Neutralizing antibodies are recognized to be one of the essential elements of the adaptive immune response that must be induced by an effective vaccine against HIV. However, only a limited number of antibodies have been identified to neutralize a broad range of primary isolates of HIV-1 and attempts to induce such antibodies by immunization were unsuccessful. The difficulties to generate such antibodies are mainly due to intrinsic properties of HIV-1 envelope spikes, such as high sequence diversity, heavy glycosylation, and inducible and transient nature of certain epitopes. In vitro neutralizing antibodies are identified using "conventional" neutralization assay which uses phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated human PBMCs as target cells. Thus, in essence the assay evaluates HIV-1 replication in CD4+ T cells. Recently, several laboratories including us demonstrated that some monoclonal antibodies and HIV-1-specific polyclonal IgG purified from patient sera, although they do not have neutralizing activity when tested by the "conventional" neutralization assay, do exhibit potent and broad neutralizing activity in "unconventional" ways. The neutralizing activity of these antibodies and IgG fractions is acquired through post-translational modifications, through opsonization of virus particles into macrophages and immature dendritic cells (iDCs), or through expression of antibodies on the surface of HIV-1-susceptible cells. This review will focus on recent findings of this area and point out their potential applications in the development of preventive strategies against HIV.

BACKGROUND:There are many methods for dental impression disinfection, including ultraviolet disinfection method, spraying, immerses disinfection method, argon plasma jet and radio frequency glow discharge on the argon gas ionization disinfection method. At present, there is stil lack of studies addressing the disinfection effect after gargling with mouthwash.
OBJECTIVE:To detect the kil ing effect on bacteria and fungi from the dental impressions, which are taken after gargling with cetylpyridinium chloride gargle and stable chlorine dioxide gargle, respectively.
METHODS:One hundred patients were randomly divided into cetylpyridinium chloride gargle group and stable chlorine dioxide gargle group. They were told to gargle with clean water for 1 minute, and then impressions were taken to remove the models with sterile cotton swab sampling in neutralizing agent which were sent to laboratory for bacteria and fungi culture. After 1 hour, the patients were asked to gargle with the different mouthwashes for 1 minute again, and then sterile cotton swab sampling was done at the same position for bacteria and fungi culture. The number of colonies was recorded, and the kil ing effects on kil ing bacteria and fungi on the surface of the impressions before and after gargling with different mouthwashes were observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of bacteria and fungi before gargal had no significance difference before gargling. After gargling, the number of bacteria and fungi on the model was significantly lower than before (P<0.001). Two groups did not appear with any adverse reactions, and patients felt refreshed and comfortable after gargling with mouthwash. To gargle with mouthwash before taking impressions can control the number of bacteria and fungi on the samples effectively, thereby achieving the aim of control ing the mutual infections between the doctor and the patients effectively.

BACKGROUND:With the development of technology,electromagnetic irradiation has been applied in many fields;meanwhile,health of people could be threatened by electromagnetic exposure.Reproductive system of males is the major target of electromagnetic irradiation.But under the condition of electromagnetic exposure,the change of testosterone and its mechanism remain unknown. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of electromagnetic irradiation on steroidogenic acute regulatory protein(StAR) and cytochrome P450 cholesterol side-chain cleavage(P450scc) in the tissues of the testis of the adult rats,and to preliminarily reveal the molecular mechanism of electromagnetic radiation that affects the synthesis of testosterone. DESIGN:A randomized controlled study. SETTING:Department of Nuclear Medicine and Staff Room of Labour Hygiene, Institute of Field Surgery,Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. PARTICIPANTS:The study was completed in the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Staff Room of Labour Hygiene, Institute of Field Surgery,Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from June 2003 to May 2004.A total of 75 male Wistar rats of clean degree II,weighing 180 to 220 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group,and groups of 3,6,24,72 hours after electromagnetic irradiation with 15 rats in each group. INTERVENTIONS:The rats were exposed to microwave with the peak power of 90 W/cm2 for 15 minutes successively,and all the rats survived the irradiation.The serum contents of testosterone of rats in the groups of 3,6,24,72 hours after electromagnetic irradiation and control group were measured by using radioimmunoassay(RIA) respectively;meanwhile the levels of the StAR and P450scc mRNA in testis tissue were also determined with RT-PCR. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Serum contents of testosterone in the groups of 3,6,24,72 hours after electromagnetic irradiation and control group;the expression levels of the StAR and P450scc mRNA in testis tissues. RESULTS:The serum contents of testosterone,the StAR and P450scc mRNA levels at the point of 3 hours after electromagnetic irradiation were significantly lower than those in the control group,and they were decreased by 83.1% ,57.3% and 53.6% respectively(P< 0.01).At the point of 6 hours, although those were increased a little, but were still obviously lower than those of the control group, and they were decreased by 52.6%, 17.9% and 29.2% respectively(P< 0.01,0.05) compared with the control group, and were recovered to the normal level at the point of 24 hours, but the contents of testosterone, the StAR and P450scc mRNA levels were significantly reduced again after 72 hours, and they were decreased by 57.6% , 39.5% , 53.5% respectively compared with those in the control group(P< 0.01). CONCLUSION:Electromagnetic irradiation can affect the expression of StAR and P450scc mRNA in the Leydig's cells of the adult rats, thereby decreasing the synthesis of testosterone.
