HIVNET 024: Placental histology and mother to child transmission (MTCT) of HIV

(MTCT) OF HIV ROBERT GOLDENBERG, VICTOR MUDENDA, TAHA TAHA, IRVING HOFFMAN, WAFAIE FAWZI, ELIZABETH BROWN, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Birmingham, Alabama, University Teaching Hospital, Pathology, Lusaka, Zambia, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington OBJECTIVE: Studies performed prior to the use of antivirals have shown a relationship between histologic chorioamnionitis, (neutrophilic infiltrates in the chorioamnion) and MTCT of HIV. A recent publication describing nevirapine-treated women suggests MTCT of HIV is related to mononuclear, but not neutrophilic infiltration. STUDY DESIGN: During a trial of the use of antibiotics to reduce MTCT of HIV in 2098 HIV-infected nevirapine-treated women, we evaluated the relationship between neutrophilic and mononuclear infiltration of the decidual basalis, the chorioamnion and the umbilical cord, and MTCT of HIV. Marked infiltration was compared to none/slight. A single pathologist who had no clinical information at the time of the evaluation performed the histologic evaluation. Infant HIV infection was determined by PCR at birth and at 6 weeks. RESULTS: The rate of MTCT of HIV at birth was 7.3%, between birth and 4-6 weeks 7.5%, and total perinatal MTCT, 15.2%. (In the pre-nevirapine studies, the total MTCT rate was 25-30%.) Marked neutrophilic and mononuclear infiltration into the membranes (29% and 35%) and decidua (19% and 44%) were common in HIV-infected women. Neither marked neutrophilic nor mononuclear infiltration at any site was associated with infant HIV status at birth, with developing an HIV infection between birth and 6 weeks, or with infant HIV status at 6 weeks. For example, marked neutrophilic membrane infiltration vs none/slight was not associated with infant HIV status at birth (8.7 vs 7.3%, p=NS), the development of HIV between birth and 6 weeks (7.8 vs 6.7%, p=NS) or with HIV status at 6 weeks (15.3 vs 14.5%, p=NS). CONCLUSION: Despite previous reports of an association between chorioamnionitis and MTCT of HIV, this large study demonstrated no association between either neutrophilic or mononuclear inflammation at any site and MTCT of HIV. We hypothesize that the use of nevirapine in this, as opposed to many earlier studies, reduced the portion of MTCT of HIV associated with chorioamnionitis.

Margaret Newton: Pioneering Cereal Rust Researcher.

Margaret Newton, the daughter of Elizabeth Brown and John Newton, was born on April 20, 1887 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Her father had been educated as a chemist in England, and worked as a laborer on the farm of his father-in-law at Plaisance, Quebec. Margaret’s education began in a one-room schoolhouse at North Nation Mills. Her father later moved the family of five children -Margaret, Robert, John, William, and Dorothy (four were to obtain Ph.D. degrees in agriculture) -and his wife (Fig. 1) to Montreal for a higher paying job at a box manufacturing and lumber firm. Margaret finished middle school and completed two years of high school in Montreal. She finished high school in Plaisance after the family returned there to live. After two additional years at a country school, Margaret taught for one year in the same schoolhouse that she had attended in North Nation Mills. Margaret was not yet fully qualified as a teacher, so she studied for two years at the Collegiate Institute in Vankleek Hill, Ontario, and obtained a teaching degree from the Normal School in Toronto. She taught for three years in Lachine, Quebec, and returned to teach for one year at the school in North Nation Mills. During her teaching stints, Margaret became interested in obtaining a university degree. She initially enrolled in an arts program at McMaster University. During her first year at McMaster she visited her brother who was attending Macdonald College, at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, which was the faculty of agriculture of McGill University. Margaret decided to change her field of study, and in 1914 applied for admittance to Macdonald College, with a major in agriculture. She was not immediately accepted, although her academic credentials were excellent. The most likely reason for this Margaret Newton (Photo courtesy Agriculture and AgriFood Canada Cereal Research Center, Winnipeg).

Aïeule et tradition sacrée dans le théâtre afro-américain

This article attempts to unearth those elements which bind the character of the Old Woman, more than that of any other figure in African-American theater, to the half-human, half-divine mythical Trickster. The essay examines the Old Woman's flair, her ambivalent personality, her mastery of language, exageration and humour and, above all, her eagerness to lead others into situations of conflict. It is based on plays by Georgia D. Johnson, Marita Bonner, Louis Feterson, Abram Hill, Theodore ward, Loften Mitchell, Lorraine Hansberry, Ted Shine, Gayl Jones, Dianne Houston, Leslie Lee, Robert Alexander, Elizabeth Brown Guillory and August Wilson.
