Objective: Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus. It develops in approximately one-third of diabetic patients, years after the onset of metabolic abnormalities.
Study Design: The biopsy specimens were evaluated with the focus on light microscopy. The aim of our study was to reveal differences in the details and the frequency of occurrence of individual histomorphological changes in diabetic nephropathy and other glomerulonephritides.
Results: Diabetic nephropathy accounted for 14 out of 82 analyzed biopsies. Isolated thickening of the glomerular basement membrane was not present in any case, but along with some degree of mesangial expansion, hypercellularity or glomerulosclerosis was seen in 12 out of 14 findings of diabetic nephropathy. In other glomerular diseases, mesangial changes, but without glomerular basement membrane thickening, were the most frequent findings. In addition to glomerular lesions, some of the tubular, interstitial, and vascular changes were seen in 13 out of 14 patients with diabetic nephropathy. In other glomerulonephritides the combination of all these changes was a rare finding.
Conclusion: There are cases where immunofluorescence and electron microscopy cannot be performed or their results are not helpful. In such cases we must rely on light microscopic histomorphological changes.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

3. Introduction
Glomerular diseases constitute some of the major problems in nephrology.
Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomerulus, while glomerulopathy
is a term for disorder affecting this structure.
Glomeruli may be injured by variety of factors and in course of several systemic
diseases.
Most of the glomerular diseases are immunologically mediated

findings.
Each morphologic type of glomerular disease has a clinical correlation as
well as etiology and pathogenesis.

18. Systemic Lupus Erythrematosus (SLE)
A recent study on Taif University in 2015 showed that a high
percentage of familial lupus in Saudi patients may be a consequence of
high consanguinity rate in Saudi Arabia*
Another study in Western Saudi Arabia found that lupus nephritis (LN)
in 2014 that compare with other results from other series a high
prevalence of LN in Saudi population especially Class IV was the most
frequent type of nephritis. * *

19. Lupus Nephritis
Renal involvement is variable from mild asymptomatic proteinuria and
hematuria to ever renal impairment that may require dialysis
The clinical picture can change rapidly to a very aggressive disease
There might be a discrepancy between the clinical picture and
histological findings
3/18/2023 (C)Year4_UQUMED 19
20. Pathophysiology
Autoimmunity plays a major role in the pathogenesis of lupus
nephritis.
The histologic type of lupus nephritis that develops depends on
numerous factors, including the antigen specificity and other properties
of the autoantibodies and the type of inflammatory response that is
determined by other host factors.
