Objective:To investigate the clinical features of IgD multiple myeloma (MM) and the effect and prognosis of daratumumab-based combination therapy.Methods:The clinicopathological data of a IgD MM patient with disease progression and extramedullary infiltration treated with daratumumab in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University in December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The 74-year-old woman was diagnosed as IgD MM by bone marrow aspiration and immunofixation electrophoresis. The patient was given VD (bortezomib, dexamethasone), RD (lenalidomide, dexamethasone) and ID (ixazomib, dexamethasone) regimens. In June 2020, the patient developed multiple subcutaneous nodules, and she was assessed as progressive disease with extensive extramedullary infiltration. After treated with daratumumab-PAD (liposomal doxorubicin, bortezomib, dexamethasone) regimen, the patient's subcutaneous nodules were significantly reduced and partially disappeared, and the general condition was significantly improved. But the patient was in a cachexia state and finally died of the irregular treatment and disease progression.Conclusions:IgD MM has a low incidence and a short survival period, and there is no uniform standard treatment. The early application of daratumumab combined with proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators, cytotoxic drugs and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may improve the overall survival of patients.

Objective:To analyze the genetic landscape of multiple fusion genes in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and investigate the characteristics of immunophenotypes and mutations.Methods:The results of multiple fusion genes from 4192 patients with de novo AML were retrospectively analyzed from 2016 to 2020. In addition, the immunophenotypical data and the mutational results from high-through put method were statistically investigated and correlated as well.Results:①Among the 52 targets, 29 different types of fusion genes were detected in 1948 patients (46.47%) with AML, which demonstrated an "exponential distribution" . ② As the age increased, the number of patients with fusion gene increased first and then decreased gradually. The total incidence rate of fusion genes and MLL rearrangment in children were significantly higher than those in adults (69.18% vs 44.76%, 15.35% vs 8.36%) . ③The mutations involving FLT3 and RAS signaling pathway contributed most in patients with MLL rearrangment. ④No specific immunophenotypic characteristics were found in AML patients with MLL or NUP98 rearrangements. Conclusion:Nearly half of AML patients were accompanied by specific fusion gene expression, the proportions of different fusion genes in pediatric and adults patients were different by multiple PCR. The gene mutations and immunophenotype of these AML patients have certain rules.

Objective: To investigate the effect of immunophenotyping on prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated with bortezomib regimen as main treatment. Methods: Seventy-six MM patients in the Department of Hematology in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2012 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The effects of the expressions of CD45, CD56 and other factors on progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in MM patients treated with bortezomib-containing regimen were also analyzed. Results: Univariate analysis showed that statistical differences of the median PFS (12 months vs. 19 months, P < 0.001) and median OS (19 months vs. 23 months, P= 0.001) were significant in the group of CD45 positive and negative of MM patients; the median PFS (14 months vs. 21 months, P= 0.014) and median OS (16 months vs. 25 months, P= 0.026) for MM patients with hemoglobin (Hb) < 100 g/L and Hb ≥ 100 g/L were statistically significant; the median PFS (13 months vs. 18 months, P= 0.004) and median OS (14 months vs. 24 months, P= 0.008) for MM patients with albumin (ALB) < 35 g/L and ALB ≥ 35 g/L were statistically significant. The median PFS time and the median OS time in female MM patients were shorter than those in male MM patients (13 months vs. 19 months, P= 0.008; 16 months vs. 25 months, P= 0.008). Multivariate analysis showed that female and CD45 positive were the independent poor prognostic factors for PFS and OS in MM patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion CD45 positive and female are important prognostic factors for MM patients treated with bortezomib regimen as main treatment.
