A total of 693 HIV/AIDS patients were recruited in this retrospective and descriptive study during April 2003 to December 2004, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was found that both genders were shown to be within the same range of age (M = 18-79 vs F = 18-73), while a median age was slightly higher in male (36 years) than female (31 years). The majority of both genders were significantly shown in the age group of 25 to 34 years, but a higher rate was evident in females (42) (p = 0.001). It was even observed that male patients were mainly Chinese (44.7) and single (57.3) (p = 0.001), while the females were Chinese (40.6) and married (83.3) (p = 0.000). However, the highest numbers of both genders were manifested to be heterosexuals (M = 47.6 vs F = 86.2), followed by intravenous drug users (M = 39.3 vs F = 6.5) (p = 0.000). The range of CD4 cell count was 0 to 1799 with a median of 230 cells/mm3. The level of CD4 cell count of < 200 cells/mm3 was significantly found in males (48.5) and between 200 to 499 and �500 cells/mm3 were 36.2 and 26.8 in females, respectively (p = 0.001). Overall, the Toxoplasma seroprevalence was 43.85 where seropositive of anti-Toxoplasma antibody relatively higher in males (50) than in females (37.7) (p = 0.015). Toxoplasma seropositivity was thoroughly evident among Malays (168; 51.1), Intravenous Drug Users (IDUs) and patients with toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE) (p = 0.001). Furthermore, anti-retroviral therapy including HAART was more significantly found in patients with 9 seropositive Toxoplasma when compared to 2 seronegative and unknown serostatus patients (p = 0.025). Seventeen AIDS-related toxoplasmic encephalitis patients were diagnosed at the time of this study, depicting hemiparesis as the most common neurological manifestation in 11 (64.7) patients, followed by headache and seizure in 6 (35.3) and 3 (17.7) patients, respectively. Interestingly, CT scan finding showed mass like structure with multiple (58.8), ring enhancing lesions (100), in parietal region (58.8) and edema (29.4) in these patients. Overall, the treatment outcome showed that 13 (76.5) patients had completed treatment with maintenance, whereas, 3 (17.6) patients were lost to follow up and 1 (6) patient was transferred to another hospital. No relapse or death case was reported during the time of this study.
这项回顾性和描述性研究于2003年4月至2004年12月在马来西亚吉隆坡医院招募了693名艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者。研究发现，两种性别在相同的年龄范围内(M = 18-79 vs F = 18-73)，而男性的年龄中位数(36岁)略高于女性(31岁)。在25 ~ 34岁年龄组中，两种性别的发生率均显著高于女性(42)(p = 0.001)。男性患者以华人(44.7)、单身(57.3)为主(p = 0.001)，女性患者以华人(40.6)、已婚(83.3)为主(p = 0.000)。其中异性恋者最多(M = 47.6 vs F = 86.2)，静脉吸毒者次之(M = 39.3 vs F = 6.5) (p = 0.000)。CD4细胞计数范围为0 ~ 1799，中位数为230个细胞/mm3。男性CD4细胞计数< 200 cells/mm3(48.5)，女性在200 ~ 499和 500 cells/mm3之间分别为36.2和26.8 (p = 0.001)。总体而言，弓形虫血清阳性率为43.85，其中男性(50人)血清抗体阳性高于女性(37.7人)(p = 0.015)。弓形虫血清阳性在马来人中非常明显(168;51.1)、静脉吸毒者(IDUs)和弓形虫性脑炎(TE)患者(p = 0.001)。此外，9例血清弓形虫阳性患者与2例血清阴性和血清状态未知的患者相比，包括HAART在内的抗逆转录病毒治疗更为显著(p = 0.025)。17例艾滋病相关的弓形虫脑炎患者在本研究中被诊断出来，其中偏瘫是最常见的神经系统表现，11例(64.7例)，其次是头痛和癫痫，分别为6例(35.3例)和3例(17.7例)。有趣的是，这些患者的CT扫描表现为肿块样结构，多发(58.8)，环形强化病变(100)，顶骨区(58.8)和水肿(29.4)。总体而言，治疗结果显示13例(76.5)例患者完成了维持治疗，3例(17.6)例患者失访，1例(6)例患者转院。本研究期间无复发或死亡病例报告。

Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the snail intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni was cultured in the laboratory to show the effects of calcilllll chloride (CaC12) on its growth rate and survival. Ten snails of approximately the same size and age were cultured in each of 4 tanks set up. In 3 of the tanks, CaC1 2 was dissolved in 1000 rnL of water in various concentrations. The 4th tank served as control experiment where snails were bred without any CaC1 2 added. Highest growth rate was recorded in tank with highest concentration but percentage rate of survival was lowest here. Lowest growth was recorded in the control tank. Highest survival rate was recorded in tank 1 where calcium concentration was lowest. Significant increase in growth (p<0.05) was recorded in tank 1 with optimum concentration of calcium. Calcium chloride in optimal concentration was fmmd to improve the growth and survival rates of B. pfeifferi.
