1. On HIV-1 infection in the central nervous system
Sammanfattning : HIV-1 (hereafter referred to as HIV) is a neurotropic virus that invades the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is then susceptible to an acute infection and later to CNS opportunistic diseases and AIDS dementia complex (ADC). HIV does not infect the neurons, and neuropathogenesis is largely mediated by the immune system. LÄS MER
2. HIV-1 infection of the central nervous system. Markers of pathogenesis and antiretroviral treatment effects
Sammanfattning : Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) invades the central nervous system (CNS) early in the course of infection and either directly or through opportunistic infections causes a spectrum of neurological complications. The most severe manifestation of HIV-1 CNS infection is AIDS Dementia Complex (ADC), which occurs in approximately 20% of untreated patients with AIDS. LÄS MER
3. On cerebrospinal fluid markers of HIV-1 infection
Sammanfattning : HIV-1 infects the central nervous system early in the course of infection and neurological complications are common in HIV-1-infected individuals. Approximately 20% of individuals with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) not treated with antiretroviral therapy develop a subcortical dementia, AIDS dementia complex (ADC). LÄS MER
4. Apolipoprotein E and cholinergic enzymes : the interface in dementia
Sammanfattning : The main confirmed genetic risk factor for sporadic form of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ε4 allele (APOE4). ApoE protein aids in receptor ligand mediated transport, distribution and metabolism of fatty acids and cholesterol. LÄS MER
