RESUMO
This retrospective study analysed 106 acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients undergoing autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) to assess the impact of multiple small-dose infusions of granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized haploidentical lymphocytes as post-ASCT maintenance therapy. Among them, 50 patients received lymphocyte maintenance therapy, 21 received alternative maintenance therapy, and 35 received no maintenance therapy. Patients receiving lymphocyte maintenance therapy demonstrated significantly higher overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) compared to those without maintenance therapy, with 4-year OS and DFS rates notably elevated. While there were no significant differences in recurrence rates among the three groups, lymphocyte maintenance therapy showcased particular benefits for intermediate-risk AML patients, yielding significantly higher OS and DFS rates and lower relapse rates compared to alternative maintenance therapy and no maintenance therapy. The study suggests that multiple small-dose infusions of G-CSF-mobilized haploidentical lymphocytes may offer promising outcomes for AML patients after ASCT, particularly for those classified as intermediate-risk. These findings underscore the potential efficacy of lymphocyte maintenance therapy in reducing disease relapse and improving long-term prognosis in this patient population.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an important treatment for T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL). To compare the efficacy and influencing factors of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) with those of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from different donors for the treatment of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL) and provide a basis for selection of appropriate transplant methods and donors. Methods: To provide evidence of appropriate transplant methods for these patients, we retrospectively summarized the clinical characteristics of 75 T-LBL patients receiving HSCT at Henan Cancer Hospital between March 2012 and October 2021. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), non-relapse mortality (NRM), and related factors affecting efficacy were analyzed. Results: The 3-year CIR (39.9% vs 31.1%, P=0.745), 3-year PFS (60.1% vs 49.6%, P=0.434), and 3-year OS (62.8% vs 53.0%, P=0.450) were not significantly different between the auto-HSCT and allo-HSCT groups. However, the 3-year NRM was significantly higher in the allo-HSCT group (0% vs 27.2%, P=0.033). Multivariate analysis showed that the first complete remission (CR1) after HSCT was an independent influencing factor of higher OS (HR=2.498, P=0.029) and PFS (HR=2.576, P=0.016). The absence of mediastinal invasion in patients receiving HSCT was an independent influencing factor of better PFS (HR=2.977, P=0.029) and lower CIR (HR=4.040, P=0.027). With respect to the impact of donor source, the NRM in the unrelated donor (URD) and haploid donor (HPD) groups was significantly higher than that in the auto-HSCT group (P=0.021 and P=0.003, respectively), while there was no significant difference between matched sibling donors (MSD) and auto-HSCT. Compared with the MSD-HSCT group, the auto-HSCT group showed an increasing trend in 3-year CIR (39.9 ± 11.1% vs 32.6 ± 11.2%, P=0.697) and a lower trend in 3-year OS (62.8 ± 11.4% vs 64.4 ± 12.2%, P=0.929). Conclusions: HSCT is an effective consolidation treatment option for patients with T-LBL without mediastinal invasion and with CR1 before transplantation. For CR1 patients, auto-HSCT and MSD-HSCT are effective modalities for improving survival. In non-CR1 patients without an MSD, matched unrelated donors and haploidentical donor transplantations are the best treatment options to reduce relapse and improve prognosis.
RESUMO
Liver fibrosis is a wound-healing response due to persistent liver damage and it may progress to cirrhosis and even liver cancer if no intervention is given. In the current cognition, liver fibrosis is reversible. So, it is of great significance to explore the related gene targets or biomarker for anti-fibrosis of liver. Insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) are mainly expressed in the liver tissues and play critical roles in the liver function. The present review summarized the role of IGF1/IGF1R and its signaling system in liver fibrosis and illustrated the potential mechanisms including DNA damage repair, cell senescence, lipid metabolism and oxidative stress that may be involved in this process according to the studies on the fibrosis of liver or other organs. In particular, the roles of IGF1 and IGF1R in DNA damage repair were elaborated, including membrane-localized and nucleus-localized IGF1R. In addition, for each of the potential mechanism in anti-fibrosis of liver, the signaling pathways of the IGF1/IGF1R mediated and the cell species in liver acted by IGF1 and IGF1R under different conditions were included. The data in this review will support for the study about the effect of IGF1/IGF1R on liver fibrosis induced by various factors, meanwhile, provide a basis for the study of liver fibrosis to focus on the communications between the different kinds of liver cells.
RESUMO
Background: Whether autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) improves the survival of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) remains controversial. Some studies have demonstrated that the efficacy of ASCT is superior in patients with complete remission (CR), whereas patients with partial remission (PR) remain vulnerable to relapse after ASCT, resulting in decreased survival rates. Maintenance therapy after chemotherapy may reduce the relapse rate of PTCL and improve survival; however, the role of maintenance therapy after ASCT in PTCL remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to analyze the efficacy of ASCT and post-transplant maintenance therapy in PTCL. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 69 patients with PTCL who underwent ASCT at our center between November 2001 and November 2021. According to the patients' intention, thirty patients received post-transplant maintenance treatment, whereas 39 did not. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between the groups were compared using the log-rank test. Results: At a median follow-up of 36 months, the entire cohort's 3-year OS and PFS were 67.8% and 53.0%, respectively. The 3-year OS and PFS of patients with CR1, CR2, and PR were 85.3% and 65.4%, 80.0% and 60.0%, and 38.4% and 32.0%, respectively (OS: P=0.001; PFS: P=0.003). The relapse rates between the groups with or without maintenance therapy were 26.7% vs. 52.2%, the 3-year OS was 86.0% vs. 54.2% (P=0.004), and the 3-year PFS was 73.3% vs. 37.5% (P=0.004). Further analysis revealed that the efficacy of maintenance therapy was not significant in patients with CR1 and CR2, whereas patients with PR benefited from maintenance therapy. The relapse rate of patients with PR who received or did not receive maintenance therapy was 33.3% vs. 78.7%, 3-year OS was 66.7% vs. 21.9% (P=0.007), and 3-year PFS was 66.7% vs. 12.5% (P=0.004). Conclusions: Patients with CR in PTCL benefit from ASCT, and post-transplant maintenance therapy reduces the relapse rate and significantly improves OS and PFS in patients with PR.
RESUMO
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers, with a high mortality rate, and is a major burden on human health worldwide. Gut microbiota regulate human immunity and metabolism through producing numerous metabolites, which act as signaling molecules and substrates for metabolic reactions in various biological processes. The importance of host-gut microbiota interactions in immunometabolic mechanisms in CRC is increasingly recognized, and interest in modulating the microbiota to improve patient's response to therapy has been raising. However, the specific mechanisms by which gut microbiota interact with immunotherapy and radiotherapy remain incongruent. Here we review recent advances and discuss the feasibility of gut microbiota as a regulatory target to enhance the immunogenicity of CRC, improve the radiosensitivity of colorectal tumor cells and ameliorate complications such as radiotoxicity. Currently, great breakthroughs in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and others have been achieved by radioimmunotherapy, but radioimmunotherapy alone has not been effective in CRC patients. By summarizing the recent preclinical and clinical evidence and considering regulatory roles played by microflora in the gut, such as anti-tumor immunity, we discuss the potential of targeting gut microbiota to enhance the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy in CRC and expect this review can provide references and fresh ideas for the clinical application of this novel strategy.

Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) or post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based regimens are widely used for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). To improve the effectiveness of GVHD prophylaxis in haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT), we conducted a multicentre, randomized clinical trial to determine the efficacy of reduced-dose PTCy (40 mg/kg/d on days 3 and 4) combined with low-dose post-transplant ATG (2.5 mg/kg on day 8)-based GVHD prophylaxis (reduced-dose PTCy/ATG) with fludarabine-busulfan-cytarabine (FBA) conditioning for patients with haematological malignancies. From 2018 to 2022, 122 patients from four institutions were randomly assigned 1:1 to either a reduced-dose PTCy/ATG or a standard-dose ATG group ('Beijing Protocol', ATG: 10 mg/kg). All patients achieved myeloid engraftment. Cumulative incidences of grade II-IV (11.5% vs 39.3%, p = 0.001) and grade III-IV (6.6% vs 24.6%, p = 0.014) acute GVHD at day 100 were significantly reduced in the reduced-dose PTCy/ATG group. Furthermore, two-year overall survival, disease-free survival and GVHD-free/relapse-free survival were significantly improved in the reduced-dose PTCy/ATG group (75.4% vs 54.1%, p = 0.021; 72.7% vs 55.0%, p = 0.044; 61.3% vs 42.3%, p = 0.022 respectively). Our results demonstrate that the addition of low-dose ATG to reduced-dose PTCy with FBA conditioning is a promising strategy in haplo-PBSCT.

Rapid and accurate pathogen identification is essential for timely and effective treatment of pneumonia. Here, we describe the use of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage (BALF) fluid to identify pathogens in patients with hematologic comorbid respiratory symptoms in a retrospective study with 84 patients. In the transplantation group, 8 cases (19.5%) and 47 cases (97.9%) were positive for BALF by conventional method detection and mNGS detection, respectively, and 6 cases (14.0%) and 41 cases (91.1%) in chemotherapy group, respectively. The detection rate of mNGS in both groups was significantly higher than that of conventional detection methods (all P<0.05). Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus pneumoniae were the most common bacterial infections in the transplantation and chemotherapy groups, respectively. Aspergillus was the most common fungal infection in both groups. Human betaherpesvirus 5 (HHV-5), torque teno virus and human betaherpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) were the most common pathogen species in both groups. The most common type of infection in patients in the transplantation and chemotherapy groups was the mixed infection of bacteria-virus. Most patients in the transplantation group had mixed infections based on multiple viruses, with 42 cases of viral infections in the transplantation group and 30 cases of viral infections in the chemotherapy group, which were significantly higher in the transplantation group than in the chemotherapy group (χ2 = 5.766, P=0.016). and the mixed infection of virus-virus in the transplantation group was significantly higher than that in the chemotherapy group (27.1% vs 4.4%, P=0.003). The proportion of death due to pulmonary infection was significantly higher in the transplantation group than in the chemotherapy group (76.9% vs 16.7%, χ2 = 9.077, P=0.003). This study demonstrated the value of mNGS of BALF in improving the diagnosis and prognosis of hematologic comorbid pneumonia, helping patients to obtain timely and effective treatment, and giving guidance on the overall treatment plan for patients, with particular benefit for patients with hematologic chemotherapy comorbid pneumonia.

The most widely used regimens of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in HLA-matched unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (MUD-PBSCT) are based on anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) or post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). To improve the efficiency of GVHD prophylaxis, a novel regimen, composed of low-dose PTCy (20 mg/kg on day +3 and +4) and low-dose ATG (6 mg/kg), was evaluted in patients with hematological malignancies ungoing 10/10 HLA MUD-PBSCT in first remission (CR1). In our prospective, multicenter study, 104 patients were randomly assigned one-to-one to low-dose PTCy-ATG (n = 53) or standard-dose ATG (10 mg/kg, n = 51). Both the cumulative incidences (CIs) of grade II-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD) at 2 years in low-dose PTCy-ATG cohort were significantly reduced (24.5% vs. 47.1%; P = 0.017; 14.1% vs. 33.3%; P = 0.013). The CI of non-relapse-mortality (NRM) was much lower (13.2% vs. 34.5%; P = 0.049) and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) was significantly improved at 2 years in low-dose PTCy-ATG arm (67.3% vs 42.3%; P = 0.032). The low-dose PTCy-ATG based GVHD prophylaxis is a promising strategy for patients in CR1 after 10/10 HLA MUD-PBSCT.

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening hematological disorder. The major therapies include matched sibling donor (MSD)- hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), matched unrelated donor (MUD)-HSCT and immunosuppressive therapy (IST). However, there are many problems that can occur after HSCT, and graft failure (GF) is one of the most serious complications. To find an effective treatment, we analyzed 10 cases of second HSCT to treat SAA pediatric patients who suffered from GF and concluded that second haploidentical family donors HSCT is an effective treatment. Moreover, adding a small dose of busulfan or 2 ~ 3 Gy total body irradiation (TBI) in nonmyeloablative regimens (NMAs) can promote the engraftment. Although the study also showed that PBSCs, as a source of stem cells, can promote the implantation of neutrophil cells, due to small sample size, more research is still needed.

BACKGROUND: The main objective of this study was to explore health-related quality of life (HRQoL) profiles, chronic disease management practices and key factors associated with HRQoL in 540 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) administered tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). METHODS: Adult CML-CP patients treated with TKIs in Henan Cancer Hospital from March 2015 to October 2019 were assessed via questionnaires, including demographic characteristics, TKI medications, participation in CML disease management, and HRQoL, in a cross-sectional investigation. Respondents were anonymous. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Leukemia (FACT-Leu) was used to measure HRQoL. A multivariate linear regression model with stepwise entry was used to investigate variables independently associated with HRQoL domain and total scores. RESULTS: Totally, 540 respondents were included; 302 (55.93%) were male. Mean participant age was 42.90±13.00 years; 169 (31.3%), 178 (32.9%) and 193 (35.7%) individuals had a low, moderate or high disease management level, respectively. Except for insignificant event-free survival information, participants with higher disease management levels also had significantly higher rates of completing re-examination, drug withdrawal, cytogenetic response (CcyR) and/or major molecular response (MMR) (all P<0.01). Moreover, higher disease management level was accompanied by eight significantly higher HRQoL domains (all P<0.01). In multivariate linear regression analysis, variables significantly associated with a higher HRQoL included: (I) high disease management level (B=3.68, P=0.046); (II) transportation convenience (B=6.67, P<0.001); (III) family annual income >10,000 CNY (B=5.97, P<0.001); (IV) completed re-examination (B=4.58, P=0.036); (V) MMR (B=3.75, P=0.021) and CcyR (B=5.15, P=0.035). Female sex (B=-3.53, P=0.010), single status or divorce (B=-1.89 and -2.94, P=0.005 and 0.011), and low education level (B=-1.44, P=0.019) were significantly associated with lower HRQoL. CONCLUSIONS: Higher disease management level was significantly associated with higher elevated treatment efficacy and HRQoL in Chinese individuals with CML-CP administered TKIs. These data indicate the importance of chronic disease management on people's HRQoL and clinical outcome.

Central nervous system (CNS) complications can occur in 9%-15% of patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The clinical manifestations of the CNS complications are non-specific, with most of them being disturbances of consciousness, convulsions, headaches, fever, and epilepsy, making it difficult to infer the cause of the complications based on clinical manifestations. We retrospectively analyzed the sensitivity and feasibility of metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) in the diagnosis of CNS infections after allo-HSCT. Lumbar punctures were performed on 20 patients with CNS symptoms after receiving alternative donor HSCT(AD-HSCT) at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2019 to December 2020, and their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was collected. The mNGS technique was used to detect pathogens in the CSF. Routine CSF testing, biochemical analyses, G experiments, GM experiments, ink staining, acid-fast staining, and bacterial cultures were carried out, and quantitative PCR (qPCR) tests were used to detect cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), and human alphaherpesvirus (HHV). A total of 29 tests were performed with 21 of them being positive. Of the five negative patients, three were diagnosed with a posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, one as having transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy, and one with transient seizure caused by hypertension. Fifteen patients tested positive, of which four had single infections and eleven had mixed infections. Five cases of fungal infections, six cases of bacterial infections, and 13 cases of viral infections were detected. Among the 13 cases of viral infections, ten cases were CMV(HHV-5); three were BKPyV; two were Torque teno virus (TTV); Two were HHV-1,two were EBV(HHV4), and one each of HpyV5 and HHV-6B. Thirteen patients tested positive for virus while the qPCR detection method of 6 identical specimens were below the minimum detection limit(<1×103 U/ml). The mNGS technique is highly sensitive, and it can be used to diagnose CNS infections after allo-HSCT.

Radiotherapy remains one of the most important cancer treatment modalities. In the course of radiotherapy for tumor treatment, the incidental irradiation of adjacent tissues could not be completely avoided. DNA damage is one of the main factors of cell death caused by ionizing radiation, including single-strand (SSBs) and double-strand breaks (DSBs). The growth hormone-Insulin-like growth factor 1 (GH-IGF1) axis plays numerous roles in various systems by promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis, supporting its effects in inducing the development of multiple cancers. Meanwhile, the GH-IGF1 signaling involved in DNA damage response (DDR) and DNA damage repair determines the radio-resistance of cancer cells subjected to radiotherapy and repair of adjacent tissues damaged by radiotherapy. In the present review, we firstly summarized the studies on GH-IGF1 signaling in the development of cancers. Then we discussed the adverse effect of GH-IGF1 signaling in radiotherapy to cancer cells and the favorable impact of GH-IGF1 signaling on radiation damage repair to adjacent tissues after irradiation. This review further summarized recent advances on research into the molecular mechanism of GH-IGF1 signaling pathway in these effects, expecting to specify the dual characters of GH-IGF1 signaling pathways in radiotherapy and post-radiotherapy repair of cancers, subsequently providing theoretical basis of their roles in increasing radiation sensitivity during cancer radiotherapy and repairing damage after radiotherapy.
RESUMO
This study aimed to observe the safety and clinical efficacy of early application of ruxolitinib to prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after alternative donor transplantation in acute leukemia. There were 57 patients undergoing allo-HSCT at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2017 to October 2019. They were divided into control(16 patients) and ruxolitinib (41 patients) groups. For aGVHD prophylaxis, the control group received post-transplantation cyclophosphamide, antithymocyte globulin-Fresenius, cyclosporine A, and mycophenolate mofetil, while in the ruxolitinib group, ruxolitinib 5 mg/d in adults or 0.07-0.1 mg/(kg d) in children was administered from the day of neutrophil engraftment to 100 days post-transplantation based on control group. We found 55 patients had successful reconstitution of hematopoiesis; No significant difference was found in cGVHD, hemorrhagic cystitis, pulmonary infection, intestinal infection, Epstein-Barr virus infection, cytomegalovirus infection, relapse, death, and nonrelapse mortality. The incidences of aGVHD (50 vs. 22%, P = 0.046) and grade II-IV aGVHD (42.9 vs. 12.2%, P = 0.013) were significantly higher in the control group than in the ruxolitinib group. No significant differences were observed in overall survival (P = 0.514), disease-free survival (P = 0.691), and cumulative platelet transfusion within 100 days post-transplantation between two groups. This suggests early application of ruxolitinib can reduce the incidence and severity of aGVHD and patients are well tolerated.

Posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis is an effective strategie for patients receiving matched sibling donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MSD-HSCT) and haploidentical HSCT (haplo-HSCT). We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of reduced-dose cyclophosphamide, 20 mg/kg for 13 patients in MSD-HSCT cohort and 25 mg/kg for 22 patients in haplo-HSCT cohort, on days + 3, + 4 combined with cotransplantation of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) and human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). In MSD-PTCy cohort, the times to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were significantly shorter than those in the MSD-control cohort (P < 0.05). The cumulative incidence of acute GVHD (aGVHD) at day + 100 (15.4%) was lower than that in the MSD-control cohort (P = 0.050). No patient developed chronic GVHD (cGVHD). The 1-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates were 100% and 92.3%. In haplo-PTCy cohort, the times to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were significantly shorter than those in the haplo-control cohort (P < 0.05). The cumulative incidences of aGVHD at day + 100 and 1-year cGVHD were 31.8% and 18.2%, and the 1-year OS and EFS rates were 81.8% and 66.9%. Reduced-dose PTCy and cotransplantation of PBSCs and UC-MSCs is an acceptable alternative to patients with SAA.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an effective measure for the treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA). While infection, graft failure, and graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) are the main causes of allo-HSCT failure, a second HSCT is needed to eliminate the dependence of blood transfusion and maintain disease-free survival. We applied low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) + fludarabine (FLU) + cyclophosphamide (CTX) + antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) + busulfan (BU) as a conditioning regimen of second HSCT after a transplantation with an HLA-mismatched donor. As for retransplantation donors, 1 child had an unrelated HLA-matched donor, and 2 children had related HLA-mismatched ones. The latter underwent more serious GVHD with a relatively high cytokine level, and the former had no obvious GVHD after the second HSCT. All 3 patients achieved a desirable effect within 1 month and received satisfactory therapeutic effect during the subsequent follow-up, indicating the convincing effectiveness and safety of this method.

This study aims to review the clinical efficacy and factors affecting the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The clinical data of 47 patients with MM from the Department of Hematology of Henan Cancer Hospital from September 2010 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. At pre-transplantation of autologous cells, 25.5% were in complete remission (CR), 14.9% were in very good partial remission (VGPR) and 59.6% were in partial remission (PR). Among these cases, one case had PR after three recurrences. At post-transplantation, 51% were in CR, including two cases who received double transplantations, 27.7% were in VGPR, and 21.3% were in PR. The median follow-up time was 27.6 months (4-96 months). The 3-year progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 47.9% and 79.6%, respectively. The Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results revealed that factors that affected OS were international staging system (ISS) stage (P = 0.002), CR and VGPR post-transplantation (P = 0.002), while factors that affected PFS were ISS stage (P = 0.005), pre-transplant induction therapy (P = 0.032), and disease risk stratification (P = 0.017). The curative effects for PFS were CR and VGPR pre-transplantation (P = 0.013) and post-transplantation (P = 0.011). The Cox multivariate regression analysis revealed that ISS stage and CR and VGPR post-transplantation were independent prognostic factors of OS. At post-transplantation, CR and VGPR, ISS stage, and pre-transplant induction therapy were independent prognostic factors for PFS. In conclusion, ASCT can improve the clinical efficacy and survival rate of MM patients. ISS stage, CR and VGPR post-transplantation are independent prognostic factors of OS and PFS, while pre-transplant induction therapy is an independent prognostic factor for PFS.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an effective measure for the treatment of hematological disease. With the progress and widespread use of allo-HSCT, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) related central nervous system (CNS) diseases have gotten more and more attention because of its poor prognosis and overall survival. Since currently there is no standard treatment for patients with EBV-associated CNS diseases and reported therapies are heterogeneous with mixed results, we attempted to develop a novel therapeutic method. We applied a regimen of intrathecal donor lymphocyte infusion (IDLI) in three patients with EBV-associated CNS diseases after allo-HSCT in addition to immunosuppressants reduction and combined antiviral therapy. All of three patients were responsive to this therapy: all clinical symptoms and EBV load in CSF were resolved 10, 17, and 12 days after initial IDLI, respectively, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that lesions of case 1 and 2 disappeared 15 and 19 days after initial IDLI, respectively. Even more appealing, there were no acute or chronic adverse reactions during the infusion and up to 23 months of follow-up. In conclusion, IDLI seems to be an effective and safe method for EBV-associated CNS diseases in allo-HSCT recipients. We recommend this treatment modality for further investigation.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical efficacy and possible influencing factors of autologous hematopoietic Stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS: Clinical data of 40 MM patients received auto-HSCT in the Department of Hematology of Henan Cancer Hospital from September 2010 to November 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, the clinical curative efficiency was summarized and the related factors were analyzed. RESULTS: The curative efficiency of the patients before transplantation was 9(22.5%) with complete remission(CR), 5(12.5%) with very good partial remission(VGPR), 26(65%) with partial remission(PR), respectively, one of them was PR after 3 recurrences. The curative efficiency after transplantation was 22(55%) with complete remission(CR), 12(30%) with very good partial remission(VGPR), 6(15%) with partial remission(PR), respectively. And 2 cases were CR after double transplantation. Median follow-up time was 28.4 (3.1 to 88) months,15 cases presented disease progression, 7 cases were dead, 3-year estimated progression-free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS) rate were 45.1% and 82% respectively. Unvariate analysis showed that the OS was affected by ISS stage (P<0.05), CR and VGPR (P<0.05) after transplantation; PFS was affected by ISS stage (P<0.01), before transplantation induction therapy (27 cases with bortezomizomi or thalidomide) (P<0.05), disease risk stratification (6 cases in high risk group) (P<0.05) , CR and VGPR (P<0.05) before transplantation, CR and VGPR (P<0.01) after transplantation. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that the independent prognostic factors for OS were ISS stage, CR and VGPR after transplantation; the independent prognostic factors for PFS were the CR, VGPR, ISS stage after transplantation and induction therapy before transplant. CONCLUSION: Auto-HSCT can improve the clinical efficacy and survival rate of MM patients; ISS stage, CR and VGPR after transplantation are independent prognostic factors for OS and PFS, and induction therapy before transplantation is also an independent prognostic factor for PFS.
