1.Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myelodysplastic syndrome: indications and controversy of pre-transplant chemotherapy
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2013;22(6):341-343
The indications for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) were established on the basis of FAB diagnosis,International Prognosis Scoring System (IPSS) and World Health Organization Prognosis Scoring System (WPSS).It was recommended that patients of IPSS intermediate risk Ⅱ and of high risk should receive allo-HSCT at diagnosis,and those with intermediate risk Ⅰ and of low risk might benefit from deferred transplantation.Dynamic monitoring of marrow morphology and the risk of disease are needed for appropriate timing of transplant.Patients of intermediate risk and low risk with low platelet count,pneutropenia or blood infusion dependence are indicated for transplantation.The advantage of chemotherapy pre-HSCT in those indicated patients has been controversial.Up to now,there has been few data showing benefit of pre-chemotherapy or hypomethylating therapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) on high glucose-induced expression of fibronectin (FN) and collagen Ⅳ (Col Ⅳ) and activity of nuclear factor-?? (NF-??) in human renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods Human renal tubular epithelial cells (HKCs) in culture were divided into 5 groups: normal glucose group with 5.5 mmol/L glucose (NG), high glucose group with 25 mmol/L D-glucose (HG), HG+100 ng/ml BMP-7, NG+100 ng/ml BMP-7 and high osmolality group with 25 mmol/L mannitol (HM). Thus HKCs were respectively stimulated with high glucose, high mannitol and BMP-7. Expression of collagen Ⅳ and fibronectin was determined by immunocytochemistry and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and activity of nuclear factor-?? was assessed with electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results Compared with normal glucose, high glucose concentration up-regulated expression of FN and Col Ⅳ and activity of NF-?? (P0.05). With addition of BMP-7 in a concentration of 100ng/ml to the high glucose medium, expression of Col Ⅳ and FN was suppressed, and the activity of nuclear factor-?? was inhibited in human tubular epithelial cells (P

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the blood drug monitoring results of vancomycin and clinical administration behavior and then to provide a clinical reference for its rational utilization. METHODS:We retrospectively collected the blood drug monitoring results of vancomycin and drugrelated information from July 2007 to October 2008 in our hospital. These data were from the electronic clinical pharmacy workstation and initial written case history. RESULTS:Among the 76 cases,non-clinical significant results due to doctor’s irregular manipulation in collecting blood sample accounted for 32.89%. In renal failure group,the rate of peak concentration above the effective blood concentration range was 44.46% . Every patient was averagely administered 21.85 kinds of drugs mainly by intravenous injection during vancomycin application. Clinical response rate of vancomycin was 65.00%. CONCLUSION:During the blood concentration monitoring of vancomycin,we should take clinical need into consideration,collect blood samples rightly,consider the factors such as special pathophysiologic status of patients,drug combination,and adjust the dosage timely.
