OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of imipenem and cislastatin sodium and meropenem in the treatment of acute leukemia granulocytopenic phase combined with severe lung infection. METHODS:A total of 64 patients with acute leukemia granulocytopenic phase combined with severe lung infection were selected from our hospital during Jul. 2015-Jul. 2016 as study objects. They were divided into trial group(odd number)and control group(even number)according to admis-sion order,with 32 cases in each group. Control group was given Meropenem for injection 1 g+0.9% Sodium chloride injection 100 mL,ivgtt(about 30 min),q8 h. Trial group was given Imipenem and cislastatin sodium for injection 1 g+0.9% Sodium chlo-ride injection 100 mL,ivgtt(about 30 min),q12 h. Both groups were treated for 14 d. Clinical efficacies as well as blood gas pa-rameters [p(O2),p(CO2),SaO2] and pathogenic clearance were observed in 2 groups,and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The total response rate of trial group(78.13%)was significantly higher than that of control group(71.88%),with sta-tistical significance (P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in blood gas parameters or the number of detected pathogenic strains between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of p(O2) and SaO2 in 2 groups were in-creased significantly,while the level of p(CO2) was decreased significantly;there was statistical significance compared to be-fore treatment(P>0.05). There were 27 cases of pathogenic clearance in trial group(clearance rate of 84.38%),which was sig-nificantly more than control group (26 cases,clearance rate of 81.25%),without statistical significance (P>0.05). The inci-dence of ADR in trial group(9.38%)was significantly lower than control group(15.63%),without statistical significance(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Imipenem and cislastatin sodium and meropenem show good clinical efficacy for acute leukemia granu-locytopenic phase combined with severe lung infection,blood gas parameters improvement and pathogenic clearance effect,both of them have good safety.

Objective:To investigate the expression and prognostic significance of CD19 in patients with Acute myelogenous leukemia with AML1-ETO positive. Methods: Clinical data of 66 patients AML with AML1-ETO positive who were newly diagnosed from Jan 2010 to Dec 2015 were collected. To retrospectively analyze the relationship between clinical characteristics and expression of CD19,so dose the prognosis. Results:The positive rate of CD19 expressing in AML with AML1-ETO positive was 50. 0%. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of age,gender,hemoglobin,platelet,percentage of bone marrow blasts,accompanied with chromosome ,gene mutations between patients with and without CD19 expression(P>0. 05). The white blood cell count(WBC) of the CD19 negative group was higher than CD19 positive group,while showed significant difference(P=0. 027). Although the relapse-free survival (RFS) of patients with CD19 expression was higher than those without,no significant difference was calculated (P=0. 105). Patients with CD19 expression had superior overall survival ( OS ) compared to those without CD19 expression ( P = 0. 030 ) . Multivariable analysis for OS identified CD19 positivity as an independent predictor associated with better prognosis. Conclusion: The expression of CD19 in AML with AML1-ETO positive may be an indicator associated with better prognosis.
