ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a novel therapeutic regimen for bronchiolitis obliterans sydrome (BOS) affter hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seven patients who had received HSCT and had been diagnosed as BOS were enrolled in this study. They received weekly intravenous injection of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) at a dose of 1 × 10(6)/kg for 4 weeks. Budesonide was given orally at a daily dose of 0.25 g, and salmeterol was inhaled at a dose of 4.5 µg for 3 times per day. Methylprednisolone was given at a dose of 1 mg/(kg·d) for 2 weeks when respiratory failure occured. The dose of methylprednisolone was tapered to 0.25 mg/(kg·d) after 4 weeks and was adjusted according to the occurrence and severity of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The therapy was generally safe and no severe acute toxicity was observed. One patient died of heart failure during the treatment, the other 6 patients were alive and the pulmonary function parameters including FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PaO2 and AaDO2 were significantly improved after 6 months as compared with the baseline parameters (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>MSC combined with budesonide, almeterol and azithromycin has been confirmed to be generally safe and can reduce the dose of glucocorticoid in treatment of BOS after HSCT.</p>
