To study and compare the protective effects of Cordyceps sinensis from different habitats on acute injury of hepatic tissue induced by carbon tetrachloride ( CCl4 ) . Methods:The rat model of acute injury of hepatic tissue induced by CCl4 was established. The biochemical indicators of alanine aminotranferease ( ALT) and aspartate aminotransferease ( AST) in the serum and superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and L-glutathione( GSH) in the liver tissue were detected, and the liver tissue HE staining was used for the histopathology determination. Results:Compared with those in the model group, the levels of AST and ALT in the serum were sig-nificantly reduced, the levels of SOD and GSH in the liver tissue were notably increased, and the necrosis of liver cells was improved in Cordyceps sinensis groups at low, medium and high dose from different habitats (P<0. 05), however, the differences between the two different habitats were not significant (P>0. 05). Conclusion: Cordyceps sinensis from Qinghai and Tibet shows some positive differences in the protective effect on the acute chemical liver injury induced by CCl4 in rats,however, the differences are not remarka-ble.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the amount of grafted cells and the incidence of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) after haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Methods Data of 68 patients who underwent haplo-HSCT from Jan 2009 to Dec 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Influences of different factors on the incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree of aGVHD after HSCT were evaluated. Results 68 patients including 42 males and 26 females were 5/10-9/10 HLA match with 19 father donors, 24 mother donors, 16 sibling donors and 9 children donors. 51 patients not suffered Ⅲ-Ⅳdegree of aGVHD included 32 males and 19 females with the mean age of 20 years old (5-55 years old). 17 patients sufferedⅢ-Ⅳdegree of aGVHD including 10 males and 7 females with the mean age of 23 years old (5-54 years old). There were no significant differences in the amount of the grafted mononuclear cells (MNC) and CD34+cells, and the white blood cell counts (WBC) and platelet count (Plt) recovered time between two groups (P>0.05). However, MNC number was related to CD34+cell number (P<0.05) and WBC recover time (P<0.05), and the CD34+cells number was related to WBC and Plt recover time (P< 0.05). Conclusion The incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree of aGVHD is unrelated to the amount of grafted MNC, and CD34+cells.

Objective To explore the preventative effect of donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) infusion mobilized by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for the relapsing patients with leukemia after haplotype hematopoietic stem cell transplantation ( HSCT) , as well as its therapeutic effect and safety. Methods G-CSF was given at 5-10 μg · kg-1 · d-1 to donor and PBSCs were obtained on day 5 and frozen and allotted for storing. PBSC infusion was given to all the 20 patients on day 90 after HSCT,and the second treatment was given to 4 patients on day 30 after the first infusion. The occurrence of graftversus-host disease ( GVHD) , relapse rate of high risk leukemia and long-term survival were evaluat after PBSC infusion. Results A total of 19 patients had acute GVHD after PBSC infusion for a median of 25 (12-60) months, 4 of them were ≥ degree Ⅲ. The cumulative incidence rate was 22.9%, and all of them accepted PBSC infusion twice. Thirteen patients had assessable chronic GVHD, 10 of them were restricted,and no one died of it. Nine patients died of relapse of leukemia. The remaining 11 patients survived leukemia free, including 4 with chronic myelogenous leukemia, 4 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) , 1 with lymphoma-leukemia and 2 with myelodysplastic syndrome-AML (MDS-AML). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the disease free survival rate of 2-year was 52. 5%. Conclusion The prophylactic donor PBSC infusion mobilizing with G-CSF is effective, safe and feasible for the relapse of leukemia.

BACKGROUND:Alogeneic hematopoietic stem cel transplantation (alo-HSCT) is an effective mean to cure severe aplastic anemia, and especialy haplotype transplantation is regarded as a transplantation system with Chinese characteristics, and rank at the international leading level. OBJECTIVE:To explore the patterns of haplotype alo-HSCT as a new immune tolerance method for severe aplastic anemia and to solve the transplantation rejection and graft-versus-host disease. METHODS:Twelve patients with severe aplastic anemia who underwent haplotype alo-HSCT at the Department of Hematology, General Hospital of Beijing Military Area, China from April 2013 to May 2014 were enroled. Al these patients received the new regimen of inducing immune tolerance through the application of high-dose cyclophosphamide (400 mg/m2, consecutively 3 days before transplantation; 50 mg/kg, consecutively 3 days after haplotype transplantation). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The median time of neutrophil recovery was 17 (13-21) days, and the median time of platelet recovery was 21 (15-31) days. After transplantation, there were one case of degree II acute graft-versus-host disease and one case of chronic graft-versus-host disease, both of which were controled. The folow-up time was 6 months at least, and the median time was 11 months. During the folow-up, one case died of rejection reaction and one case died of severe lung infection. These findings indicate that the new method of inducing immune tolerance with high-dose cyclophosphamide after transplantation for severe aplastic anemia has significant effects in reducing graft-versus-host disease and transplantation-related mortality rate.
