Objective To study the differential diagnostic value of interferon-γ inducible protein 10 (IP-10),macrophage inflammatory protein-1 α (MIP-1 α) and monocyte chemoattractant-1 (MCP-1) level in the tuberculous,malignant pleural effusion.Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the level of IP-10,MIP-1 α and MCP-1 in tuberculous pleural fluid (tuberculous pleural fluid group,43 cases) and malignant pleural fluid (malignant pleural fluid group,45 cases).The level of IP-10,MIP-1 α and MCP-1 and the significance were analyzed by ROC curve.Results The level of IP-10,MIP-1 α and MCP-1 were significantly higher in tuberculous pleural fluid group than those in malignant pleural fluid group,and there were significant differences(t =4.931,3.106,2.385 ; P =0.000,0.004,0.041).ROC curve analysis showed that the critical value of IP-10,MIP-1 α and MCP-1 in diagnosis of pleural effusion was respectively 1 589.73,213.50,1 452.63 ng/L.The sensitivity and specificity of IP-10,MIP-1 α and MCP-1 in pleural fluid were 68.8％,81.3％,87.5％ and 87.5％,68.8％,56.3％,respectively.Conclusion The level of IP-10,MIP-1 α and MCP-1 in tuberculous and malignant pleural fluid are significant for the early diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the preventive effect of magnetic stent on coronary restenosis after percutaneous arterial stenting.Methods Twenty rabbits were divided randomly into 2 groups.Bare stent(BS group,n=10)or magnetic stent(MS group,n=10)wasimplanted in the left iliac artery of the rabbits of the 2 groups,respectively.Aspirin (25mg,qd )was administered orally to the rabbitsof both groups from 3 days before stenting until the rabbits were executed.Unfractionated heparin (2500u,qd) was delivered subcuta-neously after stenting for 7days.Five rabbits of each group were randomly selected to be executed at 7 or 30 days.Stmctural changesin the iniured arteries were studied by optical microscopey,transmissive electronic microscopey and immunohistochemistry.ResultsAt 7 days.more myofibroblasts were found migrating from adventitia to tunica media and intima in BS group than in MS group.insidethe media and intima,large amount of smooth muscle cells of synthetic type were observed.At 30 days after stenting,in magnetic group,most uascular smooth musele cells(SMCs)under the intima had transformed to contractile type and only little extracellular matrix(ECM)was observed around the SMCs;whereas,in BS group,the SMCs remained to be synthetic type and large amount of ECM wasobserved around the SMCs.which was composed mainly of proteoglycans and glycoproteins. Conclusions Magnetic stent caninhibit proliferation and migration of SMCs and reducing the production of ECM.and therefore,may prevent restenosis after coronarystenting.

Objective We aimed to investigate whether magnetic stent has preventive effect on in-stent restenosis by observing expressions of matrix metalioproteinase (MMP)2,MMP9,tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)1 and TIMP2 after balloon angioplasty,bare and magnetic stent implantation in rabbits.Methods Rabbits underwent balloon angioplasty,bare and magnetic stent implantation in the left iliac arteries.The changes of MMPs and TIMPs were examined at various time points in the injured arteries using the methods of zymography,Western blot analysis,reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and morphometric analysis.Results Balloon angioplasty group (BA) and magnetic stent group (MS) showed lower intrinsic gelatinolytic activity and higher expression of TIMPs with less intimae hyperplasia;Whereas bare stent (BS) group exhibited higher intrinsic gelatinolytic activity and lower expression of TIMPs with significant intimae hyperplasia.Conclusion Magnetic stent probably has preventive effect on in-stent restenosis by changing intrinsic matrix metalloproteinases activity and expression of TIMPs.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) on therapy-related leukemia (TRL).Methods:The clinical data of 14 patients with TRL who received allo-HSCT in Aerospace Central Hospital from April 2012 to February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the therapeutic efficacy and survival status were also analyzed.Results:Of the 14 patients, 5 were males and 9 were females; the median age was 35 years old (12-59 years old). There were 12 patients with acute myeloid leukemia, 1 patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small cell lymphoma, and 1 patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At the time of transplantation, 4 patients achieved bone marrow complete remission, 3 patients achieved bone marrow partial remission, and the remaining 7 patients had no remission. Five patients received HLA-matched sibling transplantation, 9 patients received haplotype transplantation, and they all received myeloablative pretreatment schemes. All 14 patients were successfully implanted; the median engraftment time of granulocyte was 16 d (10-24 d), and the median engraftment time of platelet was 13 d (10-34 d). Grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurred in 7 patients, chronic GVHD occurred in 6 patients, and grade Ⅲ intestinal GVHD occurred in 2 patients. The median follow-up time was 32 months (4-97 months). Among 14 patients, 5 patients died.Conclusion:The allo-HSCT can improve the prognosis and long-term survival rate of TRL patients.

Objective To evaluate the ability of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)in differentiating pancreatic carcinoma from chronic lump type pancreatitis. Methods Totally 38 cases of pancreatic cancer, 9 cases of chronic lump type pancreatitis, 15 cases of normal patients underwent DWI. DWI with b value＝0, 500, 1 000 s/mm2 was performed twice. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was measured by analysis of imagines of ADC. Results The mean ADC value of 38 subjects with pancreatic carcinoma was (1.411± 0.101)×10-3 mm2/sec, the mean ADC value of 9 subjects with lump type pancreatitis was (1.053±0.113) ×10-3 mm2/sec, and the mean ADC value of normal pancreas subjects was (1.245±0.112)×10-3 mm2/s. The difference between the three groups were statistically significant (P＜0.05). Conclusions DWI may have the clinical potential to differentiate chronic lump type pancreatitis from pancreatic carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplan-tation(haplo-HSCT)treatment in children with hematological diseases.Methods Fifty-nine cases of less than 14 years old children with hematonosis were analyzed retrospectively,who were enrolled in the Aerospace Central Hospital from July 2012 to June 2016.And the evaluation was carried out by analyzing the success rate of implantation,occu-rrence rate of graft versus host disease(GVHD),infection rate and transplant related mortality(TRM),cumulative re-currence rate,overall survival rate(OS)and disease-free survival rate(DFS).Results In total of 59 cases,the 59 engraftments were successfully transplanted,the median time of leukocyte engraftment was 18(8-23)days,the median time of platelet engraftment was 21(11-68)days,the bone marrow was assessed 28 days after transplanta-tion,which showed that 59 patients achieved complete remission(CR)and DNA test confirmed complete donor chime-rism.With a median of follow-up time of 19(5-56)months,the cumulative recurrence rates ofⅠ,Ⅱgrade andⅢ,Ⅳ grade acute GVHD were(38.3 ± 6.3)%(23 cases)and(16.7 ± 4.8)%(10 cases),respectively,the chronic GVHD cumulative recurrence rate was(65.6 ± 7.5)%(30 cases),the cytomegalovirus(CMV)viremia cumulative recurrence rate was(45.1 ± 6.5)%(27 cases),the Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)viremia cumulative recurrence rate was(10.0 ± 3.9)%(6 cases),the viral cystitis cumulative recurrence rate was(20.0 ± 5.5)%(12 cases),the transplant related mortality was(12.8 ± 6.0)%,the 2-year cumulative recurrence rate of CR group was(8.0 ± 5.4)%,and that of non-remission(NR)group was(64.1 ± 11.9)%.The 2-year OS of CR group was(78.9 ± 7.5)%,the 2-year OS of NR group was(32.5 ± 12.9)%,the 2-year DFS of CR group was(79.5 ± 9.8)%,the 2 years DFS of NR group was(27.4 ± 7.9)%.Conclusions Haplo-HSCT is safe and effective in treating children with hematonosis,and haplo-HSCT has high survival rate and low recurrent,especially when transplantation is per-formed in the remission stage.But the prognosis of haplo-HSCT is poor in the refractory and relapsed patients,and to explore the preventing recurrence measures are very urgent.

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in refractory or relapsed leukemia patients undergoing total body irradiation and FLAG regimen consisting of fludarabine,cytarabine,granulocyte colony stimulating factor (TBI/FLAG).Methods Forty-seven cases of refractory or relapsed leukemia treated in our hospital between May 2012 and December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively,including 14 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia,31 cases of acute myeloid leukemia,2 cases of acute transformation of chronic myelocytic leukemia.All patients did not achieve remission before bone marrow transplantation.The proportion of blast cells was 10％-98％.The TBI/FLAG was the main conditioning regimen.Kaplan-meier curve was used to analyze the cumulative incidence of GVHD,cumulative recurrence rate,overall survival rate (OS) and disease-free survival rate (DFS).Results Of 47 cases,there was only one patient with infection during the preconditioning and the cell engraftment was not successful,and the rest 46 patients were successfully engrafted.The median time of leukocyte engraftment was 17 (11-25) days,and the median time of platelet engraftment was 21 (11-70) days.The cumulative incidence of acute GVHD was (62.3 ± 7.3)％,including 51.1％ and 28.4％ in Ⅱ and Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade respectively.Twenty-four patients suffered chronic GVHD in 44 assessable patients,and the cumulative incidence was (77.1 ± 11.2)％.The bone marrow was assessed 28 days after transplantation,and the results showed that 46 patients achieved complete remission,and DNA test confirmed complete donor chimerism.The median follow-up time was 12 (1-44) months,25 patients survived (53.19％,25/47),and 13 relapsed (27.65％,13/47).The 1-yearOS and DFS was 47.9％ and 45.5％ after transplantation.Conclusion TBI/FLAG-based regimen is safe and effective for refractory or relapsed leukemia,and the major risk still is relapse for refractory or relapsed leukemia patients after transplantation.The method of preventing recurrence needs to be further explored.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of quantitative detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA from different sources [plasma, sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)] for CMV pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 405 recipients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 19 recipients diagnosed with CMV pneumonia were assigned into the CMV pneumonia group, and 229 recipients with CMV viremia alone, 11 recipients without CMV pneumonia who received fiberoptic bronchoscopy and 16 recipients diagnosed with bacterial or fungal pneumonia based on pathogenic evidence receiving sputum culture were assigned into the control A, B and C groups, respectively. The incidence of CMV pneumonia was summarized. The CMV DNA load of specimens from different sources (plasma, sputum and BALF) of recipients with CMV pneumonia was analyzed. The clinical prognosis of recipients with CMV pneumonia was evaluated. Results Among 405 recipients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, 19 cases developed CMV pneumonia, and the overall incidence of CMV pneumonia was 4.7%(19/405). The CMV DNA load in the plasma, sputum and BALF of recipients with CMV pneumonia was higher than those in the control A, B and C groups (all P < 0.05). In the 19 recipients, 12 cases were cured after antiviral treatment and 7 died from treatment failure(3 cases abandoned treatment). The fatality was 37%(7/19). Conclusions Quantitative detection of CMV DNA in the plasma, sputum and BALF may increase the diagnostic rate of CMV pneumonia, thereby improving clinical prognosis of recipients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia associated with 11q23/MLL.Methods:Retrospection and analysis 50 cases of acute myeloid leukemia with 11q23/MLL and who were treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)in our hospital from September 2012 to December 2019. The efficacy was evaluated by analyzing the transplantation success rate, graft-versus-host disease rate, infection rate, transplant-related mortality(TRM), accumulative recurrence rate, disease-free survival rate(DFS), and overall survival rate(OS).Results:Except for 1 patient had an unsuccessful stem cell transplantationas the result of multiple organ failure, the remaining 49 patients were successfully transplanted. The median time of leukocyte transplantation was 15(9~18)days, and the median time of platelet transplantation was 13(8~33)days. Bone marrow was assessed 28 days after transplantation, and 49 patients were in CR status. The median follow-up time was 38(3~79)months. Between remission group and non-remission group after transplantation, the 3-year OS rates were(83.3±10.8)%, (30.9+ 8.2)%( P=0.002)and the 3-year DFS rates were(83.3+ 10.8)%, (28.4±8.0)%( P=0.003), respectively. Conclusions:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an effective method for the treatment of 11q23/MLL rearranged AML. Patients in remission before transplantation have a higher survival rate, and recurrence after transplantation is the primary problem currently faced.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and molecular features of patients with CD7 +relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia(r/rAML)and the prognosis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods:172 r/rAML patients who underwent allo-HSCT in department of hematology, Aerospace Center Hospital between January 1st 2017 and December 31st 2020 were retrospectively analyzed The patients were were divided into CD7 + group( n=75) and CD7 - group( n=97) according to the expression CD7 in the initial immunophenotype. Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square test were used to compare the clinical data, molecular and cytogenetic characteristics of the two groups of patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) of the two groups of patients, and Cox regression screenthe prognostic factors of the patients. Results:The median follow-up time was 19 months. The recurrence rates were 23.71% and 50.67%, respectively in CD7 - and CD7 + group (χ 2=13.428 P<0.001). In relapsed patients, 86.96 percentage of CD7 - group did not express CD7 while 86.84 percentage of CD7 + group expressed CD7. The median PFS was 25 and 5 months in CD7 - and CD7 + group (χ 2=8.695, P=0.003), and the medianOS was 34 and 15 months in CD7 - and CD7 + group (χ 2=2.579, P=0.108). Univariate analysis showed that the CD7 +group, had the lower rates of morphological remission (χ 2=10.014, P=0.002), molecular remission (χ 2=22.809, P<0.001), and more male patients (χ 2=5.281, P=0.022). The incidence of CEBPA double-site mutation was higher (23.4% vs 8.2%, χ 2=8.180, P=0.004) and the rearrangement of RUNX1::RUNX1T1 was lower(4.0% vs18.6%, χ 2=8.362, P=0.004)in CD7 +group than in CD7 -group. Multivariate analysis showed that pre-transplant tumor load was the only prognostic factor for PFS (HR, 1.600; 95% CI, 1.203 to 2.127; P=0.001) and OS (HR, 1.737; 95% CI, 1.273 to 2.369; P<0.001) in r/r AML patients. Conclusion:CD7 expression is a risk factor for poor prognosis in r/r AML patients, and CD7 expression is stable after relapse. Positive CD7 can be used as a target for immune targeted therapy.
