BACKGROUND: To assess a possible role of systemic inflammation in the resting metabolic response in AIDS patients with active secondary infections. METHODS: Fifty-two patients with AIDS-defined criteria and concomitant active infections and 19 healthy subjects were studied. Measurements were as follows: body composition assessed by bioelectrical impedance; resting energy expenditure (REE) by 30-minute indirect calorimetry; cytokine concentrations (IL-6, IFNalpha, TNFalpha, sTNF-R1) by ELISA; C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fibrinogen, and nutritional parameters by standard techniques. RESULTS: REE adjusted for fat-free mass (REEFFM) was significantly increased in AIDS patients despite 39% of them not being hypermetabolic. The patients were undernourished and were found to have increased levels of acute-phase proteins and increased concentrations of IL-6 and sTNF-R1 relative to controls. REE parameters were positively related to CRP, ESR, ferritin, IL-6, and sTNF-R1 and negatively related to albumin, prealbumin, and transferrin. CRP was an independent predictor of REEFFM in AIDS patients and explained 25% of its variability. Patients with severe inflammation (CRP > or = 37 mg/dL) were significantly hypermetabolic with respect to patients without inflammation (CRP < 6 mg/dL) and had higher levels of IL-6 and sTNF-R1 and lower levels of albumin and prealbumin. Although no significant differences were observed with respect to the infection type, patients with tuberculosis and Pneumocystis carinii infections had higher resting metabolic and inflammatory responses, whereas patients with recurrent bacterial pneumonia were normometabolic and had lower levels of inflammatory markers. CONCLUSIONS: Resting hypermetabolism observed in AIDS patients with concurrent active infections is related to the presence and severity of systemic cytokine-driven inflammatory response, which could reflect the type of secondary infection.

Differences in pleural fluid characteristics, white cell count and biochemistry of tuberculous and malignant pleural effusions.

Liam CK, Lim KH, Wong CM.

Department of Medicine, University of Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur.

Tuberculosis and malignancy are two common causes of exudative pleural effusions. In this retrospective study of 52 patients with tuberculous pleural effusions and 32 patients with malignant effusions, the median age of patients with malignant effusions (68.5 years) was older than that of patients with tuberculous effusions (34.5 years) (p < 0.001). Both types of effusion occurred more frequently on the right side and there was no difference between them in terms of right-sided dominance. A higher percentage of patients with malignant pleural effusions (44%) presented with large effusions than patients with tuberculous effusions (12%) (x2 = 11.33, p = 0.001). A higher proportion of patients with tuberculous effusion had lymphocyte predominant effusions and tuberculous effusions had higher lymphocyte percentage, lower red cell count, and higher protein content. However, there was considerable overlap of these characteristics of both types of effusions.

Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells can contribute to protective immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, although the extent to which and mechanisms by which they could actually protect against human tuberculosis remain unclear. We have previously reported that Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD)-positive children, either healthy or affected by different clinical forms of tuberculosis, strongly proliferate to different phosphoantigens in vitro, whereas Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from PPD-negative healthy subjects proliferate very poorly. We report here that Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from tuberculous children have an increased proliferative activity, but decreased interferon (IFN)-gamma production and granulysin expression. After successful chemotherapy, the Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cell proliferative response strongly decreased, whereas IFN-gamma and granulysin production consistently increased. Disease-associated changes in Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cell effector functions in patients with tuberculosis are consistent with the possibility that these T cells may play a protective role in immune response against M. tuberculosis infection.

Tuberculosis continues to be one of the predominant infectious diseases. Effective control of its spread requires that sources of infection and routes of transmission be disclosed as quickly as possible. At present such investigations are still performed by conventional epidemiological methods. In the recent past, however, molecular typing systems were added to the spectrum of epidemiological tools. Unfortunately, they were applied to retrospective investigations rather than used as an aid in the health care system. In this study, 515 Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated during 1997 and 1998 in Vienna were analysed by spoligotyping, a molecular technique requiring no further cultivation of mycobacteria. The study was aimed to assess the suitability of the method as a quick means of disclosing new cases. Thus, clusters obtained by spoligotyping were analysed along with demographic and epidemiological data and compared with clusters obtained by conventional epidemiological techniques alone. In addition, spoligotype-forming clusters were matched with an international database containing spoligotypes from four different studies. Of 515 isolates, 107 showed an unique pattern. The remaining 408 isolates were distributed into two large clusters of 82 and 73 isolates and into 49 smaller ones consisting of 2 to 33 isolates each. The two spoligotypes forming the large clusters were identical with the most prevalent spoligotypes in the world. Therefore, for the tuberculosis authorities, information was only gained by excluding rather than tracing possible ways of transmission. Twenty-two of the 49 spoligotypes forming smaller clusters were identical with strains found in other parts of the world. Seventeen of 22 infection chains assumed by conventional investigations were confirmed by spoligotyping. In small clusters, an additional 24 infections were assumed due to similarities such as living conditions or socioeconomic status. In 27 clusters, all patients sharing the same strain belong to the same country or geographical area. In conclusion, spoligotyping proved suitable as an early guide in conventional investigations to trace routes of M. tuberculosis transmission in a community. However, when a strain isolated from a patient belongs to a spoligotype shared by many isolates, a second molecular typing method is required.

Susceptibility testing for mycobacteria.

Woods GL.

University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX 77555-0740, USA. gwoodtmb.edu

Mycobacterial susceptibility testing is important for the management of patients with tuberculosis and those with disease caused by certain nontuberculous mycobacteria. To help standardize methods used in the clinical microbiology laboratory for testing susceptibility of mycobacteria, the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) recently updated NCCLS document M24-T (published in 1995), which is the tentative standard for antimycobacterial susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The second edition of the NCCLS tentative standard (document M24-T2) differs considerably from the initial document. It contains revised guidelines for the testing of M. tuberculosis complex and newly proposed guidelines for the testing of some nontuberculous mycobacteria, including the rapidly growing mycobacteria (Mycobacterium fortuitum group, Mycobacterium chelonae, and Mycobacterium abscessus), Mycobacterium avium complex, Mycobacterium kansasii, and Mycobacterium marinum, as well as Nocardia species and other aerobic actinomycetes. The recommendations for mycobacterial susceptibility testing that are outlined in NCCLS document M24-T2 are reviewed.

Natural Herbal Supplement: Hair Million

Hair Loss, or alopecia is a concern for increasing number of folks in aging society. Loss of hair is a visible problem, and affects the appearance and changes identity of a person.
The phenomenon of hair thinning and hair loss is most commonly associated with natural aging, although there are many other causes of hair loss, which include inherited or genetic conditions, illnesses, malnutrition, stress, hormonal problems, chemotherapy, and use of some drugs.
Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which has not yet been completely understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the heterogeneity in the underlying cause, there is no perfect cure for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.

Hair Million is an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a fraction of people who take it. We do not know the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. We only know by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. However, there are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula:
Firstly, Hair Million is rather inexpensive, and secondly, it is made of well known herbs that are safe when consumed in regular quantities.

DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
