Objective To study the clinic effect and safety of MEAD chemotherapy regimen for adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphocyte leukemia. Methods Between July 2006 and July 2009,twenty-two adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphocyte leukemia received MEAD regimen (mitoxantrone 6 mg/d dl-3 iv drip,cytarabine 100 mg/d dl-5 iv drip,etoposide 100 mg/d dl-5 iv drip,dexmethasone 10 mg/d dl-8 iv drip). Results The complete remission (CR) rate of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphocyte leukemia was 31.8 %,the partial remission(PR) rate was 22.7 % and the overall response (OR) rate 54.5 %. The cumulitive CR rate was 50.0 %,and the PR rate 40.9 % after two times MEAD chemotherapy regimen. The main adverse effect was different level of myelosuppression,and other toxicity of vital organ was mild. Conclusion MEAD regimen is effective and can be tolerated for adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphocyte leukemia,and its side effect is mild.

Objective To investigate the expression level and clinical significance of WT1 gene in acute luekemia (AL) patients.Methods WT1 gene level was detected by real time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) patients.Then the expression levels of WT1 gene in different subtypes of AML were compared,and the correlation between gene expression and disease courses and prognosis were observed.Moreover,the relationship between disease courses and WT1 expression in patiens after receiving haemopoietic stem cell transplantation were analyzed.Results Among 66 cases,WT1 expression positive rate was 87.5 ％ (14/16) in AML and 76.0 ％ (38/50) in ALL.In AML,the expression level in M3 showed the lowest than that in any other subtypes (compared with M1,M2,M4,M5,P value was 0.040,0.007,0.006 and 0.01,respectively).The expression level of WT1 was closely correlated with leukemia disease courses.The expression level in complete remission (CR) group showed a significant lower expression level than that in non-remission group (P =0.018) and relapse group (P =0.003),and the re-increase of WT1 expression level could predict relapse as early as 1.5 months.Moreover,WT1 expression also showed an close relationship with prognosis of patients receiving haemopoietic stem cell transplantation.Patients whose WT1 was undetectable had a better prognosis than those with persistent expression,and increase again after becoming undetectable.Conclusion WT1 has a high expression level in AL,which can represent minimal residual disease.The expression level in M3 was lowest than that in different AML subtypes,and its expression level has a close correlation with clinical disease course and prognosis of AL.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the roles of microfilaments in the expression of collagenase and TIMP-1 in normal and hypertrophic scar.

METHODSCell culture and Northern blot hybridization methods were used in this study.

RESULTSAfter the disruption of microfilaments with cytochalasin B, mRNA contents of collagenase and TIMP-1 both increased significantly in normal and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.

CONCLUSIONThe result suggest that the microfilament cytoskeleton may regulate the synthesis and degradation of ECM, which may be a mechanism of gene regulation during wound healing.

[Objective]To discuss the clinical effect of fludarabine and busulfan (Bu+Flu) as a low toxicity myeloablative conditioning regimen for allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT)in leukemia patients.[Methods]Clinical data of 13 patients with hematological malignancies receiving conditioning regimen with Bu+Flu for allo-HSCT were analyzed retrospectively.Conditioning regimen was Bu+Flu,compalriot mismatched and unrelated transplantation combined with rabbit anti-human thymocytes immune globulin (ATG).CsA+short course of methotrexate or CsA + mycophenolate mofetil were used to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).DNA sequencing of short tandem repeat (STR)polymorphism analysis method was performed for identification of donor stem cells implantation.[Results]13 patients all tolerated with this conditioning regimen well,no serious complications occurred.Neutrophil engraftment was at 9-15 days (median 11 days),platelet engraftment at 8-25 days (median 13 days).10 patients achieved hematopoiesis reconstitution with their full donor chimerisms confirmed by STR-DNA analysis.Acute GVHD occurred in 5 cases,accounting for 38.5％.Chronic GVHD occurred in 4 cases of 10 patients could be assessed,accounting for 40.0％.Severe GVHD more than Ⅱ degree did not happen.1-39 months (median time 11 months)of follow-up revealed the overall survival rate of 76.9％(10/13),disease-free survival of 61.5％ (8/13).The causes for death were relapse in all.[Conclusion]The conditioning regimen with Bu+Flu has low toxicity,well tolerance and better effect.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy is a novel cellular immunotherapy that is widely used to treat hematological malignancies, including acute leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Despite its remarkable clinical effects, this therapy has side effects that cannot be underestimated. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is one of the most clinically important and potentially life-threatening toxicities. This syndrome is a systemic immune storm that involves the mass cytokines releasing by activated immune cells. This phenomenon causes multisystem damages and sometimes even death. In this study, we reported the management of a patient with recurrent and refractory multiple myeloma and three patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia who suffered CRS during CAR-T treatment. The early application of tocilizumab, an anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, according to toxicity grading and clinical manifestation is recommended especially for patients who suffer continuous hyperpyrexia, hypotensive shock, acute respiratory failure, and whose CRS toxicities deteriorated rapidly. Moreover, low doses of dexamethasone (5-10 mg/day) were used for refractory CRS not responding to tocilizumab. The effective management of the toxicities associated with CRS will bring additional survival opportunities and improve the quality of life for patients with cancer.

【Objective】 To investigate the practice and benefit of national standardized management of type 2 diabetes in Yulin City. 【Methods】 We recruited the adult type 2 diabetes patients who sought medical help at our hospital from May 2020 to October 2022 as subjects. We collected their basic information (sex and age); measured height, weight, waist and hip circumference, and blood pressure; calculated body mass index (BMI); and detected blood glucose, c-peptide, HbA1c, biomarkers, urinary microalbumin, sensory nerve conduction velocity of lower limbs, ABI, and subcutaneous and visceral fat at the time of MMC recruited and the end of six months. T test and Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for measurement data and χ² test or Fisher’s exact probability method for counting data to analyze the data. 【Results】 After 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, and visceral and subcutaneous fat in all the patients decreased, but the level of fasting c-peptide increased compared with the baseline (all P<0.05). Secondly, compared with the baseline, the control rate of HbA1c (35.21% vs. 13.71% ) and the comprehensive control rate (13.97% vs. 7.26% ) were both significantly increased at six months (P<0.05). Thirdly, after 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, TG, TC, and UA were decreased more, while the fasting c-peptide and postprandial c-peptide were increased more in the patients of the HbA1c standard group (HbA1c<7% ) than those of the non-standard group. 【Conclusion】 The multiple benefits of blood glucose, blood lipid, uric acid and islet function can be achieved by taking type 2 diabetes patients into MMC. Meanwhile, the rates of HbA1c control and comprehensively reaching the standard are significantly increased. Therefore, MMC can explore a new way for the management of type 2 diabetic patients in this area.
