    Antiretroviral therapy is not curative. Given the challenges in providing lifelong therapy to a global population of more than 35 million people living with HIV, there is intense interest in developing a cure for HIV infection. The International AIDS Society convened a group of international experts to develop a scientific strategy for research towards an HIV cure. This Perspective summarizes the group's strategy

    Special Approach to Near Set Theory

    The aim of this paper is to introduce two approaches to near sets by using a special neighbourhood. Some fundamental properties and characterizations are given. We obtain a comparison between these new set approximations as well as set approximations introduced by Peters (2011, 2009, 2007, 2006)

    Chemical Compositions and Antiproliferative Effect of Citrus sinensis and Citrus aurautium Flowers in The Nest Anatolian Ecological Conditions

    The aim of this was to assessment chemical composition, antiproliferative of valuable essential oils from Citrus sinensis and Citrus aurantium flowers commonly used in Anatolia. According to the results of the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, nerolidol (22.13 \%), linalool (14.06 \%) were found to be highest in the essential oil obtained from C. sinensis. Nerolidol (28.07 \%), 2,6,10-dodecatriene-1-ol (15.11 \%), were found to be highest in the essential oil obtained from C. aurantium. The antiproliferative activity for both natural products was conducted following the European Pharmacopoeia 8.0 protocol. According to this protocol, we in both products for in vitro antiproliferative activity against HeLa, HT29, A549, Hep3B, MCF7 cancer cells and FL normal cells using a cell proliferation assay, cytotoxicity assay (LDH), and phase-contrast microscopic image evaluation techniques. Both essential oils exhibited the strong antiproliferative effect together with low cytotoxicity values at the low and mid concentration (1.9-2.9 Log(10) mu g/mL). Both samples altered the morphological shape of the cells from being cell shrinkage and rounding to being decreased cell elongation and volume at high concentration (2.9-4.4 Log(10) mu g/mL). However, these essentials oils caused high cytotoxic effect against FL normal cells compared to that of cancer cells, indicating that these were not promising suitable antiproliferative agents against cells tested. We believe that both essential oils need to be developed by making a more rational research because they have affected normal FL cells. As a conclusion, it seems substantial to continue to improve both essential oils to help the cancer problem further
