Amantadine-Oseltamivir Combination therapy for H5N1 Influenza Virus Infection in Mice Tập 12 Số 3 - Trang 363-370 - 2007
Natalia A. Ilyushina, Erich Hoffmann, Rachelle Salomon, Robert G. Webster, Elena A. Govorkova
Background The clinical management of H5N1 influenza virus infection in humans
remains unclear. Combination chemotherapy with drugs that target different viral
proteins might be more effective than monotherapy. Methods BALB/c mice were
treated by oral gavage for 5 days with amantadine (1.5, 15 or 30 mg/kg/day) and
oseltamivir (1 or 10 mg/kg/day) separately or in combination. Mice were

Rates of Emergence of HIV Drug Resistance in Resource-Limited Settings: A Systematic Review Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 115-123 - 2013
Kathryn M. Stadeli, Douglas D. Richman
BackgroundThe increasing availability of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has
improved survival and quality of life for many infected with HIV, but can also
engender drug resistance. This review summarizes the available information on
drug resistance in adults in resource-limited settings.MethodsThe online
databases PubMed and Google Scholar, pertinent conference abstracts and

Background Antiviral drugs are an important option for managing infections
caused by influenza viruses. This study assessed the drug susceptibility of 2009
pandemic influenza A (H1N1) viruses collected globally between April 2009 and
January 2010. Methods Virus isolates were tested for adamantane susceptibility,
using pyrosequencing to detect the S31N marker of adamantane resistance in the

Investigation of Baseline Susceptibility to Protease Inhibitors in HIV-1 Subtypes C, F, G and Crf02_Ag Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 581-589 - 2006
Ana Abecasis, Koen Deforche, Lee T. Bacheler, Paula McKenna, Jonathan Schapiro, Perpétua Gómes, Anne‐Mieke Vandamme, Ricardo Camacho
Objective To compare baseline susceptibility to protease inhibitors among HIV-1
isolates of subtypes C, F, G and CRF02_AG, and to identify polymorphisms that
determine the differences in susceptibility. Methods A total of 42 samples of
drug-naive patients infected with subtypes G ( n=19), CRF02_AG ( n=10), F ( n=6)
and C ( n=7) were phenotyped and genotyped with the Antivirogram and the ViroSeq

HIV-1 Subtypes and Response to Combination Antiretroviral Therapy in Europe Tập 11 Số 6 - Trang 707-716 - 2006
Wendy Bannister, Lı́dia Ruiz, Clive Loveday, Stefano Vella, Kai Zilmer, Jesper Kjær, Brygida Knysz, Andrew Carr, Amanda Mocroft, Jens Lundgren
Background Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) may vary in ability to
suppress viral load and increase CD4+ T-cell count in people infected with
different HIV-1 subtypes, possibly due to differences in resistance development.
Antiretroviral drugs have predominantly been developed in Western Europe/North
America on the basis of the most prevalent subtype, B. However, non-B subtypes
are increa... hiện toàn bộ
Silymarin for HCV infection Tập 18 Số 2 - Trang 141-147 - 2013
Stephen J. Polyak, Nicholas H. Oberlies, Eve‐Isabelle Pécheur, Harel Dahari, Peter Ferenci, Jean‐Michel Pawlotsky
Silymarin, an extract of milk thistle seeds, and silymarin-derived compounds
have been considered hepatoprotective since the plant was first described in
ancient times. Hepatoprotection is defined as several non-mutually exclusive
biological activities including antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and
immunomodulatory functions. Despite clear evidence for silymarin-induced
hepatoprotection i... hiện toàn bộ

Rodriguez-Real, Julio Diz-Arén, Rafael Ojea de Castro, LE Morano, R Pérez-Rodríguez, José Manuel Torres
The objectives of this study are to describe the incidence of non-B and
recombinant HIV-1 strains in newly diagnosed HIV-1 infections in Galicia,
northwest of Spain, during a 2-year period (May 2000 to June 2002), and the
frequency of resistance-associated mutations in reverse transcriptase (RT) and
protease (PR) genes, analysing the polymorphisms more frequently detected in
non-B and recombinant ... hiện toàn bộ
Safety and Efficacy of Once-Daily Nevirapine Dosing: A Multicohort Study Tập 14 Số 7 - Trang 931-938 - 2009

in combination with a once daily nucleoside backbone. We investigated the
relationship of NVP dosing with safety and efficacy. Methods Patients from the

in HIV-1-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy
(HAART) using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and to study how both the
