China has made great efforts and progress in studying, treating, and controlling HIV/AIDS in the past 15 years. This situation calls the need for systematic analysis of the status and capability of China in the global HIV/AIDS research. It will facilitate the world to integrate and utilize resources from China in fighting against the disease. A bibliometric analysis in HIV/AIDS research of China was conducted for the period 2000-2014. HIV/AIDS articles and citations were measured as research productivity. A set of indices were examined to explore China's scientific footprint in the global HIV/AIDS research. China has exhibited higher-than-average research performance since 2008. Two stages of HIV/AIDS research development have been identified as in 2000-2005 and 2005-2014. Major HIV/AIDS research institutions and scientists in China have been detected. Co-citation analysis of publications revealed important publications that acted as intellectual turning points of China’s HIV/AIDS research evolution during 2000-2014. Co-occurring keywords analysis revealed important and center terms of HIV/AIDS research publications from China. Combinations of related issues show that the HIV/AIDS research is currently focused on the “epidemiology of HIV/AIDS in China” and “molecular mechanisms of HIV/AIDS infection”.","PeriodicalId":45072,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science","volume":"21 1","pages":"83-108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2016-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68662965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through content analysis and categorization of academic literatures, the focus in different development stages of research fields, such as research areas, issues of concern, and temporal and spatial shifts, is summarized and analyzed. This study proposes an analytical framework for the topics of electronic resources by adopting the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) posted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) as the basis for subject classification. The study covers cancer research as a subject case to verify and compare the databases of SCImago Journal and Country Rank and the bibliographies of PubMed biomedical literatures. Through systematic collection, collation, and analysis of raw data, variables such as specific key topics, number of publications, and year of publications are segmented for statistical analysis. The findings show that cancer research is a developing trend, and the compiled information provides a diversity of study topics for informatics and information behavior research.","PeriodicalId":45072,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science","volume":"21 1","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68663453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we examined the inhibition of CCR5 in combination with the treatment with cyclosporine A (CsA) in chronic rejection in cardiac transplantation. Forty-five transplant recipients were randomized to three groups. Recipients in group A were treated with anti-CCR5 mAb and CsA, mice in group B were given anti-CCR5 mAb alone, and animals in group C were administered with only CsA. On day 45 after transplantation, the allografts were harvested and examined by immunohistologic technique and PT-PCR methods. Allografts treated with anti-CCR5 mAb and CsA showed significantly prolonged survival (44.73 ± 0.258 days, P < 0.01) as compared with CsA-treated group (37.00 ± 2.04 days). Treatment with anti-CCR5 mAb plus CsA significantly inhibited the progression of cardiac allograft vasculopathy. Our findings demonstrated that anti-CCR5 mAb in combination with CsA can prolong the survival of allograft through their cardio-protective and immunomodulative properties. Thus, combined administration of anti-CCR5 mAb and CsA may become a new therapeutic approach for the prevention of cardiac graft failure that has not been obviated by conventional immunosuppressive agents.</p>","PeriodicalId":45072,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2008-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85430470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
