Objective:To explore the curative efficacy of tandem autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for high-risk multiple myeloma (HRMM).Methods:From January 2017 to December 2021, retrospective analysis was conducted for 240 initially diagnosed HRMM patients. According to different treatment protocols after induction chemotherapy, they were further assigned into three groups of tandem ASCT (n= 20) ,single ASCT (n=80) and non-transplantation (n= 140). Rates of deep response (very good partial response and above) before and after transplantation and differences in 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared among three groups. The prognostic factors of HRMM were examined by univariate and multivariate analyses.Results:In single ASCT group, the rates of deep responses were 67.50% (54/80) after induction chemotherapy and 80.00 % (64/80) post-ASCT ( P=0.072). There were no significant statistical differences. In tandem ASCT group, the rates of deep response were 65.00% (13/20) after induction chemotherapy and 95.00 % (19/20) post-ASCT ( P=0.018). There were significant statistical differences. The 2-year PFS of tandem ASCT, single ASCT and non-transplantation groups were (75.00±2.90) %, (71.25±3.00) % and (61.43±3.10) % respectively. No statistically significant difference existed in 2-year PFS rates between single ASCT and non-transplantation groups, as well as between tandem ASCT and single ASCT groups ( P=0.365 and P=0.052). Significant difference existed in 2-year PFS between tandem ASCT and non-transplantation groups ( P<0.032). Two-year OS rates of tandem ASCT, single ASCT and non-transplantation groups were (90.00±3.50) %, (78.75±2.70) % and (62.86±2.50) % respectively. No statistically significant difference existed in 2-year OS rate between single ASCT and non-transplantation groups, as well as between tandem ASCT and single ASCT groups ( P=0.071 and P=0.057). Significant difference existed in 2-year OS between tandem ASCT and non-transplantation groups ( P=0.003). Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that the independent prognostic factors affecting PFS were multi-hit, stages RISS-Ⅲ and failure to achieve very good partial response (VGPR) after four cycles of induction therapy and non-tandem ASCT. The independent prognostic factors affecting OS were multi-hit, stages RISS-Ⅲ and non-tandem ASCT. Conclusion:Tandem ASCT not only significantly improves the depth of remission but also further enhances 2-year PFS/OS of HRMM patients. It is a recommended treatment for HRMM.

Objective:To explore the value of flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) in guiding the decannulation of neurological disease patients with dysphagia after a tracheotomy.Methods:The FEES results of 188 neurological disease patients with dysphagia who had undergone a tracheotomy were analyzed retrospectively. The utility of FEES evaluation indexes (including glottis activity, the classification of pharyngeal secretions and residues as well as penetration-aspiration grade) for predicting the success of decannulation was explored.Results:One hundred and nine of the patients (the success group) were decannulated successfully and 79 (the failure group) were not, a success rate of 57%. The abnormal glottis activity rate among the failure group was 55%, significantly higher than among the success group (21%). The pharyngeal secretion classifications and penetration-aspiration grades among the success group were also significantly lower than among the failure group, on average. The average course of recovery from the tracheotomy was 184 days in the success group, significantly shorter than that of the failure group (292 days). No significant differences in residues were observed.Conclusion:The glottis activity, secretions and intake aspiration evaluated using FEES are of great value for guiding the decannulation of neurological disease patients with dysphagia after a tracheotomy.

Objective:To explore the application of digital acoustic analysis in assessing the risk of aspiration among persons with dysphagia using the Praat speech analysis software.Methods:The swallowing of 46 stroke survivors with dysphagia was studied using video fluoroscopy. Each patient was required to pronounce " yi/i/" 3 times before and after taking each mouthful of food, and their voice samples were collected. The subjects were divided into a non-aspiration group of 16 and an aspiration group of 30 based on their penetration-aspiration scale scores. Fundamental frequency, relative average perturbation (RAP), jitter, shimmer, amplitude perturbation quotient and harmonic-to-noise ratio were compared between the two groups before and after taking food.Results:For the non-aspiration group, there was no significant difference in the acoustic data before and after eating. For the aspiration group there were significant differences in fundamental frequency, relative average perturbation and jitter before and after taking food. The average RAP and jitter of the non-aspiration group were significantly better than the aspiration group′s averages before eating. After eating, however, significant differences were observed only in average jitter.Conclusions:Analyzing perturbation and jitter can help to identify persons at risk of aspiration.
