OTC Biotech Stock News; Aethlon (OTCBB: AEMD) Reports HIV Breakthrough

San Diego, December 14, 2011 - (Investorideas.com Biotech/PharmaNewswire) HIV Medical Technology News Update - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), a pioneer in developing therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease and cancer, reports that researchers have discovered that the Aethlon Hemopurifier® is able to capture particles known as Nef protein exosomes, which contribute to the progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Aethlon Medical's Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class therapeutic device that selectively targets the clearance of viruses, immunosuppressive proteins, and disease enhancing exosomes from the entire the entire circulatory system.
Nef or "Negative Factor" protein is a highly abundant HIV accessory protein that plays an essential role in AIDS progression, yet has eluded HIV drug discovery efforts. Nef protein is secreted from infected cells in small membrane-bound packages called "exosomes." These exosomes fuse with non-infected cells and cause a variety of effects, including programmed cell death of CD4+ immune cells, the hallmark of AIDS. The Hemopurifier® provides a strategy to address Nef exosomes, which are present in the blood of HIV infected individuals. In an ex vivo validation study conducted by researchers at Morehouse School of Medicine, a small-scale Hemopurifier® reduced the presence of Nef exosomes in cell-culture fluids by greater than 85% in less than 24 hours. The outcome represents the first demonstration that a medical device can selectively target Nef exosomes.
"It is becoming increasingly clear that many viruses, including HIV, exploit the mechanisms of exosome production for their secretion and pathogenesis," stated Michael Powell, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Director of Proteomics, Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Immunology at Morehouse School of Medicine. "Therefore, therapies that target circulating exosomes hold great promise to advance antiviral strategies."
In addition to Nef exosomes, the Hemopurifier® is the subject of multi-cancer studies against tumor-secreted exosomes that facilitate the ability of cancerous tumors to evade the immune response. Tumor-secreted exosomes are implicated in the survival, growth, and metastasis of cancer. Additionally, the Hemopurifier® is being evaluated in human studies as an adjunct therapy to improve outcomes of HCV patients receiving interferon therapy.
"First and foremost, our clinical focus is to demonstrate that our Hemopurifier® improves the benefit of Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) therapies, stated Jim Joyce, CEO and founder of Aethlon Medical. �However, when considering our previous HIV treatment experience, the emerging insight that we can address Nef exosomes provides a further basis for us to pursue clinical opportunities to treat HIV-infected individuals," stated Jim Joyce, CEO and founder of Aethlon Medical.
In a previous proof-of-principle study, an HIV-infected dialysis patient diagnosed with AIDS received Hemopurifier® therapy during his normal dialysis treatment, resulting in the administration of three weekly Hemopurifier® treatments over the period of one month. The study was conducted in the absence of any antiviral drug administration. In addition to demonstrating treatment safety in an immune-compromised AIDS patient, HIV viral load of the patient was reduced from 102,759 iu/ml at the beginning of treatment one to a final value of 7,978 iu/ml at the end of treatment twelve, representing a 92% reduction. Viral load remained 56% below initial testing values when measured 14-days after last Hemopurifier(r) therapy. Additionally, CD4 t-cell to lymphocyte ratios increased from 13.5% to 18.05% during the study. A ratio below 15% represents a clinical definition of AIDS. The study was conducted at the Sigma New Life Hospital in India.

China Stocks Snapshot; (OTC.BB: CAAH) and (NASDAQ: CCCL) Report Strong Third Quarter Revenue Growth in Interior Tile Industry

News about China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH)

POINT ROBERTS, December 12, 2011 - China/Asia stock alert - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, reports on companies in the interior tile industry in China, featuring microcap company, China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH).

Both China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH) and its larger competitor, Ceramics Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: CCCL) reported strong revenue growth in the third quarter, up 38.7% and 38.4% respectively from third quarter 2010.
If you speak to anyone who has been in China recently, there is no feedback of slowdown as they report rapid growth and consumer spending in some of the growing cities across China.
According to a report from McKinsey research, "The Chinese have taken to consumerism with ease, embracing thousands of new products, services, and brands -- including a decided taste for luxury. By 2020 and within the course of one decade, real consumption will have doubled to $4.8 trillion and China will then be the world's second-biggest consumer market after the United States. "
With headlines of China's inflation concerns, the report also notes, it "finds Chinese consumers to be resilient in the face of inflation."
China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH) reported "The increase in revenue was driven by a shift in sales mix toward our higher priced premium polycrystalline porcelain floor tiles in 2011 as compared greater unit volume of our lower priced porcelain floor tiles in 2010. The premium polycrystalline floor tile series, launched in the fourth quarter of 2010, is priced approximately 50% higher than our patterned polished porcelain floor tiles. Revenue in the third quarter of 2011 was also boosted by sales of our newest product series, interior porcelain wall tiles, which we launched in August of 2011. Gross profit in the third quarter of 2011 reached $4.4 million, up 39.8% from gross profit of $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, gross profit climbed to $10.6 million, up 25.7% from $8.4 million recorded in the same period in 2010. Gross profit margins for the third quarter were 37% and 36% for the first nine months of 2011, and were consistent with the comparable 2010 periods. Our gross profit margins thus far in 2011 remained flat due to higher margins from sales of our polycrystalline floor tile series being offset by increases in cost of sales due primarily to increases in costs for raw materials, wages and benefits for manufacturing employees, and fuel."
Third quarter and first nine months of 2011:

• Revenue Reaches $12 Million in 3rd Quarter of 2011, Up 38.7% from the $8.7 Million Recorded in the 3rd Quarter of 2010
• Operating Income Climbs to $3.7 Million, Up 36.5% from the $2.7 Million Recorded in the 3rd Quarter of 2010
• Net Income for the 3rd Quarter of 2011 reaches $3.1 Million, Up 42.3% from Net Income of $2.2 Million in the 3rd Quarter of 2010

How is the industry doing?
Larger competitor Ceramics Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: CCCL) a leading Chinese manufacturer of ceramic tiles used for exterior siding and for interior flooring and design in residential and commercial buildings, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Third Quarter 2011 Highlights

Magnesium Stock Alert: China Direct (NASDAQ:  CDII) - Magnesium Demand Outlook highly Positive Long Term  


POINT ROBERTS, December 12, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, distributes the following CFA commentary on China magnesium producer China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) and the key markets that drive the demand for magnesium. The report, Magnesium Demand- Indicators and Outlook, was issued by Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.

Magnesium Demand - Indicators and Outlook
Headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida, China Direct Industries, Inc. ( NASDAQ:CDII), sources, produces and distributes industrial products in China as well as the Americas. The Company operates in two business segments - the magnesium / basic materials segment and a consulting segment that provides a suite of services to companies operating primarily in China. These services include financing structures and arrangements, mergers, acquisitions and other business transactions, identifying potential areas of growth, translation services, managing and coordinating all necessary government approvals and licenses in the PRC, as well as marketing services, investor relations services, and coordination of the preparation of required SEC filings.
CDII's magnesium / basic materials segment, with annual production capacity of 50,000 metric tons of pure magnesium ingots and 10,000 metric tons of magnesium powder, makes China Direct Industries Inc. one of the largest magnesium producers in the world. At nearly 80% of Q3 2011 revenue, the magnesium / basic materials segment is a critical driver of CDII's success, with magnesium representing approximately 44% of total revenue and basic materials representing approximately 35% of total Q3 11 revenue.
While market fluctuations and global economic and fiscal challenges will always result in some degree of uncertainty in the short term, the outlook for the magnesium demand seems to be highly positive in the longer term as a result of growth that appears likely across the industries that utilize magnesium as a basic input. With a commanding share of market production, China Direct Industries ( NASDAQ:CDII) may be of interest to those interested in investing in the long term prospects for magnesium.
Background - Magnesium Properties, Uses, Market

• Physical Properties[i]: Magnesium is the lightest and strongest of the structural metals - it is 33% lighter than aluminum, 60% lighter than titanium, 75% lighter than steel.
• Uses [ii]: Most pure metals, including magnesium, are too soft for structural use. However strength properties comparable to those of many aluminum alloys are obtained by alloying magnesium with other metals, and, in some cases, by heat treating or working. Magnesium is also used in desulfurization with other metals, specifically steel. According to estimates from the International Magnesium Association, the primary uses are:
• o Alloying with aluminum - 40 - 45 percent
• o As a structural metal - magnesium alloys - 33 - 35 percent
• o Iron and steel processing - desulfurization - 13 percent
• o Electrochemical and other
• The Market: China produces approximately 80% of the global magnesium market, which grew over 24% to 809,000 tons in 2010[iii].
