New Rochelle, NY, February 18, 2014New evidence that chronic intake of THC, the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, can protect critical immune tissue in the gut from the damaging effects of HIV infection is reported in AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses website at http://www.liebertpub.com/aid.

Patricia Molina and coauthors from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, report that chronic THC administration was associated with greater survival of T cell populations and reduced overall cell death in the gut in monkeys, which is known to be a key target for simian immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication and infection-related inflammation. The researchers present their findings in the article "Modulation of Gut-Specific Mechanisms by Chronic 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Administration in Male Rhesus Macaques Infected with Simian Immunodeficiency Virus: A Systems Biology Analysis." This report provides mechanistic insights into their previous observation that THC administration attenuates disease progression in SIV infected macaques (AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses 2011; 27: 585-592)

"To better treat HIV infection, we need a better understanding of how it causes the disease we call AIDS. We also need alternative approaches to treatment," says Thomas Hope, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses and Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL. "This study is important because it begins to explain how THC can influence disease progression in SIV-infected macaques. It also reveals a new way to slow disease progression."

Maine convicted killer loses bid for DNA tests

Posted: at 6:43 am

By DAVID SHARP/Associated Press/February 18, 2014

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) A divided state supreme court on Tuesday rejected a request to order additional DNA tests on behalf of a convicted killer who claims they could show someone else shot to death his ex-girlfriend and a toddler she was baby-sitting.

Jeffrey Cookson wanted the tests done on clothes worn by another man, David Vantol, who claimed responsibility for the killings but later recanted.

In a 5-1 decision, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court upheld a judges ruling that Cookson failed to show that others hadnt had control of the items or tampered with them.

Writing for the majority, Justice Ellen Gorman said items in question didnt match exactly with what Vantol described and that the items could not be accounted for during a two-year period before they were obtained from a location owned by Cooks brother.

The point of establishing a chain of custody is to demonstrate that the evidence presented for testing is evidence that is germane to the case, and that it has not been tampered with, she wrote.

But Justice Joseph Jabar came to a contrary conclusion. In dissenting opinion, he said that the law requires some evidence of chain of custody but didnt require Cookson to eliminate every possibility of tampering.

He wrote that DNA evidence has been used both to convict and exonerate defendants.

It is incumbent on the state, in its judicial, investigative, and prosecutorial capacities, to use this unparalleled evidence where it is available, he wrote.

Cookson, who is serving two life sentences, was convicted in 2001 for the killings of Mindy Gould, 20, and 21-month-old Treven Cunningham, both of whom were shot in the back of the head while they were lying face down in a bedroom in Dexter.
