Introduction
Despite the evidence for preventing childhood morbidity and mortality, financial resources are cited as a constraint for Governments to scale up the key health interventions in some countries. We evaluate the cost effectiveness of implementing IMNCI program in India from a health system and societal perspective.Methods
We parameterized a decision analytic model to assess incremental cost effectiveness of IMNCI program as against routine child health services for infant population at district level in India. Using a 15-years time horizon from 2007 to 2022, we populated the model using data on costs and effects as found from a cluster-randomized trial to assess effectiveness of IMNCI program in Haryana state. Effectiveness was estimated as reduction in infant illness episodes, deaths and disability adjusted life years (DALY). Incremental cost per DALY averted was used to estimate cost effectiveness of IMNCI. Future costs and effects were discounted at a rate of 3%. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis was undertaken to estimate the probability of IMNCI to be cost effective at varying willingness to pay thresholds.Results
Implementation of IMNCI results in a cumulative reduction of 57384 illness episodes, 2369 deaths and 76158 DALYs among infants at district level from 2007 to 2022. Overall, from a health system perspective, IMNCI program incurs an incremental cost of USD 34.5 (INR 1554) per DALY averted, USD 34.5 (INR 1554) per life year gained, USD 1110 (INR 49963) per infant death averted. There is 90% probability for ICER to be cost effective at INR 2300 willingness to pay, which is 5.5% of India’s GDP per capita. From a societal perspective, IMNCI program incurs an additional cost of USD 24.1 (INR 1082) per DALY averted, USD 773 (INR 34799) per infant death averted and USD 26.3 (INR 1183) per illness averted in during infancy.Conclusion
IMNCI program in Indian context is very cost effective and should be scaled-up as a major child survival strategy. 相似文献2.

Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is characterized by the neoplasm of immature haematopoietic precursor cells (HPCs). We report significant differences between the expression of sialoglycoproteins and adhesion molecules on mononuclear cells (MNCs) of bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) from individual children at diagnosis of the disease. Lymphoblasts in PB predominantly expressed 9-O-acetylated sialoglycoproteins (Neu5,9Ac2-GPs), sialic acid, alpha2-3 linked sialic acid, L- and P-selectins and vascular cell adhesion molecule -1 (VCAM-1) on their surface compared to BM, as determined with selective lectins and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) by flow cytometric analysis. CD34+CD38+ cells present either in diagnostic PB or BM always showed enhanced expression of both alpha2-3 and alpha2-6 linked sialic acids, Neu5,9Ac2-GPs, L- and P-selectins and VCAM-1, compared to CD34+CD38- population, as confirmed by higher mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). Expression of ICAM-1 was reverse. However, MFI of Neu5,9Ac2-GPs was always higher both in CD34+CD38+ and CD34+CD38- population in PB compared to BM. Diverse trend of these cell surface macromolecules was observed during clinical remission. This is the first comparative study between PB and BM, where significant differential distribution of sialylated macromolecules and adhesion molecules was observed. Hence, supervising these cell surface macromolecules at various stages of treatment might help in minimal residual disease detection, identifying mobilization factor(s) and in isolation of normal HPCs for autologous BM transplantation. 相似文献

To elucidate the role of epigenetic reprogramming in cell- or tissue-specific differentiation, we explored the role of DNA methyltransferases (Dnmts) in the nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced differentiation of PC12 (pheochromocytoma) cells into neuronal cells. The mRNA and protein levels of de novo methyltransferase Dnmt3b increased, whereas those of Dnmt3a and Dnmt1 decreased, during NGF-induced neurite outgrowth. Dnmt3b localized in the nucleus, as well as in the growing neurites. When the expression of Dnmt3b was inhibited by antisense or small interfering RNA, PC12 cells continued to proliferate and failed to generate neurites. Cells depleted of Dnmt3b were unable to exit the cell cycle even after 6 days of NGF treatment. Furthermore, this failure in differentiation correlated with significant attenuation in tyrosine phosphorylation of TrkA (a marker for NGF-induced differentiation) and reduced the expression of neuronal markers, Hu antigen, and MAP2. The methyl-CpG content of the PC12 genome or the methylation status of repetitive elements was not significantly altered after differentiation and was not affected by Dnmt3b depletion. This was consistent with the ability of the catalytic-site mutant of Dnmt3b to induce differentiation in Dnmt3b-depleted cells after NGF treatment. The Dnmt3b-mediated differentiation was attributed to its N-terminal domain, which recruits histone deacetylase 2 (Hdac2), as demonstrated by (i) impeding of differentiation by the Hdac inhibitors, (ii) facilitation of the differentiation process by overexpression of the N-terminal domain of Dnmt3b, (iii) higher Hdac activity associated with Dnmt3b after NGF treatment, and (iv) coimmunoprecipitation and cosedimentation of Dnmt3b specifically with Hdac2 in a glycerol density gradient. These data indicate a novel role of Dnmt3b in neuronal differentiation. 相似文献

Withaferin A (WA) is present abundantly in Withania somnifera, a well-known Indian medicinal plant. Here we demonstrate how WA exhibits a strong growth-inhibitory effect on several human
leukemic cell lines and on primary cells from patients with lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia in a dose-dependent manner,
showing no toxicity on normal human lymphocytes and primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells. WA-mediated decrease in cell viability was observed through apoptosis as demonstrated by externalization of phosphatidylserine,
a time-dependent increase in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio; loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, cytochrome c release, caspases 9 and 3 activation; and accumulation of cells in sub-G0 region based on DNA fragmentation. A search for
the downstream pathway further reveals that WA-induced apoptosis was mediated by an increase in phosphorylated p38MAPK expression,
which further activated downstream signaling by phosphorylating ATF-2 and HSP27 in leukemic cells. The RNA interference of
p38MAPK protected these cells from WA-induced apoptosis. The RNAi knockdown of p38MAPK inhibited active phosphorylation of
p38MAPK, Bax expression, activation of caspase 3 and increase in Annexin V positivity. Altogether, these findings suggest
that p38MAPK in leukemic cells promotes WA-induced apoptosis. WA caused increased levels of Bax in response to MAPK signaling,
which resulted in the initiation of mitochondrial death cascade, and therefore it holds promise as a new, alternative, inexpensive
chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of patients with leukemia of both lymphoid and myeloid origin.

A survey for the enzyme L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.4) has been conducted among various members of the lower plant groups, mainly algac, bryophytes and fungi; some properties of the partially purified enzyme from Euglena gracilis Z . are presented. The enzyme was detected in Chloropycean algae, Marchantiales and the Basidiomycetous fungi. The enzyme from Euglena had a pH optimum at 7.5. The Km for glucose-6-P was 2.1 m M and for NAD+ 80 μ M . When assayed in the absence of added NAD+ , the enzyme showed a basal activity suggesting the presence of bund NAD+ in the system. NH4 Cl increased the enzyme activity two-fold, altough the enzyme was inactivated by (NH4 )2 SO4 . 相似文献
