Clinical presentations include asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment (ANI), mild neurocognitive impairment (MND), and HIV-associated dementia (HAD). In the era of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), the prevalence of HAD has significantly decreased, but the rates of ANI and MND have increased, impairing patients’ daily functioning, medical adherence, employment, driving abilities, risk of HIV transmission, overall quality of life, and posing challenges to society, economy, families, and public health. This article reviews the latest research findings regarding the pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis and treatment, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological assessment of HAND, aiming to provide insights into the prevention and management of HAND.展开更多

The gut microbiota contributes to metabolic diseases through intestinal mucosal dysfunction, chronic metabolic inflammatory response, gut brain axis imbalance, gene regulation, insulin resistance, and the action of its metabolites. The researches of cause effect relationship and mechanism are relatively few, need further study, expecting a breakthrough in the future to be a new path in the treatment of some metabolic diseases.展开更多
