A modern solution would be the creation of a multimodal digital atlas, which would combine images of the developing brain at the macro-morphological, tissue, and cellular levels.
 AIM: The aim of this study was to create a prototype of an informational reference system on human brain development, incorporating a digital multimodal atlas with the ability to view specific brain regions.
 METHODS: The creation of a prototype informational reference system on human brain prenatal morphogenesis involved the following stages: researching the subject area, developing an informational model, defining automation tasks and functionality of the information system, selecting hardware and software tools, testing, and analyzing results.
 RESULTS: Based on the analysis, a prototype of the informational reference system \"Human Brain Development Atlas\" has been developed, consisting of three main blocks for each ontogenetic stage:
 1) \"Description of Brain Development Stage\": This section includes a macroscopic description of brain structure, an overview of key morphogenetic events, and galleries with hematoxylin and eosin, Nissl, and Mallory stained sections.
 2) \"Reference Atlases\": This module contains annotated maps of brain sections at different stages of prenatal ontogenesis.
 3) \"Immunohistochemical Atlases\": This module provides data on the developmental translational profile of brain cells.
 Currently, some of the materials are already available on the project website: https://brainmorphology.science/ru/
 CONCLUSION: Modern information technologies can be used for data collection and processing on human brain prenatal morphogenesis. The creation of an informational reference system on human brain prenatal morphogenesis can contribute to the development of new methods for early diagnosis and treatment of various nervous system disorders.","PeriodicalId":74226,"journal":{"name":"Morfologiia (Saint Petersburg, Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136068526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, data on gap junctions in the human pineal gland are scarce, and connexin 43 has not been previously studied in this organ.
 AIM: The study was aimed to develop a method for the simultaneous detection of the gap junction marker connexin 43 (Cx43) and the astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in the human pineal gland.
 METHODS: Fixed and paraffin-embedded samples of the human pineal gland (n = 4) were used in the study. For the simultaneous detection of Cx43 and GFAP in the human pineal gland, immunohistochemistry was used followed by analysis using a LSM800 confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss, Germany).
 RESULTS: Our immunohistochemical study for the first time showed the presence of the gap junction protein connexin 43 in the human pineal gland. The confocal microscopy with double immunolabeling of Cx43 and GFAP proteins visualized the individual clusters of connexin 43-containing structures that were undistinguishable under transmitted light microscopy, and also to show the localization of the connexin 43 on the membrane of astrocyte-like cells.
 CONCLUSION: The developed method makes it possible to determine Cx43-positive structures in human pineal tissue, which are localized mostly in the area of processes of astrocyte-like cells.","PeriodicalId":74226,"journal":{"name":"Morfologiia (Saint Petersburg, Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134909033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Decidual stromal cells play an important role throughout pregnancy by creating a tolerant microenvironment, the decidua, to suppress the maternal immune response and prevent rejection of the allogeneic fetus. Along with this, decidualization plays an important role not only in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy, prevention of early losses, modulation of the immune response, but also in the control of the onset of labor, regulation of trophoblast invasion, and embryo selection. They have immunomodulatory properties in relation to cells of innate and adaptive immunity. Pregnancy maintenance requires selective elimination of pro-inflammatory senescent decidual cells by activated uterine NK cells.
 Data on various populations of decidualizing endometrial stromal cells are presented and three subtypes of them with different functional characteristics are distinguished: predecidual, decidual, transitional and senescent subpopulations.
 An increase in the number of the latter with a pro-inflammatory phenotype leads to pregnancy losses. This review analyzes the literature data on decidualization and its role in the genesis of miscarriage and highlights the important contribution of decidual stromal cells to the microenvironment and their direct or indirect influence on the recruitment, distribution and function of immune cells, on the remodeling of the extracellular matrix and the formation of the placenta.

Similarity with the benign lesion makes difficult to diagnose this pattern of carcinoma, especially in tiny specimens. Moreover, it raises a question whether the tumor originates from uterine corpus or cervix. Microglandular-like adenocarcinoma of endometrium may represent an individual type of carcinoma or combine with endometrioid or mucinous carcinoma. Immunohistochemical evaluation is recommended for precise diagnosis: microglandular-like adenocarcinoma expresses both markers typical for cervical carcinomas p16, СК17, CEA and markers typical for endometrial carcinomas estrogen, vimentin, CD10. Presence of foamy macrophages in stroma of the tumor and intraglandular foci of squamous differentiation help in differential diagnosis with microglandular hyperplasia of endocervix. Immunohistochemical evaluation also facilitates differential diagnosis: negative expression of PAX2 and high mitotic index (Ki67 10%) favors microglandular-like adenocarcinoma.","PeriodicalId":74226,"journal":{"name":"Morfologiia (Saint Petersburg, Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

 The experiment was carried out on white outbred rats weighing 180-250. A total of 50 animals were involved in the experiment. All animals were divided into 5 groups: control and 4 experimental. All animals of the experimental groups were subjected to inhalation effects of gasoline and formaldehyde vapors, in the 1st (control) group, only poisoning with ecotoxicants was used, in the 2nd group, against the background of poisoning with ecotoxicants, peptinsorbent was used, in the 3rd group - a membrane protector - magnolia vine, in the 4th group beets, in the 5th experimental group - peptinsorbent, membrane protector and beets.
 The structure of the liver of rat pups born from female rats subjected to subchronic poisoning with gasoline and formaldehyde throughout pregnancy has pronounced pathomorphological signs characteristic of hepatosis, turning into toxic hepatitis. The use of lemongrass, peptinsorbent and beetroot separately, along with intoxication of pregnant rats, somewhat reduced the degree of pathomorphological changes in the liver of born rats, but not drastically. Against the background of using a combined mixture (peptinsorbent + lemongrass \"membrane protector\" + beetroot) in subsequently born rat pups, the structure of the liver is relatively better than in the control group, with the exception of certain areas of the liver, in which hemostasis and moderately pronounced dystrophic changes in hepatocytes are detected. Based on the results of the experimental study, it can be concluded that the combined mixture (peptinsorbent + lemongrass \"membranoprotector\" + beetroot) is effective as a hepatoprotective agent for liver damage by ecotoxicants.","PeriodicalId":74226,"journal":{"name":"Morfologiia (Saint Petersburg, Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structure and localization of BL, their cellular sources of origin in the gastrointestinal tract in normal and pathological conditions remain poorly studied.AIM: Study of morphological features and distribution of BL in human colon tissues and their changes in pathology.METHODS: Fragments of the large intestine, obtained as a result of surgery for chronic slow-transit constipation, were studied. The marker of BL, collagenIV, as well as neuronal and glial IHC-markers (PGP9.5 protein, GFAP, S100) were used in the work.RESULTS: It has been shown that the greatest immunoreactivity within the intestinal wall is observed in the myenteric membrane, weak - in the vessels of the submucosa, locally expressed - in the subepithelial region of the mucous membrane. BLs were found around the smooth muscle cells of the longitudinal and concentric layers of the muscular membrane, mucous membrane, veins and arteries, as well as in the endothelium. It has been shown that the Auerbach's plexus is delimited from closely adjacent muscle layers of a continuous BM, similar to the basal plate (glia limitans) of the CNS. It is clearly defined by its appearance - it has the form of a continuous hollow tubular structure. The sources of the formation of the BL around the ganglia of Auerbach and Meissner's plexuses are various glial elements. In the first plexus, astrocyte-like and non-myelinated Schwann cells, and in the second plexus, glia of the ANS (satellite cells and neurolemmocytes of postganglionic nerve fibers).CONCLUSION: For the first time, the transition of BL from the Auerbach's plexus to numerous basal plates of neurolemmocytes of the Remakov fibers of the main terminal nerve plexus, which are involved in the innervation of the smooth muscle cells of the muscular membrane, is shown. Signs of dystrophic changes in the BL structure associated with changes in chronic slow transit constipation (edema, inflammatory reactions, manifestations of agangliosis, gliosis, focal denervation of muscle cells, degeneration of nerve endings) are shown in the work.","PeriodicalId":74226,"journal":{"name":"Morfologiia (Saint Petersburg, Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135352444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

 Materials and Methods. The study material included 73 left cerebral hemispheres of male children from birth to 12 years of age who died as a result of an accident. Computerized morphometry was used to measure cortical thickness, outer pyramidal plate thickness, and pyramidal neuron profile field area on Nissl-stained paraffin sections of the cortex taken in the temporoparietal-occipital subarea (subareas 37ac, 37a, 37d) and area 19 of the occipital region. Quantitative data were analyzed at annual intervals.
 Results. The thickness of the posterior associative cortex in children increased on the lateral surface of the temporal and occipital lobes at 1, 4, and 7 years, on the inferior medial surface of the temporal lobe at 1 and 6 years, and on its medial surface at 1 and 7 years. The significant increase in layer III thickness in subareas 37ac, 37a and 37d occurred synchronously with the increase in cortical cross-sectional area, and in area 19 it continued from 4 to 7 years after the stabilization of the group-average indicators of cortical thickness in this field. All areas examined were characterized by a two-step growth of cortical thickness, which exceeded the growth rate of layer III thickness in relation to total cortical cross-section. The size of pyramidal neurons in subareas 37ac and 37d increased in two stages, while those in subarea 37a and area 19 increased in three stages of different duration.
 Conclusions. Microstructural changes in the posterior associative cortex in children are heterochronic, heterodynamic, and specialized not only in topographically and functionally distinct cortical areas, but also in separate cytoarchitectonic fields, subfields, and at the level of cytoarchitectonic layers and intracortical microstructural components. The most significant morphofunctional transformations are observed during the first year of life, as well as at 3-4, 6-7, and 10 years of age.","PeriodicalId":74226,"journal":{"name":"Morfologiia (Saint Petersburg, Russia)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
