BACKGROUND:Donor selection for high-risk acute leukemia is still controversial.OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic efficacy of the unrelated donor peripheral blood and matched sibling allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for high-risk acute leukemia.METHODS:Total 65 patients with high-risk acute leukemia treated during January 2008 to January 2016 were included,in which 30 patients chose the unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (UD), and other 35 chose the matched sibling allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MS) according to the wishes of patients and their own situation. After treatment, the chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis method, and other methods were used to compare the implanted and hematopoietic reconstitution, the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease, relapse mortality and long-term survival between the two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The implantation rate, platelet hematopoietic reconstitution time, the incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease, and its type exhibited no significant differences between the two groups (P > 0.05).The relapse rate, total death rate, and transplant-related mortality rates were 10.0%, 50.0%, and 40.0% in the UD group and 20.0%, 48.6%, and 25.7% in the MS groups, respectively, and the intergroup difference was insignificant (P > 0.05).The expected 2-year cumulative disease-free free survival and overall survival rates were (49.4±9.2)% and (52.6±9.2)% in the UD group and (53.9±8.5)% and (53.9±8.5)% in the MS group, respectively, and the intergroup difference was also insignificant (P > 0.05). Our experimental findings show that unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation can be used as an effective alternative in the absence of sibling donors.

BACKGROUND: Hemorrhagic cystitis remains a common complication of hematopoietlc stem cell transplantation.Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) affects proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, adjusts functions of monocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes and endothelial cells.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effects of GM-CSF bladder irrigation in hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem call transplantation.DESIGN: Case analysis.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 15 hematopathy patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at the Zhongshan Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2004 to August 2006 (routine treatment group). A total of 16 hematopathy patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from September 2006 to December 2008 (GM-CSF group).METHODS: In the routine treatment group, patients received mesna, hydration, alkalization and forced diuresis in the prevention of hemorrhagic cystitis. In the GM-CSF group, GM-CSF was infused into the bladder in addition to mesna,hydration, alkalization and forced diuresis in the prevention of hemorrhagic cystitis 24 hours before cyclophosphamide treatment. Catheter was extracted 3 days following cyclophosphamide withdraw. Following washing with saline, the bladder was emptied. 10 mL of saline and 5 mL of lidocaine were added into 300 μg of GM-CSF. The mixture was infused into the bladder for 60-120 minutes.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The following parameters were measured: occurrence of hemorrhagic cystitis and its correlation to graft versus host disease, as well as the occurrence of cytomegalovirus infection and urinary system infection.RESULTS: Compared with routine treatment group, the occurrence rate of hemorrhagic cystitis was significantly decreased in the GM-CSF group (x2=4.39, P < 0.05), mean duration of hemorrhagic cystitis and duration of hospitalization were significantly shortened (t=3.97, P < 0.05; t=3.13, P < 0.05), and the occurrence rate of over grade HI hemorrhagic cystitis was significantly reduced (x2=5.04, P < 0.05). Cystitis degree was associated with degree and duration of graft-versus-host disease (r = 0.76).Compared with the routine treatment group, cytomegalovirus infection rate was slightly decreased in the GM-CSF group (x2=0.28, P> 0.05), and occurrence rate of over grade Ⅲ hemorrhagic cystitis was higher in patients with cytomegalovirus infection.Compared with the routine treatment group, the occurrence rate of urinary system infection was slightly reduced in the GM-CSF group (x2=0.28, P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: GM-CSF bladder irrigation is well tolerated and often effective, and should be considered as a preparative regimen of hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem call transplantation.

To clarify the function of miR-103 in the differentiation of porcine preadipocyte, we carried out real-time PCR to detect the expression pattern of miR-103 during adipogenesis, and clarified its expression tendency through cell differentiation. Then we used adenovirus that overexpressed miR-103 to infect porcine preadipocyte. Subsequently, mRNA and protein expression of adipogenesis marker--PPARgamma and aP2 was analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blotting. At last, Oil-Red O staining was used to detect lipids accumulation in the 8th day after adipogenic inducement. The expression of miR-103 increased during adipocyte differentiation; compared with the control, the preadipocyte infected by pAd-miR-103 had an elevated expression level of adipocyte marker gene PPARgamma, aP2, and obvious lipid droplet was seen in the 8th day after adipogenic inducement. These results showed that miR-103 can enhance adipogenesis in primary cultured porcine adipocytes.

Objective:To build a medical service experience system based on role play of hospital staff, and explore its contribution to upgrading medical service, elevating medical service quality, and improving patients′ satisfaction.Methods:An indicator system for medical service experience was developed via literature review. 20 newly recruited hospital employees in 2019 were sampled randomly to form a service experience team, who were arranged to experience the full medical service process of outpatients and inpatients based on role play. The questionnaire for service quality based on patient perception and expectation was used to survey the expectation and perception values of those role players on their medical service experiences, and summarize the defects found on such six dimensions as hospital reliability, responsiveness, tangibility, assurance, empathy and cost-effectiveness. After due corrections of these defects, further experiences and patient satisfaction survey were made to assess the effects of such actions taken. Paired t test was used respectively in statistical analysis of service experience value and actual perception value, as well as the perception values before and after the actions taken, and χ2 test was used for a statistical analysis of patient satisfaction. Results:Role players experienced respectively at the emergency, outpatient and inpatient departments of the hospital for a week in August 2019. Statistics of their experiences indicated≥0.50 points difference between the mean expectation and perception values on doctor-patient communication, patient help responsiveness, outpatient process, examination report delivery duration, service attitude, patient trust on medical workers, medical environment and patient privacy protection.Following a 3-month reform, role players found improvements in such aspects as hospital reliability, responsiveness, tangibility, assurance, empathy and cost-effectiveness; patient satisfaction improved sizably in December 2019 over January of the same year( P<0.05). Conclusions:The construction and application of the medical service experience system based on role play of hospital staff prove highly useful in upgrading medical service actions, improving medical service quality, and improving patient satisfaction.
