In the past ten years, human genome epi- demiology has made great progresses along with ad- vances in genomics technologies, which make it pos- sible for the examination of genetic variants in a large sample size at a sufficiently low cost. Genetic associa- tion study in population provides a powerful approach to identify variants or genes associated with disease of interest by comparing distributions of genetic variants between affected and unaffected individuals.展开更多

Among them human leukocyte antigen(HLA) locus plays a key role at different levels. In fact, genes of the HLA locus have shown the peculiar capability to modulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. In particular, HLA class Ⅰmolecules are recognized by CD8+ T-cells and natural killers(NK) cells towards the interaction with T cell receptor(TCR) and Killer Immunoglobulin Receptor(KIR) 3DL1 respectively. Polymorphisms within the different HLA alleles generate structural changes in HLA classⅠpeptide-binding pockets. Amino acid changes in the peptide-binding pocket lead to the presentation of a different set of peptides to T and NK cells. This review summarizes the role of HLA in HIV progression toward acquired immunodeficiency disease syndrome and its receptors. Recently, many studies have been focused on determining the HLA binding-peptides. The novel use of immune-informatics tools, from the prediction of the HLA-bound peptides to the modification of the HLAreceptor complexes, is considered. A better knowledge of HLA peptide presentation and recognition are allowing new strategies for immune response manipulation to be applied against HIV virus.展开更多

The pursuit of well- being and dignity is theeternal aspiration of human beings, as well as of the Chinese people. Since re- form and opening up, particularly since the beginning of the 21 st century, China has achieved remarkable advancements in its human fights cause. In March 2012, the National People's Congress (NPC) approved, with broad support, amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law, which for the first time includes "respecting and protecting human fights." It is a landmark in the history of China's human rights development and signals the rapid progress of human fights in China.展开更多

Turning a blind eye to the progres sive amendments China has made to the Criminal Procedure Law and the Mental Health Law in March and October and ignoring the fact that the country has raised the level of its ju dicial guarantee for human rights, the report, published on Jan 31, criticizes China by saying that its legal reform has been at a standstill. "When challenged by its citizens, repression or tactical retreat rather than systemic reform re mains the Chinese government's default response," the report says. However, it is an established fact that 2012 marked a milestone in China's judicial reforms, for significant progress was made in that field last year. In terms of steady advancement of the reform and openingup policy, China has achieved a series of major breakthroughs in recent years in its bid to reform its judicial system.展开更多

However, human beings have not only the natural at- tributes, but also social attributes, including such high-level social at- tributes as thinking capability and culture. The role of culture on hu- man beings can be seen in people's understandings on human rights connotation and human rights value. In fact, the different views on hu- man rights issue of various countries worldwide are linked with their dif- ferent cultures. We cannot change the differences of various countries in cultures, but we can learn about and understand the differences through cultural exchanges so as to enhance recognition on human rights issue.展开更多
