Objective To investigate the value of panel fluorescence in situ hybridization (panel FISH)for detection of genomic aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL). Methods Five types of fluorescein-labelled DNA probes including five sequence specific probes D13S25 for 13q14. 3, RB1, p53, ATM (11 q23)and centromeric probe for chromosome (CSP12) were used to perform fluorescence in situ hybridization assays in 17 patients with CLL. Its results were compared with that obtain by conventional cytogenetic (CC)examination. Results In 17 patients with CLL, CC examination showed that only one case (1/17) was found to have chromosomal abnormality that was simultaneous trisomies 3,8 and 18, whereas panel FISH assay showed that 10 cases (10/17) were found to have genomic aberrations including deletion of D13S25 in 4 cases,deletion of ATM in 2 cases,deletion of p53 in 1 case,deletion of D13S25 combined RB1 in 1 case and 1 case with a variety of abnormalities. Conclusions Panel FISH is a useful method for detection of genomic aberration in CLL If it is combined with CC,it can obviously enhance the detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities in CLL.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of moderate-dose of etoposide (VP16) with granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for mobilization of peripheral blood stem/progenitor cells.Methods VP16 at 1.2 g/m2 was injected intravenously by six divided doses via a central vein, 2 times every 12 hours for 3 days in 31 patients with malignant lymphoma (30 non-Hodgkin lymphoma and 1 Hodgkin lymphoma). All patients received G-CSF 5 μg/kg were given twice daily subcutaneously from the day of the nadir of white blood cell (WBC) till the day before the last APBSC harvest. Results The mean time for the collection of stem cell was 12 days (10-15) following etoposide chemotherapy. The mean number of mononuclear cell (MNC) and CD+34 cells in collection were 7.8×108/kg (5.2-11.3×108) and 7.2×106/kg (5.3-13.1×106). respectively. 18 patients completed collection with a single apheresis, and 13 patients underwenttwice. All patients were recovered for haematopoiesis in following APBSCT. Median (range) time for the recovery of absolute neutrophil count (ANC)>0.5×109/L and platelet>20×109/L were+12 (+9-+18) days and +14 (+10-+21) days respectively. Slight adverse events coursed by the regimen could be tolerated. Conclusion VP16 at moderate dose with G-CSF is an effective and safe mobilizing regimen for autologous peripheral blood stem/progenitor cells in patients with malignant lymphoma. It was suggested to use extensively.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics in ABO-incompatible allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(allo-PBSCT).Methods137 patients'clinical courses who accepted allo-PBSCT were retrospectively reviewed. Sixty-five cases of them were ABO-incompatible allo-PBSCT patients,including 32 ABO major mismatched cases,23 ABO minor mismatched cases and 10 ABO major and minor mismatched cases.Seventy-two ABO-identical cases were taken as control group.ResultsCompared with ABO-idential cases,the time of erythrocyte recovery after allo-PBSCT in ABO major and minor mismatched group was delayed [(73.2+10.3) d vs (97.5+10.4) d] (P <0.05).In ABO-incompatible group, the time of blood type switching in different ABO-incompatible types were found no significant difference (P >0.05) [ABO major mismatched:(45.7±17.3) d,ABO minor mismatched:(41.2+16.1) d and ABO major and minor mismatched:(48.4±20.9) d (P > 0.05)].There were 8 cases who have a delayed time of blood type changing, including 6 cases demonstrated recipient-derived anti-A antibody. ConclusionABO-incompatible has no negative effect on allo-PBSCT.The time of erythrocyte reconstitution was delayed in ABO major and minor mismatched group.A delayed time of blood type switching tends to occur in ABO minor incompatible cases and patients who have anti-A antibody initially.

Objective:
To investigate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) containing cladribine sequential busulfan regimen for refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) .
Methods:
The clinical data of 12 refractory/relapsed AML patients received allo-HSCT with cladribine sequential busulfan regimen.
Results:
① Of the 12 patients, 9 were males and 3 females, with a median age of 36 (27-50) years. The donors were identical sibling (3) , matched unrelated (1) and haploidentical family member (9) respectively. Nine patients reached partial remission and other remained no remission after chemotherapy before allo-HSCT. The median previous chemotherapy courses before allo-HSCT were 6 (2-13) . ② Conditioning regimen: Smostine 250 mg·m-2·d-1, d-7; Cladribine 5 mg·m-2·d-1, d-6 to d-2; Cytarabine Arabinoside 2 g·m-2·d-1, d-6 to d-2; Busulfan 3.2 mg·m-2·d-1, d-6 to d-3; Rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) 1.5 mg·m-2·d-1 (unrelated donor transplantation) or 2.0-2.5 mg·m-2·d-1 (haplo-HSCT) , d-4 to d-1. ③ Of the 12 patients, 11 patients attained complete haploidentical engraftment, one case occurred primary graft failure. The median durations for neutrophils and platelet implantations were 15 (15-21) and 19 (17-30) days respectively. ④After conditioning, no hepatic veno-occlusive diseases were observed, hemorrhagic cystitis occurred in 2 patients, 8 patients had fever, 3 cases experienced acute GVHD grade II, localized chronic GVHD occurred in 8 patients. ⑤The median follow-up was 8 (4-12) months. Leukemia relapse occurred in 2 patients at time of 6, 12 months after allo-HSCT. The estimated 1-year OS and DFS were (71.1±1.8) % and (62.2±1.8) %, respectively.
Conclusions
allo-HSCT with cladribine sequential busulfan regimen was a feasible choice with favorable outcome for refractory/relapsed AML.

Objective:To evaluate risk factors and available treatments of extramedullary relapse (EMR) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with myeloid leukemia.Methods:A total of 280 patients were retrospectively analyzed from January 2008 to December 2018 in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Clinical data were collected including disease patterns, pre-transplantation status, chromosome karyotype, conditioning regimen, types of donor, extramedullary disease before transplantation and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard model were uesd for univariate analysis and multivariate analysis, respectively.Results:Twenty patients developed EMR (7.14%). The median time of EMR was 7.5 (1-123) months after allo-HSCT. The mortality of EMR was 80% (16/20). Univariate analysis identified disease patterns, second complete remission (CR2) or progressive disease before transplantation, extramedullary disease, abnormal karyotype and conditioning regimen without total body radiation as significant factors correlated to EMR ( P<0.05). Multi-variable analysis revealed that CR2 or progressive disease ( RR=3.468,95% CI 2.189-7.786), abnormal karyotype ( RR=1.494,95% CI 1.020-2.189) and extramedullary disease before transplantation ( RR=8.627,95% CI 3.921-18.452) were independent risk factors of EMR. Conclusions:The clinical outcome of EMR after allo-HSCT is poor.It is crucial to comprehensively assess and identify EMR as early as possible.

Objective:
To analyze the efficacy and safety of asparaginase based chemotherapy bridging autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in the treatment of 16 patients with nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL).
Methods:
From January 2012 to June 2017, 16 patients with nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma reached complete remission by L-asparaginase based regimens, and then received auto-HSCT.
Results:
①Of the 16 patients, 12 were males and 4 females, with a median age of 35.5 (14-61) years. There were 11 patients in the first complete remission (CR1) and 5 in the second CR (CR2) before transplantation, respectively. EB virus (EBV) DNA (EBV-DNA) was negative and positive in 13 and 3 cases respectively before transplantation. ②Hematopoietic reconstitution was achieved in all 16 cases. The median time for neutrophils implantation was 12 (8-17) days, and that of platelet implantation was 15.5 (12-24) days. ③To the last follow-up, there were no transplant related deaths, 3 patients died of disease progression. The median overall survival (OS) time and progression-free survival time (PFS) were not reached. Seven patients lived with no disease progression more than 2 years. ④The OS and PFS of patients at CR1 before auto-HSCT are better than that of patients at CR2, but there was no statistically significant difference (
