Research: HIV unaware of many of the scams vaanimassa, Bisexual Men Gay

1 in 5 Sexually active gay and bisexual men in America, is HIV-positive but that 44% of them do not know it, Show the most recent information. A fifth of all sexually active gay men in the U.s. are HIV-positive, to combat and prevent disease (CDC), and a staggering 44 percent of centers have been unaware of it.

CDC researchers concluded that 21 American cities of more than 8000 is gay and bisexual men, after testing.

Racial differences

White gay and bisexual men between the ages of 30 and 39, was found to be the absolute most infections, even though the amount of per capita (16%) was lower than that of a black and a gay and bisexual men in Latin. The number of Black HIV infections had the highest per capita, 28%. Gay and bisexual young Hispanic men and the number of infections was 18%.

Nearly half of HIV-positive men (44%) did not know they were infected. Young gay and bisexual men of color were the least likely to be aware of their infection.

Socio-economic factors

Researchers found the socio-economic situation and the link between HIV and gay bisexual males. Higher levels of education and income were less likely to be infected and they were more likely to know their status.

HIV infection among gay and bisexual men, the highest it came to Baltimore, 39%, the researchers found. Atlanta was the lowest, only 6% of the announced. Greater than 25% of the total number of infections found in Baltimore, Dallas, Houston, Miami and New York.

Bisexual men had received the highest speed is likely to become infected with HIV appear to the end user, the number of factors such as sexual partners. Heterosexual men, compared to the number of HIV-infection found 44 times higher.

The relaxed attitude

Because the drugs developed to successfully manage HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV), AIDS, and many persons have survived for decades, the idea has grown that HIV-positive diagnosis does not longer was once thought to be the abolition of the death penalty. However, more employees die as a result of HIV and AIDS each year in the US--irtiotto statistics.

The fact that so many HIV-positive people unaware of their condition underscores aggressive testing programs and continuing education about this disease and the need for a horrible.

Gene research obstacles in cancer cell growth

It is well established that cancer cells feed on blood sugar, but it is not only the nutrient they require. Another important source of energy is Glutamine and new cancer research, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers ' studies and online journal nature, shows how the promotion of cancer gene, called the "Myc" directs its use.

The findings could offer a new approach towards the cancer.

The research team will explore how the Myc genes contribute to the growth of the cancer when it is actually surprising discovery: gene increases cancer cells, the use of Glutamine, Chi v. Dang, MD, PhD, Professor, Johns Hopkins, onkologian.

Experts joined the group in the effort of the protein for proteins, which corresponded to the Myc Cancer Researchers examined human. Myc genes in cells on or off, and eight of the proteins found in mitochondria, which are displayed in the cell, in response to a separate gene.

One of the proteins, which corresponded to the Myc gene glutaminase (GLS) supports cellular energy production. Cancer growth slowed significantly, when researchers removed the GLS.

On the basis of a previous investigation, Myc genes were found in the group is not influenced by GLS directly, but rather affects the Hematology Johns Hopkins, Associate Broker-"something that in turn controls GLS," according to Ping Gao, PhD, research.

That "something" turned out to be some of the microRNAs, small RNA that can bind to bits, and prevent the RNAs, which include instructions for making proteins. Two of microRNAs is called "miR23a" and "miR23b" link in the Myc GLS expression.

The researchers intend to continue their exploration of research mice to see if a GLS may interfere with the growth of cancer.

"If we know how the cancer cells from normal cells, how they can make use of energy and nutrients, we can identify new pathways for designing drugs that target the less side effects," said the Gao.
