DNA encoding an HIV-1 Gag/human lysosome-associated membrane protein-1 chimera elicits a broad cellular and humoral immune response in Rhesus macaques. by Priya Chikhlikar, Luciana Barros de Arruda, Milton Maciel, Peter Silvera, Mark G Lewis, J Thomas August, Ernesto T A Marques

“…In the present study, we have analyzed the magnitude and breadth of Gag-specific T-lymphocyte and antibody responses elicited in Rhesus macaques after immunization with DNA encoding a human LAMP/gag (hLAMP/gag) chimera. ELISPOT analyses indicated that the average Gag-specific IFN-gamma response elicited by the hLAMP/gag chimera was detectable after only two or three naked DNA immunizations in all five immunized macaques and reached an average of 1000 spot-forming cells (SFC)/10(6) PBMCs. …”

Cognitive shadows in perimenopause: linking subjective cognitive decline (SCD) to menopausal symptom severity by Ke Liu, Xue Lei, Laigang Zhao, Hangyu Yu, Dian Wang, Lin Yang

“…Linear relationships between MKI scores and SCD-Q9 scores were clarified using both univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. Additionally, a multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the association between MKI scores and SCD classification based on SCD-I criteria.Main Outcome Measures The primary outcomes were the Modified Kupperman Index scores, SCD-Q9 questionnaire scores, and the diagnosis of SCD based on SCD-I criteria.Results Among 101 participants, the average MKI score was 18.90 ± 9.74, and the average SCD-Q9 score was 4.57 ± 2.29. …”
