Aim: Study of effectiveness of dimephosphone with regard of the kind and degree of membrane disorders in various clinicomorphological forms of active glomerulonephritis (GN).
Materials And Methods: 170 patients with nephrotic, nephritic GN have undergone a complete nephrological examination. Informative value of immunological, morphological and membrane (phospholipids, lipid peroxidation) indicators of GN and lupus nephritis (LN) activity was analysed.
Results: Membrane destabilisation and GN activity were correlated. Membrane destabilization was also associated with dislipid- and disproteinemia, disturbances of renal function. This can be used for diagnosis of GN activity and its rapid progression. Dimephosphone monotherapy was found effective in correction of immunomembrane disturbances in minimally active GN and hormone-resistant forms irrespectively of the activity forms. Combination of dimephosphone with prednisolone and/or cytostatics proved more effective than dimephsphone monotherapy or conventional treatment with glucocorticoids and/or cytostatics without dimephosphone in respect of frequency of remission and early remission achievement in various types of activity and clinicomorphological forms of GN.
Conclusion: Combination of dimephosphone with glucocorticoids and/or cytostatics is more effective than monotherapy or combined treatment with glucocorticoids and cytostatics in the treatment of GN of different clinicomorphological forms, hormone-resistant among them, and types of activity.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia worldwide, is a mixed proteinopathy (β-amyloid, tau and other proteins). Classically defined as a clinicopathological entity, AD is a heterogeneous, multifactorial disorder with various pathobiological subtypes showing different forms of cognitive presentation, currently referred to as the Alzheimer spectrum or continuum. Its morphological hallmarks are extracellular β-amyloid (amyloid plaques) and intraneuronal tau aggregates forming neurofibrillary tangles and neurites, vascular amyloid deposits (cerebral amyloid angiopathy), synapse and neuronal loss as well as neuroinflammation and reactive astrogliosis, leading to cerebral atrophy and progressive mental/cognitive impairment (dementia).

Introduction: Transcriptional analyses have identified several distinct molecular subtypes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that have prognostic and potential therapeutic significance. However, to date, an indepth, clinicomorphological correlation of these molecular subtypes has not been performed. We sought to identify specific morphological patterns to compare with known molecular subtypes, interrogate their biological significance, and furthermore reappraise the current grading system in PDAC.

Aim: To define causes of difficult situations in various forms of acute cholecystitis depending on terms of disease and clinico-morphological changes in gall bladder area and to justify differentiated application of laparoscopic surgery for acute cholecystitis.
Material And Methods: It was reviewed 1132 medical records of patients with acute cholecystitis. It is found that morphological changes in gall bladder and surrounding tissues depend on duration of follow-up of patients with acute cholecystitis and type of inflammation.
The aim of the study was to establish the clinical and morphological characteristics of female urethral polyps including cases with concomitant sexually transmitted infections. A total of 150 women were enrolled in the study. The evaluation of microcirculatory changes, morphological parameters and immunogram indices of urethral polyps were carried out.
