Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of polymyxin B in neutropenic patients with hematologic disorders who had refractory gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infection. Methods: From August 2021 to July 2022, we retrospectively analyzed neutropenic patients with refractory gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infection who were treated with polymyxin B in the Department of Hematology of the First Affiliated Hospital of the Soochow University between August 2021 to July 2022. The cumulative response rate was then computed. Results: The study included 27 neutropenic patients with refractory gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections. Polymyxin B therapy was effective in 22 of 27 patients. The median time between the onset of fever and the delivery of polymyxin B was 3 days [interquartile range (IQR) : 2-5]. The median duration of polymyxin B treatment was 7 days (IQR: 5-11). Polymyxin B therapy had a median antipyretic time of 37 h (IQR: 32-70). The incidence of acute renal dysfunction was 14.8% (four out of 27 cases), all classified as "injury" according to RIFLE criteria. The incidence of hyperpigmentation was 59.3%. Conclusion: Polymyxin B is a viable treatment option for granulocytopenia patients with refractory gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections.

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the diagnostic value of (1, 3) -β-D-glucan and galactomannan (GM) tests in the patients with acute leukemia complicated by invasive fungal disease, and explore the application of serological detection (G/GM) and lung CT for early diagnosis of invasive fungal disease (IFD).@*METHODS@#A total of 493 patients with acute leukemia complicated by high risk invasive fungal infection, also receival G and GM tests, in Department of hematology of our hospital from June 2016 to December 2016 were selected and were divided into IFD-confirmed group (62 cases) including confirmed and clinical diagnesed IFD, and IFD-unconfirmed group (431 cases) including suspected IFD and non-IFD according to the diagnostic criteria of IFD. The results of G and GM tests in patients of 2 groups were analyzed, then the diagnostic efficacy of G and GM done and combination evaluated. In addition, 26 patients whose lung CT negative at hospitalization, moreover, presentation of changes in lung by CT during hospitalization and serological G and GM test positive were selected, and the difference of time between serological that postive and presentation of changes in lung by CT were compared for the estimation of early diagnotic value.@*RESULTS@#The positive rate of (1, 3) -β-D-glucan in IFD-confirmed group and IFD-unconfirmed group was 56.5% and 10.4%, respectively. Meanwhile, that of galactomannan test was 41.9% and 9.0%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of (1, 3) -β-D-glucan was 56%, 90%, 44% and 92%, and that of galactomannan was 42%、91%、40% and 93%, respectively. Moreover, the combination of (1, 3) -β-D-glucan and galactomannan could raise the sensitivity to 69% and specificity to 98%. The positive results of serological detection (G/GM) come earlier about five days than CT changes.@*CONCLUSION@#Both (1, 3) -β-D-glucan and galactomannan test have high sensitivity and specificity, and the combination of them can improve the diagnostic efficacy, and make the clinical antifungal therapy more precisely. In the early clinical diagnosis of IFD, the positive results of serological detection coming earlier than lung CT.

@#]Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of induction regimens containing arsenite, allo-transretinoic acid (ATRA) and anthracyclines of different doses as induction chemotherapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 129 consecutive hospitalized newly diagnosed APL patients from January 2011 to December 2017 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Sixty-six patients received arsenite, ATRA and anthracyclines of low doses (low dose group), while other 63 patients received arsenite, ATRA and anthracyclines of standard doses (standard dose group), the efficacy and safety were compared and analyzed in 2 groups.@*RESULTS@#There were no statistically significant differences in terms of age, sex, routine blood indexes,LDH level, bone marrow promyelocyte count,prognostic stratification between patients in two groups (P>0.05). During the treatment, WBC count peak and its time point were not significantly different between two groups (P>0.05). Both induction regimens showed good efficacy, the PML-RARα gene conversion rate from positive into negative, the 2-year overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate in the low-dose group were similar to those in the standard dose group(P>0.05). The recovery time of neutrophils and platelets in the low-dose group was 0 d and 11 d, respectively, which were statistically significantly shorter than those in the standard dose group (3 d,15 d) (both P=0.000). The median value of platelet and erythrocyte transfusion in the low-dose group was 6.9 U and 4.2 U, respectively, which were statistically significantly lower than that in the standard dose group (8.4 U,6.8 U) (P=0.037,0.000). And the inpatient time in the low and the standard dose groups were 30.98 and 30.71 days, respectively (P=0.770).@*CONCLUSION@#For newly diagnosed patients with APL, the efficacy was similar between induction therapy containing arsenite,ATRA and low dose anthracyclines and the induction therapy containing arsenite, ATRA and standard dose anthracyclines, however, the former appears even safer.

Objective: To compare the outcomes between haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) and matched-sibling donor transplantation (MSD-HSCT) for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) . Methods: The clinical data of 40 PNH patients received HSCT (haplo-HSCT=25, MSD-HSCT=15) from July 2007 to May 2018 were analyzed retrospectively to compare the outcomes between haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. Results: There were no differences in terms of gender, age, patients of PNH-AA and median time from diagnosis to transplantation between the 2 groups (P>0.05) . The median values of absolute mononuclear cell counts and CD34+ cells infused were 10.74 (4.80-22.86) ×108/kg and 12.19 (5.14-17.25) ×108/kg (P=0.866) , 3.57 (0.68-7.80) ×106/kg and 4.00 (3.02-8.42) ×106/kg (P=0.151) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. All patients attained complete engraftment, no patient occurred graft failure. The median durations for myeloid and platelet engraftment were 12 (range, 9-26) and 11 (range, 7-15) days (P=0.065) , 19 (range, 11-75) and 13 (range, 11-25) days (P=0.027) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. During a median follow-up of 26 (4-65) months in haplo-HSCT and 36 (4-132) months in MSD-HSCT groups (P=0.294) , the incidences of grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) were 32.0% and 20.0% (P=0.343) , grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD were 16.0%, 13.3% (P=0.759) , chronic GVHD were 30.7% and 24.6% (P=0.418) , moderate-severe chronic GVHD were 12.7% and 7.1% (P=0.522) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. The incidences of infection were 32.0% (8/25) and 26.7% (4/15) (P=1.000) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. No patients occurred early death and relapse. Three-year estimated overall survival (OS) were (86.5±7.3) % and (93.3 ±6.4) % (P=0.520) , GVHD-free and failure-free survival (GFFS) were (78.3±8.6) % and (92.9±6.9) % (P=0.250) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. Conclusion: The preliminary results indicated that haplo-HSCT was a feasible choice for PNH with favorable outcomes, haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT produced similar therapeutic efficacy.

Objective: To compare the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria-aplastic anemia (PNH-AA) syndrome. Methods: The outcomes of 46 patients who received allo-HSCT (16 PNH patients, 30 PNH-AA patients) from July 10, 2007 to June 2, 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The conditioning regimen was busulfan, cyclophosphoramide, and ATG in haploidentical donors and unrelated donors. Patients with matched sibling donors were treated with the fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and ATG regimen. Results: There were no differences of baseline data between the 2 groups except gender distribution and the numbers of haploidentical donor transplantation. The median values of absolute nucleated cell counts were 10.58 (3.83-13.83) ×10(8)/kg in the PNH group and 10.81 (3.96-33.40) ×10(8)/kg in the PNH-AA group (P=0.668) . The median doses of CD34(+) cells infused were 5.00 (3.14-8.42) ×10(6)/kg and 3.57 (1.97-6.17) ×10(6)/kg (P=0.002) , respectively. All patients obtained complete engraftment. The median time for myeloid engraftment were 11 (7-14) days in the PNH group and 12 (10-26) days in the PNH-AA group (P=0.003) . The median time for platelet engraftment were 13 (11-16) days and 18 (12-75) days (P=0.002) , respectively, after a median follow-up of 36 (4-132) months in the PNH group and 26 (4-75) months in the PNH-AA group (P=0.428) . There were no differences of incidence rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) , chronic GVHD and infection between PNH and PNH-AA groups (P>0.05) . No patient occurred early death and relapse. The estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) of PNH and PNH-AA groups were (100.0±0.0) % and (85.7± 6.6) % (P=0.141) , GVHD-free and failure-free survival (GFFS) were (100.0±0.0) %, (78.7±7.7) % (P=0.067) . Conclusions: allo-HSCT is effective for patients with PNH and PNH-AA syndrome. The preliminary results indicate that myeloid and platelet engraftment in PNH group were faster than PNH-AA group. There were no differences in OS and GFFS between PNH group and PNH-AA group.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of sequential treatment with first-line administration of second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and first-generation TKI (imatinib) in patients with Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical features and prognosis of 76 newly diagnosed Ph +ALL patients from June 2011 to December 2015 treated by allo-HSCT combined with first-line administration of second-generation or first-generation TKI was performed and the efficacy compared. Results: Of 76 Ph+ ALL patients, first-generation TKI was administered in 57 cases, second-generation TKI in 19 cases, including 10 cases of nilotinib and 9 cases of dasatinib. There was no significant difference in age, WBC counts, additional chromosomal abnormalities, time form diagnosis to transplantation, transplantation type, conditioning regimen or TKI initiation time between the two groups. Complete remission (CR) rates at the fourth week of induction therapy in first-generation TKI group and second-generation TKI group was 93.0% and 94.7% (P=1.000), respectively. Major molecular response (MMR, BCR-ABL/ABL reduce 3 log) rates meanwhile were 46.0% and 40.0% (χ2=0.169, P=0.681). Relapse rates before transplantation were 14.0% and 10.5% (P=1.000). MMR rates before transplantation were 54.4% and 68.2% (χ2=1.152, P=0.283). The 2-year overall survival (OS) rates of first-generation and second-generation TKI group were 62.0% and 94.7% (χ2=5.765, P=0.016), 2-year event-free survival (EFS) rates were 46.3% and 84.2% (χ2=5.644, P=0.018), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that second-generation TKI could improve OS (HR=0.126, 95%CI 0.017-0.939, P=0.043). Multiple factors analysis showed that second-generation TKI (HR=0.267, 95%CI 0.081-0.873, P=0.029) and MMR before transplantation (HR=0.496, 95%CI 0.254-0.968, P=0.040) were good independent prognostic factors of EFS. Conclusions: There was significant difference in the efficacy of second-generation TKI and first-generation TKI for Ph+ ALL patients treated by allo-HSCT. First-line administration of second-generation TKI showed better efficacy than that of first-generation TKI for Ph+ ALL patients.

Objective: To study the specific killing effect of CD4 membrane protein targeted chimeric antigen receptor modified T (CAR-T) cell. Methods: The second generation CD4 targeted chimeric antigen receptor containing 4-1BB costimulation domain was insert into lentiviral vector through recombinant DNA technology. Lentivirus was prepared and packaged by 293T cells with four plasmids. Beads activated T cells were transduced with lentivirus and the transduction efficiency was checked with Protein L and flow cytometry. T cell subsets and IFN-γ concentrations were detected with probe-tagged antibody and cytometric bead assay. Results: ①The transduction efficiency of activated T cells with prepared lentivirus were 50.0%-70.0%. A subset of CD8+ T cell acquired dim expression of CD4 membrane protein after activation. CD4+T cell and CD8+CD4dim T cell were gradually killed by CD4 targeted CAR-T post lentivirus transduction. ②The kill efficacy of CD4 targeted CAR-T cell and control T cell toward KARPAS 299 T cell at an E∶T ratio of 8∶1 for 24 h was (96.9±2.1)% and (11.2±3.1)%, CAR-T cell has a higher killing efficacy than control T cell (t=7.137, P=0.028). The IFN-γ concentrations in culture supernatant of CAR-T cell with K562-CD4 cell, CAR-T cell with K562 cell and CAR-T cell alone were (15 648±2 168), (1 978±354) and (1 785±268) pg/ml, CAR-T cell cocultured with K562-CD4 cell produced more IFN-γ than the other two controls (P<0.01). Conclusions: CD4 targeted CAR-T has an immunophenotype of CD8+CD4-T cell. CD4 targeted CAR-T cell has killing efficacy toward normal CD4+T cell and CD4+T lymphoma cell. CD4 targeted CAR-T cell also has a killing efficacy toward CD4dim target cell.

Objective: To probe the feasibility of decitabine (DAC) combined with micro-transplantation as consolidation treatment for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods: Between November 2012 and September 2015, 37 consecutive patients with AML ≥60 years of age were analyzed. Of them, 19 patients received consolidation therapy with DAC followed by micro-transplantation (microtransplant group). Another 18 ones (chemo group) were treated with DAC plus priming regimen as consolidation chemotherapy in the same period. Results: There were no significant differences in terms of age, WBC count, and disease status of onset between the microtransplant and chemo groups (P>0.05). The two regimens were well tolerated. There was no difference of CTC grade 3-4 nonhematologic toxicities between the microtransplant and chemo groups (36.8% vs 27.8%, χ(2)=0.347, P=0.728). The median recovery durations for neutrophil and platelet in the microtransplant group were similar to those in the chemo group (12 vs 13 days, z=1.599, P=0.110; 14 vs 12 days, z=-1.314, P=0.189, respectively). No graft-versus-host disease was observed in the microtransplant group. The 2-year leukemia-free survival and overall survival were better in microtransplant group (50.7% and 54.9%, respectively) than in chemo group (24.3% and 30.0%, respectively) (P=0.047 and P=0.071, respectively). Conclusion: DAC combined with micro-transplantation as a consolidation regimen may be a safe and promising option for older patients with AML.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of combination of haploidentical donor (HID) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with an unrelated cord blood unit for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Methods: The clinical data of 127 SAA patients [including 74 male and 53 female patients, 65 very severe aplastic anemia (vSAA), the median age as 23.5(3-54) years] received HID-HSCT from September 2011 to April 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The median interval from SAA diagnosis to transplantation was 2 (0.5-180) months. The conditioning was modified Bu/Cy+ATG/ALG-based (Busulfan + cyclophosphamide + antithymocyte immunoglobulin/antilymphocyte immunoglobulin) regimen. Cord blood units were selected based on the results of HLA typing and cell doses evaluated before freezing. Units with at least 4/6 matched HLA loci became the candidates. Prophylaxis for graft-versus host disease (GVHD) was by cyclosporine (CsA), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) plus short-term methotrexate (MTX). Results: The median values of absolute nucleated cell counts were 10.87 (3.61-24.00)×10(8)/kg in the haploidentical grafts and 2.22 (1.10-7.30)×10(7)/kg in the cord blood units, respectively. The median doses of CD34(+) cells infused were 3.49(1.02-8.89) ×10(6)/kg in the haploidentical grafts and 0.56 (0.16-2.27) ×10(5)/kg in the cord blood units, respectively. Of the 127 patients, 5 patients occurred early death, one patient occurred primary graft failure. All 121 surviving patients attained complete haploidentical engraftment. The median durations of myeloid engraftment were 11 (9-28) days and 15 (9-330) days for platelets, with a cumulative platelet engraftment incidence of 96.1%. The incidence of infection was 58.27% (74/127). During a median follow-up of 20.5 (4-60) months, the incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD was 24.79% (30/121), moderate-severe chronic GVHD was 14.15% (15/106), 4-year estimated overall survival was (78.5±4.3) %, 4-year estimated failure-free survival was (77.4±4.3) %, respectively. Conclusion: Combination of HID-HSCT and an unrelated umbilical cord blood unit was a feasible choice with favorable outcome for SAA patients without matched donors.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of first-line administration of generic dasatinib or first-generation TKI (imatinib) in patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph(+) ALL) treated by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods: Clinical features and prognoses of 63 newly diagnosed Ph(+) ALL patients from Jan 2014 to June 2017 treated by HSCT combined with first-line administration of generic dasatinib or imatinib were retrospective analyzed. Results: Of 63 Ph(+) ALL patients, 31 cases were administered generic dasatinib, and the other 32 ones imatinib. Complete remission (CR) rates at the fourth week of induction therapy in generic dasatinib and imatinib groups were 96.8% and 93.8% (P=1.000) , respectively. Meanwhile major molecular response (MMR; BCR-ABL/ABL reduce 3log) rates were 41.9% and 43.8% (χ(2)=0.021, P=0.884), respectively. Relapse rates before transplantation were 6.5% and 12.5% (P=0.672), respectively. MMR rates before HSCT were 83.9% and 68.8% (χ(2)=1.985, P=0.159), respectively. The 20-monthes overall survival (OS) rates of generic dasatinib and imatinib groups were 95.5% and 76.5% (χ(2)=0.990, P=0.320) respectively; 20-monthes event-free survival (EFS) rates were 93.5% and 61.4% (χ(2)=5.926, P=0.015), respectively. Statistically significant differences of EFS were reached. Multiple factors analysis showed that generic dasatinib (HR=0.201, 95% CI 0.045-0.896, P=0.035) and MMR before transplantation (HR=0.344, 95% CI 0.124-0.956, CI=0.041) could improve EFS. Conclusions: First-line administration of generic dasatinib could improve EFS for Ph(+)ALL patients treated by HSCT when compered with imatinib.

This study was purposed to investigate the clinical value of HLA matching(low and high resolution) and its effect on outcome of the patients received umbilical cord blood transplantation(UCBT). Sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP) , sequence-based typing (SBT) and sequence-specific primers(SSP) were used to perform high resolution HLA matching for HLA-A, -B, -Cw, -DRB1, -DQB1 and low resolution for HLA-A, B, DRB1 among 34 patients with hematologic malignancies who received unrelated UCB transplantation and grafts. The effects of HLA matching (low or high resolution ) on leading engraftment, hematopoietic reconstitution, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and infection after UCB transplantation were analyzed by comparison. The results showed that the median of total nucleated cells (TNC) of transplanted cord blood was 6.0×10(7)/kg, The time of neutrophil recovery was significantly shortened when more than 5×10(7)/kg TNC were transplanted (P < 0.05). The HLA-(6-10)/10 group of high resolution HLA matching was better than the HLA (4-5)/10 group in the respect of leading engraftment, the time of platelet recovery and the rate of acute GVHD (P < 0.05). In contrast, HLA-I+II locus, HLA-DRB1 or HLA-DQB1 locus mismatch could prolong the platelet engraftment time (P < 0.05). There was statistical difference in the time of platelet recovery, the rate of acute GVHD between the HLA (5-6)/6 group of low resolution HLA matching and the HLA (3-4)/6 group after UCB transplantation (P < 0.05), but the mismatch locus of HLA with low resolution did not correlate with the time of platelet recovery (P > 0.05). It is concluded that the high resolution HLA matching between patients received unrelated UCB transplantation and grafts may contribute to select the better UCB, that has important clinical value to promote hematopoietic reconstitution and to reduce the complications after UCB transplantation.

This study was purposed to investigate the changes of von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity and vWF antigen level in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) before and after treatment and evaluate their clinical significance. Seventy-three AML patients were enrolled in this study, the sodium citrate anticoagulated plasma was collected before and after their induction chemotherapy. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer substrate vWF73 (FRETS-vWF73) assay was established to detect the plasma ADAMTS13 activity while vWF antigen level was measured by ELISA. The results showed that the ADAMTS13 activity in newly diagnosed patients with AML before induction therapy was obviously lower than that in normal controls (63.3 ± 25.5)% vs (105.1 ± 37.7)(P < 0.01), while the vWF antigen level was higher than that in normal controls (226.6 ± 127.0)% vs (111.4 ± 39.7)% (P < 0.01). After standard induction chemotherapy, the ADAMTS13 activity of AML patients in complete remission period was higher than that in AML patients before therapy (P < 0.01), and was not significant difference with that in normal controls; the vWF antigen was significantly lower than that in AML patients before therapy (P < 0.01), but it still was higher than that in controls (P < 0.05). The ADAMTS13 activity in newly diagnosed AML patients complicated with infection before therapy was obviously lower than that in AML patients without infection (52.2 ± 20.6)% vs (73.9 ± 24.7)% (P < 0.01), while the vWF antigen level was significantly higher than that in AML patients without infection (262.2 ± 135.7)% vs (193.8 ± 110.2)% (P < 0.05). The ADAMTS13 activity in AML patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was significantly lower than that in AML patients without DIC (42.0 ± 14.5)% vs (73.4 ± 22.7)% (P < 0.01), while the vWF antigen level was obviously higher that in AML patients without DIC (274.2 ± 140.0)% vs (204.7 ± 115.5)% (P < 0.01). It is concluded that the ADAMTS13 activity in newly diagnosed AML patients befor induction therapy has been confiremed to be lower and the vWF antigen level to be higher, especially in AML patients with infection or DIC. The ADAMTS13 and vWF antigen may play a role in the pathogenesis of AML and the formation of infection and DIC.

This study was purposed to explore the correlation of regenerating Islet-derived 3-alpha(Reg3α) protein level in plasma with the diagnosis and prognosis of the gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (GI-aGVHD) after all-HSCT, 103 patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) were observed in our hospital from December 2011 to December 2012. Peripheral blood samples were routinely collected at 9 d before allo-HSCT, 0 d, 14 d, 28 d after allo-HSCT as well as in aGVHD and at the 1 and 4 weeks after aGVHD therapy. The plasma concentrations of Reg3α were measured by using ELISA kit. The results indicated that among the 103 patients, 17 cases never developed aGVHD symptoms (no-aGVHD), 27 cases presented with non-aGVHD associated diarrhea, 10 cases presented with isolated skin aGVHD, 17 cases developed grades I-II GI-aGVHD, 32 cases with grades III-IV GI-aGVHD. The plasma concentrations of Reg3α in group of patients with GI-aGVHD and group of non-aGVHD diarrhea were 111.5 (54.7-180.2) and 23.9 (14.5-89.5) ng/ml respectively with significant difference (P < 0.001). The plasma concentrations of Reg3α in 17 patients of grades III-IV GI-aGVHD who experienced a complete or partial response and 7 patients who had no response to therapy at 4 weeks were 137.2(51.7-205.4) and 679.4(122.3-896.8) ng/ml respectively with the significant difference (P = 0.028). All of the patients who had no response to therapy died of aGVHD associated multiple organ failure. The area under the ROC curve was 0.902 when plasma concentration of Reg3α was set at 87.73 ng/ml. The sensitivity was 81.48% and the specificity was 82.86% when the critical value was used in diagnosis of grades III-IV GI-aGVHD. The probability of grades III-IV GI-aGVHD had statistical difference above and below 87.73 ng/ml after allo-HSCT (P < 0.001). It is concluded that the increase of plasma Reg3α level after transplantation suggests the incidence of grades III-IV GI-aGVHD. The high level of plasma Reg3α protein in patients with grades III-IV GI-aGVHD after the immunosuppressive treatment for four weeks indicates a poor prognosis. The plasma concentrations of Reg3α can be used as a specific biomarker of GI-aGVHD.

This study was purposed to investigate the engraftment, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), transplantation related mortality (TRM), relapse and survival in hematologic patients received unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). A total of 25 patients with hematological disease underwent UCBT, including 8 pediatric and 17 young adult patients. Among them 3 cases received single unit of UCBT and 22 cases received double units of UCBT. For donor/recipients human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching: HLA 6/6 loci matched in 9 cases, HLA 4-5/6 loci matched in 16 cases. There were 19 patients with hematologic malignancies, including 3 cases in the period of disease progression and 6 cases of non-hematologic malignancies. Conditioning regimens were TBI/Cy ± Flu ± ATG or BuCy ± Flu ± ATG for 21 patients and Cy+Flu+ATG for 4 patients. For prophylaxis of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) the regimen of cyclosporine (CsA) as dominant drug was used. The results showed that among 16 patients (80.0%) achieved engraftment, 20 patients survived for more than 42 d after transplantation. The cumulative neutrophil recovery rate on day 42 after transplant was 64.0%, with a median time of 17.0 d;the cumulative platelet recovery rate on day 100 after transplant was 60.0 %, with a median time of 35.0 d. The cumulative rate of grade II-IV and III-IV aGVHD after transplantation 100 d was 44.0% and 30.7%, respectively. Until the end of the follow-up, the cumulative rate of TRM was 54.3%. For all the patients, overall survival rate was 42.7%. Out of 17 evaluable patients with hematologic malignancies 7 cases (41.2%) survived to date, and only 1 case relapsed, so event-free survival rate was 35.3%. Out of 5 evaluable patients with non-hematologic malignancies, 4 patients survived and 2 patients were in stable engraftment state, 2 cases with autologous hematopoietic recovery. Among 3 cases of hematologic malignancies at advanced stage, only 1 case survived to date. It is concluded that HLA-4-6/6 loci matched UCBT is an effective option to treat hematological diseases. Double cord blood transplantation (dUCBT) can overcome the disadvantage of insufficient cells of single cord blood UCBT to treat overweight children and adult.

This study was purposed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (URD-HSCT) for patients with high risk and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Twenty-two patients with high-risk and refractory AML receive URD-HSCT were enrolled in this study. All the patients received myeloablative preconditioning regimen consisting of busulfan/cyclophosphamide (for 20 cases) or total body irradiation/cyclophosphamide (for 2 cases) before URD-HSCT. The cyclosporin A (CsA)/MTX/MMF/ATG were used to prevent the acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD). The results showed that 21 out of 22 patients acquired engraftment with implantation rate 95.5%. The median time of ANC ≥ 0.5×10(9)/L was 12 (10-19) days, and that of Plt ≥ 20×10(9)/L was 14 (5 - 22) days. The median follow-up time post transplantation was 18 (3 to 135.5) months. The 2-year overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) were (53.9 ± 12.2) % and (49.1 ± 10.7)% respectively. Eight cases developed aGVHD. The cumulative incidence of aGVHD was (39.1 ± 10.6) %. Six patients developed I-II grade of aGVHD and two patients developed III-IV grade of aGVHD. The chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) was occurred in 6 patients (4 patients limited, 2 patients extensive) of the 19 evaluable patients. The cumulative incidence was (28.8 ± 9.6)%. Seven cases relapsed, and the cumulative response rate of 2 years was (35.8 ± 11) %. One of 9 patients died from sepsis before hematopoietic reconstruction, one died from lung infection, Six died from relapse and one relapsed patient died from IV grade of aGVHD post chemotherapy and donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). The univariate analysis revealed that relapse was the major factor for the OS, and the sex, age, preconditioning regimen, aGVHD and infection didn't significantly influence the efficacy of URD-HSCT. The survival of patients with cGVHD was superior to those who didn't have cGVHD (83.3% vs 37%, P = 0.152). It is concluded that URD-HSCT is a safe and effective therapy for high-risk AML patients without related donor. Notably, patients with cGVHD had a better survival. Relapse is an unfavourable factor for the efficacy of URD-HSCT and adoptive immunotherapy such as DLI can prevent it and improve the prognosis to achieve the long-time survival.

This study was aimed to analyze the survival status of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and to investigate the influence of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT), different pathological types, International Prognosis Idex (IPI) on prognosis. One hundred and sixteen cases of DLBCL were analyzed retrospectively. The treatment efficacy of R-CHOP alone and R-CHOP combined with auto-HSCT as well as the influence of different immunopathologic types, IPI, hypersensitive C-reactive protein (HSCRP), α-hydroxybutyric acid deaminase (HBDH) on the prognosis of DLBCL patients including overall survival (OS) rate, progression-free survival (PFS) rate were analyzed. The results indicated that the 5-year OS for all patients was 72.4%. in which 30 patients with Ann Arbor staging III-IV received auto-HSCT plus R-CHOP. The prognosis of the 30 patients was better than that of 86 cases received R-CHOP chemotherapy alone (5-year OS was 82.5% vs 69.0%, 5-year PFS was 77.1% vs 68.3%) (P < 0.05). The prognosis of patients in germinal center B-cell-like group (GCB group) was better than that of patients in activated B-cell-like group (ABC group). Some clinical features were associated with poor prognosis including OS and PFS, such as age, B symptoms, IPI scores, the level of LDH, HSCRP and HBDH (P < 0.05) in which the level of LDH, age ≥ 60 years and B symptoms were independent prognostic factors in DLBCL patients (P < 0.05). It is concluded that auto-HSCT combined with R-CHOP can improve the long-term survival of DLBCL patients. The prognosis of patients in GCB group is better than that of patients in the ABC group. The clinical features such as age, B symptoms, IPI scores and LDH are associated with prognosis.

This study was aimed to explore whether multiple common gene mutations of leukemia synergistically involved in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) pathogenesis, and to investigate their relevance to clinical features, cytogenetics and molecular risk stratification. 84 specimens of admitted de novo APL patients from February 2005 to October 2010 were collected, the gene mutations of bone marrow mononuclear cells and clinical features of mutation-positive patients were analyzed by genomic DNA-PCR. The results indicated that the prevalence of mutations was 60.7% (51/84), in which the mutations with the highest incidence were found as FLT3-ITD, reaching 27.4% (23/84). Next, there were 12 cases WT1 mutation, 9 for FLT3-TKD, 7 for TET2, 5 for N-RAS, 4 for ASXL1, 2 for EZH2 mutation and 1 positive case in MLL-PTD, IDH1 and CBL mutation respectively. No mutation was found in other JAK1, DNMT3, c-Kit, NPM1, IDH2, RUNX1 and JAK2 (V617F) common leukemia-related genes. Combined analysis with clinical data demonstrated that the patients with FLT3-ITD mutation displayed higher white blood cell counts, while the patients with N-RAS mutation showed lower platelet counts. Overall survival of these patients was obviously shorten as compared with patients with wild-type. This difference between mutant and wild-type of all above mentioned cases was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The difference between APL with simple t (15;17) and additional abnormal karyotype was not statistically significant. It is concluded that the FLT3-ITD mutation is recurrent genetic change in APL, and together with N-RAS mutation indicates poor prognosis. Additional abnormal karyotype does not associate with prognosis of APL.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore efficacy of imatinib for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia(CML) and its resistance-related factors during the treatment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 214 CML patients received imatinib were analyzed respectively in our hospital from April 2005 to December 2010. The therapy history and efficacy of regular follow-up and factors influencing drug resistance were analyzed. COX regression analysis was used to perform the univariate and multivariate analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Until the end of follow up, thirty-one patients (14.5%) occurred drug resistance. One of them was in accelerated phase(AP), and two in blast phase(BP); 69.2% of patients achieved a complete cytogenetic response(CCyR), and 31.3% of patients achieved a major molecular response(MMR). COX analysis was performed in 207 chronic phase(CP) patients. Univariate analysis showed that the course of disease before treatment, the hemoglobin count, the white blood cell count, whether achieved CCyR or not and whether achieved MMR or not were the influencing factors for imatinib resistance. Multivariate analysis showed that whether achieved CCyR or not was the independent factor for drug resistance.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Whether achieved CCyR or not is an independent factor and also a protective factor for imatinib resistance in patients with CML.</p>
