HIV/AIDS患者机会性感染与CD4+ T淋巴细胞间的关联性

目的 研究人免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染者及艾滋病（AIDS）患者发生机会性感染的概率与自身CD4+ T淋巴细胞之间的关系,为HIV患者机会性感染的防治提供参考。方法 以2016年6月至2017年6月我院400例HIV患者为研究对象,回顾性分析不同CD4+T淋巴细胞计数HIV患者发生机会性感染的情况。结果 400例HIV患者发生机会性感染178例,总感染率为44.5%。CD4+T淋巴细胞计数≤50个/μL的患者机会性感染发生率（86.67%）最高,与其他各组比较差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。随着CD4+ T淋巴细胞计数的减少,HIV患者机会性感染率升高。178例机会性感染者中,单一感染82例,2部位感染52例,3部位感染28例,4部位以上感染16例。感染病原体检测显示,细菌感染84例（47.19%）,结核杆菌感染36例（20.22%）,病毒感染30例（16.85%,包括巨细胞病毒感染18例、单纯疱疹病毒感染12例）,真菌感染77例（43.25%,包括假丝酵母感染35例,肺孢子菌感染20例,马尔尼菲青霉菌感染12例,新型隐球菌感染10例）,未明确病原体性质34例（19.10%）,复合感染多见。结论 CD4+ T淋巴细胞水平与HIV患者继发机会性感染的概率关系密切。HIV患者CD4+ T淋巴细胞水平的监测对其继发机会性感染的防控具有重要临床意义。     

HIV and HCV: from Co-infection to epidemiology, transmission, pathogenesis, and treatment

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the infectious agent causing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a deadliest scourge of human society. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major causative agent of chronic liver disease and infects an estimated 170 million people worldwide, resulting in a serious public health burden. Due to shared routes of transmission, co-infection with HIV and HCV has become common among individuals who had high risks of blood exposures. Among hemophiliacs the co-infection rate accounts for 85%; while among injection drug users (IDU) the rate can be as high as 90%. HIV can accelerate the progression of HCV-related liver disease, particularly when immunodeficiency has developed. Although the effect of HCV on HIV infection is controversial, most studies showed an increase in mortality due to liver disease. HCV may act as a direct cofactor to fasten the progression of AIDS and decrease the tolerance of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HARRT). Conversely, HAART-related hepatotoxicity may enhance the progression of liver fibrosis. Due to above complications, co-infection with HCV and HIV-1 has imposed a critical challenge in the management of these patients. In this review, we focus on the epidemiology and transmission of HIV and HCV, the impact of the two viruses on each other, and their treatment.      

HIV阳性患者肠道菌群特征对联合抗反转录病毒治疗效果的预测

观察人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)阳性患者肠道菌群特征对联合抗反转录病毒治疗(cART)效果的预测作用, 以期为HIV阳性患者的抗病毒治疗获益评估提供辅助手段。

前瞻性选取我院2017年1月至2020年1月收治95例HIV阳性患者为研究对象, 均于治疗前收集患者资料, 分析患者肠道菌群特征, 实施cART治疗, 治疗6个月后评估疗效, 将患者划分为有效组和无效组, 采用回归分析检验HIV阳性患者肠道菌群特征与cART疗效的关系, 并分析肠道菌群特征对cART疗效的预测效能。

95例HIV阳性患者中共有69例cART治疗有效, 26例治疗无效。回归分析结果显示, HIV RNA载量、免疫球蛋白(Ig)A、IgG水平及肠道屎肠球菌、粪肠球菌、大肠埃希菌、乳杆菌、双歧杆菌数量均与HIV阳性患者治疗效果有关(OR=18.964、42 376.484、4.183、8.585、14.358、15.134、9.297、10.223, 均P < 0.001)。受试者工作曲线(ROC)显示, HIV阳性患者肠道屎肠球菌、粪肠球菌、大肠埃希菌、乳杆菌、双歧杆菌数量用于预测cART治疗无效风险的曲线下面积(AUC)均 > 0.80, 均有一定预测效能。

HIV阳性患者cART治疗的总有效率较低, 其疗效与HIV RNA载量、Ig水平及肠道菌群特征密切相关, 其中肠道主要菌群数量可用于预测HIV阳性患者cART治疗无效的风险。

Optimizing outcomes in HCC: Comment on “optimal timing of combining sorafenib with trans-arterial chemoembolization in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: A meta-analysis” by Jiang et al.

Recent years have witnessed notable advances in the management of intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, several questions remain unanswered, including the timely transition from locoregional to systemic therapies and the lack of data on sequencing. In this Commentary, we critically discuss the results of the interesting meta-analysis conducted by Jiang and colleagues on the role of the combination therapy of trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and sorafenib in this setting.     

女性艾滋病患者的抗反转录病毒治疗与人类免疫缺陷病毒母婴阻断

自从对感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的妊娠妇女实施抗反转录病毒治疗(ART)以预防母婴垂直传播以来,HIV母婴阻断成功率明显上升。而部分抗病毒药物,如依非韦伦和替诺福韦,也逐渐被证实用于妊娠期妇女对胎儿是安全的,这增加了HIV母婴阻断药物的选择范围。     

人类免疫缺陷病毒1型慢性感染者B细胞表型分析及抗反转录病毒治疗的修复作用

人类免疫缺陷病毒1型（HIV-1）感染会造成严重的免疫功能损伤,除引起CD4＋ T细胞不断耗损和功能损伤外,体液免疫应答也受到损伤。本研究通过检测HIV-1慢性感染者和慢性感染治疗者外周血B细胞数目和亚群比例,以及活化、凋亡和共刺激分子的表达,探讨 HIV-1感染者中B细胞损伤及抗反转录病毒治疗（ART）对B细胞损伤的修复作用。结果显示,HIV-1慢性感染者外周血B细胞数目显著低于健康对照组,其中未成熟B细胞、初始B细胞、静息记忆B细胞和浆母细胞显著降低,而组织样记忆B细胞显著增加, ART可恢复初始B细胞和组织样记忆B细胞比例,但不能恢复静息记忆B细胞比例。与健康对照组相比, HIV-1感染者未成熟B细胞、初始B细胞、静息记忆B细胞和组织样记忆B细胞中CD38的表达上调;CD95的表达在所有B细胞亚群中均上调;而Bcl-2在初始B细胞、组织样记忆B细胞和浆母细胞中的表达显著降低;静息记忆B细胞和浆母细胞中PD-1的表达上调;共刺激分子CD40在所有B细胞亚群中的表达降低,而CD70的表达在未成熟B细胞以外的亚群中均显著下调。ART仅能部分修复以上分子的表达。结果表明, HIV-1感染引起B细胞及其亚群比例异常,B细胞表现为过度活化、易凋亡及与T细胞作用受损,ART不能完全修复B细胞损伤,有效的免疫干预策略亟待开发。     

肝癌组织中miR-338-3p的表达及与临床病理参数的关系

目的:探讨肝癌组织中微小RNA-338-3p(miR-338-3p)的表达及与临床病理参数的关系。方法:选取2015年1月至2016年6月我院手术获得的67例肝癌组织标本,同时每例标本均取癌旁正常组织标本作为配对对照,采用实时定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)对两组组织标本中的miR-338-3p进行检测,并分析其与肝癌临床病理特征的关系。结果:45例(67.16%)miR-338-3p表达下调,22例(32.85%)表达上调;RT-qPCR结果显示,肝癌组织中miR-338-3p的相对含量为(0.76±0.38),低于癌旁正常组织中的(1.23±0.45),差异有统计学意义(t=-6.259,P=0.000)。miR-338-3p在低分化、TNM分期Ⅲ+Ⅳ期、肿瘤浸润深度T3+T4期、有淋巴结转移肝癌患者肝癌组织中的表达下调率高于中高分化、Ⅰ+Ⅱ期、T1+T2期、无淋巴结转移肝癌患者,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。不同性别、年龄、病理类型、肿瘤大小肝癌患者肝癌组织中miR-338-3p表达下调率差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:miR-338-3P在肝癌组织中呈低表达水平,与分化程度、TNM分期、肿瘤浸润深度、淋巴结转移有关,可能参与了肝癌的发生发展过程,早期检测可作为评估肝癌病情的指标。     

Somatic Mutations,Viral Integration and Epigenetic Modification in the Evolution of Hepatitis B Virus-Induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Liver cancer in men is the second leading cause of cancer death and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 70%-85% of the total liver cancer worldwide. Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the major cause of HCC. Chronic, intermittently active inflammation provides “fertile field” for “mutation, selection, and adaptation” of HBV and the infected hepatocytes, a long-term evolutionary process during HBV-induced carcinogenesis. HBV mutations, which are positively selected by insufficient immunity, can promote and predict the occurrence of HCC. Recently, advanced sequencing technologies including whole genome sequencing, exome sequencing, and RNA sequencing provide opportunities to better under-stand the insight of how somatic mutations, structure variations, HBV integrations, and epigenetic modifications contribute to HCC development. Genomic variations of HCC caused by various etiological factors may be different, but the common driver mutations are important to elucidate the HCC evolutionary process. Genome-wide analyses of HBV integrations are helpful in clarifying the targeted genes of HBV in carcinogenesis and disease progression. RNA sequencing can identify key molecules whose expressions are epigenetically modified during HCC evolution. In this review, we summarized the current findings of next generation sequencings for HBV-HCC and proposed a theory framework of Cancer Evolution and Development based on the current knowledge of HBV-induced HCC to characterize and interpret evolutionary mechanisms of HCC and possible other cancers. Understanding the key viral and genomic variations involved in HCC evolution is essential for generating effective diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets for the interventions of HBV-HCC.     

我国男男性行为人群中人类免疫缺陷病毒感染疫情特点及防治策略

目前我国人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染疫情总体处于低流行水平,但男男性行为（MSM）人群中HIV感染呈现快速上升趋势,传播亚型呈现出新的特点,疾病进展较快。HIV核酸及抗原抗体检测等手段对早期发现MSM人群中HIV感染者具有重要意义。解析MSM人群艾滋病疾病进展的影响因素,发现新的生物学标记,可为早期评估HIV感染的预后提供创新性手段。早期发现我国MSM人群中HIV感染者和抗病毒治疗等综合干预,对我国艾滋病流行的控制具有重要意义。

Stereotactic body radiation therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma: Optimal treatment strategies based on liver segmentation and functional hepatic reserve

AimTo discuss current dosage for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and suggest alternative treatment strategies according to liver segmentation as defined by the Couinaud classification.BackgroundSBRT is a safe and effective alternative treatment for HCC patients who are unable to undergo liver ablation/resection. However, the SBRT fractionation schemes and treatment planning strategies are not well established.Materials and methodsIn this article, the latest developments and key findings from research studies exploring the efficacy of SBRT fractionation schemes for treatment of HCC are reviewed. Patients’ characteristics, fractionation schemes, treatment outcomes and toxicities were compiled. Special attention was focused on SBRT fractionation approaches that take into consideration liver segmentation according to the Couinaud classification and functional hepatic reserve based on Child–Pugh (CP) liver cirrhosis classification.ResultsThe most common SBRT fractionation schemes for HCC were 3 × 10–20 Gy, 4–6 × 8–10 Gy, and 10 × 5–5.5 Gy. Based on previous SBRT studies, and in consideration of tumor size and CP classification, we proposed 3 × 15–25 Gy for patients with tumor size <3 cm and adequate liver reserve (CP-A score 5), 5 × 10–12 Gy for patients with tumor sizes between 3 and 5 cm or inadequate liver reserve (CP-A score 6), and 10 × 5–5.5 Gy for patients with tumor size >5 cm or CP-B score.ConclusionsTreatment schemes in SBRT for HCC vary according to liver segmentation and functional hepatic reserve. Further prospective studies may be necessary to identify the optimal dose of SBRT for HCC.
