reporter writes "HIV is the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Until now, HIV has no cure and has led to the deaths of over 25 million people. However, a possible cure has appeared. Dr. Gero Hutter, a brilliant physician in Germany, replaced the bone marrow of an HIV patient with the bone marrow of a donor who has natural immunity to HIV. The new bone marrow in the patient then produced immune-system cells that are immune to HIV. Being unable to hijack any immune cell, the HIV has simply disappeared. The patient has been free of HIV for about 2 years. Some physicians at UCLA have developed a similar therapy and plan to commercialize it."

德国科学家在12日举行的新闻发布会上介绍治疗情况

据美国媒体11月12日报道,一个德国医疗小组11日表示,一名同时患有白血病和艾滋病的患者在接受干细胞骨髓移植手术后,不但白血病治好了,他体内的艾滋病病毒居然也全部消失了。但研究人员表示人们对这一结果不能过于乐观。

发现到处都很干净

据悉,这位42岁的患者是一名生活在柏林的美国人,身患艾滋病已有十多年,他同时还是一名白血病患者。为了治疗他的白血病,医生为其实施了骨髓移植手术,没料到奇迹发生了,病人的新骨髓产生了对艾滋病病毒具有免疫能力的新细胞。经过 20个月的观察,主治医生格罗·许特曼博士宣布患者目前再没有显现出任何携带艾滋病病毒的迹象。

许特曼博士说:“我们每天都担心有坏消息出现。”但幸运的是,这一幕没有发生。医生对他的骨髓、血液和其他的组织细胞都进行了测试,发现到处都很干净,不再携带病毒。

目前不能过于乐观

治愈这名美国男子的许特曼博士本人不是艾滋病专家,而是血液学专家,他在收治这名男子时也只是想治疗他的白血病。但是许特曼博士在准备骨髓移植手术的过程中突然想起他曾看过的一篇论文,文中称一些人携带的一种突变基因似乎能让他们先天具有抵御艾滋病病毒的能力,这种自双亲遗传的基因称为“德尔塔32”,能够阻碍艾滋病病毒对人体健康细胞的侵袭。

据悉,欧美人从双亲身上遗传这种“德尔塔32”突变基因的概率约为千分之一。有了上述想法后,许特曼博士便开始寻找携带这种基因、且能与患者骨髓相配型的捐献者。结果在80名骨髓配型成功的捐献者中,第61人被检测出带有“德尔塔32”突变基因。

找到合适的配型者后,患者还在医生的指导下进行了一系列准备事宜。他服用了一些效力强劲的药物,接受了放射性治疗,目的在于消灭其自身受到感染的骨髓细胞,使其免疫系统丧失功能。此外手术结束后,许特曼博士还停止给患者服用抗艾滋病的药物,因为研究小组担心,这些药物会干扰新骨髓细胞的生长。

美国全国免疫疾病和传染病研究所主任安东尼·福奇博士表示,这种手术如果用作临床治疗的话费用太高,而且风险过大,但还是值得鼓励。许特曼博士则表示目前不能过于乐观。他说:“艾滋病病毒很狡猾,不知道什么时候它们就会再冒出来。” (中国日报特稿 梁 杉)

this is interesting from a point of view of a scientist. i wonder if similar tactics could be used for virus such as westnile virus and flu related strains. if its possible, he will surely be the future nobel prize winner.
