As part of a longitudinal study, 265 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from 204 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-seropositive subjects and 43 seronegative controls were evaluated. Of the 204 seropositive persons, 78 (38%) had > or = 1 CSF culture positive for HIV-1; the probability of being culture positive increased as the number of CSF samples obtained increased (P = .0018). Significantly correlated with culture positivity were elevations in CSF protein level (P = .014) and CSF white blood cell count (P = .001). Virus was more readily cultured from clarified CSF (89%, 42/47) than from the cellular fraction (30%, 14/47; P < .00001). Amplification of HIV-1 DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from 25 seropositive persons was positive in 9 (82%) of 11 culture-positive and in 4 (29%) of 14 culture-negative specimens, while amplification of viral RNA detected all 11 culture-positive and 9 (64%) of the 14 culture-negative CSF specimens. These data support the hypothesis that the development of HIV-1-associated neurocognitive disorders are not dependent solely on the presence of HIV-1 within the central nervous system.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories. Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D009010 Monte Carlo Method In statistics, a technique for numerically approximating the solution of a mathematical problem by studying the distribution of some random variable, often generated by a computer. The name alludes to the randomness characteristic of the games of chance played at the gambling casinos in Monte Carlo. (From Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed, 1993) Method, Monte Carlo
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.
