The biggest highlight in the 55th ASH annual meeting is a series of revolutionary progress in the field of diagnosis,pathogenesis,prediction,prognosis and minimal residue disease (MRD) of malignant blood diseases guiding with next generation of sequencing (NGS) techniques.This article will share the major contents of 7 papers using NGS techniques in the ASH annual meeting with domestic readers here.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most commom hematologic malignancy in adults.There are so many highlights in the 54th ASH annual meeting in the field of mechanism,diagnosis and treatment of AML.Especially many studies have identified genes close related to AML development,clones related to relapse and molecular marker for prognosis using next-generation sequencing (NGS).Minimal residual disease (MRD) assay has been used for evaluation of therapy efficacy and posttherapy prognostication in AML treatment.The tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting FLT3-ITD in this meeting is the best highlight in the treatment of refractory and relapsed AML.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow stroma are able to differentiate into multiple mesoderm-type cell lineages. Because of the ease of their isolation and their extensive differentiated potentiality, mesenchymal stem cells become potential resource of cell and gene therapy. OBJECTIVE: To summarize biological characteristics and application of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY:An online search of Pubmed was undertaken by using the keywords of "Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, gene therapy, transplant"to identify the relevant articles published in English from January 1999 to December 2006. At the same time,Wanfang database was undertaken to identify the relevant articles published between January 1999 and December 2006 with the key words of "Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, gene therapy, transplant" in Chinese.The data were selected primarily, and then quotations of each article were checked. Inclusive criterion:The articles related to the biological characteristics and application of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were included. Exclusive criteria:the articles with repetitive research or Meta analysis were excluded.Totally 95 relevant articles were selected and 78 of them met the inclusive criterion. The 45 excluded articles were of old or repetitive content. LITERATURE EVALUATION: Selected articles were on basic experiment or clinical study of the biological characteristics, cell transplantation and gene therapy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Totally 33 articles of the 78 articles met the inclusive criterion were included. Of them, 4 articles were on the isolation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, 3 on surface marker of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, 6 on biological characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, 3 on immune response between bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation and host and 17 on the application of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on disease therapy. DATA SYNTHESIS: In the suitable condition, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into multiple cells, such as bone, chondrocytes, fat, muscle, tendon, neuron-like cells, myocardial cells and stroma-cells that support hematopoietic stem cells. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells seem to be the cells of immunosuppression and low-down immunogenicity. It makes bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells used in systemic transplantation, local implantation, as a vehicle for genes in gene therapy protocols or to generate transplantable tissues and organs in tissue engineering protocols. The results of these initial trials are very encouraging in animal test and several clinical trials are successful in some patients. But the enough clinical trails and long-term safety of therapeutics based on bone mesenchymal stem cells are needed. CONCLUSION: Biological characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have been gradually recognized. It is hoped that using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in clinic will bring major advances in the therapy of some diseases.

Objective To provide guide for clinical diagnosis,classification and treatment of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder(CKD-MBD).Methods A total of 56 patients with chronic renal insufficiency were divided into three different groups:CKD4 period,CKD5 period and long-term hemodialysis(over 5 years).Their serum calcium,phosphorus,iPTH,bAP,and TRACP levels,and the bone mineral density were examined.Results The incidences of CKD-MBD in the three groups were 36.4%,73.0%,and 87.5%,respectively.High-turnover bone disease accounted for 65.79%,and the low-turnover bone disease accounted for 34.21%.The bAP and TRACP activity was significantly increased in patients with high-turnover bone disease and decreased in those with low-turnover bone disease.Conclusion CKD-MBD is a common complication of patients with chronic renal failure,with the main type being high-turnover bone disease,but the low-turnover bone disease can not be ignored.TRACP and bAP are the sensitive indicators of osteoblasts and osteoclast activity,and they could be used to identify high or low turnover bone disease.TRACP and bAP,together with serum calcium,phosphorus,iPTH,bone mineral density changes,can be used for a comprehensive analysis of bone metabolic state,so as to guide the diagnosis,sub-typing,drug selection and comprehensive treatment of CKD-MBD.
