RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To study the clinical features and prognosis of high hyperdiploid (HHD) childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data of 1 414 children who were newly diagnosed with ALL and were admitted to five hospitals in Fujian Province of China from April 2011 to December 2020. According to karyotype, they were divided into two groups: HHD (n=172) and non-HHD (n=1 242). The clinical features and treatment outcome were compared between the two groups, and the factors influencing the prognosis were further explored. RESULTS: Among the 1 414 children with ALL, 172 (12.16%) had HHD. Compared with the non-HHD group, the HHD group had significantly lower proportions of children with risk factors for poor prognosis at diagnosis (age of onset ≥10 years or <1 year, white blood cell count ≥50×109/L, and T-cell phenotype) or positive fusion genes (TEL-AML1, BCR-ABL1, E2A-PBX1, and MLL gene rearrangement) (P<0.05). The HHD group had a significantly higher proportion of children with minimal residual disease (MRD) <0.01% at the end of induction chemotherapy (P<0.05). The 10-year event-free survival (EFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate in the HHD group were significantly higher than those in the non-HHD group (P<0.05). The univariate analysis showed that the number of chromosomes of 58-66, trisomy of chromosome 10, trisomy of chromosome 17, bone marrow MRD <1% on day 15 or 19 of induction chemotherapy, and bone marrow MRD <0.01% on day 33 or 46 of induction chemotherapy were associated with a higher EFS rate (P<0.05), and trisomy of chromosome 10 was associated with a higher OS rate (P<0.05). The multivariate Cox analysis showed that trisomy of chromosome 17 was closely associated with a high EFS rate (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The ALL children with HHD have few risk factors for poor prognosis at diagnosis and often have good prognosis. The number of chromosomes and trisomy of specific chromosomes are associated with prognosis in these children.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) in children and explore the prognostic risk factors. METHODS: The clinical data of 127 newly diagnosed children with T-ALL admitted to five hospitals in Fujian province from April 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and compared with children with newly diagnosed acute precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in the same period. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS), and COX proportional hazard regression model was used to evaluate the prognostic factors. Among 116 children with T-ALL who received standard treatment, 78 cases received the Chinese Childhood Leukemia Collaborative Group (CCLG)-ALL 2008 protocol (CCLG-ALL 2008 group), and 38 cases received the China Childhood Cancer Collaborative Group (CCCG)-ALL 2015 protocol (CCCG-ALL 2015 group). The efficacy and serious adverse event (SAE) incidence of the two groups were compared. RESULTS: Proportion of male, age≥10 years old, white blood cell count (WBC)≥50×109/L, central nervous system leukemia, minimal residual disease (MRD)≥1% during induction therapy, and MRD≥0.01% at the end of induction in T-ALL children were significantly higher than those in B-ALL children (P <0.05). The expected 10-year EFS and OS of T-ALL were 59.7% and 66.0%, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of B-ALL (P <0.001). COX analysis showed that WBC≥100×109/L at initial diagnosis and failure to achieve complete remission (CR) after induction were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. Compared with CCLG-ALL 2008 group, CCCG-ALL 2015 group had lower incidence of infection-related SAE (15.8% vs 34.6%, P =0.042), but higher EFS and OS (73.9% vs 57.2%, P EFS=0.090; 86.5% vs 62.3%, P OS=0.023). CONCLUSIONS: The prognosis of children with T-ALL is worse than children with B-ALL. WBC≥100×109 /L at initial diagnosis and non-CR after induction (especially mediastinal mass has not disappeared) are the risk factors for poor prognosis. CCCG-ALL 2015 regimen may reduce infection-related SAE and improve efficacy.

AbstractObjective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with MLL gene-rearrangement-positive (MLL-r+ ALL). METHODS: The clinical data of 1 414 newly diagnosed children with ALL admitted to five hospital in Fujian province from April 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics and efficacy of MLL-r+ and MLL-r- subgroup were compared. The prognostic factors of MLL-r ALL were analyzed by COX regression model. RESULTS: Among all children with ALL, the proportion of patients aged less than 1 year old was 1.8%, and the detection rate of MLL-r+ was 3.4% (48/1 414). The positive detection rate of MLL-r in the age groups <1 year old, and ≥1 year old and ≤14 years old was 38.5% (10/26) and 2.7 (38/1 388), respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.000). Compared with MLL-r- group, the MLL-r+ group had a higher proportion of patients with age <1 year, white blood cell (WBC) count ≥50×109/L, combined central nervous system leukemia (CNSL) and testicular leukemia(TL), while MRD <0.01% on d 33 or d 46 of induction chemotherapy was lower (all P<0.05). The expected 10-year event free survival(EFS) rate and overall survival(OS) rate of the MLL-r+ group were significantly lower than those of the MLL-r- group ï¼EFSï¼ 49.9% vs 77.0%ï¼ OS: 55.3% vs 82.9%ï¼ P<0.05). COX regression model analysis showed that age <1 year, minimal residual disease (MRD) ≥0.01% on d 33 or d 46 of induction chemotherapy were independent risk factors for worse OS and EFS in MLL-r+ ALL patients (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Age <1 year old, high WBC, concomitant CNSL and TL are more common in children with MLL-r+ ALL at initial diagnosis, with poor early treatment response and long-term prognosis. Age <1 year old at initial diagnosis and MRD positive after induction chemotherapy may be risk factors for poor prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of upper cervical pedicle and vertebral artery (VA) location in order to improve the safety of transpedicular screw insertion. METHODS: The vertebral arteries on 12 sides of 6 adult pate cadaverous specimens were dissected. The distance between VA and VA groove at the atlas needling point of transpedicle screw, and the distance between VA and the inner edge of axis cervical foramen, and the VA external diameter in axis cervical foramen were measured respectively. RESULTS: The distance between VA and VA groove was (1.96 ± 0.72) mm on the left and (1.99 ± 0.61)mm on the right at the atlas needling point of transpedicle screw, the distance between VA and the inner edge of axis cervical foramen was (2.23 ± 0.43) mm on the left and (2.30 ± 0.39) mm on the right, the VA external diameter in axis cervical foramen was (3.03 ± 0.48) mm on the left and (2.98 ± 0.75) mm on the right. CONCLUSION: It is unlikely to injury VA when the transpedicle screws of upper cervical vertebrae were implanted correctly besides high straddled VA, and the individualization must be performed in the process.
