Acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)is a systemic disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV).Chemokine(C-C motif)ligand 3(CCL3),as a vital member of the chemokine family,plays an indispensable role in the pathogenesis of AIDS.In the context of AIDS,CCL3 exerts significant antiviral and immunomodulatory effects by preventing HIV entry into target cells,activating immune cells to enhance antiviral capabilities,and modulating inflammatory responses,thereby influencing disease progression.Numerous studies have demonstrated that CCL3 gene copy number,specific T-cell responses,CCL3 polymorphisms,and the signaling pathways it participates in all influence the development of HIV and viral load.This article comprehensively reviews the multifaceted roles of CCL3 in AIDS,including its ability to block HIV-1 entry into immune cells,inducing the expression of antiviral proteins to inhibit viral replication,as well as the influence of its polymorphisms and alleles on HIV infection and disease progression,aiming to provide novel theoretical support for AIDS prevention and treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of the functional dressing of Polygonum capitatum nanofibers (P-PVP-PCL). METHODS P-PVP-PCL were prepared by electrospinning technology, and the microstructure of P-PVP-PCL was observed. The antibacterial activity and antioxidant activity of P-PVP-PCL and its effects on the survival rate, adhesion and migration rate of mouse fibroblast L929 cells were investigated. The effects of medical gauze dressing, blank nanofiber dressing (PVP-PCL) and P- PVP-PCL on the healing rate of the wound were investigated by establishing the back skin wound model of rats. The pathological changes of the wound tissue and collagen fiber deposition were observed, as well as the number of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31) positive blood vessels and the expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) protein in wound tissue. RESULTS P-PVP-PCL had a smooth surface and a double-layer structure at the cross-section. The inhibition rates of P-PVP-PCL against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were (98.88±0.66)% and (94.75±1.41)% , respectively. The antioxidant activity of P-PVP-PCL was (83.69±1.56)%, and the cell activity of the P-PVP-PCL group was significantly higher than those of the control group and PVP-PCL group (P<0.05). Compared with medical gauze dressings, P-PVP-PCL was more conducive to L929 cell adhesion; at 48 hours, the cell scratches in this group had basically healed. Compared with the medical gauze dressing group, the wound healing rates of the PVP-PCL group and the P-PVP-PCL group were significantly increased (P<0.05). On the 14th day of intervention, the wounds in the P-PVP-PCL group had basically healed, there was no dermal necrosis in the wound tissue, and the collagen fibers were arranged relatively neatly and the density was relatively uniform. The number of CD31 positive blood vessels and the expression of TGF-β protein showed a downward trend compared with the 7th day of intervention, and the number of CD31 positive blood vessels was significantly lower than those of the medical gauze dressing group and PVP-PCL group (P<0.05), but the protein expression of TGF- β was significantly higher than those of the medical gauze dressing group and the PVP-PCL group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS P-PVP-PCL has good antibacterial and antioxidant activity in E-mail:444096585@qq.com vitro, and can promote the proliferation, adhesion and migration of L929 cells. It can promote wound healing of rats in vivo.
