Objective To evaluate the remission situation of early re-induction with priming low dose regimen containing G-CSF in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods Ninety-seven AML patients in our hospital from March 2015 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.All cases adopted the standard DA regimen for conducting the induction chemotherapy,among them,38 cases had significant residual disease on 14 d of induction chemotherapy,21 cases adopted the low dose priming regimen for conducting the early re-induction chemotherapy,17 cases adopted the tandard DA gregimen for conducting the re-induction chemotherapy.The complete remission(CR) rate and and adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results The total CR rate in all 97 cases was 60.8%;among 38 cases needing re-induction chemotherapy,the CR rate in the priming regimen re-induction group was 76.2 %,which was significantly higher than 41.2 % in the DA regimen re-induction group,the difference was statistically significant (P=0.028);the occurrence rates of side effects such as infection and cytopenia during re-induction chemotherapy process had no difference between two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion For AML patients with obvious residual disease on 14 d of induction chemotherapy,adopting low dose priming regimen in re-duction chemotherapy has higher CR,which is superior to the standard DA regimen.

OBJECTIVE To observe the short-term efficacy and safety of venetoclax combined with homoharringtonine and cytarabine in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS The data of 40 newly diagnosed AML patients admitted to our hospital from October 2022 to November 2023 were retrospectively collected and divided into observation group and control group according to treatment plan, with 20 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given Daunorubicin hydrochloride for injection+Cytarabine for injection, and the patients in the observation group were given Venetoclax tablets+ Homoharringtonine injection+Cytarabine for injection. The patients in both groups were given relevant medicine, with 28 days as one cycle. The short-term efficacy, negative rate of minimal residual disease (MRD), duration of granulocyte deficiency, duration of platelet (PLT) <20×109 L-1, transfusion volume of suspended red blood cells and platelet, and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions were evaluated in both groups after 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy. RESULTS The complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CR/CRi) rate in the observation group was significantly higher than control group (P<0.05), and the negative rate of MRD in the observation group was also significantly higher than control group (P<0.05). However, in low-, medium- and high-risk patients, there was no statistical significance in CR/CRi rates between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the duration of agranulocytosis, the duration of PLT <20×109 L-1, the amount of suspended red blood cell transfusion, the amount of platelet transfusion, the incidence of hematologic toxicity and the incidence of non-hematologic toxicity between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Venetoclax combined with homoharringtonine and cytarabine show good short-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of AML.
