5062Associated factors with domains of comprehensive geriatric assessment among older post-stroke patients
This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 137 post-stroke patients aged ≥ 60 years old treated at the National Geriatric Hospital to explore some factors related to domains of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). The components of CGA assessed were medical status (nutrition; urinary incontinence, frailty, visual and hearing ability), functional status (Barthel index, instrumental activity daily living, risk of fall) and neuropsychological status (cognition and depression).
5063Association of TEX15 rs142485241 with male infertility in 429 Vietnamese individuals
Male infertility is a reproductive disease caused by various factors, including environmental factors and genetic defects. Thousands of genes have been identified to cause and associate with male infertility, such as TEX15. Our study aimed to identify the association between the polymorphism TEX15 rs142485241 and male infertility. Total DNAs were extracted from the whole blood of 429 unrelated Vietnamese individuals, including 202 healthy controls and 227 patients with male infertility. The genotypes and alleles of the polymorphism were determined by the PCR-RFLP method. The data were analyzed by statistical methods to assess the association of TEX15 rs142485241 with male infertility. The results showed that the distribution of genotypes of the polymorphism followed the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p-value > 0.05). However, no association was established between the polymorphism TEX15 rs142485241 and male infertility in the three models (additive, dominant, and recessive) (p-value > 0.05). This study would contribute to the knowledge about the association of TEX15 with male infertility in the Vietnamese population.
5064Association study of NAT2 rs1799931 polymorphism with male infertility
Infertility is a complex disease that is characterized by the failure to achieve pregnancy after 24 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. Various factors result in male sterility, including genetic and non-genetic factors. Recently, scientists have drawn attention to the role of metabolic genes in contributing to the risk of male infertility by inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, such studies about N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), an enzyme that participates in phase II metabolism, remain limited. Thus, this study investigated whether the NAT2 rs1799931 variant was associated with idiopathic male sterility in Vietnam. A total of 306 DNA samples (148 cases and 158 controls) were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) methods. About 20% of randomly selected samples were confirmed using an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR).
5065Aston Martin driver : 75 years of DB DB1 meets DB11
Issue seven of AMD celebrates two great institutions: the DB range and Aston’s close ties with James Bond. Marking the car’s 75th anniversary, We look at a rare DB1, comparing it with the current DB11. We then explore the history of the DB4 for its own 65th anniversary and explain what to look for when buying a DB7 3.2. Since 25 years since the concept on which it was based, the Vantage Project, make its debut, we drive a Vanquish similar to that used in Die Another Day across the formidable Cat & Fiddle road in the Peak District, explaining its role in the film.

5067Astrocytes and epilepsy
Astrocytes and Epilepsy includes background explanatory text on astrocyte morphology and physiology, epilepsy models and syndromes, and evidence from both human tissue studies and animal models linking functional changes in astrocytes to epilepsy. Beautifully labelled diagrams are presented and relevant figures from the literature are reproduced to elucidate key findings and concepts in this rapidly emerging field. Astrocytes and Epilepsy is written for neuroscientists, epilepsy researchers, astrocyte investigators as well as neurologists and other specialists caring for patients with epilepsy.
