HIV-associated Hodgkin lymphoma during the first months on combination antiretroviral therapy

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) incidence with HIV infection may have increased with the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), suggesting that immune reconstitution may contribute to some cases. We evaluated HL risk with cART during the first months of treatment. With 187 HL cases among 64 368 HIV patients in France, relative rates (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of HL were estimated using Poisson models for duration of cART, CD4 count, and HIV load, with and without adjustment for demographic/clinical covariates. HL risk was unrelated to cART use overall, but it was related to time intervals after cART initiation (P = .006). Risk was especially and significantly elevated in months 1-3 on cART (RR 2.95, CI 1.64-5.31), lower in months 4-6 (RR 1.63), and null with longer use (RR 1.00). CD4 count was strongly associated with HL risk (P < 10??), with the highest HL incidence at 50-99 CD4 cells/mm3. With adjustment for CD4 count and covariates, HL risk was elevated, but not significantly (RR 1.42), in months 1-3 on cART. HIV load had no added effect. HL risk increased significantly soon after cART initiation, which was largely explained by the CD4 count. Further studies of HIV-associated HL are needed.

Long-term nonprogressors and elite controllers in the ANRS CO5 HIV-2 cohort

Among 342 HIV-2-infected patients of the ANRS CO5 HIV-2 cohort, the prevalence of long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs) (i.e. asymptomatic for at least 8 years while maintaining CD4 cell count at least 500 cells/μl) and of HIV controllers (i.e. controlling HIV replication in the absence of antiretroviral treatment for at least 10 years) was 6.1% (95% confidence interval 3.9-9.1) and 9.1% (6.3-12.7), respectively. Most LTNPs (81%) were HIV controllers, whereas only 55% of HIV controllers were LTNPs.     

Antioxidants Properties,Physicochemical, and Sensory Quality Attributes of a New Soy-Based Beverage with Lemongrass and Lime Juice

This work aimed at developing a new soy-based beverage and studying the influence of formulation ingredients on its antioxidants, physicochemical, and sensory properties. For this purpose, mixed beverages with lemongrass, lime juice, and soymilk were formulated. Soy-based beverages showed differences in pH, ratio, and color as compared to mixed beverages without soy. Soymilk increased the phenolics content and the ABTS antioxidant capacity, while lemongrass aqueous extract increased the DPPH antioxidant capacity of soy-based beverages. The new soy-based beverage had good acceptance for all attributes and can be considered a viable alternative source of nutrients and bioactive compounds to consumers.     

Variability index of tacrolimus serum levels in pediatric liver transplant recipients younger than 12 years: Non‐adherence or risk of non‐adherence?

MLVI has been used to assess adherence. To determine the MLVI in children <12 years of age at transplantation and to identify demographic correlates and consequences for the graft. This is a retrospective study of 50 outpatients (4.0 ± 3.5 years), at least 13‐month post‐liver transplantation. The outcomes evaluated were MLVI, ALT > 60 IU/L, ACR, death, and graft loss. We analyzed demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, indication for transplantation, and type of donor. Student's t test and the chi‐square test were used. Statistical significance was set at P ≤ .05. Seventy‐two percent were infants or preschoolers, 62% biliary atresia. Seventy‐four percent of the mothers had middle‐school education, and 54% of the families had an income ≤3632.4 US$/y. Twenty‐two (44%) patients had a MLVI ≥ 2 SD; this was more prevalent in families with higher incomes (P = .045). ALT levels > 60 IU/L were more common in MLVI ≥ 2 SD group (P = .035). ACR episodes were similar between groups (P = 1.000). No patient died or lost the graft. MLVI ≥ 2 SD may be an indicator of the risk of medication non‐adherence.
