Approach: … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,623 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Lipid-Lowering Efficacy of Switching Within Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in HIV-Infected PatientsA.M. Bain, K.D. Payne, A.P. Rahman et al.The objective of present research is to evaluate the lipid lowering efficacy and safety of switching within non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) in HIV-infected patients. This is a multicenter, retrospective study utilizing a comprehensive electronic patient registry to identify all adult HIV-infected patients seen from October 1, 1998 through October 1, 2006, who substituted efavirenz for nevirapine (EFV→NVP) or vice-versa … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInduction of a Soluble Anti-HIV-1 factor (s) with IFN-γ, IL-10, and β-Chemokine Modulating Activity by an Influenza-Bacterial Polyantigenic MixtureJosé W. Rodríguez, Nat O. Pagan, Mar C. Ocasio et al.Partial immune restoration may be obtained with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but specific anti-HIV-1 immune responses do not appear to improve substantially. We have demonstrated that a soluble factor(s) induced by a mixture of inactivated influenza and bacterial vaccines called polyantigenic immunomodulator (PAI), possesses strong immunoregulatory and anti- HIV-1 activities. In the present study, we show that culture fluids … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCo-expression of Apoptosis-Related Molecules on Activated CD8+ CD38+ T-cells is Associated with HIV-1 Disease ProgressionJosé W. Rodríguez, Luis A. Rodríguez, Griselle Font et al.CD8+ T cells play a major role in controlling HIV-1 infection through the release of soluble lytic and non-lytic antiviral factors. Their decrease or defective function contributes to the HIV-1 disease progression. HIV-1 disease progression has been associated with a remarkable increase of CD38 expression on CD8+ T-cells. It has been also documented that a significant distribution of HIV-specific CD8+T-cells … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractCRISPR-CAS SYSTEM: A FEASIBLE SOLUTION FOR GETTING RID OF PERSISTENT VIRAL INFECTION?Zhaohua ZhongMany viruses, including DNA and RNA viruses, can persistently replicate in the infected cells and cause a prolonged damage. Herpes viruses can be latent in its host cells. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) reversely transcripts its RNA genome to DNA and integrates to the host’s chromosome. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) persistently stay in the host cells … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 10 Nov 2014 · 12,614 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model for the CD4 Cell Counts in an HIV/AIDS Patient and its Application in Treatment InterventionsRichard O. Simwa, Joseph Y.T. MugishaThe number of CD4 white blood cells has been established as an important clinical marker of disease progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) for persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The number of CD4 cells per unit volume is expected to decrease with time since infection by the virus. However on introduction of treatment interventions, the process is expected … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,842 accessesView PDFCite
