The HIV epidemic in China： history, response, and challenge

The first case of AIDS was reported in 1985 in China, but by the early 21st century, the government estimated that there were 840,000 citizens living with HIV/AIDS. The number is increasing rapidly. The major risk groups are injection drug users （IDUSs; 43%） and former plasma donors （27%）, but rates among heterosexual groups are rising rapidly. Sentinel surveillance was initiated in 1986, and now includes IDUs, men-who-have-sex-with-men, sexually transmitted disease clinic attendees, antenatal women, long-distance truck drivers, and sex workers. Although the government was slow to respond to the epidemic in the late 20th century, it has made a vigorous response in the early 21st century. Components of that response include implementation and evaluation of harm reduction programs for IDUs, education to increase knowledge and reduce stigma, treatment and social support for rural and poor HIV/AIDS patients, widespread testing, and increased funding for HIV/AIDS programs. International agencies have been generous in their support of the government initiatives. To successfully combat the epidemic, China needs to develop and train the necessary infrastructure to implement its intervention programs, particularly in the rural areas, to vigorously combat stigma and discrimination, support research especially in the universities and research institutions other than the China Centers for Disease Control, develop a system for efficient exchange of research and program information, and update legislation to reflect the current situation.

MTCS for Cancer and AIDS Treatment, A Brief Introduction

Modified Trichosanthin(MTCS)is a new drug for treating cancer,AIDS and other viral infectionsdeveloped with protein engineering technologies.Its pre-clinical research works were completed by ShanghaiInstitute for Biological Sciences(formerly Shanghai Institute of Cell Biology),Chinese Academy of Sciences.This project is currently seeking partnership world-wide.     

CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞与人类获得性免疫缺陷病毒感染

CD4 CD25 是调节性T细胞中功能最重要的一类.它是一类具有特殊免疫调节功能的T细胞亚群.它能够抑制自身免疫病的发生和发展,参与肿瘤免疫的调节,同时在感染和移植免疫中也发挥着极其重要的作用.T细胞的这一亚群具有免疫调节和免疫抑制的特性,新近发现它亦与爱滋病的发生、发展关系密切.HIV进入人体后,CD4 CD25 调节性T细胞抑制了机体的免疫效应但它也同时被感染,最终由于细胞毒的作用而死亡.由于调节性T细胞数量的减少不能有效的发挥其抑制作用,HIV持续的过度活化使得T细胞逐渐耗竭说明在HIV发生、发展的不同阶段Treg细胞可能都发挥了免疫抑制作用,但是却对HIV感染与爱滋病发病的进程产生了不同的效应.此外,CD4 CD25 调节性T细胞还与HIV病毒的持续存在密切相关.本文就CD4 CD25 调节性T细胞与人类获得性免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染之间关系进行初步的探讨.     

Update on the laboratory diagnosis and monitoring of HIV infection

In China, the estimated number of HIV infected cases is approaching one million. Although public education has been initiated for awareness and behavioral modification for this devastating infection, better diagnostic methods are needed to identify infected persons and manage infection. Simple and more accurate diagnostic tools have become available, particularly for early detection and to monitor treatment in those who receive anti-retroviral treatment. In this short review, we summarize some of the common and new methodologies that can be used in clinical laboratories, in the field, or in private laboratories. These range from simple antibody tests to more sophistical methods that are used to monitor disease progression and identify drug resistance. These tools can assist physicians, medical practitioners, and laboratory personnel to select suitable diagnostic tools for the diagnosis, blood screening, monitoring of disease progression, and for detection of drug resistance to anti-retroviral therapies.     

查明一种“超级癌症”的病因

“超级癌症”就是爱滋病,潜伏期较长的一种不治之症,科学家已查明其病因以采取对策,目前,这种死亡率特高的病在西方国家里引起恐慌。在成年人当中有两种病-T细胞的血病和获得性免疫缺损综合症(AIDD)或称爱滋病,后者广为流行,至今成为无法治愈的严重疾病,这两种病均由人类T细胞白血病病毒(HTLV)所引起的。     

Snapshot of HIV pathogenesis in China

Several reviews have focused on the nature of HIV infection and its spread in various geographical regions of China. In contrast, this review provides a comprehensive update on the prevalence of multiple HIV- 1 subtypes, consequent emergence of recombinant and novel forms of HIV- 1 in China, and the implications this may have on HIV diversity and the development of effective vaccines. In addition it also examines the dissemination of primary drug resistance in therapy naive patients, as well as co-infections with two other important viruses-hepatitis B and C. The main purpose of this review is to provide a current snapshot of HIV-1 pathogenesis in China and possibly shed some light on the future of HIV evolution, and potential challenges for future vaccine and anti-retroviral therapeutics against HIV strains in this area.
