Abstract
In patients with an ascending aorta aneurysm, restructuring of all its layers and, first of all, the intima and media was revealed. The thickness of the intima was 79.3±63.1 μm in patients with aortic diameter <55 mm (group Ao<55) and 162.7±177.4 μm (p<0.05) in patients with aortic diameter ⩾55 mm (Ao⩾55 group), the thickness of the aortic media was 1184.0±198.2 and 1144.3±288.4 μm, respectively. In patients of the Ao<55 group, aortic dilatation was accompanied by compensatory thickening of the inner and middle layers of the aorta. In the Ao⩾55 group, thinning of the aortic media, fragmentation of elastic fibers, and its cystic degeneration were revealed. c-kit+ Stem cells were detected in the subendothelium of the thickened intima of the dilated ascending aorta. The appearance of c-kit+ cells correlated with intimal remodeling and its colonization with CD34+ and CD44+ myofibroblast-like cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To carry out a comparative analysis of the morphology of the interventricular septum (IVS) myocardium in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and without cardiovascular pathology. MATERIAL AND METHODS A study of myocardial biopsies of the IVS in children with HCM (n=18, 1.2-17 years) and children without cardiovascular pathology (n=11, 1-16 years) was carried out. The volume of interstitial tissue in the IVS myocardium was determined, a morphometric study of the size of cardiomyocytes (CMCs), the myofibrillogenesis level and the ploidy of CMCs was carried out, the ultrastructure of the CMCs was studied, and the localization of the gap junction protein, connexin43 (Cx43), was revealed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The proportion of interstitial tissue in the myocardium of children with HCM was 9-10% and did not differ from its proportion in the myocardium of children in the control group. The diameter of the CMCs of the IVS in children with HCM reached the limit of ontogenetic growth and exceeded the parameters of the control group (average 18.9±5.7 µm vs 9.3±4.4 µm). CMCs ploidy in children with HCM was 2 times higher than CMCs ploidy in control patients (5.3c vs 2.7c). In the myocardium of children with HCM, the assembly of myofibrils most actively occurred in small CMCs. At the ultrastructural level, signs of immaturity of the contractile apparatus and intercalated discs of the CMC in HCM were demonstrated. In the myocardium of children with HCM, Cx43-containing gap junctions were more often located on the lateral surfaces of the CMC than in the myocardium of the control group. CONCLUSION In children with HCM, a morphological picture of an increase in the size of the CMCs and their ploidy during accelerated ontogenetic development was demonstrated in combination with ultrastructural signs of immaturity of the contractile apparatus and intercalated discs and the lack of growth of interstitial tissue of the IVS myocardium compared with patients in the control group.

Abstract
Telocytes are interstitial cells with long, thin processes by which they contact each other and form a network in the interstitium. Myocardial remodeling of adult patients with different forms of atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs with an increase in fibrosis, age-related isolated atrial amyloidosis (IAA), cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and myolysis. This study aimed to determine the ultrastructural and immunohistochemical features of cardiac telocytes in patients with AF and AF + IAA. IAA associated with accumulation of atrial natriuretic factor was detected in 4.3-25% biopsies of left (LAA) and 21.7-41.7% of right (RAA) atrial appendage myocardium. Telocytes were identified at ultrastructural level more often in AF + IAA, than in AF group and correlated with AF duration and mitral valve regurgitation. Telocytes had ultrastructural signs of synthetic, proliferative, and phagocytic activity. Telocytes corresponded to CD117+, vimentin+, CD34+, CD44+, CD68+, CD16+, S100-, CD105- immunophenotype. No significant differences in telocytes morphology and immunophenotype were found in patients with various forms of AF. CD68-positive cells were detected more often in AF + IAA than AF group. We assume that in aged AF + IAA patients remodeling of atrial myocardium provoked transformation of telocytes into "transitional forms" combining the morphological and immunohistochemical features with signs of fibroblast-, histiocyte- and endotheliocyte-like cells.

Abstract
Telocytes, a new type of interstitial stem cells with long thin processes that form a three-dimensional network around cardiomyocytes, vessels, and nerve fibers were described in the myocardium of children with tetralogy of Fallot. Two types of morphologically different telocytes, spindle-shaped and rounded, were identified. Contacts of telocytes with stem cells and interstitial macrophages were found. Telocytes were more common in the immature myocardium, where the assembly of myofibrils in cardiomyocytes was not completed and small Ki-67+ cardiomyocyte progenitor cells were present. Telocytes expressed immunohistochemical markers CD117, vimentin, CD34, and CD44. Localization and ultrastructural characteristics of telocytes suggested their participation in stem cell differentiation, coordination of neoangiogenesis, and paracrine regulation of all components of the interstitium.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a congenital disease caused by mutations in a number of sarcomere proteins. According to the type of mutation, clinical observations record similar clinical manifestations, myocardial pathological changes, and the timing of manifestation of the disease in HCM patients. OBJECTIVE To study cardiomyocyte (CMC) ultrastructural changes in the interventricular septum (IVS) of patients with HCM and evaluate their specificity for this pathology. MATERIAL AND METHODS IVS myocardial samples taken from 44 HCM patients aged 18-59 years at IVS myoectomy underwent an electron microscopic study. The diameter of CMCs and their nuclei was measured in semithin sections. RESULTS A morphometric examination of the IVS myocardium in HCM patients revealed moderate hypertrophy of CMCs and their nuclei, the diameters of which averaged 23.7±4.4 and 5.2±0.9 μm, respectively. The IVS CMCs were characterized by the ultrastructural signs of hypertrophy: the larger size and number of structures ensuring contractile and synthetic functions; the myocytes contained higher amounts of myofibrils, intermyofibrillar mitochondria, granular endoplasmic reticulum cisterns, and free ribosomes. On the contrary, some CMCs had fewer myofibrils in the perinuclear region, which is an adaptive change under hemodynamic overload conditions. In addition, a number of myocytes displayed signs of dystrophic changes: the appearance of lipofuscin granules, myelin figures, phagosomes, lipid droplets, and vacuoles, which can fill all free sarcoplasmic zones. CONCLUSION Ultrastructural changes characteristic of hypertrophy were found in IVS CMCs in HCM patients. In addition, there was partial myofibrillar loss and dystrophic changes in a number of myocytes, which are stereotypic compensatory-adaptive changes under hemodynamic overload conditions. All the above-mentioned changes in the CMC ultrastructure are characteristic of myocardial hypertrophy, but not specific for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze cardiomyocyte (CMC) ultrastructural changes in the right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) of infants with tetralogy of Fallot (TF) in the first years of life and to compare the findings with clinical parameters in these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Intraoperative RVOT myocardial biopsy specimens obtained from 51 patients aged 3-33 months with TF during radical correction of defect were investigated. CMC diameter and length were measured using the semithin myocardial sections stained with periodic acid-Schiff. The ultrathin sections were examined in the electron microscope. RESULTS The diameter of CMCs in the RVOT of infants with TF varied significantly (7.3-17.0 µm) and averaged 10.8±2.2 µm; a large number of multinucleated CMCs were observed. There were ultrastructural signs of incomplete differentiation of CMCs: active myofibril assembly in the free sarcoplasmic region; gap junctions on the lateral surfaces of CMCs; and centrioli in their sarcoplasm. Myofibrillogenesis in babies under 6 months increased in response to hemodynamic overload and hypoxemia. In addition, organelles suggestive of the synthetic activity of CMCs, such as cisterns and vesicles of the Golgi complex and granular endoplasmic reticulum, were detected in the sarcoplasm of a number of CMCs. TF infants' myocardium also displayed focal disorders of CMC interposition; the change in the shape of myocytes was accompanied by the appearance of additional lateral insert discs. Some CMCs showed the abnormal localization of the nucleus beneath the sarcolemma, sarcoplasmic bulging areas, and dystrophic changes. CONCLUSION There were ultrastructural features characteristic for the myocardium that was at the state of active growth and differentiation (increases in the diameter and length of CMCs and in the number of nuclei; myofibrillogenesis; signs of synthetic and proliferative activity along with insignificant dystrophic changes) in the CMCs of myocardial RVOT in infants with TF in the first years of life.

Abstract
Background Nowadays autologous mesenchymal placental stromal cells (MSCs) may use to treat for various diseases both of the mother and the child. Stroma of the placenta villi is appropriated origin for cell culture isolation. Aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility for selection and use of placental tissue for mesenchymal stromal cells. Materials and methods: The present study was based on 45 placental samples of women aged 27−38 yy. who underwent surgical delivery at 36−40 weeks of gestation. 30 of these women have been enrolled in the basic group including children with congenital abnormalities (CA). The comparison group consisted of 15 patients with physiological pregnancy. We performed histological examination (with hematoxylin and eosin staining), immunohistochemical examination (with use monoclonal antibodies CD90 (1:25; Abcam, UK), СD105 (1:500; Abcam, UK), CD44 (1:25; Dako), СD73 (1:200, Abcam, UK), and electron microscopy (by microscope Philips/FEI Corporation, Eindhoven, Holland). Eclipse 80i microscope (Nikon Corporation, Japan) was used to examine the immunohistochemical reactions as a brown staining. The evaluation of the intensity of reaction was conducted by NIS-Elements Advanced Research 3.2 program (Czech Republic). Student’s t-test and analysis of variance were used to compare the mean values. Differences were considered statistically significant at p<0.05. Results Interstitial cells of the stroma of the villi with CA had fibroblastic differentiation as revealed degenerative changes of the cells. The histologic examination with hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed significant fibrosis of the stroma of the placenta villi in CA group (p<0,01). Immunohistochemical study of stem and intermediate chorionic villi revealed no significant differences in staining of CD44+, СD90+, СD73+, and CD105+ cells if compared to the control group (p>0.05). Although CD105 expression was significantly lower in the CA group (0.058±0.0049) than in the control group (0.088±0.0039) (p<0.05). However, electron microscopy detected the villi interstitial stromal cells with fibroblastic differentiation in CA group. Conclusions Thus, it is necessary to exclude placenta with obstetrical history, somatic, and congenital pathology of the mother and the child when selecting the placental cell culture. Moreover, choosing a sample the morphological structure of the placenta should be taken into consideration. However, congenital malformations of the fetus, pathology of the mother cultivate mesenchymal stromal cells of placentas is inappropriate and should be taken advantage of the donor cells.

Abstract
AIM to analyze the morphological features of the myocardium of the atrial appendages in patients with different forms of atrial fibrillation (AF) and to compare the findings with the clinical parameters of patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Light and electron microscopies were used to examine the myocardium of the atrial appendages in adult patients with paroxysmal (PAF), persistent (PrAF), or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LPAF) and in comparison group patients with sinus rhythm without history of AF. A morphometric method was employed to evaluate myocardial fibrosis and to measure the diameter of cardiomyocytes (CMCs); the degree of lipomatosis and amyloidosis was semiquantitatively determined; and the content of CMC myofibrils was estimated. Atrial natriuretic peptide content in the myocytes was measured by immunoconfocal microscopy. RESULTS In all groups, the patients with AF were found to have signs of atrial structural remodeling: fibrosis, lipomatosis, isolated atrial amyloidosis, CMC hypertrophy with the phenomena of a partial loss of myofibrils without significant differences between these parameters in different groups. In PAF patients, atrial remodeling was accompanied by hypertrophy of a number of CMCs with their higher myofibrilar mass; the increased CMC size in the left atrial appendage prevented left atrial enlargement; the degree of amyloidosis negatively correlated with the CMC myofibrillar loss that was recorded in the minor CMCs; the degree of CMC myolysis positively correlated with mitral valve insufficiency and left atrial enlargement. In contrast to the clinical and morphological changes that are typical of PAF, in LPAF the increase in CMC sizes was positively correlated with left atrial enlargement and mitral annular dilatation; while the myofibrillar loss phenomenon was noted in the most hypertrophied CMCs; the degree of amyloidosis was positively correlated with CMC myofibrillar loss. In the patients with PrAF, the size of CMCs did not correlate with their myofibril content. CONCLUSION The patients with PAF were ascertained to have opposite changes in the ratio of CMC hypertrophy to left atrial enlargement, amyloidosis, and CMC myofibrillar loss, hypertrophy of CMCs and their myofibril content in comparison with these indicators in LPAF.

Abstract
Interventricular septum myocardium was studied in 40 patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Immunohistochemical assay revealed c-kit-positive resident cardiac stem cells in 82.5% patients. The content of the connective tissue and myofibrillar disarray zones and the degree of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and myolysis were determined. In 30% cases, cardiomyocytes containing atrial natriuretic peptide were detected in the interventricular septum myocardium. The data were compared with clinical and functional parameters of patients. It was found that cardiac stem cells are present in patients, whose myocardium was characterized by increased density of the connective tissue, hypertrophy of mature cardiomyocytes, medium degree of myolysis in them, and accumulation of natriuretic peptide, a cardiac failure marker, in cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Light and electron microscopies were used to analyze cardiomyocyte structural changes in the dilated left ventricle in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and valvular heart diseases. The patients were found to have cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and ultrastructural rearrangement with a tissue-specific reduction. There was hypertrophic cardiomyocyte lengthening that continued after these cells stopped growing thicker, as well as occurred due to the loss of myofibrils, which increased during the cell rearrangement, and directly correlated with the lower ejection fraction and higher end-systolic volume of the left ventricle.

Cardiomyocytes (CMC) of 18 patients with both ischemic heart disease, aneurism of the front wall and reduced myocardial contractility of the left ventricle (LV) were hypertrophied and in state of chronic hibernation, which was characterized by weakening of tissue-specific signs. Widening of lack myofibrils' zones and in part gap junction of intercalated disk transfer on the side of cells was found The hypertrophy of CMC had positive correlation, but chronic hibernation - negative one with the volume of LV. The worse prognosis of clinical course was degenerative changes of hibernate CMC with accumulation of autophagosomes that correlated with increasing of LV sphericity index.

Abstract
Understanding the molecular basis and cell mechanisms, clinical course, and treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) has progressed substantially in the last decade. The majority of genetic mutations associated with HCMP occur in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins, which are expressed only in cardiomyocytes. The spectrum of morphological features of HCMP includes: hypertrophy of myocardium, myocardial disarray, interstitial fibrosis, mitral valve abnormalities, and microvascular remodeling, is indicative of the involvement of other cell lineages. The link between sarcomeric gene defects and these HCM phenotypes remains elusive. Based on novel insights provided by cardiac developmental biology we can create new effective methods of treatment of this complex disease.

Abstract
Inhibition of DNA topoisomerase II with vepesid induced structural and functional reorganization of chromatin in meiotically dividing spermatocytes I, which later led to the block of their differentiation and long-lasting disorders in spermatogenesis. Vepesid induced decondensation of spermatocyte I chromatin, block of desynapsis, and elongation of lateral elements of spermatocyte autosome synaptonemal complexes during late pachytene and diplotene of meiosis. This confirms the involvement of type II DNA topoisomerase in chromatin condensation and homologous chromosome desynapsis at the stage of diplotene and the role of this enzyme in structural organization of the synaptonemal complex. Vepesid induced the formation of dichotomy and breaks of the pericentromer regions of subelements of lateral elements of the autosomal synaptonemal complexes; the number of cells with associations of axial elements of sex chromosomes with autosomal synaptonemal complexes increased, univalents of autosomes and sex chromosomes appeared. Mesna, a modifier of toxic effects of antitumor drugs, had no toxic effect on spermatogenic cells. Mesna reduced the lethal effect of vepesid during combined treatment, but did not ensure long-term protection of spermatogenesis.

Abstract
Taxol produced a specific effect on mouse spermatocytes I and on stem spermatogonia, which leads to overall degeneration of spermatocytes I and long lasting disorders of spermatogenesis. Breaks of the axial and lateral elements of the synaptonemal complex, aneuploidies in spermatocytes in early, middle, and late pachytene, and accumulation of cells with associations of sex chromosomes and autosomes were observed, which attested to blockade of spermatogenesis in late pachytene and diplotene of meiosis prophase I. Mesna, a chemoprotective agent, reduced total toxicity and lethal effects of taxol, but did not prevent destruction of the testes.
