One of the two patients in the latencyreversing group who developed serious adverse events dropped out of the study because of toxic effects. Continue Reading Median time to viral-load rebound was 22 days. Time to first viral-load detection was the same in the two groups. However, there were no instances of virologic failure in either group, and upon the reintroduction of treatment, repression of viral load occurred very quickly, reported Jintanat Ananworanich, MD, PhD, from the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre in Bangkok. Clearly, a new strategy to reduce or eliminate HIV in reservoirs is needed, said Dr Ananworanich. As was shown in the case of the now-famous Berlin patient, it is possible to clear HIV from reservoirs, but extreme measures are needed. The HIV-infected Berlin patient received
Stem Cell Transplantation The EpiStem consortium was created to capitalize on this unique experience and to provide guidance to clinicians caring for HIV-infected patients who undergo stem cell transplantation for the treatment of a hematologic malignancy. Preliminary findings from an observational study, indicating that the procedure can lead to steep decreases in HIV reservoirs, were presented by Annemarie Wensing, MD, from University Medical Center in Utrecht, the Netherlands. To date, 15 HIV-infected patients with concurrent malignancy have undergone stem cell transplantation, and many received the same type of procedure as the Berlin patient. For ethical reasons, antiretroviral therapy has been continued in all patients. In the six patients who are still alive, ultrasensitive HIV DNA viral quantification has shown a systemic reduction in HIV reservoirs to very low levels. "In two cases with long-term follow-up, we were unable to detect infectious virus in blood, independent of the CCR5 status of the donor," Dr Wensing reported. "And in tissue, only traces of HIV DNA could be detected."
HIV to replicate and hide in the body," Dr. Ananworanich reported. And because "children are more able to make new immune cells than adults, they might be able to respond better to a vaccine or immune therapy," he added. "As a pediatrician, I am hopeful for these children." Sustained Virologic Remission Working toward sustained virologic remission might be more successful, and more feasible, than the shock and kill strategy. "We know that the body does not make an adequate immune response against HIV," said Dr Fauci. The chances for sustained virologic remission are better when patients are treated when they have a small HIV reservoir and a competent immune system. This constellation of factors is most likely to be seen immediately after a diagnosis of HIV. Ideally, a therapeutic vaccine could be used to prime the immune system to stand on guard against HIV replication. A trial in which a therapeutic vaccine was compared with placebo has been conducted, but the data have yet to be analyzed, Dr Fauci reported.

In the meantime, cure research must always take ethical issues into account, and progress must be balanced against the potential harm treatments can cause HIV-infected people who are essentially well. "We want to make sure that what we are doing for cure is better for the patient than what they are already receiving," Dr Fauci cautioned. "We have got to push for a cure, but it's got to be safe, it's got to be less toxic than what the person is already on, and it needs to be scalable to a large number of people," he said.

ADA Adenosine deaminase (ADA) assay kit is for determination of ADA activity in human serum samples. ADA is an enzyme catalyzing the deamination reaction from adenosine to inosine. The enzyme is widely distributed in human tissues, especially high in Tlymphocytes. Elevated serum ADA activity has been observed in patients with acute hepatitis, alcoholic hepatic fibrosis, chronic active hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, viral hepatitis and hepatoma. Increased ADA activity was also observed in patients with tuberculous effusions. Determination of ADA activity in patient serum may add unique values to the diagnosis of liver diseases in combination with ALT or γ-GT (GGT) tests. ADA assay may also be useful in the diagnostics of tuberculous pleuritis. Beijing Strong Biotechnologies, Inc (BSBE) Tel: +86-10-82012486 Fax: +86-10-82012812 Website: www.bsbe.com.cn
