Aims
Bacterial heat shock proteins can have anti-apoptotic effects on human cells. We investigated whether enterobacterial HSP60 can protect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from DXM-induced apoptosis and if this effect requires cytoskeleton participation.Main methods
Anti-apoptotic effect from enterobacterial HSP60 was analyzed by adding these proteins to peripheral mononuclear cells cultures before DXM induction. Percentage of apoptotic cells was determined by SubG0 peak and TUNEL techniques in a flow cytometer.Key findings
Our results showed significant protective effect of HSP60 Klebsiella pneumoniae and E. coli, in the DXM-induced apoptosis in PBMC. Similar results were obtained with recombinant human HSP60. The same protective effect of proteins was observed in CD4+ and CD8 + T cell subpopulations. To analyze if enterobacterial HSP60 need internalization to have the anti-apoptotic effect, we used cytoskeleton inhibitors such as: nocodazole, cytochalasin D and amiloride, the three inhibitors significantly affected the protective role of HSP60 in apoptosis induced with DXM. Results suggest that the protective effect of HSP60 K. pneumoniae and E. coli requires the participation of contractile structures for the internalization of this protein by the cells, we suggest that the internalization of enterobacterial HSP60 could be carry out by macropinocytosis.Significance
We report for the first time that K. pneumoniae and E. coli HSP60 have protective effect in the apoptosis induced with DXM in PBMC from healthy subjects and that this effect requires the internalization of the protein with active participation of the cytoskeleton. 相似文献3.

Objective
To estimate differences in the economic valuation and sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with informal care between phases of the treatment in the case of blood cancer patients.Methods
139 haematological cancer patients who underwent a stem cell transplantation completed a longitudinal questionnaire according to 3 phases of the treatment: short-term (pre-transplant), medium-term (1st year post-transplant) and long-term (2nd-6th year post-transplant). Economic value of informal care was estimated using proxy good and opportunity cost methods. Ordered and binary logistic models were performed to identify factors associated with informal care.Results
123 patients reported having received informal care. A progressive reduction of the number of hours of care was observed between phases. Monetary value per patient ranged from 1,288 to 3,409; 1,045 to 2,786; and 336 to 854 €/month in the short, medium and long term, respectively. Patients with acute leukaemia and those who received an unrelated allogeneic transplantation were 22% (short-term) and 33.5% (medium-term) more likely to receive more than 8 hours/day of care respect to patients diagnosed with lymphoma and autologous transplantation. In the long term, patients with multiple myeloma were more likely to receive more care. Better health status and higher educational level were associated with fewer daily hours of care.Conclusions
Informal care varies greatly between stages of the treatment depending on the clinical and sociodemographic factors. Significant caring time and societal costs are associated with such care in blood cancer patients. 相似文献4.

Objectives
To analyze the cost-effectiveness of current technologies (conservative care [CONS], high-ligation surgery [HL/S], ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy [UGFS], endovenous laser ablation [EVLA], and radiofrequency ablation [RFA]) and emerging technologies (mechanochemical ablation [MOCA] and cyanoacrylate glue occlusion [CAE]) for treatment of varicose veins over 5 years.Methods
A Markov decision model was constructed. Effectiveness was measured by re-intervention on the truncal vein, re-treatment of residual varicosities, and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) over 5 years. Model inputs were estimated from systematic review, the UK National Health Service unit costs, and manufacturers’ list prices. Univariate and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were undertaken.Results
CONS has the lowest overall cost and quality of life per person over 5 years; HL/S, EVLA, RFA, and MOCA have on average similar costs and effectiveness; and CAE has the highest overall cost but is no more effective than other therapies. The incremental cost per QALY of RFA versus CONS was £5,148/QALY. Time to return to work or normal activities was significantly longer after HL/S than after other procedures.Conclusions
At a threshold of £20,000/QALY, RFA was the treatment with highest median rank for net benefit, with MOCA second, EVLA third, HL/S fourth, CAE fifth, and CONS and UGFS sixth. Further evidence on effectiveness and health-related quality of life for MOCA and CAE is needed. At current prices, CAE is not a cost-effective option because it is costlier but has not been shown to be more effective than other options. 相似文献6.
ObjectivesA key criticism of applying the friction cost approach (FCA) to productivity cost estimation is its focus on a single friction period. A more accurate estimate of the friction cost of worker absence requires consideration of the chain of secondary vacancies arising from the opening of a new primary vacancy. Currently, empirical evidence on this is almost absent. We suggest an original approach to empirically estimate productivity costs that include a chain of secondary vacancies.MethodsThe vacancy multiplier is based on labor market flows and transition probabilities between states of employment, unemployment, and economic inactivity. It is a summed infinite geometric series using a common ratio et – the probability of an employed person filling a new job vacancy in a given year. We report vacancy multipliers for 30 European countries for 2011-2019.ResultsThe average multiplier across Europe is 2.21 (standard deviation [SD] = 0.40) in 2019, meaning that every new primary vacancy created a chain of secondary vacancies that increased the primary friction cost by a factor of 2.21. The equivalent multiplier is 1.99 (SD = 0.37) between 2011 and 2019. Romania had the lowest country-specific multiplier (1.11 in 2011), and Greece the highest (4.51 in 2011).ConclusionsOur results highlight the extent of underestimation of current FCA costs, comprise a resource for future researchers, and provide an implementable formula to compute the multiplier for other countries. 相似文献
