The frequencies of HLA antigens in 33 HIV seronegative and in 88 HIV seropositive haemophiliacs, who have been followed for at least 6 years since seroconversion or first HIV positive test. were evaluated in relation to disease susceptibility and disease progression. A high frequency of HLA-A2 and -DR2 antigens and a low frequency of HLA-A9 were found to characterize HIV seropositive patients (p<0.05). Progressors to symptomatic CDC stage IV had a higher frequency of HLA-A9 (p<0.01) and DR3. Rapid decline of CD4+ T cells in these patients was associated with HLA-A9, -DR I and DR3. Our data suggest that HLA antigens may contribute to susceptibility to HIV infection and disease progression in Greek haemophiliacs.

It has been reported that explants of human fetal intestine can be maintained in culture for up to 21 days in a viable condition and that these organ cultures support the growth of a variety of known viral agents responsible for enteric disease. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been undertaken on several series of these explants to determine their appearance under routine culture conditions.Fresh specimens of jejunum obtained from normal human fetuses were washed, dissected into l-4mm pieces, and cultured in modified Leibowitz L-15 medium at 34° C as previously described. Serial specimens were fixed each day in 3% glutaraldehyde for 90 minutes at room temperature, rinsed, dehydrated, and dried by the CO2 critical point method in a Denton DCP-1 device. Specimens were attached to aluminum stubs with 3M transfer tape No. 465, and one sample on each stub was carefully rolled along the adhesive such that villi were broken off to expose their interiors.

Zusammenfassung. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Wirkungen eines Sportprogramms mit denen einer psychotherapeutischen Intervention auf verschiedene physiologische und psychosoziale Variablen HIV-1 positiver Menschen verglichen. Das Studiendesign folgt einem varianzanalytischen Messplan mit drei Gruppen (Sport-, Psychotherapie- und Kontrollgruppe) und zwei Messzeitpunkten. An der Studie nahmen 53 HIV-positive Personen, davon 19 in der Sport-, 20 in der Psychotherapie- und 14 in der Kontrollgruppe teil. Während sich eine Verbesserung der “gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität“ in der Sport- und in der psychotherapeutischen Gruppe ergab, verschlechterten sich diese Werte bei der Kontrollgruppe. In den drei Gruppen wurden dagegen keine signifikanten Unterschiede bei den Kontrollüberzeugungen, Bewältigungsstrategien und Immunparametern festgestellt. Schließlich wurde eine signifikante Verbesserung leistungsphysiologischer Parameter nach der Sportintervention konstatiert. Die Ergebnisse stützen die Hypothese, dass beide Interventionsprogramme die gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität HIV-1 positiver Menschen positiv beeinflussen.
