Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of consolidation chemotherapy combined with microtransplantation in the treatment of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:The clinical data of 45 elderly patients with AML in Suzhou Yongding Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. After 1 or 2 courses of induced chemotherapy, the patients achieved complete response (CR). Among them, 20 patients were given consolidation chemotherapy (single group), and 25 patients were given consolidation chemotherapy combined with microtransplantation (combined group). After 3 courses of treatment, the minimal residual disease (MRD), quantitative expression of WT1 gene and adverse reactions were compared between 2 groups; the quality of life before treatment and after treatment was evaluated by quality of life-BREF (QOL-BREF). The patients were followed up to November 1, 2020, and the median follow-up was 30 months. The overall survival and progress-free survival (PFS) were recorded.Results:The MRD negative rate and WT1 gene negative rate after treatment in combined group were significantly higher than those in single group: 60.00% (15/25) vs. 25.00% (5/20) and 52.00% (13/25) vs. 20.00% (4/20), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The recovery times of neutrophils and platelets in combined group were significantly shorter than those in single group: 10 (8, 12) d vs. 16 (13, 20) d and 14 (11, 17) d vs. 24 (19, 30) d, and there were statistical differences ( Z = 3.152 and 4.285, P<0.05). No adverse reactions such as liver and kidney abnormalities or gastrointestinal reactions occurred in 2 groups; and no specific graft versus host disease (GVHD) occurred in the combined group. The each item scores of QOL-BREF after treatment in combined group were significantly higher than those in single group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The 2-year overall survival rate and PFS rate in combined group were significantly higher than those in single group: 60.00% (15/25) vs. 35.00% (7/20) and 52.00% (13/25) vs. 25.00% (5/20), and there were statistical differences ( χ2 = 4.235 and 4.742, P = 0.040 and 0.029). Conclusions:Consolidation chemotherapy combined with microtransplantation is effective and safe in the treatment of elderly patients with AML. It can significantly improve the quality of life, and improve the overall survival rate and PFS rate.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of patients with pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) and the application of mNGS in PLA, thus to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The demographic and clinical data of 549 patients with liver abscess admitted to Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from December 2015 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae in 246 patients with positive etiological test results, the patients were divided into two groups: KPLA group and nKPLA group, and clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. At the same time, the application value of mNGS in PLA was analyzed.Results:Among the 549 patients, the main clinical symptom of PLA was fever ( n= 503, 91.6%) and other clinical symptoms included chills and abdominal pain. Most patients had a single abscess ( n= 464, 84.5%) located in the right lobe ( n = 368, 67.0%), with a size between 5 and 10 cm ( n= 341, 62.1%). A total of 246 patients had positive etiological test results, including 202 KPLA patients which was the main pathogen of liver abscess. The prevalence of diabetes and fatty liver was higher in KPLA patients ( P < 0.05), but there were more culture of liver positive factors in nKPLA patients ( P < 0.001). Among the 109 patients with traditional microbiological results, 92 patients were suspected to KPLA (Klebsiella pneumoniae), of which 14 patients (15.2%) were multidrug resistant (MDR) infection; 17 patients were suspected to nKPLA, of which 10 patients (58.8%) were MDR infection; the incidence of MDR infection in patients with nKPLA was significantly higher than that in patients with KPLA ( P < 0.05). The positive rate of mNGS in plasma was 85.2%, the positive rate of traditional microbial culture in plasma was 14.8%, the positive rate of mNGS in pus was 96.2% and traditional microbial culture in pus was 65.4%. The positive rate of traditional culture was significantly lower than that of mNGS ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:PLA is usually manifested as fever, single and at the right lobe of the liver. Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most common pathogenic bacteria of PLA, which is more common in patients with diabetes and fatty liver, while non-Klebsiella pneumoniae is relatively more common in patients with culture of liver positive factors. The positive detection rate of mNGS is high, which has a unique advantage in pathogen detection.
