Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of CAG regimen in treatment of primary, refractory and relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and analyse the factors influencing long-term survival. Methods Sixty-one patients with AML ( primary, n = 27; refractory, n = 18; relapsed, n = 16) and 9 patients with MDS were treated with CAG regimen. Examinations on liver and renal function, electrocardiogram and bone marrow cytology were performed before and after treatment, and adverse effects of CAG were observed. Short-term efficacy was evaluated based on clinical manifestation, peripheral blood and bone marrow cytologic examinations. Patients were followed up, overall survival ( OS) and disease free survival ( DFS) were analysed, and long-term efficacy of CAG regimen was evaluated. The factors influencing long-term survival were analysed by Log-rank test of survival curve. Results After a course of treatment by CAG regimen, the total effective rate was 71% , and 34 patients (49%) experienced complete remission. The median time of follow up was 45 months, the median OS was 28 months, and the median DFS was 23 months. Age, level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), remission condition after a course of treatment by CAG regimen and adoption of HD-Ara-C regimen as consolidation treatment were influencing factors for OS and DFS. The dominant clinical adverse effects were bone marrow depression, with 13 d as the median duration of agranulocytosis ( neutrophil <0.5 ×10~9/L) and 9 d as the median duration of thrombocytopenia (platelet <20 ×10~9/L). Conclusion CAG regimen may lead to favourable therapeutic effects in treatment of primary, refractory and relapsed AML and high risk MDS, and may yield less adverse effects and better long-term therapeutic effects. Age, level of LDH, remission condition after a course of treatment and adoption of HD-Ara-C regimen as consolidation treatment are dominant influencing factors for survival.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of in utero exposure to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) on the apoptosis of testicular cells in the pubertal male rat offspring.
METHODSTen pregnant SD rats were randomly divided into a control and an experimental group to be treated intragastrically with olive oil (1 ml per day) and DBP (500 mg per kg of body weight per day) respectively between gestation days 12 and 19. At the pubertal age (postnatal day 45, PND 45), the testes of the male rat offspring were removed for observation of the cell structure under the transmission electron microscope and the development of different spermatogenetic cells by HE staining. The apoptosis of testicular cells was detected by the TUNEL method, the expressions of the apoptosis-regulating proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, Bax and p53 were determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot, and the data obtained were compared between the two groups by t-test.
RESULTSTransmission electron microscopy revealed increased apoptosis and vacuolization of testicular cells in the PND-45 rat offspring, HE staining showed markedly decreased numbers of different spermatogenetic cells, TUNEL manifested significantly increased apoptosis of testicular cells in the experimental group as compared with the control (12.00 ± 5. 22 vs 3.17 ± 1.47, P < 0.01), and immunohistochemistry and Western blot exhibited remarkably higher expressions of Bax and p53 in the former than in the latter group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONIn utero exposure to DBP can increase the apoptosis of germ cells and Sertoli cells, induce the vacuolization of testicular cells, and significantly elevate the expressions of the apoptosis-promoting proteins Bax and p53 in the pubertal male rat offspring.

Objective To evaluate the safety, efficiency and feasibility of HLA-identical sibling using culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells in treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Also to investigate for valid preventive measures to avoid the infection of HBV originated from donor. Methods A 46-years-old male patient with myelodysplastic syndrome-refractory anemia (MDSRA) got a cotransplantation of culture-expanded mensenchymal stem cells (MSC) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from HLA-identical sibling donor (his sister) who was infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV). Some measures were applicated in order to avoid the recipient from getting a HBV infection. The antiviral therapy to the donor was began early at the time 1 month before transplant, and HBV vaccine inoculation was used 2 month before transplant. High titer of anti-hepatis B immunoglobulin was used 1 week before transplant and 1 month after transplant the use of prophylactic anti-hepatis B drug treatment was begun. A non-myeloablative preparative regimen included fludarabine monophosphate (Flu, 120 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (Cy, 1200 mg/m2)and antithymocyte globulin (ATG, 15 mg/kg) was given to him before culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cell and allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell from his HLA-matched sister. Results The regimen was well tolerated, and hemopoiesis was reconstituted on day 10 after transplant, idiochromosome detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization on day 30 showed XY 47/300 and on day 90 it was 7/300. No evidence of HBV infection was detected on day 60 after transplant. Conclusion The clinical course of this patient indicate that HLA-identical sibling culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cell transplantation combined with non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation can be an effective and safe approach in treatment of MDS.
