Notes ��� Fusarium chuoi resides in the Asian clade of the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (FFSC: O���Donnell et al. 1998, Yilmaz et al. 2021, Crous et al. 2021b). Based on nucleotide searches using the Fusarium Pairwise ID engine on the Fusarioid-ID database (www.fusarium.org, Crous et al. 2021) the closest hit using the ITS sequence was Fusarium siculi (strain CBS 142422; identities = 449/450 (99 %), no gaps). The closest hit using the LSU sequence was F. siculi (strain CBS 142422; identities = 804/805 (99 %), no gaps). Closest hit using the cmdA sequence was Fusarium fractiflexum (strain NRRL 28852; identities = 426/434 (98 %), no gaps). Closest hit using the rpb1 sequence was F. fujikuroi (strain NRRL 13566; identities = 687/702 (98 %), no gaps). Closest hit using the rpb2 sequence was Fusarium globosum (strain CBS 428.97; identities = 856/867 (98 %), no gaps). Closest hit using the tef1 sequence was F. fractiflexum (strain NRRL 28852; identities = 619/643 (96 %), 2 gaps (0.3 %)). The phylogenetic results, however, showed that F. chuoi is not directly related to any of the previously described species of FFSC (see Suppl. material FP1353), clustering as the second basal-most species of that clade after F. sacchari. Asian Fusarium spp. in the FFSC are characterised by mono-and polyphialides producing oval to ellipsoid, rarely pyriform to globose (i.e., F. annulatum, F. fujikuroi and F. globosum) microconidia organized in chains or false heads; 3���5-septate sporodochial conidia and lacking chlamydospores. The elaborate, profusely branched aerial conidiophores of F. chuoi are comparable to those of F. concentricum, F. lumajangense, F. mangiferae and F. sacchari, all the latter species producing oval, ellipsoidal to allantoid microconidia on false heads.Aerial conidiophores of F. chuoi, however, mostly produce macroconidia, while microconidia grouped on false heads are restricted to short, mostly unbranched and prostrate conidiophores formed on the surface on the culture media. Several Asian species of the FFSC have been reported from Musa spp. i.e., F. annulatum, F. concentricum, F. fujikuroi, F. lumajangense and F. sacchari (Leslie & Summerell 2006, Maryani et al. 2019, Farr & Rossman 2021). The two strains representing F. chuoi were isolated as endophytes from asymptomatic seeds of wild banana (Musa itinerans), which had been collected predispersal and stored in the Millennium Seed Bank for ~2.5 years at -20 �� C prior to isolation.

At the Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant, the determination of alkali metals and calcium in the range of 0.1–100 mg/l is carried out using atomic emission spectra excited in an air-acetylene flame and recorded in the range of 390–860 nm. When these elements are analyzed simultaneously in a wide range of concentrations, the accumulation time of the analytical signal (exposure) is determined by the minimum concentration of calcium. However, at this exposure, the highly sensitive lines of sodium and potassium do not provide the analysis in the entire concentration range, since at large values, the analytical signal goes into saturation. Other analytical lines of potassium and sodium in the above-mentioned operating spectral range have three to four orders of magnitude lower sensitivity. As a result, there may be a gap in the range of detectable concentrations. This paper provides a way to eliminate this gap. To evaluate the degree of correction of the recorded signal, the relative intensities of the spectral lines of potassium and sodium excited in an air-acetylene flame are calculated. Then, based on the calculation results, an optimal echelette diffraction grating with a blaze angle of 300 nm is selected, and a combination of filters is installed to equalize the recorded radiation. As a result, for sodium and potassium, for which the determination is carried out along two analytical lines, the calibration dependences have an overlap that includes at least two concentration values.Keywords: Alkali metals, calcium, flame photometry, diffraction grating, light filters, dynamic range of calibration curves DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15826/analitika.2021.25.4.003 I.A.

Atpresent, the issue of thesocio-economicsituation of Russia, including its economic security, is on the agenda. Especially relevant this issue becomes during the period of the sanctions policy. In thearticle, the authors give a detailed analysis of the current state of the Russian economy. The main macroeconomic indicators are analyzed, a number of problems of the Russian economy are raised: structural problems, low efficiency of the financial sector, lowlabourproductivity, lack of motivation for business.

Aim. To characterize clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic syndromes of copper overloading in patients with hepatic lesion in combination with hemopoietic disorder. Material and methods. Treatment results and diagnostic findings are presented for patients with clinical picture of liver cirrhosis, cytopenia and copper overloading. The examination included standard clinical and specific tests, morphological investigation of the bone marrow, copper metabolism in dynamics. Results. A case of a patient is reported in whom Wilson's disease presented in debut with a picture of decompensated liver cirrhosis and immune thrombocytopania complicated by recurrent hemorrhagic syndrome. D-penicillomine treatment initiated ex juvantibus allowed verification of the diagnosis of Wilson's disease and achievement of marked clinical response. In another case laboratory signs of copper overloading were revealed in a patient with liver cirrhosis of viral etiology (HBsAg+) and deep cytopenia associated with unejfective hemopoiesis. Chelator therapy with D-penicillamine regressed cytopenic syndrome and improved functional capacity of the liver. Conclusion. Primary or secondary nature of copper overloading in patients with hepatic cirrhosis and critical cytopenia, pathogenesis of cytopenic syndrome, practical significance of copper hemochromatoses diagnosis are discussed.

AIM: To characterize the genotype and genotype-phenotype correlations in patients with Gaucher disease (GD) in the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. One hundred adult patients with GD type 1 were examined. Their clinical study encompassed the evaluation of the severity of osteoarticular lesions from instrumental findings. An allele-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction assay was used to screen four most common acid Β-glucoside gene (GBA) mutations (N370S, 84GG, L444P, IVS2+1)/RESULTS: The N370S mutation and the N370S/? genotype where the second allele was presented with the mutation outside the 4 most common GBA gene mutations were found in the Russian patients with GD. Analysis of the clinical manifestations of the disease revealed no association between the genotype under examination and the severity of osteoarticular lesions and supported the unfavorable role of splenectomy (SE) in the development of severe bony disease/CONCLUSION: SE should be carried out in patients with unclear cytopenia and splenomegaly after the diagnosis of GD is excluded. The GD patients undergoing SE should receive emergency enzyme replacement therapy to prevent severe osteoarticular lesions and an irreversible orthopedic defect.
