Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) in patients with relapsed and refractory malignant lymphoma. Methods The clinical data of 10 patients (6 males and 4 females) with relapsed (4 cases) and refractory (6 cases) malignant lymphomas who received AHSCT in General Hospital of Jinan Military Command from August 2011 to June 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. The median age was 34 years (20 ˉ50 years); 5 cases of Hodgkin lymphoma, 5 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Before transplantation, all patients received several courses of radiotherapy or chemotherapy. High dose of cytoxan combined with G-CSF were used to mobilize peripheral hematopoietic stem cell, and preconditioning regimen included BEAM, CBV or TBI. Results The median mononuclear cell of 10 patients was 7.385 × 108/kg. Complete remission was achieved in 8 patients after transplantation, and 2 cases relapsed. Median follow-up time was 18 months (20ˉ50 months). The overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate both were 80%(8/10). All patients had nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, oral mucositis and other adverse reactions, which could be tolerated. Conclusion ASHCT is an effective and safe method for treatment of relapsed and refractory malignant lymphomas.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of tuina therapy for primary insomnia.Methods:Nine Chinese and English databases were searched from the inception to May 2017 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying tuina therapy for insomnia.The enrolled articles were all RCTs with tuina as the monotherapy or major therapy in the experiment group,with clear diagnostic criteria for primary insomnia well recognized worldwide or in China,and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQ I) as one of the outcome measures.Two researchers evaluated the risk of bias and quality of the enrolled studies by following Cochrane Handbook version 5.1.0.The meta-analysis was performed by RevMan version 5.3.Results:Eleven studies were included with a total of 1 076 participants.The Western medication adopted in the control groups were benzodiazepine receptor agonists.The studies were all assessed as high risk of bias for blinding since blinding method was unable to be performed due to the specificity of tuina therapy;no study reported the support of fund or potential interest conflict,so they were all rated unclear for selective reporting.The meta-analysis showed that compared with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies,tuina worked more effectively in reducing the PSQI score (MD=-4.11<0,95% confidence interval (CI)-6.01 to-2.22,P<0.0001);compared with oral administration of Western medication,tuina showed more significant efficacy in reducing the PSQI score (MD=-3.42<0,95%CI-5.19 to-1.66,P<0.0001).Subgroup analysis showed that head tuina alone showed no significant difference compared with oral administration of Western medication regarding the change of PSQI score (MD=-4.19<0,95%CI-8.87 to 0.50,P>0.05);a combination of head and back tuina could more effectively reduce the PSQI score compared with oral administration of Western medication (MD=-2.08<0,95%CI-3.09 to-1.06,P<0.0001).Conclusion:Tuina can produce more significant efficacy in treating primary insomnia compared with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies and oral administration of Western medication,especially the combination of head and back tuina.
