BACKGROUND: Umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is more and more widely used as a radical treatment for acute leukemia, but its therapeutic effect in different leukemias has not been compared. By comparing the efficacy of diseases, it can guide different patients to choose the transplantation method.OBJECTIVE: To compare and analyze the therapeutic effect of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia. METHODS: Clinical data of 306 cases of acute leukemia treated by unrelated umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were retrospectively analyzed, including 112 patients with acute myeloid leukemia and 194 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. All patients received myeloablative conditioning without antithymocyte, and the prevention of graft-versus-host disease was cyclosporine combined with mycophenolate mofetil. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Except that the relapse rate after acute lymphoblastic leukemia transplantation was slightly higher than acute myeloid leukemia, the efficacy of the two groups of patients after receiving unrelated umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was basically the same. (2) In the group of adolescents and young adults (aged 15-39 years), the rate of neutrophil and platelet implantation in acute myeloid leukemia was faster than in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Among them, CD34+ cell number and pretreatment program were independent influencing factors for neutrophil implantation, while CD34+ cell number was also an independent influencing factor for platelet implantation. In this age group, the recurrence rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients after transplantation was still higher than that of acute myeloid leukemia, in which chronic graft-versus-host disease was an independent influencing factor. (3) Immune reconstruction testing after transplantation suggests that cord blood CD8+ T cell reconstruction in patients with acute myeloid leukemia was better than in acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients 4 months after transplantation. (4) The above data show that pre-treatment of unrelated cord blood transplantation without antithymocyte globulin has a good effect on acute lymphocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia. Department of Hematology of The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China is qualified for stem cell transplantation.

Objective:
To investigate the refractive progression and associated factors of children of different ages and refractive status, and to provide guidance on myopia prevention and control program formulation and work practice.
Methods:
A total of 20 kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools in 2 districts of Shanghai were selected based on the existing cohort, and baseline data in 2015 and one year follow up data in 2016 were collected from 1 510 children aged 4 to 14, including cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER), axial length (AL), and corneal curvature. The distribution and progression of SER and AL in children of different ages and refractive status were analyzed, and the influencing factors of SER progression (ΔSER) were explored using multiple linear regression.
Results:
ΔSER remained relatively stable at age 4 and 5 (average -0.08 to -0.07 D/year), and SER drifted significantly towards myopia (average -0.50 to -0.31 D/year) in all groups older than 6 years, dropping back to -0.44 to -0.33 D/year after age 11; Elongation of AL (ΔAL) was 0.27 to 0.35 mm/year in 4 to 10 years group, and decreased to 0.15 to 0.22 mm/year in 11 to 14 years group. The ΔSER and ΔAL were greatest in the new onset myopes [(-0.90± 0.05 )D, (0.51±0.02)mm], followed by the low myopia group [(-0.68±0.04)D, (0.36±0.02)mm], then followed by the moderate to high myopia group[(-0.49±0.06)D,(0.23±0.03)mm] and the lowest in the hyperopia group[(-0.21±0.02)D, ( 0.26 ±0.01)mm], with a statistically significant difference among these groups ( P <0.05). Age ( β =-0.07), baseline SER ( β = 0.05 ) and ΔAL ( β =-0.78) were independent influencing factors for refractive progression in the 4 to 10 years old group, while ΔAL( β =-1.55) was the only independent influencing factor in the 11 to 14 years old group ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
The elongation of AL in preschoolers is mostly physiologically and should be prevented from growing beyond the physiological range by increasing outdoor activities. The primary students, as well as students with pre myopia or low myopia are the priority groups for dynamic monitoring and intervention in myopia prevention and control.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and efficacy of umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).Methods:From May 2014 to December 2019, clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 7 PNH patients undergoing UCBT. The grades were severe ( n=6) and extremely severe ( n=1). The causes were primary PNH ( n=4) and PNH-aplastic anemia (AA) syndrome ( n=3). There were 5 males and 2 females with a median age of 29 (20-47) years, a median weight of 60(50-71) kg and a median time from diagnosis to transplantation of 62.5(7.7-171) months. All of them were accompanied by transfusion dependence. Myeloablative ( n=6) and reduced-intensity ( n=1) pretreatment was offered. The regimen of preventing GVHD was cyclosporine A plus short-term mycophenolate mofetil without ATG. The median number of input nucleated cells was 2.4(1.71-4.28)×10 7/kg and the median number of CD34+ cells 1.58(0.88-3.02)×10 5/kg. Results:Neutrophil and erythroid engraftment was obtained with a median neutrophil engraftment time of 17(15-21) days and a median erythroid engraftment time of 27. Engraftment time of 37(25-101) days for platelets >20×10 9/L and 62(27-157) days for platelets >50×10 9/L. The incidence of 100-day acute GVHD was 28.6%(95%CI 0-55.3%). The severity of GVHD was grade Ⅱ° acute ( n=2) and mild ( n=1). The median follow-up period was 13.5(3-71.4) months. Six patients survived while another with PNH-AA syndrome with iron overload died of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The 2-year overall survival rate was 83.3%(95%CI 27.3-97.5%). Conclusions:With excellent engraftment and survival in the treatment of PNH, UCBT is indicated for patients without HLA full-match donor. PNH-AA syndrome with iron overload may be one of the important prognostic factors.

Objective:To study the distribution and changes of dopamine transporter (DAT) in guinea pig eyes under different light patterns.Methods:Thirty-six 3-week-old white ordinary-grade guinea pigs were randomly selected and divided into groups of 10 000 lx, 5 000 lx, and 500 lx, with 12 guinea pigs in each group exposed to strong light, medium strong light, and normal light, respectively.Each group was randomly divided into 3 subgroups, with 4 guinea pigs in each subgroup.The 3 subgroups of 500 lx group received light exposure for 5, 20, and 40 minutes, respectively.The 3 subgroups of 5 000 lx group received light exposure for 2, 4, and 40 minutes, respectively.The 3 subgroups of 10 000 lx group received light exposure for 2, 5, and 20 minutes, respectively.After light treatment, each group of guinea pigs was injected with 99mTc-TRODAT-1 for SPECT DAT imaging, and image data were collected by Micro-SPECT.The region of interest (ROI) of guinea pig retinas was analyzed using Micro-CT software.The counts of ROI were expressed as Sum, which reflected the relative distribution or density of DAT.The DAT density between experimental and control eyes of guinea pigs after light exposure, the differences in DAT density between guinea pig eyes under different light intensities, the differences in DAT density between guinea pig eyes after different light durations, and the cumulative and interactive effects of light intensity and light duration on DAT aggregation in guinea pigs were compared.Another 3 guinea pigs were selected, and after light exposure, the 3 guinea pigs' eyes underwent continuous image acquisition for 6 hours at 20-minute intervals, and 18 images per guinea pig were acquired to analyze the trend of DAT density in guinea pig eyes over time.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shanghai General Hospital (No.2020SQ196). Results:The DAT density (Sum value) of experimental eyes at 500, 5 000, and 10 000 lx were 5 598.97±3 159.38, 8 636.78±2 503.16, and 7 407.39±2 053.41, respectively, significantly higher than 4 388.89±2 902.90, 5 981.92±3 057.44, and 5 091.32±2 039.36 of control eyes ( t=5.31, 4.69, 11.80; all at P<0.001). At 500 lx, there was a statistically significant difference in DAT density between the experimental and control eyes of guinea pigs at different light exposure durations ( F=14.01, P<0.01), while no significant difference was found at other light intensities at different light exposure durations (both at P>0.05). When the light exposure time was 5 minutes, the difference in DAT density between the experimental and control eyes of guinea pigs was significantly greater in the 10 000 lx group than in the 500 lx group ( t=-13.22, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between different groups at other light exposure durations (all at P>0.05). No cumulative or interactive effects of light intensity and light duration were found on the differences in DAT density (all at P>0.05). Continuous scanning after illumination showed that DAT density in guinea pig retinas first increased to a peak over time and then gradually returned to normal values. Conclusions:Light, even under moderate or normal light levels, can cause an increase in the secretion of DAT in the retina and stimulate the production of DAT.Light intensity and duration have no cumulative or interactive effects on the distribution and density of retinal DAT.
