[Association of rs3025058 polymorphism with the development of stroke in patients with cardiovascular pathology].

Aim: To study the association of single-nucleotide polymorphismrs3025058(5а/6а) with the development of stroke in patients of the East Siberian population with cardiovascular pathology and risk factors for its development.

Materials And Methods: The study involved 260 patients with stroke (age [57.0; 51.

[The battery of tests for behavioral phenotyping of aging animals in the experiment].

The purpose of the study was to develop a battery of tests to study social and cognitive impairments for behavioral phenotyping of aging experimental animals with physiological neurodegeneration. Object of the study were outbred CD1 mice in the following groups: 1st group - 12-month old male mice (physiological aging); 2nd group - 2-month old male mice (control group). Social recognition test, elevated plus maze test (EPM), open field test, light-dark box test, and Fear conditioning protocol were used to estimate the neurological status of experimental animals.

TNFR1 -383 A˃C polymorphism and ankylosing spondylitis in a Russian Caucasian population: a preliminary study.

The aim of this study was to assess the association between the TNFR1 rs2234649 polymorphism and ankylosing spondylitis susceptibility in a Russian Caucasian population. A total of 41 ankylosing spondylitis patients and 43 healthy controls, matched according to age and sex, were enrolled, and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was used to genotype the rs2234649 variant. We evaluated genotype distributions in the patient and control groups with the chi-square test, and assessed the relationship between genotypes and ankylosing spondylitis using the odds ratio.
