Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a group of highly-heterogeneous clonal diseases. Chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are considered as effective treatment for AML. For high-risk AML patients, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an effective therapeutic option. However, some AML patients may still face the problem of disease recurrence after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A majority of recurrent patients cannot be effectively treated by chemotherapy or secondary transplantation, which is the main cause of death after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Therefore, it is of significance to strengthen follow-up of AML patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and implement appropriate measures to prevent postoperative recurrence. In this article, the monitoring, drug prevention and cell therapy of recurrence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in high-risk AML patients were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for improving clinical prognosis of high-risk AML patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objective:To explore the key genes related to the development, progression and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) based on bioinformatics, and to analyze their functions.Methods:The chip expression profile GSE84881 data set of AML patients including 19 AML samples and 4 normal tissue samples was downloaded from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. GEO online tool GEO2R was used to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEG). The DAVID online database was used to make gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of DEG. The STRING online database was used to analyze the protein interaction (PPI) network of DEG, and the key genes were screened by using the Cytoscape software. The weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to build co-expressed network and obtain the central genes.LC-Bio online platform was used to construct Venn diagram and the key genes and central genes in PPI were crossed to finally obtain the true key genes. RNA-seq datasets GSE2191 and GSE90062 of human tissues were downloaded from GEO database to verify the screened key genes. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the effects of key genes on the overall survival (OS) of AML based on the data of GEPIA database.Results:A total of 247 DEG were identified in GSE84881 data set, including 112 up-regulated genes and 135 down-regulated genes. According to the results of GO enrichment analysis, 247 DEG were mainly enriched in the regulation of signal transduction and cell proliferation in the biological process (BP); the cell composition (CC) revealed that these genes were mainly involved in the cytoplasm and exosomes; the molecular function (MF) analysis showed that these genes were mainly enriched in protein binding and calcium binding. Further KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that these 247 DEG were mainly involved in NOD-like receptor signal pathway and interleukin 17 (IL-17) signal pathway. And then the 12 key genes were obtained from PPI. WGCNA software was used to screen 13 central genes from GSE84881 dataset and finally 1 real key gene EGF was obtained after taking intersection. Kaplan-Meier method showed that OS time of AML patients in EGF high expression group was decreased than that in EGF low expression group, and the difference was statistically significant( P = 0.044). Conclusions:EGF may be an important diagnosis and treatment target of AML and may become a potential biomarker for clinical treatment and prognosis prediction of AML.

AIM: To study the pathological change in mouse organs immunitied by inactivated SARS-CoV vaccine. METHODS: Inactivated SARS-CoV vaccine was injected into BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Anti-SARS antibody was analyzed by ELISA. After 8 weeks, the immunitied mice were killed and those organs were analyzed by pathological methods. RESULTS: Anti-SARS antibody in mice was positive after 8 days. Only minimal injury was observed in a few lungs and livers, but the other organs were not. CONCLUSIONS: Inactivated SARS-CoV vaccine induced mice to create antibody, whereas they did not cause severe injury. This result will be valuable for vaccine into clinical research. [
