RESUMEN
Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell malignancy, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only curable treatment. The outcomes after transplant are influenced by both disease characteristics and patient comorbidities. To develop a novel prognostic model to predict the post-transplant survival of CMML patients, we identified risk factors by applying univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression to a derivation cohort. In multivariable analysis, advanced age (hazard ratio [HR] 3.583), leukocyte count (HR 3.499), anemia (HR 3.439), bone marrow blast cell count (HR 2.095), and no chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD; HR 4.799) were independently associated with worse survival. A novel prognostic model termed ABLAG (Age, Blast, Leukocyte, Anemia, cGVHD) was developed and the points were assigned according to the regression equation. The patients were categorized into low risk (0-1), intermediate risk (2, 3), and high risk (4-6) three groups and the 3-year overall survival (OS) were 93.3% (95%CI, 61%-99%), 78.9% (95%CI, 60%-90%), and 51.6% (95%CI, 32%-68%; p < .001), respectively. In internal and external validation cohort, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the ABLAG model were 0.829 (95% CI, 0.776-0.902) and 0.749 (95% CI, 0.684-0.854). Compared with existing models designed for the nontransplant setting, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis showed that the ABLAG model revealed a high consistency between predicted and observed outcomes and patients could benefit from this model. In conclusion, combining disease and patient characteristic, the ABLAG model provides better survival stratification for CMML patients receiving allo-HSCT.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of serum free light chain (sFLC) and serum calcium ion in the diagnosis and prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS: Forty patients with MM treated in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were selected as the observation group, and 40 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. The differences of sFLC-κãsFLC-λãsFLC-κ/λ, serum calcium ions, etc between the two groups were compared. Meanwhile, the differences of sFLC-κãsFLC-λãsFLC-κ/λ, serum calcium ions, etc in different international staging systems (ISS), chemotherapy efficacy and prognosis patients were analyzed.

The area under the ROC curve for sFLC-κ, sFLC-λ, sFLC-κ/λ predicting ineffective chemotherapy was 0.803, 0.793 and 0.699 respectively, P < 0.05. There was no significant difference in sFLC-κ, sFLC-λ, sFLC-κ/λ ratio, serum calcium ion, hypocalcemia ratio and hypocalcemia course between survival and death patients (P >0.05). CONCLUSION: sFLC and serum calcium are related to ISS stage of MM patients. sFLC level has a certain value to predict the curative effect of chemotherapy in MM patients. However, the prognostic values of sFLC and serum calcium are not yet confirmed for MM patients.

Loss and overexpression of FAT1 occurs among different cancers, with these divergent states equated with tumor suppressor and oncogene activity, respectively. Regarding the latter, FAT1 is highly expressed in a high proportion of human acute leukemias relative to normal blood cells, with evidence pointing to an oncogenic role. We hypothesized that this occurrence represents legacy expression of FAT1 in undefined hematopoietic precursor subsets (i.e. sustained following transformation), predicating a role for FAT1 during normal hematopoiesis. We explored this concept by using the Vav-iCre strain to construct conditional knockout mice in which Fat1 expression was deleted at the hematopoietic stem cell stage. Extensive analysis of precursor and mature blood populations using multipanel flow cytometry revealed no ostensible differences between Fat1 conditional knockout mice and normal littermates. Further functional comparisons involving colony-forming unit and competitive bone marrow transplantation assays support the conclusion that Fat1 is dispensable for normal murine hematopoiesis.

Relapsed or refractory (r/r) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive B-cell malignancy with a poor prognosis. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a mediator of B-cell receptor signaling and is associated with the development of B-cell lymphomas. Patients with r/r MCL were enrolled in this phase 1/2 study and treated with orelabrutinib, a novel, highly selective BTK inhibitor. The median number of prior regimens was 2 (range, 1-4). The median age was 62 years (range, 37-73 years). Eligible patients received oral orelabrutinib 150 mg once daily (n = 86) or 100 mg twice daily (n = 20) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. A dose of 150 mg once daily was chosen as the preferred recommended phase 2 dose. After a median follow-up duration of 23.8 months, the overall response rate was 81.1%, with 27.4% achieving a complete response and 53.8% achieving a partial response. The median duration of response and progression-free survival were 22.9 and 22.0 months, respectively. The median overall survival (OS) was not reached, and the rate of OS at 24 months was 74.3%. Adverse events (AEs) occurring in >20% of patients were thrombocytopenia (34.0%), upper respiratory tract infection (27.4%), and neutropenia (24.5%). Grade ≥3 AEs were infrequent and most commonly included thrombocytopenia (13.2%), neutropenia (8.5%), and anemia (7.5%). Three patients discontinued treatment because of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), but no fatal TRAEs were reported. Orelabrutinib showed substantial efficacy and was well tolerated in patients with r/r MCL. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03494179.

Background: Orelabrutinib is a novel, small molecule, selective irreversible Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib in patients with relapsed or refractory Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (R/R WM). Methods: This is a prospective, multicenter study of orelabrutinib in patients with WM who had at least one prior line of treatment. Orelabrutinib was administered orally at a daily dose of 150 mg until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was major response rate (MRR) assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC) according to IWWM-6. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04440059. This trial was also registered on Center for Drug Evaluation (www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn) in March 2019, with a number of CTR2019036. Findings: Between August 2019 and December 2020, 66 R/R WM patients were assessed for eligibility. Forty-seven eligible patients were evaluated for efficacy at a median follow-up of 16.4 months (interquartile range: 12.5, 19.5). As assessed by IRC, the MRR was 80.9%, and the overall response rate was 89.4%. The median time to at least a minor response was 1.9 months. The PFS rates was 89.4% at 12 months. For patients with MYD88L265P /CXCR4NEG, MYD88L265P /CXCR4 S338X, and MYD88NEG /CXCR4NEG mutations, the MRRs were 84.6%, 100%, and 25.0%. Most adverse events were Grades 1 or 2 (91.0%). The common grade 3 or higher adverse events occurring were neutropenia (10.6%), thrombocytopenia (6.4%), and pneumonia (4.3%). Serious adverse events (SAE) occurred in 10 patients (21.3%). One treatment-related death was reported (hepatitis B reactivation). Interpretation: Orelabrutinib has shown good efficacy and manageable safety profiles in patients with R/R WM.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To screen the serum differentially expressed proteins of APL in children. METHODS: Serum protein expression profiles from 20 cases of normal healthy controls, and 20 cases of APL patients were detected by iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification)labeling coupled with two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(2DLC-MS/MS), and analyzed by bioinformatics software. S100A8, LRG1 and SPARC were validated by ELISA. ROC was built by SPSS 20.0 software. RESULTS: Analysis identified 83 differentially expressed proteins in APL serum compared with control according to our defined criteria, of which 33 proteins were up-regulated and 50 proteins were down-regulated (P<0.05)ï¼IPA analysis revealed that these differentially expressed proteins were related to the function of Cellular Movement, Immune Cell Trafficking, Hematological System Development and Function, Cell-To-Cell Signaling and Interaction, Tissue Development, and involved in a variety of signalling Pathways, the most representative pathways including LXR/RXR Activation and Acute Phase Response Signaling. S100A8 and LRG1 were found to be elevated and SPARC was markedly down-regulated in serum of childhood APL when compared to the normal controls as examined by ELISA (P<0.05), which was consistent with the iTRAQ result. The overall predictive accuracy of each protein was reflected by the area under the ROC curve(AUC), S100A8,LRG1 and SPARC with ROC areas of 0.841,1.000 and 0.944 respectively. CONCLUSION: S100A8,LRG1 and SPARC may be serve as serum candidate biomarkers for pediatric APL.

Natural killer/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is an aggressive and heterogeneous entity of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. To identify molecular subtypes of NKTCL based on genomic structural alterations and EBV sequences, we performed multi-omics study on 128 biopsy samples of newly diagnosed NKTCL and defined three prominent subtypes, which differ significantly in cell of origin, EBV gene expression, transcriptional signatures, and responses to asparaginase-based regimens and targeted therapy. Our findings thus identify molecular networks of EBV-associated pathogenesis and suggest potential clinical strategies on NKTCL.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors affecting survival and prognosis of patients with high-risk refractory lymphoma treated with autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-PBHSCT). METHODS: A total of 96 cases of high-risk refractory lymphoma received auto-PBHSCT were selected. The total survival rate after the treatment was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier curve and long rank test, and the prognosis-related factors were analyzed by univariate analysis and COX regression analysis. RESULTS: The median survival time of 96 patients was 30.67 months, and the overall survival rate of 3 and 5 years after treatment was 81.25% and 71.88% respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the patients with high lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) level (>245 U/L), 3-5 scores of international prognostic index(IPI), hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, high expression of Ki-67 (≥65%) and bone marrow infiltration had lower survival rate (P<0.05). COX regression analysis showed that the complete remission wasn't reached before auto-PBHSCT and the consolidation therapy was not carried out after auto-PBHSCT, both of them were the risk factors affecting the prognosis (OR=0.46, 0.12, 95% CI: 0.22-0.95, 0.02-0.82, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Auto-PBHSCT in the treatment of patients with high-risk refractory lymphoma can significantly improve the survival status and prognosis, and the consolidotion therapy should be performed after auto-PBHSCT so as to further improve the long-term survival rate and prolong the survival time.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the anti-myeloma effect of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and on mouse myeloma cell line SP2/0 in vitro and in vivo and its mechanism. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of SAHA on SP2/0 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay,and the apoptosis and cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry FACS. The protein expression of Caspase-3 and p53 of SP2/0 cells treated with SAHA were examined by Western blot. Annexin V/7-AAD double staining was performed to detect the apoptosis of SP2/0 induced by SAHA in vitro. SP2/0 cells (1×106) resuspended in 200 µl PBS were inoculated subcutaneously and intravenously into BALB/c mice, so as to establish aggressive or non-aggressive myeloma-bearing mouse models respectively. On day 3 after modeling, mice received SAHA or vehicle control treatment by intraperitoneal injection. The dose of SAHA was 60 mg/kg·d, 5 times a week for 3 weeks. RESULTS: In SAHA-treated SP2/0 cells, the proliferation inhibition rate and apoptotic cells increased in a dose dependent manner. Also, SAHA significantly increased the ratio of cells in G2 phase and decreased in S phase. Molecular mechanisms of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of SP2/0 induced by SAHA partly correlated with up-regulating the expression level of Caspase-3 and p53. In the non-aggressive myeloma-bearing mice, SP2/0 cells disappeared in peripheral blood after SAHA treatment. In the aggressive myeloma-bearing mice, inhibition of tumor growth and prolongation of the cell survival were observed after SAHA treatment. CONCLUSION: SAHA inhibited SP2/0 cell proliferation, this effect associates with inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, the mechanism of SAHA ralates partly with activating Caspase-3 and p53 pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ATO on the proportion of Treg in the peripheral blood of patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in vitro. METHODS: The peripheral blood of 20 newlydiagnosed patients were collected, and the peripheral blood monomuclear cells (PBMNC) were extracted. After the PBMNC were treated with ATO of different concentrotions (0, 1, 2.5 and 5 µmol/L) for 96 hours, the proportion of CD44+ CD25+CD127low regulatatory T cells (Treg) were detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of Foxp3 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR, and the levels of IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-17 and TGF-ß1 were detected by ELTSA to verify the results of flow cytomery. RESULTS: ATO significantly increased the proportion of Treg (P<0.01) at the concentration of 2.5 and 5 µmol/L, and the rising degree of Treg proportion improved with the increasing ATO concentration(r= 0.524). Treg proportion increased at a concentration of 1 µmol/L, but without statistical significance (P>0.05). At 1(P<0.05), 2.5(P<0.01) and 5 µmol/L(P<0.01), ATO significantly up-regulated the expression of Foxp3 mRNA, and the increase of Foxp3 mRNA positively and linearly correlated with the increase of Treg cell-frequency(r=0.523). ATO significantly reduced the levels of IFN-γ (at ATO 1,2.5 and 5 µmol/L, P<0.01), IL-4 (at ATO 2.5 µmol/L, P<0.01; at ATO 5 µmol/L, P<0.01) and IL-17(at ATO 2.5 µmol/L, P<0.05; at ATO 5 µmol/L, P<0.01). ATO had no significant effect on TGF-ß1 at 1(P>0.05) and 2.5 µmol/L (P>0.05), but significantly reduced TGF-ß1 level at 5 µmol/L (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: ATO can mediate the immune regulation through up-regulating the proportion of Treg in peripheral blood of patients with SAA and reducing the levels of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17.

DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) mutations occurred in 18%~23% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and were considered to be an adverse prognostic factor for adult de novo AML cases. However, the relevant molecular mechanism of the mutation in AML pathogenesis remains obscure. In this study, we established K562 and SKM1 cell model carrying the DNMT3A R882H mutation via transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) and Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) technology, and discovered that mutated DNMT3A could promote the proliferative capability of malignant cell clones. Further RNA microarray analysis revealed that some genes crucial for glutathione (GSH) synthesis, including CTH, PSPH, PSAT1 and especially SLC7A11 (the cysteine/glutamate transporter) were significantly up-regulated, which resulted in significant elevation of intracellular GSH levels. A subsequent experiment demonstrated that the mutant clones are resistant to chemotherapy as well as SLC7A11-inhibitorsBy shRNA induced SLC7A11 silencing, we discovered profoundly decreased cellular GSH and cell proliferative ability of DNMT3A mutated clones. Our results provided novel insight into the role of the DNMT3A R882H mutation in AML pathogenesis and suggested that targeting the cellular GSH synthetic pathway could enhance the current therapy for AML patients with the DNMT3A R882H mutation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of the HCT-CI score in chemotherapy risk assessment and prognosis of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS: The clinical data of 116 AML patients older than 60 years in the department of Hematology, Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2000 to December 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients received cytarabine-based regimens, including protocol DA, MA, IA, AA or CAG, followed by cytarabine-based postremission treatment. (1) Comorbidities were evaluated by using HCT-CI score, the early death rates and median survival time were compared among these different groups. (2) These prognostic factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: (1) All 116 cases were followed-up. The patient cohort was divided into those with HCT-CI scores of 0, 1 or 2, or ≥ 3. Early death rates were 3.7%, 12.1% and 23.21% in above three groups, respectively (P < 0.01). Overall survival were 345, 225 and 113 days, respectively (P < 0.01). (2) HCT-CI score ≥ 3 (P < 0.01), antecedent MDS history (P = 0.035), high-risk karyotype (P = 0.018), white blood cells at diagnosis ≥ 100×10(9)/L (P = 0.041) were independent adverse prognostic factors with multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: (1) The HCT-CI score can objectively assess elderly AML patients with comorbidities and predict chemotherapy risk in older patients receiving AML induction therapy. (2) Antecedent MDS history, high-risk karyotype, high white blood cell, and HCT-CI score ≥ 3 are independent adverse prognostic factors of elderly AML patients.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic value and safety of percutaneous lung biopsy in hematologic patients with lung infection. METHODS: 28 cases hematologic patients received CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy when they developed a fever associated with pulmonary nodules or lumps in CT scan whose clinical diagnosis were unclear during or after chemotherapy. Sample of each lesion were drawn twice. The lung tissue was re-scanned after lung biopsy to check up in order to discover bleeding and pneumothorax. Biopsy tissue was examined by bacteria culture, acid-fast staining and pathology. Pathological examination contained HE staining, acid-fast stain, PAS stain, TB-DNA, methenamine silver and others. RESULTS: 28 cases contain 24 males and 4 females. Median age was 40 15 - 77 years old. Blood tests were as follows: 3 cases with HGB > 110 g/L, 9 with HGB 90 - 110 g/L, 12 with HGB 60 - 89 g/L, 4 with HGB < 60 g/L. 8 with WBC > 10×10(9)/L, 6 with WBC (4 - 10)×10(9)/L, 13 with WBC < 4×10(9)/L, 1 with WBC < 2×10(9)/L; 14 with PLT > 100×10(9)/L, 5 with PLT (50 - 100)×10(9)/L, 5 with PLT < 50×10(9)/L, 4 with PLT < 30×10(9)/L. 4 cases had mild extended PT, 3 mild extended APTT, 3 FIB lower than normal. Lung CT scans were as follows: 4 cases with simply lesion in right lung, 4 with simply lesion in left lung, 20 with lesions in bilateral lung. 8 cases were diagnosed as fungal infection, 3 as tuberculosis infection, 1 as lung cancer, 1 as pulmonary infiltration of lymphoma, 1 as pulmonary infiltration of leukemia, and 14 as inflammatory changes with no specific diagnosis. 4 cases came with pneumothorax during lung biopsy, mild to moderate in 3 cases and severe in 1 case. Severe patient turned better after CT-guided suction. 3 cases with mild hemoptysis turned better after treatment. CONCLUSION: When hematopathy patients are with pulmonary nodules or lumps in CT scan whose clinical diagnosis is unclear, CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy is safe and conducive to early diagnosis and conducive to early rehabilitation of patients if the coagulation function is basically normal and platelet count is not too low.
