The extent to which HIV-1 proviral DNA mutations cause clinically relevant antiretroviral resistance is still controversial. Paired plasma HIV-1 RNA and whole blood DNA were compared in patients failing HAART to investigate if the additional knowledge of archived mutations could improve the selection of potentially active drugs. Seventy-three HIV-1-infected patients with first/second HAART failure were studied before starting a new regimen based on RNA genotyping. Follow-up data after a 12-week therapy were available. DNA genotyping was retrospectively performed on stored whole blood samples and mutational profiles were compared to those from RNA. The mean number of IAS pol mutations was significantly higher in RNA (4.45 ± 2.76) than in DNA (2.88 ± 2.47) (P < 0.001). DNA genotyping provided a 6% increase in detection of resistance-associated mutations. Among 64/73 patients showing discordant DNA/RNA profiles, 54 (84%) also differed for predicted active drugs. 16/73 (22%) patients had ≥1 mutation revealed by DNA genotyping alone, probably affecting therapy success in 2/16. However, neither RNA/DNA discordance nor detection of isolated DNA mutations were statistically associated with outcome. In conclusion, plasma RNA remains the elective choice for HIV genotyping in patients with therapy failure, even if the detection of proviral resistance-associated mutations, not simultaneously found in RNA, is a frequent event. Therefore, in some cases DNA plus RNA genotyping might assist in choosing more accurately subsequent antiretroviral regimens. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Introduction The use of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically reduced HIV-1 associated morbidity and mortality. However, HIV-1 infected individuals have increased rates of morbidity and mortality compared to the non-HIV-1 infected population and this appears to be related to end-organ diseases collectively referred to as Serious Non-AIDS Events (SNAEs). Circulating miRNAs are reported as promising biomarkers for a number of human disease conditions including those that constitute SNAEs. Our study sought to investigate the potential of selected miRNAs in predicting mortality in HIV-1 infected ART treated individuals. Materials and Methods A set of miRNAs was chosen based on published associations with human disease conditions that constitute SNAEs. This case: control study compared 126 cases (individuals who died whilst on therapy), and 247 matched controls (individuals who remained alive). Cases and controls were ART treated participants of two pivotal HIV-1 trials. The relative abundance of each miRNA in serum was measured, by RTqPCR. Associations with mortality (all-cause, cardiovascular and malignancy) were assessed by logistic regression analysis. Correlations between miRNAs and CD4+ T cell count, hs-CRP, IL-6 and D-dimer were also assessed. Results None of the selected miRNAs was associated with all-cause, cardiovascular or malignancy mortality. The levels of three miRNAs (miRs -21, -122 and -200a) correlated with IL-6 while miR-21 also correlated with D-dimer. Additionally, the abundance of miRs -31, -150 and -223, correlated with baseline CD4+ T cell count while the same three miRNAs plus miR-145 correlated with nadir CD4+ T cell count. Discussion No associations with mortality were found with any circulating miRNA studied. These results cast doubt onto the effectiveness of circulating miRNA as early predictors of mortality or the major underlying diseases that contribute to mortality in participants treated for HIV-1 infection.

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health issue for HIV-positive individuals, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Development and implementation of a risk score model for CKD would allow comparison of the risks and benefits of adding potentially nephrotoxic antiretrovirals to a treatment regimen and would identify those at greatest risk of CKD. The aims of this study were to develop a simple, externally validated, and widely applicable long-term risk score model for CKD in HIV-positive individuals that can guide decision making in clinical practice. Methods and Findings A total of 17,954 HIV-positive individuals from the Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) study with ≥3 estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values after 1 January 2004 were included. Baseline was defined as the first eGFR > 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 after 1 January 2004; individuals with exposure to tenofovir, atazanavir, atazanavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, other boosted protease inhibitors before baseline were excluded. CKD was defined as confirmed (>3 mo apart) eGFR ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Poisson regression was used to develop a risk score, externally validated on two independent cohorts. In the D:A:D study, 641 individuals developed CKD during 103,185 person-years of follow-up (PYFU; incidence 6.2/1,000 PYFU, 95% CI 5.7–6.7; median follow-up 6.1 y, range 0.3–9.1 y). Older age, intravenous drug use, hepatitis C coinfection, lower baseline eGFR, female gender, lower CD4 count nadir, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) predicted CKD. The adjusted incidence rate ratios of these nine categorical variables were scaled and summed to create the risk score. The median risk score at baseline was −2 (interquartile range –4 to 2). There was a 1:393 chance of developing CKD in the next 5 y in the low risk group (risk score < 0, 33 events), rising to 1:47 and 1:6 in the medium (risk score 0–4, 103 events) and high risk groups (risk score ≥ 5, 505 events), respectively. Number needed to harm (NNTH) at 5 y when starting unboosted atazanavir or lopinavir/ritonavir among those with a low risk score was 1,702 (95% CI 1,166–3,367); NNTH was 202 (95% CI 159–278) and 21 (95% CI 19–23), respectively, for those with a medium and high risk score. NNTH was 739 (95% CI 506–1462), 88 (95% CI 69–121), and 9 (95% CI 8–10) for those with a low, medium, and high risk score, respectively, starting tenofovir, atazanavir/ritonavir, or another boosted protease inhibitor. The Royal Free Hospital Clinic Cohort included 2,548 individuals, of whom 94 individuals developed CKD (3.7%) during 18,376 PYFU (median follow-up 7.4 y, range 0.3–12.7 y). Of 2,013 individuals included from the SMART/ESPRIT control arms, 32 individuals developed CKD (1.6%) during 8,452 PYFU (median follow-up 4.1 y, range 0.6–8.1 y). External validation showed that the risk score predicted well in these cohorts. Limitations of this study included limited data on race and no information on proteinuria. Conclusions Both traditional and HIV-related risk factors were predictive of CKD. These factors were used to develop a risk score for CKD in HIV infection, externally validated, that has direct clinical relevance for patients and clinicians to weigh the benefits of certain antiretrovirals against the risk of CKD and to identify those at greatest risk of CKD., Editors’ Summary Background About 35 million people are currently infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. HIV destroys CD4 lymphocytes and other immune system cells, leaving infected individuals susceptible to other infections. HIV infection can be controlled, but not cured, using combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), and, nowadays, the life expectancy of many HIV-positive individuals is similar to that of HIV-negative people. HIV-positive individuals nevertheless experience some illnesses more frequently than HIV-negative people do. For example, up to a third of HIV-positive individuals develop chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Persons with CKD may have an impaired effect of the filtration units in the kidneys that remove waste products and excess water from the blood to make urine, thereby leading to a reduced blood filtration rate (the estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]) and waste product accumulation in the blood. Symptoms of CKD, which rarely occur until the disease is advanced, include tiredness, swollen feet, and frequent urination. Advanced stages of CKD cannot be cured, but its progression can be slowed by, for example, controlling hypertension (high blood pressure) and diabetes (two CDK risk factors) and by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Why Was This Study Done? The burden of CKD may increase among HIV-positive individuals as they age, and clinicians need to know which individuals are at high risk of developing CKD when choosing cART regimens for their patients. In addition, clinicians need to be able to identify those HIV-positive individuals at greatest risk of CKD so that they can monitor them for early signs of kidney disease. Some antiretroviral drugs—for example, tenofovir and atazanavir/ritonavir (a boosted protease inhibitor)—are associated with kidney damage. Clinicians may need to weigh the benefits and risks of giving such potentially nephrotoxic drugs to individuals who already have a high CKD risk. Here, the researchers develop and validate a simple, widely applicable risk score (a risk prediction model) for CKD among HIV-positive individuals and investigate the relationship between CKD and potentially nephrotoxic antiretroviral drugs among individuals with different CKD risk score profiles. What Did the Researchers Do and Find? To develop their CKD risk score, the researchers used clinical and demographic data collected from 17,954 HIV-positive individuals enrolled in the Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) study who had an eGFR > 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and were not taking a potentially nephrotoxic antiretroviral at baseline. During 103,185 person-years of follow-up, 641 individuals developed CKD. Older age, intravenous drug use, hepatitis C coinfection, lower baseline eGFR, female gender, lower CD4 count nadir, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease predicted CKD. The researchers included these nine factors in their risk score model (which is available online) and defined three risk groups: low (risk score < 0), medium (risk score 0–4), and high (risk score ≥ 5) risk of CKD development in the next five years. Specifically, there was a 1 in 393, 1 in 47, and 1 in 6 chance of developing CKD in the next five years in the low, medium, and high risk groups, respectively. Because some patients started to use potentially nephrotoxic antiretroviral drugs during follow-up, the researchers were able to use their risk score model to calculate how many patients would have to be treated with one of these drugs for an additional patient to develop CKD over five years in each risk group. This “number needed to harm” (NNTH) for patients starting treatment with tenofovir, atazanavir/ritonavir, or another boosted protease inhibitor was 739, 88, and 9 in the low, medium, and high risk groups, respectively. Finally, the researchers validated the accuracy of their risk score in two independent HIV study groups. What Do These Findings Mean? These findings provide a simple, validated risk score for CKD and indicate that the NNTH when starting potentially nephrotoxic antiretrovirals was low among HIV-positive individuals at the highest risk of CKD (i.e., treating just nine individuals with nephrotoxic antiretroviral drugs will likely lead to an additional case of CKD in five years). Although various aspects of the study, including the lack of data on race, limit the accuracy of these findings, these findings highlight the need for monitoring, screening, and chronic disease prevention to minimize the risk of HIV-positive individuals developing diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease, or becoming coinfected with hepatitis C, all of which contribute to the CKD risk score. Moreover, the development of a tool for estimating an individual’s five-year risk of developing CKD with or without the addition of potentially nephrotoxic antiretroviral drugs will enable clinicians and patients to weigh the benefits of certain antiretroviral drugs against the risk of CKD and make informed decisions about treatment options.

Neurologic abnormalities are common in HIV-1-infected patients and often represent the dominant clinical manifestation of pediatric AIDS. The neurological dysfunction has been directly related to CNS invasion by HIV-1 that is principally, if not exclusively, supported by blood-derived monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes. By using primary long term cultures of human fetal sensory neurons as well as sympathetic precursors-like neuronal cells, we determined that blood-derived mononuclear cells from HIV-1-infected individuals spontaneously release soluble mediators that can potently inhibit the growth and survival of developing neurons as well as the viability of postmitotic neuronal cells by inducing apoptotic cell death. Analysis of the cytokines produced by lymphomonocytic cells, HIV-1 infected or activated, indicated that oncostatin M (oncM) is a major mediator of these effects. Since low TGF-β1 concentrations were capable of enhancing oncM-mediated neuronal alterations, our data indicate that by acting in concert with other cytokines, oncM may induce neuronal demise in both the developing and the mature brain. Thus, this cytokine may contribute to the setting of the neuronal cell damage observed in HIV-1-infected individuals.

Immunology ,Immunology and Allergy - Abstract
A combination of three beta, or C-C, chemokines, as well as IL-16, have been shown to inhibit HIV replication in vitro. Cellular antiviral factor is a more potent agent, and acts on all HIV strains. All are mainly, but not exclusively, produced by CD8+ T cells, both in HIV+ and healthy subjects. We studied the production of these HIV-suppressive factors in patients with HIV infection at different stages of disease. No difference in production by PBMC stimulated with PHA has been observed in asymptomatic HIV+, long-term nonprogressors (LTnP), and AIDS patients. When T cell line supernatants from these three groups were studied, no significant difference was found for C-C chemokines or IL-16 production, and viral suppression. However, T cell clones from LTnP secreted higher levels of all three chemokines, IL-16, and exerted a stronger inhibition on HIV replication. CD8+ clones showed a higher production than CD4+ clones. These clones were able to produce all antiviral factors irrespective of the secretion of type 1 or type 2 cytokines. The antiviral activities were not correlated, implying that viral suppression did not depend solely on C-C chemokines or IL-16. We postulate that all factors are needed to prevent HIV disease progression.

Malpractice is the responsible for the greatest number of legal claims. At the present time, legal actions against physicians in Italy are 15,000 per year, and a stunning increase about costs to refund patients injured by therapeutic and diagnostic errors is expected. The method for the medical prevention is “Risk Management”, that is the setting-up of organizational instruments, methods and actions that enable the measurement or estimation of medical risk; it allows to develop strategies to govern and reduce medical error. In the present work, the reconstruction about the history of risk management in Italy was carried out. After then the latest initiatives undertaken by Italy about the issue of risk management were examined.

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) seroconversion and viremia have been reported in patients treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A prevalence study was conducted to evaluate the rate of HCV infection in patients undergoing long-term treatment with IVIG. Fifty-four patients with congenital or acquired hypogammaglobulinemia treated with IVIG at 300 to 400 mg per kg every 14 to 21 days for a mean of 6.6 years were enrolled for clinical and biochemical examination. The type of IVIG preparation (type 1 only, type 2 only, or other products) administered to each patient was recorded. Antibodies to HCV were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblotting; HCV RNA was detected by nested polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Anti-HCV was detected in 31 patients (57.4%) and HCV RNA was found in 5 patients (9.2%), all of whom were anti-HCV-positive. Abnormal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were found in 10 patients (18.5%). Circulating HCV RNA (p = 0.01) and elevated ALT (p = 0.01) correlated significantly with anti- HCV positivity. Moreover, the rates of anti-HCV positivity and of ALT elevation were significantly higher among patients treated with type 1 IVIG and other products than among those receiving type 2 IVIG (p < 0.001 and p = 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION: Anti-HCV positivity and viremia were frequently observed. The significant correlation between the detection of HCV RNA, the elevation of ALT, and positivity for anti- HCV suggests HCV infection. Exclusion of anti-HCV-positive donors and of anti-HCV-positive IVIG lots should improve the safety of IVIG.

We describe a new simplified solid phase immunoassay for the detection of anti-HIV antibodies. The results obtained analyzing a panel of sera from subjects showing a different pattern of reactivity on enzyme immunoassays and on Western blot demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity. The test does not require experienced laboratory staff nor the use of costly laboratory instruments.

Twenty-two patients with vitiligo had lesions stable for at least 1 year and 23 apparently healthy first-degree relatives were studied for T-cell subpopulations using monoclonal antibody technique. High levels of CD4+ lymphocytes and high CD4/CD8 ratios were found in both patients and their relatives, as compared with normal age-matched and sex-matched controls. This immunologic abnormality, together with the presence of autoantibodies previously reported in the apparently normal relatives, seems to be the hallmark of the disease. Further support of this interpretation comes from the observation that two out of the 23 apparently healthy relatives went on to develop vitiligo in a 2-year follow-up.

Immunology ,Immunology and Allergy - Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of some cytoskeleton components in killing mechanisms. In fact, a microtubule and microfilament (MF) rearrangement in the lytic sequence of CTL and NK cells has been observed. In particular, MF seem to be related to the binding phase, because MF inhibitors suppress the binding of NK cells to the target, whereas microtubule inhibitors suppress only the killing phase. In this paper, the distribution of two cytoskeleton components, actin and alpha- and beta-tubulin, has been studied in PBL from AIDS patients, who maintain the capacity to bind to the target cell line K562 but are not able to kill it. PBL were labeled with mAb to these two cytoskeleton components, and then indirect immunofluorescence was used to visualize their distribution in the conjugates. A normal polarization of actin in the effector PBL was found, whereas no tubulin rearrangement was evident in the effector and target cells. On the contrary, in conjugates of PBL or large granular lymphocytes from normal donors and K562, a polarization of actin in the effector cell and a polarization of tubulin both in the effector and in the target cells, at the site of the attachment, was evident. These data suggest that a deficiency of tubulin rearrangement may underlie the inability of the NK cells from AIDS patients to kill their target.

The polyethylene-glicol (P.E.G.) precipitation assay was used to examine the sera of 91 pregnant women, 30 with normal pregnancies, 16 with EPH-Gestosis, 20 with pregnancy complicated by diabetes and 25 with case histories of recurrent abortions, in order to find evidence of eventual circulating immune complexes (C.I.C.). We also examined 30 amniotic fluids from normal pregnant women and 6 from pregnant women with diabetes. Several sera and all amniotic fluids were also examined by rheumatoid factor (RF) - inhibition test. C.I.C. were not discovered in the normal pregnant women neither in their sera nor in their amniotic fluids, while they were found in the following cases: in 8 patients with EPH-Gestosis (50%), in 8 with diabetes (40%) and in 3 with anamnesis positive for recurrent abortions (12%). The 6 amniotic fluid samples from women with diabetes were all negative. We were only able to examine 11 of the 19 positive cases from 4 days to 5 months after delivery and C.I.C. were absent in the sera of all the patients.

We have investigated 25 intravenous drug abusers with the clinical and laboratory features of lymphadenopathy syndrome (LAS) and 10 AIDS patients for the expression of NK activity. LAS and AIDS patients had low NK cytotoxicity compared to normal donors. The defective NK cytotoxicity was analysed in the eight LAS subjects with most marked depression. NK effectors were identified by morphology (large granular lymphocytes, LGL) and monoclonal antibody-defined surface markers (B73.1, N901, HNK1). LAS patients had normal percentages of LGL and B73.1+ and N901+ cells. with the exception of two subjects with very low frequency of B73.1+ and N901+ cells. The percentage of HNK1+ cells was increased in LAS, probably because of the reactivity of this reagent with a subset of conventional OKT8+ cells, relatively augmented in LAS subjects. Depletion of monocytes did not enhance NK activity consistently. LAS patients had a normal frequency of cells capable of binding K562. In-vitro exposure to interferon beta (natural) or gamma (recombinant) augmented the defective NK activity of LAS subjects. Thus, patients with LAS have defective NK activity that cannot be accounted for by a low frequency of the relevant effector cells or by monocytic suppressors. These observations suggest a functional defect of NK cells at one or more of the post-binding steps required for the completion of killing.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is characterized by a progressive decline in immune functions. The behavior of B-cell clones specifically engaged in the anti-HIV response could play a relevant role in the pathogenesis of such impairment. The spectrotype observed on isoelectric focusing and reverse blotting after antigen challenge is the serum image of antigen-specific B-cell activity and may provide some insight into Ag-dependent B-cell clone recruitment. In this study, we examined the spectrotype of anti-gp120 antibodies in a group of sera from 56 HIV-infected patients, belonging to groups II, III, and IV of the Centers for Disease Control classification, as well as in a group of 31 sera from 12 patients in a 21-month follow-up evaluation (range 7-36 months). All tested sera were positive for gp120 antibodies on Western blot. In the first group of 56 HIV-infected subjects, only 19 displayed well-focused banding patterns. Among these, the spectrotype was found to be consistently oligoclonal, thus confirming clonal restriction of anti-gp120 antibodies previously described by other investigators. No correlation could be established between a particular spectrotype and phase of the disease. The follow-up evaluation in the second group of 31 sera revealed the tendency in each patient to maintain the same spectrotype throughout the course of the disease. These findings confirm clonal restriction of anti-gp120 antibodies in HIV infection and suggest that the number of B-cell clones recruited in the anti-gp120 response remains stable over the course of the disease, at least in the time range explored by us.

The replication of the human T lymphotropic retrovirus HTLV-III in persistently infected cells is relatively insensitive to the direct antiviral action of human interferon-alpha or -gamma (IFN-alpha or -gamma), showing only a two- to threefold reduction of HTLV-III, even though the host cells are very sensitive to IFN, as shown by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-yield reduction assay (4-5 log reduction of VSV). However, IFN anticellular activity is strongly enhanced in the presence of normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells, suggesting a cell-mediated effect of IFNs.

The persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (PGL) in drug addicts displays the same immunological abnormalities previously found in homosexual and haemophiliac men with PGL: impaired in vivo and in vitro T cell functions, inverted T4/T8 ratio in blood and B cell abnormalities. The peripheral blood B-lymphocytes, in fact, show a reduced in vitro immunoglobulin synthesis after pokeweed mitogen and Staphylococcus aureus activation, with an increased spontaneous IgG secretion. In the lymph node biopsies, the immuno-histological studies reveal an infiltration of OKT8 positive cells in the germinal centers, a depletion of OKT4 positive lymphocytes slighter than in the blood and an explosive follicular hyperplasia with a striking destruction of the dendritic reticulum cell framework. This latter finding, together with the high levels of serum IgG and the presence of preactivated B cells in the blood, seems to be consistent with the presence of an in vivo polyclonal B cell activation. A high incidence of anti-HTLV III antibodies was also found in the PGL drug addicts. The significance of these findings is discussed in this report.

The poor mitogen response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) of lymphocytes from three patients with cell-mediated immunodeficiencies was restored to normal when supernatants containing interleukin 2 (IL-2) were added. One of three children with severe combined immunodeficiency also showed a partial response. There was no improvement in the normal mitogenic response of the lymphocytes from patients with either the X linked or common variable forms of hypogammaglobulinaemia. All three patients with cell-mediated immunodeficiencies showed gross imbalance in the ratio of helper/inducer (OKT4+) to suppressor/cytotoxic (OKT8+) T cells. The PHA stimulated culture supernatant from one of these patients failed to induce proliferation of a cytolytic continuous T cell line. Our data suggests that the underlying defect in these patients may be a failure in production of interleukins but not in the acquisition of IL-2 receptors.

A pig thymus factor is shown to transform in vitro human immature lymphoid cells (from cord blood, bone marrow and foetal tissue) into mature T lymphocytes forming spontaneous rosettes with sheep erythrocytes. No effect was observed on normal mature lymphocytes (T or B cells), suggesting a selective activity of the thymus factor for precursor T lymphocytes.
