15、was in another city the next day and I hail lunch with a【 B3】 _who practically owned the town. He was chairman of the gas and light company, president of live【 B4】_companies, and had his hand in a dozen other【 B5】 _. I asked him how he【 B6】 _to get everything done. “Oh, thats easy,“ he said. “I keep

During the day he would【 B8】 _items and add others as they occurred to him. In the evening he would check to see how many of the items he ha

But the disease is spreading in every region, with fierce epidemics threatening to tear through countries such a

25、s India, China, Russia and the islands of the Caribbean. The statistics are sobering in some Southern African towns 44% of pregnant women are HIV positive, in Botswana 37% of people carry the virus. CThe human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)is a retrovirus a virus built of RNA instead of more typical DN

26、A. It attacks the very cells of the immune system that should be protecting the body against it T lymphocytes and other white blood cells with CD4 receptors on their surfaces. The virus uses the CD4 receptor to bind with and thereby enter the lymphocyte. HIV then integrates itself into the cells own

27、 DNA, turning the cell into a virus-generating factory. The new viruses break free, destroying the cell, then move on to attack other lymphocytes. DHIV kills by slowly destroying the immune system. Several weeks after initial infection, flu-like symptoms are experienced. Then the immune system kicks

28、-in, and the virus mostly retreats into hiding within lymph tissues. The untreated, infected individual usually remains healthy for 5 to 15 years, but the virus continues to replicate in the background, slowly obliterating the immune system. Eventually the body is unable to defend itself and succumb

29、s to overwhelming opportunistic infections that rarely affect healthy people. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome(AIDS)is the name given to this final stage of HIV infection, and is characterized by multiple, life-threatening illnesses such is weight loss, chronic diarrheoa, rare cancers, pneumonia,

30、 fungal conditions and infections of the brain and eye. Tuberculosis has become especially prevalent in AIDS victims. EGenetic analyses hint that ancestral primate HIV may have been born a million years ago when a chimpanzee virus hybridized(杂交 )with a related monkey variety. However researchers bel

31、ieve it was not until the 1930s that this jumped to humans eating chimp meat in Central Africa. That variety became HIV-1 the most widespread type. A second type, HIV-2, restricted to West Africa, was probably contracted in the 1960s from monkey meat. Another theory was that the AIDS pandemic was ac

32、cidentally started by doctors testing a polio vaccine in the 1950s detailed in Edward Hoopers book The River but this has been severely criticized by other researchers. FAIDS must have been circulating in the US and Africa during the 1970s. But it was not recognized until 1981 when young gay men and

33、 injecting drug users, in New York and California, started to be diagnosed with both an unusual skin cancer called Kaposis sarcoma, and lethal pneumonias. By the end of that year 121 people in the US had died that number would rise to 17,000 over the next six years. Government scientists predicted t

34、hat the mysterious immune-debilitating illness was due to an infectious agent. In 1984 that agent was identified as HIV by Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, and Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute in Washington DC, US. GSoon after the appearance of AIDS in the US, t

35、he disease was detected in Europe too and epidemics affecting heterosexual men and women sprang up at an alarming rate in Sub-Saharan Africa. Today one in five people in that region are living with the virus. AIDS epidemics also threaten to devastate the worlds most populous nations India and China

36、if action is not taken to bring them under control. HHIV is found in body fluids such as: blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk. It can be passed on through penetrative sex, oral sex and sharing contaminated needles when injecting street drugs or in hospitals. It can also be transmitted from

37、a mother to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding though many children escape infection. HIV cannot be passed on through kissing, coughing, mosquito bites or touching. IHealth authorities are focusing on prevention as a key method to limit the spread of the epidemic. Educational pro

38、grams preach abstinence from sex, monogamy and safer sex using condoms, as ways to protect against infection. Many countries give away free condoms and offer needle exchange programs to try and limit transmission among injecting drug users. Microbicides in the form of creams that prevent transmissio

39、n of HIV may soon offer another method of protection. JA vaccine, as an alternative method to prevent HIV infection, may still be many years away. This is partly because the virus mutates so rapidly. A vaccine may not only have to prime antibodies to attack the virus(the way most vaccines work)but m

40、ight also need to increase T-cell production. Vaccine trial; have been undertaken in South Africa, Kenya, the US and Thailand though most have yet to yield promising results. Controversial vaccines made from the blood of HIV carriers, have been tested is Nigeria and Thailand. KThere is no cure for A

41、IDS, but a range of drugs some of which have unpleasant side-effects are available to slow its progress. Other drugs are used to treat opportunistic infections or AIDS symptoms. Even some herbal treatments have been investigated. Most anti-HIV drugs aim at stalling viral replication. Nucleoside anal

42、ogues such as AZT(zidovudine)and also non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NNRTIs)(非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂 ), attack the action of the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase. This prevents it from creating functional DNA which would otherwise integrate into the DNA of infected cells. LA third class block

43、 protease, an enzyme essential for generating functional virus particles. Protease inhibitors are the most effective of the three types of drugs, and AIDS mortality fell dramatically in the US when they were first licensed during the late 1990s. Fusion inhibitors are a newer type of drug that work b

44、y stopping HIV from binding with CD4 receptors that it uses to enter cells. Drugs that block another enzyme, integrase(整合酶 ), are also under development. MAIDS drugs are often administered in combination cocktails of three or more kinds simultaneously, as this helps slow the rate at which HIV develo

45、ps resistance to drugs. But the virus is able to evolve rapidly and can eventually outpace the drugs if treatment regimens are not followed rigorously. Though drugs are widely available in Western countries, their expense means they are unavailable to the vast majority of AIDS sufferers. Internation

46、al bodies are working towards widening access to treatment in the developing world. Some companies in countries such as India and Thailand are now producing cheap generic copies of drugs. NThe economic and social burden of AIDS exerts a great toll on developing nations in addition to that exerted by

47、 mortality itself. AIDS is hindering development and leading to negative population growth in some of the most seriously affected nations, such as Botswana. OThis excessive AIDS mortality is causing a great demographic shift, wiping out young adults in the prime of their lives. This leaves children

48、orphaned, and is destroying workforces and economies. Some predict that 50 million children in Sub-Saharan Africa will have been orphaned by 2010. The labor forces of 38 AIDS ravaged countries will be up to 35% smaller by 2020, because of AIDS. PThe effect of AIDS on agricultural communities in Sout

49、hern Africa is even leading to food shortages. Social stigma and discrimination is yet another problem for many AIDS sufferers, especially in Asian nations. 47 HIV integrates into the DNA of infected cells turn the cell of the immune system into a virus-generating factory. 48 It will take many years to develop effective vaccines to prevent HIV infection, partly because the virus mutates so rap
