Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the severity of injection site reactions (ISRs), patient quality of life (QoL) and preference when enfuvirtide is administered by the Biojector (Bioject, Medical Technologies, Inc., Tualatin, OR, USA) relative to standard needles. METHODS A total of 201 HIV-positive patients on stable enfuvirtide-based therapy (n=184) or initiating such therapy (n=17) were evaluated prospectively after switching from standard needles to the Biojector system. Patients used needles for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to switching to the Biojector. Questionnaires to assess the incidence and severity of ISRs (31-item score) and QoL [Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV)] were administered at baseline and following a minimum of 14 days of Biojector use. RESULTS The median changes in ISR score and number of ISRs following a median of 1.0 month [interquartile range (IQR) 0.9, 1.3] of Biojector use were -3 (IQR -7, 1) and -1 (IQR -3, 1), respectively. The severity of pain (P<0.0001), induration (P<0.0001), pruritus (P<0.0001), nodules (P<0.0001) and erythema (P<0.0001) all decreased with the Biojector. Administration of enfuvirtide with the Biojector was associated with an improved patient QoL (P<0.0001), and was preferred by 72% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Compared with needles, the Biojector was associated with a decreased severity of ISRs and improved QoL in patients taking enfuvirtide.

Abstract
Although coinfection with hepatitis C (HCV) is an established risk factor for hepatotoxicity in HIV-positive patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), specific variables that may be predictive of severe hepatotoxicity among co-infected patients receiving cART remain poorly defined. A retrospective cohort study of HIV/HCV coinfected adults from two HIV treatment centers covering the period between December 1998 and December 2003 was conducted to address this question. The primary endpoint of the study was the occurrence of grade 3 or 4 elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) during follow-up and the primary predictors of interest were specific antiretrovirals. One hundred five coinfected patients receiving cART for a median of 70 months (interquartile range [IQR], 37, 83) were included in the analysis. Twenty-three (22%) patients developed a grade 3 or 4 increase in serum ALT at least once in follow-up. In univariate analysis, current receipt of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) (odds ratio [OR] 3.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-8.34, p = 0.03), baseline ALT (OR 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.02, p = 0.004), and current use of boosting ritonavir (OR 2.84, 95% CI 1.16-7.00, p = 0.02) were significantly associated with a grade 3 or 4 increase in serum ALT, although most patients receiving boosting ritonavir were on lopinavir/ritonavir based regimens. Patients receiving LPV/r had been previously exposed to significantly more antiretrovirals (p < 0.0001), protease inhibitors (p < 0.0001), and nucleoside analogues (p = 0.0009) compared to the rest of the cohort. Further research to better clarify risk factors for hepatotoxicity in coinfected patients is warranted given the challenges in treating this population.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Since dendritic cells (DCs) constitute only 0.1-0.5% of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and generation of DCs from monocytes or stem cells is difficult and expensive, we choose B-lymphocytes as an alternative, cost-effective source of antigen presenting cells (APC). AIM To induce specific CTLs response ex vivo by CD40L activated B-cells (CD40-B) transfected with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) total RNA. METHODS To induce CD40-B PBMCs of patients with HCC were isolated by Ficoll technique and cultured in RMPI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), sCD40L (2 microg/ml), recombinant human interleukin-4 (IL-4) (4 ng/ml). The expression of CD80 and CD86 was evaluated by flow cytometry. The level of interleukin-12 (IL-12) produced by cultured B-lymphocytes was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). HCC patient's T-lymphocytes were obtained from PBMCs cultured in RMPI 1640 supplemented with 10% FCS, 2 ng/mL IL-4 and 10 ng/ml IL-7. CD40-B transfected with tumor total RNA isolated from HCC cells were used to induce specific CTL proliferation. The level of IFN-gamma was measured using ELISA and the expression of CD8 was determined by FCAS. Specific cytotoxicity was measured using MTT method. RESULTS The results show that the activated B-lymphocytes were easily expandable and formed large clones, and a high expression of CD80/CD86 and a high IL-12 secretion by CD40-B was registered. CD40-B transfected with tumor total RNA can induce CTLs to express CD8 and generate IFN-gamma at high levels. Compared to the control group, the specific cytotoxicity of CTLs was up-regulated. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate that CD40-B-cells electroporated with total RNA derived from carcinoma cells can be used as alternative APC for the induction of antigen-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses, which might be used in HCC immunotherapy.
