Analysis of the correlation between socio-economic development and land prices – a study of the Zagnańsk municipality

The aim of the paper was to analyse the correlation between socio-economic development and the prices of undeveloped real estate, as illustrated with the example of the Zagnańsk municipality (Silesia province, Kielce district). The level of the municipality’s socio-economic development was evaluated using the zero unitarization method, by means of the normalization of 12 diagnostic variables. The analysis of unit prices of properties was performed on the basis of data from the register of property prices and values, obtained from the District Office (Starostwo Powiatowe) in Kielce. Classification of administrative units was performed using the typology method. In order to determine the correlation between the level of development, and the prices of property as well as features that describe the surveyed object, Pearson’s correlation coefficient (also referred to as Pearson’s r) was applied. It was demonstrated that improving the conditions of socio-economic development significantly affects the increase in the prices of undeveloped land

The Influence of Genetic Variations in the CD86

CD86 molecule is the ligand for both costimulatory (CD28) and coinhibitory (CTLA-4) molecules, and it regulates immune response after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Therefore, we postulate that CD86 gene variations might influence the outcome after alloHSCT. Altogether, 295 adult patients (pts) undergoing related (105 pts) and unrelated (190 pts) donor-matched HSCT were genotyped for the following CD86 gene polymorphisms: rs1129055, rs9831894, and rs2715267. Moreover, the donors’ rs1129055 polymorphism was determined. None of the investigated SNPs alone were associated with aGvHD and rate of relapse. However, we showed that rs2715267 SNP influenced overall survival (OS) after alloHSCT. The 24-month OS for the rs271526GG recipients was worse than that for the recipients possessing T allelle (TT or GT genotypes) (p=0.009). Moreover, analysis of gene-gene interaction between CD86 and CTLA-4 showed that having both the A allele for CD86 rs1129055 and the CTLA-4 CT60GG genotype in recipients increased the risk of aGvHD about 3.5 times. Interestingly, the donors’ rs1129055GG genotype and the recipients’ CT60GG genotype also increased the risk of aGvHD about 2.7-fold. We postulate that recipients’ CD86 gene polymorphisms influence the overall survival after alloHSCT and, together with CTLA-4 polymorphisms, might be considered a risk factor for aGvHD
