Monitoring HIV-1 Patients in Baoding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Baoding People's Hospital is the designated hospital of ART and takes charge of anti-HIV therapy of all HIV-1-infected individuals in Baoding city. In this study, a total of 131 HIV-1-infected individuals were recruited in Baoding City before starting ART from January 2020 to December 2021. Their blood samples were collected in Baoding People's Hospital, and written informed consent was obtained from all subjects before blood collection. The baseline demographic characteristics were investigated using face-to-face interviews when we collected subjects’ blood samples. CD4+ T cell counts were determined using the BD FACSCount system (Becton Dickenson, CA, United States). Plasma HIV RNA levels were quantitatively tested using the Ampliform HIV-1 Monitor Test, version 1.5 (Roche, Cobas AmpliPrep/TaqMan 48, Switzerland). The detection limit threshold was <20 copies/ml.

Comprehensive Bone Turnover and HIV Evaluation

All laboratory testing was performed in the Clinical Laboratory Department of PUMCH. BTMs tested included the bone resorption marker, C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type-1 collagen (CTX), and bone formation marker, procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP). 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD), intact PTH (iPTH) and phosphorus were assayed as additional indicators of bone homeostasis. CTX, P1NP, 25OHD, and iPTH were assayed by an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (MODULAR ANALYTICS E170, cobase 601, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Phosphorus was assessed using a molybdate-based method (Beckman Coulter AU5800 Chemistry Analyzer, Beckman Coulter Inc., Brea CA, USA).
Plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load was measured by the COBAS Ampliprep/TaqMan 48 according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Roche Molecular Systems, Pleasanton, CA, USA; reference range 40–1,000,000 copies/mL). CD4+ T cell count was determined by 3-color flow cytometry (Epics XL flow cytometer, Beckman Coulter, USA). Freshly collected EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood was incubated with a panel of fluorescence-labeled monoclonal antibodies and isotype controls (FITC-CD4/PE-CD8/PE-Cy5-CD3, FITC-IgG1/PE-IgG1/PE-Cy5-IgG1). Cell number was acquired by flow cytometer after red blood cell lysis.

Plasma DBP was measured using the Quantikine Human DBP enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN). The bone resorption marker, C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type-1 collagen (CTX), and bone formation marker, total procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), 25OHD, and iPTH were assayed by an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (cobas e 601, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Phosphorus was assessed using a molybdate-based method (Beckman Coulter AU5800 Chemistry Analyzer, Beckman Coulter Inc., Brea, CA, USA). Plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load was measured by the COBAS Ampliprep/TaqMan 48 (Roche Molecular Systems, Pleasanton, CA, USA). CD4+ T cell count was determined by 3-color flow cytometry (Epics XL flow cytometer, Beckman Coulter, USA).

The HIV-1 viral load in plasma samples from infected individuals was determined with a COBAS Ampliprep/TaqMan48 real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) Test (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The lower detection limit of the assay was 50 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml.

Blood samples were collected to establish CD4 counts (PIMA platform; Alere, Waltham, MA), and HIV viral load (COBAS Ampliprep/Taqman 48; Roche, Pleasanton, CA). Induced sputum samples were collected using nebulized hypertonic saline. Samples were examined by Ziehl-Neelson stain microscopy and a single mycobacterial culture was performed on Lowenstein-Jensen media.

Quantifying Viral Loads and Liver Fibrosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma HIV RNA, HBV DNA and HCV RNA levels were quantified by the COBAS AmpliPrep/TaqMan48 real-time PCR system (Roche Molecular Systems, Pleasanton, CA, USA) in the Central Laboratory at PUMCH. Plasma samples were separated from whole blood by centrifugation within 4 h of collection and stored at −80°C until tested. The linear range of HIV RNA, HBV DNA and HCV RNA were 40–1,000,000 copies/mL (1.60–6.00 log10 copies/mL), 20–170,000,000 IU/mL (1.30–8.23 log10 IU/mL) and 15–100,000,000 IU/mL (1.18–8.0 log10 IU/mL), respectively.
Two non-invasive markers, AST-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) [19 ] and the fibrosis-4 score (FIB4) [20 ], were used to evaluate the liver fibrosis of study participants. APRI was calculated according to Wai et al. [19 ]: (actual AST value divided by its upper normal limit considered as 40 U/L)/platelet counts (109/L)×100. FIB4 score was calculated according to Sterling et al. [20 ]: [age (years)×AST (U/L)]/[platelets (109/L)×(ALT U/L)1/2].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
