Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to a method for establishing an animal model of nerve injury caused by HIV infection and its application. Background technique
[0002] Although combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) can systematically inhibit HIV virus replication and maintain a very low viral load, most cART drugs cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, causing HIV-related neuropathy. Cognitive impairment (HAND) is still prevalent. With the prolongation of patient survival, about 50% of infected patients will further develop into HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), including psychomotor slowing, attention, memory, Motor function, executive function, verbal fluency, information processing speed, sensory / perception. The evolution of HAND is from preclinical asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment (asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment, ANI) to mild neurocognitive disorder (mild neurocogn...
