Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Artificial Neural Networks in Analysis Cationic Trypsinogen Gene and Hepatitis B Surface AntigenLiu Qicai, Zeng Kai, Zhuang Zehao et al.Problem statement: More and more severe hepatitis cases reported in China are infected with HBV and the immune response of HBV will be reduced if mutations occur in the TCR, therefore it is very important to investigate the relation of T-cellular function and clinical effect by studying the function of T-cell receptor. Approach: Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) was applied to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProgressive Resistance Training on Elderly HIV+ Patients: Does it Work?Paula Maria Loiola De Souza, Wilson Jacob Filho, José Maria Santarém et al.Elderly people present significant alterations on body composition and physical fitness, compromising their quality of life. Chronic diseases, including HIV/AIDS, worsen this situation by increasing aging effects on body composition and muscle strength. Resistance exercises are prescribed by major health organizations for improving fitness and promoting a shift towards a healthier and more independent aging. In addition, recovering strength and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-Birth Weight and Pre-Term Delivery in Relation to Lopinavir/Ritonavir Use in PregnancyJorge Senise, Reisson Cruz, Ricardo Palacios et al.The toxic potential of nevirapine in pregnant women with CD4 count over 250 cells mm-3 and the unsatisfactory efficacy of nelfinavir in patients with baseline Viral Load (VL) over 100,000 copies mL-1 has prompted the use of Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in selected situations. This study aims to assess safety of LPV/r in pregnancy. Medical records from pregnant women receiving LPV/r were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,954 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBetter Understanding of the Immunosuppressive Link between the Lymphocytic Immune Cells and the Decreased Cell Mediated Immunity in Head and Neck Cancer PatientsA.S. Abdulamir, R.R. Hafidh, N. Abdulmuhaimen et al.The purpose of this study was to determine the phenotyping of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes (PBL) in Head and Neck Cancers (HNCA) patients and to relate this with the level of Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) measured by in vitro lymphoproliferative assay, in order to evaluate immune suppression in HNCA patients and its possible mechanisms. Accordingly, one hundred twenty two HNCA patients and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,303 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoronary Heart Disease (CHD) Risk Factors and Metabolic Syndrome in HIV-Positive Drug Users in MiamiMarianna K Baum, Carlin Rafie, Shenghan Lai et al.The frequency of coronary heart disease (CHD) is increasing among HIV seropositive persons. This phenomenon may be related to HIV disease itself, the use of antiretroviral medications and increased length of survival, or the synergism of these factors. In this study we have calculated the 10-year CHD risk estimate and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a cohort of 118 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeishmania donovani: Immunomodulatory Role of 63KDa Leishmania Antigen in the Promotion of IFN-gamma Response (VL vs HIV-VL Co-infection)Pranati, Sanjiva Bimal, K. Pandey et al.Cytokine behavior of T-lymphocytes is not very clear when a patient is co-infected with Leishmania donovani and HIV. To achieve this we studied groups of patients comprising of VL infected, HIV infected and HIV-VL co-infected cases. As compared to lone infections by either of the infecting agent, the co-infection cases showed greatly diminished CD4 T-cell counts and slightly enhanced values … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling the Efficacy of Antiretroviral Treatment in HIV Patients: Case of Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Tshwane, Gauteng Province, South AfricaMadimetja Marcus Motshwane, Solly Matshonisa SeeletseThis paper used survival analysis to evaluate the efficacy of antiretroviral (ARV) treatment in HIV patients and also to determine if ARVs reduces the risk of HIV/AIDS. Secondary data were collected from files archived in Tshepang Clinic in Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Tshwane, Gauteng Province of South Africa. Survival time was regressed on influential variables that affect survival. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 17 Aug 2016 · 7,768 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Protective acute inflammatory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMULTI-STATE MODELS OF HIV/AIDS BY HOMOGENEOUS SEMI-MARKOV PROCESSZelalem Getahun DessieMulti-state stochastic models are useful tools for studying complex dynamics such as chronic diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine factors associated with the progression between different stages of the disease and to model the progression of HIV/AIDS disease of an individual patient under ART follow-up using semi-Markov processes. A sample of 1456 patients has been taken from … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 11 Aug 2014 · 8,209 accessesView PDFCite
