should be performed using laparoscopic or robotic techniques with obligatory use of mesh implants. Panniculectomy or abdominoplasty as the main surgery is a valid option. Currently, it is necessary to develop clear criteria for selecting patients with morbid obesity for staged and simultaneous treatment of ventral hernias.

The paper presents the results of the development of an onboard two-stage telescope monitoring (control) system of the Millimetron space observatory. A 3D laser scanner is used for the preliminary inspection of the reflector elements, and an image analyzer based on the Foucault knife method is used for the final one. The results of the calculation and modeling of the monitoring system for tuning the telescope elements into space are presented. The signals formed in the system are calculated, including using data on the actual shape of the manufactured mirror elements. Estimates of the expected measurement accuracy are given, and the test results of the developed system are presented.

Radioprotective Effect of Nanocerium by Irradiation of Mice with Carbon Ions in Medium and Lethal Doses.

The data of the study of the radioprotective properties of nanocerium (nCeO2) after total irradiation of mice with carbon ions in medium and lethal doses according to the micronucleus test and the criterion of 30-day survival are presented. A significant protective effect of nCeO2 upon irradiation at medium doses was observed at per os administration for 5 days before irradiation (that is, at long-term prophylactic use). Mouse survival data showed no protective effect of per os administration of nCeO2 in contrast to the micronucleus test results. After injections of both nCeO2 and saline solution 24 h before or immediately after irradiation, the radioprotective effect was detected using both methods. The data obtained revealed the dependence of the observed effects on the mode and time of nCeO2 administration, the influence of the solvent, the level of doses and the quality of radiation, as well as demonstrated the possibility of using nanocerium preparations to protect organisms from radiation with high LET values and the importance of further studies of the radioprotective properties of new nanomaterials.

[COVID-19-associated mucormycosis in ophthalmological practice in the Volgograd region]. / COVID-19-assotsiirovannyi mukormikoz v oftal'mologicheskoi praktike Volgogradskogo regiona.

The problem of fungal infections in the era of COVID-19 has acquired special significance. This infection, directly or indirectly, through the use of glucocorticoids and antibiotics in its treatment, as well as poorer self-management of chronic diseases, has led to a wide spread of risk factors for fungal diseases among people who have had a novel coronavirus infection. The article presents two cases of COVID-19-associated mycosis, more related to mucormycosis, which were diagnosed by ophthalmologists in the Volgograd region. In the first case, the severe course of rhino-orbito-cerebral form of mucormycosis required a number of surgical interventions and prolonged treatment in the intensive care unit. In the second case, the patient asked for help without signs of aggravation of the general condition, but with irreversible local manifestations. In both cases, the eyeball was removed. Morphological examination revealed aseptal ribbon hyphae of different diameters, branching mainly at right angles, more typical for fungi of the Mucorales family. Due to the severe consequences of the disease, clinicians, including ophthalmologists, need to be especially alertness in patients with the described symptoms and risk factors in the post-COVID period.

[Models and sculptural casts in forensic medicine and medical criminology]. / Mulyazhi i skul'pturnye slepki v sudebnoi meditsine i meditsinskoi kriminalistike.

The role of models and death masks in forensic practice, forensic science, and pedagogical activity is addressed.

[Features of pathological anatomy of COVID-19 according to autopsy results in the Volgograd Region]. / Osobennosti patologicheskoi anatomii COVID-19 po rezul'tatam autopsii v Volgogradskoi oblasti.

In connection with the ongoing pandemic of the novel coronavirus infection, the study of its morphopathology and the analysis of autopsy data are relevant. At the same time, attention should be paid to thromboses that play a significant role in the development of fatal outcomes in COVID-19, even taking into account the prescription of anticoagulant therapy to most patients. OBJECTIVE: To make an assessment of morphological changes and a statistical analysis of the structure of mortality in COVID-19 on the basis of autopsy results in the Volgograd Region in 2020. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was based on data from «The system for information on the work of the Volgograd Regional Autopsy Bureau¼ with a search for cases according to U07.1 code (the COVID-19 virus was identified) in January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, as well as on the autopsy materials of the Volgograd Regional Autopsy Bureau, and microscopic examination with photo fixation. Statistical processing was performed using the R programming language. RESULTS: During the above period, 1119 deaths were identified with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. Anatomopathological examination of the autopsy material showed that 77.54% of cases had blood clots mainly in the vessels of the pulmonary microvasculature, often only in the single veins during the applied anticoagulant therapy.Analysis of variance indicated that the obtained result statistically significantly differed from the random distribution, and the probability of the presence of blood clots of specified localization was 3.17 times higher (CI 2.3-4.4; p<0.05) than their absence, as evidenced by logistic regression. In addition, perivascular and intra-alveolar diapedesis hemorrhages were noted in most fatal cases. CONCLUSION: Thus, this investigation has revealed that the high frequency of thrombosis detected in the presence of perivascular and intra-alveolar diapedesis hemorrhages in COVID-19 confirms the tendency of patients with a severe course of the disease to manifest hemostatic disorders, significant blood vascular endothelial injury, and obvious vascular impermeability.

[Diagnostic value of urinary biomarkers excretion in estimation of morphological lesions in patients with primary glomerulopathies].

AIM: To investigate the diagnostic value of biomarkers in assessing the severity of sclerotic and atrophic lesions in primary glomerulopathies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred patients were included in the study, according to the results of kidney biopsy in 9 (9%) cases minimal change disease was diagnosed, in 28 (28%) focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, in 26 (26%) membranous nephropathy and in 37 (37%) IgA nephropathy. The clinical course of nephropathy was evaluated, standard laboratory tests were performed, and urinary excretions of cystatin C, 1-microglobulin, 2-microglobulin and NGAL were measured. The degree of glomerulosclerosis was assessed quantitatively, tubulointerstitial sclerosis and tubular atrophy semiquantitatively. RESULTS: According to the results of linear correlations and ROC-analysis, urinary excretion of cystatin C and 1-microglobulin had diagnostic value for early degree of tubulointerstitial sclerosis (cut-off value 319.9 and 10.94 mg/day, respectively). Urinary excretion of 2-microglobulin reflected the initial degree of tubalar atrophy (cut-off value of 0.224 mcg/day), as well as tubulointerstitial sclerosis of various degrees of severity (cut-off value 0.224 and 0.240 mkg/day). NGAL urinary excretion was the only marker of early degree of glomerulosclerosis with its excretion of more than 1445.4 ng/day and tubular atrophy, with a severity of 50% or more (cut-off value 4897.8 ng/day). CONCLUSION: A comprehensive assessment of sclerotic and atrophic lesions in the renal parenchyma, can be performed using a panel of traditional (GFR, proteinuria) and specific biomarkers (1-, 2-microglobulins, cystatin C, NGAL) to implement a comprehensive, personalized approach, as well as to assess the prognosis of nephropathy. In addition, the evaluation of the panel of different biomarkers can be used in those clinical situations where kidney biopsy can not be performed.

[Abdominal pseudohernia: diagnosis and treatment]. / Abdominal'nye psevdogryzhi: diagnostika i lechenie.

OBJECTIVE: To present an effective treatment strategy for abdominal pseudohernia considering own clinical experience and literature data. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The authors report surgical treatment of 2 patients and therapeutic management of 1 patient with abdominal pseudohernia. Moreover, current state of this problem is analyzed according to literature data in Pubmed, Google and e-library databases. RESULTS. P: Seudohernia is followed by asymmetrical protrusion of abdominal wall, prolapsed site is not involved in breathing; patients cannot tense muscles in the affected area. T8-L2 skin sensitivity impairment or hyperesthesia may be observed. Denervation is confirmed by electroneuromyography. Ultrasound, CT and MRI reveal no defect in abdominal wall. However, its thinning within denervation area is visualized. Treatment is determined by the cause and reversibility of denervation. If mechanical damage (intersection) of T8-L2 nerves following trauma or any manipulation is absent, the main cause is herpes zoster neuropathy. Surgical treatment is not indicated. Antiherpetic therapy and physical therapy result functional restoration of abdominal wall muscles within 2-4 months. In case of mechanical cause of pseudohernia, it is advisable to wait at least a year after denervation for real assessment of situation. Partial or complete re-innervation is possible throughout this period. Surgical treatment is indicated if re-innervation is absent. An effective technique presented in this manuscript is reconstruction of the prolapsed area with several imbrication sutures in several planes up to symmetry with contralateral area with subsequent reinforcement with a mesh implant if necessary. There were no relapses in 2 our patients within 5 and 7 years, respectively. CONCLUSION: In our opinion, this report is the first manuscript devoted to systematic analysis of diagnosis and treatment of abdominal pseudohernia in available literature. Surgical treatment is not indicated for postherpetic pseudohernia. It is carried out for pseudohernia persisting for more than 1 year if its cause is trauma or any manipulation.

[Severe spine lesion following alkaptonuria. Case report]. / Tyazheloe porazhenie pozvonochnika pri alkaptonurii. Opisanie klinicheskogo sluchaya.

Alkaptonuria is a rare autosomal recessive disease. In these patients, melanin-like compounds as the final products of impaired metabolism of homogentisic acid are deposited mainly in connective tissue, including cartilage tissue of intervertebral discs. Similar to other degenerative spine diseases, lumbar segment is often damaged. The authors report a 67-year-old patient with alkaptonuria. Compression of cauda equina by damaged cartilage masses of intervertebral discs and spine ligaments with deposits of ochronotic pigment is described. Previously diagnosed alkaptonuria in this patient was confirmed by surgical findings (black pigmentation) and histological data.

[Cancer of terminal part of common bile duct in a patient with heterotaxy syndrome]. / Rak terminal'nogo otdela obshchego zhelchnogo protoka u patsienta s sindromom geterotaksii.

Case report is devoted to successful pancreatectomy for cancer of terminal part of common bile duct in a patient with heterotaxy syndrome. The main difficulties during dissection of pancreaticoduodenal complex arose due to anatomical disorientation and the lack of standard topographic and anatomical landmarks. Preoperative computed tomography with assessment of visceral vessel anatomy is essential in all patients with biliopancreaticoduodenal tumors. If heterotaxy syndrome is suspected, additional examination is required to detect other potential abnormalities and prepare for unusual situation.

[Urinary miRNA expression in cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) fed high salt rations].

High food intake of sodium chloride is associated with damage not only the cardiovascular system, but also the kidneys. The mechanisms of the potential negative effects of high-salt diets on the kidneys have not been established. The aim of the study was to trace the changes in relative expression of miRNA-21, 203 and 133 in urine of cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) fed high-salt diet with and without isolated soy proteins. Material and methods. The object of the study was 18 male cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) aged 6-8 years with a body weight of 5.1-9.7 kg. The animals were divided in 3 groups (6 individuals each). The animals of the first (control) group received a standard diet (2 g NaCl/kg feed). The animals of the second group were fed high-salt diet (8 g NaCl/kg feed), of the third - high-salt diet combined with SUPRO 760 isolated soy protein (200 g/kg feed; instead of milk and egg proteins, corn gluten). Access to water was free. The follow-up period in this study was 4 months. In animals blood pressure (BP) and relative level of microRNA (miRNA) expression in urine were measured. Results and discussion. Keeping monkeys on the studied diets for 4 months did not lead to significant changes in systolic or diastolic BP compared with the initial level. In the control group, there were no distinct changes in the expression of miRNA-21 in urine during observation. In the other two groups, there was a significant increase (approximately equally) of this parameter in comparison with the initial values. Both high-salt diets resulted in a significant increase in the relative level of expression of miRNA-133 and miRNA-203 in urine compared to basal values. However, the increase in these parameters in the group of animals fed a high-salt diet in combination with soy isolate was significantly less than in monkeys fed only a high-salt diet. Conclusion. Possible, potentially negative effects of high-salt diets on kidney may be mediated by epigenomic mechanisms and partially modulated by the inclusion of isolated soy proteins in the diet.

[The preconditions of occurrence and social demographic consequences of pandemics].

The article considers the historical features of development and theoretical approaches to defining the concept of "pandemic" in social sciences. The approaches of demographic science to the study of the consequences of pandemics are outlined. The prerequisites of occurrence of major pandemics at various historical stages of humankind development are highlighted. The particular attention is paid to pandemics in the XXI century. The demographic and social economic consequences of pandemics for the countries all over the world, including the countries on post-Soviet territory, are considered. The characteristics of the COVID-19 pandemic are highlighted from the standpoint of social demographic consequences, including the impact on fertility and mortality. The key directions of pandemics control in some countries of the world are designated.

[The social demographic aspects of vaccination of population of Russia in the context of COVID-19 pandemic].

The pandemic of the new corona-virus infection COVID-19 will be over only when population immunity will be developed. This condition can be achieved by both vaccination and surviving disease in natural way. The WHO recommends the first mode for achieving population immunity, since immune response to vaccine is similar to that one developed while surviving natural infection, but with minimal risks to health and life. The article presents the results of sociological survey organized with purpose of studying the attitude of Russians to vaccination against COVID-19 infection. The results of the survey demonstrated that at present, 22% of respondents are ready to be vaccinated i.e. they responded positively to the corresponding question. The following main factors determining population attitude to vaccination were identified. First, there is statistically significant correlation between vaccination readiness and education level: respondents with higher level of education are more likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Secondly, in general, the population is quite positive about the response of the National health care to the corona-virus pandemic. However, the percentage of population that is positive about vaccination can be higher if it would be possible to apply foreign-made vaccines in Russia. Thirdly, still there is large percentage of population believing that vaccination with medications that have not passed long-term clinical trials can result in health negative consequences. Fourthly, the majority of respondents experienced various manifestations of the pandemic on themselves: either they have been ill themselves, or their relatives and friends were ill or died and almost all of them somehow limited their common mobility.The survey results did not established statistically significant differences in distribution of responses among males and females. We assume that in order to develop positive attitude of population to vaccination, and specifically to Russian-made vaccines, more extensive information campaign is needed to be implemented. Also, significant increase of percentage of vaccinated population can be achieved if clearly defined requirements for availability of COVID-19 vaccination would be adopted on the international level. Actually, this is key condition for restoring international mobility and removing restrictions in national economies.

Peculiarities of the Expression of Inducible NO Synthase in Rat Dentate Gyrus in Depression Modeling.

Mild stress exposure contributes to the development of cognitive and emotional deficits, is considered as a model of depressive state, and is characterized by enhanced NO production. In albino mature (12-month-old) male rats, the depressive state was simulated by daily 30-min exposure to stressful stimuli (vibration, loud sound, and strobe light) over 7 days in a special chamber. On paraffin frontal sections of the brain stained with antibodies against inducible NO synthase (iNOS), the expression and distribution pattern of immunoreactive material were evaluated in various layers of the dentate gyrus under normal conditions and after depression modeling. The relative area of iNOS expression in the dentate gyrus of control rats was 8.2 (7.1-9.9)%, while in rats with experimental depression, this parameter was 16.7 (10.5-22.1)%, i.e. increased by 8.5% (p<0.05). In mature rats with modeled depressive state, the expression and relative area of iNOS expression in neuronal perikarya in the granular and subgranular layers of the dentate gyrus increased, which can underlie the mechanisms of damage and determine reduced neuroplasticity and suppressed neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus in rats during adulthood.

[Retrospective clinical and morphological analysis of patients with AL amyloidosis (the 2008 to 2015 nephrobiopsies)]. / Retrospektivnyi kliniko-morfologicheskii analiz bol'nykh s AL-amiloidozom pochek (nefrobiopsii za period s 2008 po 2015 g.).

OBJECTIVE: To study correlations between the clinical signs of dysfunction and pathological structural changes in the renal parenchyma in a group of Russian patients with AL amyloidosis in 2008-2015. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total group (At) including Group 1 with AL (kappa + lambda light chains) (n=46) was divided into subgroups: 2λ) 40 patients with AL-lambda (AL-λ); 3κ) 6 patients with AL-kappa (AL-κ). All the patients underwent standard laboratory and instrumental studies: determinations of the peak systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP, respectively, mm Hg), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (ml/min/1.73 m2) by the EPI equation, daily protein loss (g/day). Polyclonal antibodies against kappa and lambda light chains, AA component, and transthyretin (DAKO, Denmark) were used as immunomorphological markers. Light optical structural changes were semiquantitatively assessed, by ranking the following analyzed sign: interstitial focal sclerosis (FS), tubular atrophy (TA), interstitial inflammatory infiltration (II) semi-quantitatively (0 - no; 1 - < 25%; 2 - <50%, 3 - >50% of the volume of a histological compartment). Glomerulosclerosis (GS) was defined as the percentage of sclerotic glomeruli. The extent of amyloid depositions in the renal parenchyma structures was estimated according to the procedure proposed by Ying Yao et al., 2013. RESULTS: The AL group showed a female preponderance (65.21%). The patients' mean age was 62±11 years. There were no significant differences in daily proteinuria and the levels of serum creatinine, GFR, SBP, and DBP between the groups. The predominant clinical manifestation in the patients was nephrotic syndrome. A comparative analysis of the pathomorphological criteria for the spread of amyloid masses and the markers of fibroplastic processes revealed no statistically significant differences in the studied groups. Correlation analysis of the spread of AL deposits in the renal parenchyma in the patients of Group 1 and Subgroup 2λ, as well as laboratory data showed that there were significant (p<0.05) correlations with GFR, serum creatinine, unlike in Subgroup 3κ. At the same time, the analysis demonstrated that daily proteinuria had a significant positive correlation with VA, IA, GA, and TA values in Subgroup 3κ, unlike in Group 1 and Subgroup 2λ. Positive correlations were found between glomerulosclerosis and VA in Subgroup 2 λ and IA in Group 1. Sclerotic (FS and TA) changes in the tubular interstitium (TIN) were significantly positively correlated with all the indicators of AL (GA, VA, IA, TA) in the examinees in Group 1 and Subgroup 2λ, but not in Subgroup 3κ. Inflammatory TIN infiltration showed statistically significant (p<0.05) positive correlations with IA and VA in Group 1 and Subgroup 2λ and their absence in subgroup 3κ. CONCLUSION: : The retrospective analysis of nephrobiopsy specimens from of patients with AL amyloidosis revealed that kidney damage was mainly associated with the development of λ-associated AL amyloidosis. The clinical and laboratory parameters were correlated with the pathomorphological criteria for loading the renal parenchyma with amyloid masses. The findings suggest that there are clinical and morphological features of the subclasses of AL amyloidosis, which may be of value for predicting the course and progression of the disease.
