IL-16抗人免疫缺陷病毒的分子机制

IL 16主要来自CD8+ T淋巴细胞 ,它的受体是CD4分子。近来许多实验证实IL 16在体外有抑制人免疫缺陷病毒增殖的生物活性。其作用机制一为通过对抗NF κB和Tat所致的活化转录作用 ,从而影响人免疫缺陷病毒启动子的活性而抑制免疫缺陷病毒的转录。另一机制为下调CD95的表达 ,抑制T淋巴细胞活化后诱导的T淋巴细胞凋亡 ,从而增加T淋巴细胞的数目 ,为免疫缺陷病毒感染者的综合治疗提供了新的途径。     

Enteric virus infections and diarrhea in healthy and human immunodeficiency virus-infected children

Forty-three stool samples from 27 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive children and 38 samples from 38 HIV-negative children, collected during a 15-month period, were examined for enteric viruses. Diagnostic assays included enzyme immunoassays for rotavirus, adenovirus, and Norwalk virus; polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for picobirnavirus and atypical rotavirus; and PCR for astrovirus and enterovirus. Specimens from HIV-positive children were more likely than those of HIV-negative children to have enterovirus (56 versus 21%; P < 0.0002) and astrovirus (12 versus 0%; P < 0.02), but not rotavirus (5 versus 8%; P > 0.5). No adenoviruses, picobirnaviruses, or Norwalk viruses were found. The rates of virus-associated diarrhea were similar among HIV-positive and HIV-negative children. Enteroviruses were excreted for up to 6 months in HIV-positive children; however, no evidence for prolonged excretion of poliovirus vaccine was observed. These results suggest that although infection with enterovirus and astrovirus may be frequent in HIV-infected children, enteric viruses are not associated with the diarrhea frequently suffered by these children.     

Association of hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus infections in Tanzanian population groups

A study was performed to determine whether there is a correlation between hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in population groups in the Dar es Salaam area in Tanzania where HBV infection is endemic. A panel of 460 sera from army recruits, health personnel and pregnant women was tested. In the whole group seromarkers of HBV infection were found in 61.9 % of 134 HIV positive subjects versus 51.5 % of 326 seronegative subjects, a difference which was not statistically significant (p>0.05). In the group of pregnant women, however, 66.7 % of 120 HIV positive subjects had markers of HBV infection versus 49.0 % of the 157 HIV seronegative subjects (p<0.01). This shows that a considerable proportion of young females are also exposed to HBV at the time they acquire HIV infection.     

Herpetic infections and human immunodeficiency virus

Co-infection by HIV and HSV viruses his known since AIDS epidemic has started. A better knowledge of the strong relations between the two viruses has demonstrated that HSV infection increases the rate of HIV transmission. HSV2 infection is occurring in younger people below 20 years old where incidence has much increased those last years, in teen agers with a high number of sexual partners. The increase in HIV infection and transmission in HSV positive patients leads to treat genital ulcers to decline the rate of HIV and HSV transmission.     

Seroepidemiology of hepatitis B virus, hepatitis D virus, and human immunodeficiency virus infections among parenteral drug abusers in southern Taiwan

A total of 390 parenteral drug abusers (PDAs) at the Kaohsiung Municipal Narcotics Abstention Institute were examined for markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis D virus (HDV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). All sera were tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), surface antibody (anti-HBs), and core antibody (anti-HBc) by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and for antibody to HIV (anti-HIV) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and antibody to HDV (anti-HDV) were also tested for HBsAg-positive serum samples. Although the HBsAg-positive rate (22.1%) among PDAs was similar to that of the general population in southern Taiwan, the HBV infection rate (99.2%) and the anti-HDV-positive rate (78.5%) among HBsAg-positive subjects were significantly higher than those of the general population in southern Taiwan (P less than 0.0001). None of the PDAs studied were positive for anti-HIV. The levels of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) among PDAs were significantly higher than those of the general population in southern Taiwan (P less than 0.0001). The more frequent the institutionalisation, the higher the infection rates with HBV and HDV and elevated levels of SGOT and SGPT. Horizontal transmission through parenteral drug abuse may be considered a possible reason for the significantly higher rates of HBV and HDV among parenteral drug abusers.
