Abstract
Candidates to being inhibitors of the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 were selected from the database of Voronezh State University using molecular modeling. The database contained approximately 19,000 compounds represented by more than 41,000 ligand conformers. These ligands were docked into Mpro using the SOL docking program. For one thousand ligands with best values of the SOL score, the protein–ligand binding enthalpy was calculated by the PM7 quantum-chemical method with the COSMO solvent model. Using the SOL score and the calculated protein–ligand binding enthalpies, eighteen compounds were selected for the experiments. Several of these inhibitors suppressed the replication of the coronavirus in cell culture, and we used the best three among them in the search for chemical analogs. Selection among analogs using the same procedure followed by experiments led to identification of seven inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 replication in cell culture with EC50 values at the micromolar level. The identified inhibitors belong to three chemical classes. The three inhibitors, 4,4-dimethyldithioquinoline derivatives, inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in Vero E6 cell culture just as effectively as the best published non-covalent inhibitors, and show low cytotoxicity. These results open up a possibility to develop antiviral drugs against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

Abstract
In the modern world, complications caused by disorders in the blood coagulation system are found in almost all areas of medicine. Thus, the development of new, more advanced drugs that can prevent pathological conditions without disrupting normal hemostasis is an urgent task. The blood coagulation factor XIIa is one of the most promising therapeutic targets for the development of anticoagulants based on its inhibitors. The initial stage of drug development is directly related to computational methods of searching for a lead compound. In this study, docking followed by quantum chemical calculations was used to search for noncovalent low-molecular-weight factor XIIa inhibitors in a focused library of druglike compounds. As a result of the study, four low-molecular-weight compounds were experimentally confirmed as factor XIIa inhibitors. Selectivity testing revealed that two of the identified factor XIIa inhibitors were selective over the coagulation factors Xa and XIa.

Abstract
We present preliminary results of the trnL-trnF cpDNA region analysis for some representatives of the g. Betula, out of which B. procurva can be considered the most interesting. The disjunctive range of this species is confined to the mountain system in southeast Central Asia (Pamir-Alai). The occurrence of the birch is isolated from the main range in the mountainous part of the Urals, in the boreal forests zone and in the Trans-Ural forest-steppe. Due to high interspecific hybridization and population variability of the g. Betula, doubts were raised about the correct identification of the representatives of B. procurva. The studied genetic variability and population structure of B. procurva, B. nana, B. pubescens, B. turkestanica, B. tianshanica and B. pendula species indicate active introgression and hybridization processes. Polymorphism in all groups is significantly reduced, increasing slightly when comparing the most distant groups. The matching of the B. procurva cpDNA haplotypes (GBS) with B. pendula, B. nana, and B. pubescens shows that this trnL-trnF cpDNA site cannot be used for molecular identification of birch species by barcoding as a single marker, but this marker use is possible for determination of certain B. procurva population. Based on the studied cpDNA region (trnL-F) we found a clear geographic subdivision in B. procurva populations of the Trans-Urals and Central Asia,.

Abstract
In this paper, we consider the influence of a divergence of polarization of a quantum signal transmitted through an optical fiber channel on the quantum bit error rate of the subcarrier wave quantum key distribution protocol. Firstly, we investigate the dependence of the optical power of the signal on the modulation indices' difference after the second phase modulation of the signal. Then we consider the Liouville equation with regard to relaxation in order to develop expressions of the dynamics of the Stokes parameters. As a result, we propose a model that describes quantum bit error rate for the subcarrier wave quantum key distribution depending on the characteristics of the optical fiber. Finally, we propose several methods for minimizing quantum bit error rate.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the temporal sequence of pathological changes in the cellular structures of retina and choroidea in the early stages of diabetes in laboratory animals.
METHODS Experimental type 1 diabetes was modeled by three intraperitoneal injections of an alloxan solution into 30 male nonlinear rats at 16 wk of age. The 30th and 60th days from the final alloxan injection were chosen as the endpoints. Light and electron microscopy and morphometric and immunohistochemical studies were performed on histological slices of eyeballs from experimental animals.
RESULTS Diabetic disturbances progressed to 60 d of the experiment. Thus, in the retina, a partial destruction of photoreceptors accompanied by interstitial edema was observed. The morphometric analysis revealed a reduction in the thickness of the retina. A reduction in the number of blood vessels of the choroid with disturbances of the endothelial cells and the vascular walls and a persistent reduction in the number of melanocytes were observed. The number of proliferating Ki-67 positive cells decreased, and the number of macrophages increased with diabetes development.
CONCLUSION The starting point in the development of destructive changes involves early reduction in the number of melanocytes of the choroidea and alterations in the retinal pigment epithelium.

Abstract
Based on hypotheses concerning the role of stress in acute pancreatitis development, the experimental approach for the decrease stress damage via the use the compound with proven antistress/neuroleptic action was conducted. The study was aimed to discover 2-morpholino-5-phenyl-6H-1,3,4-thiadiazine hydrobromide (compound L-17) therapeutic action in experimental acute pancreatitis. The experimental model used was the ligation model. The trial was carried out on 50 male Wistar rats with average body weight 180-240 g. Histological picture of the pancreas was studied and biochemical and enzyme-immunoassays were carried out on the first and seventh days. The significant reduction in mortality on the background of L-17 compound administration was observed. While levels of all cytokines increased in induced experimental acute pancreatitis groups, the cytokine level rise was decreased when compound L-17 was administered. On the cellular level, the study revealed L-17's ability to prevent granulocytosis and decrease granulocytes infiltration to inflammatory foci. The decrease in inflammatory reaction magnitude and prevention of abscess formation in experimental acute pancreatitis accompanied by sistemic inflamamtion was due to L-17's ability to reduce neutrophilia and neutrophil entry into the injury zone.

Abstract
Background Incorrect administration of an anesthetic during local anesthesia is one of the most important causes of pain symptoms in patients scheduled for dental procedures. The current study assessed the severity of damage to periodontal tissue following different rates of anesthetic administration. Methods The research was conducted on 50 outbred male rats with a body mass of 180–240 g. The anesthetic used was 1% articaine. Results The results showed that administration of the anesthetic at a rapid pace caused structural damage to the periodontal tissue. Further, signs of impaired microcirculation were noted at all rates of administration. Biochemical studies demonstrated changes in the level of glucose and enzymes with the rapid introduction of the anesthetic, indicating severe systemic stress response of the body. Conclusions Injection of local anesthetic at any rate of introduction induces vascular congestion in the microcirculatory bloodstream and exudative reactions. Rapid introduction of an anesthetic causes progression of structural changes in the gingival tissue.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of the L-17 compound of the group of substituted 5R1, 6H2-1,3,4-thiadiazine-2-amines on the inflammatory cellular infiltration and myocardial remodelling which occurs after acute myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. The study is based upon recent clinical and experimental work which demonstrated the role of local and systemic inflammatory reactions in postinfarction remodelling. Acute MI in rats was induced by left coronary artery coagulation. Animals were sacrificed on day one, five and seven after MI induction. The myocardiumal samples were taken from all parts of the heart and examined by histology. This included areas of infarction, infraction and areas that were peri-infarctiom and left ventricular areas distant from the damaged tissues. Serum activity of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), isoenzymes 1 and 2 and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH1-2) were investigated on the same three days, before and in the process of MI development was investigated (at days 1, 5 and 7). The L-17 compound to not only decreased the area of initial infarction but also changed the pattern of inflammatory reaction in the affected myocardium fundamentally. Laboratory studies of effects of L-17 compound on the development and course of experimental MI showed that administration decreased blood AST and CPK levels significantly and provided useful the data about the correlation between the activity of these enzymes and the dimensions of the significantly necrotic area. In this model of experimental MI the use of the L-17 compound induced led to the replacement of the exudative destructive inflammation that is seen under standard conditions with a more cellular "productive" pattern of inflammation, with associated reduction in initial necrosis area and the, decrease in myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion injury may account for the accelerated repair process.

Abstract
The solution structure of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (DvH) ferrocytochrome c553 has been determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and combined simulated annealing/high temperature restrained molecular dynamics calculations. This three-stage protocol consists of an initial determination of overall fold from randomised co-ordinates, followed by a 20 picosecond exploratory stage, during which the non-bonded terms are simplified to facilitate as broad a sampling of conformational space as possible, and a 26 picosecond refinement stage, using the full AMBER force field. This latter stage systematically improved the energetic and convergence characteristics of the ensemble, while still satisfying the experimental restraints. Forty structures have been obtained from a total of 875 distance constraints for this protein of 79 amino acid residues. The root-mean-square deviation over all residues with respect to the mean is 0.70(+/- 0.12)A for the backbone (N, C alpha and C') atoms. Two conformations of the turn motif at the solvent/heme cleft interface have been identified, both fulfilling the experimental data and having equally viable energetic characteristics. The stability of the ensemble and the dynamic characteristics have been further investigated by subjecting ten of the structures to constraint-free molecular dynamics calculations (130 picoseconds) in vacuo. The structures were found to be stable to within 1.5 A of the initial backbone conformation. Comparison with the dynamic behaviour of the restrained molecular dynamics calculations has been used to identify regions of inherent flexibility in the molecule.

Abstract
The reliability and completeness of 1H NMR resonance assignment can be improved by the use of 13C-1H HSQC correlation spectra on unlabelled protein samples using pulsed field gradients. This technique is illustrated on a 5.2 mM sample of the 79 residue Desulfovibrio vulgaris ferrocytochrome c553. Protons attached to the same carbon can be unambiguously paired in a HSQC spectrum. Contrary to 1H, most amino acids exhibit characteristic 13C chemical shift ranges, which can be used for 13C assignment. This technique is especially useful for long side chain residues, such as Gln, Glu, Lys, Arg.
