Biomarkers of monocyte‐macrophages activation and inflammation in plasma such as interleukin‐18 (IL‐18), soluble leukocyte differentiation antigen 14 (sCD14), and sCD163 are associated with disease severity and prognosis in HIV‐1 infected patients, however, their relationships with efficacy of antiretroviral therapy (ART) need further investigation. We aimed to characterize and explore the clinical...
Asymmetric plasmonic hierarchical nanostructures (HNs) are of great significance in optics, catalysis, and sensors, but the complex growth kinetics and lack of fine structure design limit their practical applications. Herein, a new atom absorption energy strategy is developed to achieve a series of Au–Ag HNs with the continuously tuned contact area in Janus and Ag island number/size on Au seeds. Different...
A route is developed for directly growing 2D Au polyhedron arrays with controllable exposed facets of polyhedron by utilizing the substrate‐supported 2D Au quasi‐spherical nanoparticle arrays as the Au seed arrays, which cannot be realized by traditional lithography. In the reaction system, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) plays a vital role in guiding the reduced Au atoms and stabilizing the substrate‐supported...
We studied the characteristics of immune activation and investigated the underlying mechanisms in patients with human immunodeficiency virus‐1/hepatitis B virus (HIV/HBV) coinfection after receiving HBV‐active antiretroviral therapy. Forty patients with HIV/HBV coinfection, 38 patients with HIV monoinfection and 20 healthy controls were enrolled. CD4+ count, HIV load, HBV load, markers of immune activation...
