Public-private partnership enables the state and the private sector to obtain mutual benefit by combining financial, managerial, technological resources, combining solutions to socially significant problems of the country's socio-economic development with the achievement of the interests of business and society. The optimal option for the implementation of PPP can be achieved only in the case of: a) a thorough study of the processes of accumulation of the strategic potential of the Ukrainian economy; b) improving the structure and content of the economic mechanism for the implementation of intersectoral interaction and its basic components; c) a combination of various approaches to modeling the development of construction production and construction enterprises in order to predict its targets based on the results of the restructuring of the Ukrainian economy; d) conceptual and methodological comprehension of the target functionals of state regulation of intersectoral interaction both within the framework of the national economy and the economic system of the state as a whole; e) development and implementation of objective qualimetric tools for diagnosing the potential for increasing production capacities, as well as opportunities for mobilizing and rational use of the potentials of the systemically universal functioning of PPP in order to achieve high competitiveness of construction enterprises in the implementation of PPP projects. The article determines that both the theoretical and methodological basis for the implementation of construction projects based on PPP, and specific organizational and structural mechanisms for managing such projects, need to be improved. The existing developments in economic science and practice on the implementation of PPP and commercial concession mechanisms do not reflect the industry specifics of contract construction and the complexity of the life cycle of a construction investment project based on PPP.
The aim of this study was to identify a group of patients aged 3 to 7 years for whom there is the possibility for reducing of craniospinal radiation dose (CSI). From 2008 to 2018 fifty one pediatric patients with primary diagnosed medulloblastoma in the age group 3 - 18 years were included in trial, 38 in standard risk group, 13 in high risk group. Treatment program consisted of surgical removal of the primary tumor site with subsequent radiation therapy (with CSI of 23,4 Gy or 36 Gy, depending on the risk group) and high-dose chemotherapy (with high-dose cyclophosphamide or thiophosphamide). As a result of this study, sufficiently high rates of overall survival and progression/relapse - free survival (PFS) were achieved in standard and high-risk groups patients, which amounted to 76,0 ± 8,8% and 83,3 ± 10,8% with median follow-up 62,9 ± 6,2 months and 52,2 ± 7,8 months, respectively. There was revealed patients group in the age 3 - 7 years with 100% PFS and median follow-up 66,9 ± 8,9 months. Morphological and molecular biological factors of an unfavorable outcome of the disease (large cell - anaplastic histology, MYC/MYC-N gene amplification, Iso17q and TP53 gene mutation) were absent in this tumor samples. We have also achieved 100% PFS in patients with desmoplastic tumor histology and in patients, who were treated with thiphosphamide - based chemotherapy regimen. Molecular - biological characteristics analysis of tumor cells showed a negative effect on PFS of DNMT - positive status (Score 4 and>, by 3 markers) and presence of MYC-N gene amplification (SHH molecular subgroup).
The aim of this study was to estimate treatment toxicity and event-free survival (EFS) according to therapeutic program, MYC/MYC-N gene amplification and MGMT/DNMT (1, 3a, 3b) proteins expression in tumor cells. From 2016 to 2018 twenty four patients were included in trial. Children underwent adjuvant therapy: craniospinal radiation (CSI) or local radiation therapy (RT) to the relapsed site up to 23.4Gy with 5-azacytidine, 2 cycles methotrexate/5-azacytidine/cisplatin/etoposide, 3 cycles 5-azacytidine/temozolomide - for relapsed group (arm A, n = 5); for patients with de novo medulloblastoma: arm B, n = 11 – vincristine/cyclophosphamide/cisplatin/etoposide (OPEC) - based induction, CSI 36Gy + local RT to the tumor bed up to 54Gy with 5-azacytidine, 1 cycle OPEC and 2 cycles thiophosphamide/carboplatin with auto stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT); arm C, n = 8 – cyclophosphamide/cisplatin - based induction, CSI 23.4 Gy followed by 2 cycles 5-azacytidine/thiophosphamide/carboplatin with auto-SCT, local RT with 5-azacytidine. The combination of 5-azacytidine with local RT or temozolomide was safety and tolerability. Arm C was discontinued due to severe gastrointestinal grade 3/4 toxicity, hemorrhagic syndrome after combination of 5-azacytidine with thiophosphamide/carboplatin. EFS was 0% in arm A, 53.0 ± 15.5%, 50.0 ± 17.7% in arms B and C, a median follow-up 8.8 ± 1.1 months (arm A), 18.8 ± 2.5 months (arm B), 25.0 ± 4.4 months (arm C). Addition of 5-azacytidine to RT or chemotherapy did not improve EFS of patients with MYC/MYC-N gene amplification positive tumor. There was not determined any prognostic significance of MGMT/DNMT (1, 3a, 3b) proteins expression in this cohort.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
