BACKGROUND: Al ogeneic hematopoietic stem cel transplantation is the main method to cure leukemia, but the patients receiving al ogeneic hematopoietic stem cel transplantation stil have to face the risk of recurrence. Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedul ary relapse mode with worse clinical outcomes, so it is necessary to understand the characteristics of myeloid sarcoma and relative treatment methods. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment methods of myeliod sarcomas in cardio-phrenic angle after al ogeneic peripheral blood stem cel transplantation. METHODS: One case was diagnosed as single myeloid sacoma in the cardio-phrenic angle after al ogeneic peripheral blood stem cel transplantation. The patient underwent surgical resection of the mass, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The clinical effect, complications and survival situation were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The patient suffered from bacteremia, fungal pneumonia and even life-threatening sepsis shock during two courses chemotherapies. Then, the patient received radiotherapy for mediastinum and the myeloid sacoma never relapsed. However, the patient suffered central nervous system leukemia after free of the disease for 25 months. Myeliod sarcoma after al ogeneic hematopoietic stem cel transplantation is rare and its manifestation is changeful. The diagnosis mainly depends on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, second transplantation and molecular targeted drugs are the choices of treatment strategy. However, the optimal treatment strategy for individual patients remains to be determined.

The aim of this study was to compare the pain experience among orthodontic patients treated with self-ligating brackets SmartClip® (3M Unitek, Monrovia, California, USA) and conventional brackets Victory series® (3M Unitek, Monrovia, California, USA). We used a controlled clinical trial study design to compare 69 patients treated with self-ligating to 70 patients treated by conventional brackets. The nickel-titanium archwires 0.012-in were engaged after bonding both arches on the first day; and the visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the pain experience of subjects for the first seven treatment days. The pre-treatment dental study models were assessed by the Little’s irregularity index to quantify the groups’ malalignment characteristics. The self-ligating brackets reported lower pain experience than the conventional group on the first five treatment days. However, the sixth day showed 1.75 mm higher visual analogue score than conventional brackets, with almost equal pain level on the seventh day. The group differences throughout the first week were neither clinically nor statistically significant. The pain experiences in both groups decreased steadily from the third treatment day to the end of the first week of treatment. Based on the study findings, the pain experience during initial alignment is not influenced by the brackets’ ligation type. The pain experience tends to decrease steadily from the third treatment day to the end of the first week of treatment irrespective of the bracket type used.

Objective To investigate the adjuvant effect of dimo-thylidioctyl ammonium bromide (DDA) and/or DDA-BCG polysaccharide nucleic acid( BCG-PSN), which was combined with a Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein AMM ( Ag 8 5 B - MPT64190-198 - Mtb8.4 ) to boost BCG primed immunization. Methods DDA with or without BCG PSN was mixed with the fusion protein AMM to construct the boosting vaccine. Mice were immunized with BCG and then boosted twice with AMM formulated with the adjuvant DDA with or without BCG-PSN. PBS or BCG vaccination without boosting was used as control. The humoral and cell-mediated immune responses were analyzed by ELISA and ELISPOT. Moreover, the protective efficacy of BCG prime-AMM subunit vaccine boosting against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection was analyzed. Results With in vitro stimulation of Ag85B and PPD( purified protein derivative) antigen, the number of IFN-γ secreting cells from the mice boosted twice by AMM/DDA/BCG-PSN and AMM/DDA were higher than BCG and PBS group (P <0.05). The CFU in lungs of mice boosted with AMM/DDA/BCG-PSN was less than that of PBS group(P <0.05), while the CFU of AMM/DDA-boosted mice was less than that of BCG and PBS group(P < 0.05).However, fewer lesions were seen in lungs of mice immunized with BCG alone or BCG-prime-AMM/DDA/BCG-PSN boosting than the other groups. Conclusion DDA is an idea adjuvant for tuberculosis subunit vaccine;BCG-PSN might play a role in alleviating the immunity-mediated pathology.
